""Didn't even say anything and you want to haggle! Don't be ridiculous! This young master has things to do, no time to waste with you. If you don't speak, I'll subdue you, then go deal with the other...Oh, come on! Do you need to strategize just to eat a peach How boring was Jiang Qiyun's life before this
In the underworld, I hardly need to look after my children because they are practically surrounded by everyone. However, everyone spoils them too much, almost without limits or principles!
Use a ghost-hunting rope to swing, and a soul-summoning slip to whack mole.
The willow branch left by the great deity to guard the palace was plucked bare of its leaves by You Nan. In the end, Jiang Qiyun only glared at him a few times and didn't beat him up.
The little female fairies of the Forget Worry Platform brought out their carefully made little robes, each one with wide, flowing sleeves. On the upper part of the large sleeves were two embroidered Taiji double fish patterns, and on the back was an embroidery of either a longevity peach or lotus flower.
Yunan and Yugui wore these little robes, looking so adorable. Especially Yunan, he even swayed as he walked a few steps, giving off quite the "lofty and ethereal" vibe.
Actually, coming here once in a while is pretty good too. It makes these ghosts and spirits happy for a long time.
Although the world may have its share of difficulties, human life offers a myriad of experiences and flavors to savor. As long as one is willing to put in a little effort, they can surely experience a diverse range of feelings.
"...It's a shame I can't drink right now," I whispered into Jiang Qiyun's ear.
He leaned one hand on the railing of the pavilion, the other holding a teacup to his lips, when he heard me say this, he frowned slightly and said, "Do you want to drink"
"I want to see you drink."
“What does that mean”
"Seeing you drunk is something else."
He smiled and said, “...then you probably won't have a chance.”
I don't touch alcohol easily, and I've never gotten drunk... how about you join me for a drink I bet you'll be the first to fall.
"…" I frowned and sat up straight, hugging my knees as I looked out at the bustling crowd of underworld denizens.
Jiang Qiyun smiled and twirled a lock of my hair with a slender finger, saying, "We have plenty of time ahead of us. You can practice your tolerance slowly, and then we can drink together someday."
"That won't do, I estimate no matter how much I practice, I'll only be able to hold three cups. What if I get drunk"
He glanced lightly out at the pavilion: "If you're drunk, you're drunk. I'll keep you company and sleep for a hundred years, it doesn't matter... When these two little things grow up, I'll throw them into the Qinghua Changle Realm and let them learn on their own."
“Why not Ziwei Yuan”
Jiang Qiyun seems to have a particular fondness for the Qinghua Changle Realm, the divine realm of Taiyi.
"The Purple Microcosm is high above, too cold to bear. Qianhua Changle Realm is the Pure Land of the supreme god Taiyi, the least chaotic and most suitable for cultivation." Jiang Qiyun evaluated without any reservation.
"And what about this little one" I gestured to my belly, "...Haven't you chosen a name yet"
"This is really troublesome," Jiang Qiyun frowned slightly.
"Even trouble needs to be taken care of! Who says you're the father" I couldn't help but laugh and cry.
Jiang Qiyun looked up at the pavilion outside, pondering deeply.
This pavilion is where I receive worship. Below me are swirling clouds and dancing snowflakes, and in the distance stands the majestic Heavenly King's Palace at the foot of the mountain.
The wind brushed past his cheek, and the way he furrowed his brow in thought was mesmerizing.
Who can share the beauty of this prosperous era, if not spring itself … My spirit is like orchid, ever lasting; My heart, like orchid, unwavering. He whispered softly—
"Jinnian, Lanxi, just use these two. You pick whichever you like."
"Is his last name Jiang or Mu"
Whatever you like.
... This father really is… He says it's a trouble, but he’s very serious about choosing the name. But he doesn't care at all who's surname they take.
He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, “I’ll still be surnamed Mu. Through thick and thin.”
Mu Jinnian, Mu Lanyix.
"The names you chose are all very nice... but why are they all two words"
"Taoists value duality, good things come in pairs after all. Names I didn't use this time can be used another." He curled his lip into a devilish smirk.
Next time
Will there be a next time!
"...Nine You're serious" My heart was shattered.
"Nine is the yang extreme, reaching to the greatest number; naturally, there must be nine. " He gave me a mischievous smile, the challenge clear in his eyes. "Protesting is useless, my little wife... with your temperament and thoughts, you'll eventually just give in willingly."
Pffft…
"You don't have to give birth anyway. It would be better to become an immortal sooner, so that I can travel through the three realms and help me a lot." A smug look appeared in his eyes.
"Jinyuan, Lanyi The names your brother-in-law chose sound so elegant and ethereal... Why don't you help me pick out a few backup options" My brother said as he flipped the grilling fish, looking up at me.
"Well then, how many names do you want" I asked with a smile.
"Eight or nine, I guess," my brother said casually.
"Hee hee, that's right... Big brother, if the immortal deities gave you a name, you would have to be this many. Otherwise, it would be considered greedy and you would be punished by heaven and earth."
“......Then just take one.”
"That won't do, Jiang Qiyun always chooses names in pairs. He says it adheres to the Taoist principle of duality."
“Xiao Qiao, you've become quite mischievous! It seems like you've learned how to dig holes for your brother!” My brother angrily set down the grilled fish in his hand and glared at me.
"Pffff... no way! How about two then, brother One is too little, two is just right, three is not too many, and four isn't too few!"
My brother smiled and shook his head wordlessly, standing beside the barbecue grill, idly flipping skewers of sizzling, oily food.
I saw him wearing loose sportswear and flip-flops, laziness perfectly interpreted.
How did he suddenly remember to have a barbecue in the yard
My brother helplessly shouted from the window on the second floor: “Qin, ancestors, it's done!”
Lin Yanqin pushed open the window and smiled at him, running down to my brother in a flurry of "thank yous".
It turns out it was for this young lady... Lin Yanqin particularly craved the skewers and barbecue on the street, but she didn't have a chance to eat them. My brother made them himself in the courtyard, ensuring safety, peace of mind, and satisfying her curiosity.
My brother gave me two large skewers of grilled meat mixed with the output, and I ate while watching Lin Yanqin's whole body covered in pink bubbles... I don't mind eating this delicious dog food every day.
Lin Yanqin asked, "Xiao Qiao, I took a look at your family's almanac. The first day of the next month is a good day. How about we set our engagement banquet for that day"
"In the imperial capital"
"No, right here. I've already talked to my family and they agree. When relatives and friends come over, there will be about three hundred people."
Pff...
Just about three hundred people!
That's already thirty tables, no wonder it's a big family.
My brother and I put a lot of thought into the engagement party, even our dad went to several hotels to taste test the food.
If it was two families getting to know each other before, now it's a serious matter of face.
We spared no effort in our preparations, setting up 60 tables for the engagement banquet.
The Lin family were either wealthy or noble, and they had some uninvited guests—including that Mr. Cheng from before!"What if I touch it""You're the Queen! With the Shaman King, you two are as one. How could anything possibly be wrong!"Different yet the same heartHow come this sounds so blushingI carefully peeled th...
