"Should I feel uneasy?" Yun Qian asked.
For Miss Yun, there was nothing unmentionable or shameful about the matters relating to the bedroom, because it was something she enjoyed... it was intimacy with her husband.
And since she was speaking with Li Zhibai, there were no concerns at all.
Li Zhibai looked at Yun Qian for a moment, her blinking quickened, and she said softly, "The phrase âmorning clouds and evening rains, whispering night in the bright moonâ is the origin of the name Muyu Peak."
"Morning clouds and evening rains," initially referred to the cyclical interplay of Yin and Yang, or to put it more plainly, the affairs between men and women.
What proper name could a bunch of Hehuan Sectâs Meizi come up with?
The simple idea of "morning clouds" was altered by them by adding "evening rains," giving it a certain color.
But upon closer thought, the girls here actually abandoned the straightforward name "Hehuan" in favor of a more subtle term.
"Even the girls on Muyu Peak, who seem carefree, will use such terms to embellish those matters." Li Zhibai said, meeting Yun Qianâs calm gaze, filled with a certain strangeness in her heart.
Even the remnants of the Hehuan Sect on Muyu Peak, unless they have particularly unsavory dispositions, wouldnât casually discuss bedroom matters like Yun Qian when talking with elders, especially those they havenât known for long.
After all, they learned the Six Arts for Women, capturing the restrained charm found in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Li Zhibai looked up, observing Yun Qianâs slightly moved expression. Her amazement at Yun Qianâs acceptance of the Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Technique slowly faded, replaced by a bit of... apprehension?
How could Yun Qian seem so eager? Surely she wasnât about to delve into a deep discussion with her.
That would not do.
Even if she knew specific details, she certainly couldnât speak about it with Yun Qianâs calm expression... these matters.
After all, Li Zhibai was a traditional person.
She gazed deeply at Yun Qian, placing her left hand on her fair forehead, and said, "Yes, now Muyu Peak is full of girls, many fake dragons and phoenixes, not a single âmorning clouds and evening rainsâ... itâs all just empty talk."
Yun Qian, an ordinary woman, yet in realm, she surpassed all of Muyu Peak.
Yun Qian was looking at her reflection in the mirror, slightly raising her head at the remark: "What do you mean?"
"I mean, this is the difference between a married woman and an unmarried woman."
Li Zhibai pressed her finger to her brow, gently massaging it, and said, "It seems that the acceptance of these matters has nothing to do with cultivation."
In fact, there were girls on Muyu Peak with partners, but no man quite compared to the universally loved and protected Xu Changâan.
Li Zhibai realized that despite appearing older than Yun Qian, in reality...
She was the unripe fruit, feeling ashamed and annoyed even when mentioning bedroom matters.
While Yun Qian was fully mature, speaking casually as if discussing not such matters, but something mundane like having a sweet or a piece of fruit.
Including Xu Changâan, whom Li Zhibai thought was just a child, was long since not a child.
As it turned out, the odd one wasnât Miss Yun, but herself, someone who knew nothing beyond cultivation.
ââ
Li Zhibai looked at Yun Qian, who had quieted down, finally letting out a sigh of relief, unsure of what Xu Changâan would think if he had overheard them.
Having accepted reality, Li Zhibai endeavored to appear calmer, speaking earnestly, "Miss Yun, Iâve checked your body; apart from slightly narrow meridians, thereâs no major issue. As for not being able to... not being able to have children... you havenât had Gui Water, so where would children come from."
"Gui Water?" Yun Qian glanced down before nodding.
Li Zhibai continued, "I think, when you practice the Yellow Emperorâs Red Seal Technique with Changâan and open the Elixir Field and clear your meridians, Gui Water will come, and children will not be delayed. Later on, donât say strange things like âunbearable childlessness for lack of Yinâ.
"Is that so." Yun Qian thought things werenât that simple, though matters of Tian Gui seemed important, as Xu Changâan had mentioned it more than once.
"Ms. Li, when did you have your Gui Water?"
Li Zhibai: "..."
This time, her silence lasted only a short while.
Compared to previous topics, this one felt much more normal. Whether mundane girls or those in the Immortal Sect, when close, this topic was nearly unavoidable and could truly be seen as commonplace.
"I..." Li Zhibai crossed her arms over her abdomen, falling into thought, reminiscing, "Itâs been so long, let me think... in the Twelfth Year of Xuming... when I was thirteen or fourteen... thirteen, perhaps."
Scenes from that time gradually emerged in her mind, and Li Zhibai remembered she got her Tian Gui at thirteen. As a daughter of a scholarly family, she didnât understand these things and secretly went to a clinic to ask, which ended up being quite the joke.
"Thirteen." Yun Qian looked at Li Zhibai, "Yet I missed it."
Yun Qianâs words pulled Li Zhibai from her memories, and she immediately said, "Missed it? Missed what? Miss Yun, once you restore your health, youâll have whatâs meant to be yours."
"The medical books say only with Tian Gui can there be children." Yun Qian looked at Li Zhibai, thinking that Li Zhibai having everything indeed made her a fitting wife.
