"Just over there."
At the top of Cloud Pattern Mountain, not far from No Regrets Cliff, in a dense forest.
Thereâs a very large wooden lodge.
Si Minglan pointed at the wooden lodge and said to Qin Gengyun, Qiu Zhihe, Liu Su, and Hammer girl behind her.
This place is far away from the dwelling place of the Cloud Pattern Tribe and is quite secluded.
Such a large house popping up suddenly seems very strange.
Even stranger is that there are over a dozen people from the Cloud Pattern Tribe guarding outside this wooden lodge.
Apparently, thereâs a secret hidden inside.
"Miss, could the Cloud Pattern Star Spear be hidden inside?"
Liu Su whispered to Qiu Zhihe.
Si Minglan said, "I discovered this while following Yun Zhen; she just went into this lodge."
Qiu Zhihe frowned slightly, "Whereâs Yun Li?"
"Yun Zhen went in shortly, and Yun Li came out from inside," Si Minglan replied.
Liu Su excitedly said, "Then I must be right, the Cloud Pattern Star Spear is in there!"
Hammer girl eagerly asked, "Should we start fighting?"
Qin Gengyun said, "The situation inside is unclear, letâs wait and see."
Liu Su snorted, "Do you really think everyone in the Cloud Pattern Tribe is good? That Yun Li has been deceiving us all along, Yun Zhen is trying to lure you, you donât want to hurt them, but they might not feel the same!"
Qiu Zhihe looked at Liu Su in slight surprise, it was like Liu Su saw through Qin Gengyunâs thoughts in an instant.
She lightly bit her red lip, feeling a bit bitter yet more relieved.
Well, when I leave, my husband will have someone who understands him, I can also be at ease.
"Hey hey, someoneâs coming out!"
At this moment, the door of the wooden lodge opened, and everyone looked over, holding their breath, concentrating.
They saw two small children running out, playing as they ran, soon followed by Yun Zhen.
"XiaoqueâEr, Xiaoxuan, you two are misbehaving again! Didnât I say itâs dangerous outside, if bad people see you, youâll be captured!"
Yun Zhen caught up with the two children, picked them up by the arms, and walked them back, still nagging.
She didnât look like the demure bride or the tribal tomboy spitting slang, nor like the bewildered girl in shameful clothes from last night, more like a caring big sister nagging.
Perhaps this is the real Yun Zhen?
The four exchanged glances.
"Whatâs the situation?"
Liu Su was a bit confused, if it were a place hiding treasures, why would children be running around?
"Wife."
Qin Gengyun suddenly said:
"Since weâve been on the mountain, we havenât seen a single child."
Qiu Zhihe paused, Si Minglan realized: "Right, itâs my oversight, such a large tribe, how could there be no children? There must be a trick!"
Liu Su wondered, "What trick could they achieve by hiding the children from us?"
Qin Gengyun suddenly stepped out from hiding, walking towards the wooden lodge.
"Husband!"
"Qin Gengyun!"
Liu Su and Si Minglan tried to stop him, but Qiu Zhihe suddenly said:
"Let him go."
They watched Qin Gengyun stride to the lodge, and the guards immediately surrounded him:
"What are you doing?!"
Qin Gengyun spoke loudly towards the lodge, "Taoist Friend Yun, I mean no harm, may I come in?"
A moment later, Yun Zhenâs voice came from inside the lodge, "Let him in."
The guards looked at each other, but ultimately stepped aside.
"Thank you."
Qin Gengyun walked into the lodge.
A while later, Liu Su worriedly said, "Why hasnât husband come out yet? Could something have happened?"
Qiu Zhihe calmly said: "Thereâs no fluctuation in my husbandâs Spiritual Power, nothingâs happening inside."
Liu Su said, "Miss, if something happens, it doesnât always involve fighting, rolling sheets is also considered something, ow!"
Qiu Zhihe withdrew her hand, yet her expression was no longer calm, just as she was about to head towards the lodge, she saw the door open and a group of children came running out.
Three or four-year-olds, some eleven or twelve-year-olds, all like sparrows escaping cages, chirping and running all over the mountains and fields.
Then Qin Gengyun and Yun Zhen walked out side by side, Qin Gengyun was holding a little girl, the one called XiaoqueâEr.
The little girl was about five years old, with braided pigtails, a chubby face, and giggled as she rested on Qin Gengyunâs shoulder.
The four were stunned, not knowing what was happening.
Qin Gengyun called out to the girls hiding, "Wife, Susu, come out."
The four had to reveal themselves, Si Minglan was a bit embarrassed, walked to Qin Gengyun, and asked:
"Whatâs exactly going on?"
Qin Gengyun turned to Yun Zhen, "Yun Zhen, you explain."
"Hmph, from âTaoist Friend Yunâ to âYun Zhenâ so quickly." Liu Su muttered quietly, yet saw Yun Zhen speaking to them:
"These children are the next generation of our Cloud Pattern Tribe; we didnât mean to hide them because these children are our Cloud Pattern Mountainâs..."
Yun Zhenâs strong face showed a hint of gloom, slowly saying:
"The last seeds."
"What do you mean?" Liu Su was puzzled, Yun Zhen smiled, her face returned to cheerful, her voice clear and bright:
"Nothing, children are very important to our Cloud Pattern Mountain, so we habitually hide them in the safest place."
"Brother, youâre really good-looking, you look like my daddy!"
At this moment, the girl Qin Gengyun was holding was hugging his neck, her big eyes blinking, her little face full of attachment.
"Pfft!" Liu Su burst out laughing, goodness, both a brother and daddy, itâs absurd!
Qin Gengyun laughed heartily, "XiaoqueâEr, is brother handsome or your daddy?"
XiaoqueâEr stretched out her chubby hand and compared it on Qin Gengyunâs head, "Brother is handsome, but daddy is taller than brother."
Qin Gengyun smiled speechlessly and asked, "Where is your daddy?"
Yun Zhen next to him paused, XiaoqueâEr tilted her head, "Sister Yun Zhen said my daddy went far to hunt, will come back when he catches the biggest tiger."
Qin Gengyun glanced at Yun Zhen, who lowered her head slightly flustered.
Qiu Zhihe suddenly reached out, "Let me hold her."
Her voice was cool, XiaoqueâEr was startled, gripped Qin Gengyunâs collar tightly, looking at her timidly.
Qin Gengyun spoke gently, "XiaoqueâEr, this is Sister Zhihe, my wife, sheâs so beautiful, let her hold you."
XiaoqueâEr seriously looked at Qiu Zhihe, nodded seriously, "Mm, sister is beautiful, let sister hold."
That earnest look amused everyone, Qin Gengyun laughed and handed XiaoqueâEr to Qiu Zhihe.
"..."
Qiu Zhiheâs expression was tense, posture awkward, her whole body seemed tight.
It was her first time holding a child.
"Sister, this is how you hold,"
XiaoqueâEr reached out her chubby hand, pulling Qiu Zhiheâs hand to support her bottom, finally making Qiu Zhiheâs posture correct.
"Sister is very smart, Iâll give you a candy!"
XiaoqueâEr was very satisfied, carefully took out a candy from her pocket and handed it to Qiu Zhihe.
Qiu Zhihe took it, looked down at the candy, the coldness in her eyes gradually melted.
If I have a child with my husband, would it be just as adorable?
