Were they really going to let Wen Ziqing become a live-in son-in-law? Zhou Yuanyuan shook her head. Forget whether Wen Yiran and the others would agree. Even if they did, Wen Ziqing would be drowned in the spit of outsiders. Flattery? Selling himself for power? All this dirty water would be thrown at Wen Ziqing.
Everyone lives among people, not in isolation. If Wen Ziqing really "marries" her, even if she earns promotions and rises to a higher position based on her own abilities, others will say she's relying on her father-in-law's family. With so much gossip, can Wen Ziqing still maintain a calm mind? With her heart in turmoil, will she still be the Wen Ziqing Zhou Yuanyuan loves?
Oh! One thing after another, it's really annoying!
Suddenly, Zhou Yuanyuan wanted to find someone to chat with.
It was late at night, and Zhao Yunxiang must have fallen asleep. Besides, Zhou Yuanyuan didn't want to tell Zhao Yunxiang about her supposed fear of marriage. She was only sixteen, and if Zhao Yunxiang knew she was thinking about "married life," she'd definitely laugh at her.
Or... ask Xiaoyu? Xiaoyu has lived for millions of years, so she should be knowledgeable and experienced, right?
After Zhou Yuanyuan made up her mind, her soul immersed itself in the sea of consciousness.
In the sea of consciousness, the waves were hitting the embankment one after another, and the Rainbow Bridge was still gorgeous and dazzling, but Zhou Yuanyuan did not see Xiaoyu playing on the Rainbow Bridge.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu." Zhou Yuanyuan called out.
"Master, here, Xiaoyu is here." Xiaoyu's voice came from the small island. Ever since the "Tree of Life" appeared in Zhou Yuanyuan's sea of consciousness, Xiaoyu sat under the tree every day, either practicing or observing the changes of the "Tree of Life".
Zhou Yuanyuan had already come to Xiaoyu in a flash. Xiaoyu was still the teddy bear, staring at a leaf on the tree with her wet eyes wide open.
"Huh?" Zhou Yuanyuan exclaimed softly.
"Master, you noticed it too, right? The little tree looks a little wilted today!" Xiaoyu was a little frustrated.
"Xiaoyu, don't worry about Xiaoshu for now. I'm a little upset." Zhou Yuanyuan sat down next to Xiaoyu, looking a little lonely.
"Upset? Why?" Xiaoyu felt a ray of light appear in her mind, then disappeared in a flash.
"Hmm! I don't know either." Zhou Yuanyuan spoke truthfully. It was precisely because she was upset that she thought so much about marriage, Wen Ziqing, and those extremely bad relatives.
"Let Xiaoyu think about it." Xiaoyu searched her memory for a moment and then asked, "Master, are you feeling restless? Or are you feeling like you want to kill someone or burn something?"
Murder and arson? She's not a serial killer. Why does Xiaoyu have to make it sound so horrifying? Zhou Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Xiaoyu.
"Master, hurry up! The situation is serious!" The anxiety in Xiaoyu's eyes was not fake.
Zhou Yuanyuan felt it carefully before answering, "I am a little restless."
"Oh no! Something bad must be happening to you or is about to happen." Xiaoyu said affirmatively.
What? Zhou Yuanyuan didn't quite understand what Xiaoyu said, so she just stared with her eyes wide open.
"Master, do you still remember the mantras you practiced before?" Xiaoyu reminded Zhou Yuanyuan.
A verbal spell? Zhou Yuanyuan certainly remembered it; it was the first technique she learned after becoming a cultivator, designed to block Xiaoyu's ability to "read her mind." But... what did her irritability have to do with a verbal spell? Zhou Yuanyuan had been using this technique on Xiaoyu for a long time.
"As the master's cultivation level improves, the spells will also exert different powers. Master, you are now a Nascent Soul cultivator, and the spells will develop the function of "prediction". Every time your mood changes, it represents what will happen. For example, if the master is in a bad mood, it means that something bad is about to happen. If the master is in a good mood, it means that something good is about to happen..." Xiaoyu explained paratha.
Wow! He's become a charlatan in a split second? Zhou Yuanyuan was amazed.
"Master, the fact that you are so restless now means that something small and bad is about to happen. If you are so irritated that you want to kill or set fire to something, then something big is about to happen, something so big that it may cost your life." Xiaoyu explained.
"Something's upsetting?" Zhou Yuanyuan mentally counted the people around her. General Zhou, Zhou Zhixin, and Zhao Yunxiang were sleeping soundly in the room. Yu Xiaohan's Qiankun Mirror hadn't given any warning, and the protective formation she had set up at Zhao Qingshan's hadn't responded to anything either. Only Wen Ziqing...
Zhou Yuanyuan thought of Wen Ziqing and her heart skipped a beat.
Zhou Yuanyuan thought about the reason why she was particularly irritable tonight. Wasn’t it because Wen Ziqing left and didn’t send back any message?
Before returning from Zhaojiagou, Zhou Yuanyuan gave Wen Ziqing a jade talisman for communication.
This jade talisman was different from ordinary paper cranes. Zhou Yuanyuan had Xiaoyu refine it specifically for her. It was similar to the cell phone Zhou Yuanyuan had used in her previous life. Not only could it be used for calls, but when necessary, it could be infused with a bit of spiritual energy, transforming into a water mirror to reveal the other person's face and voice.
When Wen Ziqing received the jade talisman, he even went to Daqing Mountain to talk to Zhou Yuanyuan. Wen Ziqing also said happily that with the communication jade talisman, even if he couldn't return to Jingcheng for a few years, he could still see Zhou Yuanyuan every day.
After Wen Ziqing and Zhou Yuanyuan confirmed their relationship, they'd been glued to each other every day, eager to spend every moment together. Wen Ziqing was back at the Wen family home today, and no matter how busy he was, he should have activated the communication jade talisman to video call Zhou Yuanyuan before bed.
But not today.
Could it be that her previous restlessness was due to the lack of news about Wen Ziqing?
Zhou Yuanyuan took a deep breath, hugged Xiaoyu, gave it a kiss on the top of its head, and then slipped out of her sea of consciousness.
"Hehehe..." Xiaoyu raised a paw and touched the place on her head where Zhou Yuanyuan had kissed her, revealing a silly smile.
Wen's family, late at night when everyone is asleep.
He Jingjing, holding a small jade bottle in her hand, slipped into Wen Ziqing's room. Looking at Wen Ziqing's "sleeping" figure on the bed, she couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.
After tonight, even if Wen Ziqing didn't want to marry her, He Jingjing, she would have a way to make him obey her for the rest of his life, with only her in his eyes and heart. Zhou Yuanyuan? Get out of here!
"Shenxiandao" and "Thousand Day Drunk" were brought out by He Jingjing from the Langyuan Secret Realm. She had personally seen the headmaster "Liu Jingyu" use them on disobedient female cultivators.
