Chapter 478 Warm Room

Mo Liujin took Chu Qingmeng to see the warm room. The floor inside the room was much higher than outside, and the temperature inside was as mild as spring.

Chu Qingmeng's eyes lit up, "Is this an earth dragon?"

"Yes. This is a new method developed by the Ministry of Industry this year, and the palace has already started using it." Mo Liujin helped her sit on the couch, and Chu Qingmeng was surprised to find that it was a kang!

"You are really afraid of the cold, and I have no other choice but to give it a try. There are too many charcoal braziers in the room, and they are not good for your health." Mo Liujin saw her lying happily on the kang with a comfortable look on her face, and he couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his lips.

Chu Qingmeng knew that ancient people used ground heating systems, and as a northerner, she also knew that kangs could provide warmth. However, she had never used them, only seen them, and had no idea how they worked. So, for the past few years, she'd relied on charcoal basins and hot water bottles to survive. She'd also asked Mu Lingxue about the process, but she didn't understand either.

"Madam, have you used it before?" Seeing that Chu Qingmeng didn't look surprised, Mo Liujin lay down with her.

"No, in the history of Dragon Country, ground dragons were generally used by royal relatives and nobles, and ordinary people used kangs to keep warm. But in the era when I live in, such things are rare. We have other ways to keep warm, and the house is like spring all year round." Chu Qingmeng lay on the kang and felt his stomach was warm and comfortable.

"Four seasons like spring?" Mo Liujin was surprised.

"Well... Dayu Kingdom is probably similar to Dragon Kingdom two thousand years ago..." Chu Qingmeng felt a little drowsy from the warmth.

Mo Liujin sat up straight away. The Great Yu Kingdom was at its peak. With Second Sister-in-law around, the people had been able to eat their fill twenty years ago. Now, it had over a dozen vassal states. How could such a powerful nation be only comparable to the Dragon Kingdom two thousand years ago?

Mo Liujin was lost in thought, but Chu Qingmeng had already fallen asleep.

A soft snore woke Mo Liujin up. Reluctantly, he picked her up and let her lie down again. This time, her breathing became steady. The room was warm, so he only covered her with a thin blanket.

He ordered Chunhe and others to pack up Chu Qingmeng's things, and all the things he needed on a daily basis had to be moved over.

He leaned on the couch and read a book. He had stopped practicing recently and had read a lot of books on the fifth floor. He also found the answers he wanted in them.

His mood had changed drastically now. Qing Meng was by his side, and he would cherish her. If she died, he would be with her. Since death would allow him to transform back into the giant snake, then as a demon, he would surely be able to spend many years with her.

The human body is too slow after all.

He didn't want to be separated from her again.

just.

Mo Liujin sighed as he looked at the person on the bed. He didn't have the complete memory of the giant snake. Even though he knew that he was him and he was himself, he still felt heartbroken about giving his beloved wife to someone else.

Chu Qingmeng slept until noon. If Mo Liujin hadn't woken her up, she would have slept until night.

"Okay, wake up and have some food." Mo Liujin found her sleepy and found it a little funny. He touched her face and gently squeezed it. "I wonder what the child of the little fox and the black snake will be like."

"..." Chu Qingmeng was so angry that she laughed and opened his hand. "Can there be anything else in your mind? It's not enough for me to be a mortal and give birth to your child in this life. Are you not going to let me go when I go back?"

"No." Mo Liujin held her in his arms and reached out to tidy up her hair. "I admit that I'm despicable, but only when you have my child will I feel at ease. Just like now, if it weren't for Jiang Qing and Jiang Che, you would have left me long ago, right?"

"..." Chu Qingmeng didn't answer, a trace of guilt flashing across her face. If she hadn't been unable to let go of Jiang Qing and Jiang Che, she would have left long ago just based on Concubine Liu's repeated disturbances. No matter how much she loved him, she didn't like others constantly stepping on her bottom line.

In fact, she could understand his dilemma in many things. After all, she was his mother, and he was doing very well now. But understanding is understanding, experience is experience, and she was the one being targeted.

Mo Liujin noticed her guilty conscience and patted her on the butt, "Chu Qingmeng!"

"I told you not to spank me anymore!" Chu Qingmeng's face turned red. She hated him spanking her for no reason and also hated him always describing how excited she was in bed in her ear.

Mo Liujin didn't move his hand away and squeezed it.

With a bang, Chu Qingmeng's face turned completely red and she began to struggle from his arms, "Old man, let me go!"

Mo Liujin's face darkened instantly. He placed his large hand on Chu Qingmeng's neck, clamped her jaw, and pressed his lips against hers.

After a moment, Chu Qingmeng leaned on his shoulder, gasping for breath, and felt a slight pain on his lips.

"If I hear you call me old thing again, I will make sure you stay in bed all day long!" Mo Liujin's playful voice came to his ears.

"..." Chu Qingmeng snorted, "You'll be exhausted to death sooner or later."

Mo Liujin just chuckled and didn't answer. It was strange to say, at his age, he shouldn't still be as young as a young man, but his body really hadn't changed much. He wondered if it was because he hadn't touched a woman in the past twenty years.
