Moon-Watching Sect.
This ti, ng Yu returned without Bai Qianqian by his side.
To this, Bu Shixian, Hua Miaochai, Ji Qiaoer, and the others were not at all surprised.
When Bai Qianqian had gone to rob with ng Yu, she had told her sisters that the place was very nice, there were people willing to guide her in cultivation, and so on, and that she might stay there for ten or eight years without returning. At that ti, she asked everyone not to seduce ng Yu to avoid an awkward situation when she ca back... ah no, to listen to ng Yu's words, please.
This was a joke, how could good sisters seduce ng Yu? Although he looked tender and cute, or like Tang Seng at that everyone wanted to take a bite.
However, everyone could see that ng Yu's mood wasn't very good.
This... made everyone a bit curious, could it be that the young couple had quarreled, and ng Yu didn't want to have children so soon?
No one asked any questions, as ng Yu already had an extrely high prestige in the Moon-Watching Sect. The three Golden Core cultivators seriously told everyone that anyone who disrespected ng Yu, or anyone who tried to pull rank based on age, would be heading down a dead-end road.
Moreover, ng Yu's character had also earned everyone's respect. Especially the constant supply of materials he provided was the foundation for the Moon-Watching Sect's growth and expansion. You couldn't just assu that because the young master was rich, he should give you money; if you thought like that, then just get lost!
ng Yu didn't explain anything to everyone, he just took out a large amount of items from his Storage Bag and had them stored in the Moon-Watching Sect's warehouse.
The supplies were plentiful this ti: fifty thousand bushels of Spirit Rice, precious dicines, and so Array Plates, which all made everyone so happy that they were grinning ear to ear.
While everyone was cheerfully organizing the items, they could see that ng Yu sat there looking desolate.
After sorting out these items, ng Yu called Bu Shixian, Hua Miaochai, and several other high-level mbers of the Moon-Watching Sect and told them that Bai Qianqian was pregnant, so she was staying there to nourish the fetus. He assured them not to worry; all was well.
Everyone was overjoyed and sent their fierce congratulations, thumping their chests to reassure that Bai Qianqian could comfortably nourish her fetus there, and the Moon-Watching Sect would take care of everything with everyone's help.
In the mory Stone, Bai Qianqian happily told everyone that she was pregnant and would be nourishing the fetus there. She asked everyone to rest assured that she would definitely co to see them in at most ten years.
Well, Divine Beasts have a long pregnancy period, which everyone could understand.
Then, just like before, ng Yu gave every person a precious gift; everything was just as before. Even though he brought back more goods this ti, everyone could still sense that his mood wasn't good, which was strange. Why would ng Yu be in a bad mood if he was having a child?
This question troubled Bu Shixian, so much so that after she descended the mountain, she was still pondering it.
At the foot of the Moon-Watching Sect's mountain, it was still bustling with activity, having developed into a market. The free distribution of Spirit Rice was ongoing, although now it had to be eaten on the spot and was limited in quantity. However, this asure didn't lead to any protest because the market below Moon-Watching Sect offered many good job opportunities, whether it was reclaiming land, providing protection, or other work, people who ca could find suitable employnt.
There were several such markets, and as Bu Shixian walked, she observed her surroundings. ng Yu was a person of considerable propriety, he had established very fair rules: you get what you give, you're one of us, you're safe here as long as you obey the rules.
And this was what countless cultivators from the Western Wastes dreamt of.
A few bird people, high-spirited while shopping for goods, they were the kin of a deceased brother of Bu Shixian. They were thankful to ng Yu for allowing Bu Shixian to have the money to settle them, grateful to ng Yu for enabling them to live well here.
There were many such cases, and although Bu Shixian always told ng Yu that he was too extravagant, that he was splurging too much and that many people didn't need help, now, seeing these scenes, she was very happy.
Having money in one's hands and saving lives wasn't the sa thing at all. However, in the give and take, she owed ng Yu too many favors. Sigh, she didn't know how to repay him; the only thing she could do now was to follow whatever ng Yu said.
Bu Shixian, in disguise, entered a tea house.
"Old Third, I'm really sorry, but my wife is pregnant, so I can't continue with the bloody business anymore, I have to drop out, I apologize."
A person was explaining his difficulties to his companions with a sense of regret, with his heavily pregnant wife by his side. This was a rcenary group that had not been ford long ago, but now it was splitting up because both the leader and second-in-command had gotten married and were having children.
Bu Shixian did not pay too much attention to all this. As a Golden Core Master, she had many matters to attend to... However, her eyes flashed as if she suddenly rembered sothing.
"Having a child, no longer wanting to do it, planning to leave..."
These phrases echoed in her ears, and in an instant, her face turned pale.
Bai Qianqian was pregnant; that was good news. ng Yu brought back a large supply; that was also good news. But why did ng Yu seem so unhappy, as if he was about to do so unconscionable deed?
Even Bai Qianqian didn't co back to tell everyone about her pregnancy herself.
"Child, child, child!"
Bu Shixian muttered these words to herself, her face growing paler and paler.
She had seen many generous n and won change completely after having children, so even betraying friends!
Bai Qianqian would certainly not betray her friends, and ng Yu wasn't that kind of person either. But would ng Yu continue to spend large amounts of money and effort to support the Moon-Watching Sect as before?
Now, the Moon-Watching Sect relied entirely on ng Yu's support, but this support was predicated on ng Yu loving Bai Qianqian, Bai Qianqian needing the Moon-Watching Sect, unable to part from everyone.
Without ng Yu, the happiness of the Moon-Watching Sect would only co crashing down.
...
Peach Blossom Star had beco much quieter than before, after all, Bai Qianqian had purchased a Third-Order Minor World and was currently developing it. There were many opportunities there.
In the suburban district of Weibei, at the entrance of a villa, the master lay in a chair, listening to a sad love song.
It was a song that spoke of parting and unattainable yearning, lingering and poignant, narrating the loss of a first love that could never return.
The one listening to the song was ng Yu, who hadn't contacted Bai Qianqian after arriving at Peach Blossom Star, including Ge Caihua. His principle was to wait a month, and once the return button lit up, then he would take action.
But, this ti was different from before.
Previously, during that month, ng Yu would diligently cultivate and study, unlike this ti, where he lay there like a lazy cat.
Bai Qianqian had broken their agreent, delivering a speech on TV, and ng Yu understood clearly what she ant: Bai Qianqian had given up on pure love.
"I love you, that's why I let go."
He had once watched a movie that told the story of a wife dreaming of studying abroad, and finally, the husband decided to send her. The wife said she would definitely be back after four or five years, that their love was inseparable...
As ng Yu watched, he mocked the husband as a cuckold, but this ti, Bai Qianqian had prepared herself for ng Yu's betrayal, releasing her grip with tears in her eyes.
Ti is the most terrifying entity, capable of changing everything.
A hundred days on this side, just one day on the other—if Bai Qianqian and ng Yu weren't together, then in the blink of an eye, everything would change beyond recognition!
After ng Yu had spent a hundred days or even a hundred years at Moon-Watching Sect, at the Immortal Sect, only one day or one year would have passed for Bai Qianqian.
So, within that one day or hundred days or hundred years, what could ng Yu do?
Would a man change, might he find a new woman, et another girl, have a new love? She would have only passed a few days, and when ng Yu returned, he could casually say, "I was only out for an afternoon; why worry?"
This decision of Bai Qianqian's was good for everyone, but for her, it was unfair.
Heh, heh.
Languidly lying in the chair, ng Yu humd the love song of that first romance.
He was inherently heartless; neither Teacher Chen nor Little Swallow had influenced the decisions in his life, including later on, when he t Liu Qingshuang in the Great Wu Minor World.
She was a gentle and traditional woman, talented and beautiful, kind-hearted, and deeply in love with ng Yu. Back then, ng Yu had planned to engage in a passionate romance with her—if only he could fall in love with her.
To fall in love with her, to sacrifice her; tenfold strength, hundredfold strength.
However, Liu Qingshuang had not moved his heart, and then he t Bai Qianqian, the woman who went straight to his heart.
Although at first, he was prepared to sacrifice her, waiting for the graveyard of love.
What could be better than Concrete becoming tenfold stronger, or becoming a demon being hundredfold stronger?
Such so-called love was like a passing cloud to .
Yet, Bai Qianqian's innocence, purity, and everything about her slowly made him addicted; he even felt that this was fine, I could go on like this with her until... until that unlucky day when I was blocked and had to flee in humiliation.
Bai Qianqian watched her lover make his decision with sorrow.
She knew that with this decision, she would lose ng Yu forever—not because ng Yu stopped loving her, but because she wasn't with him during the best ti of her life!
First love lasts but a few years, a decade at most, then like ashes of spring, it never returns.
"You worthless creature, won't you make money while you're young instead of indulging in pleasures, huh?"
From the distance, an elder was scolding a young person.
"Darling, let's go out and enjoy ourselves for a week, how about that? Don't tell you'll have to work overti?"
A girl, clinging to her boyfriend's hand, sweetly made her request.
Ah, you young children, you are blessed. But what about ng Yu?
Qian Qian, you acted earlier and more decisively than I did!
You cunning pure-hearted rabbit, you've won against this Great Demon King!
It was a pain that pierced the heart, yet it was a cut that brought an unmistakable clarity.
Yearning heart must not vie with spring flowers, for each inch of longing turns to ash.
