Chapter 479: Boundless Master
A child! Ye Guan looked a little surprised by the lady's words. He didn't expect her to say something like that. Ye Guan stared at the lady, waiting for her to continue speaking
"Young Lord Ye, you seem a little surprised." The lady pointed out.
"I am."
"Why are you so surprised?"
"It's natural to have children after getting married, but for you to bring it up all of a sudden"
"Go ahead."
"Do you know something, Mother-in-law?"
A complicated look flashed past the lady's eyes as she said softly, "Young Lord Ye, I don't know much about your personality or your character, but the fact that you can get along with Nanqing means you must be a great and kind person. After all, Nanqing rarely gets along with others."
Ye Guan glanced at Ye Nanqing behind him. She was indeed a bit reserved and taciturn. She seemed rather approachable on the surface, but she was actually quite cold deep inside. People would surely find it difficult to connect with her.
However, it wasn't strange at all. This place was different from Blue Planet. Most people here, whether men or women, spent most of their time in closed-door cultivation. They weren't particularly concerned with socializing. After all, closed-door cultivation could sometimes last for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Cultivation eroded human nature. The higher one's cultivation base, the less humanity they would have. When one could live for thousands or millions of years, one would become indifferent to many things.
The lady added, "Young Lord Ye, Nanqing was a target of bullying when she was young, as she couldn't cultivate back then. However, she never complained and endured everything quietly.
"However, that's exactly what I'm worried about. She's indifferent toward our clan members and those around her; she doesn't even think of them as her family."
Ye Guan frowned as he pondered silently.
The lady stared deeply at Ye Guan and said, "You're the first ever person that Nanqing managed to get along with. I'm happy to see the both of you hanging out like good friends."
Ye Guan contemplated for a moment before saying, "Mother-in-law, even though this is a marriage for mutual benefit, please rest assured. I would never harm her."
"You should have a child with her," the lady said once again.
Ye Guan didn't say anything. His keen intuition was telling him that the lady had discovered something, which was the reason she was insisting on making Ye Guan have a child with Ye Nanqing.
"Nanqing has an alluring physique. If you sleep with her, the sensation you'll experience is definitely going to be out of this world. You know what I'm talking about, right?"
Ye Guan was astonished. What the hell? Mother-in-law, I don't think it's appropriate for us to talk about that here
Ye Nanqing's face flushed red, but she quickly regained her composure. She shook her head and smiled. Ye Nanqing had seen through her mother's intentions; her mother wanted her to have a child with Ye Guan to bind Ye Guan to her.
Otherwise, their relationship would easily crumble once Ye Guan departed. Even if Ye Guan had some affection for her, the quality of that affection would be questionable.
However, it would be a different story if they ended up having a child.
One could choose not to help one's woman, but what about one's child?
Ye Nanqing had accurately deduced the lady's train of thought.
Ye Guan did a double take at the lady. An alluring physique?
Ye Guan thought about it, and a strange feeling rose in his heart. Then, he shook his head to suppress that feeling before cursing inwardly, Damn it, my Mad Demon Bloodline!
Mad Demon Bloodline: ""
The lady asked, "Young Lord Ye, what do you think?"
Ye Guan glanced at Ye Nanqing and saw her standing quietly, resembling a lotus that would bloom even in the muddiest conditions.
Ye Nanqing noticed Ye Guan's gaze, but she remained composed and even smiled at him.
Ye Guan smiled back at her, withdrew his gaze, and turned to the lady. "Mother-in-law, Nanqing appears to be gentle and delicate, but she's actually a very opinionated and decisive individual. Don't be deceived by our seemingly friendly interaction. In her eyes, I am probably just like any other person."
The lady frowned, looking a little puzzled as she asked, "Why do you say that?"
Ye Guan sounded serious as he replied, "A thick sheet of ice does not melt in a day. Lady Nanqing's personality didn't develop overnight, and it will not change just because she just met someone whom she can get along with.
"Furthermore, I've realized something over the past several days. She's actually a very decisive person despite her outward appearance. Moreover, I think you're the reason why she agreed to this marriage alliance in the first place, am I right?"
The lady cast an astonished gaze at Ye Guan. It turned out that he had underestimated the young man. The lady believed that individuals with powerful family backgrounds were often arrogant but dull.
However, Ye Guan's words just now made it clear that he was completely different from what she had imagined. No wonder her daughter could get along with him despite her cold and reserved nature.
Ye Guan added, "Mother-in-law, we should just let things go with the flow."
The lady looked at Ye Guan and sighed before going silent. It seemed that her assumption was right: Ye Nanqing and Ye Guan had reached an agreement with each other, and they were both opinionated individuals.
Regardless, Ye Nanqing had to give birth to Ye Guan's child.
Having made up her mind, the lady spoke once more, "Not only does Nanqing have an alluring physique, but she's also a renowned"
"Mom!" Ye Nanqing interrupted and stared at her with a hint of embarrassment and anger in her eyes.
Ye Nanqing knew that she had to stop her mother. Otherwise, no one would be able to deduce how many embarrassing things her mother would say about her.
"I'll leave you both alone, then," the lady said, sighing.
Then, the lady turned around to leave.
Ye Guan's curiosity was piqued. Aside from her alluring physique, Ye Nanqing is also a renowned what?
Ye Nanqing walked up to Ye Guan, interrupting the latter's train of thought.
"What are you thinking right now?" Ye Nanqing asked.
Ye Guan blinked, but he didn't say anything.
Ye Nanqing shook her head with a smile upon instantly deducing that Ye Guan had to be thinking of something dirty.
Ye Guan sounded serious as he said, "Lady Nanqing, your mother is worried about you."
"I know."
"But you don't seem worried about yourself at all."
"I don't really have any enemies; why would I be worried about myself?"
"Lady Nanqing, I noticed something."
"What is it?"
"You are a little mysterious."
"Is that so?"
"You gave me the impression of a gentle and frail girl when I first saw you. I even pitied you, and I didn't want you to become a pawn in this marriage alliance. I was looking for a solution, but I realized that I must have been mistaken.
"You've been nothing but calm and composed all this while. You remained unfazed, even when the Time Reversers ambushed us here. Your composure either means you have great courage orYe Guan trailed off with a smile.
Ye Nanqing chuckled. "Or?"
Ye Guan grabbed her hand just then, and Ye Nanqing didn't resist.
Ye Guan stared at her in confusion, as she was really just a Time Immortal.
Was I mistaken? Ye Guan thought, frowning.
Ye Nanqing smiled faintly at Ye Guan.
"Master Pagoda, is she really just a Time Immortal?" Ye Guan asked Little Pagoda.
Little Pagoda calmly replied, "I'm just a pagoda."
Ye Guan's expression y darkened. Now, you're telling me that you're just a pagoda?
"Young Lord Ye, what are you doing?" Ye Nanqing asked.
Ye Guan retracted his hand and looked up. "Lady Nanqing, we're getting married today."
"That's right." Ye Nanqing nodded calmly.
Ye Nanqing's calmness was bewildering to Ye Guan. Is she really just a Time Immortal? Perhaps she's pretending to be weak while planning something bigger.
Ye Nanqing's light smile deepened ever so slightly as she stared at Ye Guan. She could tell that Ye Guan had gotten suspicious of her.
Ye Guan's frown soon loosened, and he chose not to ask any further questions.
A palace maid approached the both of them just then. She bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, Young Lord Ye, please proceed to the Dressing Hall and change clothes."
Ye Guan nodded. "Okay."
Then, both of them followed the palace maid into the distance.
Ye Nanqing suddenly said, "Young Lord Ye."
"What is it?" Ye Guan answered.
Ye Nanqing looked at him and glanced at her hand. "Can you please let go of my hand?"
Ye Guan was stunned as he quickly let go of her hand. However, he wasn't embarrassed; he even smiled gently and said, "Lady Nanqing's hand is so smooth and tender; holding your hand feels like I'm not holding anything at all. It is a truly rare sensation."
Little Pagoda was shocked. This little bastard used to be so honest and upright; where did he suddenly learn how to flirt with the ladies? Is it the Mad Demon Bloodline influencing him?
Mad Demon Bloodline: ""
"You're a little slimy, you know that?" Ye Nanqing pointed out with a shake of her head, but she didn't seem annoyed at all. After all, Ye Guan's gaze toward her was always pure, without any lewd intentions.
Ye Guan said, "Lady Nanqing, you're not an ordinary woman. You must view relationships between men and women as nothing special, but I do have a small piece of advice."
Ye Nanqing stared at Ye Guan, waiting quietly for what he had to say.
Ye Guan chuckled and said, "Cultivating the Dao, pursuing the divine, and extinguishing human desiresas one progresses in cultivation, it is poignant, but loneliness is inevitable.
"Lady Nanqing, you're still young, so I think you shouldn't focus solely on the Great Dao. You should go experience the mortal world and all its vibrancy. Indulging yourself in worldly pleasures is a wonderful thing."
Ye Guan was speaking from experience after his trip to Blue Planet!
Living solely for the Great Dao and for the sake of longevity was really dull; Ye Guan believed that life ought to be a bit more interesting than that.
Ye Nanqing stared at Ye Guan and said, "If we do not pursue the divine, it'll be a matter of time before we disintegrate into a handful of dust. Don't you think that kind of end is even more poignant?"
"That makes sense," Ye Guan said, nodding. He felt a mixture of shock and confusion deep inside. How does she know about divinity and humanity? Wait, is she really an unparalleled expert like I thought? No way! She's only in her twenties! How can there be someone more extraordinary than me at roughly the same age as me?
Ye Guan shook his head and decided not to dwell on it any further.
Soon, the palace maid led them into a hall. Another palace maid walked up to Ye Nanqing and greeted her respectfully, "Your Highness, please follow me."
Ye Nanqing nodded and followed the palace maid into an inner hall.
A palace maid approached Ye Guan. Then, she bowed slightly and said, "Young Lord Ye, this way, please."
Ye Guan nodded.
Somewhere up above, a man was looking down at the palace below him with a smile. He was none other than the Great Daoist Brush Master.
The Boundless Master from Blue Planet hovered next to the Great Daoist Brush Master.
"What do you think?" asked the Great Daoist Brush Master
"The odds are a bit too tilted to one side," replied the Boundless Master.
The Great Daoist Brush Master's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?"
"The white-robed woman asked me to pass a message to you. She said that if you dare to make a move, she's going to kill you," the Boundless Master replied.
"Fuck!" the Great Daoist Brush Master roared, "She actually dared to threaten me, I'd rather die than yield!"
The Boundless Master replied, "She's serious."
"Ahem!" The Great Daoist Brush Master cleared his throat and said, "Indeed, I shouldn't get involved in the fights of our juniors."
The Boundless Master immediately cast a contemptuous gaze upon the Great Daoist Brush Master.
