Chapter 911: Yuers Boldness

Chapter 911: Yu'er's Boldness

The next morning, in Xiao Nanfeng's bedroom in Yongding, Yu'er sat daintily by the window, dressed in vibrant red. Xiao Nanfeng was seated next to her, carefully painting her eyebrows with a fine brush.

"You scoundrel! You didn't even tell my parents before you did this to me," Yu'er pouted, feigning indignation.

After last night's events, the once sweet and innocent Yu'er now carried a hint of mature allure. Her expression was simultaneously pure and seductive, stirring up a fiery passion within Xiao Nanfeng.

He was unable to hold back and picked her up once again.

"Ah, don't mess around!" Yu'er exclaimed.

"I'm not messing around. I just want to hold you tightly," Xiao Nanfeng whispered gently.

Yu'er hadn't yet recovered from their exertion last night, so Xiao Nanfeng refrained from being reckless. He simply held her and planted a gentle kiss on her lips. He couldn't help it—he loved her too much.

Yu'er's cheeks flushed, but she didn't resist. She leaned into Xiao Nanfeng.

Their lips parted after a long moment. Their gazes locked with deep affection and tenderness.

"You insisted on doing such shameful things yesterday!" Yu'er exclaimed shyly.

"That was a dual cultivation technique I learned from an evil monk—but didn't it help you advance your cultivation quickly, too?" Xiao Nanfeng grinned.

"Don't bring it up!" Yu'er covered her face in embarrassment.

"It's fine. You'll get used to it with time," Xiao Nanfeng teased.

"Hmph!" Yu'er rolled her beautiful eyes at him in feigned annoyance. "Did you break through, too?"

"I did. I'm a seventh-stage Golden Immortal now," Xiao Nanfeng replied.

"You're so slow! I'm already a second-stage Boundless Immortal."

"That quickly?" Even Xiao Nanfeng was taken aback.

"Of course! How else could I secure my position as your senior sister?" Yu'er replied smugly.

Xiao Nanfeng knew that much of her progress had to be due to the Yuqing yin pillar she had absorbed.

"You are my senior sister," Xiao Nanfeng reassured her. "But be careful, alright? Advancing too rapidly isn't necessarily a good thing."

"Don't worry! The Yuqing Grandmaster has bequeathed me his full inheritance. To help me comprehend it all quickly, not only did he help me refine a Yuqing yin pillar, he also granted me a massive amount of heart force."

"Oh?" Xiao Nanfeng was taken aback.

"The heart force accelerates my understanding of the grandmaster's techniques and the natural laws they're aligned with. My rapid advancement won't cause any issues," Yu'er promised.

"Good!" Xiao Nanfeng nodded.

"Nanfeng, do you think... I might get pregnant?" Yu'er asked nervously, wrapping her arms around Xiao Nanfeng's neck.

"If you do, we'll welcome the baby. If we get a baby boy, he'll be the crown prince of Dazheng; if we get a baby girl, she'll be the crown princess. When the time comes, we can have Mother-in-Law help us take care of the child," Xiao Nanfeng said with a smile.

Yu'er flushed red and lightly hit Xiao Nanfeng's chest. "Are you crazy? You want my mom to help us? I don't even know how to explain it to her!"

"We'll have to tell her eventually. Actually, your mother should be arriving in just a few days," Xiao Nanfeng said.

"What? My mother's coming?" Yu'er exclaimed, jumping to her feet in surprise.

Xiao Nanfeng pulled her back into his arms. "That's right. I've already sent someone to bring them here. All three of your mothers are on their way."

"What are you planning? All my mothers?" Yu'er exclaimed.

They couldn't help but turn to Xiao Nanfeng.

Xiao Nanfeng bowed deeply. "Greetings, Senior Aunt. Greetings, Seniors."

The three women scrutinized Xiao Nanfeng carefully, who smiled wryly. He could tell that they knew what had happened between him and Yu'er.

"Rest assured, Senior Aunt. Yu'er shall be the empress of Dazheng. I've already written it into Dazheng's code of laws, and a tether has been established between her and Dazheng's sea of fortune. I am waiting to announce this to the world," Xiao Nanfeng said.

"Nanfeng!" Yu'er exclaimed. She stomped her foot in embarrassment.

"You little rascal, did you really think you could hide this from me?" Han Bingdie flicked her daughter's forehead.

"Mother!" Yu'er shouted.

"You know I wouldn't forbid you from being with Nanfeng. Why hide it from me?" Han Bingdie asked, exasperated.

"Mother, you aren't mad?" Yu'er exclaimed in surprise.

"As if it'd make a difference!"

The two women beside Han Bingdie began to chuckle.

"Yu'er, this is a good thing. Why hide it from us?"

"Right, Yu'er, you should be happy about this."

Yu'er's two other mothers teased her as well.

"You, I—" Yu'er's face turned as red as her dress.

Beside them, Xiao Nanfeng jumped in. "Senior Aunt, Seniors, I was the one who asked Yu'er not to reveal the news for the moment. Don't blame her."

The three women smiled. Han Bingdie said, "That's enough. You don't have to hide the truth on Yu'er's behalf."

"To be frank, while Yu'er and I have consummated our marriage, I've refrained from publicizing it because I'm worried that some of my enemies will target Yu'er in order to get at me," Xiao Nanfeng continued.

The three women nodded in understanding.

Han Bingdie fell silent for a moment. "You're right. She might well become a target, especially now, when the Yuqing holy land is fracturing from within. Shi Tianbei is undoubtedly going to make an example of her."

Xiao Nanfeng nodded. "Please don't worry, Senior Aunt. I intend to host a grand wedding with Yu'er once everything is settled. I will, of course, make Mountain Lord Xia aware of our arrangement as well."

The three women nodded.

"Mother, why isn't Father here yet?" Yu'er asked curiously.

"Your father's supporting Yang Chuan at the moment. Yang Chuan's trying to save his mother," Han Bingdie explained.

"His mother?" Yu'er exclaimed.

"Four centuries ago, Yang Chuan's mother was a serious contender for the position of Yuqing hierarch, but some things happened that caused her to be sealed. No one was able to do anything about it until Nanfeng revealed Shi Tianbei's identity. Yang Chuan has identified that the circumstances that caused his mother to be sealed were the result of Shi Tianbei's conspiracy. He's making a big fuss to clear her name."

"To think Yang Chuan's mother would be such a notable figure..." Yu'er murmured.

"Not only that, Yang Chuan even suspects that Shi Tianbei was responsible for the previous hierarch's death. The Mountain Lords of Yuqing are all in disarray now."

"I see." Yu'er frowned. "Have they come to any conclusions yet?"

"You'll have to ask Nanfeng. I'm not aware of how the situation has developed," Han Bingdie replied.

Xiao Nanfeng said, "My subordinates state that Mountain Lord Xia and Yang Chuan have left the Yuqing holy land with almost half the Yuqing disciples. Once they finish helping the disciples settle down, they'll come over."
