Wolf Changmei
"Tell me the truth?"
Hearing this, Yuanli sat up straighter, her smile instantly falling. "Can't we get pregnant before we go back? If we can't get pregnant right now, we can just go back later."
"My dear wife, how can you get pregnant so easily?"
She didn't say anything, but in her heart she called out to the other sleeping Yuanli. After a long while, she finally woke Yuanli up. Looking at the distraught Yuanli, the words that were about to come out of her mouth were choked back.
She consoled herself inwardly, "He's just a man, isn't he? Do you really need to torture yourself like this? There are so many men in the world, not just Heng Jin. There are many who are better than him. You are me, and I am you. When I find a way to get myself a new body, I will always return this one to you."
Yuanli said: If it were your beloved Cha Suxun, you might not be much more open-minded than me.
She said, "Back then, Cha Suxun's love for Li Wan was much deeper than Heng Jin's. It's not as if he's completely forgotten Li Wan and is completely devoted to me now. I also know that everything he does to me isn't necessarily different from how Heng Jin treats you. But I'm willing to tolerate it. As long as he's devoted to me now, I won't argue with a dead person."
Yuanli said: "You see things clearly, but I don't. Every time he looks at me, I feel like he's seeing someone else through me." I originally didn't care about Heng Jin, and even less so who he truly loved. But suddenly, I was told that the Wen Yici I loved so deeply was Heng Jin... I was happy that my Ah Ci was still alive, but also sad...
She said, "It's normal for you to be confused for a moment after suddenly discovering such a huge truth. I won't try to persuade you. Although you and I are the same person, we are very different. I won't force my views on you. Just think it over for yourself."
Yuanli said: "Well, you suddenly called me, what do you want to discuss with me? I fell asleep, I don't know what happened just now, just tell me."
She said: "I want to be a real couple with Cha Suxun for the rest of my life, is that okay? This body is yours. I know it's selfish of me to say this, but...
Yuanli interrupted her and said, "Okay. This body was originally a mortal body that had endured tribulations in the lower realms. It's Chili's. Whatever experiences it has, it has nothing to do with Yuanli. Even if it's Yuanli's body, you can continue to use it. At least, you can live a happy life, knowing that everything you get is what you want. I won't fight with you for it anymore. Just let me go out and have fun every now and then when you have time."
She said, "No! I won't accept another me living such a miserable life! I will work hard, so that we can both have bodies and live well, just like we did back in Yuemang Mountain. Don't worry, I won't hurt anyone again. I heard that an immortal once made a body out of lotus and lotus root, so I can find a way to do that too. If you're feeling down, just sleep and wait for me."
She finished her words with full fighting spirit, naturally delighted. Without waiting to hear Yuanli's refusal and those demoralizing words that had eroded her fighting spirit, she said to Cha Suxun, who was still grilling fish, "Okay, let's not talk about the baby. Let me ask you, when do you plan to consummate your marriage with me? I don't want to hear any excuses."
Cha Suxun handed his fish to her, then took the fish from her hand and changed the subject, "My fish is already cooked. Madam, please eat mine first."
"Don't change the subject."
He has always been unable to withstand Yuanli's questions. No matter which one she is, he has to suppress his true thoughts again and again. He is unable to withstand it and almost surrenders several times.
"Husband, please don't make excuses about whether I'll regret it or not. I am who I am, and I know best whether I'll regret it or not." Thinking of a possibility, Yuanli asked bluntly, "Or, husband, it's another me that you like. Husband, you know the truth now, that I only have you in my heart and eyes, but you still have concerns... Is that right?"
Cha Suxun was stunned by the question.
He had never thought about this question before. He didn't know what Yuanli was now, so he couldn't answer her question.
Faced with his silence, she began to suspect something and began to dread hearing his unpleasant answer. She forced a smile, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere. She took a bite of his grilled fish and said, "My husband's grilled fish is still so delicious. Yours, are you still not well?"
Cha Suxun knew she was giving him a way out, and he felt even worse. He wanted to explain, but he hadn't thought it through himself, so how could he explain it to her? He was afraid he would make things worse.
He followed her words, looked at the grilled fish carefully, and said, "It's cooked. Will your fish be enough to eat?"
"Such a big fish, and I'm still not full? Then I'm going to eat you into bankruptcy in this life."
"Even if you eat three fatty fish in one meal, I can still support you."
"Okay, okay. By the way, if you want to do what you've planned, just go ahead and do it. Father and Mother, I'll take care of you. I know you say you won't care about anything outside of the Six Realms until the Heavens return everything you own. But now that Xie Yuan has escaped, the Heavenly Guardians are the ones most at fault for their negligence. They should be the ones to clean up this mess, but you care about the lives of the Six Realms and won't sit idly by. Only if you do it yourself will you feel at ease."
Suddenly, the howling of wolves could be heard from outside the cave. Then, three wolves appeared, their scarlet eyes flashing with bloodthirstiness. They stared at their prey with the alertness of a man, ready to pounce and kill at any moment. Their mouths slightly opened, revealing their sharp fangs.
Cha Suxun stuffed the grilled fish into her hands and asked her to stand back a little. "Wait a moment."
Before the wolves could attack, Cha Suxun drew his sword and swung it at them. With the memories of his pre-human life, Cha Suxun wielded the sword with great skill, killing one wolf at a time.
After all five wolves fell, they soon vanished into thin air, which showed that they were not ordinary creatures.
Then a tall woman walked in from outside the cave. The woman was scantily clad, with only tiger skin wrapped around her body. Her slender waist and long legs were exposed, and half of her breasts were almost exposed, shaking with her steps. It seemed that she was in danger of being "naked" at any time.
Don't look at what is inappropriate. After seeing her outfit clearly, Cha Suxun simply turned around and stood facing Yuanli.
"I have no ill intentions. I have come to seek refuge with you. My previous probing was to confirm your identity. I hope you will forgive me for any offense I may have caused."
"I'm just a mortal, and you're a demon. Do you still expect me to protect you?"
"The crow of the Immortal Houwai has personally informed all the monsters within a hundred miles of Hedong Village to serve you as their master. You can also complete the 80 tasks of the Mirror Tree. If you were just an ordinary mortal, I wouldn't bother waiting for you here."
Cha Suxun recalled what happened in Hedong Village that day, and then he realized that the "immortal who met outside" she mentioned should be the "strong man and beautiful woman".
"Since you know about the Immortal Houwai and his crows, you also know that since the territories have been divided, each has its own master. This mountain is not within my territory. If you want to seek refuge, you shouldn't look for me."
"I'm not a monster from this mountain. I... I've been expelled and don't belong to any territory. I have nowhere else to live. I'm desperate. I can do anything for you, as long as you're willing to accept me."
"You haven't told me your identity, the reason for your expulsion, or your abilities, and all you're saying is that you want me to join you. You're taking things too easy. I don't like my subordinates being too stupid. You should leave."
Cha Suxun's tone was cold and heartless. Yuanli saw that the woman had an embarrassment look on her face after hearing that. She had already left the cave, but suddenly turned back.
Hearing the noise, Cha Suxun quickly sat with his back to the door, his gaze firm as if he was swearing an oath.
The woman came over and knelt down without hesitation, as if she had made a great decision.
"My name is Changmei. I'm 321 years old this year. I'm from the wolf tribe on Luoshan Mountain in Pingshui Township, Fuyang Town. My adoptive father is the Wolf King, and he also followed the immortal Houwai. The reason I was expelled was that the new landlord of Luoshan wanted to force me to be his concubine. However, that new landlord was two hundred years older than my adoptive father, and he was licentious and immoral. He had harmed many female demons. None of those demons survived a year in his hands. My adoptive father and I didn't want that. The landlord said nothing and directly ordered the killing of my entire tribe. Only I and a few young men of the tribe escaped, but the new landlord found out. He couldn't catch me, so he ordered me expelled. That's why I've been hiding. Your deeds have been spread all over the place, and when I heard about it, I wanted to find a way out for myself and the remaining members of my tribe."
"Is this the reason for expelling you? I don't believe it. With your looks and figure, you should be accepted by any landowner you find. Why did you wait for me?"
"I dare not lie to you. The reason I didn't seek refuge with other landlords is because almost all of them are connected and know each other. No one would risk offending my original landlord for a mere orphan. Every time I arrive in a new territory, I see a reward notice for my capture. You are the first mortal landlord, and I think you might be different from those colluding landlords, which is why I came to seek refuge with you."
"Notice?"
Hearing this, Changmei explained with some surprise, "Yes, each territory has a fixed notice, used to announce things like bounties and summons from the territory owner. It's actually somewhat similar to the notices in your mortal world, the only difference being that there are monthly missions posted. You've just taken over, and the territory is so large, you might not be aware of it yet, but your territory will definitely have a notice."
"What tasks are usually listed on the notice? Where is it located?"
"It's usually at the highest point in your territory. As for what missions are written there, well... there are all kinds of missions. Each territory and each month has different missions. I really don't know how to tell you what kind of missions they are. However, the most common ones are murder, finding specific items, monsters, etc."
