Time Travel: I'm a Flower Thief

November 11th, sunny turning cloudy.

The sea and sky blend into one, the moon is gradually waxing, a time for leisurely pursuits, not for restlessness.

Inside the wooden cabins on Forget-Worry Island, the warmth was even stronger than usual.

Yun Jianxue leaned against the soft couch, her face showing a slight pain, but her eyes radiated a gentle maternal glow.

The little swaddled baby lay quietly beside me, breathing evenly and gently moving its tiny hand occasionally, which was endearing.

Xie Xiaoyi tiptoed in and saw Yun Jianxue with a slight frown, so he approached quietly.

"Sister Jianxue, what's wrong? You're frowning, are you feeling unwell?"

Yun Jianxue's cheeks flushed slightly, and she moved closer to him: "It's not Qianxun!"

"You're cooking all sorts of nourishing dishes every day... I have so much breast milk, my baby can't finish it all in one meal, and my breasts are so engorged and uncomfortable."

Xie Xiaoyi glanced down at it, paused for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle softly:

"Wow, she's grown up! She's almost as big as Qing'er. But that's a good thing, it means our child won't have to worry about food."

"You're still laughing!"

Yun Jianxue raised her hand and gently patted him, her eyes full of helplessness:

"It's so bloated, like a rock, it hurts to the touch. The baby can't finish eating, I can't just hold it in, can I?"

Xie Xiaoyi reached out and put his hand on her shoulder, his tone gentle yet earnest: "Shall we get up and walk around? Moving around a bit might help relieve some of the discomfort."

Yun Jianxue bit her lip and gently shook her head: "I can't move... even the slightest tremor hurts."

"Did you try to squeeze it out a bit to clear the blockage? That should relieve the bloating and pain."

"I've tried, but it won't come out! Sister Suwen said that the child has to suck it out himself."

Xie Xiaoyi nodded and continued, "Then let our son eat more."

Yun Jianxue looked somewhat aggrieved: "But the child is too full to eat anymore! If I had known, I shouldn't have eaten so much nourishing food in the first place."

Xie Xiaoyi hummed in agreement: "Okay, I'll go find Sister Qianxun right now and tell her to stop making you such a nourishing stew."

As he was about to leave, Yun Jianxue pressed his wrist down: "Xiao Yi... there's something I want to ask you!"

You're asking me again?

Last time she begged me to call her "Mom," what does she want this time?

Xie Xiaoyi raised an eyebrow: "What do you want? You don't want me to call you 'Mom' again, do you? Fine, if it makes you happy, you can call me 'Mom'!"

Yun Jianxue glared at him and quickly shook her head: "Now that I have a child, he will naturally call me 'Mom' from now on, so you don't need to call me that."

"Then what do you want me to do?" Xie Xiaoyi stopped joking and looked at her seriously.

Yun Jianxue blushed and stood up to whisper a few words in his ear.

Xie Xiaoyi chuckled, "That's exactly what I wish for, but I wouldn't dare ask!"

Yun Jianxue turned her face away, her voice barely audible: "It's mainly because it hurts so much. Besides you... who else can I turn to?"

Xie Xiaoyi stopped talking and gently helped her sit down.

Her soft breasts were like dewdrops on jade.

The spring's flow is sluggish and difficult to open.

Not waiting for the baby to suckle,

A good man came to relieve my distress.

A light burp before leaving the house.

She secretly felt her cheeks were full of fragrance.

......

12. Sunny, cloudless sky.

With the sky high and the land vast, the sea clear and the wind gentle, it is a good time to visit friends, and one should avoid worldly thoughts that may disturb the mind.

South of the vast sea, clouds and mist naturally arise, and a solitary island hangs there, named Ninghua Immortal Island.

The island is shrouded in ethereal mist and exudes tranquility.

Ning Hua, dressed in a Taoist robe, was meditating when he suddenly opened his eyes.

"It is not an ordinary aura, but a mixture of immortal energy, and a mortal visitor has come to visit."

A moment later, Xie Xiaoyi's voice came from outside: "Grandmaster Ninghua! Xie Xiaoyi has come to visit. Please grant me an audience!"

"Come in!"

With a wave of his hand, Ning Hua unleashed a surge of energy, causing the Rouge Phoenix to stop circling around Xie Xiaoyi. It folded its wings and stepped aside, no longer preventing him from going to the island.

Xie Xiaoyi smiled when he saw Ning Hua and chatted for a while about everyday things.

Then he got straight to the point: "Grandmaster Uncle, I came here today to ask you something."

Earlier, I inexplicably gained a phoenix power within my body, which seems to be of the same origin as the phoenix blood power you once gave me.

The reason seems to be because of a dream. I'm wondering if the person in my dream is related to you?

Upon hearing this, Ning Hua slightly turned her head, her gaze falling on the drifting clouds over the sea. It seemed like a casual remark, yet it also hinted at a reluctance to elaborate further.

"Dreams are not real, reality is not dreams, reality is also a dream, and dreams are also real. People in the world take reality as real and dreams as illusory, but they are just trying to discern the truth while in a state of delusion."

To question the reality of a dream is to fall into a mental trap—if the mind is unattached, both dream and waking are truths.

Hearing this, Xie Xiaoyi felt a sudden sense of relief.

The doubts, confusion, and obsession with getting to the bottom of things that had plagued him for so long vanished in an instant.

Whether a dream is real or not, when the time is right, it will come. Trying to discern it will only prevent you from seeing things clearly.

I'll just let things take their course.

The two sat on the grass of the fairy island and chatted idly for a whole day without realizing it.

As the sun set into the vast sea and dusk fell, Xie Xiaoyi prepared to take his leave and return home.

He stood up, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and said with a smile, "Grandmaster Uncle, may I come here often to chat with you in the future?"

Ning Hua looked at him, a sweet and gentle smile playing on her lips: "Come whenever you want, I'm always here."
