Chapter 405 Opportunity
The main battle point was set up in Jiang Ming's study, and Dan Gui Pavilion arranged for disciples to be stationed there.
When the gate of light appeared, the disciples stationed there notified Hall Master Jiang.
As Shen Yao and the others came out of the study and stepped out of the Fengshen Hall, they encountered Jiang Ming, who had rushed over.
Jiang Ming saw Shen Yao and quickened his pace to go over: "Why did you suddenly come back?"
"It's over." Shen Yao said in a relaxed tone, with a hint of smugness: "Little Yicheng, you've got it under your thumb."
Jiang Ming smiled indulgently and ruffled her hair.
He glanced at Chu Yun behind him out of the corner of his eye, and looked up warily, asking, "What brings Immortal Chu back?"
In order to become your brother-in-law.
"Master Jiang." Chu Yun greeted him and said in a serious tone, "I took leave to come back because I want to pursue Sister Xianyu."
His expression, actions, and tone didn't sound like he was talking about returning to win back his wife; it sounded more like he was conducting a business meeting, reporting on the battle situation.
Jiang Ming was thinking too much; his brows furrowed, and his eyes became scrutinizing.
Shen Yao tugged at his sleeve, signaling him not to make things difficult for Chu Yun.
She changed the subject: "Where are Shi Bao and Qing'er?"
Jiang Ming's attention was drawn back to her: "Shi Bao is cultivating, and Qing'er is in Feng Hong Yuan."
"Let's go back to Maple Red Garden first." She turned to Chu Yun and called out, "You'll come with us."
In just a few days, Feng Qing has gained weight again.
Feng Yu eagerly took her daughter in her arms and carefully held her close: "You've gotten heavier."
"Let me see." Shen Yao leaned over and touched Feng Qing's chubby little face.
Feng Qing sensed her mother's presence, grabbed Shen Yao's fingers with one hand, and reached out to her with the other, groaning that she wanted a hug.
Shen Yao's heart melted. She took the swaddled baby into her arms, and the little bundle of flesh waved its tiny hands and laughed happily.
After seeing Feng Qing, Tu Xiaoxiao pulled Chu Yun back to her room to understand the situation and assess the progress.
"She keeps staring at you, is it only because you're a Celestial Lord that she doesn't want you?"
Chu Yun nodded helplessly.
After some analysis, Tu Xiaoxiao concluded that her sister-in-law liked the Immortal Lord's appearance and personality, but not his identity.
Xianyu had also told Chu Yun the reason: she felt that the Immortal Lord was too possessive.
They feared that if they took in a celestial being, he would become jealous every three days and cause a big scene every five days, disrupting the peace of their household.
She was afraid that the immortal lord would stop her from taking another husband.
In truth, when you fall in love with someone, who wouldn't want to possess them entirely? Love and desire know no race.
The customs of immortals, demons, and monsters are different.
Demons are mostly polygamous, or polyandrous. Demon cultivators are generally open-minded and their understanding of love differs from that of immortals and demons.
The immortal race almost universally adheres to monogamy, having no concept of sharing from childhood. Naturally, they have a stronger possessive streak and are less likely to restrain or hide it.
After thinking it over, Tu Xiaoxiao decided to ask Xianyu whether he liked Chu Yun or not.
If he likes her, then Chu Yun only needs to spend some time with her and let her know that he won't get jealous easily, and Xianyu will naturally accept him.
But if your sister-in-law doesn't like Chu Yun, then don't bother trying; it will only cause trouble.
Shen Yao returned for a short stay, and Xianyu received the message and soon came to Fenghongyuan with Haimu.
Hai Mu asked Shen Yao his usual three questions: "How have you been these past few days, Goddess? Have you been in any unusual mood? Have you encountered anything strange?"
Shen Yao replied mechanically, "I've been doing well lately, my mood is normal, and there's nothing unusual."
Upon seeing the girl he had been longing for, Chu Yun blushed uncontrollably once again.
He tried his best to act normal, greeting Xianyu politely and also saying hello to Haimu.
Hai Mu returned the greeting politely, subtly observing him.
After returning from Licheng that day, Haimu asked Xianyu in detail and learned that this immortal had been rejected after confessing his love.
He also knew that if he weren't a celestial lord, the salted fish's first husband wouldn't have been him, the mermaid demon.
The handsome immortal blushed and blushed shyly, creating a striking contrast. The salty fish's gaze was drawn away, and as always, he stared at him openly.
Chu Yun's face grew increasingly red as she watched.
Tu Xiaoxiao observed silently from the side. What else was there to ask? No need to ask, her sister-in-law definitely liked Chu Yun's appearance.
All you need to do is create opportunities to get to know each other.
Since Xianyu is going to find seven husbands anyway, she might as well find Chu Yun, whom she knows well, rather than looking for unfamiliar men outside.
Although she intended to help Chu Yun, Tu Xiaoxiao still needed to find out Hai Mu's thoughts. She couldn't afford to offend her brother-in-law for the sake of a suitor.
Before Tu Xiaoxiao could even offer her assistance, she saw Chu Yun meet up with Hai Mu, and the two of them went to the side.
Before Chu Yun could say anything, Hai Mu spoke first: "As long as Yu Yu is willing to accept you, I have no objection."
Chu Yun then knew that Xianyu must be someone he could talk to about anything and had told him everything.
It's impossible not to feel envious.
With the Mermaid Lord being so magnanimous, Chu Yun didn't know where to begin the words he was about to utter.
After hesitating for a while, he tentatively asked, "Aren't you angry?"
Haimu answered frankly, "When I met her, she said she wanted to find seven husbands. I agreed before we became partners. What's there to be angry about?"
It's a matter of willingness to give and receive; the salted fish made its demands clear from the beginning.
Chu Yun said sadly, "She said the same thing to me, and I can accept it, but she still doesn't want me."
Hai Mu knew the reason: "Because you are a Celestial Lord."
Because Xianyu's two immortal brothers-in-law are openly and secretly jealous of each other, often causing her sister a lot of trouble, Xianyu sees it all clearly and will never follow in her sister's footsteps.
Chu Yun explained, "Not all immortal lords are like Feng Yu and Jiang Ming..."
The trees in the backyard full of love-dissolving fruits were, in Hai Mu's eyes, evidence of the fox demons being ostracized.
He picked a love-resolving fruit and handed it to Chu Yun: "You have to tell this to Yu Yu."
When Xianyu and Haimu returned, Chu Yun followed, saying, "Little Xianyu."
Salty Fish turned to look at him, curious about what he wanted.
As planned, Chu Yun first created opportunities to spend time together: "Salty Fish Sister, I need to go to Dragon Gate Waterfall to cleanse my marrow and strengthen my tendons for a period of time. It's not very convenient to travel back and forth. Could you let me stay at Koi Residence for the time being?"
It was a piece of cake, and Xianyu agreed without hesitation: "Sure, then come back with us."
With the first step of the plan a success, Chu Yun suppressed his joy and quickly followed Xianyu away.
Fenghongyuan became much quieter. Feng Yu, Jiang Ming, and Tu Xiaoxiao all looked at Shen Yao with ambiguous expressions.
Three tall men stared at her strangely, creating an unusually strong sense of oppression.
Shen Yao couldn't help but take a step back: "Why are you all looking at me?"
Feng Yu and Jiang Ming both had cold faces, while Tu Xiaoxiao's lips curled into a wicked smile.
It was truly terrifying. Shen Yao turned around and tried to run away: "I'll go see if my daughter has woken up yet."
Feng Yu was quick and accurately grabbed the back of her collar.
Jiang Ming strode around to the front and blocked her way: "You just fell asleep, how could you wake up so quickly?"
Shen Yao had a bad feeling: "If you have something to say, just say it."
What could possibly be wrong? I was just teasing her.
Tu Xiaoxiao wrapped her fox tail around her waist and said in a sarcastic tone, "It's strange, Yu Yu and you are not blood sisters, but you look so alike."
Shen Yao pried Feng Yu's hand off her collar and argued, "How are we alike? We look completely different."
Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows high: "They're like that everywhere, always flirting with other women."
Oh no, my sister's romantic entanglements have somehow stirred up her family's jealousy.
Can't be bothered, can't be bothered.
