Feng Shihao did not linger, feeling relieved to see Lingyao well.
"Lingyao, elder brother is leaving. I'll come see you again with Linglong when I find her."
He never believed that she and their child were dead. He had finally found a clue recently and would find them soon.
"Be well with him."
"Also, he has now repented, is diligently governing, is strict with himself, and dedicates himself to state affairs every day. Jing Country is recovering year by year. This should be what you wanted to see before." He was speaking of Feng Shijin this time.
As Feng Shihao was leaving, he finally brought it up.
He knew she must still have reservations, otherwise, she wouldn't have remained silent.
Bringing this up wasn't to ask for forgiveness, but for her to truly let go, so she could be happier.
Xue Niang lowered her head. She had once wished to kill that brother. Later, she felt disappointed and disgusted, wanting only to escape.
Now, she was just an ordinary person, no longer a goddess. Those high platforms, honors, brilliant radiance, and royal power were all far from her.
The youth who had once brought her light was also far away.
There was no need to forget, nor to deliberately remember. It would simply reside in a corner of her memory.
Liu Zhuzi, along with over a dozen villagers, enthusiastically helped Xiao Shan build his house, and also expanded his current residence by two rooms.
It was completed in just ten days. Everyone knew this was for Xiao Niangzi's third brother, and their minds began to stir.
Building a house meant marriage, and it was definitely meant for the third brother to marry a wife!
Looking at the third brother, he was truly heroic and extraordinary. He was often seen practicing his sword under the trees outside, captivating many young girls and married women.
The villagers didn't know his name either, all calling him "Third Brother" as Xiao Shan did. "His Third Brother."
Later, even the 80-year-old elders called him "Third Brother."
Every time Third Brother heard it, he would turn away with a dark expression, but this only made the villagers more enthusiastic towards him.
Back when Xiao Shan first arrived at Bozi Village, wasn't it the same? Facts proved that this kind of man was good; he would surely be devoted if he married.
"Third Brother, my niece cooks delicious food. If you marry her, I guarantee you'll have a different dish every day. How about we go take a look today?"
Another unknown woman blocked their path.
There was no choice; the spacious five-room house was too tempting. Third Brother simply didn't understand the benefits of women. If she talked to him more, perhaps it would work out.
Third Brother's brow furrowed tightly.
"Xiao Shan can cook."
"Oh my, how can you say that? Xiao Shan is a man, he can't warm your bed, can he?"
".......The bed isn't cold."
After marriage, there would be spiritual cultivation. These mortal women had no spiritual power. Their strengths were not matched. Besides wasting effort like Xiao Shan, what was the use? He wouldn't seek such trouble.
Everyone in the village was secretly eyeing Third Brother, but only one person was focused on another matter every day.
That was Su Peilan, waiting for Xiao Shan's dragon and phoenix twins to return.
She waited for more than ten days, but still hadn't seen them. Her disbelief grew, and she began to bring her precious son out to show off again.
Now that the Ghost Forest on the mountain had mysteriously disappeared, children were no longer kept so tightly by their parents. Many children went up the mountain to play in groups. Once, Chun Sheng followed them without Su Peilan noticing.
As a result, after chatting with someone, Su Peilan turned around and couldn't find her son. Upon inquiry, she learned he had gone up the mountain. Moreover, other children had returned, but Chun Sheng had not.
Su Peilan cried and begged people to go up the mountain to search.
Then, a giant white wolf was seen slowly descending the mountain, carrying a child in its mouth.
Everyone was so scared they couldn't move.
However, the white wolf saw people, tossed the child in its mouth towards them, and then walked step by step towards the village entrance with its head held high, appearing noble and majestic.
The child was fine, still asleep, with snot dripping into his mouth.
Although the villagers were fearful, they also gathered and followed behind, wanting to see where the white wolf was going. If such a large creature wreaked havoc in the village, how many people would suffer.
The white wolf stopped at Xiao Shan's house and let out a howl, not loud, as if calling someone.
Then, Third Brother came out.
The white wolf prostrated itself on the ground, as obedient as a dog.
"Bring back a deer today. I want to eat roasted venison," Third Brother commanded.
The white wolf howled again and got up.
"From now on, you will live in the newly built house over there. Your wolf den has also been set up, so I don't have to call you every day."
"Awooo!"
Understood!
He had truly become a guard dog, and a hunter as well! Fine, for the sake of his spiritual power, he would endure it a bit longer. Once this period passed, he would be the unique wolf king of the Snow Wolf clan since ancient times!
"Truly a spineless wolf."
Just as the Snow Wolf was boosting its morale, it heard the goddess's voice in its mind. She was speaking to Lord Dayao, and deliberately let it hear.
How wicked!
"Yes! The Snow Wolf clan is truly like eagles hatching sparrows, each generation worse than the last."
Lord Dayao's voice.
"Wuwu!" The Snow Wolf ran away in tears!
It was going to find its fiancée for comfort.
The villagers were shocked!
Third Brother was so imposing! He could control wolves! And it looked like a sentient, giant wolf king!
He would never have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of his life!
In the eyes of the villagers, Third Brother became delicious meat. People came to find him every day, almost knocking down the door.
When the time was right, Xiao Shan drove them away. The new house was all tidied up. Third Brother didn't mind; it was the same wherever he lived. There was only one thing.
"Food?"
"Eat here."
"Alright."
Third Brother moved into the new house that night. It was quite good, very peaceful. There was even a huge swing hanging in the yard. He swung for a long time, high enough to reach the sky, which was very comforting.
However, the commotion at night started again.
This was the downside of Xiao Shan.
It was also because his hearing was too sharp. Even with several houses in between, he could still hear.
Ah Yin was begging for mercy again, so useless.
And too lazy to cultivate.
Xiao Shan was also foolish, both of them were foolish.
Now that Third Brother had moved out, could Xiao Shan not play happily? After all, the children were almost here, and there would be more eyesores then.
"Then I'll wait three more days. If the children don't come, I'll go find them. If you dare to lie to me again, I will... hmm..." Xue Niang's voice was intermittent.
The children's birthdays were ultimately missed.
"I really didn't lie to you. The children are playing and walking slowly. At most three days, they will definitely arrive."
Xue Niang's mind could no longer grasp anything. The string of pearls on her head swayed back and forth, making her dizzy.
She reached out her arm, wanting to grasp it, but every time she was about to reach it, it would be like waves, violently crashing against the reef.
She never managed to catch it.
"Ah Shan... Ah Shan Gege... Ancestor, I really can't anymore..."
Broken pleas were swallowed. Xiao Shan covered her completely like a mountain, only revealing two fair white legs coiled around his sturdy waist, before sliding down powerlessly.
She liked the kisses at this time; it made her feel cherished.
He knew her preferences like the back of his hand and fulfilled them to the fullest.
"Bad guy..."
She was so tired she couldn't even open her eyes, held entirely in the man's arms, his mouth still nuzzling her temple.
Unseen, the man's eyes held tender, sweet affection, and after satisfaction, tenderness and contentment.
