Poison Genius Consort

Now Su Xiaoyu was very curious about his age.
Judging from her master, this man had to be in his forties! But besides a hint of white at the side of his forehead, she couldn’t see any signs of aging on him.
If she didn’t know who he was, she might even guess he was in his thirties.

Why is some of his hair white? He doesn’t look like a man with any worries.
Could he have experienced cultivation insanity in the past that made him deviate and hurt himself?

Su Xiaoyu gave an involuntary shudder at the thought.
Who knows how he’ll torment me in the future if I take him as my master? I’d just be asking to suffer!

Her wavering heart immediately turned to dread.
She wanted to leave this fellow in the next instant.

“Have you thought it through?” Han Chen asked icily.

Su Xiaoyu immediately shook her head.
“I don’t want it!”

“What are your terms? Tell me whatever you want,” Han Chen said.
It was rare for him to have interest in a child after all these years.
He wasn’t going to give up so soon.
Truthfully speaking, he preferred Han Yunxi’s personality to Su Xiaoyu’s, but his daughter was already grown and possessed the Phoenix energy.

He needed a small sapling that could be nurtured to cultivate inner energy from the start.
As Su Xiaoyu was around 13, she was older than the ideal, but still moldable.

Su Xiaoyu was about to flat out refuse when she thought of something: Bai Yanqing! She hadn’t even seen him yet! If she refused this fellow outright, he’d hold a grudge against her.
Then she might never see Bai Yanqing again.

To Su Xiaoyu, avenging herself on Bai Yanqing was the most important thing! Thus, she plucked up her courage and decided to trick Han Chen once!

Pretending to waver, she successfully caught Han Chen’s attention.
He said coldly, “Just say whatever’s on your mind.”

Su Xiaoyu bolstered her guts and said, “I heard that cur, Bai Yanqing, is in your hands.
We still have a private debt to settle between us.
Let me finish my grudge against him first so I can consider your offer for three more days! How’s that sound?”

“Consider?” Han Chen seized on the main point immediately.

“Yes.
I’ll think it over carefully.
After all, it’s a big deal to take a master,” Su Xiaoyu replied.

Han Chen was rather easygoing.
“Follow me,” he said simply, then turned to leave.
Su Xiaoyu silently exhaled.

This doesn’t count as lying, right? I never said I’d definitely take him as my master.
Once I deal with Bai Yanqing, I’ll have my master send someone to pass on the rejection in my place.
In any case, all this is a matter of choice.
Nothing can be forced!

Thus comforted, Su Xiaoyu’s nerves calmed as she trailed after Han Chen.

In the afternoon, Han Yunxi had Long Feiye accompany her to Clearbreeze Peak.

“Han Chen is the leader of a Mysterious Continent sect.
He wouldn’t stoop so low as to trick one of your servant girls,” Long Feiye said frostily.
He disliked Han Yunxi running about, especially up mountains.

Actually, everyone was puzzled over Han Yunxi’s lack of emotions towards her father.
They assumed he’d shown up too suddenly for her to accept it.
Only Long Feiye knew the truth of Han Yunxi’s transmigration and how normal it was that she’d feel so indifferent.
He was quite happy to see this pass and hoped she’d only have feelings for himself.

“I’m not worried about little Yu’er, that shrewd pixie! She might even end up screwing Han Chen over!” Han Yunxi grinned.

“You’re underestimating Han Chen,” Long Feiye said objectively.

“No.
It’s Han Chen who will underestimate little Yu’er.
She’s a child, so he’ll lower his guard against her,” Han Yunxi said seriously.

Long Feiye didn’t want to argue with her over such a pointless topic, so he moved to Han Yunxi’s side.
A little hesitant, he eventually moved to gently touch her protruding stomach.
After busying themselves for so long, sending off Ning Jing and Tang Li, and taking care of some urgent issues, he finally had her get a good night’s sleep.
This morning he had snuck by her side to lie down a little bit longer, resisting the urge to touch her womb in case he woke her up.

Today at last, he could have a half-day break to spend time with he and the child.
Still, he could only stay in Medical City for a maximum of two days.
After that it was back to the army to quell the still restless Western Zhou and Northern Li.
Taking them down wasn’t even an issue, but establishing a kingdom and rules in its place would need work.

A whole new empire with its own set of rules, power structure, and hierarchy would be massive work.
Defeating established kingdoms was only the first step.
The battle to keep your own kingdom alive was a war without smoke or fire, requiring wisdom and power that the battle-thirsty Mysterious Continent couldn’t hope to compare to!

Of course, none of that was as important as his wife.
He had to make sure she was safe and secure before heading for the battlefields.
As his hand rested on Han Yunxi’s stomach, Long Feiye suddenly felt extremely nervous…

1.
With this, we have a better idea of how many years have passed since Su Xiaoyu entered the Duke of Qin’s estate–4 to 5 years! And since HYX was already married for at least a year then, that means our couple has been together for 6 years or more.

2.
Lanming (蓝冥) – it’s got a pretty cool name, actually.
Lan is “blue,” but Ming can mean “dark/obscure/dim, underworld/netherworld, deep/profound, funerary, gloomy/night/deep.”
