Chapter 856: Chapter 856: Xia Yunchen’s Fate, A Realm of Life as Long as Heaven and Earth

Xia Yunchen gave a bitter smile, "After all, marriage is a matter of fate, and it’s not that easy to have children."

Qin Ruan nodded, "Let’s talk about it later, they’re only a few months old."

Xia Yunchen grasped the opportunity to continue, "Alright, I’ll contact you after I’m discharged from the hospital."

"Okay."

Qin Ruan turned to leave.

"Changyuan, see Miss Qin out."

"Yes, Family Head—"

Changyuan escorted Qin Ruan to the door, where her smile had faded. She looked at Changyuan with a smirk, "What’s your master’s story?"

"What do you mean?" Changyuan didn’t catch on immediately.

Qin Ruan let out a cold laugh, "I don’t care whether Xia Yunchen has a sister or not, just tell him not to set his sights on me. I hate trouble the most."

Changyuan remained silent, simply watching Qin Ruan.

Qin Ruan continued, "And don’t think about denying it. Xia Yunchen is very strange now. One’s aura might change, but it wouldn’t cause such an earth-shattering change in their fate.

When I met your Family Head before, his fate was just to die a natural death. Yet, today when I met him again, I can no longer see through him. His fate even surpasses that of an ancient beast like you, nearly reaching a realm of longevity equal to heaven and earth."

Changyuan opened his mouth, weakly saying, "The Family Head won’t harm you."

Qin Ruan sneered, "Could it be that he likes me?"

Despite the sarcasm in her words, Changyuan actually nodded, "Mm, he likes you very much."

Qin Ruan, "..."

Is it too late for her to take back her previous words now?

Anger smoldered in Huo Zhi’s eyes.

The fact that the Shadow Emperor liked Madam was something she must report to the Family Head once she got home.

Changyuan didn’t see any problem with his words; to convince Qin Ruan of Xia Yunchen’s affection, he displayed a seriousness and earnestness rarely seen on his sharp and proud face, "The Family Head’s affection for you is deeper than anyone else’s. There is nobody in this world who loves you more than he does."

Standing behind Qin Ruan, Huo Zhi’s eyes blazed with fury, radiating a powerful killing intent, as she coldly glared at Changyuan.

Did this man think she was dead, daring to flirt with the Family Head’s love interest right in front of her?

Qin Ruan’s lips twitched, skeptical of Changyuan’s words.

Xia Yunchen likes her?

Don’t make her laugh!

She didn’t know how exactly to describe liking someone, but it certainly wouldn’t be Xia Yunchen’s elder-like attitude.

It was the same with Third Master, indulgent and doting, but occasionally she could sense the possessiveness stirring in his eyes as he watched her, which was far from an elder’s attitude towards a younger family member.

The details of her interactions with Third Master were completely different from Xia Yunchen’s treatment of her.

Knowing that Changyuan could sometimes be quite naive, Qin Ruan didn’t take his words to heart, "You should go back to take care of your Family Head. And don’t forget to convey my message to him. If he crosses the line, I won’t be soft-hearted."

Changyuan furrowed his brow, unhappily saying, "The Family Head to you—"

"Stop!" Qin Ruan interrupted, "I have a husband and children; my family life is happy and complete. I advise you not to make any more remarks that could cause scandal and damage my marriage. If you don’t understand the ways of the world, you should read more books or have your enlightened and ostensibly noble Family Head personally teach you, lest you say something wrong."

Changyuan’s lips were tightly pressed together, his usual unrestrained arrogance flickering to the surface, "You..."

Qin Ruan raised her hand, "The less said the better. Enough, you don’t need to see me out. I’m leaving."

With that said, she left with Huo Zhi.

Before departing, Huo Zhi gave Changyuan, who stood at the entrance to the hospital room, a few fierce glares.

If looks could kill, this fierce beast would have died countless times over.

Without waiting for Qin Ruan to take the elevator away, Changyuan stormed back to his room, fuming with anger.

Propped up in his hospital bed, Xia Yunchen saw him return and his handsome, gentle face showed a hint of loss, "Has Aruan left?"

Changyuan was ready to blow up like a pufferfish, wrathfully complaining, "She suspects you, master, of harboring ill intentions to sabotage her marriage!"

Xia Yunchen first froze, then chuckled lightly, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"What did you tell her?"

Changyuan repeated verbatim what he had said to Qin Ruan.

Xia Yunchen listened silently, then his expression suddenly changed, "She knows my identity?"

Changyuan frowned, "She shouldn’t know."

Xia Yunchen didn’t relax, and commanded in a stern voice, "Tonight, probe the Huo Family and find out who exactly Huo Third Master is. If it’s that person..."

Changyuan understood and his expression darkened even more, "Master, Huo Third Master is no ordinary person. When Aruan was giving birth, the Netherworld dispatched tens of thousands of Underworld Envoys. The children she bore, one is an Innate Spiritual Body, the other is a Dark Evil Body,"

Changyuan had been present at Qin Ruan’s childbirth, witnessing firsthand the throngs of puppet soldiers deployed by the Netherworld as the two children were born.

Both men were well aware of the likelihood that Huo Third Master was that particular individual.

Xia Yunchen clutched his chest, breathing tight, "We still need to confirm the other party’s identity. If it really is that person, Aruan’s final calamity will be safeguarded."

Seeing him clutch his chest, Changyuan’s scarlet eyes darkened, "I’ll go tonight."

...

Qin Ruan did not return to the Huo residence after leaving the hospital, but instead ordered Huo Zhi to drive towards Tongsha Sky Bridge.

On the way, she called Old Man Song and asked him to set up her stall for her.

She calculated with her fingers and predicted a big deal would come her way that night.

Although she was not short of money, there was no reason to turn away money that came to her.

Knowing that Qin Ruan was setting up her stall, Old Man Song agreed with a laugh.

He didn’t even have dinner and, ignoring the pleas of his son and daughter-in-law, rushed out the door with his meal in hand.

Huo Zhi drove towards Shatian Bridge, hesitating before speaking out, "Madam, the third master has probably arrived home by now. Aren’t you coming home for dinner?"

Qin Ruan didn’t even lift her eyelids, "I have a business deal to discuss this evening. You call home and let them know."

She was staring at a wisp of Black Evil Energy on her fingertip, which she had sucked from the middle-aged man in Xia Yunchen’s hospital room.

Huo Zhi acknowledged with a faint complexity in her eyes.

The master was still unaware that someone was trying to steal his woman, and now the madam was going to set up a stall on Tianqiao, causing her inner turmoil to rage, yet her expression remained undisturbed.

At seven in the evening, Huo Zhi delivered Qin Ruan to Tongsha Sky Bridge on time.

She got out of the car, declining Huo Zhi’s offer to accompany her, and walked towards Tianqiao alone, picking up the tantalizing aromas in the air along the way.

On both sides of the road, snack stalls were set up, with barbecue, grilled squid, stinky tofu, oden, skewers, and other various scents mingling together, wafting around Qin Ruan.

She hadn’t had dinner, and the foodie within was already being tempted.

However, she didn’t forget that she was still breastfeeding, and despite being tempted, she chose to suppress her craving for these additive-laden snacks.

"Fellow practitioner Qin, over here, over here!"

Old Man Song spotted Qin Ruan instantly and excitedly waved from his stand.

Two Divination Inquisitors stood side by side, while a few curious young men and women clustered around the stall.

Hearing Old Man Song abandon his former sage-like persona, they followed his gaze towards Qin Ruan.
