A happy atmosphere filled Chu Palace as Ling Feng's figure was present amidst this family that Ling Zhen had formed.
Ling Zhen's mother was unceasingly holding her first grandchild, whereas Ji Yanran was still in the recovery stage because after giving birth to Ling Feng, the woman shortly fainted after giving the name to the baby.
In the room that Chu Xiulan had prepared, Ling Zhen was stroking Ji Yanran's hair and occasionally stroking his first wife's cheeks.
“Sister Ji, I didn't expect to have a child from you..” Ling Zhen smiled then kissed Ji Yanran's forehead gently.
As Ling Zhen was worrying about Ji Yanran's condition, the young man went to meet Chu Xiulan alone who had been waiting for him to be by the river, the place where he had been dropped by Chu Xiulan.
“What do you want to talk about, Xiu?” Ling Zhen looked at Chu Xiulan's anxious expression.
The woman seemed to be trying to calm herself down while looking at Ling Zhen who was walking over to her.
“Zhen Siege, I want to talk to you about something important.” Chu Xiulan explained Mother Ling Zhen's body condition right after Ling Zhen stood beside her.
Hearing the condition of his Mother's body, naturally Ling Zhen had already guessed the first time he saw Chu Xiulan's expression right after waking his Mother from Eternal Sleep.
“For that, I want to sacrifice my life for Mother.” Chu Xiulan looked at Ling Zhen so seriously. There is no sense of anxiety that just exists and there is only seriousness.
“So this is what you want to talk about?” Ling Zhen smiled faintly and touched Chu Xiulan's cheeks gently, “You are very devoted to my mother. As a husband I am very proud to have a wife like you. But I won't let you do that. This is your husband's order, okay?”
“Why? I don't mind Zhen-”
Ling Zhen kissed Chu Xiulan's lips and tightly hugged the body of his third wife. He slowly let go of his kiss while staring within the two eyeballs of Chu Xiulan.
“Xiu Ser, do you still not trust me? Look me in the eye, am I still childish in your eyes?” Ling Zhen could not believe Chu Xiulan still considered himself the same as he used to be.
“Ti-no, that's not what I mean Zhen Bridge!” Chu Xiulan did not want to hurt Ling Zhen's feelings. But this woman realized that if Ling Zhen was so young, she did not want to add to her husband's burden anymore.
“Depends on me. I don't want to lose you or my mom.” Ling Zhen smiled and stroked Chu Xiulan's cheeks affectionately, “Xiu Mater, the two of us can find a better way to heal my mother's body condition together. Don't bear it all alone, you make me feel pain when you think of you bearing this feeling alone.”
Chu Xiulan cried and hugged Ling Zhen's body, “Sorry, I'm sorry Zhen-gege. I promise I'll rely more on you..”.
“Content of Phoenix Blood? Zhen, uh, uh, I wouldn't forgive you if you lied to me. That Phoenix Blood Core you mean is your life energy isn't it?” Chu Xiulan looked at Ling Zhen sharply in need of an explanation.
“I did use my life energy. The covenant with the Death God Spirit Curse benefits me because as long as there is this curse, the life energy I will give my mother is mine. But I will be fine because if I can break this curse and find the other eleven women tied to the red thread with me, then I will live on.” Ling Zhen smiled to Chu Xiulan after explaining.
“Zhen Siege, the six of us are the common thread you're referring to right?” Chu Xiulan frowned then asked again, “What if you have a wife who is not part of the common thread?”
Ling Zhen closed in and was silent for quite a while before answering Chu Xiulan's question to him.
“The six of you are the common thread referred to as the Curse of the Spirit of the God of Death.” Ling Zhen showed a heart mark numbering eleven.
“Your second question should I answer it?” Ling Zhen shrugged his shoulders.
“No need. You enjoy this curse a lot, don't you?” Chu Xiulan held her forehead and let out a long sigh.
Ling Zhen cleared his throat softly and whispered fondly in Chu Xiulan's ear, “Xiu, now that Rou is waiting. Can we start it?”
“Yue Rou? Wait, start what?” Chu Xiulan gasped in shock. But she could guess the way her husband thought.
“Starting talk about the figure of the younger brother of Feng.” Chu Xiulan's face reddened after staring at Ling Zhen's smiling expression teasing himself.
“After we perform the ritual to cure the condition of the body of Mother, we will do other ritual activities. You better get ready because I haven't spent the night with you two.” in a long time Ling Zhen disappeared from Chu Xiulan's sight after saying so.
Chu Xiulan could not imagine how other rituals Ling Zhen meant. But he himself was also impatient to give the young man and his mother-in-law a baby.
As Chu Xiulan was closing his eyes and dissolving into his thoughts. He heard the chatter of the Demon Beast that was under his control.
The Demon Beast talked about the remnants of the black stream warriors in the Chu Empire and the lingering Qing Empire.
At that moment Chu Xiulan realized that black and white remained in this world. Even if one of them is destroyed, one day it will reappear one of them.
After that Chu Xiulan returned to Chu Palace to get ready to perform the healing ritual of Mother Ling Zhen's body condition.
