The Daughter Of Destiny Broke Off The Engagement? I Married Her Sister Instead.

"White Night Society?"

Upon hearing this name, Gu Qingxue immediately understood the other party's identity, so she appeared even more surprised.

Isn't this the Assassin's Association? Now that they have set their sights on her, could it be that they want to wipe out her Chu family?

She wasn't very familiar with this guild and didn't know how many powerful individuals were inside, so she was quite wary and afraid.

"Don't worry for now, they won't dare to make a move." Chu Qianqiu comforted his wife and gave his conclusion.

"Firstly, Moon Phoenix City is governed by the Rising Sun Empire. We are official residents and will be protected by the empire's regulations."

"This White Night Society is at most a force that is slightly more formidable than a bandit gang, but they wouldn't dare to challenge the authority of an empire."

"However, in the recent days, none of us from the Chu family should leave the city. Any matters should be resolved within the city."

"We are definitely safe within Moon Phoenix City, but outside, we are indeed beyond the control of the Rising Sun Empire."

Speaking up to this point, Chu Qianqiu recalled the events that happened in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

Those White Night Society cultivators who chased after him in the mountains were mostly at the Foundation Building stage, and they were indeed quite formidable.

But he was certain that these guys were not just ordinary members of the White Night Society. They should already be considered elites within the society, even among the top few.

Therefore, after those people had suffered a painful lesson, they definitely wouldn't dare to do anything to the Chu family's descendants for a short period of time. Everyone just needed to stay within the city, and everything could be treated as if nothing had happened.

...

After explaining these matters to Xue'er, another day quickly passed.

In the evening, Chu Qianqiu exchanged some information about the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range with his wife, which made her heart pound with fear.

Of course, he didn't mention what happened between him and Liu Ruoyan in the cave, as well as being "played with" by the snake demon Bai Luan.

Chu Qianqiu still had some face to maintain. He didn't want his lifelong reputation to be ruined by these things.

As the two of them chatted into the late night, Chu Qianqiu suddenly realized that their daughter seemed to be missing from the room. He looked for her but couldn't find her.

He had just returned today and had many things to attend to, coupled with physical and mental exhaustion, so he forgot about his daughter and hadn't seen her all day.

Gu Qingxue replied that she was also worried about their daughter during the days when he was away, but a few days ago, she suddenly said she wanted to live with her grandparents, so they hadn't seen her since then.

Gu Qingxue didn't think much of her daughter's behavior. She just thought that their daughter wanted to play with her grandparents. In addition, she was also worried about her husband, so she hadn't checked on their daughter during this time.

After receiving this news, Chu Qianqiu felt relieved.

He thought his daughter was sick, but it seemed that nothing major had happened.

So tonight, there were only the two of them in their room.

Thinking of this, Chu Qianqiu, who was originally exhausted, suddenly became excited.

Thus, in the joy of reunion, the two of them spent the night together.

...

The next day, Chu Qianqiu slept until noon.

When he woke up, Xue'er had already gone to take care of things at home and had prepared a table full of delicious food to reward him.

Chu Qianqiu enjoyed a hearty meal and couldn't help but wonder why their daughter hadn't come out yet.

Today, even his parents had come out to see him, but their daughter still hadn't appeared.

If it weren't for his parents personally telling him that Xiaoyuehan was sleeping in their room and it wasn't appropriate to disturb her, Chu Qianqiu would have personally gone to check.

"It's really strange... Oh well, let's not worry about it for now."

Chu Qianqiu chewed on something in his mouth, speaking vaguely, and finished all the meals Xue'er had made for him.

Although he had reached the Foundation Building stage, where he could go without eating or drinking for a month without feeling any discomfort, since he was back home, even if he ate until he was full, he didn't want to disappoint Xue'er and let her down.

After Chu Qianqiu finished eating, Gu Qingxue happily collected the bowls and chopsticks.

Watching his wife's departing figure, Chu Qianqiu started thinking about something again.

He noticed a problem - his wife's body hasn't shown any reaction recently.

This reaction, of course, refers to the implantation reaction.

He realized that it had been so long since he and Xue'er had been intimate, and her body hadn't shown any adverse conditions.

This indicated that Xue'er hadn't conceived a second child and nothing had happened.

Perhaps it was because it hadn't been two years since she gave birth to Xiaoyuehan?

That's what Chu Qianqiu thought at the time.

But today, he felt that something was definitely wrong.

He had read a vague description about Xue'er's physique in a book called "Strange Tales from the Body Chamber."

It was an uncertain rumor in the book, saying that people with Xue'er's physique might not conceive again after giving birth to their first child.

This was a statement recorded in the book that couldn't be confirmed for the time being.

But now, it seemed that this statement was being confirmed by Xue'er, which made Chu Qianqiu somewhat worried.

"Oh no, does this mean Xue'er can only have one child in her lifetime? What a pity."

"But this matter is not yet certain... Let's see in the future, hopefully it won't affect her mood."

Thinking in his heart, Chu Qianqiu decided to temporarily keep this matter hidden.

Coincidentally, at this moment, someone sent a message to him, saying that there was a woman waiting outside the main gate.

This interrupted his worries, and he knew who it was, so he quickly composed himself and went out to check.

"Chu Gongzi, you're finally back!"

Sure enough, when Chu Qianqiu went outside, the person who came to see him was the excited Qinglian.

He invited Qinglian into the house to talk, made her a cup of tea, and listened attentively.

Seeing him again, it was obvious that Qinglian was extremely excited, but she was trying her best to suppress it, her face blushing.

She kept talking, talking about how her grandfather's condition had improved in recent days, and various miscellaneous things, gradually abandoning her previous shy demeanor.

Soon, half a day passed.

Qinglian stood at the door, reluctantly leaving the Chu family.

Chu Qianqiu saw her off with just a smile.

He didn't inform her about his plan to gather medicinal herbs in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain and prepare to refine the Evil Expelling Pill. Instead, he planned to surprise her after it was done.

Because he knew that it was unlikely for the Evil Expelling Pill to be refined all at once, he first gave Qinglian the prescription for restoring her body's vitality, asking her to keep it.

Qinglian accepted it openly this time and promised to repay the favor.

From the look in her eyes, Chu Qianqiu saw a hint of dependence.

This made him unable to help but think about how Qinglian would repay the favor she mentioned.

It seems that his proactive approach back then had indeed yielded results.

Although Qinglian didn't say it explicitly, her heart had already given its consent.
