Lan Zhi frowned, "So what exactly did you want from me when you married me...just to make it easier for you to cultivate in the future?"
Shangguan Jianxing said, "Not entirely, because choosing a spouse is a very important matter. You suddenly want to get married, and this decision is too hasty. I'm worried that you might meet the wrong person and regret it in the future..."
It is true that he did not like or love Lan Zhi, he just regarded Lan Zhi as a tool to help him practice, but human beings are not plants or trees, who can be heartless? After knowing each other for a long time, Shangguan Jianxing had already regarded Lan Zhi as a friend in his heart, and he could not bear to see his friend "go astray".
Lan Zhi said, "If I really meet the wrong person, it means it's my fate."
If I were to be reborn and meet another unfaithful man, that would be too bad. Besides, Jun Weihe is the biological father of the child, so he should be different from Yuan Zhan...
Thinking of Yuan Zhan, Lan Zhi also thought that now that Prince Rui was dead, it was time to get rid of Jiang Qingcheng.
Shangguan Jianxing asked, "Has the wedding date been set?"
Lan Zhi replied: "Five days later."
"So soon?" Shangguan Jianxing was still thinking that if it was one or two months later, he would work harder during this time to make his presence felt in front of Lan Zhi, trying to get her to change her mind and not marry Prince Jing, but... five days later, it was really too fast!
Lan Zhi nodded. She didn't want to mention her pregnancy. What if Shangguan Jianxing imagined that Prince Jing had used dishonorable means to obtain her, thought she was pregnant, and concluded that Prince Jing was a bad person? Lan Zhi would have to waste her time explaining it to him. So she said vaguely, "I owe Prince Jing a debt, and marrying him is a form of compensation."
Shangguan Jianxing asked, "Isn't there another way to compensate?"
Lan Zhi said: "No."
"...Okay." Shangguan Jianxing sighed. He felt that Lan Zhi, now married, would be a married woman. It might be inconvenient for him to visit her every now and then. Besides, what did Lan Zhi owe Prince Jing? She actually had to sacrifice herself. It didn't seem worth it. Shangguan Jianxing wanted to persuade her again, but seeing Lan Zhi's clear expression and determined gaze, he figured she wouldn't change her mind easily, so he just kept quiet.
"Don't worry, even though I'm married, if you want to use astrology on me in the future, you can always come to me..." Lan Zhi smiled at him, "Also, you helped me find my eldest brother's whereabouts. If Songhe comes to cause trouble for you in the future, I will stand in front of you. As long as I'm alive, I will never let you die in front of me."
After hearing her words, Shangguan Jianxing felt a little touched. He felt that he had not misjudged Lan Zhi. Lan Zhi was still very reliable at critical moments. However, he did not like hiding behind women. He said, "Don't mention the word death all the time. It's unlucky. Besides... since you want to get married, I'd better go home and see if I can ask the ancestor to take me to find the good god and remove the Lord of All Evils' gaze on me... and bring back some spirit stones by the way. Is there anything you want?"
Lan Zhi said: "No, I'm planning to get married and have children, and live a quiet and lazy life for a while."
Hearing this, Shangguan Jianxing looked disappointed. Lan Zhi was only a teenager and was about to get married and have children. But then he thought, this is also a good idea. "The stronger the cultivator, the less likely it is to conceive. It's better for you to resolve this important matter in your life sooner... I'm packing up and getting ready to leave today."
Lan Zhi said, "I'll see you off."
"No need," Shangguan Jianxing refused. He waved his hand disinterestedly, "I'll go by myself."
The emerald green ring on Shangguan Jianxing's hand is a teleportation stone. If he wants to go home, he can directly activate the teleportation stone. Each teleportation stone can only be used once and will break after use. He actually doesn't have much luggage to pack. He just went back to the house to get a few clothes, put them into the storage space, and then activated the teleportation stone in front of Lan Zhi.
Transparent ripples appeared in the air around Shangguan Jianxing, and his whole body gradually became transparent and vague. Before leaving, he smiled at Lan Zhi, his lips were red, his teeth were white, and his peach blossom eyes were gorgeous and infinitely beautiful, as if thousands of flowers were blooming before his eyes.
Lan Zhi watched his body disappear into the air, and stood there for a while, not knowing what she was thinking. After a long time, she took a step and went to Jiang Qingcheng's room, but found that she was not in the house. Instead, Butler Chen was standing outside Jiang Qingcheng's yard, watering the flowers leisurely.
"Uncle Chen, do you know where cousin Qingcheng went?" Lan Zhi asked.
Butler Chen said, "I don't know. She's been leaving early and coming back late late recently. I once followed her out, but she spotted me as soon as I left the mansion gate, so I couldn't follow her any further."
Lan Zhi asked: "How late does she usually come back?"
"I'm not sure. Sometimes I come back when it's completely dark, and sometimes I come back when the sun is about to set."
"Okay." Lan Zhi nodded. As long as she came back, she would kill Jiang Qingcheng tonight to avoid any more trouble.
Lan Zhi lost her sleepiness. Thinking of the several "pets" she had raised, she felt that she was a really irresponsible owner. That day, when the Maple Spirit Achi came back to report the news, Lan Zhi put him into the space of the White Jade Tree. As for the little hamster Amber, he ran outside and had not returned for a long time. And the ferocious beast White Jade... she didn't know if he was still alive.
Lan Zhi had a rare moment of conscience today and summoned Bai Feicui and Achi from the white jade tree.
The moment Bai Feicui saw Lan Zhi, she instantly burst into tears.
“Woo… wooo…”
The owner finally remembered it, and it suspected that it would be exiled for life!
Ah Chi didn't have any special reaction. He just stared at Lan Zhi with his red pupils, his thin lips tightly pursed, looking a bit cool. He was very small, still only the size of a palm, his body suspended in mid-air, wearing a tight dark red shirt, outlining his thin and powerful figure. If his body could become as big as a normal person, it might be scary, because his eyes were sticky and cold, like a poisonous snake on the hunt, but now he was only the size of a palm, which invisibly weakened the murderous aura on him and added a bit of cuteness.
At least in Lanzhi's eyes, Achi is small and cute.
She waved her hand, and a smile appeared on Achi's lips. He ran towards her quickly. Lanzhi stretched out her palm and let Achi stand in her palm.
"Achi, you have made a great contribution this time by tipping off the enemy. How should I reward you?" Lan Zhi asked.
Ah Chi rubbed his head against her fingers affectionately and said, "Master, I don't want any reward. It's you who gave me life. According to the human race, you should be my... mother?"
Lan Zhi: “…”
No, I'm not.
"You were born in the maple forest, not my child..." Lan Zhi tried to explain.
Ah Chi tilted his head and asked doubtfully, "But ever since I can remember, I only remember you. It was you who created me. Aren't you my mother?"
Lan Zhi thought to herself, how could a mother sign a soul master-servant contract with her child? At this moment, Ah Chi looked sad and said, "Mother, do you think I'm too weak?"
He had unconsciously changed the way he addressed Lan Zhi from "master" to "mother".
