Chapter 25: Mu Xiyao’s Curiosity

However, before she could react, Ye Zhixin and Ye Zilan, who were following behind Yue Rushuang, suddenly popped their little heads out, looking at her with curious expressions. This scene took her completely by surprise.

“Rushuang, you…” Mu Xiyao couldn’t help but speak.

Yue Rushuang seemed very calm about Mu Xiyao’s reaction and answered generously, “As you can see, I am already a mother of three children, and soon, the fourth will be born!”

She then pulled the two children over and said, “Quick, greet your aunt!”

At the words of their mother, the two children immediately straightened their backs, with serious expressions as they bowed, “Hello, Aunt!”

“Ah, ah!” Even someone as well-traveled as Mu Xiyao was momentarily caught off guard.

She couldn’t help but recall the first time she met Yue Rushuang. At that time, her cultivation wasn’t much stronger than Yue Rushuang’s. The two had hit it off and soon became inseparable best friends, promising to travel the world together, becoming peerless prodigies who would reach an unparalleled realm.

At that time, they were both so full of youthful vigor.

However, time passed, and one night, Yue Rushuang suddenly became a cripple from being a prodigy.

When Mu Xiyao heard the news, she was deeply anxious and had even dragged her master along to investigate. Yet, no one could figure out the true cause.

To help Yue Rushuang break through, Mu Xiyao had offered abundant resources, even to the point where her cultivation stagnated.

Eventually, Yue Rushuang refused to accept any more resources from her.

As Mu Xiyao herself broke through, and each of her retreats grew longer, the communication between them started to fade.

Not long ago, when Mu Xiyao learned that Yue Rushuang had not only broken through to the Peak of Divine Sea realm but had even reached the Grand Master of Heavenly Phenomenon realm, she was overjoyed. She immediately sought permission from her master and came to pick up Yue Rushuang, fulfilling the promise they had made years ago.

Seeing this, Ye Wushang knew that the two women had a lot to catch up on, so he didn’t interrupt them.

He shifted his gaze and looked at Yue Hai, “Yue Family’s Patriarch, I suppose you have business to discuss today as well. Why don’t we move to another location?”

Upon hearing this, Yue Hai couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. After all, he was Yue Rushuang’s elder uncle. When Ye Wushang had married Yue Rushuang, he had referred to him as ‘Uncle’, but now, calling him ‘Patriarch of the Yue Family’ was a clear sign of the distance between them.

But there was nothing he could do. When the news of the Yue Family’s crisis came, they had feared the Sea-Slaying Sword Sect and chose to stand by and watch.

They had thought that the Ye Family would be wiped out, but unexpectedly, Ye Wushang appeared out of nowhere. Not only did he help the Ye Family settle the conflict, but he also destroyed the Sea-Slaying Sword Sect in one fell swoop.

Especially the feat of Ye Wushang, killing a half-step Purple Mansion cultivator with his cultivation at the First Layer of Heavenly Phenomenon, had spread far and wide. The entire Great Xia now feared him.

Looking at the Ye Family now, Yue Hai could see that, with Ye Wushang around, it was no longer impossible for the Ye Family to surpass the Yue Family in the future.

Thinking about the task at hand, his heart grew heavier.

But he still managed to squeeze out a smile, “Very well.”

So, they left and headed to a secluded hall.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man also stood up, “I’ll go take a walk.”

Soon, only the two women were left in the room.

Mu Xiyao furrowed her brows tightly, “Rushuang, you’ve been married into the Ye Family for just a few years, and now you’re already on your fourth child. Does the Ye Family treat you like a baby-making machine?”

Upon hearing this, Yue Rushuang smiled gently, “Senior Sister, do you think that if I didn’t want this, could anyone force me?”

Mu Xiyao immediately fell silent.

She knew Yue Rushuang’s character very well. No one could force her to do anything, even when she married Ye Wushang. That decision had simply been because she no longer wanted to stay in the Yue Family and endure those strange gazes.

Seeing Yue Rushuang’s gentle and serene demeanor, as well as the maternal glow as she gently caressed her belly, Mu Xiyao became even more curious.

“So, Ye Wushang is really that good, making you give up everything and dedicate yourself fully?”

“Senior Sister, if you have the chance, you’ll understand when you meet someone like him in the future. Then, you’ll understand why I made this choice.”

At this point, Yue Rushuang suddenly seemed to remember something.

She looked Mu Xiyao up and down before nodding, “Senior Sister, why don’t you stay here too? My husband is truly a good person. If not for him, I wouldn’t be where I am today. If you stay and serve him with me, it would be a blessing!”

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiyao’s eyes widened in shock, and immediately, she slapped Yue Rushuang lightly, “You little brat, what are you talking about? You dare joke with me too? I think you’re tired of living!”

Seeing Mu Xiyao’s reaction, Yue Rushuang couldn’t help but laugh, “Hee hee, Senior Sister, my husband isn’t easy to handle. If you stay and get to know him, you’ll see his good side!”

“You’re asking for a beating!” Mu Xiyao gave her a look of embarrassment, causing Yue Rushuang to stop teasing her.

However, for some reason, Mu Xiyao suddenly thought of the image of Ye Wushang stepping into the scene.

The two women continued talking for a while, and only then did Mu Xiyao finally get to the point.

“Rushuang, you really don’t want to go back? The Master has already said that if you return, she will help you restore your identity as the Holy Maiden of Cangyuan Ancient City. With that, the resources you’ll get are beyond what the Ye Family can offer!”

When Yue Rushuang learned that Mu Xiyao had come to persuade her to return, she shook her head, “Senior Sister, I am doing well here. Where my husband goes, I will go too.”

As she spoke, she thought of the mysterious Ye Wushang, “Moreover, I don’t think being with my husband will be any worse than staying in Cangyuan Ancient City.”

Seeing Yue Rushuang so deeply in love, Mu Xiyao couldn’t help but curl her lips. She clearly didn’t believe Yue Rushuang’s words.

How could a small family like the Ye Family compare to the Cangyuan Ancient City?

Seeing that Yue Rushuang was resolute, Mu Xiyao no longer insisted.

Meanwhile, on the other side, after Ye Wushang seated Yue Hai, he got straight to the point.

“Patriarch Yue, if you have business, feel free to speak directly!”
