Chapter 18: I See You

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After one night, the temperature in North Mulberry City dropped another level.

It seemed to be winter, so a cold current came.

When Xu Chang’an opened his eyes, he felt that someone had grabbed his waist and tied him up. As expected, the only person who treated him as a pillow was his Miss Yun.

Xu Chang’an thought about what happened last night and sighed softly.

Self-reflection time.

Xu Chang’an really wanted to stand in front of the mirror and scold himself. “Someone like you will only cost more if you stay in this world.”

He felt that his restraint was strong, but…

God knew what he did when Yun Qian whispered in his ear yesterday that she wanted a child.

Xu Chang’an carefully untied Yun Qian’s long hair that was wrapped around his arm and stared at his wife, who was still sleeping.

Yun Qian was wearing black and white embroidered pajamas, which undoubtedly accentuated her noble aura. There were blooming red plums embroidered on her clothes. They were complicated and passionate, making people feel warm. However, Yun Qian’s hair was messy, making her look more mature.

Last night, they only fell asleep after showering, so Xu Chang’an could smell the faint fragrance of soap on each other.

His wife usually looked cold. Even when she was asleep… she was still frowning. It was unknown what she was worried about.

Perhaps it was more exhaustion.

Her stamina was very poor, so bad that she needed to catch her breath and rest after walking for two miles. Xu Chang’an did not know if cultivation could quickly improve Yun Qian’s physique, but according to his own experience, after cultivating for a week, her stamina would clearly improve.

There was something else.

He had completed the emergency mission issued by the system very well. It said that it would reward him with an item update in the mall.

Then, there was still no movement. He did not know how long it would take to update.

There had been no movement, causing Xu Chang’an to suspect that the items from before were all the system’s inventory.

It could only be said that because the mission was too simple, he was basically not dissatisfied with the delay in the reward.

‘I’ll just have to be patient. I don’t know when the update will be ready.’

It was raining outside, so it was still dark.

“It’s getting late.” Xu Chang’an thought about how he still had to go up the mountain today. He planned to let Yun Qian sleep for a while longer while he packed his things at home. When Yun Qian woke up, they would go to Chaoyun together.

The husband and wife shared the same bed and used the same mattress, so as soon as Xu Chang’an entered, Yun Qian’s eyelashes trembled and she slowly opened her eyes.

Although she didn’t say anything, Xu Chang’an could still feel Yun Qian’s dissatisfaction.

“Miss, we should leave…”

“Lie down.”

“It’s getting late.”

“Lie down.”

At this moment, although Yun Qian’s lips were dry and she looked weak, Xu Chang’an still felt a chill down his spine and surrendered to Miss Yun Qian’s dignity.

He could only lie down again, and then Yun Qian hugged his arm again.

Xu Chang’an sighed softly.

He had been raised by Yun Qian as a pillow.

It was fine if it was just for a day or two, but it was like this every day… How could his respect for Yun Qian not change?

It seemed that it was difficult to fall asleep after being woken up, so Yun Qian did not fall asleep. She only looked at Xu Chang’an’s face.

“Miss… what’s wrong?” Xu Chang’an felt the slightly chaotic heartbeat close by and was puzzled.

In the past, Yun Qian would not stay in bed, nor would she not wake up at this time.

“Cold,” Yun Qian said simply.

As Yun Qian spoke, there was a thunderclap outside the window. Another heavy rain fell, washing the window frame on one side.

“It’s about time for it to rain.” Xu Chang’an shook his head and said seriously, “Get up.”

Yun Qian stared at Xu Chang’an with her watery eyes.

“There’s no use looking at me like that.”

The corners of Xu Chang’an’s mouth curled up, and his tone faltered. He joked, “Miss, don’t use your beauty to stop me from pursuing the truth of the world and the Great Dao of Impermanence.”

No matter how warm and beautiful Yun Qian was, he would still prioritize business.

“What do you want to pursue?” Yun Qian looked at him and narrowed her eyes.

Xu Chang’an inexplicably thought of his system. Wasn’t the so-called truth of the world and the Great Dao of Impermanence the word “Heavenly Dao”?

He gently patted Yun Qian’s hand and said helplessly, “It’s useless to chase after anything. We really should get up.”

“I want to lie down for a while,” Yun Qian said.

“Aren’t you hungry?” Xu Changan thought that Yun Qian was tired, so she would definitely be hungry.

At the mention of this, Yun Qian frowned and said, “I’m hungry.”

“I’ll go make breakfast. You can lie down alone for a while, right?” Xu Chang’an said.

“Go.” Yun Qian let go of Xu Chang’an’s hand and let him out of the blanket.

After Xu Chang’an got out of bed, he suddenly felt that he had lost to Yun Qian. He smiled bitterly and thought that he had brought this upon himself.

Yun Qian stuck out half her head and said calmly, “It’s cold. Go light the brazier.”

“I’ll go now. Oh right… Are we eating wontons this morning?” Xu Chang’an put on his clothes and turned around.

“I’ll listen to you.” Yun Qian nodded.

“Okay.” Xu Changan took the brazier and placed it in a safe place. Then, he went to the kitchen, lit the lamp, and began to prepare breakfast.

After Xu Chang’an left, Yun Qian slowly sat up. She placed her fingers on her abdomen and looked calm.

Children were indeed difficult.

“Why don’t I just make one? It’s like making a wonton.”

It didn’t take long.

After Xu Chang’an was done, he was about to wake Yun Qian up when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

He used his spiritual power to cover the rain in the sky and walked over to push open the door. He saw Gu Qiancheng standing in front of his house with a small red umbrella and a washed steamer in his hand.

The teenage girl looked quite cute.

Xu Chang’an blinked.

Speaking of which, they were all cultivators… Why did they use umbrellas?

Gu Qiancheng looked at Xu Chang’an’s strange gaze and immediately said, “If you rely on spiritual power for everything, life will be much less fun.”

The joys of life?

Xu Chang’an indeed had the temperament of a child. This kind of thought was the same as that of Manager Zhu, who was a nanny in a brothel.

“Morning?” Xu Chang’an looked at his little neighbor.

“Morning.” Gu Qiancheng handed the steamer over and said, “This is for you.”

“Okay.” Xu Chang’an took the steamer and noticed that Gu Qiancheng’s gaze was fixed on it. He looked over and realized that she was looking at his kitchen. The smoke from the cooking pot was exceptionally obvious in the rain.

Xu Chang’an’s eyes twitched.

Could this girl be addicted to freeloading?

Oh, she had given him money, so it couldn’t be considered freeloading.

“You…”

“I don’t eat breakfast.”

Before Xu Changan could say anything, Gu Qiancheng interrupted him.

Did the little girl confess her craving for the food?

The little girl also realized that she had slipped up, but she pretended that nothing had happened. She untied a small cloth bag from her waist and said, “This is what Zhu Pingniang asked me to give you. She said that you left in a hurry earlier and she forgot.”

… .

While Xu Chang’an was talking to Gu Qiancheng, Yun Qian gently lifted a corner of the curtains in the room and looked over quietly while it was raining.
