Chapter 949: Chapter 47: Return to the Holy See_3
Nasha huffed and said, "Then you tell me, what exactly is wrong with Yue Yue? If you don’t make it clear, you’re sleeping on the couch tonight." Outside, Xuan Ye was always the highly esteemed Red Bishop, and Nasha never embarrassed him, treating him with respect and adoration just like any common White Robe Priest. But as soon as they got back home, everything would change. Xuan Ye adored his stunning wife tremendously, and had never spoken a harsh word to her since they married. Over time, this led to a situation where Nasha bullied Xuan Ye. Xuan Ye didn’t mind this in the least; to him, being bullied by his wife was actually pretty fun. Of course, Nasha was also careful to never humiliate her husband too much. After all, she deeply loved this man with his high cultivation, who was both a good husband and a good father.
Stepping forward, Xuan Ye put his arms around his wife’s shoulders and sighed, "Sasha, don’t rush me, let me explain slowly."
Nasha swatted Xuan Ye’s hand away, scolding, "Stop fidgeting and speak up, or else don’t even think about touching me."
Xuan Ye surrendered, "Alright, alright, it’s like this, ..." He proceeded to tell her everything he knew about what had happened between Xuan Yue and Ah Dai, omitting the part about Xuan Yue wanting to venture into the Death Mountain Range. It took a full hour to explain everything.
Frowning, Nasha said, "Husband, from what you’ve told me, it seems like Yue Yue is serious. I think you’re biased against that boy, Ah Dai. While the Sword of Hades is indeed the most evil object in the world, Ah Dai is extremely kind-hearted, and it might not be a bad thing for him to wield it. Besides, you’ve seen it too; Yue Yue seems to be in a lot of pain. Should you really be separating them?"
With a cold glint in his eyes, Xuan Ye replied, "No, Nasha, I can never allow my daughter to associate with someone of unknown origins who also possesses the Sword of Evil. The church has so many outstanding young men, any of whom are a hundred times better than Ah Dai. He is simply not worthy of our daughter. Don’t worry, in a little while, Yue Yue will surely forget about him. Don’t you know our daughter’s character? As long as we keep a close eye on Yue Yue, there shouldn’t be a problem."
After thinking it over, Nasha said, "But I feel that what you’re doing doesn’t seem right. I don’t want Yue Yue to become so unhappy. Even though she used to be naughty, I still loved her innocent and lively self. As long as our daughter is happy, we shouldn’t control her too much." Nasha herself was born within the church, and her father was one of the current four Red Bishops. He had been very strict with her when she was young, and it was only after many years of rigorous training that Nasha had attained the ability of a White Robe Priest. Later, after marrying Xuan Ye, she was able to escape her father’s control, and she did not want her own daughter to go through what she did, with no real childhood to speak of. This was one of the root reasons why Xuan Yue was so mischievous.
Embracing his wife, Xuan Ye looked at her captivating face, feeling a surge of strong affection, and murmured, "Let’s talk about it after seeing Father. Wife, I’ve missed you so much! We haven’t... in a long time."
Nasha’s cheeks turned pink as she pushed Xuan Ye away, saying, "Stop it, you old lecher. You think of bad things as soon as you come back."
Xuan Ye chuckled, "What’s wrong with a husband and wife being together? I really miss you! Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?" Saying this, he wrapped his arms around the somewhat resisting Nasha and kissed her cherry lips. Nasha put up a token struggle before melting into Xuan Ye’s tenderness.
It was not until the next day at noon that Xuan Yue woke up from her slumber, feeling refreshed in both body and spirit after a good sleep. Sitting idly on her bed, she reminisced about everything with Ah Dai. As she recalled the flustered and clueless look on his face when he first saw her in the Tian Gang Mountain Range, she couldn’t help blushing and smiling knowingly to herself. How wonderful it would be to search for the Elf Clan with Ah Dai!
Ah Dai, are you doing well now?
The door opened, and Nasha walked in. Seeing the smile on her daughter’s face, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Yue Yue, what’s got you so happy? Are you thinking about Ah Dai?"
Jolted from her daydream, Xuan Yue’s face reddened and she looked down, denying lightly, "Mom, I—I wasn’t thinking about him at all."
Sitting by her daughter’s bed, Nasha pulled Xuan Yue into her embrace and said softly, "Silly girl, you’re my daughter—can’t I tell when something’s on your mind? Tell mom, what’s so great about Ah Dai that he’s got you so captivated?"
In her mother’s warm embrace, Xuan Yue relaxed and murmured, "Mom, Ah Dai has been really good to me. Being with him, I’m so happy, so very happy. Although he’s a bit slow-witted, his nature is kind, and he was even willing to sacrifice his own life to save me. I know how much he cares for me, Mom. Back when you and Dad started being together, did you have that feeling of missing him when not seeing him, and being very happy when together?"
Nasha was taken aback, realizing that her daughter’s feelings for Ah Dai were far deeper than what her husband had suggested. She said subtly, "Yue Yue, do you think Ah Dai is worth your sincere feelings? Can he truly make you happy in the future?"
Xuan Yue looked at her mother unwaveringly and nodded firmly, "He definitely can. Even though Ah Dai doesn’t have any particularly striking qualities, for some reason, I just like being with him. At first, I looked down on him and wanted to tease him for fun, but as I spent more time with him, I discovered he has many special qualities. I can’t quite articulate the depth of my feelings for him, but without him, it feels like I’ve lost the most important thing. Mom, it really hurts!" As she spoke, Xuan Yue’s eyes couldn’t help but well up with tears.
