Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Descending to the Mortal World

Su Muyao sensed Xie Guixue’s cautious movements and spoke, "I’m not that fragile, you can hold me tightly."

Now, he’s completely different from his darkened self.

But Su Muyao loves teasing his innocent self.

If he were darkened, she wouldn’t dare to provoke him even a little.

"Okay."

With that, Xie Guixue gently embraced her, then slowly exerted force.

Even though he applied pressure, he didn’t dare to use too much force, afraid of hurting her.

Su Muyao gazed at his cold and perfect immortal-like appearance, feeling she couldn’t have any desecrating thoughts.

Just purely wanting to hold him, comfort him a bit, not wanting him to overthink.

Also not wanting him to be upset because of everyone’s struggle for favor.

Just by holding him like this, she could smell the refreshing and pleasant icy fragrance on him.

It’s very crisp, as if it can cleanse one’s soul, making the heart calm and pure.

Su Muyao’s body relaxed involuntarily, just leaning against his chest like that.

Smelling his scent, listening to his heartbeat, it all felt very comfortable.

Xie Guixue dared not move, fearing he might make her uncomfortable.

Su Muyao sensed something, looked up at him, seriously said, "Gui Xue, coming back with me, staying with everyone in the same courtyard, is it very hard for you?"

"Living in your separate courtyard Ice Palace, having someone personally care for you, not needing to do anything, is it..."

Xie Guixue lowered his head, his lips directly blocked Su Muyao’s lips.

Su Muyao was stunned, her eyes suddenly widened, her lashes rapidly trembling.

Xie Guixue’s face turned even redder, hurriedly stood up and turned around, "I... I just got anxious, and... and did this uncontrollably."

"You can blame me."

"I just wanted to say, I don’t find it hard, that life before is not what I wanted, by Wife’s side my heart feels alive, experiencing joy and delight."

Xie Guixue placed his fingers gently on his heart.

At this moment, his heartbeat was fast, as if it was going to leap out of his chest.

As Xie Guixue slowly spoke these words, he didn’t want Wife to misunderstand.

He didn’t want to add any burdens on her because of his existence.

If a burden was added, it would be all his fault.

Su Muyao’s heart stirred, she stood on tiptoe, hugged his neck, gently kissed his cheek.

"I like that you tell me these things."

Only when Xie Guixue speaks out would she know his inner thoughts.

When he’s silent, he’s like an immortal with a pure snow soul and ice heart; when he speaks, he seems like an immortal fallen into the mundane.

Touched by the worldly atmosphere, she dares to approach, otherwise, it feels like a violation.

Su Muyao kissed once and then stepped back, unaware that this gesture seemed to encourage Xie Guixue.

His arms hugging her tightened a bit, and then he lowered his head.

His refreshing aura gently enveloped her, permeating her every limb and bone.

The cold brows and eyes carried traces of melting ice and snow.

Tender and lightly tangled.

Su Muyao felt his kiss for the first time when he was sober and not darkened.

Carrying an icy snow-like aura.

So refreshing and gentle, yet captivating and alluring, making her body and mind irresistibly immersed.

Her body softened like water.

A bit unsteady.

Xie Guixue’s arm supported her waist, giving her strength.

The breeze blew by, seeming to carry a subtle floral fragrance, refreshing the heart.

It was quite a while before Xie Guixue released Su Muyao.

At this moment, Su Muyao’s dewy eyes were intoxicated, containing a pool of spring water, her ice-like skin and jade-like bones tinged with blush, her beauty exceptionally pure and alluring.

Those eyes were full of stars, dazzlingly captivating.

As if silently speaking something, longing for something.

Xie Guixue, holding her, sat down beside her, letting her calm her breath in his embrace.

While lightly covering her eyes with his hand.

Su Muyao was slightly puzzled, "What’s wrong?"

In Xie Guixue’s tender voice was a hint of hoarseness, "I’m afraid the look in my eyes might lose control and frighten you."

At present, how beautiful her eyes were, she herself might not even know.

He could feel the body’s excitement, the corners of his eyes were warm.

Emotions surged.

The emotions in his eyes would reveal his innermost thoughts, frightening her.

Su Muyao, thinking of his physical condition, said, "Oh, then you can’t lose control, you need to focus on nurturing your body."

"Besides, you’re so good, how could I be frightened."

"It’s okay, I won’t be scared."

Xie Guixue’s expression was helpless yet indulgent, holding her, striving to suppress the surging warmth.

He thought, the reason Wife initially accepted him might be because of his usual appearance.

But when moved, he was different from usual.

He too couldn’t maintain rationality.

How could such matters be shared with her?

After a while, Xie Guixue calmed his emotions, let go of his hand, then reached out to tidy up her hair.

At this moment, Su Muyao had also calmed her breath.

They were here in the valley, Wen Nanxi and the others were up around hunting, it’s unknown how much prey they caught.

They should hurry to gather more medicinal herbs.

...

On this day, everyone worked together, caught quite a few prey, and collected many herbs.

But when they returned home, Shen Ci’an wasn’t awake yet.

Mei Qingchen was earnestly chopping wood, working hard.

After returning home, Wen Nanxi and the others automatically started working.

Beasts needed to be processed, they couldn’t finish these at once, they had to be kept in the ice cellar for freezing.

Xiao Jihan then began to help process the herbs.

Previously, the task of drying herbs was also done by him.

Now, doing these things has become very familiar and effortless.

...

A few days later, after breakfast, Su Muyao was taken by Wen Nanxi to Yunxiao City, Hua Linye and the others all followed along.

Shen Ci’an also went along.

He wanted to see what Wife intended to do.

Also, as for opening a store, very few she-beasts are willing to do these arduous tasks.

Upon arriving at the two shops, Su Muyao noticed the shop’s doors seemed a bit different.

Hua Linye also remembered seeing the shop last time was different, he said, "The shop’s door entrance seems to have been renovated, it feels like the stones by the roadside have been rearranged."

Wen Nanxi also noticed something different along the way, saying, "It must be the entire street’s stone slabs have been renovated."

The owner of the shop next door happened to come out and said with a smile, "Little brother, you’re right, a few days ago the Young City Lord arranged for people to renovate this street, the stones are all newly fixed, it looks much cleaner and tidier."

"Previously, some slabs on the ground had cracks, stepping on them during rainy days, you might splash water."

Mentioning the Young City Lord, this person couldn’t help but chatter, "Ah, our Young City Lord is so good, always considering us ordinary beastmen, I really hope the Young City Lord’s health quickly recovers."

"With the Young City Lord doing well, we can peacefully do some small business, without fear of war, without fear of being bullied."
