Chapter 94: Preparing to Have a Child, the Saintess of Yaoguang Returns (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Pei Mansion, inside the inner chamber bedroom.

Pei Shaoqing had his long hair draped loosely, his chest bared to reveal solid pectoral muscles, and he leaned back against a soft couch in a lazy and dissolute manner, appearing relaxed and comfortable.

Dressed in a white robe with her jade-like feet bare, the Saintess of Yaoguang lay to one side massaging his legs, her figure's curves exceptionally graceful, especially the well-rounded and distinct contour of her buttocks.

Aside from the bells on her feet ringing, there was also an exquisitely crafted bell on her fair neck that chimed crisp and melodious sounds with her movements; this was a gift Pei Shaoqing had specifically brought back for her from Jingguan City.

On the inner side of the bell, the character "Pei" was engraved.

Also appearing relaxed and dressed in light clothing, Xie Qingwu, who was sitting opposite Pei Shaoqing, lifted one of her slender, jade-like feet wrapped in black silk to hook the chin of the Saintess of Yaoguang.

With a smile at the corners of her mouth, she looked her over with great interest and said, "Clearly it's just an extra bell, yet it gives her a sense of insatiable wantonness. Husband, you really do have a way with how to handle women."

"Wife, you don't mind, do you?" Pei Shaoqing asked as if in passing, though his eyes were observing the other's expression.

"As long as you don't play with men, it's fine." Xie Qingwu gently rubbed the Saintess of Yaoguang's cheek with the top of her foot and said with regret, "It would be even better if you added a leash to the bell. To have the dignified Saintess of the Xuanhuang Sect led around by my husband like a dog—that scene would surely be very interesting."

This couple was indeed a match made in heaven.

The dignified Saintess of the Xuan Sect, a genius who stepped into the Roaming Dragon Realm at twenty, had just like that been reduced to a plaything for the couple.

Dressed in her finery and stunningly beautiful, the Saintess of Yaoguang could not help but bite her pink lips, a rosy flush appearing on her cheeks.

Hearing Xie Qingwu's words, she felt a faint sense of shame in her heart, but imagining the scene the other had described, she also felt a strange sense of excitement and stimulation.

Pei Shaoqing also felt a tremor in his heart; he quickly took a deep breath to calm his emotions, caught the Saintess of Yaoguang's chin to make her face him directly, and said, "Have you remembered everything I just told you? Repeat it once."

Only then did Xie Qingwu retract her foot. Making a woman who was clearly stronger than herself willingly submit to her—this feeling left her fascinated.

"Yes, Master." The Saintess of Yaoguang said respectfully, "After I return to the Saint Palace, I will say that my disappearance was because I encountered a mysterious person attacking me as soon as I arrived in Tongzhou, and after being injured, I have been healing in the mountains..."

"Mm." Pei Shaoqing nodded with satisfaction, then frowned after his gaze fell upon the Storage Ring on his hand, "You lost this; will you be alright?"

"The servant will say it was lost during the exchange with that mysterious person. Master will certainly bestow another Storage Magic Treasure upon me," the Saintess of Yaoguang replied.

Although Storage Magic Treasures were precious, compared to her noble status, they were not exactly rare items.

The Xuanhuang Sect, after all, possessed over a thousand years of accumulation.

Pei Shaoqing raised an eyebrow, "Your Xuan Sect really does have a massive family fortune. After you go back, bring me a copy of every cultivation technique and treasure you can manage to bring out."

The Xuanhuang Sect had existed even longer than the Great Zhou.

They surely had more good things than the Great Zhou imperial family.

"Master, many good things are entirely dependent on Master's rewards; the servant cannot bring them out," the Saintess of Yaoguang shook her head, looking timid.

Pei Shaoqing was a bit disappointed upon hearing this and could only settle for the next best thing, "Just do your best. Bring me the best things you can get your hands on to offer to me."

Take it slow; in any case, as long as he controlled the Saintess of Yaoguang, sooner or later there would be an opportunity to empty the Xuan Sect's treasury.

"As you command." The Saintess of Yaoguang lowered her head and replied.

Pei Shaoqing patted her face, "Go."

"Yes." The Saintess of Yaoguang slowly got off the couch, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully, "Yao Nu takes her leave."

Then, with her buttocks stuck out, she used her hands and feet to crawl backward until she reached the door, only then standing up to open it and walk out, closing it again with light, careful movements.

"Husband, do you really not want to taste the Saintess's flavor first?" Xie Qingwu asked with a beaming smile.

She had learned from the Saintess of Yaoguang that although Pei Shaoqing humiliated and toyed with her in every way, he had never actually gone all the way.

Pei Shaoqing caught one of her jade-like feet that had reached out beside him and toyed with it, saying casually, "She hasn't performed enough meritorious service yet; how could I reward her?"

Xie Qingwu was stunned for a moment, then after a brief thought, she suddenly understood and caught up with Pei Shaoqing's line of thinking.

She felt that what he said made sense.

Right now, the Saintess of Yaoguang was of a lower status in front of Pei Shaoqing, so having relations with Pei Shaoqing was her honor; she could not be allowed to obtain such a reward easily.

"I wouldn't be surprised if that good-for-nothing Pei Shaoqing, who wallows in piles of women, knew how to tame them, but how does a mountain bandit like you know?" Xie Qingwu retracted her foot, got up, and crawled in front of Pei Shaoqing, asking curiously.

The two were face-to-face, within inches of each other; Pei Shaoqing could even feel her breath as she spoke. He chuckled and said, "No one is born a mountain bandit."

Before he transmigrated, he was a rather unscrupulous businessman.

A businessman might not know how to do business, but he certainly wouldn't be ignorant of how to play with women; the richer they were, the more perverted their play became.

"Husband is full of secrets." Xie Qingwu, however, interpreted this as Pei Shaoqing's background certainly not being simple.

Looking at her luscious red lips, the deep cleavage, and the conscience that was about to burst out, Pei Shaoqing's breathing grew heavy, "Wife seems exceptionally enthusiastic today."

He could feel that after Xie Qingwu came out of seclusion, she was more willing to be intimate with him, having set aside some of the reserve she used to maintain, as if she truly regarded him as her husband.

"Does Husband not like it?" Xie Qingwu, who was leaning on the soft couch with both hands, tilted her body forward, almost pressing against Pei Shaoqing, and said with breath as fragrant as orchids.

She felt that through the matter of refining medicine, she had fully proven that she had more value to Pei Shaoqing; the Heart-Devouring Pill that the Saintess of Yaoguang took also required her to regularly prepare the antidote.

Coupled with the vast amount of information she possessed, it was already impossible for Pei Shaoqing to cross the river and burn the bridge by abandoning her in the future.

Moreover, after such a long time together, both had gained a deep understanding of each other, and she believed Pei Shaoqing also realized she was not the kind of promiscuous, venomous woman.

So it was time to bind themselves together completely.

To be a real, authentic husband and wife.

Pei Shaoqing was not stupid; the moment he met Xie Qingwu's eyes, he read her thoughts. He reached out to touch her face and said, "Is Wife sure she is ready?"

He had also been waiting for this day.

"Give me a child. Husband is a ruthless person; if I said I trusted you completely, it would be somewhat fake, but I can trust the father of the child, and you can also trust the mother of the child," Xie Qingwu said with a frank expression, her thinking calm and her logic clear.

Pei Shaoqing let out a breath, "I didn't want to be a father so soon, but Wife's words make sense."

The body he was in now was just over twenty.

At this age in his previous life, one might not have even graduated from university, and there were plenty who hadn't even finished elementary school.

But in this world, apart from those who wandered the pugilistic world, basically everyone was already married and had children.

So he should have a child too.

It was not only to bind himself completely to Xie Qingwu.

It was also to avoid being mistaken for being infertile; in this world, not having the ability to reproduce was a big deal for a leader, and could even fail to provide followers with a sense of security.

Right now he was still young, his position was still low, and he didn't have many followers; if he waited until he was older and his status was high, and he still had no children, or his children were still young...

That would be very disadvantageous to his situation.

Xie Qingwu smiled, reached out to hook Pei Shaoqing's neck, and leaned back, her waterfall-like hair cascading down; she used her two Black Silk jade legs to grip his waist and pulled hard, calling out coquettishly, "Husband, love me."

The past is enough to comfort one's life.

This time it was truly zero-distance communication.

Pei Shaoqing wanted to strive to hit the target on the first shot.

Generously opening his purse, letting her return fully loaded.

The little maidservant Qiuye ran over in a hurry, but upon reaching the door and hearing the sounds inside, she turned red with embarrassment and, suppressing her shyness, said, "Master, the Flag Chief Chen has arrived."

"Let him wait," Pei Shaoqing replied casually.

"Yes." Qiuye turned around to have a manservant go to the main hall to pass the message to Chen Zhongyi, while she herself went to the kitchen to have someone boil hot water and prepare clean towels.

After Pei Shaoqing and Xie Qingwu were finished, she, the maidservant, would still have to go in to help the two of them clean up.

…………………………

Today is a day off.

But Wang Xianling is still in the study handling official business.

Although he is an undercover agent for the Xuanhuang Sect, he is very diligent in the work he should undertake for this identity.

He is already considered a rare good official nowadays.

Suddenly, he felt a change in the light before his eyes.

He immediately looked up subconsciously.

He saw a woman in a fluttering white dress, graceful and curvaceous, who had appeared at the door at some unknown time; her shapely body was wrapped tightly, her feet were bare, and her whole being radiated a holy aura that made one dare not profane her.

"Clang~"

The brush in Wang Xianling's hand dropped onto the desk.

Ink splattered outward in a radial pattern.

"Saintess!" He stood up abruptly in extreme excitement, then hurried over to kneel before Saintess Yaoguang to pay his respects, "Helmsman of the Tongzhou Branch greets the Saintess!"

He kept his head lowered, his gaze only able to see those small, jade-white, spotless, and flawlessly beautiful feet close at hand, and he could not help but be dazed for a moment.

Soon, he felt ashamed of his own desires.

That is the holy-as-an-immortal, untouchable Saintess Yaoguang! How could he have such wild thoughts?

"Get up," Yaoguang said in a cold tone.

Away from Pei Shaoqing and Xie Qingwu, she had returned to her high-and-mighty, unprofanable Saintess image.

"Yes." Wang Xianling stood up and asked cautiously, "Saintess, where have you been? Everyone was worried to death, and the Saint Palace specifically sent a Saint Envoy to look for you."

Only then did he notice that there was an extra exquisite bell on the Saintess's neck, and he thought to himself that the Saintess truly likes bells; not only does she wear them on her feet, but she wears one on her neck as well.

"Tell the Saint Envoy to come see me," Saintess Yaoguang said in a calm tone, walking straight toward a chair.

Her lotus steps moved lightly, and the bells jingled.

Listening to the crisp ringing of the bells, although she remained expressionless, her mind subconsciously recalled everything in the Pei Mansion dungeon, and her heart rate accelerated.

Fear, excitement, nostalgia, and various other emotions surged into her heart in turns, and it took a good while for them to subside.

"Yes!" Wang Xianling immediately took the order and left.

The Saint Envoy soon arrived upon hearing the news, and upon seeing Saintess Yaoguang, they were almost moved to tears, "Greetings, Saintess."

"Rise," Saintess Yaoguang said sparingly.

After the Saint Envoy rose, they bowed and asked the same question as Wang Xianling, "Saintess, where have you been..."

"Regarding this, I will explain it to the two Palace Masters and the Elders upon returning to the Saint Palace," Saintess Yaoguang interrupted the Saint Envoy, her tone calm but brooking no rebuttal.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, the Saint Envoy could only suppress their curiosity and asked one more thing, "Then, does the Saintess still intend to kill Pei Shaoqing? If it is inconvenient, I can act on your behalf, and then return to the Saint Palace to report."

"No need, no one can take his life except for me," Saintess Yaoguang shook her head, looking as if she had long-term plans, and said, "I have other thoughts regarding him, and I will propose them to the two Palace Masters upon returning."

"Yes." The Saint Envoy was completely obedient to her.

Saintess Yaoguang said with a calm expression, "Tomorrow morning, you will return to the Saint Palace with me."

"As you command," the Saint Envoy replied with a salute.

Watching the high-and-mighty Saintess who looked as if no one could approach her, Wang Xianling did not dare to step forward to interrupt.

But Pei Shaoqing had interrupted her, although he used his hand.
