Chapter 844: Nightfall

Perhaps because he knew he had official duties, no one poured him wine tonight's banquet to make fun of him. When the night was a little deeper, Ye Zhuofan took the initiative to help his mother find an excuse to coax the three girls away. Aying also rubbed her half-drunk and half-awake eyes and said goodbye to the three of them. Xiao Yibai looked at the messy backyard with a frown, grabbed his head and complained a few times, and then said: "It's too late, don't clean up. I'll find someone to come and clean it up tomorrow. You two should go to bed quickly."

Yun Xiao did not drink, but after taking Jiusuihe, the fire seed was accelerating the recovery of the wound. The huge physical exhaustion made her feel that her body, which had not had a good rest for more than a month, was shaking and falling to the ground at any time. Xiao Qianye carried her back to the room and put it on the bed and covered it with a quilt. He saw her sleeping deeply. He habitually touched Yun Xiao's forehead, confirmed that the body temperature was normal before he breathed a sigh of relief, and gently brushed her cheeks and stared at her for a long time, and then prepared to leave.

As soon as he stood up, he stretched out a hand from the quilt and grabbed his arm accurately. Yun Xiao glared at him angrily, and he sat back to the bed in embarrassment, holding his smile and asked, "Are you pretending to be sleeping and lying to me?"

"Hmph." Yun Xiao let out a cold snorted unwillingly, turned over and covered half of his face and muttered unhappily, "I wanted to see if you would say some sweet words while I was asleep, but you were leaving without saying a word!"

He forced her to pull the quilt and let her show her face, and explained with a smile: "You can finally fall asleep, how dare I make a sound to wake you up? My junior sister got up so angry that she would kick someone when she annoyed her."

Yun Xiao pursed his lips, grabbed his arm and refused to let him go, and said aggrievedly: "You are very busy every day when you come back this time. You go out early in the morning and have to go home very late. Have you been working so hard since you came back from Kunlun Mountain?"

He paused for a while. Although the days of patrolling the four major realms were busy and complicated, he lived a fulfilling life every day. With his special physical fitness, he did not feel obvious about fatigue. He was happy and didn't think anything was there. It was not until today when Yun Xiao asked about it that he thought it seriously for a while, and smiled and replied: "It's not very hard either. There was a Tianzheng Bird before, just sit on its back and walk around."

"A liar." Yun Xiao retorted without hesitation for a second, "I was in Kunlun Mountain in those years. Although I heard Zhuo Fan talk about you, I never knew that Feiyuan was such a dangerous place. If I had known these things, even if my mother and master objected, I would definitely come to you..."

When talking about Jiang Qing and Yun Qiushui, Yun Xiao choked and wiped his eyes, muttering in a daze: "Master and mother are gone, I can live for a long time, sooner or later, one day, senior brothers and sisters, and everyone around me will leave."

Xiao Qianye didn't know what to say. Yun Xiao seemed a little lost tonight, and the tone of talking to him was also a faint sense of anxiety. She sat up, suddenly reached out and touched his hair, and gently pulled a tightly held it in the palm of her hand. Since the two-life technique was eliminated, the other party's inexplicable pale hair color became a knife hanging in her heart, which always made her feel extremely uneasy, but she still held back all the questions and forced herself to show a gentle smile, asking word by word: "You won't leave me, are you?"

He did not answer or nodded, and in an instant he hurriedly avoided the bright gaze. The disadvantages of the time-condensing technique were becoming more and more obvious in him. He did not dare to make any promises to her. She had seen such a silence countless times, but in the end she would smile and take the initiative to comfort her: "I have been waiting for you. The first time I waited for you in Kunlun Mountain for eight years, but you have not come back. The second time in Qianji Palace, you asked me to wait for you, but you have not come back, but... But no matter how many times you break your promise, I will continue to wait for you. If you don't come back, then I will go to find you. How long and how far I will find you."

He tried his best to control his heartbeat and didn't want his emotions to be noticed by her. He hugged the woman in his arms and asked restlessly: "A Xiao, do you feel lonely? I rarely accompany you these days."

Yun Xiao complained and hit him, giggling and joked: "There is one thing. You always have to let me lie down if you don't let me go out. I'm almost twenty thousand years old. This old waist can't stand lying down."

He was finally amused and shook his head helplessly and continued: "When this matter is over, we will leave Feiyuan, Jiangnan... Otherwise, if you go to Jiangnan for a walk, don't you always clamor for fun when you were a child? Or go to Mobei and I will teach you how to ride a horse."

"Don't you quit?" Yun Xiao looked at him seriously and refused seriously, "How can you support me if you don't work hard to make money!"

"How difficult can you raise?" He slapped Yun Xiao on the forehead and cursed, "Don't worry, you won't be hungry."

Yun Xiao smiled secretly, not knowing what happened, suddenly turned red when she remembered her cheeks. She stammered for a long time without saying a complete sentence. Xiao Qianye touched her cheek and joked, "You are not hungry, are you? You haven't eaten a few bites of it at night. It seems that you really don't like fish. You love sweets. Peach Sauce is much cheaper than white flame fish. When I come back tomorrow, I'll buy you some taels of silver. It's been a long time since you've been supporting you."

"I'm talking to Mrs. Mingqi." Yun Xiao murmured in a low voice, holding his hand tightly and loosening it, and then clenched it harder. She mustered up the courage to raise her head and want to say something. She happened to see Xiao Qianye's eyes staring at her tightly. There was a hint of unexplained sadness floating in her pupils, as if she had hidden something that could not be touched, which made her lower her head as if she was electrocuted in an instant and swallowed all the things she wanted to say.

"What did Madam tell you?" As if seeing her loss, Xiao Qianye took the initiative to ask. Although Madam Ming Qi is an elder, the two women gathered together and whispered, they couldn't even get a word. They just looked at Madam very happy. As she said, she would clap her hands and show a crisp smile like an innocent child. A chill suddenly appeared behind Yun Xiao, and she was weird. She twisted for a while before turning her eyes to look at him, and said in a low tone: "Madam said she always treats us as her children, she, she... wants to hold her grandson."

"Uh..." His hand stopped in the air so stiffly, and smiled bitterly without any warning. Yun Xiao looked at the subtle changes in his expression on his face. Instead, he felt a little panic. He couldn't help but lower his head again and said softly, "I also want to have a child, and... your child."

He looked at Yun Xiao quietly, knowing that he could not avoid her earnest gaze at this time. He looked at her eyes with a hint of expectation. For so long, he had been trying to avoid this problem. Yun Xiao was no longer a divine bird that did not understand emotions. She was a woman who was truly alive as a human. She had the same feelings and desires as humans, but she did not have the free body and bloodline of humans. That year, she was pregnant for the first time. She was so happy and happy, as if all the pain in her body no longer existed. She was like a human girl, looking forward to the arrival of the cute child in her belly.

But reality is always cruel. When he took the pill from Di Zhong, regardless of her crying and begging, he forced his chin to open his mouth and poured it into his mouth. The nightmare scene often popped up inadvertently, which made him sweat in a cold sweat every time.

From that day on, he was ready to never have children in this life and she would never have any more children.

Like an ordinary wife, she prepares his clothes for him in the morning, and waits for him to come home at night, and will happily gather around him about the small things that happened. She lives a little bit by bit, making the empty and dead Tianzheng Mansion lively for many years. He knows that Yun Xiao's yearning for normal people is also deepening, but he cannot give her any false fantasies with any ambiguous words. He will never experience such a heart-wrenching picture.

An unidentified look on Yun Xiao's face seemed to have passed by, and she began to unable to control her emotions and raised her head slightly. She remembered many things in an instant, especially the expectation of being a mother, which made her unable to help but grab Xiao Qianye's hand and repeatedly muttered: "My fire has begun to recover and will be healed soon. I am not the person who was burned to death by myself at any time. I am a descendant of the Imperial Bird. Maybe this time, I can protect it..."

For a long time, Xiao Qianye still hugged her gently. Although his voice was very gentle, he felt a sense of indescribable determination and said seriously: "A Xiao, I have a regret for my whole life. My parents, wife and children are the only ones... You are the only one who comes back and gives me a chance to make up for it, so I can't promise you, I can't hurt you."

She trembled, and a little sour appeared in her eyes. She pressed against his chest without replying. She heard his voice sounding in her ears like a dream: "A Xiao, before I can't protect you mother and son, I cannot promise you rashly. I must not only be responsible for you, but also for our children. I don't want you to bear the unresolvable blood burden at the same time, but I can only be helpless by the side."

He felt the hot tears in his chest soaking his cold body, as if there was a kind of pain of moving alone in the long dark night. No one could understand the deep pain he hid, but he quietly closed his eyes and hugged the person who was crying more and more violently in his arms. He did not comfort her, but just gave the only promise in his heart very firmly: "But I promise you that I will definitely find a way to get rid of your bloodline. Even if I can't find it, I will only love you alone."

She suddenly raised her head and stared at him with wide eyes, then slowly lowered her eyelids and burst into tears in his arms. She could not stop her tears from falling down, and then raised her hand angrily and hit him hard, cursing: "Idiot!"

A faint melancholy ripped on the corner of Xiao Qianye's lips, and he murmured to himself: "If I can give you happiness, I'm willing to be a fool."

But his heart was aching, happiness... I don't know how long the happiness of hugging her tightly can last, but he couldn't bear to leave for a second.
