“It’s a good
thing that they can’t cultivate. This kind of live style doesn’t really mesh
with their personalities. They can and should just live out their lives
peacefully. Now that they are with me, I will do everything within my power to
give them a quiet and peaceful life.”
After saying
that, Zhou Jinjiang took his wife’s hand into his and smiled, “No matter how
old I am, I just want you to be by myside. And also the kids. Luckily you’ve
had some mystical water as well and are now a martial apprentice. As long as
you work hard on your cultivation, you will continue to have break throughs.”
“Don’t
worry, I will get them out of serving the royals and be with us!” Seeing the
desire in his wife’s eyes, Zhou Jinjiang made up his mind and comfort her
tenderly.
“It’s just
that the Cheng’s aren’t very stable as of yet, we all need to work hard to
achieve that!” Mrs. Zhou smiled but she didn’t mind. Afterall, Zhou Jinjiang
had already told her what to expect back in Emperor City.
Suddenly, Mrs.
Zhou thought of something and asked, “Oh yeah, how was Xiao Xiao? Everybody was
scared for her tonight. We all thought she wouldn’t….”
“Don’t
worry. Xiao Xiao wasn’t as simple as she seemed. We are definitely lucky to be
able to stay with the Cheng’s!”
Zhou
Jinjiang’s eyes sparkled and he continued, “In a few days, I am going to take a
trip to Qing’an Province. I want see if there’s anywhere that’s suitable to
build a moat. If I can’t find a suitable place, we will just have to build it
right here!”
“That’s all
decided by you men. We are women, we don’t know anything like that!”
Before they
headed to bed, Cheng Biyuan walked into the master bedroom of the main
structure and also found his wife waiting for him. He couldn’t help but to ask,
“How come you are still up?”
“Ye,
how’s Xiao Xiao? Is she okay? Is she back?” Mrs. Cheng kept on asking with a
worried look.
“Don’t
worry. Xiao Xiao is fine. She had retired into her own room!”
The slightly
tired looking Cheng Biyuan sat down, poured himself a glass of mystical water
and downed it. The mystical water he had inside his house wasn’t from the
cloned well outside, but brought to him by Xiao Xiao directly from the
dimension.
After three
glasses of mystical water, Cheng Biyuan felt incredible and all the tiredness
was gone. Then he finally looked over at his wife, pondered for a bit and said,
“Yuqin, you…”
“What’s the
matter, ye? Something you want to tell me?” Mrs. Cheng could tell he had
something on his mind.
Cheng Biyuan
reached over and wiped away the remnant of tears from the corners of her eyes
and said, “It’s a good thing that you love the kids, I know. But your biggest
weakness is being too soft. Especially in the last few years, you have changed
so much. I am not saying that is bad, but you are lacking some aggressiveness
and assertiveness, you have gone soft.
“I think
it’s all my fault. I didn’t get good enough care of you. Back at Emperor City,
you were bullied by others, but you had no choice but to take all the abuse
quietly. Those years had taken it all from you. All your feistiness were all gone.
Ever since we got here, our lives were much tougher than before, but relatively
peaceful. Even so, you’d never confront anyone, and that had molded you into
this very compliant personality.”
“Ye,
am I too helpless? Do I make you worry too much about me?”
Ever since
she has been married and had kids, Mrs. Cheng had stopped cultivating
altogether. Even now she was only a mid level martial apprentice, basically
just any normal woman. Granted, if it ever came down to a life and death
moment, her potential just might release.
