Chapter 70 Lovesickness
"Yao'er's back?" Qi Men looked at Su Yuyao with a smile, but noticed that Su Yuyao's lips were pouting, so he asked in surprise, "Oh! Why is Yao'er unhappy?"
“Miss Yao’er,” Guan Xiao noticed Su Yuyao’s displeasure, “Is it… that the gladiatorial combat wasn’t interesting? Or… that Yue’er bullied you?”
"The gladiator fight was amazing, incredibly amazing! But Brother Yue'er..." Su Yuyao turned around to look at Guan Yue behind her, "...he seems to be feeling unwell..."
"Oh dear! Yue'er!" Guan Xiao was shocked and distressed when she saw her son's face was flushed and covered with red rashes. "What happened? You've got another rash? This time, not only is there a rash, but your skin is also red. Has Granny Zhong taken a look?"
Guan Yue nodded somewhat awkwardly, "Grandma Zhong said it's nothing."
Guan Xiao gestured around Guan Yue's side for a while, still not daring to touch his precious son. He said with a hint of displeasure, "Why is it so serious? Did you run into something evil?! Tell your father, and I'll have someone clean it up!"
"Ah?" Su Yuyao, who was standing to the side listening, quickly explained, "Lord Guan Xiao, I'm not dirty, and besides... I didn't mean to... It was the White Tiger who scared me with the paper figure, and I got scared... I mistook Brother Yue'er for Xuanfeng, and... I jumped into Brother Yue'er's arms..."
Su Yuyao blushed more and more as she spoke. She didn't understand when she had started to feel ashamed!
"Ah...ah?" Guan Xiao awkwardly rubbed his nose and looked at Qi Men, who was also somewhat surprised.
"Yao'er, you... you fell into Young Master Guan Yue's arms?!" Qi Men was still somewhat incredulous.
"I'm not dirty... I changed into clean clothes and even had Bai Er wipe my shoes..." Su Yuyao looked at Guan Yue, who was blushing and turning purple, and gradually became angry and embarrassed. "Why are you so disgusted with me?!"
"Xuanfeng! You're back!" Feihua suddenly rushed out and pounced on Guan Yue while everyone was still stunned.
"Ugh—!" Guan Yue pushed Fei Hua away and began to vomit uncontrollably.
"Son!" Guan Xiao stamped his feet anxiously upon seeing this scene, but dared not help Guan Yue, much less pull Fei Hua.
"Xuanfeng!" Feihua saw Guan Yue vomiting uncontrollably, but still rushed over to him.
Qimen grabbed Feihua's arm and shouted, "Granny Fangchun! Bai'er! Quickly help Fairy Feihua back!"
"Yes! Lord Qimen!" Fangchun and Bai'er rushed over and dragged Feihua into the room.
Su Yuyao stood next to Guan Yue, bent down and looked at Guan Yue, who was covered in snot and tears, "Brother Yue'er, why did you throw up? Why don't I take you home!"
"No need... Huff..." Guan Yue vomited for a while before slowly calming down.
Seeing Guan Yue gradually returning to normal, Guan Xiao finally felt relieved. "Yue'er, go back and get some rest..."
"Father, Lord Qimen, I... I'll go back now..." Guan Yue raised his hand to cover his disheveled appearance and retreated.
"Brother Yue'er! You should rest well tomorrow, I won't bother you!" Although Su Yuyao felt sorry for Guan Yue, it was a good excuse to rest for a day!
As dusk fell, Bai Er carried hot water into the room, closed the doors and windows, and said to Su Yuyao, "Miss, wipe yourself down and rest!"
"Ugh? Wipe me again? You wipe me every day! I'm not dirty!" Su Yuyao said reluctantly, fiddling with the bell on her chest as she lay on the bed.
"Miss, don't be lazy!" Bai Er pulled Su Yuyao up, helping her take off her clothes as she said with a smile, "Lord Xuanfeng has been gone for so long, what if he suddenly comes back one day? Shouldn't you... be prepared?"
Su Yuyao suddenly blushed. The thought of Xuan Feng made her heart itch uncontrollably, and her whole body became sensitive...
Bai Er folded Su Yuyao's clothes and placed them on the bed, then took off the longevity lock and placed it on the desk next to the basin.
Su Yuyao sat obediently in the basin of water, her fair and voluptuous body clearly imprinted in Xuanfeng's mind...
...
The wind howled outside the cave, the gloomy sky gathered dark clouds, and the muffled thunder foreshadowed an impending downpour.
"Lord Xuanfeng, the weather here has been so unpredictable lately. It's sunny and clear during the day, but as soon as it gets dark, it starts to rain, and once it starts raining, who knows how long it will last..."
Xuanfeng stood at the cave entrance and looked around. He then turned to the imposing general beside him and said, "Leiming, although Jiude Valley is located at the border of the north and south, it shouldn't be experiencing such frequent torrential rains. Have you investigated where the recent rains have come from?"
Lei Ming approached Xuan Feng and whispered in his ear, "I have investigated privately and found that these strange rains have been originating from the South China Sea. Every few days, a typhoon or tsunami forms on the sea and rushes inland. I heard that Tide Lord's hometown was not spared either; two of the seven islands were destroyed!"
“Tide Lord…” Xuanfeng narrowed his eyes…
Su Yuyao's long hair was pulled back by her white ear, revealing her bright forehead, thick eyelashes, plump cheeks, fleshy chin, and graceful neck.
Bai Er gently wiped Su Yuyao's defined collarbone and full body with a blue handkerchief dipped in warm water, unintentionally touching Su Yuyao and causing her to flutter for a moment.
"Ah!" She blushed and covered her chest, saying shyly, "Don't touch me!"
"Huh?" Bai Er was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Yuyao, who was blushing, and instantly understood.
She covered her mouth and chuckled. "Miss, you miss Lord Xuanfeng, don't you?"
Su Yuyao's heart began to itch again. She avoided Bai Er's gaze, lowered her head and secretly glanced at the bell on the desk, muttering, "Who misses him... I wonder if he misses me too..."
Bai Er smiled, pursing her lips, and soaked a handkerchief in warm water. While gently rubbing her firm breasts, she squeezed out the water from the handkerchief and sprinkled it on the peach blossoms, making the pink blossoms even more moist...
Xuanfeng swallowed hard, regaining his composure, and continued, "Even if there's a typhoon or tsunami at sea, it shouldn't affect this area. There are mountains and basins between the coast and here. Even if there is an impact, it shouldn't be such a torrential downpour. This is too strange..."
"Lord Xuanfeng, please have some water!" Lei Ming brought over a cup of tea and said, "This humble servant has also suspected that such frequent floods might be man-made, but since Empress Yimu hasn't said anything, this humble servant..."
Su Yuyao looked down and counted the folds of flesh on her belly, exclaiming in surprise, "One, two, three! I've gotten three layers of folds already?!"
"What's there to be afraid of? Anyway, Lord Xuanfeng likes it!" Bai Er said with a smile.
"Hehe, that's true!"
Su Yuyao pouted her little belly, letting Bai Er wipe her fair skin. Then she stood up, turned her back to the bell, and bent down to let Bai Er clean her pink vulva...
Xuanfeng looked at the image of a peach stuck in his mind and the sliver of water between it, and he couldn't help but clench his teacup and drink the tea in one gulp.
"Quick! Pour another cup of tea for Lord Xuanfeng!" Lei Ming glanced at Xuanfeng, who was constantly swallowing, and then shouted to the guards at the cave entrance, "Get a bigger teacup!"
"Ah, no need!" Xuanfeng cleared his throat somewhat awkwardly and said, "Since Mother Yi has not given any instructions, it means that Mother Yi must have other ideas. In that case, we don't need to speculate. Protecting Jiude Valley is the most important thing!"
"Yes, sir!" Lei Ming replied, bowing his head.
Suddenly, thunder rumbled in the sky, and a gust of wind swept by, ruffling Xuanfeng's dust-covered clothes.
"My lord, the weather is unpredictable. Let's not travel today. Let's go inside and rest!" Lei Ming advised in a low voice.
Xuanfeng glanced at the weather outside, then looked at the eagle inside the cave, which was also covered in dust, and sighed, "Alright, we won't leave today."
Upon hearing this, Flying Eagle finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lei Ming, holding a torch, led Xuan Feng and Fei Ying into the cave. They followed the winding stone steps down the mountain and emerged from another entrance, reaching the cliff face inside the mountain.
Xuanfeng gazed at the bottom of the cliff where the campfire flickered and asked, "How many people live here now?"
"The people living in this valley are all people I brought out from the Wuji Dao. Including the branches in the other five valleys, there are nearly 10,000 people in total!" Lei Ming said softly.
"Hmm, let's go down and take a look." After saying that, Xuanfeng squatted down and felt around on the edge of the cliff, then grabbed a vine.
He wrapped the vines around his arms, leaped off the cliff, and slowly landed at the bottom.
"Hey! Lord Xuanfeng! You've arrived! Come on, have a few drinks with us old buddies!" The men at the bottom of the cliff were overjoyed to see Xuanfeng arrive and quickly gave up the warmest spot by the campfire.
Xuanfeng walked over with a smile, sat down without any ceremony, took the wine jar, and drank it down in one gulp...
After washing up, Su Yuyao sat on the bed in shorts and a t-shirt, playing with the little gadgets she had brought.
Bai Er sat on the footstool, massaging Su Yuyao's feet. "Miss, was today's gladiatorial match interesting?"
"It's amazing!" Su Yuyao perked up immediately when the topic of gladiatorial combat came up. "Bai Er, next time there's a gladiatorial combat, I'll take you and Fei Hua to watch. Don't underestimate the children of Jiujiao Mountain just because they're young; they're all amazing! They can conjure weapons to fight and they even know some magic!"
The mention of magic reminded Su Yuyao of being frightened to tears by the white tiger, and she suddenly felt ashamed. "That white tiger is so awful! It scared me to tears today. When Xuanfeng comes back, I'll definitely make him teach him a lesson! Who told him to bully me..."
Bai Er couldn't help but laugh and said, "The one who's most embarrassed today should be Young Master Guan Yue!"
"Ah? Hahahaha!" Su Yuyao thought of Guan Yue's face flushed red with rashes, and felt much better. "That's right! Brother Yue'er is the most embarrassing one!"
"You really threw yourself into his arms?"
"I didn't mean to! I thought it was Xuanfeng, that's why I pounced! But I realized the smell was off, so I quickly backed away! Who would have thought... he still dislikes me!" Su Yuyao fiddled with the wolf fang, then suddenly remembered she hadn't seen Ruixue. "Where's Ruixue?"
"Lord Qimen said that Ruixue is becoming more and more like a dog, and he's worried that it will be difficult to explain when he returns to the Wolf Clan, so he sent him back to Chengma Peak first," Bai Er said calmly.
"Ruixue is nothing like a dog! How could you send her away without my permission?!" Su Yuyao muttered angrily. "I was hoping to sneak off with him to Chengma Peak! Now that's all ruined!"
"Miss! Are you really going to secretly go back with Ruixue?!" Bai Er pressed hard on Su Yuyao's feet. "Lord Qi already knows!"
"Ouch, be gentle! How did Lord Qimen know?!" Su Yuyao asked, her nose twitching.
“Ruixue is a very honest person! He secretly asked Lord Guanxiao for directions to Chengma Peak, and Lord Guanxiao then told Lord Qimen about it. Lord Qimen then told Ruixue to go back first…”
"Eh... I was thinking of going to see Dad! I wonder how the Wolf Clan is doing, and if Mom is going to have a little brother... Aha..." Su Yuyao yawned, rubbed her eyes and lay down. Bai Er got up and covered Su Yuyao with the blanket.
Su Yuyao looked at the bell beside her pillow, "Xuanfeng... when will you come back..."
Xuan Feng looked at Su Yuyao's delicate nose and pouting lips, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his face. He glanced at the burly bachelors around him and suddenly felt a subtle sense of superiority.
"Lord Xuanfeng, you've been sitting here laughing for ages! What's making you so happy?" Lei Ming couldn't help but ask.
"Exactly! Exactly! Although you don't talk much before, you wouldn't keep smiling like this!"
"Tell us what good news you have so we can all be happy!"
"That's right! Tell me about it!"
"Tell me about it..."
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions.
Looking at Su Yuyao sleeping soundly, Xuanfeng said proudly, "I've settled down in the wolf clan. I'm a son-in-law chosen by the wolf clan, and my wife is the eldest daughter of the wolf clan, Sa Ningbao, who is... Su Yuyao!"
"Ah...hehe..." Lei Ming said somewhat awkwardly, "It's really...unexpected..."
"Um...congratulations..." The people who had been cheering earlier didn't know how to respond.
"Thank you all!" Xuanfeng readily agreed, dispelling everyone's concerns.
Seeing Xuanfeng's happy smile, Lei Ming finally dared to bring up the topic of Su Yuyao, "Back in Huangshang City, I had the honor of meeting Miss Yao'er. She was a clever and lovely child who could also tell fortunes. If it weren't for her pointing out the way, we might have been cannon fodder by now!"
Xuanfeng was captivated by Su Yuyao's adorable sleeping posture when he heard Leiming's words and asked in confusion, "Leiming, what do you mean by that?"
"My lord, the Wuji Dao appears calm on the surface, but undercurrents are surging beneath!" Lei Ming lowered his voice and said earnestly, "Initially, Lord Zeyuan was focused on Yu Nu'e's affairs and didn't pay much attention to the Wuji Dao, so everything was handled by Lord Chaoxi alone. Although there were some areas where he wasn't well-received, it was generally acceptable. But one day, Lord Zeyuan suddenly took over everything and rejected all of Lord Chaoxi's decisions! This made Lord Chaoxi look very bad! And their first step in every reform is to purge!"
"How could this happen?" Although Xuanfeng knew that Chaoxi and Zeyuan had a rift, he never expected that it would involve innocent lives!
"That's why we have such high respect for Miss Yao'er! If it weren't for her, we would have been wiped out long ago!" Lei Ming offered Xuan Feng a jar of wine and said, "If we ever see Miss Yao'er again, we will definitely kowtow and thank her!"
Xuanfeng took the wine jar and drank it all in one gulp with gusto...
The campfire crackled, mingling with the sounds of snores rising and falling.
Xuanfeng lay on a flat rock, looking at his colleagues who were also sleeping fully clothed, and seemed to see his former carefree self. He sniffed the mingled smell of sweat, feet, and alcohol in the cave. He had never paid attention to this smell when he was alone before, but now he couldn't help but dust off his clothes. Even if he couldn't be as clean as Guan Yue, he couldn't be too dirty.
He savored the memory of Su Yuyao's soft yet supple body. Although he couldn't hold her in his arms, he felt incredibly at ease and sweet. "You little rascal, I miss you so much too..."
Xuanfeng couldn't suppress his impulse any longer...
