Misty Rain of the Old Times

Unbeknownst to him, Chen Xuan had traveled over a hundred miles underwater to catch food. After parting ways with Yang Yi, he almost couldn't find his way back and had to run high into the air to find his way. By the time he returned to the beach, the sun had already set and night had fallen.

He plunged into the sea and disappeared without a trace. Even though the little princess and the others had great confidence in him, they couldn't help but worry. They only breathed a sigh of relief when he returned safely.

"My dear husband, you're still such a child. Playing is fine, but don't go too far and make us worry," the little princess couldn't help but complain when she saw him return safely.

"It was indeed my fault," Chen Xuan said, shrinking back. "I'm fine, my wife. Don't worry, I'll be more careful next time."

"You, you'll probably do it again next time," the little princess said, speechless and mercilessly exposing him. The two of them shared a bed, and she knew her husband's personality all too well. If he were well-behaved, he wouldn't be him.

At this time, you can't argue with your wife, otherwise you might get pinched. That's a natural skill that girls have. Although it won't hurt Chen Xuan, it will still hurt. You can't just tense up and fight back, what if you hurt your wife?
So he decisively changed the subject, making a hole in the sand and placing the large water balloon containing the food he had brought back into it, saying, "Sister Juan, Roujia, Xiaolan, Xiaoxin, we're having seafood for today. Please cook it for us. I've picked the biggest ones, they're super fresh, eat your fill."

Seeing the various kinds of seafood jumping around in the puddle, the little girl said happily, "Okay, sir, please rest and have a cup of tea. We'll be done soon. Remember when we ate seafood last time we went to Wanku Mountain?"

As she served the tea, she rolled up her sleeves and got busy with Du Juan and the others.

Chen Xuan, who had just sat down and taken a sip of fragrant tea, corrected her, "Roujia, you're mistaken. The last time we ate seafood was in the capital. Did you forget that I brought a lot back with me? Father-in-law ate with us then."

"Oh right, I wonder how His Majesty is doing lately," the little girl said, recalling the past. Having spent so much time with the old man, she felt he was like the old grandfather next door, and she missed him dearly.

With his legs crossed, Chen Xuan curled his lip and said, "I wonder where Old Deng is having a good time right now."

"Husband, can't you be more proper? Don't let Roujia corrupt you," the little princess said, giving him a light tap with her fist.

With a dry cough, Chen Xuan magically produced a fist-sized purple pearl. Under the campfire's glow, its surface seemed to shimmer and shimmer. He handed it over, saying, "My wife, look. This is a pearl I just collected in the deep sea. I've never seen one this big before. What do you think? Do you like it?"

The little princess's eyes were immediately drawn to it. Jewelry has a natural attraction for girls, and she was no exception. She happily accepted the jewelry with both hands and said, "It's so beautiful! I love it! Thank you, my husband. It must have been quite a journey for you. Please be careful."

She wasn't unfamiliar with good things, but this was truly the first time she had ever seen such a purple pearl. Of course, Chen Xuan's sentiment was the most important thing; otherwise, it would just be a useless stone to her. That said, this thing could be priceless if it met the right person.

This pearl, collected from thousands of meters deep in the sea, is something that countless professional pearl divers who roam the coast have never seen before, but for Chen Xuan, it is simply within easy reach.

"If my wife likes it, I'll get you another basketful when I have time," Chen Xuan said casually.

Rolling her eyes at him, the little princess held the pearl in both hands, examining it speechlessly, and said, "Pearls like these are already incredibly rare. How can you be greedy? There are so many good things in the world; are you going to hoard them all? It's precisely because they're rare that they're precious."

“My wife is right,” Chen Xuan said, agreeing wholeheartedly.

Noticing the envious glances from Du Juan and Yun Lan, Chen Xuan waved his hand, and a pile of pearls fell onto the table from his sleeve. Reflecting a dazzling array of colors in the campfire light, he laughed, "We have them all, but they're not as big as the ones Madam has. You can choose your favorites later."

The smallest of those pearls was the size of a finger, while the largest was the size of a walnut. They were also different colors, making it quite dazzling. There were over a hundred of them, and I wonder how much they would be worth if sold.

"And there are ours too, sir, please keep them. We don't need them." The somewhat tempted maid shook her head, looked away, and continued her work.

Chen Xuan waved his hand dismissively, saying, "It's alright, we're all family, no need to be so polite. It's all free, you can't eat it anyway. You can share it later, don't refuse, or I'll just throw it away."

"If Master tells you to accept it, then accept it," the little princess also advised.

So they stopped delaying and thanked them with smiles on their faces. It wasn't that they coveted the pearls, but rather that the joyful atmosphere of the gathering warmed their hearts.

As night fell, the bonfire flickered on the beach, and the bright moon rose over the sea. They enjoyed a delicious seafood feast. The ingredients were already fresh and exceptionally delicious, and with the help of the young girls' cooking, it was truly mouthwatering. They ate with great pleasure and even opened a jar of fine wine.

The little princess and the others had small appetites and only took a few sips. Most of the alcohol ended up in Chen Xuan's stomach. They didn't try to get rid of the smell of alcohol, and ended up slightly tipsy. The little princess shouldn't drink alcohol now, but Du Juan and the others drank a few cups with him.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content and enjoying the night breeze for a while, the little princess said she felt tightness in her chest and went back to the boat to rest.

With nothing particularly fun to do, Chen Xuan said goodbye and returned to the boat to rest after finishing packing.

However, when he pushed open the door, he was stunned for a moment. His slightly tipsy mind cleared up, and he realized that he hadn't gone to the wrong place.

The room where he and the little princess had been resting was now empty of the little princess. It had been decorated with festive decorations, with red silk hanging everywhere and a table of food and wine laid out. Two dragon and phoenix candles burned quietly, their flames flickering. On the bed sat a beautiful figure dressed in a red wedding gown, her head covered with a red veil.

Having spent so much time together, Chen Xuan could hardly recognize that the person sitting on the bed was Du Juan, who had long entrusted her body and soul to him. However, at this moment, she appeared extremely nervous and uneasy, and the fingers gripping the sleeve of her wedding dress were slightly white.

The surroundings were silent; everyone had gone back to their rooms, with only the gentle sound of the waves lapping against the shore.

In an instant, Chen Xuan realized that this was definitely something his wife had arranged on purpose after he went into the sea. He also realized why Du Juan had been drinking with him earlier, her eyes darting around and avoiding his gaze.

As for why this arrangement was made, it must be because his wife was pregnant and it was inconvenient for them to have sex. He was worried that he would get too pent up, and since he was hesitant to make a move on the person next to him, he simply decided to "act first and ask questions later".

Chen Xuan paused at the door for a moment, then, understanding the situation, stepped inside and closed the door behind him.

If he were to leave at this moment, even if he were a typical straight man, he would know that it would hurt Du Juan's feelings. Even if he went to ask the little princess, she would chase him away.

When Chen Xuan pushed open the door, Du Juan, who was covered by a veil, felt a sudden tightness in her heart. Especially when he paused there for a moment, she felt as if an eternity had passed, her heart sank and she felt a pang of sadness. Her face turned pale. But as he stepped in, her heart, which had sank, suddenly rose and jumped hard. Every step he took felt like stepping on the tip of her heart.

Approaching her, listening to her rapid heartbeat and breathing, Chen Xuan picked up the jade ruyi he had prepared beforehand and lifted the red veil, revealing a beautifully made-up face, as lovely as a flower, her gaze lingering, yet somewhat bewildered.

It's been almost ten years since Chen Xuan and she met. However, Du Juan didn't know of Chen Xuan's existence during those years in Mo City. Now, her appearance hasn't changed at all. In fact, because her cultivation has reached the Innate Realm, and she has become even younger and more beautiful after taking the beauty pills refined by Chen Xuan, she looks like an eighteen-year-old girl with fair and delicate skin, an oval face, and phoenix eyes. Her years as an assassin have given her a cold temperament that makes people want to conquer and bully her. She has a slightly plump and rounded figure with a firm and full chest and a slender waist. She has a perfect figure.

Their eyes met, and Du Juan's cheeks burned, her body went weak, and she avoided his gaze. Seeing her hesitant, almost suffocatingly nervous expression, Chen Xuan reached out and pinched her cheek, then rubbed his hands together and said, "Sister Juan, we're too familiar. Suddenly it's like we're getting married; I'd be too embarrassed to pull down your pants."

Du Juan, whose heart was already pounding in her throat, felt all her nervousness vanish upon hearing his sudden remark. She lowered her head in embarrassment, wishing she could bury it in her firm chest, and said in a soft, barely audible voice, "I beg your mercy, sir."

"I'm not exactly a gentleman. I've been lusting after Sister Juan for a long time. I was just too embarrassed to make a move before. But from now on, you're mine. Aren't you afraid of being bullied by me?" Chen Xuan lifted her chin and pretended to scare her.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and Du Juan pursed her red lips shyly, saying, "I am already yours, Master. You can do whatever you want with me."

The lighthearted banter eased her tension slightly, and Chen Xuan took her hand, saying, "It's time to drink the nuptial wine."

"Mmm," Du Juan said, letting him lead her to the table.

Two cups of wine, two people, arms crossed, eyes locked, they drank, and from then on, they met like a golden breeze and jade dew.

Setting down his wine glass, Chen Xuan raised his hand and waved, causing a strand of hair from each of their hairs to fall, weaving into a ring in the air. He then personally placed it on her wrist, saying, "Sister Juan, you're now firmly bound to me, aren't you?"

"Hmm," Du Juan's heart trembled, and her beautiful eyes welled up with tears.

At this point, saying anything would be superfluous. Chen Xuan immediately took action, lifting her up by the waist and carrying her to the red bed. Amidst Du Juan's subconscious exclamation, his true essence silently spread out, isolating all sounds from the inside and outside.

Separated by a wall, the little princess covered her mouth and chuckled to herself, thinking that her husband was just as good, having the desire and the courage, but not taking any action. She had to give him a push. Luckily, he didn't run away at the last minute, otherwise, he would have hurt Dujuan's heart so much. However, given her husband's personality, such a hasty move would always leave Dujuan feeling indebted. She would have to make it up to him in the future. For example, the children she gave birth to would still be her children, unlike other families where the children would have to call her "mother".

Thinking of all this, and noticing that Yunlan and Yunxin on the small bed next to her were still awake, the little princess said, "Lan'er and Xin'er, don't worry. Dujuan has been with Master for so long, there has to be a proper order. I will make arrangements for you later. If Master keeps dragging this out, when will you be able to produce offspring for our Chen family?"

"Thank you, Your Highness. I will leave it to you," Yunlan and Yunxin said softly, shy yet expectant, burying their heads in the blankets.

"Then you... hehe, you'll be so happy," the little princess smiled, touched her still-not-so-spotted belly, and closed her eyes to sleep...

The next morning, just as dawn broke, Du Juan woke up from Chen Xuan's embrace with her eyelashes fluttering. Still feeling weak from her first sexual experience, she frowned slightly at the discomfort in her body, but she was happy and sweet, finally able to serve her master wholeheartedly as she had wished.

She felt a little greedy for Chen Xuan's embrace, but noticing the dim light outside the window, she quietly circulated her inner energy to relieve her discomfort and got up gently.

No sooner had she made that move than Chen Xuan wrapped his arms around her soft waist and whispered in her ear, "It's not even dawn yet, Sister Juan, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Leaning against him, Dujuan, though reluctant, insisted, "Master, it's getting late. We need to get ready to serve tea to Madam."

“We don’t care about these things, it’s okay to be a little late,” Chen Xuan shook his head.

After hesitating for a moment, Du Juan nodded and said, "Well, then lie down for a while longer, but not too long, otherwise it would be against the rules." As she spoke, she sensed something unusual, her heart pounding and her face flushing as she asked, "Does Master want more?"

"Uh, it's just a natural reaction, Sister Juan, don't overthink it," Chen Xuan said, slightly embarrassed.

Du Juan pursed her lips and said, "Master, I know you pity me, but I'm alright, I'm fine now."

After all, she possessed innate cultivation, unlike the little princess who needed a day or two to recover.

Chen Xuan's heart skipped a beat. He was not one to remain unmoved by temptation, so he paid no heed to such words. Knowing his limits, he turned over and started fussing again.

The two didn't get up until the sun rose outside the window. Du Juan, as expected of a martial artist at the Innate Realm, moved around as usual without showing any abnormality, only becoming more radiant and charming.

After helping Chen Xuan change her clothes, she carefully cut up and put away the bed sheet stained with blood.

After practicing the usual calming and health-preserving exercises in the room, I opened the door and found that the little girl and Yunlan had already prepared toiletries and were waiting for me.

Everyone knew what had happened, and no one laughed at Du Juan; instead, they were filled with envy, immediately saying, "Congratulations, sir! Congratulations, Sister Juan!"

Du Juan blushed and avoided his gaze, saying, "Yes, I'm sorry you had to see this."

"We're so happy for Sister Juan!" As she spoke, the maids filed in to help her with her makeup, especially Yunlan and Yunxin, who wondered when it would be their turn. The madam had said she would make arrangements, so it shouldn't be long now.

After washing up, the group went downstairs. The little princess was already waiting for dinner on the deck. She looked at Chen Xuan with a teasing expression that was half-smile, making him feel quite embarrassed.

A young maidservant brought over a tray of tea, which Dujuan accepted. She gracefully bowed to the little princess and said, "Madam, please have some tea."

The little princess took the tea, took a sip, nodded, and said, "Yes, from now on you should call me 'sister'."

Regardless of the family atmosphere, the necessary procedures still need to be followed.

Du Juan immediately and earnestly replied, "Younger sister greets older sister."

"Little sister, get up quickly. From now on, we're family. Serve the master well and try to have children soon," the little princess said, getting up and taking her hand to encourage her.

Du Juan could only blush and lower her head to hum in agreement.

The little princess has gone to great lengths to ensure that the family can have a large family as soon as possible. As Chen Xuan's wife, if she doesn't have any elders or brothers to help her, who will?
After a pleasant breakfast, the ship set sail again, heading north along the coastline. Chen Xuan planned to visit Shui Yuanjiao, a grandmaster of the Rong Kingdom's martial arts world. Xia Mei had told him that he was the lord of Nanhai Island and had even built a dragon palace in the sea, which piqued his curiosity, and he wanted to see it for himself… (End of Chapter)
