Chapter 478: I'll Leave It to You, Husband
"Also, what do you mean by not wanting to leave the two little ones? Do you want to take them there? That won't do. It's too dangerous. If you don't explain clearly, don't blame me for uprooting everything."
Xuan Yi directly grabbed Xiao Jietian's weak point, her eyes flashing with dangerous light.
Xiao Jietian felt her grip and couldn't help but gasp, a shiver running through him. "Calm down, calm down. I'll tell you."
After listening to Xiao Jietian's explanation, Xuan Yi was instantly dumbfounded. The hand gripping his weak spot unconsciously loosened.
It took her a full minute to regain her composure.
"So you're saying you're constantly carrying around a small world?"
"That's right."
"So when you said you were homeless, you were lying to me?"
"No, no. At that time, we really were kicked out and truly homeless for a while. It was quite pitiful."
Xuan Yi rolled her eyes at him. "Stop acting. You're not convincing at all. But since your attitude in admitting fault is good, I'll give you a massage."
She placed her hands on Xiao Jietian's stiff shoulders and gently kneaded up and down. His entire back muscles gradually relaxed.
"Later, you'll come with me into Eternal Heaven World. That will be your home from now on."
Hearing Xiao Jietian's words, Xuan Yi's hands paused slightly. Home. This word felt so unfamiliar. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she last heard it, or even dared to dream of having one again.
She looked up at him, her eyes filled with emotion and glistening with tears.
"Don't stop. Keep massaging," Xiao Jietian stroked her head, his fingertips gently running through her soft hair. "But it feels like something's missing."
"I must owe you from a past life," Xuan Yi muttered. "The massage is pretty much done. How about I wash your hair?"
"Sure. A full-service hair wash and massage—I love it."
Speaking of full service, Xiao Jietian suddenly remembered his little dragon. When she came out of seclusion, she would also be in her mature phase.
Xuan Yi was washing Xiao Jietian's hair when she noticed him looking distracted. She leaned close, their noses almost touching, her eyes glinting dangerously.
"You're not thinking about other women, are you?"
"No, nothing of the sort. Your hair-washing technique is just too amazing. It feels so comfortable that I lost myself for a moment," Xiao Jietian said, gently touching her face before lying back comfortably to enjoy the service.
The next day, Xiao Jietian and the three others stood in Xuan Yi's room.
"Woohoo! We're going home!" The two little girls cheered happily. They had been away from home for so long and missed their mothers a little.
Xuan Yi looked at them with a smile. "You two really tricked me into quite a spin."
"Oh, we would never trick Mother Xuan Yi. We just wanted to let you join our Xiao Family's big family and experience its beauty," Xiao Meng said playfully, her eyes darting around as she opened her arms for a hug.
"I won't forgive you unless you each give me a kiss," Xuan Yi said with a smile, picking up the two little girls.
The two girls, one on each side, gave her two very serious kisses, making crisp "mwah mwah" sounds.
Xiao Meng hugged her neck, pressing her soft little face against Xuan Yi's. "Mother Xuan Yi, don't be nervous. Our mothers are all very easy to get along with."
"Oh? How do you know I'm nervous?"
"Hehe, Mother Xuan Yi's hands and body aren't as soft as before. They're a little stiff," Xiao Meng said with a giggle, intimately clinging to her.
Xuan Yi was slightly startled, then chuckled and hugged the two little girls even tighter. "You little devil. You even noticed that."
Xiao Ling also pressed against Xuan Yi's neck, silently comforting her.
Xiao Jietian gently patted Xuan Yi's back. "Don't be nervous. I'm here."
Feeling their warmth and Xiao Jietian's slightly firm words, Xuan Yi's nervous heart instantly relaxed.
"Then I'll leave it to you, husband," Xuan Yi said to Xiao Jietian with a mischievous smile.
"Eww, that's so mushy. I'm getting goosebumps. How embarrassing…" Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng exaggeratedly rubbed their little arms.
"How dare you tease me? Watch me teach you a lesson!" Xuan Yi playfully attacked the ticklish spots on the two little girls' necks, working both sides at once.
The two girls giggled like lively little sparrows, diving into Xuan Yi's arms and playing around.
Xiao Jietian looked at Xuan Yi, who was smiling like a blooming flower, and his two lively, adorable daughters. A warm feeling filled his heart.
When the time was right, Xiao Jietian interrupted them. "Alright, alright. We should get going."
At the mention of business, the three quieted down. Xuan Yi took a small step back and leaned against Xiao Jietian. "Then let's go. What if the other sisters get impatient later?"
"Just relax your mind and don't resist," Xiao Jietian said softly, wrapping his arm around her waist.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Xiao Jietian waved his hand. The scene before them instantly transformed. In the blink of an eye, the four of them appeared beside Furong Lake in Eternal Heaven Palace.
In the large pavilion at the center of the lake, Medusa and the others were sitting and chatting with laughter.
When Xiao Jietian and the three appeared, Yun Yun and the rest also noticed them.
"Is this our new sister?"
"Her appearance is stunning, and her figure is excellent. But her temperament is truly captivating. Even I, a woman, feel a little fond of her," Ya Fei said with a low chuckle, looking at Xuan Yi in the distance.
As soon as Xuan Yi appeared, she was captivated by the lake in front of her, which was covered with various kinds of lotus flowers.
The wind blew, causing the lotus leaves to ripple and rustle, while the lotus flowers nodded slightly. Their posture was resilient and proud, carrying a faint, almost imperceptible distant fragrance.
"It's actually… so beautiful," Xuan Yi murmured. She realized these lotuses and water lilies were no ordinary plants. "Hmm? Are these all medicinal herbs? And they complement each other perfectly."
"Yes, they were all carefully cultivated by them. These lotus flowers have the effect of calming the mind. Those who see them feel joy, and those who approach them feel at peace."
"And we helped too!" The two little girls quickly raised their hands, claiming credit at the same time.
"No wonder these lotus flowers are so vibrant and lively. So it's thanks to you two," Xuan Yi praised sincerely, her gaze filled with admiration.
The two little girls, delighted by the praise, nodded like pecking chicks, their cheeks flushed with excitement. "Hehe."
"Mother Xuan Yi, Mother and the others are in the center of the lake. Let's go over quickly," the two girls urged eagerly.
"Okay." Xuan Yi turned to look at Xiao Jietian. Seeing him nod gently, she carried the two little girls and walked toward the pavilion.
Xiao Jietian followed slowly behind Xuan Yi. Although he knew Medusa and the others would not do anything hostile or bully her, he still wanted to stay close and give her a sense of security.
Upon entering the pavilion, the two little girls jumped out of Xuan Yi's arms and into the arms of their respective birth mothers, constantly acting spoiled.
Xuan Yi already knew who was who. She greeted each of them with a smile in her large eyes, graceful and generous.
Medusa and the others noticed that Xuan Yi was still a little nervous and all smiled gently. This kind of nervousness had nothing to do with cultivation or state of mind. When meeting the man's family, one's heart would unconsciously feel a bit anxious. They had been the same back then.
Little Fairy Doctor gently pulled Xuan Yi over with a soft expression and sat her down on a stone stool.
Xuan Yi felt their kindness and acceptance, and her heart instantly relaxed.
Everyone present was a cultivator and an intelligent, understanding woman. They quickly started a pleasant conversation, and the atmosphere became harmonious.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Since they were all favored by Xiao Jietian, they were naturally the same kind of people.
Xiao Jietian leaned against a pillar, revealing a relieved smile. He quietly watched the group of women in the pavilion—each with a different charm, yet all equally dazzling.
They chatted and laughed, the atmosphere warm and genuine. Their faces showed real smiles without any pretense. Xiao Jietian couldn't help but sigh. This was the true reflection of happiness and fulfillment.
He did not step forward to disturb their initial harmony.
A moment later, Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Jietian, who had been silently standing by, and floated the nearly one-year-old Xiao Ze over to him.
Xiao Jietian reached out and caught his son. He gently poked the little boy's cheek with his finger.
He understood what Little Fairy Doctor meant and turned to look at Xuan Yi. Their eyes met, and Xuan Yi nodded gently.
Seeing this, Xiao Jietian held Xiao Ze, teasing him while walking out of the pavilion.
The two little girls chose to stay behind as a conciliatory presence.
After leaving the pavilion, the faint laughter coming from behind made the corners of Xiao Jietian's mouth curve upward slightly.
He carried Xiao Ze and walked out of Eternal Heaven Palace, preparing to take his son for a stroll. After all, he hadn't taken the little one out to play much since he was born.
