"Xiaoguai."
Jun Moyan was startled and hurriedly stepped forward, lifted her up horizontally, and took her back to the hall, placing her on the bed.
"Xiaoguai, did sothing happen? Why are you sitting on the ground?" He quickly checked Wen Xiao’ai’s body, fearing she might have hurt herself.
Wen Xiao’ai looked at Jun Moyan, who was worried about her, and asked tearfully, "...Why did you lock up?"
"Where did you go? Why did you leave here alone?"
Jun Moyan was taken aback, seeing Wen Xiao’ai’s eyes full of grievance and fear, hurriedly explained:
"I didn’t, Xiaoguai, I didn’t lock you up, I had official business to attend to and had to leave. I was worried about leaving you alone here, so I set up a barrier, it wasn’t to lock you in."
He clumsily wiped Wen Xiao’ai’s tears, his heart in a panic.
"But didn’t you say... it’s very safe here?"
Wen Xiao’ai didn’t know what was wrong with herself either; it was clearly a small matter, she knew Jun Moyan was worried for her safety, not imprisoning her, yet she couldn’t control her emotions.
"Xiaoguai, the Netherworld is filled with malicious ghosts, and although they can’t enter the Soul Suppressing Hall, they have ways to lure you out. I can’t always be with you, so..."
"I know you like lively places and can’t stand being alone, know you don’t like it here. I promise you, I’ll try to take you with wherever I go, okay?"
"Jun Moyan, don’t leave here alone, I’m scared..." Wen Xiao’ai cried, reaching out to hug Jun Moyan’s neck.
"Okay, I promise you, I’ll take you with in the future, but you must also promise not to do this again. The ground is cold, and you’re pregnant; what if you catch a chill?"
"The baby..." Thinking of the child in her belly, Wen Xiao’ai beca frightened.
Jun Moyan held Wen Xiao’ai, feeling particularly uneasy.
She’s carrying a child, she’s a pregnant woman, needs care, needs watching over, needs to be happy. The Cat Demon Clan is the best place for her to nurture the fetus, where she has her family, where she knows every tree and bush.
But he can only leave her in this sunless Underworld, full of vicious ghosts.
Once he’s away, she’s alone.
"Xiaoguai, I’m sorry." He’s filled with guilt and remorse.
"I don’t want to hear that from you..."
"Okay, I won’t say it anymore. Be good, don’t cry. The dicine King said you can’t be too agitated, it’s not good for the baby."
"Mm, I won’t cry." Wen Xiao’ai sniffed, holding back tears.
Jun Moyan gradually cald her emotions.
"Xiaoguai, let go of first. I’ll show you sothing, okay?"
"What?" Wen Xiao’ai released her grip on him.
"Look."
Jun Moyan stretched out his hand, and suddenly there appeared a stunning red, suprely alluring flower in full bloom.
"It’s a manjushahua." Wen Xiao’ai reached out to take it, sowhat surprised.
Jun Moyan wiped her tears and smiled, "This manjushahua blooms once every thousand years and sheds leaves for another thousand. You haven’t seen a real manjushahua yet, have you?"
"I’ve seen it in books. Last ti when I sneaked into the Netherworld, there were only leaves." Wen Xiao’ai said between sobs.
"It’s blooming now, I’ll take you to see it." Jun Moyan helped her to her feet.
"Okay."
Jun Moyan was about to take her away when he suddenly rembered sothing.
"Wait a mont."
"What is it?" Wen Xiao’ai looked at him.
Jun Moyan took her hand, suddenly channeling spiritual power into the bell bracelet on her wrist...
