Chapter 23 Unspeakable

"Yuan Zhen, Yuan Zhen!"

Xu Yuanzhen suddenly opened his eyes and immediately saw a pair of bright, shining eyes. For the first time, a smile appeared on his usually gloomy expression.

He placed his arms on the bed and carefully sat up from the woman's lap.

"I actually fell asleep?"

He patted his forehead reproachfully, then gently pressed his ear against the woman's already protruding belly.

The smile on her face wouldn't fade; the girl's name was Wei Huan, and she was a rogue cultivator.

He has an ordinary appearance and is just a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator with ordinary five spiritual roots.

But Xu Yuanzhen simply loved her, and was captivated by her eyes that seemed to flow like autumn water. Because of this, he settled Wei Huan in this market without even telling anyone.

Even his own grandfather, who was the Grand Elder.

Because he knew very well that his grandfather would never agree to him marrying Wei Huan.

As a potential Foundation Establishment seed of the Xu family, I am destined to become a pillar of the Xu family in the future. Even my Daoist partner must be chosen from the Jiang family and the Dian family, with whom I have a good relationship.

If it weren't for meeting Wei Huan, it wouldn't have mattered, but now that he has met someone who moves his heart, he will never let go, not even if it's his own grandfather.

"You're the same as when we first met; back then I thought you were going to die."

Wei Huan suddenly spoke, his eyes seemingly lost in memories.

"Yes, that Foundation Establishment Pill almost caused me to suffer a qi deviation."

Xu Yuanzhen's face showed lingering fear. When the Foundation Establishment Pill in Yuan Lang's arms fell out, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he almost attacked.

He originally thought his grandfather would get him the Foundation Establishment Pill, but to his surprise, his grandfather said that the clan leader had used it to exchange for healing pills.

His anger at that moment was so intense that it seemed to burn through three realms of the divine, and he would not listen to any advice afterward.

He went to the Thousand Liang Mountains alone and fought fiercely with monsters. At that time, he thought that if he died, he would just die.

Finally, he unexpectedly encountered a pack of demon wolves, and he fought fiercely with them.

He was like a madman, not dodging or defending at all, but fighting the monsters by exchanging blows.

Finally, blood filled the valley, and he collapsed from exhaustion. At that moment, any random monster could have killed him.

He was contemplating suicide and felt that nothing mattered anymore, but was eventually saved by Wei Huan, who was gathering herbs in the mountains.

When he woke up, he saw with his own eyes the gentle and tender Wei Huan carefully treating him, and the nameless anger in his heart quietly dissipated.

Perhaps out of gratitude, and also out of resentment towards his grandfather who held a high position but didn't help him obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, he and Wei Huan gradually came together.

Now, he has kept it a secret from everyone, and Wei Huan is pregnant. Only now has his resentment and anger been dispelled by the huge surprise.

Are you planning to keep this a secret forever? To not let anyone know?

Wei Huan gently held Yuan Zhen's head and whispered in his ear.

"Hmm? Isn't this a good thing?"

Xu Yuanzhen gently embraced Wei Huan, but she pushed him away the next moment. Xu Yuanzhen did not expect his wife to suddenly unleash such great strength.

He was somewhat surprised to be pushed onto the bed, and then Wei Huan reached out and grabbed his collar.

Her gentle, watery eyes narrowed, staring intently at Xu Yuanzhen.

"Am I someone you can't stand? Although I'm just a rogue cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining, I'm just a nobody to your Foundation Establishment families."

But I am definitely not a woman you can humiliate at will, a promiscuous woman. If you think I covet your status, you can say so. I can raise this child myself.

But if that's the case, I hope you never appear in front of me again.

Xu Yuanzhen was stunned. He looked Wei Huan up and down with a look of disbelief, as if he were seeing her for the first time.

After a long while, seeing the tears welling up in Wei Huan's eyes, he gently straightened up.

"You are my wife, and that will never change. I just haven't figured out how to tell our Xu family members yet."

But you just scolded me, which made me determined. I will tell the family. Wait for me, I will be back soon.

Xu Yuanzhen made up his mind, stood up, and prepared to return to Wuliang Mountain. At this moment, Wei Huan hesitated.

"Yuan Zhen, there's no need to rush."

"No, I'm going back now!"

He left the market and immediately headed to Wuliang Mountain.

His heart pounded faster and faster along the way, like a rapid drumbeat.

As soon as he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he sensed something was wrong. There were many unfamiliar mortals at the mountain pass, and these mortals were serving more than a dozen spirit beasts.

"Blackhorn horses, mountain bulls, and racing sparrows! Have the Jiang and Dian families arrived?"

These spirit beasts were used by the Jiang and Dian families for daily transportation. Of course, bringing spirit beasts along was often just to maintain appearances.

Upon seeing these spirit beasts, he immediately guessed that the two families must have something important to discuss. Thinking of this, he hurriedly started walking towards the mountaintop.

Just as we were about to reach the summit, a figure suddenly appeared from the side.

"Third Brother, why are you back!"

Upon seeing the other person, Xu Yuanzhen's expression grew even more sinister.

"It's Yuan Lang! You've been overseeing Qinglong Mountain for four years now. Not bad, you've also broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining. Your cultivation speed is quite fast!"

The person who spoke was Xu Yuanlang. Upon seeing him, he was reminded of the Foundation Establishment Pill from back then.

Seeing the other person now, he was not only impressed by their rapid cultivation speed, but also felt a little embarrassed.

He had actually held a grudge against Xu Yuanlang for not giving him the Foundation Establishment Pill back then, and even though no one knew it, he still felt sorry for him.

"Hey, the family's support. By the way, Third Brother, you'd better not go up to the top of the mountain. The young members of the Jiang and Dian families are up there."

The clan leader and the Grand Elder want to matchmake a few couples.

"You weren't being watched, kid!"

"I'm only in my early twenties, no matter how many matchmakers try to pair me up, they won't end up with me."

Besides, I'm just a cultivator with five spiritual roots. You're different, Third Brother. I think the First Elder intends to match you with the Second Daughter of the Dian Family Head.

However, that female cultivator named Dian Xinxiu is incredibly beautiful; it wouldn't be bad if Third Brother liked her.

Xu Yuanlang casually told him about the situation inside, but Xu Yuanzhen didn't listen to a single word.

"Yuan Lang, once this matter is settled, I will apologize to you."

apologize?

Xu Yuanlang scratched his head. His third brother hadn't done anything to wrong him, so why was he making an apology?

Before he could figure it out, Xu Yuanzhen had already reached the top of the mountain in two quick steps.

He watched the other person's back and, for some reason, suddenly had a bad feeling.

"We're all family, what could be wrong with that!"
