CHAPTER 235: 0160 YOUNG LADIES SHOULD BE RESERVED

Cloudy days are meant for rain, this is Miss Yun’s rule.

So, Chaoyun Sect had rain once again. The darkened sky veiled today’s extraordinarily eerie Great Sun, bringing some comfort to people.

But who knows, the clouds that suddenly blocked the "Great Sun" also brought much comfort to the "Great Sun" itself.

As long as Miss Yun cannot see it and its light cannot reach her, it can silently hide its presence... that would be best.

Seeing the sudden rainfall, the cultivators on Chaoyun Sect are no longer surprised. Ever since they learned that this rain is mysterious in nature and cannot be blocked by True Yuan barriers or any other means, they have started carrying umbrellas when going outside.

When it rains, the Immortal Sect is filled with the crisp "pitter-patter" of rain hitting the umbrellas.

——

By the spring.

Shi Qingjun’s red dress was semi-translucent as she bathed in the spring, feeling the rainwater on her body. She glanced in the direction of the Sword Hall on Muyu Peak and shook her head.

This rain, completely beyond the comprehension of mortals, was accepted by those in Chaoyun Sect, and... undoubtedly, she would again be blamed for it.

After all, if it was her as the Sect Leader, any bizarre sight she created, even rain that forces the Sect Leaders to carry umbrellas, would be justified.

"Forget it."

Shi Qingjun gently stirred the water’s surface, watching ripples spread, a trace of helplessness added to her beautiful face.

What does an Immortal Reincarnation seek?

She couldn’t help but glance into the courtyard earlier. Seeing Xu Chang’an holding Yun Qian’s hand, she looked away.

"Tsk, young couple."

Ever since forming a good relationship with Xu Chang’an, Shi Qingjun occasionally observes him without overstepping propriety, and so far, it seems every time it rains, Xu Chang’an is with Yun Qian... closely?

They were when they went up the mountain.

They were also when boating.

Shaking her head, Shi Qingjun thought she had regained her Dao Heart, yet she was still having wild thoughts.

Standing up from the spring, she casually put on a coat, drenched in the rain from the sky as she returned to her house, took out a jade scroll, and began drafting Sword Testing Spring matters.

——

In the Sword Hall, raindrops continuously hit the eaves, creating a dense sound as the rain curtain fell like a waterfall near the Spine-devouring Beast.

Water splashed on the ground, with rainwater swiftly flowing with the wind, blowing the flowers and grass into disarray. Only the wooden stakes stood firmly in the rain.

The sword marks on the wooden stakes remained unchanged despite the wind and rain, perfectly preserving the force and energy Xu Chang’an wielded when swinging his sword.

In this world, everything experiences wear, including the Heavenly Dao and human ethics, even Xu Chang’an himself.

However, everything he left behind belonged to Miss Yun, which was also a rule.

Perhaps one day, when she can no longer see her husband, there will still be items to give her comfort.

But as of now, Miss Yun doesn’t need to care too much about inanimate objects because she is... happy.

The rain was heavy, the sound loud, as if concealing the movements in the room. Inside Xu Chang’an’s small abode, it was silent, the flickering flame of an old oil lamp illuminating the bamboo bed like silk and scrolls.

At this moment, Yun Qian leaned into Xu Chang’an’s embrace, her face tinted with a touch of lasting redness, evidently some whispers were still drowned out by the rain’s sound outside.

The pair of golden earrings that should have been on her ears were already taken off and placed aside.

Most of the time, Xu Chang’an is protective over Yun Qian, reluctant to do anything to her, so... when he’s occasionally proactive, Yun Qian becomes very happy.

From that time, Xu Chang’an decided he needed to be proactive, not always letting Miss Yun, a lady, make requests.

It’s like a husband occasionally whispers sweet nothings to his wife, taking the initiative, which is also a responsibility.

Today, Yun Qian dressed so beautifully for him, if as her husband he couldn’t provide corresponding security, then he would be quite undeserving.

"..."

Xu Chang’an wrapped his arms around Yun Qian’s waist, leaning close to say something.

"Don’t... don’t call me that anymore." Yun Qian’s expression was calm, but her tone carried a bit of urgency.

"Isn’t that what you want, miss? Why do you not want to hear it after a few times?" Xu Chang’an curled his lips, looking at the composed Miss Yun, thinking she also has moments of shyness.

"It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just a bit strange, since it’s not yet night, and your teacher is also here." Yun Qian’s heartbeat was fast, but she held Xu Chang’an’s hand on her lower abdomen, earnestly saying, "When we return home and after drinking, you can call me that."

It’s not that she indulges in pleasure, it’s just that her lower abdomen is for the child, having a child early will make her not care so much about Spiritual Qi anymore.

"..." Xu Chang’an was taken aback, then covered his face.

Although Yun Qian didn’t say anything, it felt like she’d said everything.

She’s really thinking about having a child.

Oh Yun girl.

He genuinely didn’t know what to say.

But it’s indeed true; although Yun Qian’s attire stirred his heart greatly, this was still outside, the teacher was just beside them, and with such respect for Yun Qian, he did nothing but call her "lady" a few times, as she wished.

"Does it still hurt?"

"A little bit."

Xu Chang’an gently rubbed Yun Qian’s slightly reddened earlobe, expressing concern: "If it hurts, don’t wear earrings, even this kind of jewelry used by the Immortal Sect’s girls cannot be tolerated by you, miss."

"...I’ll find some lightweight clips next time." Yun Qian said.

Xu Chang’an was a bit helpless because Yun Qian evidently did not give up the idea of wearing earrings. But he couldn’t blame Yun Qian because Xu Chang’an knew it was his own preference that Yun Qian had discovered.

But... how could he not like Yun Qian wearing gemstone earrings? That kind of liking coming from deep within the soul isn’t something he can hide.

"Once miss can cultivate, mere clips will be no problem for you." Xu Chang’an smiled.

"Perhaps."

When Xu Chang’an mentioned cultivation, the smart Yun Qian immediately understood, and she softly said, "Are you saying you want to go see your teacher?"

"Since I’m back, and though you say the teacher has given us some time, I can’t keep not seeing her, right?" Xu Chang’an shook his head: "I still have to think about miss’s cultivation."

He was soothing Yun Qian’s feelings at the moment, but proper matters still needed attention.

There was one more thing.

He really wanted to know what happened between Miss Yun and the teacher that made her get all dolled up.

Curiosity aside, he didn’t directly ask Yun Qian because knowing Miss Yun’s nature, nine out of ten she’d say something he wouldn’t understand, so better to ask the teacher directly.

"Speaking of which, once the cultivation matters are settled, we can return to Celestial Bright Peak sooner." Xu Chang’an looked at Yun Qian’s enchanting makeup and coughed softly.

Yun Qian blinked, feeling the warmth of Xu Chang’an’s hand: "Are you saying once the issue is resolved, we can return home to intimacy?"

"Miss, be reserved."
