"I think the two of you should go back and bring the children over first," Luo Xuan said with a hint of helplessness after understanding the situation, looking at Zhou Wenjing and Liu Jiaqi.
Good heavens, both of them had also given birth to Li Xuan's children.
"Yes." Zhou Wenjing and Liu Jiaqi dared not retort to Luo Xuan's words. After all, Luo Xuan was Li Xuan's elder sister, essentially his guardian. With Luo Xuan speaking, Zhou Wenjing and Liu Jiaqi naturally chose to comply.
"Lian Qiao, go with them. Speaking of which, I'm an aunt now," Luo Xuan said, looking at Lian Qiao and giving instructions.
"Yes, Miss." Lian Qiao immediately nodded. She was already fond of Jian Xin, and now her young master also had descendants, two of them, no less. Lian Qiao was naturally overjoyed.
Soon, Zhou Wenjing and Liu Jiaqi left with Lian Qiao.
Meanwhile, at the back of Sheng Yue Sect's mountain, Li Xuan and Yue Fuyao sat side by side, gazing into the distance.
"Fuyao, have you ever had any regrets?" After a long silence, Li Xuan finally spoke.
Yue Fuyao pondered for a moment before smiling and nodding. "Actually, in these past few years, I've wondered if it was worth it when I was alone, and I did feel a pang of regret. But when I asked myself if I loved you, my heart told me that you have always been in my heart."
"So, I suppose I don't regret it."
Hearing this, Li Xuan embraced Yue Fuyao with a sense of guilt. They clung to each other for a long, long time.
"Brother Xuan, tell me how you met Sister Xuan and the others. And where have you been these past few years?" Yue Fuyao asked.
"Alright," Li Xuan nodded and began to recount his story.
"I never expected Uncle and Aunt to have entered the four-dimensional space. Does that mean Brother Xuan can only see them in the future? But overall, at least there's a lead. And Uncle and Aunt are alive, which is enough." After listening to Li Xuan's narrative, Yue Fuyao also felt happy for him.
Li Xuan smiled and nodded. "Yes, if Sister Xuan hadn't actively sought me out, I might have returned empty-handed this time. Alright, let's talk about that Zhu Li. Given your personality, you wouldn't have encountered Zhu Li out in the world. How did Zhu Li find you at Sheng Yue Sect?"
Yue Fuyao chuckled wryly. "That day, my senior sister and Brother Jian Chi went out to the Central Region, and Zhu Li happened to be with Domain Lord Xuan Ye. That's how we met, and then..."
"So that's how it happened. Well, it's in the past now," Li Xuan finally understood the whole story and said, "I've already spoken to Senior Mo. I intend to marry you when I return this time."
Yue Fuyao froze for a moment, her face flushing crimson.
"Brother Xuan, there's something I need to tell you." Yue Fuyao sat up straight, a look of helplessness on her face.
Li Xuan was taken aback. Was Yue Fuyao still angry with him?
"Fuyao, I know I was wrong these past few years, I..."
Yue Fuyao shot him a reproachful glance and shook her head slightly. "It's not about me; it's about you, Brother Xuan."
Li Xuan was stunned, looking at Yue Fuyao with some confusion.
Yue Fuyao took a deep breath and said, "Brother Xuan, you actually already have children."
Li Xuan froze. I have children?
Seeing Li Xuan's blank expression, Yue Fuyao now believed what Liu Jiaqi and Zhou Wenjing had said. Clearly, Li Xuan was unaware of that matter.
Yue Fuyao remained silent for a moment before speaking. "Back then, you, Liu Jiaqi, and Zhou Wenjing were drinking together, and they weren't drunk. Taking advantage of your drunken state, they slept with you..."
Li Xuan was dumbfounded. What was going on?
He had a faint memory of drinking with Liu Jiaqi and Zhou Wenjing before. And it was only now that he suddenly remembered he seemed to have had a very fantastical dream after drinking.
Could it be that it was all real!
Li Xuan looked at Yue Fuyao speechlessly and said with a wry smile, "Fuyao, I didn't know about this. And at that time, I had no physical reaction."
"I never said I blamed you," Yue Fuyao sighed with a hint of helplessness. "The reason I brought this up is to know how you plan to proceed, Brother Xuan. After all, they've both given birth to your children. Without a proper status, it would be a disgrace to them."
"Fuyao, what do you want me to do?" Li Xuan's mind flashed with an idea, but he still asked for Yue Fuyao's thoughts.
Yue Fuyao's face reddened. "If Brother Xuan intends to marry me, then marry them too. That way, they'll have a proper status. And it will be good for the children."
"This... them... sigh, alright." Li Xuan looked at Yue Fuyao with some struggle before slowly nodding in agreement.
"Damn it, Master, you clearly wanted this all along, didn't you!" The voice of the Heavenly Dao Brush suddenly echoed in Li Xuan's mind.
Without a second thought, Li Xuan blocked out all messages from the Prison Suppressing Artifact.
"Heartless..." the Heavenly Dao Brush cried out as if sensing something, and then its voice instantly vanished.
Half an hour later, Li Xuan and Yue Fuyao returned to the main hall.
In the hall, Liu Jiaqi and Zhou Wenjing had already returned with Lian Qiao. Both of them were holding a child in each hand. As Li Xuan and Yue Fuyao entered, they both looked towards Li Xuan.
Li Xuan immediately saw the children held by Liu Jiaqi and Zhou Wenjing. A sense of familial connection surged through him.
"These really are my cubs," Li Xuan walked up to the two children, knelt down, and opened his arms.
Zhou Wenjing and Liu Jiaqi exchanged glances and simultaneously released the children's hands.
The next moment, as if sensing something, the two children waddled on their little legs and rushed into Li Xuan's arms.
"It seems Brother Xuan knows everything. In that case, you family can reunite first," Luo Xuan said with a smile, and then left with Lian Qiao.
"Um, you guys chat. The children are hungry, I'll go get some food," Yue Caixuan said, pulling Jian Chi's arm, then picked up Jian Xin and walked out.
In the main hall, only Li Xuan, Yue Fuyao, Liu Jiaqi, Zhou Wenjing, and the two children remained.
Though holding the two children, Li Xuan could still feel the gazes of the three women.
After a moment of contemplation, Li Xuan looked at the three women with a wry smile and said, "A month from now, we'll get married."
