Zhu Xian: The way of heaven collapses, and I only have one sword!

Chapter 96 I want both the fish and the bear’s paw!
Moonlight streamed across the courtyard like water, casting a silver veil over this small world. Chen Qiye, holding Lu Xueqi in his arms, slowly walked into the house. The candlelight flickered, its light and shadow crisscrossing the walls, illuminating the silhouettes of the two people leaning against each other.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the cracks in the window, gently casting a shadow on Chen Qiye's face. He slowly opened his eyes, and beside him, Lu Xueqi was still sleeping, her eyes filled with gentleness and tranquility.

The sunlight gradually grew stronger, pouring through the window into the house, illuminating the entire room. Lu Xueqi's eyelashes fluttered slightly under the gentle caress of the warm sunlight, and she slowly opened her eyes. She was drowsy and a little confused for a moment, until she saw Chen Qiye sitting by the bed, gazing at her affectionately, and she finally woke up.

Lu Xueqi's cheeks flushed slightly, and as she recalled the tenderness of last night, her heart was filled with sweetness and shyness. She sat up gently, pulled the quilt over herself, and avoided Chen Qiye's fiery gaze.

"I ate you all up, and you're still shy." Chen Qiye smiled lightly.

Lu Xueqi spat softly, reached out and punched Chen Qiye, and said angrily, "You only know how to talk nonsense."

Chen Qiye smiled, took her hand, and gently pulled her into his arms, placing a kiss on her hair. He glanced at the blue book on the table and said with a wicked grin, "Next time I see Zeng Shushu, I'll have to thank him properly. If it weren't for him, I don't know how I could be so close to you."

When Lu Xueqi heard this, her cheeks instantly turned redder. She pounded his chest lightly and said, "I was just saying that, but you let him do whatever he wants. If you hadn't looked so nervous, I wouldn't have become suspicious and looked through it."

Chen Qiye held her hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed it gently: "It's my fault. I just wanted to hide it at the time, but I didn't expect that the more I explained, the worse it got." After saying this, he leaned closer and whispered in Lu Xueqi's ear: "Actually, I should thank that book for bringing so much fun to our relationship."

Lu Xueqi, embarrassed and annoyed, broke free from his embrace, grabbed some clothes, and began to dress. After putting on her clothes, Lu Xueqi turned her back to Chen Qiye, trying to calm her inner shyness and panic. Although she was already a mother, she still found it difficult to withstand Chen Qiye's direct and intimate words.

Chen Qiye looked at her from behind, a gentle smile on his lips, and he also stood up and began to pack his luggage. After everything was packed, he walked behind Lu Xueqi, gently placed his hands on her shoulders, and said softly: "Qi'er, after everything is over, give Sui'an a brother or sister."

When Lu Xueqi heard this, her body stiffened slightly, and her cheeks became hot again. She gently slapped Chen Qiye's hand away and scolded him, "You only know how to say such shameless words, and you don't even consider the time."

"Qier, I told you before that you are the worst at lying." Chen Qiye smiled softly, turned around and gently embraced Lu Xueqi in his arms, kissed her on the forehead, and said softly, "Qier, I am serious."

Lu Xueqi leaned in his arms, feeling his warm embrace, her heart filled with tenderness and sweetness, yet a little shy, she said softly: "Okay... okay..."

After a brief stop at Qingyun Sect, Chen Qiye reluctantly bid farewell to Lu Xueqi and Chen Sui'an, then transformed into a streak of purple light and sped off towards the Ghost King Sect. Now, bearing the name of Heavenly Dao and serving as the Ghost King Sect's deputy leader, he was destined to navigate the delicate balance between good and evil in the impending Dao-Demon Calamity.

Returning to the Ghost King Sect, Chen Qiye sensed a sense of oppression as he entered the main hall. The Ghost King sat in the main seat, his expression gloomy. Upon seeing Chen Qiye enter, he raised his head slightly, motioning for him to sit down.

"Have you been to Qingyun?" asked the Ghost King in a low voice.

"Of course, how is Bi Yao now?" Chen Qiye nodded and asked.

"What do you say about carrying your child?" the Ghost King said unhappily.

"I'll go take a look." With that, Chen Qiye stood up and walked out.

Chen Qiye walked quickly towards the room, feeling a mixture of emotions. He pushed open the door, and the room was filled with a faint medicinal aroma.

Bi Yao was half leaning against the headboard, her face slightly pale. Seeing Chen Qiye come in, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes: "Qi...Qiye, have you recovered your memory?"

"A rabbit doesn't eat grass near its burrow, but you just ate me up completely." Chen Qiye smiled bitterly, slowly walked to Bi Yao's bed and sat down, looking at her slightly bulging belly, his eyes full of complicated emotions.

"Qiye, what do you want now..." Biyao said hesitantly. She was afraid that Chen Qiye, after regaining his memory, would not recognize her or the child in her belly. Chen Qiye placed a kiss on Biyao's forehead and whispered, "Do you understand what I'm thinking?"

Biyao's eyes instantly moistened, tears welling up in her eyes. She choked with sobs and raised her hand to gently touch Chen Qiye's cheek: "Qiye, I'm so scared..."

Chen Qiye held her hand and pressed it tightly against his face: "Yao'er, you can't be sad now. If your emotions fluctuate too much, it will affect the baby in your belly. Can you bear it?"

After hearing what Chen Qiye said, Bi Yao nodded hurriedly, holding back her tears and trying to calm herself down.

"Call me husband." Chen Qiye pinched Bi Yao's pretty face and said.

Bi Yao's cheeks flushed, her eyes filled with shyness as she gently opened her lips: "Husband...Sir."

"Let's have more children in the future." Chen Qiye said with a smile.

Bi Yao patted Chen Qiye's hand with a light smile: "Husband, how can I have the final say on this?"

Chen Qiye's lips curled up, his smile deepened, and he gently scratched Biyao's nose: "Why, Yao'er, do you think your husband is not capable of this? When the child is born, I will definitely let you see that this room will be full of bustling and lively people who are all our children."

Bi Yao's cheeks burned hot, and she gently punched his chest. "You only know how to brag, and aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others? I don't know what's going on in your head all day, just thinking about these nonsense."

"Husband, Lu Xueqi..." After a moment, Bi Yao said hesitantly.

"Some say you can't have your cake and eat it too, but I don't think so. You and Qi'er are both my legally wedded wives." Chen Qiye gently covered Bi Yao's mouth and said softly, "Yao'er, don't worry. Since I've married you, I will protect you for the rest of your lives. As for Xueqi, she also understands your existence. We have already reached a tacit understanding. You and she are equally important to me."

Bi Yao blinked, tears welling up in her eyes, her voice choked with sobs: "Qi Ye, I'm just afraid that she will be wronged, and that you will be embarrassed."

"Still crying?" Chen Qiye gently wiped away the tears from Bi Yao's eyes, his eyes gentle but firm. "Silly Yao'er, don't cry anymore. You and Xueqi are both indispensable people in my life. How could I let either of you suffer any injustice?"

Bi Yao nodded slightly and leaned in Chen Qiye's arms.

"Okay, I'll only stay in the Ghost King Sect for a while this time. I still have to go out later." After Chen Qiye comforted Bi Yao and kissed her on the forehead, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Bi Yao quickly grabbed Chen Qiye's hand, her eyes filled with reluctance: "Husband, where are you going now? When will you be back?"

"Fenxiang Valley, if nothing unexpected happens, it will be soon. Yao'er, your current task is to take care of the fetus and ensure the safe birth of the baby in your belly." Chen Qiye said after thinking for a while.

Bi Yao watched Chen Qiye's departing figure, her heart filled with reluctance, but the thought of the child in her belly forced her to cheer herself up. She gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised, her eyes filled with tenderness and anticipation.
