"Brother, this is Qianying, my wife, your sister-in-law."
Nangong Mo introduced Gu Qianying to Bai Xianhua, putting his arm around Gu Qianying as he spoke.
The people nearby smiled happily.
At this moment, young Yi Hao ran over and stood in front of Bai Xianhua, "Uncle, hello, I am their son, my name is Xiao Yi Hao."
His childish voice echoed before everyone.
Bai Xianhua looked at Gu Qianying and Xiao Yi Hao, and finally his gaze fell on Gu Qianying's face, "She is... the Purple-Ranked Woman?"
Nangong Mo nodded, remaining silent, which was an implicit confirmation.
"Hahaha... haha... Good, very good. As your brother, I knew you two would end up together. Back then, for her, you defied heavenly rules and suffered punishment. I knew then that you, my boy, would inevitably do something out of line for her in this life."
As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Qianying frowned.
Nangong Mo's expression turned grim.
So did everyone else.
Du Chun and Meng Qinghua exchanged glances and looked towards Bai Xianhua.
Ouyang Qinglin's eyes flashed with anger. He glared at Bai Xianhua, clenching his fists.
Even young Yi Hao, standing beside them, looked unhappy. He glared at Bai Xianhua, and any desire he had to impress Bai Xianhua earlier vanished.
"Brother! Why are you saying these things?"
Nangong Mo's voice also turned cold.
"Hahaha, what? Can't your brother praise his sister-in-law? As the saying goes, even heroes can't escape the allure of beauty. The fact that you did so much for her shows that she is not only beautiful but also capable, wouldn't you agree?"
A look that no one could decipher flickered in Bai Xianhua's eyes.
It was dark and unclear.
"She is indeed the most beautiful person in this world. I am willing to do anything for her, but she is not a burden to me, nor is she my stumbling block. Brother! You should understand me. The thousand-year war was due to my inadequacy, not anyone else's. That time, if Qianying hadn't risked her life to save me, I wouldn't be alive. Brother, you cannot be prejudiced against her, you have no right to treat her this way!"
Nangong Mo clasped Gu Qianying's fingers.
His stance was clear.
"Heh!"
Bai Xianhua sneered, "So, am I a petty person judging a noble one?"
"Brother!"
Nangong Mo's face darkened.
"Alright, if my brother says this about me, doesn't it also mean I am stunningly beautiful? Isn't he praising me? Can't you hear it?"
Gu Qianying spoke up and smiled.
She understood Nangong Mo's importance to Bai Xianhua, so at this moment, she chose to defuse this "verbal dispute" with a joke.
At the same time, she looked at Bai Xianhua, and for the first time, she harbored doubts about him.
Du Chun and others who stood with Gu Qianying developed hostility towards Bai Xianhua.
If Gu Qianying hadn't stopped them, Du Chun and the others would have likely drawn their swords and attacked.
Sister-in-law, what you said is very true. Alright, I won't tease you two anymore. I owe my rebirth to you. I am here to thank everyone.
While speaking of thanks, Bai Xianhua stood straight, making no gesture.
Du Chun, Meng Qinghua, Ouyang Qinglin, and others looked at him with unfriendly expressions.
Since Bai Xianhua had been revived, Gu Qianying and the others discussed leaving the forbidden area.
These people retraced their steps through the forbidden area in the underground palace.
On the way, Xiao Yi Hao kept chasing Nangong Mo, calling him "Daddy" and insisting that Nangong Mo carry him.
Xiao Yi Hao clung to Nangong Mo's neck and refused to let go. Along the way, he also asked Nangong Mo to sing for him.
Nangong Mo was amused by Xiao Yi Hao's antics, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Beside them, Gu Qianying watched the two of them and smiled happily.
Ouyang Qinglin, following behind Gu Qianying, felt his mood lift as he saw Gu Qianying so happy.
Du Chun and Meng Qinghua, along with Nangong Mo, Bai Yulan, and the Bai couple who followed behind, walked behind.
Among them, Du Chun and Meng Qinghua were discussing Bai Xianhua.
The Bai couple remained silent throughout the journey.
Bai Yulan and Nangong Li, however, were quite lively on the road.
"Can you walk like a girl? You're so ugly. Also, can you not... make such loud noises when you eat? It's so unpleasant, as if you haven't eaten in centuries. You're so ugly, incredibly ugly."
Nangong Li played with his fan, looking at Bai Yulan walking beside him, her appearance as if she were starving.
She was eating wild fruits he had picked from the trees. Seeing her like that, she ate them all, not leaving any for him!
Nangong Li pouted, speaking sharp words, but inwardly, he was pleased.
"Am I not allowed to eat when I'm hungry? Besides, I'm not eating your family's rice, so why are you so stingy!"
Bai Yulan finished the red fruit in her hand, her red lips pursed stubbornly, looking incredibly beautiful.
Nangong Li was captivated. He twitched his nose and came back to his senses, his mouth still sharp, "You didn't eat my rice, but you ate the fruits I personally picked!"
Bai Yulan: "..."
Here, I won't eat it then! It tastes awful!"
Bai Yulan shoved the last fruit in her hand directly into Nangong Li's mouth.
She also rolled her eyes at him and glared at him several times.
Eating the fruit shoved into his mouth by someone, Nangong Li felt a different sensation.
After swallowing the fruit, Nangong Li still spoke with his usual sharp tongue, "You dislike the fruits I picked? Heh, even if they're not tasty, you still ate them, didn't you? You ate them all before saying they were bad. I'd believe that if pigs could fly!"
To say she disliked Nangong Li, well, she didn't dislike him that much, but Nangong Li's sharp tongue was something Bai Yulan couldn't tolerate.
She raised her hand towards him, "Are you looking for a beating!"
As Bai Yulan reached out her hand, Nangong Li dodged and, at the same time, grabbed Bai Yulan's wrist. They pulled and tugged at each other.
Suddenly, they both fell to the ground, with Bai Yulan landing on top of Nangong Li.
Lip to lip!
Their eyes widened simultaneously.
Du Chun and Meng Qinghua's conversation abruptly stopped.
Ouyang Qinglin, Gu Qianying, and Nangong Mo turned their heads.
Nangong Mo covered Xiao Yi Hao's eyes.
The Bai couple looked embarrassed and did not dare to look back.
Bai Xianhua's expression remained unchanged when he looked at them.
Insignificant people were unimportant to him.
"Pfft..."
Du Chun and Meng Qinghua's laughter was heard.
Ouyang Qinglin, Gu Qianying, and Nangong Mo also laughed.
Like a grasshopper, Nangong Li jumped up at the fastest speed!
Bai Yulan's face turned as red as an apple. She looked shy and covered her face.
Nangong Li moved far away from her, his face also showing embarrassment as he reached out to help her up.
He turned to Gu Qianying for help.
Gu Qianying walked over with a smile and extended her hand.
Bai Yulan also extended her hand and grabbed Gu Qianying.
At this moment, suddenly... many green, vine-like things spread out from beneath Bai Yulan, tightly entangling her.
Gu Qianying's cold eyes narrowed, "Not good!"
She quickly took out her Scarlet Blood Saber...
