Ji Yun was utterly exasperated. They had only just come out of the room, and now they were saying such things again.
"Think what you want."
He was tired and wanted to cultivate; no matter how he explained, it was useless.
Upon hearing this, Yuexi's face changed, and she exclaimed loudly, "Whatever you want? Does that mean you have no feelings for me anymore? I knew it! You tricked me into getting married and having a child, and now you're saying things like this."
"You're being unreasonable..." Ji Yun suddenly paused. He couldn't say that, so he quickly went over and hugged her. "I've been with you the whole time. How could you not know what I'm thinking? Are you underestimating yourself? You're pregnant now, and your mood is fluctuating a lot. Don't let it affect you. How about we practice the Taoist scripture once first?"
Yuexi's mood improved a bit, and she suddenly realized that she might have been a little too impulsive. She lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry."
"We don't need to apologize to each other. It's my fault for not taking good care of your feelings. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Let's practice until tomorrow, and then we'll put up all the couplets and everything. This is our first New Year together..."
Ji Yun spoke gently, then instructed Xiao Huo to set up a barrier before the two began their cultivation.
A short while later, three girls came back with fishing rods and rang the doorbell.
Fire Phoenix flew to the door and mimicked the parrot's speech, saying, "It's fine to put it here."
"Wow!" The three girls exclaimed in surprise. It was a talking parrot, and they were immediately intrigued.
"Was that you speaking just now, little parrot?" a beautiful woman asked.
"Yes, the master is away from home," Fire Phoenix said.
"Can you come down and play with me?" The three girls were amazed, and one of them was recording a video on her phone.
"I don't play with two-legged creatures."
After Huo Feng finished speaking, she flew back to the artificial hill. Ji Yun had said that as long as it wasn't too outrageous, it was okay to say a few things.
"Two-legged creatures?"
"Hey, it actually called us two-legged creatures."
Wow! That's amazing.
The three beautiful women excitedly saved the video, ready to post it on a short video platform.
They felt that the trip was definitely worthwhile, as they had met a talking parrot.
In heaven.
Huo Ge and A Niu often went out to take on bounty missions. On their journey, they encountered a fairy, who would come to the immortal sect to find Huo Ge every few days afterward.
There was also a medicinal herb field inside the gate, but the herbs were growing slowly.
"I don't know why Master is always outside and doesn't care about the affairs of the sect at all."
While Xunmeng'er and Dong Yisi were watering the medicinal herb field, Xunmeng'er casually muttered a few words.
Dong Yisi said, "Although this master is better than the one I saw before, he is too mysterious and I can't see through him."
Xunmeng'er said, "You think so too? I think so too. They often run off somewhere with their master's wife, and they come to check on us every now and then, and then they leave again."
"And then there's my third senior brother. He's been spending a lot of time with that Bu Ling lately, even going on missions together. I suspect he likes her."
Xunmeng'er has run into them several times, and each time she sees the two of them chatting together.
......
Lunar New Year's eve.
Ji Yun sent her mother a red envelope, along with a small insect.
After returning, the two began preparing hot pot.
In the courtyard, the table was laden with seafood, beef, mutton, and several bottles of wine.
The horn of an electric scooter blared at the entrance.
Ji Yun was about to get up to open the door when he looked at Yue Xi and said, "You can't drink too much alcohol, you're pregnant now."
"It's alright, I have cultivation."
Yuexi finished her drink in one gulp, then looked at Ji Yun with a guilty look in her eyes and whispered, "Then I'll just drink one bottle, and I'll eat something instead, okay?"
"Eating more is fine. Although you have cultivation, you should still be careful."
As he walked to the door, the person who came in was his childhood friend, He Sanchuan.
"Chuanzi, long time no see." Ji Yun went over and patted him on the shoulder. He could only drink alcohol when he came back for the New Year every year.
"Brother Yun, you suddenly feel like a stranger to me. I didn't even recognize you when I came to your doorstep."
He Sanchuan was somewhat incredulous; in just one year, this man had risen to prominence, and everyone in the village was talking about him.
"Haha, what's there to be afraid of in a good brother? Come on, let's have hot pot together."
After bringing He Sanchuan in, she introduced him, saying, "This is your sister-in-law, her name is Yuexi, Yue as in moon and Xi as in the wind howling."
He Sanchuan laughed and said, "Happy New Year, sister-in-law. Just call me Chuanzi. I've played with Brother Yun since we were little. I wanted to come back for your wedding, but Brother Yun said there wouldn't be a banquet and told me to come back during the New Year. That was really unfair of me. Don't blame me today, sister-in-law. I'm going to get him really drunk."
Yuexi replied with a smile, "Okay, he's been really asking for a beating lately, so you help me get him drunk."
"Alright!" He Sanchuan sat down on the stool with a carefree attitude. Seeing the little parrot drinking apple cider vinegar next to him, he asked with some doubt, "This little parrot can drink apple cider vinegar? What kind is it? I've never seen it before."
Ji Yun said, "I picked it up on the road, then taught it some words, and it's quite smart."
"Oh? It can talk? How does it compare to a myna? We had a myna when we were kids that could say a few words, but it was a pity the cat ate it."
When they were young, the two of them raised a myna bird and even taught it to say a few words. They were very proud of it and would show it off everywhere. However, it was later eaten by their pet cat, which made them so angry that they grabbed something and went looking for the cat.
"Much smarter than that myna bird." Ji Yun picked up his glass and poured himself a glass of baijiu. "Come on, have a drink, Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!"
Yuexi clinked glasses with them, then went back to the sofa to watch TV and browse videos.
He Sanchuan glanced around and, seeing that it was just the two of them, asked in a low voice, "Brother Yun, what about your Sun Hanwei? You used to bring her back a few times before, but this year you got married to someone else. Of course, I'm not saying your sister-in-law is bad, I'm just a little curious."
Yuexi stopped looking at her phone, wanting to hear what they were talking about.
Ji Yunxin's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, "We broke up, which is a sad thing. But then I met your sister-in-law. She's a really good person, gentle and considerate, and she takes good care of people. She's also very beautiful. She's my lucky girl."
"Hmm? I remember when you brought Sun Hanwei back for the New Year last time, you said the same thing while we were drinking, saying she was gentle and beautiful..."
Before He Sanchuan could finish speaking, Ji Yun quickly interrupted him: "Come on, let's have a drink, I'll tell you slowly."
"I'm all ears. I just want to know the stories of the newcomers and the old ones." He Sanchuan clinked glasses with him.
"I broke up with Sun Hanwei back then, and then I met your sister-in-law. We spent a lot of time together and got to know each other..."
He was talking there.
Yuexi frowned and transmitted her voice to him, "You were the one who lied to me. All that talk about understanding each other and loving each other was just a lie you told me before we got married."
After Ji Yun finished speaking, he smiled and chatted with He Sanchuan as if nothing had happened, while secretly replying to Yue Xi: "I'm just finding a good reason for our meeting, so give me some face and don't eavesdrop."
