Chapter 357 Forming a Pact with Tai Lin
Chapter 357 Forming a Pact with Tai Lin
......
Qi Yue's belly is slowly getting bigger.
Mu Yunyun was worried and stayed with him for the past two days.
Fortunately, the cubs didn't cause any trouble in my belly and were much better behaved than the previous litter.
Qi Yue found her a nuisance. The cub had just been weaned and was at a mischievous age, and he was too heavy to take care of her.
But we can't kick them out.
If you kick her out, she'll make a huge fuss about dying.
Qi Yue didn't want to argue with her, so after thinking for a moment, she mentioned it.
"The medicine you made last time was quite good."
"medicine?"
"The day of delivery," he reminded her.
Mermaids must endure all kinds of suffering to cut open their abdomens to retrieve their offspring.
Mu Yunyun remembered.
"Don't worry, I've already prepared." She wanted to take out the pills from her bosom to show him, but when she touched the animal skin bag containing the pills, she suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Oops!"
"What's wrong?" Qi Yue asked, noticing her startled expression.
Mu Yunyun had a bad feeling.
It's been three days.
She and Tai Lin had made an appointment to visit him today to check on his injuries.
She glanced at the sky through the window.
It's already past midnight.
"I'll go get the pills, wait for me."
She threw back the covers and was about to leave.
Qi Yue ignored her: "She's always so impulsive."
Despite her scolding, she still made the little slave follow her.
The wet nurse, soothing the cub beside her, couldn't help but chuckle: "Adult matters are of paramount importance. The clan leader was so concerned that he lost his composure."
she said again.
"Lord Yinghua has been here for so long, and the clan leader only went to see him recently."
Qi Yue remained noncommittal.
"What's the point of comparing this?"
He disliked Ying Hua.
This person is scheming, which may not be a good thing for her.
During this period, the rabbit clan wove silkworm clothes, and the sea clan and the winged clan repeatedly made things difficult for them, but in the end they all failed. He didn't know what tricks they used, but he could guess a thing or two.
It's mostly just a trick like using one tiger to devour another.
However, the Snow Weasel clan, skilled in pottery, forging, and farming, had long been feared by the clans.
Having ambition is a good thing.
However, clans have a long history and value steady progress; being too reckless will inevitably make enemies.
The two have differing views.
He was too lazy to argue with him.
The wet nurse couldn't understand the meaning behind her words.
"I haven't seen that Tiger Clan lord come over these past two days."
Also weird.
Since Lord Yinghua came to the court, he and the Tiger Clan have become closer.
Qi Yue realized what was happening: "Little Fourteen is sick. Have someone send some Dragon Soul over there."
sick?
The wet nurse doesn't often leave the yard to care for the baby, so I never expected this to happen.
"No wonder, Lord Dixi is afraid of passing on the disease to the cubs."
"He just wanted to avoid suspicion."
The wet nurse couldn't understand.
However, the little slave was still sent.
Emperor Xi did not expect that people from Qiyue would come.
"This dragon soul is too precious. The cub is still too young to need these."
This dragon soul is a top-grade dragon soul.
Rarely seen on the market.
It cannot compare to the inferior dragon soul that people drink regularly.
How could Emperor Xi accept this?
The little slave smiled, revealing two dimples: "My lord, please don't refuse. My master is unwell and it's inconvenient for him to come. He just sent me to ask if the lady is feeling much better?"
"After taking the medicine, I feel much better after the gentle nourishment."
Autumn is windy, which makes people prone to catching colds. The cubs are very hardy and have been lively and energetic for a while now. It's kind of him to worry about them.
The young slave delivered the gifts and then took his leave.
However, when they arrived at the main courtyard, they found that the candles had suddenly gone out.
Out of curiosity, he pulled over a young slave.
"Is the clan leader resting, or has he left?"
The little slave nodded: "The chieftain said he wasn't feeling well and just rested, but he won't let anyone come close to serve him."
what?
......
A spiritual realm.
The warmed wine had long since gone cold.
Venison has been served three times already.
Tai Lin sat in the courtyard, poured himself a cup of wine, and felt a mix of emotions.
He didn't know why he had to wait so long.
Perhaps the progenitor was just being polite and didn't actually care about him.
He's overthinking it.
With his robes trailing on the ground, Tai Lin stood up, no longer intending to wait.
"Why are you serving alcohol?"
A clear voice sounded from behind.
Tai Lin suddenly looked up.
"Ancestor..."
Mu Yunyun walked over: "Sorry, I forgot the time and kept you waiting."
She smelled alcohol and was a little reproachful.
"How can you drink alcohol when you're not fully recovered?"
Seeing her sit down, Tai Lin poured her a cup and took a small sip.
"Is this peach blossom wine?"
The wine has a sweet taste when it goes down the throat and doesn't make you drunk; Mu Yunyun has always liked it.
"It's really good."
Tai Lin slowly sat down, still looking a little dazed.
He didn't expect her to actually come.
Does that mean that the progenitor really meant what he thought...?
"Thank you for your concern, Ancestor. I am much better now, so please rest assured."
He poured her a glass of wine himself, and then poured one for himself.
"This cup of wine is to thank our ancestor for saving my life."
"Let's skip the formalities, you should drink less."
Tai Lin felt a little uncomfortable.
'Since the Ancestor cares for him so much, he will definitely serve the Ancestor well later.'
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunyun nearly spat out her drink.
Tai Lin quickly patted her back.
"Ancestor, are you alright?"
"No...it's okay..."
Serve!
What service?!
What's that fox thinking?
Tai Lin took a handkerchief and wiped her face.
Mu Yunyun wanted to slip away as quickly as possible!
This is a bit too intimate.
He wasn't like this a few days ago.
Tai Lin was also a little embarrassed.
However, he felt a little more at ease.
'After all, they are all descendants of the progenitors; this little bit of physical intimacy shouldn't be a big deal.'
Mu Yunyun: "..."
No.
How does that constitute skin-to-skin contact?
Where is the intimacy between skin and skin?
Mu Yunyun dared not let him touch her anymore.
"Since you're feeling much better, I won't stay any longer."
However, just as she was about to get up, her hand was grabbed.
Tai Lin's fingers were fair and slender, like beautiful jade. As his hands clasped together, Mu Yunyun tensed up.
Especially when you meet his eyes.
Eyes like crimson glass.
"Was it because Tai Lin didn't serve us well? Why did the Ancestor leave?"
The ancient nine-tailed fox clan, born with an alluring nature.
His simple question softened Mu Yunyun's heart.
Isn't she too fierce?
bah bah bah!
When Mu Yunyun realized what was happening, her scalp tingled.
This fox...
Just now, I was probably, probably, perhaps, maybe, trying to seduce her?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Mu Yunyun quickly pulled her hand away from his.
"I have other important matters to attend to..."
As soon as she spoke, Mu Yunyun felt a chill on the back of her hand. She looked up in disbelief and saw him with tears in his eyes, which immediately reddened her own eyes.
The scene was incredibly shocking.
Mu Yunyun was so shocked that she forgot to speak.
It's not that she lacks self-control.
When faced with that face, her composure had long since vanished.
"Why are you crying?"
She was immediately at a loss and quickly wiped away his tears.
"Ancestor, is it because Tai Lin didn't serve you well?" he asked again.
"No, no, I just..."
“There must be something wrong with me that makes the ancestor despise me.”
"How could that be? Don't overthink it, I'm not leaving."
Don't cry!
Mu Yunyun rarely sees people cry.
They were either overjoyed at their long-awaited reunion, or they were exhausted from caring for their young.
There is no such thing.
Tears well up in my eyes without warning.
Even someone as delicate as Ying Ze wouldn't cry so easily.
wrong.
When Ying Ze cried, it was like the wailing of ghosts and howls of wolves.
Tai Lin wept, and I felt a pang of pity for him; he was so pitiful and moving.
Mu Yunyun felt her throat tighten, so she quickly swallowed the wine, not daring to look at him, feeling as if she were sitting on pins and needles.
"Try this venison, see if it suits your taste?"
Tai Lin picked up a piece of food for her with his chopsticks.
He behaved with composure, and seeing that she didn't leave, he resumed his dignified and elegant demeanor.
Mu Yunyun swallowed the food whole, unable to eat a proper meal.
But the other party kept pouring her alcohol.
She was torn between drinking and not drinking.
Hesitating for a moment, she finished two jugs of wine and became completely drunk.
"Ancestor?"
Tai Lin was somewhat surprised to see that she was drunk.
'Can the primordial spirit get drunk?'
He did not enter the spiritual realm with his primordial spirit. Once inside the spiritual realm, his avatar could replace him in the outside world, so that no one would notice.
It's possible he was drunk.
But why is even the progenitor drunk?
"I really can't drink anymore, I'm leaving now."
Mu Yunyun stood up in a daze.
"Wait a minute."
Tai Lin's voice rang out from behind.
Mu Yunyun could only turn back.
"how......."
Unexpectedly, a soft kiss landed on her lips.
With a "boom," Mu Yunyun's head exploded.
The kiss was awkward, immature, and tinged with desire, yet also tentative and cautious.
Tai Lin has always been self-disciplined and respectful of propriety.
But at that moment, a large fox tail suddenly appeared.
His mind was completely in turmoil.
A fleeting kiss.
Mu Yunyun, as if possessed, reached out and took his hairpin.
The phoenix feather crown fell to the ground.
Her long, black hair cascaded down, and her stunningly beautiful face was breathtaking.
Mu Yunyun was really drunk.
Before the Great Pact of Heaven and Earth descended, she was even in a daze.
Are all foxes skilled at repaying kindness by offering themselves in return?
[System notification: Congratulations, host, you have successfully conceived.]
[System notification: Congratulations, host, on breaking through to the eighth rank.]
[System notification: Congratulations, host, for unlocking a new achievement. Would you like to claim the reward automatically?]
The system notification sound was buzzing and beeping randomly.
Mu Yunyun hugged Tai Lin's waist, complaining that he was too noisy.
Tai Lin bit his lip hard beneath her.
Inside the nest, he lay on his back on the bed, his clothes half-open, revealing his alluring body.
Mu Yunyun bit his collarbone.
"You seduced me."
This sentence was uttered with a hint of gritted teeth and viciousness.
But all she got in return was a gasp from the corner of her mouth...
......
Mu Yunyun was awakened by the pain.
Headache.
My lower back and back hurt.
My body feels like it's about to fall apart.
She only remembered getting drunk, and then... and then...
She stood up suddenly.
The animal hide lay on the ground, her husband beside her held her waist, his body covered in bruises, a testament to the absurdity of the previous night...
Got it!
She actually slept with Lord Tailin!
From the yard all the way to the nest...
What did she do?!
Mu Yunyun felt a sense of absurdity, but more than that, she felt lingering fear.
She is not the progenitor!
She was just a lowly member of the snow weasel clan.
Lord Tailin is from the Taihao clan of Shenshan. The two are worlds apart. If he finds out that she lied to him, he'll kill her.
Mu Yunyun wanted to slip away.
But as soon as I moved, my waist was gripped even tighter.
She lowered her eyes and saw the contract totem branded on his arm, her eyes trembling.
As she traced the mark, she suddenly thought of Qiyue.
On Qi Yue's arm was a winding scar, a wound from where her flesh had been torn open by claws.
With that thought in mind, Mu Yunyun took a deep breath.
She will be honest and straightforward, and will not shirk responsibility.
Even if he blames her.
She should just accept it.
......
"My lord, you're awake?"
Taiheng quickly helped the person up.
He looked at his father's arm and felt a surge of joy.
"The Lord has formed a pact with the Ancestor!"
that is really good!
Tai Lin looked quite uncomfortable.
Now I finally understand what my ancestors meant by "loving to make a fuss".
He begged for mercy several times, but she only made things worse for him.
"My lord, shall we return to the sacred mountain now?"
The matter is settled.
Yuanzhou had nothing left to worry about.
Tai Lin nodded: "We're going back now. You can make the arrangements."
In order to retrieve the ancestral spirit, he must make a trip to the sacred mountain.
"Then I'll go and get ready."
Taiheng was overjoyed; he had long wanted to return to his ancestral home.
With his injuries fully healed and the ancestor backing him up, it was only natural that he would return to seek revenge.
If that little man knew that the progenitor was still alive, I wonder if he would be so shocked that his jaw would drop.
"Brother."
Hu Qing called out to him from the corridor.
Taiheng was taken aback and quickly stepped forward.
"How did you get here? What's this?" He looked at the person behind him.
Hu Qing bowed and felt as if the sky had fallen.
Early in the morning, the clan chief summoned him and asked him to pay his respects to the Taihao clan.
But he had already promised, in the name of the clan leader, not to form a contract.
This is bad!
Who knew that the clan leader would take a fancy to the Taihao clan!
Taiheng was also dumbfounded.
"What did you say? Pay respects to Lord Tai Lin?"
what's the situation?
He didn't dare make the decision himself, so he quickly ran to the adults' yard and told them about it.
"I don't know how things went wrong, but the clan leader suddenly wants to form a pact with you, sir. What should we do?"
Tai Lin frowned: "The Grand Clan Chief of the Mu Clan?"
He and she only met once.
Why does she have to be so persistent and only make people dislike her?
Taiheng was drenched in sweat.
"It was my fault. I made a promise to the clan leader, and I'm sure the clan leader misunderstood, which is why..."
"None of your business."
Tai Lin didn't want to pursue these trivial matters.
Once the matter is settled, there is no turning back.
Saying too much is useless.
"Return the gifts and tell the clan leader that I will be returning to the sacred mountain soon, so I won't stay any longer."
"Yes, my lord."
Taiheng dared not delay.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go there myself.
Mu Yunyun was stunned when she heard Taiheng's words.
"Say it again, what did your parents say?"
Taiheng said apologetically, "My master said that he will be returning to the sacred mountain soon, so he will not stay here any longer. Please do not take this matter of forming a contract to heart, Grandmother."
Mu Yunyun: "!!!!!"
again!
Everything was fine last night.
After that night, they turned their backs on me again!
"What else did he say? Nothing else?"
What about last night?
She never imagined that the other person was the one who didn't want to take responsibility!
Taiheng shook his head: "The master didn't leave any words."
Mu Yunyun: "..."
She stood up.
"Let's go, I'll go and ask him myself."
She simply couldn't understand how a perfectly normal person could change so suddenly.
sjar
