Chapter 35 Yangmei "You should go."
(35)
After the spiritual energy circulated through a small circle, his heartbeat finally calmed down and all the distracting thoughts in his mind faded away.
Shen Changyi sat quietly outside the door, and looked back with a hint of awareness. Li Shanglu had already changed into new clothes and came downstairs.
Her face was calm, as if nothing had happened, and she was still holding those parenting books in her arms.
He walked over and took it. The two of them sat at the table in tacit understanding and flipped through the books. They still had to read them. Without their parents' guidance, they were like blind men groping in the dark, with no experience at all.
Shen Changyi had read some of it himself before, but the contents were not as detailed as in these books.
The more Li Shanglu read, the darker his face became.
Why is having a baby so difficult?
A weak spleen and stomach, and difficulty sleeping and eating are minor issues. Dizziness and headaches will cause nausea and vomiting from time to time. In addition, there are breast pain, back pain and fatigue, and even effects on appearance and figure. Needless to say, the pain during childbirth is half life-threatening.
Is it too late not to have a baby now?
She loves everything about herself and will never allow having a child to ruin her.
Glancing at Shen Changyi who was sitting opposite him and reading a book carefully, Li Shanglu felt even more depressed and unhappy.
Why does the man have nothing to do? He is so leisurely and can have a child without doing anything.
She threw the book away and said coldly, "I won't read it anymore."
Shen Changyi glanced at the book in his hand and looked at her cautiously, "I'll read it, you go and rest."
Li Shanglu said unhappily, "What's the point? Can you give birth for me?"
"Sorry, I can't..." Shen Changyi felt ashamed and buried his head back in the book.
Having a child is indeed unfair to Shang Lu, and the only way he can think of to make up for it is to research that spell.
He had researched that spell a long time ago.
All she thought at the time was that if Shang Lu married someone else one day, she would definitely give birth to a child. She had never been injured since she was a child, and it was extremely difficult to recover when she was sick. She definitely could not bear the pain of giving birth, so he was willing to bear it for Shang Lu.
Anyway, he has always been able to endure it.
Unexpectedly, Shanglu became pregnant with his child.
Whenever Shen Changyi thought of this, he felt light-headed, as if he was still in a dream.
Li Shanglu stared at the figure who was still reading in a daze, and his heart became more and more annoyed.
This idiot is so lucky that he doesn't have to suffer any sin.
"Chen Changyi, I want to eat bayberries." She suddenly said in a chilling voice, "I want the freshest ones in the Southern Region, freshly picked from the trees."
Shen Changyi was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up, performed a ground escape technique, and disappeared from the spot.
After a while, the bayberries came up, each one plump and bright red, with dew still hanging on the leaves.
Shen Changyi picked up one and fed it into her mouth, then freed up one hand to catch the fruit core she spit out.
"Pah, it tastes terrible."
Li Shanglu narrowed his eyes and said in a serious tone, "You didn't buy it from nearby just to save trouble, did you?"
She was just trying to make things difficult for this idiot. She was unhappy to see him being so relaxed.
Shen Changyi opened his eyes slightly and explained softly, "No, I picked it in the Southern Region..."
"Shut up, who allowed you to explain?" She picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. "Try it yourself."
Shen Changyi tasted it and said tentatively, "It's sweet and sour."
It just has the ordinary bayberry flavor.
"Sweet and sour?" She sneered and said nonsense, "It clearly has no taste."
Shen Changyi suddenly fell silent. He seemed to understand something and whispered, "I'll get some more."
It must be because of the pregnancy, the rhubarb doesn’t taste sweet anymore.
He felt a pang of pain in his chest and turned away with a sense of self-blame.
The new bayberries have been brought in.
Li Shanglu picked up one, and it was so sour that she shuddered. She quickly spat it out and looked at Shen Changyi in disbelief, "You picked it when it was ripe. It's so sour that it's going to rot my teeth."
When Shen Changyi saw that she could taste the sourness, he said happily, "I specially picked the sourest ones. You can really taste it."
Li Shanglu: “…”
She picked up the bayberries and smashed them hard on his head, "Get out!"
Chen Changyi stood outside the door, wiping the bayberry juice off his head bit by bit with a handkerchief.
After a while, he suddenly raised his head slowly, his eyes cold.
Opposite him, a figure froze in place, still holding a food box in his hand.
Helan Jin didn't expect that Shen Changyi didn't exorcise the demon today. On an ordinary day like this, he would never be in Shutong Pavilion.
When he was swept by those cold eyes, the blood in his body seemed to freeze a little, but he gritted his teeth and continued to walk towards Shutong Pavilion.
If he turned around and left at this moment, it would probably make Shen Changyi suspicious. However, the demonic energy on his body was very weak and Shen Changyi would not be able to see it.
The two men passed each other, and Helan Jin's heart was in his throat. When he was about to push the door, a long sword suddenly appeared in front of him without warning.
His pupils shrank, his breathing stopped, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"She's resting."
Shen Changyi's voice was very faint.
The buzzing sound in Helan Jin's mind gradually dissipated. He turned to look at Shen Changyi, smiled, and handed over the food box in his hand. "It turns out to be Master Sword Immortal. I just came to bring some food to Shang Lu. Since she is resting, Master Sword Immortal will pass it on to her."
After the words fell, Shen Changyi did not take over. His brows were slightly gloomy, as if he had noticed something.
Sweat trickled down his temples. Helan Jin still clearly remembered the scene of the other party chopping off his head. Like the White Impermanence of the underworld, Shen Changyi stepped on his head expressionlessly, and the long sword fell, cutting off his neck.
The whole process was silent, like crushing an ant.
Only those who have experienced his sword moves know that each of Shen Changyi's moves is a killing move. That sharp and cold sword technique does not carry any mercy or compassion. It is a true sword technique to suppress demons, which will make all demon cultivators feel fear when they see him. It is said that the demon cultivators killed by him, without exception, have their souls scattered and will never be reborn.
Helan Jin's fingers hidden in his sleeves were shaking violently. If he had not been smart enough to use that remnant soul to escape from his body, he would probably have turned into a handful of dirt by now.
He knew that Shen Changyi was still looking for him, but if he found him, only death would await him.
"Who are you talking to?"
The door was suddenly pushed open, and both of them looked inside the room.
Helan Jin was horrified, as if he had found a life-saving straw. He whispered, "Shanglu, I came to bring you food, but was stopped by the Sword Immortal..."
He was pale and looked very weak.
Li Shanglu glanced at them in confusion and waved to Helan Jin, "Come in."
Helan Jin almost couldn't breathe.
Let him go, let him go, okay?
But because Li Shanglu had already spoken, he could only move his steps and walk into Shutong Pavilion.
When the food box was opened, the room was filled with a sweet aroma, which turned out to be bayberry.
Shen Changyi's expression paused slightly, and he couldn't help but clench his fingertips.
"I happened to see someone selling it while I was exorcising demons, so I brought it back on the way." Helan Jin inexplicably felt that the surroundings were even colder. He didn't dare to look back at Shen Changyi, so he just gritted his teeth and pushed the food box to Li Shanglu's hand, "Shanglu, you eat, I won't disturb you..."
Li Shanglu couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw the contents of the food box. "Master Lan Jin really understands me. How did you know I was craving bayberries today?"
Hearing this, Helan Jin briefly put aside the cold murderous aura and said, "Really? Then I made the right purchase. Come and try it."
Li Shanglu picked up one and put it in her mouth. It tasted similar to the ones picked by Shen Changyi, both sour and sweet. She couldn't tell the difference. At most, the flesh of the freshly picked bayberry was fresher.
But she smiled and said, "Thank you, Master Lan Jin. It's delicious."
Helan Jin looked at the smile on her lips and thought maliciously in his heart, even if it was Shen Changyi, as long as he could get Li Shanglu's heart, sooner or later, Shen Changyi would be poisoned to death by Li Shanglu.
What an invincible swordsman, he can't even capture the heart of his own wife, what a waste.
"As long as you like it, tonight is the Lantern Festival. I came here to ask if you want to go see the lanterns tonight?"
"The Lantern Festival? Of course I have to go." Li Shanglu completely ignored Shen Changyi, picked out a bayberry from the food box, and fed it to Helan Jin. "It just so happens that I made a green gauze dress a few days ago. I'll wear it for you to see."
Helan Jin wanted to open his mouth to grab the bayberry, but before he got close, he suddenly froze in place.
The sword, flashing with cold light, stood in front of him, piercing through the wood by three inches, and the entire table was penetrated. Helan Jin's face turned pale instantly.
Li Shanglu was also startled and looked up. Shen Changyi had a very cold expression on his face and was pulling out his sword inch by inch.
"You should go." He said calmly.
Helan Jin stood up in panic. After a while, he couldn't help but look back at him with hatred, "Master Sword Immortal, why do you have to do this? I'm good to Shang Lu, what right do you have to stop me?"
Li Shanglu didn't expect Shen Changyi's reaction to be so horrible. She just felt that it was unfair for her to give birth to a child, and wanted to use Helan Jin to piss him off.
She spoke in surprise and subconsciously ordered, "Chen Changyi, put the sword back."
Hearing her words, Shen Changyi raised his eyes silently, "Shang Lu, tell him."
Li Shanglu somehow understood what he meant, and his heart trembled slightly.
Li Shanglu felt that expression was both unfamiliar and familiar. He was very angry, and this was not an anger that could be brushed off with just a few words of comfort.
She gritted her teeth, still refusing to give in. "Tell him what? They gave me something out of kindness. They asked you to take the sword back. Are you deaf?"
Shen Changyi looked at her with a coldness that could not be questioned, and repeated slowly,
"Tell him."
Li Shanglu's breathing was slightly choked, and he inexplicably had the illusion that he was being controlled by the other party. He knew what he was thinking, and he also knew that she would understand what he meant.
Shen Changyi wanted her to say it herself to prove it to Helan Jin.
She curled her fingers together in shame, but her body couldn't help but tremble.
After a while, Li Shanglu lowered his head and whispered to Helan Jin, "I'm sorry for lying to you earlier. I'm not Shen Changyi's cousin, but... his wife."
Helan Jin didn't expect her to be defeated so quickly. His face turned blue and black. After a long moment, he said unwillingly, "I see. I'll go back first then."
He put the bayberries down, picked up the lunch box, and raised his eyes with a feeling of shame.
If he was not a demon cultivator, but the real Helan Jin, perhaps he would not be afraid of Shen Changyi at this moment.
Helan Jin left and the room fell into silence.
Li Shanglu sat at the table without looking up.
The sword was drawn from the front and sheathed. She vaguely felt that the other party was still staring at her, and the extremely aggressive gaze made Li Shanglu feel uncomfortable.
There was a shadow in front of her, and her slender white fingers picked up a bayberry that Helan Jin had given her and put it to her lips.
Li Shanglu raised his eyes in shame and said through gritted teeth, "That's enough, he's already gone."
Shen Changyi's eyes were dark, he was still pinching the bayberry, not saying a word.
Li Shanglu took a deep breath and turned his face away stubbornly. "I won't eat it. Don't think that just because I've been nice to you lately, you can get ahead of me..."
Before she could finish her words, a cold finger touched her lips and pushed the bayberry into her without any explanation.
Li Shanglu looked at him in surprise and subconsciously wanted to grab his hand, but was pinched on the face and kissed.
"This is punishment."
I can taste the pain of others, but I cannot taste his punishment.
The punishment for going down the mountain with a man to watch the lanterns even though she knew she was pregnant.
The punishment of feeding Helan Jin, whom he hated.
His voice was very light, "Don't see him again, or I will be angry."
They already have children.
Since Shang Lu was willing to give birth to him, he was no longer nameless and without status.
My parents said that if Shang Lu fell in love with someone else, he must let her go.
He had given Shang Lu many chances. He would help her find a more suitable man and would tolerate her being intimate with other men. Even if Shang Lu betrayed him, he would pretend nothing had happened.
But Chen Changyi is not a saint, he is just an ordinary man, who also has dark thoughts and jealousy that he cannot express.
At first, it was enough for him to just not be hated, but gradually, he wanted more.
From the moment Shang Lu started to approach him, Shen Changyi would never let her go. Remarrying, divorcing, or falling in love with someone else were all impossible. He would never give her another chance. He would never see her leave him and get close to someone else. He would never see her eyes looking at someone else. He would not be able to bear it.
He wanted Shanglu to like him and belong to him.
No one can covet it.
