“Damn it.”
Li Mo clutched his nose, looking bewildered.
As a revered Divine Weapon, was the hammer treasure a place where one could just move one's hands and feet? Even if he moved his feet, he moved both at once.
His peripheral vision followed the legs, longer than life itself, and the Ice Cube’s brows were relaxed; she was still sleeping soundly.
She probably hadn't slept well normally, and today she just relaxed a little.
“But she can’t relax too much.”
“The Ice Cube softened, but I...”
“Was my partial Heaven and Earth Dharma Form just playing around with you?”
Li Mo stood up, looking up at the ceiling at a Forty-five-degree angle, not letting the warmth in his nose flow down.
“Miss Ying! Miss Ying!”
“Little Bing’er!”
The door was suddenly knocked, and two slightly familiar female voices came from outside.
Opening the door, he saw Zhong Ling and Shang Qinqing.
“Hmm? Li Mo, I was just about to ask Miss Ying where you were.”
Zhong Ling was startled; he had just gone to call Li Mo.
Clan Leader Shang’s eyes instantly lit up, and she rummaged in her pocket, pulling out a handful of melon seeds, ready to crack them.
How could Clan Leader Shang always pull out a handful of melon seeds anywhere... Li Mo hid half his body behind the door, complaining inwardly before asking:
“What’s up so early in the morning?”
“Oh, my father wants to see you and invites you and Miss Ying to be guests at the Imperial City.”
The father Zhong Ling referred to was naturally Zhennan King, who held considerable prestige in the Southern Border.
Li Mo nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll go with the Ice Cube later.”
As a result of that nod, the warmth in his nasal cavity flowed out again.
“Brother Li, you are...” Zhong Ling looked wary.
Li Mo, with a serious expression, wiped his nose nonchalantly: “Minor issue. While sparring with Ying Bing, she accidentally slipped... her foot, causing me a minor injury.”
“Really?”
Shang Qinqing narrowed her eyes, somewhat disbelieving.
Could it be that nothing life-threatening happened?
She wanted to see a birth and felt that it might happen soon.
“Really!”
Li Mo said emphatically.
As soon as he finished speaking, a hazy voice sounded from behind him:
“Who’s there?”
The Ice Cube’s tired face looked somewhat languid, like a sleeping lotus about to awaken, with a few strands of messy hair clinging to her lips, making it hard to associate her with the cold and divine Han Xianzi.
“!”
Li Mo’s sharp eyes spotted a few shocking streaks of crimson on the Ice Cube’s pristine white nightgown... Damn it, when did his nosebleed get on there?
He hadn't paid any attention just now... “??”
Zhong Ling leaned back defensively, her eyes gradually becoming blank.
Shang Qinqing’s eyes gleamed with excitement and ecstasy, letting out a ‘giggle’ like a pure-blooded Phoenix resembling an old hen.
“It seems last night’s sparring was indeed quite intense, huh? Why don’t you rest a bit before going out? Little Bing’er might not be too comfortable...”
“...That’s blood from my nose!”
“Oh, oh, oh~” Shang Qinqing’s expression was hard to describe, as she winked and made faces.
“I’ve been having internal heat recently, and then...”
“No need to explain, I believe you.”
“You’ve been cracking melon seeds, you haven’t stopped!” Li Mo felt that Clan Leader Shang’s eyes didn’t match what she was saying.
You’re cracking eight a second; how can I believe your nonsense?
Ying Bing also lowered her gaze and, upon discovering the bloodstains on her nightgown, her eyes went blank.
She didn’t suspect anything else.
Instead, she realized what the warm, soft thing she had been stepping on in her dream was... Downstairs, protected by a squad of heavily armed personal guards, Zhong Zhenyue, wrapped up like a zongzi, poked his head out.
Seeing only Li Mo and Zhong Ling coming together, he asked curiously:
“Where’s Miss Ying?”
“She said she wanted to rest well. I’ll go on her behalf...”
Li Mo was just speaking when Zhong Ling interjected:
“She’s preparing to have a baby.” ƒгeewebnovёl.com
“?”
Zhong Zhenyue’s body trembled, pulling at his wounds, and he grimaced, sucking in a cold breath.
After a moment of silence, he gave a thumbs-up.
“How could it be so fast... No, I told you you misunderstood.” Li Mo was also stunned.
Zhong Ling, you’re fine, but why does your mouth drop nuclear bombs?
“The old women in the Prince’s Mansion told me; there was blood.”
Zhong Ling had an expression of someone who had grasped the truth.
The old women in the Prince’s Mansion had served many prominent families, and Zhong Ling had personally seen her cut blood-stained scraps of cloth from the bed in the bridal chamber in the morning.
“Let’s go first...” fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Li Mo glanced at the sky and got into the carriage.
The carriage went straight into the Inner City, unimpeded, until it approached the Imperial City, where inspections became more frequent, recognizing passes, not people.
Prince Zhennan’s Mansion was said to be in the Imperial City, but it was actually between the Inner City and the Imperial City, a place where all ducal and marquis families resided.
Along the way, Li Mo kept his Tianming Divine Eye open, observing the comings and goings.
He still had two hundred years of Martial Arts Comprehension left.
It was a lot for hammer Dao, but too little for sword Dao, so he was saving it for emergencies.
And Dugu Nine Swords was just one step away from completion.
So, for these two days, Li Mo planned to look for investment opportunities in the Imperial City.
“Brother Li, you and Miss Ying aren’t married yet, are you?”
When the carriage slowed down, Zhong Zhenyue suddenly asked.
Your reflex arc is a bit long... Li Mo lowered the curtain; the street was already becoming less crowded: “No...”
“Then I suggest you quickly get married first. Then she’ll be your wife, and you’ll be her husband, which will be proper, and I also want to know what marriage is like.”
Saying that, Zhong Ling blushed and glanced at Zhong Zhenyue again.
“Marriage... the Ice Cube in a Phoenix coronet and robes...”
Li Mo couldn’t help but imagine.
The scene was the most common bridal chamber night in ancient dramas.
What did he do in his previous life to be able to lift the veil and see Han Xianzi’s face in the dim candlelight in this life?
Li Mo was startled by his own thoughts and ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) suppressed his mind from wandering.
The Ice Cube was the only red destiny; once upon a time, he only hugged the Ice Cube’s jade legs to get rewards, never daring to think of such things.
Now that he had gotten the rewards and learned what Teacher Ice Cube taught, he actually wanted her to call him husband and have her bear his children... Xiao Li, you truly are a rebellious beast!
“Can you have children without getting married? No, right...”
Zhong Zhenyue had a serious expression, his eyes full of wisdom.
In his mind, only after going through the ‘marriage’ process could one have children.
“...Why do you think that?”
“No child has ever attended their parents’ wedding ceremony, so how can there be children without getting married?”
“Indeed.”
Li Mo’s study materials from his previous life were stirring.
But he still refrained from vocalizing them.
Because, to be honest... those beastly thoughts, just thinking about them made him more and more excited.
Xiao Li, the gentleman, believed that a gentleman is judged by his actions, not his thoughts.
So, it was fine to just think about it; saying it out loud would not be the same thing, would it?
