57 The Evil Master 08
◎The wife will never know the cause and effect of this.◎
At the beginning of autumn, the weather has not yet cooled down significantly. The lush green branches and leaves are gradually turning a little yellow, and the wind blows, leaving only a rustling sound.
The maid quietly led the way in front, and a group of Xihe Sect monks followed behind.
The mountain road is winding. From a distance, the group of people look like the golden road paved with scattered inharmonious aqua blue and dark green.
The Xihe Sect reveres the color gold. Except for the two mountain masters, everyone from the sect leader to the elders wears golden clothes.
The clan leader's attire is dark gold, while the elders' attire is a lighter gold.
The Shangqing Mountain Master, Fuwei, was wearing a water-blue long dress that looked like flowing water ripples, and she looked ethereal. She was also chatting with the Taiqing Mountain Master, Yinghua, who was beside her, about the Venerable's wife being pregnant.
Fu Wei stroked the storage ring on her right hand. Her handsome features were slightly smiling as she said succinctly, "After a hundred years of tossing and turning, I've finally gotten it."
Yinghua held a folding fan in his hand, shaking his head and sneering.
Fuwei, Xixuan, Su Yanmei and he are of similar age. Xixuan and Su Yanmei are disciples of the Lord of Yuqing Mountain, Fuwei is the first disciple of the Lord of Shangqing Mountain, and he is the only direct disciple of the Lord of Taiqing Mountain.
When they were still disciples of the Xihe Sect, the four of them had the fastest cultivation speed among their fellow disciples and were often compared with each other.
Ying Hua has a gentle personality, and it doesn't matter that he is inferior to Xi Xuan in Taoism.
Fu Wei, on the other hand, worked hard and practiced day and night, hoping to surpass Su Yanmei in formation.
The opponents who had fought for nearly a hundred years were now able to put aside their grudges, maintain a calm attitude, and be sincerely happy for each other after more than two hundred years.
Ying Hua had the face of a beautiful woman. Because she didn't like going out and never saw the sun, her dark green attire made her skin appear even paler. He waved his folding fan and spoke softly, "This is the bloodline the Phoenix Clan has longed for. Those elders frequently visit Yuqing Mountain. You can imagine how much they value it."
"Junior Sister Su is now the Phoenix Clan's precious treasure. You'd better not get into conflict with her later."
"I know, I know." Fu Wei waved her hand casually, "She's pregnant now, how could I bother with her?"
The two of them chatted with each other, and the others were also whispering to each other, discussing what auspicious words to say when giving the gifts later.
The monk's speed was much faster than that of an ordinary person. Soon, he reached the end of the mountain road and entered a winding corridor with carved beams and painted buildings.
When they passed through the archway one by one and arrived at the residence of Venerable Xixuan, everyone waited respectfully outside the courtyard.
The maid who led the way went in to ask for instructions.
At that moment, a handsome young man sat in the courtyard, facing the chessboard before him, holding two black and white pieces, playing a solitary game. He lowered his head slightly, his collar snow-white, beneath a golden robe embroidered with phoenix patterns. His hair crown was inlaid with gold and jade, and his jet-black, smooth hair was tied up high, cascading down behind him. As he placed the pieces, a few strands fell across his shoulders.
From a distance, it looks like a bright and sunny day.
The people standing outside the courtyard could only see the venerable one standing high above them, as indifferent as ever, with an expression that was out of touch with the world, like an immortal sitting high in the clouds.
What no one noticed was that this "immortal" who was sitting upright with a calm expression had an unusually bulging abdomen under the stone table.
She is more than four months pregnant, and her belly looks like that of an ordinary woman who is more than five months pregnant.
The maid didn't dare to look any longer, she lowered her head and waited respectfully on the side.
Xi Xuan glanced at the people outside the yard and was about to send them away casually when Su Yanmei happened to bring out a bowl of black tonic soup from the kitchen.
The woman was wearing a purple gauze dress, her body was slim and her belly was flat, with no signs of pregnancy.
When he smelled the familiar disgusting fishy smell, Xixuan, who didn't have time to seal his sense of smell, the chess piece between his fingers fell with a click. He covered his lips tightly and made a retching sound.
Everyone waiting outside the courtyard quietly: "?"
After vomiting twice, Xixuan remembered to block his sense of smell. He barely stopped dry heaving, slid his throat twice, and blinked away the tears from the corners of his eyes. The corners of his eyes were slightly red, and he had an unusual sense of fragility.
The outside of the courtyard suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
In these hundreds of years, who has ever seen the Venerable like this?
Especially in contrast to his wife, who has a flat belly and a slim figure, his behavior seems particularly strange.
Everyone's eyes lingered on the two of them.
Before coming, Fuwei had done some research, such as some pregnancy reactions and taboos. So, the gifts she brought were various clothes, shoes, and socks for the children made by the most skilled embroiderer in Qingxi Town using the softest Tencel silk.
A gift that can never go wrong.
But when she got here, she did not find any signs of Su Yanmei being pregnant. Instead, the high and mighty venerable one was vomiting like a pregnant woman.
Fuwei couldn't help but glance at Yinghua beside her.
Ying Hua opened his folding fan with a loud noise, silently covering his face with it, his eyes slightly open, indicating that he didn't want to get involved in this mess.
"Hearing that your Madam is pregnant, the leader of Xihe Sect, along with the mountain masters and elders, has come here to congratulate you and your Madam." Fuwei said loudly outside the courtyard.
Having already noticed something was amiss, he planned to turn a blind eye and pretend he knew nothing. Thinking of being casually dismissed by the Venerable, the Sect Leader led his men away and asked, “?”
no……
You, the Lord of Shangqing Mountain, are curious if you want to, but what's the big deal about pulling me out?
Feeling the two gazes coming from the courtyard, the leader of Xihe Sect lowered his head, so nervous that sweat was coming out of his forehead.
It seems like this group of people accidentally revealed a huge secret...
The woman in the aqua-blue dress beside him was smiling and talking, even leaning over the archway: "Your Excellency, Madam, may I come in?"
Su Yanmei smiled slightly, did not respond, but went to look at Xixuan.
Xi Xuan lowered his eyes, and the hand hanging under the stone table gradually curled up.
The elders knew about his pregnancy since he was pregnant, and the Phoenix clan had been looking forward to this child for a long time, so they came to Yuqing Mountain from time to time, and Xixuan did not have much resistance.
But this does not mean that he is willing to reveal his pregnancy in public.
On the contrary, if possible, Xixuan didn't want anyone to know.
But Xixuan knew better than anyone that in the current situation, even if he drove them all away, the news of his pregnancy could not be hidden.
The young man endured it, but finally let them in and gave them gifts.
He sat behind the stone table without moving an inch.
The clan leader and the elders were very tactful and did not approach. From a distance, they said auspicious words and handed the gifts to the maids waiting on the side.
Fuwei bowed respectfully to the Venerable, walked forward quickly, took out the packed items from the storage ring, and stuffed them into Su Yanmei's hands, while glancing at Xixuan who was sitting upright without leaving a trace.
There is a stone table blocking the view in front, making it difficult to see anything.
But Fuwei was now standing beside Su Yanmei, and since she was taller than her, she could easily pass over the woman and her gaze fell on a position diagonally below her.
Seeing the completely bulging belly, Fuwei couldn't help but let out a laugh.
This sudden laugh was like a signal, almost confirming a fact.
Now, not only the sect leader, but even the elders broke out in cold sweat.
If I had known this earlier...
I won’t come.
I originally wanted to give the Venerable and his wife a surprise.
Now, the Venerable gave them a big surprise.
Who knew, the one who was pregnant was actually the Venerable?!
Except for Fu Wei who was causing trouble and Ying Hua who was watching the show with a fan half covering his face, the others bowed their heads respectfully and just wanted to run away.
Fu Wei's laughter broke Xi Xuan's restrained calm expression. His face looked very ugly. The thought of his pregnant belly being seen and being laughed at by everyone made his abdomen begin to ache slightly.
He felt very ashamed.
It has never happened before that a man gets pregnant.
But he was made the first one.
Venerable Xi Xuan, who had always been aloof, now blushed with shame and anger. To others, this was a manifestation of his anger and rage after his secret was discovered.
Therefore, before the Venerable launched an attack, the Sect Leader hurriedly found an excuse and led a group of elders to leave in a hurry.
Fu Wei was about to say something more when Su Yanmei suddenly covered her mouth. Receiving her gaze, the troublemaker Shangqing Mountain Master finally stopped.
She pulled the half-covered and half-exposed Ying Hua together, smiling, and congratulated the couple on the birth of their son.
Part of the gifts that Yinghua brought happened to be dried fruits such as peanuts and lotus seeds, wishing them to have many children in the future and be blessed with many children.
When the yard was completely quiet and only he and his wife were left, Xixuan carefully covered his slightly aching pregnant belly. The baby inside was still kicking him from time to time.
Through a layer of belly, with the help of spiritual power, he could even feel the faint heartbeat of another person of the same blood.
The child stayed in her belly for four months. Xixuan found it difficult to accept it at first, but gradually got used to its existence.
Even when faced with those messy nourishing soups that would make him vomit, he still tried hard to drink them to provide nutrition for the baby in his belly.
After four months of gestation, Xixuan had already developed feelings for it.
Yuqing Mountain, which has always been peaceful and tranquil, made Xixuan almost forget that he was a pregnant man.
Today's gift delivery completely shattered his fantasy.
If a man gets pregnant, he will be laughed at and ridiculed.
Moreover, the news of his pregnancy would soon spread throughout the Xihe Sect.
Those people dare not say it openly, but it is not difficult to imagine how much gossip it will cause behind the scenes.
He, the venerable leader of the Xihe Sect, would become a topic of conversation and be ridiculed and humiliated.
Thinking of that scene, Xixuan covered his bulging belly with his palm, his pair of golden pupils faintly showed watery light, and the corners of his eyes turned red.
Xi Xuan has been a phoenix that has been pampered by the Phoenix Clan since childhood. When he was a disciple, he was also the pride of the Xihe Sect. Now he is even a high and mighty venerable. Su Yanmei can easily sense that Xi Xuan has an extremely high self-esteem.
When she first learned that she was pregnant, Xi Xuan promised the Supreme Elder to give birth to the child, but secretly, she was still constantly tormented and worried. She would often touch her flat belly and was in so much pain that she couldn't sleep for half the night.
Only now did he reluctantly accept the child.
Now, the apparent peace has been broken, the pregnancy has been exposed, and she is destined to endure more rumors.
He, the venerable who was always high and mighty and spotless, can be said to have completely fallen from the clouds.
Seeing the young man's red eyes and slightly stunned look, Su Yanmei hugged him at the right time and gently stroked his back.
He had done this comforting gesture countless times since he became pregnant. Xixuan naturally put his arms around her waist and put his face against hers, his gesture being as intimate as possible.
This was something he would never have done before.
But since becoming pregnant, Xixuan's body has become very sensitive in every aspect, even his emotions have been fluctuating and are completely out of his control.
The fear brought about by this imbalance gradually dissipated under the tenderness and tolerance of his wife.
He also became increasingly dependent on his wife.
At this moment, feeling his wife's gentle comfort, Xixuan couldn't help but shed tears.
The tears soaked the purple gauze skirt and showed no sign of stopping.
Su Yanmei discovered this after he became pregnant. Xixuan seemed to have a tear incontinence constitution. He clearly didn't want to cry, but he would keep crying when he was emotionally excited.
Su Yanmei waited patiently for him to calm down. After he stopped crying, she wiped his tears with a handkerchief and said softly, "If Senior Brother hadn't been pregnant, the Phoenix Clan would have been extinct. No matter how much people criticize him, Senior Brother is a great hero."
She lowered her head and gently kissed his cheek, with a hint of cherishment: "Just right, the soup is not cold yet, drink it while it's hot."
The tonic soup is served in a special vessel so it can remain warm all the time.
Looking at the bowl of steaming black nourishing soup, he could clearly not smell any scent, but thinking of the memory of drinking it before, Xixuan couldn't help turning his head and retching.
The pregnant husband, who had just shed tears and was now retching, had tears in the corners of his eyes and redness at the corners of his eyes. He looked extremely pitiful.
Su Yanmei patted his back gently from behind, and when he stopped retching, she coaxed him gently, watching him drink and vomit, and then continue drinking after he finished vomiting.
*
The fact that Venerable Xixuan was pregnant was not mentioned openly, but it did spread within the Xihe Sect at an extremely fast speed.
It is really shocking that the man is pregnant.
Originally, Venerable Xixuan was a powerful man admired by all the disciples, but since he was linked to a pregnant woman, it felt very strange to think that the Venerable, who was once so handsome and bright, had become pregnant.
The disciples were whispering among themselves.
Four months later, Zhao Lin, who had gone out with his junior fellow apprentice to look for rare medicinal herbs, returned with Ji Zongxue.
The weather turned completely cold, and the yellow leaves fell down in curls. The lush green of the mountains was replaced by dark and bleak colors.
A rare light snow fell in Xihe Sect.
At this time, Xixuan was more than five months pregnant. Her golden clothes were loose and had no belt. Her bulging pregnant belly still pushed against the fabric. From the side, it looked like a semicircular ball.
Staying in Yuqing Mountain, he could not hear those rumors. He sat in the yard, stroking his pregnant belly, quietly feeling the baby kicking inside.
For some reason, the longer the time went on, the more he couldn't let go of this child.
Although she had some hesitations at first, Xixuan now just wants to give birth to the baby safely.
There was light snow falling in the courtyard. Su Yanmei took out a fox fur cloak from the warm house and went out to put it on Xixuan.
Xi Xuan's brows softened, and he turned around and held his wife's hand on his shoulder.
He raised his face, his red-gold pupils were clear and gentle, and the affection flowing from them was something that had not been seen in the past two hundred years.
Su Yanmei touched his somewhat cold face, said a few words of concern, and then bent down to tie his cloak.
Xixuan stared at her deeply, as if the world no longer existed, and her figure was reflected in his pupils.
His wife of many years was by his side.
They are expecting a baby soon.
Treat that wrong thing that happened in the past due to a moment of lapse of judgment as a distant dream.
The wife doesn’t know the cause and effect.
The wife will never know.
