Chapter 755 - 0428 Big Event Happened (Two-in-One)_2

Ah Qing looked at Yun Qian helplessly: "I didn’t expect... Miss Yun cares about these things too."

"Mm." Yun Qian nodded and said calmly, "It’s very important. If that’s the case, the child won’t have enough to eat in the future."

"..." Ah Qing looked at Yun Qian’s seriousness, remained silent for a while, and then spoke: "I have no plans to have children."

Yun Qian glanced at her without speaking.

The words of these girls are generally not reliable, so Yun Qian’s attitude was ambivalent.

Ah Qing watched Yun Qian with a attitude of disbelief, her mouth twitching slightly.

"?"

This Miss Yun, how can she be so lovable at times yet so strange at others.

Alright then... it seems normal. After all, in Yun Qian’s eyes, she’s just an ordinary girl from the Flower Moon Building, so it’s normal for Yun Qian to bring up such topics with her.

If Yun Qian knew her true identity as the leader of the Holy Sect, she certainly wouldn’t discuss having children with her.

So it’s her own fault for concealing her identity, not Yun Qian’s fault.

But... even if it’s not your fault, Miss Yun, can you please stop looking at me with those eyes?

At this moment, Yun Qian’s calm gaze swept over her thin form, although she said nothing and her face showed no expression as usual, Ah Qing always felt a sense of concern and worry emanating from Yun Qian’s gaze.

"?"

What is she worrying about?

Worries if I don’t gain weight?

With a deep breath, Ah Qing slightly gritted her teeth and then softly said, "Miss Yun, the reason why I’m like this now is because of years of hunger in my childhood, so... it will get better in the future."

This was her teenage form. Being a Half-Demon, she practically grew up starved, surviving itself was not easy, so where would nutrition for development come from?

So it’s only natural for her figure to be slight.

Besides, if a destitute Half-Demon like her really had a figure like Yun Qian’s, she wouldn’t need to be a spy. Zhu Pingniang would be the first to find something amiss.

"It will get better later?" Yun Qian looked at her.

Although not wanting to linger on this odd topic with Yun Qian, Ah Qing still nodded with difficulty.

"...Mm, it will get better."

Looking at her current state, one can already tell that it will indeed get better in the future. Her present form is merely due to malnutrition.

"That’s good." Yun Qian nodded.

Ah Qing had nothing left to say as she quickly led Yun Qian back to the banquet hall.

Ah Qing felt that if she kept talking with this girl for a bit longer, Yun Qian might start asking her about Gui Water...

She really didn’t want to discuss these things with Yun Qian. For a mysterious immortal’s wife to bring up topics like body figure, she couldn’t handle it.

Upon quickly arriving at the banquet pavilion, Ah Qing looked at the few girls around and was momentarily taken aback.

Still watching Wen Li?

Is she really that good-looking?

Can she be more beautiful than Yun Qian?

Shaking her head, Ah Qing escorted Yun Qian up to the high platform where Miss Lu was sitting, who sighed with relief upon seeing Yun Qian and stood up to greet her.

"Miss Yun, where have you been?" Miss Lu was startled when she found Yun Qian was gone when she arrived.

This swaying big ship, if Yun Qian accidentally took a fall, it could be catastrophic. She would never have the face to see Young Master Xu again.

Seeing Miss Lu looking over, Ah Qing bowed slightly and then briefly explained meeting Yun Qian and taking her to see Xu Chang’an.

"Is that so?" Miss Lu, upon hearing that Ah Qing had done a maid’s work, gave her an approving look.

A clever girl, likable.

For a moment, Miss Lu didn’t find Ah Qing’s Half-Demon identity intimidating, and with a smile, she said to her, "Well done."

For future monthly salaries, give her a thirty percent raise.

"Then I should go back first; there’s still preparation for the Sword Dance." Ah Qing smiled at Yun Qian.

Though leaving in haste, she really did cherish the time talking alone with Yun Qian. In the future... there might not be such opportunities.

After Ah Qing reluctantly left, Miss Lu invited Yun Qian to sit.

Miss Lu poured Yun Qian a cup of tea, apologizing, "The banquet’s barely started, and now there’s no one... It’s truly a joke."

"There’s nothing funny about it." Yun Qian held the teacup, deep in thought.

"Ms. Zhu went to see the Fairy outside, you might have to wait a bit as it could be something urgent from the Immortal Sect," Miss Lu smacked her lips, "That Fairy... truly is a lovely girl, even I found it hard to move away."

She had been mesmerized when Wen Li entrusted her with passing on the message.

"Mm." Yun Qian responded.

Wen Li?

Of course, she is good-looking, with a problem-free and tall figure, now even starting to grow her hair, a person of ’color’ no doubt, so there’s nothing more to say.

"..." Miss Lu was startled by Yun Qian’s somewhat dejected appearance and quickly snapped out of Wen Li’s ’charming’ influence.

How embarrassing, treating a guest like this.

She cleared her throat.

Miss Lu blinked and then asked, "By the way, how was Young Master Xu’s dinner preparation? I’m sure it tastes amazing... Hmph, Ms. Zhu said she’s only making dinner for you and herself today, ignoring my status, but... it’s a rare opportunity, I must try."

At the mention of Xu Chang’an, Yun Qian’s gaze instantly became vibrant.

Seeing this, Miss Lu squinted her eyes.

Indeed, she knew how to get along with this Miss Yun.

Truly wonderful.

She liked girls as simple as Yun Qian.

——

At this moment, Zhu Pingniang stood outside the kitchen where Xu Chang’an was, clutching a letter from Wen Li, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

This was big news.

This letter, given to Wen Li by her master and personally delivered, was undoubtedly of utmost importance.

And Zhu Pingniang, having read it, was certain it really was a big deal.

Wen Li... is she really planning to give up the Sword Dao?

What a joke.

Zhu Pingniang had vaguely heard rumors that the woman in white was anxious, but she thought it was just some noise above Wen Li’s Mingxin Realm, which should soon pass given Wen Li’s talent and hard work with the sword.

She always had a discordant relationship with Wen Li’s master because that woman in white knew her Ah Bai, whom Zhu Pingniang considered a hidden rival in her heart.

But now, seeing the urgency in the woman’s letter, it didn’t seem like a joke.

That woman, usually disagreeable to her, even called her "Ms. Zhu" in the letter, just to persuade Zhu Pingniang to talk to Wen Li, indicative of how serious the matter was.

How could this happen?

Why would Wen Li really want to give up Sword Dao so abruptly?

It seems she’s trying to attempt cultivating Spear Intent anew.

With the vivid depiction of this rumor, Zhu Pingniang became anxious.

She was most aware of Wen Li’s character, and if Wen Li had truly made up her mind to the point of leaving the woman in white utterly confused, her intervention would be futile.

Even though Wen Li was someone Zhu Pingniang brought up the mountain, she was clear that their relationship was far from close.

Her words held no weight with Wen Li.

Upon realizing this wasn’t a joke, Zhu Pingniang’s first reaction was to be at a loss, then quickly thought of Xu Chang’an.

No particular reason, she just felt Xu Chang’an might know something.

If nothing else...

Perhaps Xu Chang’an talking to Wen Li might help.

Thus, Zhu Pingniang tucked the letter back into her chest, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.

"... What is it now?" Zhu Pingniang heard the knock, sighed helplessly, and pushed open the door, "Miss, didn’t you just leave... Hey, Senior Zhu?"

"Both titles are wrong." Zhu Pingniang glared at Xu Chang’an.

"Ms. Zhu." Xu Chang’an coughed lightly, finding it odd.

Did Zhu Pingniang just knock before entering?

Wasn’t she always just barging in?

Oh... Maybe she felt bad about troubling him before and was feeling apologetic?

Xu Chang’an didn’t think much, "Ms. Zhu, do you have any instructions?"

"No... nothing major, just wanted to let you know, that Wen Li girl is here too, so make an extra serving of dinner for her." Zhu Pingniang smiled kindly.

"Got it." Xu Chang’an thought he had already heard this news from Yun Qian.
