Chapter 94 Epilogue: Sweet Daily Life
◎You are the full moon on the fifteenth. ◎
Making a Yuexinzhan (a type of teacup) is a long process.
This thing not only needs to be nurtured by the spiritual power of relatives and friends, but also requires the unmarried couple to each take a strand of hair to make a knot of love within the incense stick's time, and then the two of them to guide it together.
Therefore, this matter cannot be explained in writing; they need to make the trip in person.
Mu Meng and Mu Qingheng stayed in the Celestial Clan for more than half a month, and then they discussed asking relatives and friends to make the Yuexin Cup.
Needless to say, my sister and brother-in-law had already prepared the Joyful Heart Cup while they were still in the Celestial Realm. The remaining people were arranged according to their distance from the Celestial Realm. Since Brother Sheng was not in the Celestial Realm, the first person we would naturally search for was Yun Jiuyan in the Cloud Marsh Realm.
Mu Meng thought to herself, it had been a long time since they had seen Brother Jiu Yan. The last time they met, Brother Jiu Yan was still Zhe Qing. At that time, he did his best to protect all the people of Yunze Realm and even stood in front of Brother Jiu Yan to take a fatal blow for him.
However, that time the fool just left a note and ran away, showing no integrity whatsoever.
Thinking back to that day, Mu Meng still felt both amused and exasperated. At that time, she didn't understand him and was almost driven half to death by that note.
Unexpectedly, when the two of them went to Yunze Realm together again, it was in this state.
...
Yun Jiuyan received the news early in the morning and had been waiting for them at the border. As they arrived, he led them inside while smiling and saying, "Mengmeng, Brother Mu, it's been a long time."
He said sincerely, "So much has happened over the years. You used to come to Yunze once a month. We have never been separated for so long."
Mu Meng smiled slightly. That was indeed the case. Yunze Realm was their second home, and in her heart, Brother Jiu Yan was no different from her own brother.
She exchanged a glance with Mu Qingheng. The wind blew through the stray hairs on his forehead, making his eyes appear even more gentle and warm. He silently and gently tightened his grip on her hand, saying nothing.
Mu Meng squeezed his hand back a little harder and smiled at Yun Jiuyan, saying, "It will be fine from now on. My brother and I will still come to see you on the eighth day of every month, just like before."
"That's great! It's settled, it's settled..." Yun Jiuyan smiled, joy and happiness reflected in his brows, his youthful face looked incredibly vibrant. "Hey, you guys should also persuade Sister Luo to come with her and her husband. She's never liked crowds since she was little, and she doesn't even realize how much we all miss her."
Mu Meng chuckled: "Okay, I know. I'll drag her here every month from now on."
“And Ze’er.”
"Ze'er was already thinking about it without even having to say anything."
In Yunze Realm, there were separate courtyards for the two of them, which were adjacent to each other. Yun Jiuyan first led them to Mu Meng's courtyard, "Brother Mu, Mengmeng, you two rest in the pavilion for a while, I will get you some tea."
As he walked out, he turned back and smiled, "Peach blossom tea, freshly made, you two are lucky to have caught it."
Mu Qingheng stood under the peach tree in the courtyard, glanced around slightly, and finally fixed his gaze on the two big trees in the northeast corner.
“I still remember that one of them was named Xiaoping and the other Xiaoan.” Mu Meng was thinking when she suddenly heard Mu Qingheng whispering beside her.
There are indeed two names… Mu Meng was a little embarrassed, “Brother, it’s fine if you just know it, don’t say it out loud.”
Mu Qingheng smiled faintly: "What's wrong?"
"The name is awful."
"How could that be?" Mu Qingheng put his arm around Mu Meng's slender waist and gently smoothed a few strands of her slightly messy hair. "I think it's very nice, the name is very cute."
Mu Meng turned to look at him. His gaze was deep and lingering, as if he were seeing a scene he missed through the two trees.
Although he was so gentle and reserved, she still caught a faint trace of regret in his eyes.
Mu Meng seemed to understand something, hooked her arm around his neck, and whispered in his ear with a smile, "Brother, shall we plant two trees in Kunlun Realm later? Just the two of us, you can name them... um... no, each of us can name one."
Mu Qingheng shook his head and chuckled, then reached out his slender index finger to gently stroke her cheek. Overwhelmed with emotion, he planted a light kiss on the corner of her lips.
This scene was witnessed by Yun Jiuyan as he walked in. He paused slightly and blinked.
Soon, a genuine smile of satisfaction appeared on his face, and a touching glint appeared in his bright eyes.
"Alright, so that's why you two suddenly decided to come see me. You must have something to ask me for help." He chuckled as he put down his tea, his face showing a knowing look.
With a slight smile, Mu Qingheng naturally picked up the teacup and poured tea. Yun Jiuyan was startled and quickly stood up to stop him, saying, "This is not allowed, Brother Mu. How can I let you pour tea for me? It's not proper etiquette, and if my father finds out, he'll definitely give me a beating."
Mu Qingheng was both amused and exasperated. "Jiuyan, since you call me elder brother, there's no need for such formalities."
He said softly, "It's just pouring you a bowl of tea. I've never taken good care of you before."
"What do you mean you didn't? Brother Mu, you must have forgotten, right?" Yun Jiuyan couldn't believe it, and then recounted in detail, "When I was little, I took Father's Holy Ancestor Gold Token to play with, and I accidentally lost it. If you hadn't stayed up all night to find it, my father would have skinned me alive; and that time, when I was bitten on the arm by the Zero Spirit Beast, if you hadn't set my bone in time, I'm afraid I would have lost an arm; and before I became an adult, I had a brain fart and went to break into the Peach Blossom Formation. Have you forgotten? You saved me, otherwise I would definitely have died there."
Mu Qingheng was somewhat stunned: "These things..."
Perhaps he didn't realize how strong the kindness in his Celestial Clan's bones was. Even with a heart of stone, it would repeatedly grow flesh from that stone. She had witnessed him cutting away pieces of flesh from his heart several times. Over the years, he probably lost count of how many times he had softened his heart.
Seeing Mu Qingheng's blank expression, Yun Jiuyan smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course, it's not just these things; the number of times you've taken care of me is countless."
Until recently, his identity suddenly changed, which involved many past events of the previous generation. Yun Jiuyan no longer knew how to sort out this mess, so he simply ignored it all and only remembered the goodness of the person in front of him: "Brother Mu, you know I'm a simple-minded person. I don't understand what happened to you and the rights and wrongs of the Heavenly Clan. I can only take care of myself."
He smiled and said earnestly and solemnly, "I will always remember you. You are my elder brother and my savior. If it weren't for you, I would have lost my life many times over. So no matter how the world praises or criticizes you, I will always stand with you."
Mu Qingheng silently squeezed Yun Jiuyan's shoulder and said gently, "Jiuyan, I am very happy that you call me my elder brother, but as for the benefactor... let's not mention it again."
Mu Meng understood Mu Qingheng's heart best, and she smiled and said, "Yes, Brother Jiu Yan, don't keep thinking about those things. We grew up together, we're family. What's the point of talking about favors among family members..."
She leaned closer to him mysteriously and teased, "You don't know, my brother is really shy now. He'll get embarrassed if you keep talking about it."
Mu Qingheng turned to look at Mu Meng, his eyes filled with tender and doting light.
She squinted her eyes and smiled at him like a crescent moon.
Mu Meng smiled and praised, "Brother Jiu Yan guessed it right away."
"I knew it..." Yun Jiuyan smiled, "This is important, I can't rush it, so you can stay here for a while longer."
...
All was quiet, with a bright moon shining in the sky.
Yun Jiuyan turned into the courtyard through the long corridor and immediately saw Mu Qingheng sitting on a bench in the courtyard.
"Brother Mu, why are you sitting outside?" He scratched his head, puzzled, and slowly walked over.
Mu Qingheng stood up and said gently, "I'll wait for you here."
Yun Jiuyan exclaimed in surprise, "You knew I would come?"
"Um……"
Seeing him smile slightly in acknowledgment, Yun Jiuyan's lips curved into a smile, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
After thinking for a moment, he said in a low voice, "Brother Mu, when it comes to intelligence and keen perception, there is truly no one in this world who can match you."
“I’ve always wondered what kind of woman could be worthy of you, and I just couldn’t imagine it… Of course, the current situation is even more unexpected, but on second thought it makes perfect sense. You and Mengmeng are indeed a perfect match.”
Mu Qingheng raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose. His eyes were clear and bright. He shook his head slightly and said, "I am far inferior to Mengmeng."
“Brother Mu, you’re being too modest. Compared to you, I’m far inferior…” Yun Jiuyan sat down opposite Mu Qingheng with a carefree air, a smile on his lips carrying a hint of melancholy, but also a sense of nonchalance. “I always knew we would have a conversation like this, but I never expected it to turn out like this.”
He had even already chosen the people to make the delightful cups for his wedding.
Yun Jiuyan shook his head and sighed, "I originally thought I would always stay by Mengmeng's side, and as her brother, I would naturally promise and guarantee her a peaceful life..." He smiled and raised his eyebrows slightly, "But I never expected that our roles would be reversed. You will be Mengmeng's husband in the future, and I will just be her brother."
Mu Qingheng was incredibly intelligent and perceptive, and immediately understood the deeper meaning behind Yun Jiuyan's words. "Thank you, Jiuyan."
He solemnly and solemnly promised, "I will cherish Mengmeng as a treasure and will never let her down."
He knew, of course, that his beloved girl was like the bright moon in the sky, and how many people had fallen for her beauty, only to be heartbroken and devastated when they finally gave her away.
How fortunate he was to receive the moon's favor.
Yun Jiuyan nodded gently and sighed with a smile, "Actually, I know in my heart, but I just want to hear you say it yourself."
He had long known that Brother Mu was deeply in love with Mengmeng, and he felt ashamed of himself for it. Now, it was truly time to let go completely.
"Jiuyan, what are your plans for the future?" Mu Qingheng looked at Yun Jiuyan's faint smile and knew that he was still feeling a little sad, so he changed the subject.
Yun Jiuyan looked up at the starry sky, and when he mentioned this, a hint of longing appeared in his voice: "Actually, I've lived in Yunze Realm all my life since I was a child, and I've hardly ever ventured out into the world. My father loved me dearly, and my elder brother spoiled me, so I just let myself go, and now I realize that was really wrong. I know that my father was a wandering knight in his youth, and I envied that kind of life. Now that I'm all grown up, it's time for me to do something I've always wanted to do."
Mu Qingheng clapped his hands and smiled, "That's good too. If you want to do it, then do it. Just remember to send me a message if you encounter any difficulties."
Yun Jiuyan nodded, his eyes brimming with youthful vigor and spirit: "Okay, definitely."
...
After Yun Jiuyan left, Mu Qingheng strolled back to his room, opened the door, and saw Mu Meng sitting at the table, idly cutting paper with scissors in one hand.
When she saw him return, her eyes lit up: "Brother, you're finally back! Why have you been chatting for so long? It's been more than half an hour."
Mu Qingheng smiled slightly, walked over and ruffled her hair, "So you didn't listen."
Mu Meng tilted her head and raised an eyebrow, "Am I being good?"
Mu Qingheng couldn't help but pinch her small nose. "Good girl."
His Mengmeng is so smart that even without listening to the content, he must have understood what Jiu Yan said to him. This behavior is naturally to protect Jiu Yan's face.
Such a wonderful girl, he simply didn't know how to cherish her enough.
Mu Qingheng sat down next to Mu Meng, his gaze falling on the paper cutting in her hand, and said with a light smile, "I could tell you were bored, so I told you to go back first. Sorry, Mengmeng."
Mu Meng smiled and handed over the scissors: "Going back alone is the same as going back alone, isn't it? Since you're sorry, why don't you cut me a good one?"
Mu Qingheng readily accepted the scissors, his entire being radiating indulgence. "What do you want?"
"The moon, the full moon."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingheng smiled and glanced at her before silently beginning to cut.
Mu Meng leaned back in his chair, waiting idly for a long time, until he was starting to feel drowsy. The pleasant scent of bamboo emanating from him lingered in his nostrils, crisp yet warm, making him feel inexplicably at ease.
Um? ?
Mu Meng's eyes were fixed on the exquisite paper-cutting in Mu Qingheng's hands, the man looking back at her with radiant eyes.
This is the full moon, isn't that her?
After realizing what had happened, Mu Meng leaned on Mu Qingheng's shoulder, overjoyed: It's rare to see this. Since they got together, this man has sometimes been so gentlemanly that he leaves her speechless. He can't stand the slightest flirting. He turns red in the ears with just a few words from her, let alone wanting to hear any sweet words from his mouth.
So innocent it's almost unbearable. Sometimes she's so exasperated with him that she wants to ask Sheng Sheng if Mu Qingheng is the only one like this, or if all the useless demons with hearts of stone and flesh of stone are like this.
Now it's possible; I've suddenly figured it out.
Just then, he smiled and said in a gentle yet earnest tone, "Mengmeng, it's getting late. You should go back. It's not right for us to stay together so late. What would you like to eat tomorrow morning? I'll get it and come find you then."
Mu Meng: "..."
So annoying!
