Chapter 295: Call Me Husband and Let Me Hear It

Yu Xian heard what Xie Xiaofeng said afterward and couldn’t help but show a look of disdain.

“What’s wrong?” Murong Qiudi hadn’t heard the latter part, but she saw the change in expression on Yu Xian’s face.

“Xie Xiaofeng said that you will have my protection from now on, which is quite good,” Yu Xian didn’t hide anything.

Upon hearing this, Murong Qiudi also showed disdain: “He has to say it?”

Immediately, Murong Qiudi said to Yu Xian, “Husband, thank you.”

“How will you thank me?” Yu Xian raised an eyebrow at Murong Qiudi, looking rather improper.

He didn’t like his Women thanking him repeatedly; as long as they were happy, that was enough.

Murong Qiudi had been with Yu Xian for quite some time and knew his temperament. She playfully slapped Yu Xian, chiding him, “Improper!”

“Haha, if I were proper, I wouldn’t be able to find a wife!” Yu Xian laughed heartily.

Hearing the word “wife,” Murong Qiudi couldn’t help but recall how Yu Xian kept calling her his wife when he was beating Xie Xiaofeng just now, causing her cheeks to flush.

Then she spat, “You have so many Women, it’s more than enough for you to mess around with!”

Yu Xian just laughed in response to Murong Qiudi.

“Shall we go back now, or is there anywhere else you want to go?” Yu Xian asked Murong Qiudi. The purpose of this trip was mainly to accompany her, so if they were out, they should go wherever else she wanted to go.

Murong Qiudi shook her head upon hearing this, “I want to return to the Small World. There is nothing left here that makes me linger.”

This trip had yielded results that left her with no regrets. Moreover, during this journey, she deeply felt Yu Xian’s thoughtfulness toward her. She was already very content, so she desired nothing more from this world.

“Okay,” Yu Xian said, then directly pulled Murong Qiudi back to the Small World.

At this moment, it seemed as if everything tying Murong Qiudi to the outside world had been severed.

After sending Murong Qiudi back to the Small World, Yu Xian emerged alone and returned to Manduo Manor. He intended to start the Fusion of Cultivation Techniques once he was back at Manduo Manor.

Opportunities were plentiful anyway; he needed to go back and properly list out all the Cultivation Techniques, then combine them one by one, proceeding gradually. Yu Xian felt that his arrangement was meticulous and practically perfect.

However, before he even reached Manduo Manor, he heard The Women calling him from the Small World.

Yu Xian immediately returned to the Small World, only to find out that Li Mochou had gone into labor!

Fortunately, The Women were all prepared, and most had experience with childbirth, so they took very good care of Li Mochou, who had no prior experience.

Although there was no midwife, with Yu Xian and The Women accompanying her, Li Mochou successfully gave birth to a child—a little princess, whom Yu Xian adored immensely.

The name Li Mochou chose was Yu Anling, hoping she would be safe and sound.

Yu Xian had said there was no need to follow the naming convention, but Li Mochou insisted that she liked the character ‘Ling’.

Fine, Anling, Anling—well, it was acceptable.

The three little ones, knowing they had a little sister, immediately started clamoring to take her out to play, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Two sons and two daughters—tsk tsk, Yu Xian felt truly blessed.

But why were so many resentful gazes fixed upon him?

Wang Yuyan, Jiang Yuyan, Mu Wanqing, Murong Qiudi, and even… Zhong Ling.

What was going on with these Women…

“What are those looks?” Yu Xian felt a chill down his spine.

“Husband, I want a child too,” Mu Wanqing was the boldest in speaking up.

“Mhm, Husband, me too,” Wang Yuyan followed closely behind. She hadn’t expected Mu Wanqing to speak first.

“Young Master, I…” Jiang Yuyan wasn’t sure if she was qualified enough, but she also wanted to bear a child for Yu Xian.

Murong Qiudi didn’t speak, but her intention was clear. Furthermore, her advantage was more obvious. Ever since returning from her trip with Yu Xian, she had truly bid farewell to the past and embraced a new beginning. Thus, she also wished to forge a deeper bond with Yu Xian.

“Brother-in-law, I… I…” Zhong Ling was used to calling him Brother-in-law and hadn’t changed it yet. Yu Xian had said he would marry her, but as of yet, he hadn’t done anything to her.

She didn’t understand anything before, but having been in the Small World for so long, and with her mother occasionally teaching her, she understood everything she needed to!

“What about you? Stop joining the fun, you’re just a child,” Yu Xian lightly tapped Zhong Ling’s head.

“I’m not a child anymore!” Zhong Ling protested.

“If I say you’re a child, you’re a child.” In Yu Xian’s eyes, Zhong Ling was truly too young! He couldn’t bear to corrupt her.

“I’m almost seventeen!” Zhong Ling continued to protest.

“Mhm, you’re a big child now.” Yu Xian still ignored Zhong Ling’s protests.

“Wuwu, Brother-in-law, you’re mean! I won’t talk to you anymore!” Zhong Ling was angered to tears by Yu Xian. She stomped her foot and ran out.

Yu Xian’s mouth twitched. He really couldn’t see the current Zhong Ling as an adult!

“Ling’er!” Gan Baobao saw her daughter crying in anger, glared at Yu Xian, and said, “Aren’t you going to chase her? When I was her age, I already had her!”

Gan Baobao meant that Zhong Ling was indeed not young anymore!

“Go,” Ning Zhongze also said.

When Zhong Ling entered the Small World, she had already been reserved by Yu Xian. It was just that Yu Xian always felt Zhong Ling was too young, so he hadn’t touched her. But now, Zhong Ling was no longer young. Moreover, seeing Yu Xian being affectionate with The Women in the Small World, the young girl surely had ideas of her own by now.

If Yu Xian didn’t face Zhong Ling’s feelings squarely now, the poor girl would be heartbroken.

Yu Xian looked around and saw that everyone had the same sentiment—they were all telling him to chase after her.

Fine, he would chase her!

Yu Xian swept his Divine Thought around, instantly knowing where Zhong Ling had gone, and then flashed to appear beside her.

Zhong Ling had run to the lakeside and sat down, hugging her knees and crying.

Yu Xian felt pity seeing her and sat down next to Zhong Ling.

But before Yu Xian could say anything, Zhong Ling lunged into his arms from the side, crying, “Stinky Brother-in-law, mean Brother-in-law, don’t you like Ling’er? Do you hate Ling’er?”

Yu Xian heard this and felt helpless. He hadn’t treated Zhong Ling as an adult partly because she always hung out with the three little boys. Although A Zhu and A Bi also played with the children, they were clearly supervising, whereas Zhong Ling was actively participating!

Was that his fault?

However, since the matter had been brought to light, he needed to take it seriously.

Yu Xian held Zhong Ling, patted her back, and said, “How could I not like you? Ever since I first saw Ling’er, Brother-in-law has liked you. Haven’t you felt it?”

“But… but…” Zhong Ling didn’t know how to express herself. But what she wanted wasn’t that kind of liking; she wanted the kind of liking Yu Xian had for the other sisters!

Seeing Zhong Ling so anxious, Yu Xian decided not to tease her anymore. Instead, he looked seriously into her eyes and asked, “Ling’er, are you truly willing to marry me?”

Zhong Ling was slightly stunned, then her face lit up with joy, and she said excitedly, “I’m truly willing!”

“Then call me Husband and let me hear it,” Yu Xian said with a smile.

“Husband!”
