One person established a clan

Chapter 451 Under the Stars
The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.

The group traversed green mountains and crossed rivers, finally stopping before a magnificent waterfall.

Wen Qimeng, dressed lightly with her long hair tied in a braid, looked up at the cascading waterfall and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"I never imagined that such scenery could be hidden within the Eastern Chen Kingdom."

"Amazing"

The young woman watched intently, exclaiming in amazement.

Although I have traveled with Su Cheng to many extraordinary places, such a perfectly formed natural wonder still captivates my heart and soul.

General Hei stood on the giant rock, looking up at the mist filling the air, and felt a pang of regret.

"It's a pity she couldn't be here in person to enjoy it together."

There will always be other opportunities in the future.

Su Cheng walked over with a smile and casually put a sun hat on her head. "Once things are completely stable in the Dark Domain, we can bring Yue'er here together, and then we can travel together."

General Hei lightly adjusted the brim of his hat, his usually cold expression softening slightly. "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

"Since I've brought you all out for a trip, I naturally need to take good care of the girl. Let's go in the water!"

Su Cheng then called Wen Qimeng and the young lady to jump into the water together, where they laughed and played under the waterfall.

As General Hei watched this scene, a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

"Miss Leng, here you go."

A soft female voice sounded from the side, followed by a plate of steaming hot meat skewers.

General Black glanced to the side and saw Flora gracefully stepping onto the rocky summit. A gentle breeze stirred her black lotus-like dress, making her figure appear even more slender and alluring.

But those slender hands held a skewer of grilled meat, adding a touch of everyday life to the scene.

"Your Majesty is too kind."

"You don't need to call us that in private."

Seeing her accept the meat skewer, Flora gave a friendly smile: "Addressing each other according to age and seniority makes us seem closer."

General Hei hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement.

"However, this meat skewer is..."

"My aunt and the others are starting a fire to cook."

Flora smiled, smoothed her hair, and took a small bite of the piping hot meat skewer. "I picked some up on the way, so you can try some too."

General Hei turned around and saw wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys in the distance. He nodded and said, "Miss Duanmu and the others are indeed gentle and virtuous. In human terms, they would be what we call virtuous wives and good mothers."

"That's it."

Flora's expression was slightly strange.

General Hei glanced at her again: "Miss Fu, I remember you always wore a veil, but now..."

"Now that I'm married to my husband, the clan rules don't restrict me, but I want to continue to stay with him for my sake."

Flora smiled with a hint of playfulness: "But when our whole family goes out, we're all family, so there's no need to hide anything."

General Hei's eyes flickered slightly, and he chuckled knowingly.

Although this lady was usually quiet, she was still young and had the lively side of a human girl at heart.

"By the way, how is your leg recovery going?"

"Eh?"

Flora was stunned for a moment, her oily little mouth slightly open.

General Hei raised an eyebrow slightly: "I remember you were walking unsteadily and staggeringly before, needing His Majesty's support."

"N-nothing!" Flora quickly shook her head, her pretty face instantly turning red with embarrassment.

Recalling everything that happened last night, she blushed and bit her lip, feeling incredibly embarrassed.

After all, at that time, her husband was making love with her aunt in bed while simultaneously cultivating their minds and spirits together in the depths of his soul.
So much so that when I woke up early in the morning, my whole body felt like it had been through three hundred battles, and even my bones felt like they were going to melt.

"Cough cough, I'm much better now."

"That's good."

"Ah!" A sudden exclamation came from behind.

The two turned around and saw Shi Xuan rushing towards them, eagerly leaping into the waterfall, and playfully scolding, "You rascal, take this!"

In an instant, water droplets rose up from the waterfall.

General Hei chuckled, "Empress Xuan is usually aloof and ethereal, but sometimes she's like a young girl."

"Sister Xuan came from a special background and used to focus solely on cultivation, never experiencing much of a carefree time."

Flo calmed herself down a little and said softly, "Only by my uncle's side can I let down my guard and laugh and sing without any worries."

"I see."

Hey! You two, why don't you come down and give it a try too!

Shi Xuan waved repeatedly through the mist, her smile bright: "The water here is so refreshing!"

Flo turned her head to look at General Black, and smiled helplessly: "I'm not going into the water, you."

"Let me try."

General Black quickly finished his meat skewers, then leaped nimbly, drawing a graceful arc in the air before plunging into the water with a splash.

Her black hair flowed freely in the waves, and her black robe clung to her body, outlining her voluptuous and graceful curves.

She gazed at the shimmering waves at the bottom of the lake, her heart brimming with joy. Just as she was about to paddle and swim, her fair wrist was suddenly grabbed.

"Ok?"

General Hei was slightly startled and turned around, only to be embraced by Su Cheng, who had swum in stealthily, and kissed his lips precisely.

"."

Her eyes widened slightly, then softened again.

Su Cheng's eyes were filled with a smile as his hands roamed and caressed her body. In the rippling lake, they were both lost in a passionate embrace.
Beside the campfire, two figures with distinct styles were busy preparing lunch.

Bai Lingling gently stirred the fresh porridge in the pot, scooped up a bit with a spoon, tasted it briefly, and her bright eyes shone like stars.

"Mmm, very fresh and sweet!"

Her delicate, porcelain-like face instantly blossomed into a gentle, radiant smile.

Duanmu Jing sat to the side, flipping several skewers of grilled meat in her hands. Seeing her radiant appearance, she couldn't help but smile and sigh inwardly.

"No wonder Cheng'er is so infatuated with Lingling. Such a gentle and generous little mother is truly lovable."

"Duanmu".

Bai Lingling ladled out a bowl of porridge and handed it to him with a smile: "Would you like to try some first?"

"Thank you for your trouble." Duanmu Jing smiled gently and handed her a few skewers of meat. "I'll take care of Xiao Niang tonight, so you should make the most of this opportunity."

"Chance?"

Bai Lingling was stunned for a moment, then blinked blankly.

Meeting the beautiful woman's slightly teasing gaze, she immediately understood and her pretty face flushed slightly.

"What are you talking about? It's still broad daylight!"

"Cheng'er is so busy, opportunities don't wait for anyone." Duanmu Jing rested her chin on her hand and teased softly, "The way you looked at Cheng'er today was almost overflowing with sweetness."

Bai Lingling blushed and wiped the corner of her eye.

"No, no, that's an exaggeration."

Despite this, a small sense of anticipation also stirred within her.

"However, you won't be with Cheng'er tonight."

"Ahem, even I need to rest for a while."

Duanmu Jing's smile froze slightly, and she rubbed her lower abdomen with a hint of embarrassment, her gaze involuntarily drifting towards the waterfall.

"That child's physical strength is beyond comprehension. Even my body cannot withstand such torment."

"."

Upon hearing this, the two women looked at each other and fell into an awkward silence.

Duanmu Jing coughed lightly twice, her cheeks flushed: "As for Ming Tian, ​​he seems to have disappeared these past two days. Could he have already left Dongchen?"

"Still."

Bai Lingling said shyly in a low voice, "I've always stayed in the imperial city."

I wonder what she's thinking now.

Duanmu Jing pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and looked around in confusion: "Hongxi went out hunting, why hasn't she come back yet?" Everyone had already divided up the tasks for this picnic, each performing their own duties.

These fresh meat skewers were what Lü Hongxi had recently hunted. But nearly half an hour had passed, and there was still no sign of her.
Pop, pop, pop!

A faint sound drifted from the woods on the wind.

Duanmu Jing and Bai Lingling were both taken aback. They exchanged a glance and understood what was going on.

"No wonder he didn't come back. So he was doing that kind of bad thing with Xiao Su."

"Just now I saw Cheng'er playing in the water with the little aunts, and then he turned around and went into the grove with Hongxi."

Duanmu Jing couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle: "Cheng'er really never has a moment's rest."

Bai Lingling's eyes sparkled, and a sweet smile quietly appeared on her lips. "Young people, it's fine to let them have some fun."

In the imperial palace, the court assembly of all officials was temporarily suspended.

With the help of her maid, Feng Sha returned to the study to rest for a while.

At this moment, she had long lost the charming languidness of the morning; her brows and eyes exuded an imposing aura, and her empress-like charisma made all the officials tremble with fear.

"take it."

The Empress, her expression indifferent, handed the completed memorial to a maid beside her. "Pass down the order: there must be no oversight."

"As ordered."

After the maidservant took the tea and left, Feng Sha breathed a slight sigh of relief and took a sip of tea.

Now that she has been on the throne for about six months, she is already very adept at handling state affairs and does not feel tired.

But whenever I have free time, I can't help but think of my dear husband.
Feng Sha suddenly smiled sweetly, all her majesty vanished, leaving only her eyes full of sweetness.

"Have all government affairs been handled properly?"

Just then, a figure quietly appeared beside the table.

Feng Sha's smile froze, and she quickly straightened her expression, clearing her throat lightly: "Everything has been properly handled. After the meal, we will discuss the matter with the higher-ups of the various sects."

"it is good."

Shiyi nodded calmly and placed the brocade box on the table. "Cheng'er and I have prepared lunch for you. Please have a taste."

"Eh?" Feng Sha was quite surprised to hear this: "Didn't my husband go out to play in the water with everyone?"

"With his escape techniques, a round trip would only take the blink of an eye."

Eleven smiled faintly: "Then come with me to the imperial kitchen to prepare these, as a little surprise for you."

Feng Sha felt a warmth in her heart and couldn't help but smile gently: "My husband is really something, still thinking of others even at a time like this."

As the Empress who now reigns over the Five Desolate Domains, she cannot easily leave her throne and travel. Seeing Su Cheng and the others going out to enjoy the scenery, she felt a little envious, but not jealous or upset.

However, receiving such care from Su Cheng truly warmed her heart.
"Eat it while it's hot."

"Ah."

Although they were just some home-style dishes, Feng Sha felt extremely satisfied after only a few bites.

She scooped up a few mouthfuls of rice, her phoenix eyes darting around as she looked at Eleven, who was dining with her, and suddenly couldn't help but chuckle.

"Ok?"

Eleven paused slightly with his chopsticks, blinking in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Feng Sha stroked her hair and smiled, "It just suddenly feels like I'm having a meal with my mother-in-law right now."

Eleven paused for a moment, then smiled slightly, "I am extremely satisfied that Cheng'er has such a good wife like you."

Upon hearing this, Feng Sha smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Grandma~"

She quickly put some more food on Eleven's plate. "You should eat more too. You worked so hard last night, you can't go hungry."

"Okay."

Eleven responded instinctively, then suddenly his expression froze.

Feng Sha immediately realized her slip of the tongue and paused in her actions.

The two women seemed to be frozen in time, maintaining a subtle silence.

".cough."

After a moment, Eleven said calmly, "No need to overthink it, just do as usual."

Feng Sha blushed and whispered, "I understand, I won't tease you, Mother-in-law."

Eleven's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

Now I just feel that the term 'mother-in-law' is really strange and awkward.

After all, what happened last night...
"From now on, let's just call each other sisters."

"Okay, Mother-in-law is right, cough cough, Sister is right."

Feng Sha quickly changed her tune, clearing her throat somewhat awkwardly: "However, sister is truly in good health; she's already moving around as usual today."

“That was Cheng’er’s deliberate concern.”

"Oh, I see."

Feng Sha noticed the slight blush on Eleven's cheeks and felt a pang of embarrassment herself.

After all, the current status and relationship between the two parties are indeed somewhat confusing.

Even though she looks dignified and composed now, last night she was holding her husband and calling him sweetly and softly.
Night fell again, and the stars and moon filled the sky.

The firelight flickered gently beside the lake, and the air was filled with the aroma of cooking.

Several figures sat side by side, exuding warmth and creating a cozy and sweet atmosphere.

Su Cheng fed the little lady sitting in his lap a shrimp ball. Seeing her eyes light up as she ate it, he smiled and fed her several more bites.

"Eating so much, be careful you don't gain weight!"

Wen Qimeng leaned closer and teased with a smile, "You'll turn into a big fat fox then."

The little girl puffed out her cheeks, chewed slowly, and smiled sweetly, "Brother likes you when you're chubby~"

Su Cheng: “.”

Duanmu Jing and the others beside her chuckled.

Before Su Cheng could even 'explain', the little auntie smiled and said, "Just like Aunt Jing and Sister Hongxi, so big and chubby, it shook so much when you patted it, brother!"

Duanmu Jing: "."

Lü Hongxi: "."

Shi Xuan and Wen Qimeng subconsciously looked down at themselves, and the smiles on their faces suddenly became somewhat subtle.

Flora shook her head and sighed softly as she ate her meal in silence.

Su Cheng pinched the little girl's cheek again. "Does that girl want to grow up to look like Aunt Jing and the others?"

"Ok!"

The little girl looked up, her eyes sparkling. "Then, I can cover my brother's face with my chubby cheeks too!"

"Cough cough!"

Feeling the strange gazes around him, Su Cheng almost choked.

Just as he was about to change the subject, the black general beside him suddenly sharpened his eyes and looked up at the sky.

"Someone is coming."

As soon as the words were spoken, a holy and enchanting figure slowly drifted down under the moonlight.

"The way of heaven?"

Su Cheng asked in surprise, "You've already found the crux of the problem?"

"Yes, we need help right now."

Tiandao nodded calmly, about to say something, but seeing that everyone was eating, he said in a low voice, "Wait until you've finished eating before you speak."

"It's alright, I'll go with you."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "I've already made you work all day on your own, how could I let you wait any longer?"

Shi Xuan and the others nodded in agreement. They naturally understood the priorities and wouldn't get entangled in unnecessary disputes.

But just as he was about to get up, the little girl in his arms gently tugged at his sleeve: "Brother, is there anything I can do to help?"

"My dear girl, you can stay here peacefully."

"can."

Tiandao suddenly spoke up, calmly saying, "Let this girl come along; perhaps she can indeed be of help."
