In the capital, Qin Xiao sat on Youyou's back, looking at the buildings forming circles on the ground, and took a deep breath, feeling refreshed.

It seems that deep down, he considers this place his hometown, and only when he returns to Huawu Kingdom does he feel like he's home.

Qin Xiao became excited at the thought of his beautiful wife at home.

In the distance, a calm lake appeared; we had arrived at Mirror Moon Lake.

It landed on the ground and headed straight for its little house.

Soon, the woman stood at the door, eagerly awaiting her arrival.

Qin Xiao excitedly ran over and gave the other person a bear hug, holding him tightly in his arms.

"Baby, I've missed you so much!"

Although the separation was short, it was practically a death sentence, so their true feelings were naturally revealed.

Ye Qingya nestled herself into his arms, inhaling his scent while tears streamed down her face.

The two hugged at the door for a full three minutes.

Just as Qin Xiao was shaking his head and nuzzling Ye Qingya's neck and hair, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that there were two other women...

Awkwardly raising her head, Ye Qinghuan's face was both red and white, while Lu Chengxiao looked at her with a slight smile on his lips.

He froze in shock, about to gently release Ye Qingya.

Who knew that Ye Qingya couldn't bear to let him leave and still held him tightly.

Qin Xiao's face hardened, and he looked at Ye Qinghuan, feeling extremely embarrassed.

He whispered in Ye Qingya's ear, "Sister Qingya, your daughter is still here..."

Ye Qingya trembled, but she still didn't let go. Instead, her face flushed, she continued to shrink into his arms.

Qin Xiao was stunned. What... what's going on?

Finally, after a few more minutes, Ye Qingya gently pushed him away.

As they parted, she casually smoothed his pants without making a sound before bending down to adjust her own skirt.

That stinky Qin Xiao, he can... he can... he's really shameless.

Ye Qingya originally wanted to hug him a little longer, but the pressure was making her uncomfortable, so she had no choice but to let go.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingya blushed and glared at him fiercely.

I'll deal with you tonight!

Qin Xiao smiled somewhat awkwardly, having clearly seen the look in Ye Qingya's eyes.

Composing himself, he stepped forward and greeted the two women.

"A resounding victory, why is there no applause?"

Ye Qinghuan wanted to turn around and leave, but... but she couldn't bear to... Now, hearing his words, she couldn't hold back anymore and ran away crying.

Lu Chengxiao looked at the somewhat bewildered Qin Xiao with a half-smile and said ambiguously.

"You're really amazing, junior! I admire you!"

Ye Qingya snapped out of her daze. "Alright, stop standing there, let's go home."

As he spoke, he reached out and took Qin Xiao's hand, and Qin Xiao instantly felt at ease.

Yes, let's go home...

Walking along the road, in the short distance of just over ten meters to the living room, Qin Xiao's mind was filled with turbulent thoughts.

Some surprises, some disbelief, and some regrets...

Bah, what a beast!

Qin Xiao silently complained to himself.

Then, looking at Ye Qingya, he whispered, "Baby, Huanhuan...she knows?"

Ye Qingya's face flushed red, and she lowered her head shyly, brushing her long hair behind her ear.

"Um."

Qin Xiao tightened his grip, and Ye Qingya immediately felt it.

"You, you shouldn't be so... let Huanhuan get used to it first..."

Qin Xiao suddenly realized, "Okay, okay, I know. Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't know what's important?"

Huanhuan must be feeling pretty bad right now.

After all, the mother and daughter depended on each other for survival, so it's normal that they found it hard to accept that he had stolen her away.

Moreover, her age and identity are in a very awkward position.

And for some unknown reason, Qin Xiao felt, well, it's best not to provoke her.

Upon entering the living room, Ye Qinghuan did not leave to return to her room. Instead, she sat on the sofa, lost in thought.

Qin Xiao also sat down on the sofa, and his tamed beasts went back to their rooms or into the kitchen.

Ye Qingya poured a cup of black tea and handed it to Qin Xiao, "Xiao... Little Qin, what exactly happened this time? We were all so worried."

Qin Xiao took the black tea and, out of the corner of his eye, saw that Ye Qinghuan's attention had indeed been drawn, and her expression had returned to normal.

"Well, it's a long story, let me tell you in detail."

As Qin Xiao spoke, he recounted everything that had happened in the secret realm.

Aside from some detailed information and names of the evil god that were not mentioned, as well as his symbiotic abilities, everything else was told truthfully.

Killing an entire world is really too shocking, and Qin Xiao subconsciously didn't want others to know about the stupid thing he did.

It's fine to admit your mistakes and correct them, but that doesn't mean you want others to know.

After she finished telling the story, Ye Qingya looked at him with bright eyes. Qin Xiao thought she was going to ask him something.

Who knew that his opening remarks would startle Qin Xiao.

"Xiao Qin, that...that goddess...did you win her over?"

Pfft~

Qin Xiao spat out a mouthful of black tea, and Ye Qinghuan, who was also staring at him with bright eyes, got sprayed in the face.

Black tea dripped down her cheeks, but Ye Qinghuan didn't scream; instead, she stared blankly with a strange expression.

Qin Xiao hurriedly put down the cup and pulled out a tissue from the table to wipe Ye Qinghuan's face.

"I'm so sorry, Huanhuan, I really didn't mean to..."

"Yes, I know..."

Ye Qinghuan remained still, letting him wipe her face, until Qin Xiao wiped her cheeks down to her chest, at which point she took a tissue and wiped herself, feeling a little embarrassed.

Qin Xiao awkwardly withdrew his hand, only then realizing that his action seemed somewhat inappropriate...

Out of the corner of his eye, Ye Qingya also stared at him with a half-smile, just like Lu Chengxiao.

He froze instantly. Oh no, what should he do now...?

But then he became suspicious. Why didn't Qingya stop him? And she didn't seem angry...

Hiss~ Qin Xiao was so shocked by his own thoughts that he quickly shifted his focus.

"Xiao Qin, you still haven't told me, how's your relationship with that goddess going?"

Ye Qingya asked again, and Qin Xiao came back to his senses, coughing somewhat awkwardly.

"Cough cough, what else can I do? We're just not on the same wavelength. She's a goddess, and I even beat her up and almost killed her... It's good enough that she doesn't hate me."

Ye Qingya frowned and asked for some more details.

However, Qin Xiao didn't pay any attention to Mu Yueming, and later he fell into a coma, so they didn't have much contact. How could they possibly talk about it?

Ye Qingya felt a pang of regret upon hearing his answer...

That's a goddess, a goddess... If Qin Xiao could establish a connection with her, the benefits would be immense...

However, Ye Qingya then felt a surge of secret joy and relief.

After all, if something were to happen, even if she had been with Qin Xiao earlier... she would still have to obediently give way.

Then, everyone chatted for a while longer.

Lu Chengxiao asked him if he had anything good to sell, but Qin Xiao didn't actually get anything good this time.

I also fed the spirit crystals I got to my precious Jianmu tree.

After a while, Ilya finished cooking. After dinner, Qin Xiao said he should rest early and went upstairs.

Before leaving, he secretly gave Ye Qingya a wink.

In the restaurant, Ye Qingya was clearing away the tableware, her hands trembling slightly, her face flushed.
