said, "You can blame me for your legs almost being broken, but you should blame your husband for your waist almost being broken! He's the one who made you work so hard."Before I could retort, a small...Mu Xiaqiao held a noble position; she was the fairy consort of the Underworld Emperor, but she never acted like someone in command.
Her eyes are only on her family, she has no desire for power at all.
I held Little Yugu in my arms, Little Yugu played with my necklace and pouch, as well as the bracelets. I played along with Little Yugu while soothing the little mistress: “Don’t be angry, Mistress. Children all like sweet things. Carrot puree tastes medicinal to them, of course they wouldn't like it.”
"But I can't just not feed them…" The young wife was troubled: "Before, Younan and Yu Gui were very easy to take care of, they ate whatever I gave them, but now... Sigh, Lan Xi alone gives me a headache."
Based on my observations, these three little ancestors are quite different. Younan is a talented boy who doesn't need to be worried about and takes good care of himself, even capable of handling things independently. Xiao Yu is soft, cute, and very pampered as the apple of everyone's eye. Lan Xi, on the other hand, is mischievous, clever, and a bit of a rascal.
No need to ask, surrounded by these three little masters, the young mistress is busy every day, where would she feel bored
"Little wife, next time you use apples to stew some water and mix it with the vegetable puree, Xiaolanxi tasted the sweet aftertaste, and she was willing to eat it. You try it." I said.
The young wife nodded, with a look of helplessness: "I'll try right away. These three little devils are especially mischievous when they're with me. In front of Jiang Qiyun, they're as docile as kittens. I'm really worn out by them."
"...Because you're so gentle, children will naturally take advantage of you."
"Oh... By the way, how did you get here Didn't you say there was a ceremony at midnight tonight Shouldn't you be busy" Mu Xiaoqiao asked.
"That's the problem!" I hurriedly sat up straight and whispered to Mu Xia Qiao, "Junior Sister, you've been here for a while now, have you heard of any strange customs here"
"What kind of strange custom" The young wife's eyes widened.
"... Mu Wanchen said that during the time of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, he wore a Zhou dynasty ritual robe, all black! I found it a little scary. Making offerings in the middle of the night dressed in all black, I'm afraid someone might cheat me." I mumbled softly, "Before, I almost got cheated by a man from the Si Clan!"
Mu Xiaqiao frowned slightly and shook her head. "I can only guarantee that Mu Wanchen is not a bad person. He knows his limits, and he has a good temper. He won't deceive you... As for the rest, I can't say for sure. I haven't had much interaction with the residents here... But it's best to be cautious."
"How should I be careful I don't even have the ability to protect myself. Most people here use magic and poisons, and I don't understand any of it."
“Don’t be afraid, Mu Wanchen left a female Gu on you and also gave you his token and a paper effigy. These things are to protect you from unexpected harm… Rest assured, although he looks a bit fierce, he is actually very thoughtful.”
Is the little wife speaking up for him like this
"I used to think he was a bad person, very fierce, but actually he's very easy to talk to. I think he should be very accommodating to you, don't believe me Try it, hee hee." The young mistress smiled with a deep meaning in her eyes.
"How do I try"
"Well... Before, I thought that extraordinary people like Jiang Qiyun and Mu Wanchen didn't have ordinary emotions. In fact... they weren't difficult to get along with either. You just need to try doing something with Mu Wanchen, and you'll see his words and actions. He actually listens very carefully, and he is incredibly, incredibly kind."
What Kindness! I was astonished and my eyes widened.

"Don't disbelieve me! It's true. Mu Wanchen is very fond of living beings. Several years ago, when Jiang Qiyun destroyed the village of Corpse Refiners, he saved several children and even persuaded Jiang Qiyun not to destroy them. Jiang Qiyun stopped." Mu Xiaqiao looked up at the ceiling, recalling past events.
"And in our later interactions, whenever we asked him for help with anything, he never hesitated. He wasn't just kind to people; he was also very caring towards birds and animals, plants and trees… A man like that couldn't possibly be a bad person."
Mu Xia Qiao smiled at me: "Actually, you should understand him better than we do. He doesn't show himself in front of us, but he should be more honest in front of you."
"...But I'm still worried, I don't know what kind of ceremony tonight will be... In the middle of the night, with priestesses and shaman... It's so mysterious and spooky. It doesn't feel like a wedding at all."
Mu Xiaqiao frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and said, "What if... I quietly go take a look at night Although these clansmen respect me, I am still an outsider. It's not appropriate to participate in such rituals without hesitation... I'll have Jiang Qiyun take me there, we hide inside the magic circle, that way you won't be afraid~”
Oh, my little wife is truly an angel, so understanding.
"Thank you, little mistress. I feel a bit uneasy being alone here. It hasn't even reached the agreed-upon wedding date yet, and I haven't informed my family to come over... But this place is so ostracizing, it's unlikely they would all come." I scratched my head.
“Don’t worry~ My brother has already told me about this. At that time, they will go to the Dharma Gate in the southeast corner, and let Mu Wanchen send someone to pick them up… My brother knows the way.” Mu Xia Qiao comforted me: “You will be the wife of the Witch King and the Witch Queen of this place in the future. You have to behave magnanimously at the sacrifice to impress people… The people here are very traditional.”
"How traditional is it" I pressed.
“Well… let’s just say, if they viewed you as their matriarch, they would willingly die for you with a single command... But gaining their recognition isn't easy. It's incredibly difficult to unite people's hearts. Jiang Qiyun has said it several times, that Mu Wanchen manages hundreds of thousands of people here, and even a celestial being like him might not be able to do it.”
Mu Xia Qiao paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "Xiao Yin Luo, you are so smart and quick-witted, why don't you help him share his worries"
What can I do for you, won't make a mess.
At this moment, a maid tiptoed in and bowed to Mu Xiaoqiao and You Nan Xia Zuo Zong: "It seems there's a loophole in the Southeast corner gate formation. The divine talismans can't completely suppress it, Young Mistress, young master, please give instructions."
Mu Xiaqiao's expression was one of surprise: "Talismans can't suppress it Was there some powerful figure who forcibly invaded"
Before the maid could answer, Younan stretched her little arms and legs and jumped down from the couch. She said to Mu Xiaoqiao, "Mother, I'll go take a look."
Mu Xia Qiao looked at him worriedly, "You're just a child, don't go to dangerous places. Where's your master"
"Back to the upper realm... It's fine, I'll take Xiao Nie with me to see what's going on. I'll report back to Father when he returns." You Nan's calmness and composure make even an adult like me ashamed.
As Younan stepped out the door, he turned back to me and said, "Senior sister, why don't you come with me"
I
At that moment, my brain froze. Suddenly, I saw a "wicked grin" on his lips, and I was taken aback.
This little ancestor definitely has other plans.
It's definitely telling me to go back and study the pot!!"My God! Fu Zhu, run!"" … He can't run." Husband's voice was calm. This guy is a pessimist, isn't heIf I had a whip in my hand, I would definitely give it two lashes, even if I had to kneel and apol...
