865 Traces of Spider

”The chain-wielding ghost messenger's voice trembled as he spoke: "That... my colleagues said, said... that Young Mistress is deeply favored by the Underworld Emperor. She must be difficult to serve,...Sleep, sleep, said lightly.

I've slept in this bed for over a decade. I can picture every detail of this room with my eyes closed. Now, there's a warm body right next to me.

I could excitedly chat all night, now how am I supposed to sleep

It's pretty late now, past one in the morning. I would usually be asleep by now.

But today I got a fright, and now I suddenly learned that it was Mu Wanchen's fan who was behind it all. This kind of gossipy thing involves me, and I can't help but imagine all sorts of dramatic scenes.

For example, Lian Chuling could be Mu Wanchen's childhood sweetheart or his fiancée... It would be a huge drama spanning dozens of episodes!

Mu Wanchen, after hearing me finish, couldn't help but poke my forehead: "What are you thinking Are you trying to cause chaos in the world"

"Then tell me more, satisfy my curiosity." I tried to coax him into talking.

Mu Wanchen slightly closed his eyes, feigning indifference.

This close, pretending to sleep wouldn't work at all. I reached up and scratched his arm and chin, but he ignored me.

Finally, I reached out and touched the dragon scale markings on his temple and cheekbone. He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and profound.

"Don't touch it," I whispered.

He stared at me for a while, then said in a flat tone, “......Yes.”

The atmosphere became somewhat subtle, his eyes like a deep sea under the night, flickering with faint, barely visible starlight.

That deep, abyss-like indigo light always flickered subtly in his gaze, vanishing as quickly as it appeared.

"What would you like to hear" His voice was soft, not angry anymore.

"...You all know I've been around for years, but I've only known you for a month. Of course, I'm curious about everything," I said softly.

"Well, whatever you want to know, I'll tell you." His tone was unusually soft.

Could it be that he likes being touched there It's like how cats enjoy being stroked.

I gently stroked his brow and eyelids, and he closed his eyes as I touched him.

This... This feeling...

My heart is literally exploding with girl power!

Such beautiful features, slightly closed eyes as I knead them, the moonlit bed is filled with pink bubbles.

"Wait for me, wait for me!" I said as I scrambled to my feet.

The curtain, which I had never let down before, was lowered for the first time, obscuring the entrance to the moonlit bed. The whole small space instantly became private and alluring.

Moonlight streamed through the window and cast a hazy glow through the carved bedposts.

He had half his face hidden in the shadow, squinting slightly as I burrowed back under the covers.

"Anything… I can say anything, as long as it's about you." I nestled against his chest, reaching up to rub his face and hair.

Such a magnificent city with mountains on both sides, endless green hills and lush forests, home to so many tribes for many years.

Isolated from the world, self-sufficient, taking a break to recuperate and thrive, preserving many rituals and traditions.

But now, it is also a bottleneck period of survival. Intermarriage within the tribe is no longer allowed. No matter how excellent the genes are, they must be continued by outsiders.

"There are matchmaking events every spring and autumn, quite lively." He said lightly.

"My, the girls there are all so beautiful and delicate. Haven't you ever considered marriage and having children Hmmm... that's different from raising a female gu, isn't it" I asked curiously.

He shook his head slightly: "There's no such thought. A wife is enough, too many women would interfere with my cultivation."

Pfft...

I muffled my laughter under the blanket.

He looked at me and said, "If it weren't for Mu Xia Qiao showing me love, perhaps I would never have spent time on women... If I couldn't raise the female gu or refine the Gu King, then whatever. The survival of the clan is the top priority."

"Love... Love, could it really be fate" That's what I find most puzzling.

It is said that only the first love is destined, and subsequent loves are no longer recorded in the Moon God's book.

"Why"

"Fate only comes once, the choice is up to the individual. Any karmic debts incurred afterward are for the underworld to settle."

Fate, huh… Could it be that even if I didn't leave the house, the outcome would still be meeting him at some other time and place, and then being with him, with him—

"Yin Luo," he reached out, his warm palm cupping my face: "The female Gu is unharmed with you. This is the best proof... For a hundred or a thousand years, countless women have died for the female Gu, but only you made it stay peacefully."

“So now you rely on me for everything, is it because of the Female Gu on me” I puffed out my cheeks and mumbled, “When I’m raised properly, I won’t be useful anymore. At that time, you can marry as many Water Spirit girls as you want, and I won’t be able to control it… Our environments and ways of thinking are just different.”

“Anything outside of one’s spouse is considered evil. Those who practice cultivation should understand this principle.” His tone was calm: “Master and Mu Xiaqiao didn't get along very well back then, but trust between the two can only be demonstrated through actions; words are always pale.”

I pondered for a moment, tilting my head, about my petite and beautiful little disciple: "My little disciple is so sweet and lovely now, she's practically overflowing with beauty."

He chuckled softly: "She can have a temper, but Master always manages to soothe her."

Sometimes I envy others, but I never know what kind of struggles and sacrifices they have experienced.

If you want a worldly wedding, perhaps I can't give it to you. After all, in this world, we are non-existent people. He frowned slightly.

But if you marry, the city of Wuzhuang Mountain will surely be adorned with ten miles of red decorations to welcome your new mistress. I would never mistreat my only wife.

My heart raced, is this a real proposal

He'd been waiting for years, but I've only known him for a short time.

A little man popped up in my head, shouting at me: "Substance, substance! Look at a man for his substance!"

Then another little man popped up: "You're asleep, what are you looking at! If you have the guts, push him away!"

Well, I...I can't do it.

I nuzzled into his arms and muttered with a fake air of indifference, “What’s so good about Wuzhi Mountain City There’s no Wi-Fi…the communication is inconvenient. To call home, you even have to leave the formation…”

He chuckled softly: "Aren't there enough books for you to read Study the Great Medical Dao diligently, cultivate your body and mind, isn't that how your little wife got by She has a way over there, it's very easy to reach home, I'll even open one up for you."

"Huh There's such an operation!" I widened my eyes in surprise.

He smirked: "Master has thought of everything to let his junior wife practice with peace of mind."

"Then I can just go home if I want to"

"Yes, but it will be more troublesome. After all, you are not like Mu Xiaoqiao. She has done good deeds for heaven and can travel between worlds."

"Hmm, no problem at all. As long as I can get home quickly when I want to!" I said excitedly, rubbing my hands together.

He raised his eyes, his gaze deep, a smile playing on his lips.

"Well, then, will you", I jumped down the celestial ladder for an hour!"The little boy stopped speaking suddenly, then a wicked grin spread across his face: "Hee hee hee... A whole hour, Your Majesty the Emperor and Your L...
