Volume 3, Chapter 183 – Two Girls Can Have Children Too?

Chi Xiyan didn’t notice the abnormality in her shadow. She continued holding the old woman’s hand, responding perfunctorily, “Mother, since I’ve already promised to take good care of Shuangshuang, I won’t go back on my word.”

“Please don’t worry.”

“That’s good… that’s good…” The old woman held Chi Xiyan’s hand, speaking earnestly, “Daughter, son-in-law! Although you both won’t say it, I know my own physical condition. I’m already old and won’t live much longer.”

“Now… my last wish in this world is to see you bow in marriage and have children.”

“Have children?” The corner of Chi Xiyan’s eye twitched slightly. “But Mother, Shuangshuang and I are both girls.”

“I know that, of course.” The old woman still held Chi Xiyan’s hand. “I’ve heard people say that you sword cultivators have that special Pure Yang qi, right? Girls can also make girls pregnant with children.”

“So, son-in-law, can you please get Shuangshuang pregnant with a child!”

“Huh?” Chi Xiyan felt the expression on her face was about to crack. Her mind was now full of question marks.

Girls could make girls pregnant? How did she not know about this?

Earlier, when Chi Xiyan had heard from the old woman about girls getting married, she already found it absurd.

But she never expected there could be something even more absurd.

Two girls could conceive a child? Upon hearing this, it almost made Chi Xiyan’s brain freeze.

“Mother… what are you suddenly saying to Sister Chi?!” The pure, black-haired girl beside them suddenly blushed. “Isn’t it too early to talk about this!”

“Not early! Not at all!” The old woman shook her head repeatedly. “Son-in-law, you must promise me to have a child with Shuangshuang soon!”

Chi Xiyan felt her brain buzzing.

No, what was all this about! Why should she agree to such an absurd thing?

“Sister Chi…” Lu Zhuxin quietly tugged at Chi Xiyan’s sleeve.

“…”

Chi Xiyan raised her hand to support her forehead. She opened her mouth with difficulty, “I…”

How strange! How embarrassing!

Girls and girls having children together! No matter how you looked at it, it defied common sense, right?!

This kind of thing could only be done by demons from the Demon Territory, right?!

Chi Xiyan really wanted to refute it.

But when she saw the pitiful Yu Lizhi and the old woman’s pleading face, Chi Xiyan couldn’t bring herself to say it.

Forget it… forget it…

She had already agreed to treat Yu Lizhi as her wife. Agreeing now to have a child wasn’t anything she couldn’t accept.

It was all just acting anyway, it didn’t count for real.

Right now, she was just putting on an act before an elderly person whose life was nearing its end.

Chi Xiyan convinced herself. She took a deep breath.

“Alright… Mother, I… I’ll have a child with Shuangshuang soon…”

She had successfully said it again. After accepting this setting, it didn’t seem as difficult as she had imagined…

Chi Xiyan discovered that her acceptance level for this kind of bizarre thing seemed to be getting higher and higher.

Afterward, Chi Xiyan took Lu Zhuxin’s hand and, with a rigidly stiff expression, spoke incredibly tender words.

“Shuangshuang, let’s work hard together… so Mother can hold her granddaughter soon… alright?”

What a deeply touching, warm scene…

Chi Xiyan didn’t even know what kind of mood she was in when saying these words.

“Mm… I’ll work hard too.” The pure, black-haired girl shyly turned her head away.

At this moment, Lu Zhuxin saw that the ripples coming from the shadow behind Chi Xiyan had become even more intense than before.

Clouds in the sky obscured the sunlight.

The small Lin Family Manor was shrouded in the shadow cast by the clouds.

When sunlight was blocked by clouds, the shadows people cast on the ground would also become lighter and fainter.

Chi Xiyan couldn’t see the shadow behind her, but Lu Zhuxin, standing beside Chi Xiyan, could see it very clearly.

Ye Xiaoqing’s secret technique could completely hide herself within shadows, allowing her to lurk and track without being easily discovered.

Moreover, Ye Xiaoqing’s cultivation far surpassed Chi Xiyan’s, so it was difficult for Chi Xiyan to detect Ye Xiaoqing lurking in her own shadow.

As for those constantly rising ripples…

That girl… wasn’t she trying to hold back laughter?

Did the deep confession between the two girls amuse you that much?

And you’re a professional assassin! Can’t you control your emotions a little bit?

Like this, anyone who turned around would be able to see there was a problem with the shadow on the ground!

Lu Zhuxin was almost amused by this unreliable little assassin.

However, this was actually a good opportunity to advance the plot.

Ye Xiaoqing was an assassin from Sin Moon Tower. Her target was Yu Lizhi.

To avoid unnecessary trouble and ensure the mission’s success rate, she would definitely choose to strike when Yu Lizhi was alone.

But this way, it wouldn’t serve Lu Zhuxin’s purpose.

The exit of an important character must have a driving effect on the plot.

Right now, the strongest person in the manor, the Fifth Realm martial artist Lin Xiu, wasn’t here. The other cultivators were all gathered at the manor’s perimeter, constantly guarding against external invasion. No one knew that the assassin had already infiltrated the manor and was lurking right beside Chi Xiyan.

Ye Xiaoqing didn’t want to strike in front of Chi Xiyan, probably because she was concerned about Chi Xiyan’s identity.

Otherwise, would a First Stage Sixth Realm assassin care about a Fourth Realm small sword cultivator?

However, it didn’t matter.

If Ye Xiaoqing didn’t want to strike, Lu Zhuxin would make her have to strike.

Moreover, Lin Xiu wasn’t far from here, and a Fifth Realm martial artist wasn’t slow.

With Chi Xiyan’s resources, holding out until Lin Xiu arrived against a Sixth Realm assassin wasn’t a difficult task.

And in this entire plan, what Lu Zhuxin needed to do wasn’t difficult.

“Sister Chi…” Lu Zhuxin suddenly grabbed Chi Xiyan’s sleeve. Terror appeared in her eyes as she pointed behind Chi Xiyan and said, “Th-th-th… there’s a ghost!”

“Ghost?!” Chi Xiyan whirled around abruptly. She immediately saw that shadow on the ground, constantly rippling with waves.

“My shadow?!” Chi Xiyan’s pupils contracted slightly. After brief consideration, she immediately understood one thing.

She had made a mistake.

“The assassin is hiding in my shadow… she used me to bypass the manor’s maze formation, evading Lin Xiu’s inspection…”

This assassin might not have been able to pass through the maze formation… But it was Chi Xiyan herself who brought them here!

Even the bloody aura Chi Xiyan had sensed on the assassin was something the assassin had deliberately exposed to Chi Xiyan, precisely to make Chi Xiyan panic and reveal her own weaknesses.

“I was careless…” Chi Xiyan regretted in her heart.

However, her hand movements weren’t slow at all. She quickly pulled out several talismans.

At the same time, Chi Xiyan urgently said to Lu Zhuxin, “Zhizhi! Quickly take your mother and leave here. I’ll hold her off!”

As she spoke, the shadow on the ground contracted, then suddenly expanded.

Expanding together with it was a string of laughter.

“I’ve been discovered!”

“Hahaha!”

“Haha! I was holding it in so hard!”

“What did I just see?!”

“The eldest young lady of Beihe Commandery’s Chi family actually married a woman and wants to have children with her?”

“I’m dying of laughter!”

“Are all you aristocratic family disciples’ hobbies this strange?”

Chi Xiyan’s face alternated between pale and flushed.

She had been seen!

Seen from beginning to end!

She thought there couldn’t possibly be anyone else here!
