"What do you mean I'm your wife, not the water god's wife? Aren't you the water god?"
Zhao Xi's brain was practically short-circuiting from thinking so hard.
On one hand, she felt that she didn't know enough about the gods in the immortal realm, and on the other hand, she was worried that he was fooling her.
She leaned down, cupped his pale, handsome face in her hands, and pinched it. "Do you perhaps have a human skin mask that can transform into countless ones? Hmm?"
The great immortal's cold face was rubbed red by her, and he struggled backward, trying to escape her clutches.
His amber eyes were half-open, reflecting half of her shadow. His brows were furrowed, and even the strands of his hair hung down innocently and aggrievedly.
"...No, it's just me."
That pitiful expression...
Zhao Xi wanted to bully him even more now. She stepped on the sea anemone and, like a bandit robbing a beauty, lifted his chin and fiercely demanded, "Explain yourself! Now that I'm here, I'm not leaving until I get an answer!"
He remained silent for a long time, his whole body pressed into the sea anemone, with no way to escape. He could only cover her small hand with his large palm, his voice deep and heavy: "The matter of fate is hard to explain. I'm afraid you are just a mortal, and after becoming the wife of the water god, you will have opportunities that are not yours."
"You think I'm not good enough?"
"I'm worried about you..."
Zhao Xi pretended to understand, resting her chin on her hand and nodding: "So you were worried that I wasn't good enough for you?!"
He was speechless, "Xi Xiang...that's not how it is..."
When it comes to arguing, he never wins against her.
Unable to speak, he looked up and saw Zhao Xi's stern face, so he could only sigh helplessly and compromise, "It's my fault for not explaining things clearly..."
Zhao Xi wanted to glare at him with a stern face for a long time, but she couldn't hold back any longer.
"Pfft..."
She squatted down and punched the sea anemone, bursting into laughter, "Hahahaha! I thought you were worried that I would remember the past, awaken, and elope with Hoshino, then burn down the Lower Celestial Realm... I didn't expect you were actually worried that I might get struck by lightning?"
The great immortal stared at her in silence, bewildered.
Zhao Xi tried to suppress her laughter, "I'm not afraid!"
She threw herself into his arms, stretched out her arms, and hugged him tightly. "Are you stupid?! I don't care about the wedding or our status. What I'm angry about is that you didn't explain things clearly to me, that you hid things you didn't need to hide!"
A wedding is just a ceremony.
It's fine if her parents who abandoned her at the orphanage don't acknowledge her anymore.
That so-called fate and destiny, considering how miserable her past was, it's better not to worship her!
She was all alone, with few relatives.
I trust no one but myself.
Since Lin Che, this great immortal, doesn't know how to handle emotions, let her take the lead.
If other people encounter a lover who is hiding something, they may develop a rift due to distrust, and become so dramatic that they fight to the death.
But Zhao Xi didn't want to do that.
Speak your mind directly and frankly, and let all that annoying affectation go with the wind.
Whether they are Daoist partners or husband and wife, as long as Lin Che has no one else, it will not affect their relationship.
The form of address doesn't matter; Zhao Xi only cares about her immediate feelings.
She had already let go of the past, but she leaned in and bit his neck, only letting go with satisfaction after hearing his hiss.
"This is your fault. We'll put it on the tab and deal with it next time."
A tooth mark was left on the fair neck of the immortal.
Lin Che looked at her innocently, finding it utterly unbelievable.
He struggled for so long, not knowing how to speak, and she forgave him so easily?
Zhao Xi thought for a moment and then said, "What else are you hiding from me? I don't want to hear it from anyone else. Take this opportunity to tell me everything."
Lin Che put his arm around her waist, looked down at her, and hesitated for a moment: "Yes..."
There really is one?
"Go ahead and say it, I'm not angry."
"I need to visit some highly respected independent cultivators, so I can't take you with me."
"……All right."
It turns out they're going to break up again.
The materials for the Hundred Beasts Garden formation are basically all ready. Based on the Little Fairy's refining speed, the formation will be upgraded to the highest level before the end of the year.
The defense can be further improved, but it can no longer rely on materials. Instead, specific attribute monsters must be released into the Beast Garden.
Just like Lin Che released small fish and planted aquatic plants in a small pond, the ecological cycle formed by placing certain types of demonic beasts in the same habitat can be used as spirit stones.
This natural array barrier can suppress the demon race and requires no maintenance.
At that time, no matter what kind of disguise the demons have, they will have nowhere to hide.
The ferocious shield-shelled fish that Lin Che showed her earlier was one of the demonic beasts he wanted to release back into the spiritual springs of the outer mountains, but that was far from enough.
"It's alright, you can go now. Don't worry about me, I'll stay here and watch over things."
The animal park is full of spiritual energy, and each meal is equivalent to a Yuan Shen Pill. The cubs grow quickly, and before long they will be able to leave their owners and fend for themselves, roaming freely in the animal park.
Now the zoo has animals that fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the water. Different facilities need to be added to each area, so it needs to be carefully designed.
Looking up, he saw Lin Che hesitate, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
Could it be...?
-_-
Zhao Xi stared at him and said, "Hey, what else are you hiding from me? Confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely!"
He coughed lightly.
Even though they were alone, she said softly, "We have a child."
His expression was quite complicated as he secretly observed Zhao Xixiang's expression.
"?!" Zhao Xi reached for her lower abdomen, looking utterly astonished. "Impossible! My period just started, it can't be!!"
