Perhaps because high heels were uncomfortable, Ya Fei pulled her delicate, jade-like feet out of them and casually rested them on the footrest of the desk.
Looking at those ten adorable toes, pink and translucent, Xiao Feng's lips curled into a slight smile as he gently blew a breath of air onto the soles of Ya Fei's feet.
"Ah!"
Startled, Ya Fei jumped up from her chair like a frightened little rabbit.
"Hahaha..."
Before Ya Fei could recover from the shock, a familiar laughter echoed from under the desk.
Under Ya Fei's exasperated gaze, Xiao Feng, dressed in a black outfit, emerged from beneath the desk.
"You're so annoying~ Don't you know that scaring people like that could really frighten someone to death?"
Ya Fei shot Xiao Feng a coquettish glare, then gently placed her slender hand on her belly, her face radiating maternal love. "It's fine if you scare me, but what if you scare our baby?"
"Baby?"
Xiao Feng was momentarily stunned, then his face lit up with excitement. "Fei Fei, are you pregnant? When did you find out? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
As he spoke, Xiao Feng walked over to Ya Fei, crouched down, and carefully touched her belly.
Seeing Xiao Feng's excitement, Ya Fei smiled softly. "I only felt unwell a couple of days ago and went to see the clan's physician. They said I'm about a month along."
"That's wonderful! I'm going to be a father again!"
"Again?"
Ya Fei's brows furrowed slightly, a look of confusion crossing her face.
Xiao Feng didn't elaborate further. Instead, he pulled out a small glass bottle from his storage ring. Inside the bottle was a transparent liquid, in which floated two emerald-green eyeballs—the Triple Jade Green Snake Flower Pupils that had been replaced from Xiao Yi Xian.
Since Ya Fei's cultivation talent was poor and her strength weak, she wasn't suitable for the energy-draining Rinnegan. The Triple Jade Green Snake Flower Pupils were a better fit for her.
Originally, Xiao Feng hadn't planned to transplant the eyes so soon, not out of stinginess, but because the weaker Ya Fei was, the easier it was for her to conceive his child. Now that she was pregnant, Xiao Feng no longer had such concerns and decided it was time to boost her cultivation.
With Xiao Feng's help, Ya Fei not only successfully transplanted the Triple Jade Green Snake Flower Pupils but also tamed several fifth-tier snake companions.
After taking care of business, Xiao Feng engaged in a deeper "exchange" with Ya Fei, leading her to sing a high-pitched rendition of "Chrysanthemum Terrace."
...
Yunlan Sect, Back Mountain
"Woo..."
A melodious flute sound echoed through the forest, carrying an inexplicable magic that made one feel drowsy.
Dressed in a black gown, Nalan Yanran was playing the Green Phoenix Flute with her eyes closed, appearing extremely focused.
Not far from her, a wooden table was set with tea and snacks, beside which lay a bamboo rocking chair. Yun Yun lounged comfortably on the chair, listening to the performance.
Since obtaining the Green Phoenix Flute, Nalan Yanran had not only learned to play it but also cultivated a mid-tier soundwave combat skill called "Dream Lullaby," which could lull listeners into a deep sleep, rendering them helpless.
However, Nalan Yanran was unaware that Yun Yun had arranged for her to learn this skill not to defeat Xiao Feng, but to help lull children to sleep in the future.
"Whoosh!!!"
As Nalan Yanran focused on her flute, a dazzling golden light descended from the sky, landing beside Yun Yun.
As the blinding light faded, a middle-aged man in a purple robe appeared before the two women—it was Xiao Feng, disguised as "Feng Xiao."
Seeing this, Nalan Yanran quickly bowed. "Disciple Yanran greets Master!"
Xiao Feng glanced at Nalan Yanran, his gaze lingering momentarily on her black silk-clad legs, then waved his hand. "No need for formalities."
"Ah Feng~"
Seeing Xiao Feng after more than half a month, Yun Yun couldn't help but smile, her eyes filled with affection.
As the saying goes, longing can only create mucus, but meeting can create foam.
If Nalan Yanran hadn't been present, Yun Yun might have sung "Foam" for Xiao Feng right then and there.
[Brother, the sheep is dead~]
Hearing Yun Yun's thoughts, Xiao Feng immediately scooped her up and turned to Nalan Yanran. "Yanran, your master and I have some private matters to discuss. We won't disturb your flute practice."
With that, Xiao Feng flew into the air with Yun Yun in his arms, heading toward her palace.
"Flying in the air?!"
Nalan Yanran's eyes widened in disbelief. "Master has reached the Dou Ancestor level!!!"
At this moment, Nalan Yanran was unaware that Yun Shan had also broken through to the Dou Ancestor level, making Xiao Feng the first Dou Ancestor powerhouse she had ever seen. Her shock was understandable.
While marveling at Xiao Feng's strength, Nalan Yanran couldn't help but recall the things Yun Yun had told her in private.
To help Nalan Yanran accept the idea of sharing a husband with her master, Yun Yun had often shared intimate details about Xiao Feng's prowess and stamina.
(ω)
Every time she thought of Yun Yun begging for mercy in front of Xiao Feng, Nalan Yanran felt a strange thrill, her cheeks flushing slightly.
Clearly, Yun Yun's words had subtly influenced Nalan Yanran, though she wasn't fully aware of it yet.
...
Several days later
Abyssal Chasm
"Hmm?"
While cultivating as usual amidst the terrifying yin winds, Xiao Feng suddenly felt a familiar summoning sensation and slowly opened his eyes.
"Bang!!!"
With a burst of white smoke, Xiao Feng's figure vanished from the spot.
In a flash, Xiao Feng found himself hovering above a valley.
"Original, it's up to you now."
A shadow clone, identical to Xiao Feng, summoned him using the Animal Path ability before dispelling itself.
As the shadow clone disappeared, its memories returned to Xiao Feng, instantly informing him of the current situation.
"So this is the Mulan Valley?"
Looking down at the heavily guarded valley with its numerous buildings, Xiao Feng's lips curled into a playful smile.
