Chapter 320: Chapter 148: If You Feel Bad about It, Have a Few Children_2 “There’s no need for apologies between us.” “If you truly feel uneasy in your heart, Xi Yue, and one day you manage to break through the supreme level of detachment and have to leave, then have a few children for me.” “As a remembrance of our relationship, let me look upon the children and be reminded of you.” Lu Changsheng said this half-jokingly. “Have children?” When Xiao Xiyue heard these words, her heart trembled slightly, she became briefly lost in thought, and her face revealed a blush of shyness. Having spent so much time with Lu Changsheng, she naturally knew how fond he was of children. But she had never considered the matter of having children. Or rather, most cultivators, unless they see no hope in their path of cultivation, even if they have partners, do not think about having children. Especially someone like Xiao Xiyue, who was at the prime age for vigorous advancement in cultivation, with a bright future ahead, would think even less about having children. Now that Lu Changsheng had brought it up, Xiao Xiyue couldn’t help but genuinely ponder the idea. She thought about having a child for Lu Changsheng. That way, when she left, someone would still be there to keep him company. But the thought of childbirth scared her inexplicably. She remembered hearing as a child that childbirth was like passing through the gates of hell. She also thought about how, if she had a child and she wasn’t around, the child would be motherless and might be bullied by others. For a moment, Xiao Xiyue’s heart raced and her thoughts were in turmoil. “Xi Yue, what are you thinking about?” “You’re not considering what we’re going to name our kids in the future, are you?” Seeing Xiao Xiyue’s blush and her thoughtful, conflicted expression, Lu Changsheng laughed softly. Although he suggested that Xiao Xiyue have children, it was mostly a preventive measure, tilting more towards a joke. After all, she does have a Core Formation master. He dared not truly plan to cajole someone else’s disciple into having children. “Hmph, who said I would have children for you?” Xiao Xiyue looked at Lu Changsheng’s teasing, half-smiling expression, spat lightly, and showed a bit of girlish moodiness. She pounded her little fist on Lu Changsheng’s chest, saying one thing while meaning another. Watching the fairy behave in such a manner, Lu Changsheng shouted ‘aiyo’ in amusement. Then the two of them were affectionate for a while. “Xi Yue, I plan to buy some items in the Qingyun Market and then return to Qingzhu Mountain.” “Are you going back to the Red Leaf Valley Market with me, or…?” Lu Changsheng asked. Cultivating together with Xiao Xiyue in the Qingyun Market, life was undoubtedly pleasant. But after all, he had a family. At home, there were a bunch of wives and children. This trip had already lasted over five months. Having not returned for such a long time, and now that his Foundation Establishment was complete, he naturally had to go back. So, he thought of purchasing materials for crafting the Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp in the Qingyun Market before heading back to Qingzhu Mountain or the Red Leaf Valley Market. “Changsheng, I’ve been away for quite a long time on this trip, and now that I’ve succeeded in Foundation Establishment, I should also make a trip back.” “I will come to find you afterward, Xi Yue.” Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiyue said softly. Having been on her cultivation journey for a while and now that she had succeeded in Foundation Establishment, she needed to go back to report and inform her master. “Alright, when you do, just come directly to Qingzhu Mountain or the Red Leaf Valley Market and contact me.” Lu Changsheng nodded in agreement. The two of them did not linger. They packed up their things, cleaned out the cave dwelling, and prepared to leave. As he left the cave, Lu Changsheng put on his mask artifact once again. Reverting to the disguised appearance he had before. This mask was no longer the lower grade magical instrument he had initially bought, the ‘Hundred Changes Mask.’ It was a higher grade magical instrument with a similar effect. Once disguised, unless faced with a Foundation Establishment cultivator using a special technique or divine skills for seeing through illusions, it was usually impenetrable. Xiao Xiyue, however, did not disguise herself. When she rented the cave dwelling with a token, she had already revealed her identity. And her situation was different from Lu Changsheng’s; she had no such concerns. The two of them opened the cave dwelling and were ready to go downhill to the rental office to return it. At a distance, a young man noticed that Xiao Xiyue’s cave dwelling opened with a ‘boom.’ He immediately got up, his face full of joy as he came forward to congratulate her. But when he saw Xiao Xiyue walking out of the cave closely with an ordinary-looking young man, his body suddenly stiffened, and his previously smiling face turned extremely unsightly. “Meng Brother?” At this moment, Xiao Xiyue also saw the young man and was somewhat surprised. “I heard that Xi Yue was here attempting Foundation Establishment, so I came to congratulate you.” Meng Yibai, with his face looking a bit gloomy and unpleased, said. After speaking, he transformed into a streak of Escape Light and left, entering a nearby ‘Yi’ (meaning ‘second’) character cave dwelling. He knew Xiao Xiyue was renting a cave dwelling to attempt Foundation Establishment and thus stayed outside waiting after he noticed the anomaly in nature’s spiritual energy. He had hoped to immediately congratulate her upon her exit to win the affection of a beautiful person. For this, he even prepared a special gift. But he never expected that Xiao Xiyue would walk out with a man! And that the two of them would show such intimate behavior, looking very much like a couple. He had guessed from the anomaly in nature’s spiritual energy that there might be two people in the cave trying for Foundation Establishment. But he had not considered the possibility of the other being a man. After all, Xiao Xiyue was known in the Qingyun Sect as Fairy Xi Yue, famous for her aloofness and pride. She rarely interacted with people, let alone men. And yet, the usually cold and dignified Fairy Xi Yue was now showing a gentle smile and affectionate behavior towards a man. Thinking about the two of them attempting Foundation Establishment together and staying in the dwelling for months, Meng Yibai felt sick to his stomach. “Slut!” The more Meng Yibai thought about it, the angrier he became, punching the cave’s wall in frustration and grinding his teeth in resentment. “I thought she was so cold and aloof, but now it seems she’s nothing special!” “Who is this person, and why don’t I remember such a person in our sect?” Meng Yibai, thinking of Lu Changsheng’s appearance, had eyes filled with intense murderous intent.
