"Good, good, that's great,"
Mu Xing immediately cheered, clapping his fair hands, and seized the opportunity to plant a kiss on Chu Feng's cheek, instantly making the atmosphere in the grand hall incredibly warm.
It was well known that Mu Xing never kissed people casually. Normally, besides his mother, he didn't kiss anyone. From this incident, it could be seen how much he yearned for a little brother.
Moreover, this vast island should have more people to liven things up. Otherwise, it would be too desolate. Little Mu Xing was already so lively.
If there were a few more children, the islanders wouldn't be lonely. With this thought, someone winked at Chu Feng and spoke.
"Chu Feng, you need to put in more effort, otherwise, you'll disappoint little Mu Xing's anticipation."
Everyone was laughing so hard they were almost breathless. Only Duanmu looked crestfallen. He could have been married too, could have had a few children, and started his own family.
He had no family since childhood, following the master along with Chu Feng and Dai Mei. Now, seeing Chu Feng getting married, his heart suddenly felt sad and reluctant. He thought about how Cui'er had rejected his proposal.
Duanmu walked to a secluded corner and stood silently, looking at everything before him. Because everyone was overly joyous, they didn't notice his lonely expression.
Just then, Liu Liu's clear and cold voice echoed from the entrance of the grand hall: "Mu Xing, have you been causing trouble again?"
Everyone looked towards the entrance. They saw the楼主, as beautiful as a celestial being, dressed in a flowing, floor-sweeping, smoke-hued skirt. Her hair was styled in a loose Bi Yun bun, with a hairpin adorned with pearls and jade tassels.
As she moved, the jade tassels swayed gracefully, adding to the unparalleled beauty of her elegant and refined countenance.
The楼主 was always this beautiful? Everyone was stunned. When they came back to their senses, they felt a flush of admiration, but it was also true that she was uncompromising in her dealings, so while everyone liked her, they shouldn't cross her principles.
"楼主, you're here," everyone said respectfully. Liu Liu nodded and walked straight to Chu Feng. Chu Feng looked at Liu Liu, a hint of gratitude filling his eyes, and a faint smile curved his lips. "Thank you,楼主."
"It's nothing. It's just a good opportunity for everyone to have some fun. But why are you all gathered here? Tomorrow is the wedding day. Shouldn't the bride and groom refrain from seeing each other?" Liu Liu's lips curved into an arc as she teasingly looked at her senior sister, Qing Feng.
Qing Feng's face was already flushed crimson. Seeing her junior sister speak again, she shyly darted out of the grand hall. Laughter erupted from the people in the hall.
Su Xinhe, who had been standing nearby, saw Liu Liu appear and walked over, taking Liu Liu's hand and asking with concern, "Are you alright?"
Su Xinhe and Qing Ming lived in the most secluded corner of Xiaoyao Island, far from the main house of Qixing Tower. Normally, unless something was wrong, they wouldn't come over. Therefore, Liu Liu had been back for a few days, and they hadn't seen her yet, which was why they were so concerned and asking.
"I'm fine, Auntie. Don't worry, nothing's wrong," Liu Liu shook her head. What happened in Fengyue City was thrilling enough, but she didn't want her aunt to know about it, so she spoke evasively.
As the two equally outstanding women were talking, Mu Xing had already leaped down from Chu Feng's arms and pounced to his mother's feet, saying excitedly, "Mother, Mu Xing will have a little brother to play with soon."
Liu Liu couldn't help but laugh at her son's innocent words. This child thought having a baby was as simple as buying something. How could he know it took ten months of pregnancy to give birth?
Of course, she didn't want to discuss with him how long it would take for a baby to be born at this moment.
"If you want one, then Mu Xing needs to be well-behaved. Otherwise, the little brother will be angry."
"Okay,"
Mu Xing nodded immediately, his tender little face flushed with happiness, making him even more alluring. Everyone knew that this child would grow up to be incredibly handsome.
Because of Mu Xing's happy reply, everyone laughed again. Only Duanmu looked troubled when he saw Cui'er's figure.
With a gloomy expression, he didn't say a word. Cui'er felt a pang of guilt when she saw the hurt in Duanmu's eyes, but what could she do? She could only turn away and not look at him.
Liu Liu looked at the strange way the two of them were behaving and was momentarily unsure how to handle their situation. Just as she was puzzling over it, a subordinate rushed into the grand hall and said breathlessly.
"Master, someone has trespassed onto Xiaoyao Island?"
"Who?" A clear, cold snort echoed, and the atmosphere in the previously joyous hall instantly turned cold.
These were all top-tier experts in the martial world. Upon hearing that someone dared to cause trouble on Xiaoyao Island, killing intent immediately surged through them. They were all itching for a fight. Who was so fearless?
The subordinate's face tensed. He had no idea who the intruder was, but he saw that he had broken the formation and barged into the grand hall after entering the island. xxs壹贰
"Me?"
Just as the subordinate didn't know how to reply, a magnetic and powerful voice rang out, pleasant to the ears. Following the voice, a man as beautiful as an immortal walked in, a sandalwood fan gently swaying in his hand, exuding an indescribable otherworldly charm.
A smiling expression graced his face as he looked at everyone in the grand hall. His smile warmed everyone's hearts, and Mu Xing, who was beside Liu Liu, quickly ran towards the man and leaped into his arms.
"Uncle, you're here?"
Nangong Yue turned his body and caught Mu Xing's small frame. A gentle radiance appeared on his handsome face, and he nodded slightly. "Yes, I missed Mu Xing."
His self-assured demeanor, and the fact that he was Mu Xing's uncle, made everyone freeze for a moment, and then their expressions turned somewhat displeased.
Only Su Xinhe, looking at this incredibly handsome man, seemed somewhat lost in thought. She couldn't quite pinpoint what was wrong, but like everyone else, she was very curious about who this man, as beautiful as an immortal, was.
Mu Xing seemed to like him particularly, calling him "Uncle." His gaze swept towards Liu Liu beside him.
"Liu'er, who is he?"
"This is Nangong Yue, my friend. Please don't misunderstand,"
Liu Liu pursed her lips and smiled. The people in the grand hall breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at the man with exclamations of awe. How could a man be so beautiful? They all flocked around Nangong Yue, forgetting the important matter of Chu Feng's wedding, engrossed in admiring this handsome man.
Liu Liu watched their actions and couldn't help but feel amused and exasperated. She waved her hand, dismissing them to attend to their tasks.
"All of you, go and attend to your duties. Tomorrow is Chu Feng's wedding day. Make sure everything that needs to be prepared is in order, and don't miss anything."
"Yes,楼主," everyone replied and walked out, discussing amongst themselves. Su Xinhe, who was walking at the very back, glanced at Nangong Yue again. Qing Ming, walking beside her, asked curiously, "Xinhe, what's wrong?"
"Nothing," Su Xinhe shook her head and quickly followed the people in front. She couldn't explain what was happening to her. She pursed her lips and smiled at Qing Ming, "Let's go."
The grand hall fell silent. Besides Liu Liu and Mu Xing, only Chu Feng and Duanmu remained. Liu Liu smiled at Nangong Yue, "You truly live up to being the Pavilion Master of Cang Lang Pavilion. You found us in such a short time, and even broke through the formation."
"You're quite fast?"
Nangong Yue smiled without speaking. Fast? He had mobilized all the experts of Cang Lang Pavilion for the past few days to find out that they were on Xiaoyao Island.
He didn't expect Xiaoyao Island to be such a scenic little island. It seemed he had come to the right place. It seemed there was a celebration on the island, so perhaps he had arrived just in time.
However, since he could find their whereabouts, he believed that person would also arrive on the island soon. But what of it? No one could drive him away. He would not leave Liu'er's side. Nangong Yue smiled like a fox.
"Mother, don't send Uncle away. Mu Xing likes playing with Uncle," Little Mu Xing, standing beside them, saw Nangong Yue and his mother looking at each other. Fearing that his mother would drive Nangong Yue away, he immediately shook his mother's hand and pleaded.
