Chapter 635: Chapter 635: Want a Child

As the sky darkened, Yue Ying finally came out of the house looking shy, and said bashfully, "Yun Chan, I’m heading back. Take good care of Chen."

"You’ve worked hard, Yue Ying."

Yun Chan stood up and walked her to the door.

"I did it of my own free will. Being able to serve Chen twice, I’m already completely satisfied."

Yue Ying let out a contented smile and left, walking a little unsteadily.

The room was filled with a lewd scent. Yang Cheng was lying on the bed, looking utterly satisfied, eyes closed as he refined the Primordial Yin Qi he had just absorbed.

Sure enough, the Primordial Yin Qi in Yue Ying’s body was even richer than Yun Chan’s. After absorbing it, half of the True Qi he’d used up was replenished, leaving his entire body feeling relaxed and comfortable.

"Well? Feeling any better?"

Yun Chan asked softly, using a kerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Yang Cheng slowly opened his eyes, took her soft hand in his, and said quietly, "I’ve recovered a bit. Tonight we’ll continue Dual Cultivation. I figure by tomorrow morning I’ll be fully recovered."

"You just finished with another woman. Don’t you dare touch me."

Yun Chan said sourly. She could push Yang Cheng into another woman’s arms, but she couldn’t suppress the sadness in her heart.

"You’re the one who brought her over. I even tried to resist just now. After all, if Da Shan finds out, it’ll affect their relationship as husband and wife."

Yang Cheng felt a bit worried. He’d been too wild with Yue Ying just now, and he didn’t know if she’d be found out when she went back.

"Yue Ying did this to save you. Even if Da Shan finds out, he won’t say anything."

She was sure it wouldn’t cause trouble for Yue Ying before she thickened her skin and called her over.

Yang Cheng nodded, got up, wrapped an arm around her waist, and pulled her directly into his arms.

"Let me go. You reek of Yue Ying. Go wash up before you touch me again!"

Yun Chan started struggling, pushing hard against his chest.

Seeing how resistant she was, Yang Cheng had no choice but to get up and heat water for a bath.

By the time he finished washing and came back in, the bed sheet had been changed. Yun Chan was lying on the bed in a nightdress, her graceful curves looking especially enticing in the candlelight.

Hearing his footsteps, Yun Chan didn’t say anything. It wasn’t until a burning hot chest pressed up against her back that she struggled slightly.

"Yun Chan, what’s with you today? You’re actually jealous?"

Yang Cheng was a bit puzzled. He leaned in to look at her and saw that she was downcast, like something was weighing on her mind.

"Yang Cheng, there’s something I want to discuss with you."

Seeing how serious she was, Yang Cheng wrapped an arm around her waist, turned her over to face him, and said softly, "Go ahead."

"I’m starting to regret being with you, because you’ll be leaving in a few days. I’ve already tasted what love feels like, I’ve even been to bustling Luochuan. I don’t know how I’m supposed to live the days without you after this."

Yun Chan’s voice trembled, her beautiful eyes filling with tears.

"Yun Chan, don’t think like that. I promised you I’d come visit whenever I have time."

Yang Cheng stroked her delicate face, a pang of sourness swelling in his chest.

"But how many times can you actually come? Maybe after a long time, you’ll just forget about me. So I’ve thought about it for a long time. There’s only one thing you can really leave me."

"What thing?"

Looking into those tearful eyes, at this moment, if she asked for the moon in the sky, he would try to pluck it down for her.

"I want a child."

At those words, Yang Cheng was stunned.

He’d thought she wanted some keepsake token of their love, but it turned out Yun Chan wanted a child.

"But you said yourself the village chief of Hidden Cloud Village can’t marry or have children. If someone finds out, what will happen to you? I can’t let you take that risk."

Seeing him refuse without a moment’s hesitation, Yun Chan grew emotional. "For this child, I’m willing to challenge the rules just once. After I get pregnant, I can wear looser clothes and bind my belly with cloth."

"While I’m pregnant, I’ll have Yue Ying pretend she’s the one who’s pregnant, and talk it over with Da Shan in advance. He knows the child in my belly would be yours; he’ll definitely help me."

"When it’s time for me to give birth, Yue Ying and Ms. Hong can come into the room to help. Once the baby is born, the villagers will just think it’s Yue Ying’s child. She and Da Shan can then pass the child on to me. Wouldn’t that make it perfectly legitimate?"

Yang Cheng abruptly sat up in bed, his face serious. "Yun Chan, you’re oversimplifying things. Childbirth is extremely dangerous. Yue Ying and Ms. Hong don’t know any medicine. If anything goes wrong, your life will be on the line."

"And after childbirth, a woman’s body is weak and her face goes pale. Those aunties in the village have all been through it themselves; they can tell at a glance. If anyone with bad intentions catches on, what will you do then?"

The two of them stared into each other’s eyes as Yun Chan’s tears slid down, her voice choked. "But I can’t accept a life without you. If I have a child, I’ll have something to hold on to."

"Even if you don’t love me anymore someday, you’ll still come back to Hidden Cloud Village for the child."

Yang Cheng was moved, pulling her tightly into his arms with a soft sigh. "You silly thing. Who said I’d ever stop loving you? I promise you, no matter what happens, I’ll come see you every year."

"If I have enough time, I’ll stay here longer each visit. And if you still want to have a child in the future, I’ll stay by your side and watch you give birth with my own eyes. The medical conditions in the village are too backward. If I’m not with you, I’d worry something might go wrong."

"You mean it?"

Tears still shimmered in Yun Chan’s eyes, but they clearly lit up.

"Of course I mean it. I just can’t be sure which time of the year I’ll be able to come, but I will come."

Yang Cheng’s voice was gentle as he lowered his head and kissed her red lips.

Their lips and tongues tangled as they held each other tightly, savoring each other’s scent and warmth, the atmosphere growing more and more charged with intimacy.

Before long, the sound of the big bed creaking and a woman’s seductive moans drifted out of the room.

...

The next morning.

Yang Cheng stepped out the door looking thoroughly satisfied and headed straight for Da Shan’s House.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Kong Lingwen feeding Ni Qingyao, and said with a smile, "Lin Wen, thanks for taking care of Auntie."

"She’s my godmother. It’s only right that I take care of her."

Kong Lingwen said proudly, picking up a napkin to wipe Ni Qingyao’s mouth.

Luckily she’d come along this time, or there would’ve been no one to look after her godmother.

Yang Cheng reached out and pinched her cheek, giving it a hard tug, and immediately heard her furious curse.

"Bastard! Let go of me!"

Watching the two of them bicker like a quarreling couple, Ni Qingyao couldn’t help but smile. "Xiaochen, stop bullying Lin Wen. She’s been the one taking care of me all this time; it really has been hard on her."

Yang Cheng let go, letting Kong Lingwen swat him twice in retaliation, then leaned over to the bedside to examine Ni Qingyao.

"Auntie, your condition is very stable right now, but you can at most hold on until the night after tomorrow. I’ll head up the mountain tonight to get the Purifying Spirit Spring. If everything goes smoothly, I’ll be back by tomorrow morning. If it doesn’t, I might be a bit late."
