Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 267: Master's Wife is Not Easy to Provoke

Song Xinci looked thinner, and she herself didn't know why. She couldn't eat or sleep well, and was always distracted when practicing.

Of course, she refused to admit the reason.

The three years in the world of the painting have made her accustomed to Yun Yi's existence. Now that they are suddenly separated for a period of time, she can see her heart more clearly.

As a person who has experienced this, Pei Jianjia has long seen the root cause of Song Xinci's depression.

She said, "Since you miss him, why not go see him?"

Song Xinci said, "Sorry to make you laugh, Sister Pei. Compared to him, my cultivation level is obviously higher, but for some reason, when we are together, I always feel like he is taking care of me like a child."

In the world of the painting, Song Xinci is troubled by the sword energy, and Yun Yi is busy cooking and boiling water to make medicine every day. These concerns are like wisps of spring rain, which have already soaked into his heart.

Pei Jianjia explained to her, "Love between a man and a woman is not about their level of cultivation or age. If a man truly loves a woman, she will definitely feel pampered."

"Hearing you say that...it does seem to make some sense."

"So you agree that he dotes on you?"

Song Xinci blushed, "Sister Pei, you are making fun of me again."

Pei Jianjia covered her lips and chuckled: "Laughing is laughing, but I didn't lie to you."

"Hmm...Alas." Song Xinci looked into the distance, wondering whether he had resolved the issues in Dong'an City and when he would return.

"You really don't plan to go out and look for him?"

"He's been running around for me all this time. He destroyed the Tiancan Sect so I could have more backup plans. If I don't practice harder, I'll just become a woman who relies on him."

Pei Jianjia: "Sister, you are wrong. You can rely on him, but that doesn't mean you have to rely on him to survive. You should just enjoy the feeling of having someone to rely on."

Song Xinci was stunned: "I don't quite understand..."

"Silly sister, if you insist on being strong and competitive, you'll always be living a lonely life. It's better to hand the problem over to him. He'll be happily busy working on it, and you two won't have to be separated."

Pei Jianjia became more and more excited as she spoke. "Yu Wuxia had countless lovers back then, so why was I the only one left in the end? Why was I the only one who could drive him so busy? There's a lot of knowledge involved!"

Song Xinci was a little tempted, so she said, "Then I'll wait for him for another day. If he still doesn't come back, I'll go out and look for him."

……

You really can't blame Yun Yi for coming back late. No one expected that he would bring Dou Li, a burden, with him when he came back.

Children are curious at that age, so they inevitably ask questions. Zhuque also happens to be playful, so the group took the opportunity to enjoy the scenery along the way, which delayed their trip.

After all this trouble, when they returned to the Sword Burial Valley, Yun Yi saw a figure flying away from the top of the mountain.

He then shouted loudly: "New porcelain!"

The figure suddenly stopped and then landed in front of Yun Yi. The woman was wearing a jade-white dress and had an elegant temperament. There was both joy and some annoyance in her eyes.

"Hey, you're not planning on going out to look for me, are you?"

Song Xinci responded with a cold look, as if to say, "You still have the nerve to come back."

Fortunately, Suzaku came to the rescue at the critical moment and came close to Song Xinci and said, "Miss, I miss you so much~"

It turns out that a woman's coquettishness is not only effective on men, but also on the same sex.

Song Xinci's expression relaxed slightly, and then her eyes fell on the boy hiding behind Yun Yi.

She was very confused. How come she was pregnant when she came back after going out?
Was it Zhuque's son, or Su Qing's? Something was wrong; the ages didn't seem to match.

Yun Yi pulled Dou Li in front of him and introduced him, "This is the disciple I accepted from Dong'an City. He was born with a sword bone and is a good seedling."

Dou Li had been helping his mother sell tofu pudding since he was little, so he was quite perceptive. He immediately bowed and said, "Excuse me, is this beautiful sister your master's wife?"

Yun Yi smiled from ear to ear, thinking that this was a really good name. Song Xinci glared at him, but felt a little shy, so she said nothing and just looked at Dou Li carefully.

Faced with this beautiful mistress who had remained silent since they met, Dou Li became inexplicably restrained, fearing that he would do something wrong and be sent back home by the mistress again.

Song Xinci moved her fingertips slightly, and the Qingyun sword on Dou Li's back immediately came out of its sheath several inches, emitting a burst of green light. Then Song Xinci moved her finger again, and the sword returned to its sheath.

It's simply the most well-behaved.

Dou Li was naturally shocked. The Sword Immortal Master was a carefree and uninhibited person, without any airs. But the Master's Wife had an aura of authority that was undeniable, and it seemed as if all the swords in the world respected and feared her.

It’s weird.

Yun Yi saw Dou Li's confusion and explained, "This Qingyun Sword comes from the Buried Sword Valley, and the woman in front of you is the leader of the Buried Sword Valley."

Dou Li quickly bowed again: "Thank you, Master's Wife, for the sword."

Obviously, this kid has figured out who has the most say in the family.

Song Xinci didn't care whether the sword stayed or went. She suddenly asked, "Do you want to learn sword?"

Dou Li: "Exactly."

"Why?"

"First, it's to protect myself. If one day I become stronger, I also want to protect the people I care about."

"Have you ever killed anyone?"

Dou Li was stunned when he heard this, and stammered, not knowing how to answer.

But Yun Yi didn't help and let the child face Song Xinci's questioning alone.

He said, "I, I have shot sparrows with a slingshot."

Song Xinci had a blank expression on her face, not seeming to be disdainful of the answer. She then asked, "Have you ever seen blood?"

"I've seen... but not many."

"What is the Qingyun Sword to you?"

"Yes, partner!" Dou Li answered without thinking.

Song Xinci said, "In that case, I'll give you one chance. Take your sword and climb to the top of that mountain along this road before dark. I'll wait for you there."

Zhuque couldn't help but whispered, "Dou Li is only seven years old."

"The embroiderer has been nagging you so many times, you should go see her." Song Xinci dismissed Zhuque and asked Yun Yi, "What do you think?"

Yun Yi spread his hands and said, "What opinion can I have? You have the final say."

Dou Li tightened his face, puffed out his chest and said, "I will definitely not let Master and his wife down!"

Song Xinci nodded slightly, stretched out her hand, and a wisp of sword energy shot out to accompany the child. She said, "Remember, you are not allowed to ask others for help. You can only rely on yourself and your sword."

"This one……"

"What, you don't want to?"

"What if I get lost?"

Yun Yi couldn't help laughing out loud, thinking that he had forgotten that little Dou Jianxian was a directionally challenged person. It turned out that this was a problem he had had since childhood.

Song Xinci said sternly, "The sword will lead the way for you. Stop talking nonsense and start now!"
