Shen Qiyue was originally arranged by Yan Xiao to go to Kyoto with Shen Muzhi, but the girl secretly switched places and hid in her group. She was not discovered until Shen Muzhi had gone far away.

Yanxiao had no choice but to take her with her on the journey.

Yan Xiao had reason to suspect that Shen Muzhi hadn't been unaware of it, but was pretending not to, with the obvious goal of getting Shen Qiyue to follow her.

As long as Shen Qiyue is with her, she can't help but think of Shen Muzhi. That's really scheming.

Yan Xiao looked out upon hearing the sound and saw that the rolling mountains met the sky, and under the glow of the setting sun, they seemed to be draped in a red veil, appearing mysterious and enchanting.

Yanxiao couldn't remember the last time she had so leisurely enjoyed such beautiful scenery, and couldn't help but chime in:

"It is indeed quite beautiful."

As soon as Yan finished speaking, the voice of his guardian angel echoed in his mind again:

"Congratulations, you little devil, you've succeeded. I'm leaving now."

After spending so much time together, Yanxiao had long been used to his presence, so she was slightly taken aback when he suddenly said he was leaving.

"Leave? Where are you going?"

Yan Xiao knew she had asked a really stupid question as soon as she uttered it, but thankfully, this time her guardian didn't scold her as usual, but patiently answered:

"Naturally, I'll go where I'm supposed to go. Although this world is still somewhat unstable, it's already an independent little world. The world's rules will soon awaken their consciousness and impose more restrictions on me."

As the guardian deity of this world, I cannot be involved in the karma of all beings. We will likely never meet again, and I will certainly not help you. Take care of yourself.

Yanxiao's relationship with her guardian deity wasn't very harmonious before; on the contrary, they were more like enemies. However, whether out of necessity or for some other reason, her guardian deity did help her a lot and saved her from taking many detours.

Now that the time for parting has come, she can't help but feel a little melancholy, but she doesn't want to show it and let her guardian angel laugh at her.

She sighed inwardly, but her expression remained haughty:

"I understand. Take care of yourself. I don't like owing favors to anyone. Considering how much you've helped me, I'll have someone build a temple for you later. That way, we'll be even."

The guardian spirit was clearly pleased to hear this, and put his hands on his hips, saying:

"At least you still have some conscience. Remember to make my statue look more majestic. I'm leaving now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Xiao clearly felt her head spin for a moment, but then it was as if nothing had happened.

She didn't try to call upon her guardian spirit again, because she knew that her connection with her guardian spirit had come to an end.

Seeing Yan Xiao staring blankly in one direction, Shen Qiyue couldn't help but glance at her a few more times, but didn't notice anything special. She couldn't help but ask:

"Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?"

Yan Xiao slowly pulled herself together, turned to look at Shen Qiyue, and smiled.

"It's nothing, I was probably just too mesmerized by the beautiful scenery."

"Oh, I see."

Shen Qiyue had no doubts and looked at the Medicine King Valley before her with complete agreement:

"It is indeed a rare and beautiful sight. Sister-in-law, shall we go into the valley now?"

"Well, since we're already here, let's go in and take a look."

Yan Xiao's words completely baffled Shen Qiyue. Her sister-in-law had come all this way specifically to visit Medicine King Valley, hadn't she? Wasn't it something important? But the way she was talking made it sound like she was just passing by and happened to be there.

After Yan Xiao finished speaking, he got off the carriage and headed into Medicine King Valley. Shen Qiyue didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly got off the carriage to chase after him.

Situ Nanzhao helped Mu Yunniang down from the carriage, but instead of immediately chasing after them, he gazed at the scenery of Medicine King Valley and said:

"Yunniang, Medicine King Valley is a beautiful place with pleasant air. How about we come here and stay for a while when we have some free time?"

Mu Yunniang also liked this place very much, but she had some concerns:

"Medicine King Valley has an owner; it's not a place we can just live in whenever we want."

"What's wrong with that? The current Valley Master of Medicine King Valley is Chu Heng, and Chu Heng's weakness is Su Yuanyuan. Su Yuanyuan also follows my sister's lead. What's wrong with me, as her older brother, wanting to stay for a few days?"

Mu Yunniang found Situ Nanzhao's arrogant and domineering manner amusing, but upon reflection, it seemed to make perfect sense, so she said nothing more.

She now only feels fortunate that she befriended Yanxiao early on, which brought about a dramatic change in her life.

Her hand involuntarily went to her lower abdomen, her eyes filled with both anticipation and unease.

Her period was a few days late, and if she wasn't mistaken, she should be pregnant.

Having been disappointed too many times, she dared not investigate easily, nor was she afraid of disappointing Situ Nanzhao. So she did not dare to make a fuss and just wanted to wait a few days to see.

Situ Nanzhao's attention was mostly on her at the moment, and upon seeing her expression and movements, he immediately tensed up:

"What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable from sitting in the carriage for so long?"

"I'm fine."

Situ Nanzhao didn't listen at all. He quickly grabbed her wrist and felt her pulse, but then slowly frowned.

Mu Yunniang had initially been somewhat hopeful, but upon seeing his reaction, she immediately became nervous, suspecting that she wasn't pregnant, but rather had contracted some kind of illness.

"What's wrong? Is something the problem?"

Situ Nanzhao shook his head, then carefully touched her again. Without warning, he picked up Mu Yunniang and ran after her in Yan Xiao's direction, his expression extremely serious.

His reaction didn't seem like happiness, which made Mu Yunniang even more nervous. She forgot to speak for a moment and just stood there dumbly letting him hold her.

As soon as Yan Xiao entered the valley, she saw Situ Nanzhao carrying Mu Yunniang and chasing after her, his expression somewhat strange.

She immediately stopped and looked at Mu Yunniang in Situ Nanzhao's arms, asking in confusion:

"What's wrong with Yunniang?"

Situ Nanzhao didn't put Mu Yunniang down; instead, he held her and handed his arm to Yan Xiao, saying seriously:

"I'm a little unsure, can you take a look for me?"

Seeing his serious expression, Yan Xiao also became serious. She quickly touched Mu Yunniang's wrist and then used her supernatural ability to quickly examine Mu Yunniang's body, but found no illness.

"Um?"

Just as she was about to stop, she suddenly noticed something unusual. She quickly took a closer look, and the result was exactly as she had expected.

Mu Yunniang was filled with trepidation, but she waited quietly. Seeing Yan Xiao's reaction, she finally couldn't help but speak:

"Is there something wrong with me? You don't need to hide it from me, just tell me directly."

"There is a slight problem."

Yan Xiao, with a serious expression, withdrew his hand as he spoke.

Before Mu Yunniang could press for answers, he looked at Situ Nanzhao and said:

"You should get your wedding arranged as soon as possible. In a few days, your belly will probably be too big to hide."

Upon hearing Yan Xiao's words, Mu Yunniang froze on the spot, while Situ Nanzhao immediately nodded happily:

"Okay, okay, I'll get it done right away."

As he spoke, he carried Mu Yunniang and walked around in circles several times, then looked at Yan Xiao and asked:

"Have you finished your work? I have to go back. Can you manage on your own?"

This is clearly a strike.

Yan Xiao was somewhat speechless. He glanced back at Medicine King Valley and finally made the decision:

"Alright, since there's good news, let's go back together."

"Okay, okay, I'll go back right away."

Situ Nanzhao had been waiting for these words, and upon hearing them, he immediately picked up the somewhat surprised and stunned Mu Yunniang and walked back.

"They really have no humanity when it comes to the opposite sex!"

Yan Xiao muttered a curse to himself, then led the clueless Shen Qiyue to follow.

"Sister-in-law, are we going back already? What did we come here for? What's wrong with Sister Yunniang? Why is Brother Situ so excited?"

"Children should eat more and talk less."

"Oh, okay~"
