Watching the scene unfold, Elder Qingxue’s eyes filled with emotion. Ye Xuan actually didn’t forget to ask for a talisman for her too. Could it be that he didn’t hate her at all? After all, she was the reason he missed out on being with Jiang Ling’er...
“Young Master Ye, does that old Daoist really have any abilities? It looked like he was just muttering some nonsense; it didn’t seem useful at all,” the two guards asked Ye Xuan on their way back to Ye’s residence.
“Hehe, if you think it’s useless, that only proves that you don’t have the fate with immortality,” Ye Xuan confidently smiled.
“...”
Returning to his compound, Ye Xuan was about to enter his own room, but then he hesitated. “Damn it, I got annoyed last night and said such harsh words to her. She’s not still angry, is she?” Ye Xuan was conflicted as he walked in circles outside the door.
“He... he’s worried about me being angry?” Elder Qingxue looked incredulous. Ye Xuan had shown concern for her before, but now he was hesitant to enter his own house because he was worried about her being upset?
“That Ye Xuan must have fallen in love with Mo Qingxue. Otherwise, he wouldn’t care so much about her feelings,” Yu Ling’er analyzed seriously.
“That’s impossible!” Elder Qingxue exclaimed. “You have no idea how terrible his attitude towards me was.”
“Really?” Yu Ling’er asked. “Could there be some misunderstanding here too?”
“Ah, this...” If it had been earlier, Elder Qingxue would have been certain there was a misunderstanding.
But now, to be honest, she was hesitant because she had been metaphorically slapped in the face so many times that it truly hurt. So, she refrained from further comment and quietly watched the scene unfold.
“Hmph, this is my house, she’s my wife, why should I be afraid of her?” Finally, with a snort, Ye Xuan inhaled deeply and walked into the room.
Hearing someone entering, Mo Qingxue, who was distraught, looked towards the door to see Ye Xuan watching her. Startled, she immediately stood up, “Ye... Master Ye, you’re back...”
“Hehe, why so nervous?” Seeing her like this, Ye Xuan smiled and said, “You’re my wife, and this is my home. You don’t need to be so tense around me. Come here.”
“...” Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Mo Qingxue felt like crying without tears.
“Wife, I said some harsh words last night in anger, don’t take them to heart.” Saying this, Ye Xuan pulled Mo Qingxue into his embrace.
Confused, she didn’t understand why Ye Xuan was suddenly speaking such pleasant words to her.
“You must be wondering why I said those things to you last night.” Ye Xuan said to Mo Qingxue, “Actually...”
“Hahaha, I knew it, Ye Xuan has fallen in love with this girl Mo Qingxue. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have just beaten Mo Dazhuang,” a voice echoed in Ye Xuan’s ears. It was the fox spirit attached to Mo Qingxue’s womb, laughing smugly.
Ye Xuan frowned, his gaze shifting to Mo Qingxue’s belly. He saw a mass of black qi, within which was a coquettish woman with fox ears, laughing triumphantly.
“Actually, what?” Mo Qingxue waited anxiously for Ye Xuan’s explanation, momentarily forgetting that Ye Xuan had just beaten her brother.
“As long as Ye Xuan is good to Mo Qingxue, I can stay in her body and feed on her essence. This is much better than being outside!” The fox spirit gloated.
Listening to the fox spirit, Ye Xuan understood there was something amiss. His demeanor changed, and he coldly said to Mo Qingxue, “Actually, I never liked you, not even once. I just wanted to play with you.”
“Uh...” Mo Qingxue had been expecting an explanation from Ye Xuan, but instead, she heard even more heartless words. She stood frozen for a moment before nodding bitterly, “I understand.”
“What? Ye Xuan says he never liked Mo Qingxue?” The fox spirit was shocked. “It’s impossible, she’s so delicate and pretty, how could he not like her? And if he was only playing, why would he marry her and do so much for her family?”
“It must be that he still can’t get over that Jiang girl. No matter, once I create some signs of pregnancy... He will realize how important this young lady is to him.”
As the fox spirit rambled on, Ye Xuan listened intently. Meanwhile, Mo Qingxue suddenly felt nauseous and made a vomiting gesture but didn’t actually vomit.
“–!!!” Watching the scene unfold, Elder Qingxue clenched her teeth in anger. If that fox spirit were still alive, she would never let her off easily!
“How come?” Seeing Mo Qingxue’s reaction, Ye Xuan asked coldly, “Could it be that you’re pregnant?”
“Haha... Yes, she’s pregnant, and the child is yours,” the fox spirit inside Mo Qingxue’s womb said smugly.
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Mo Qingxue’s face turned red, and she looked up. But as soon as she saw Ye Xuan’s cold eyes, she felt hopeless again and shook her head, “I don’t know.”
“Hehe, you don’t know?” Ye Xuan said with a laugh, “Listen well, I am going to find a doctor to check, but if you really are pregnant, don’t be happy.”
“I won’t let that evil seed in your stomach be born. I haven’t had enough fun yet. How can I play if you’re pregnant now, huh?!!!” With a heartless expression, Ye Xuan turned and left.
“No–!!!” Mo Qingxue cried out in sorrow, “Master Ye, Master Ye, I beg you, please don’t do this–!!!” However, no matter how much she called out, Ye Xuan didn’t return.
“This can’t be right, strange...” The fox spirit inside Mo Qingxue was also puzzled, “Even ordinary people aren’t this cruel. Given all the good deeds Ye Xuan has done before, he couldn’t possibly be so thoroughly wicked. Even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs.”
“Hmph–!!!” Elder Qingxue couldn’t help but snort disdainfully at the unfolding scene. “See? That’s how he treated me. How could you say he loves me?!!” She addressed Yu Ling’er.
“Er...” Yu Ling’er was momentarily speechless, then pondered, “Elder Qingxue, is there a possibility... I mean, could it be that Ye Xuan acted this way on purpose, to deceive the fox spirit in your womb?”
“Impossible, absolutely impossible!” Elder Qingxue retorted, “Ye Xuan is just an ordinary person. He couldn’t possibly hear what the fox spirit said!”
“But I remember that old Daoist gave me a protective talisman,” Ye Xuan suddenly interjected.
Elder Qingxue stiffened, then shook her head, “Even so, it’s impossible. What skills does that old Daoist have to create such a talisman that allows ordinary people to detect demons and spirits?! Ye Xuan simply doesn’t like me... I’ve understood this long ago!”
“That makes sense...” Yu Ling’er concurred. “That old Daoist looked capable of dealing with only minor demons. I can hardly believe he could create such a powerful talisman.”
They continued their conversation.
