Hearing Jian Ning's words, Liu Yan smiled happily.
She was lucky to meet Jian Ning when she was at her lowest point in life, who reached out to help her and pulled her out of the mire.
Now she has such a good husband as Xiao Wuyu, and the baby in her belly is developing very well. Her future days will definitely be incredibly happy, and she also has a loving family.
She was truly grateful. Even peeling potatoes seemed to give her more motivation.
When we had dinner in the evening, the house was bustling with activity again, a welcome change from the past. Two tables were set up right next to each other.
The men sat at one table, and the women and children at another. Although it was very hot outside, the air conditioning was on inside, and they were eating steaming hot pot and drinking baijiu (Chinese liquor), just like celebrating the New Year.
Xiao Wuyu also enjoyed the atmosphere. He sat there accepting almost every drink offered, taking turns with Uncle Li, drinking baijiu as if it were water.
Before long, Uncle Li was so drunk that his tongue was slurred, and he patted Xiao Wuyu on the shoulder, the two of them calling each other brothers.
Jian Ning didn't pay them any attention. They were happy today, so drinking a little more wouldn't hurt. Besides, Xiao Wuyu's alcohol tolerance wasn't high enough to get drunk from such a small amount.
Unexpectedly, she still didn't understand Xiao Wuyu. Just as they were finishing their meal, Liu Yan looked up at the table and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, pointing a trembling finger at Xiao Wuyu, unable to utter a word of astonishment.
"Yan Yan, why are you so startled? It's like you've seen a ghost." Jian Ning said, looking up and also startled for a moment.
Perhaps due to the effects of alcohol, the disguise pill that Xiao Wuyu took failed to work, and now he has a face that is almost identical to Xiao Lingfeng's. Apart from being a little more weathered, he looks just like the two brothers.
The men at the table had all drunk quite a bit, and no one noticed the change in his expression.
"Yan Yan, don't be afraid, I'll explain to you later." Jian Ning quickly said, stood up, and pulled Xiao Wuyu out.
"What are you doing? Jian Ning, I haven't even drunk my drink yet!"
Xiao Wuyu struggled for a moment, but Jian Ning pulled him outside without any politeness and directly condensed a water ball and slapped it on his face.
"Brother Xiao, sober up and look at your face."
"What did you say? What's wrong with my face?"
Xiao Wuyu hadn't reacted yet. He swayed and touched his face, finding nothing wrong, until he saw Jian Ning pull out a large mirror and point it at him. Only after looking at himself did he realize what was happening.
Oh no, drinking has caused trouble! How did it revert to its original state? Turning around, she saw Liu Yan had also come out, looking completely incredulous. She immediately panicked.
"Yan Yan, let me explain. I didn't mean to lie to you, Jian Ning. Please help me."
"I know, no one can see your face right now, so hurry up and change back."
As Jian Ning spoke, she nudged him with her hand, then pulled Liu Yan to sit down on a long bench under the grapevines.
"Yan Yan, we didn't mean to lie to you, it's just that his face looks so much like Xiao Lingfeng's."
We were worried my mother-in-law wouldn't be able to handle it if she saw it. So we had Xiao Wuyu use some method to conceal her true appearance. Do you understand what I mean by that?
"You mean, he used a disguise technique? Like in the books, where you can use cosmetics to change your appearance?"
But I share a bed with him every day, and I've seen him wash his face and take a shower, so how come the stuff on his face never comes off? Is it waterproof? Liu Yan felt like she had a lot of questions.
Turning around again, he saw that Xiao Wuyu had actually reverted to his original form. He rubbed his eyes in surprise.
There's nothing here to use for makeup, so how did he change his face? Is he like Sun Wukong, with seventy-two transformations?
Could it be that I married a monster instead of a human? Thinking this, I inexplicably felt the air around me grow colder.
When Xiao Wuyu walked over, I subconsciously shrank back a bit.
"Yan Yan, don't be afraid. I am your husband. What I look like doesn't matter, as long as my love for you remains unchanged. Don't you agree?"
Xiao Wuyu spoke in a hurry. Now that he was completely sober, he saw Liu Yan's frightened expression and quickly came over to explain.
Liu Yan looked at him with a puzzled expression. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions, and she didn't know what to say.
Seeing her confused expression, Xiao Wuyu smiled gently and reassured her, "Don't be afraid. I'm not a monster, nor am I some mutated spirit. I remember telling you that I'm a special person."
"Special person?"
"Liu Yan asked, puzzled, "Then can you tell me how your face changed? What kind of disguise technique can so quickly change a person's entire appearance and facial expressions so completely, as if they've had plastic surgery?"
Xiao Wuyu pondered for a moment, seemingly considering whether he should tell her the truth.
He glanced at Jian Ning beside him and decided to tell the truth. After all, if some things weren't explained clearly, it could easily create a rift between him and his wife, which was something he didn't want to see.
"Yan Yan, actually I come from a very faraway place, and I'm not from this world. I live in a world where immortal techniques can be cultivated,"
I can refine elixirs to heal the sick and save lives, and of course, I can also refine disguise pills. Taking one allows you to freely change your appearance without any side effects.
"You mean, you're a cultivator? Just like in fantasy martial arts novels?" Liu Yan asked, his eyes wide.
"That's about right, that's the idea."
Xiao Wuyu answered frankly, "I can cultivate some techniques, but I'm nowhere near the level of ascending to immortality. The world I originally lived in was just like the martial arts novels you're reading."
Liu Yan was completely stunned after hearing this. She never expected that she would marry someone from an unknown world.
She had no idea how old he was. This caused her to become emotionally distraught and feel completely lost.
"Then what about me...our marriage..."
"Of course I'm serious about our marriage, Yan Yan. Actually, you've been deceived by your memories of your past life."
Back in the world of cultivation, you were my Daoist partner, and we were the closest of lovers.
Meeting you in this life is the greatest fortune I've ever had. I originally thought I would never see you again in my lifetime!
Xiao Wuyu's tone was incredibly gentle: "I know you might not be able to accept what I'm saying right now."
This might bother you, but you must believe that my love for you is absolutely sincere. No matter which side of me I present to you, my heart remains the same.
Liu Yan was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and smiled: "As long as you are sincere, I don't care about your background. We already have a child, let's live a good life together from now on."
