Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law-Chapter 426: Do You Really Want Me to Give You a Child?

Chapter 426: Chapter 426: Do You Really Want Me to Give You a Child?

The removal of disguise made Xiao Yunxi uneasily twist her body, but as she was closely pressed against Chen Mo, her actions seemed to be teasing him.

Chen Mo held her waist, making her pelvis dip slightly, with her hands resting on the wall, her hips slightly raised. Her beautiful legs enveloped in silk stockings were fully exposed to Chen Mo’s eyes.

Chen Mo’s hand moved up her waist, wanting to measure the breadth of her chest, and said, "Why did you ask him to call me godfather, Your Majesty?"

"I’ve already told you, don’t call me ’Your Majesty.’ I’ve divorced." Xiao Yunxi said with a slight hint of annoyance.

"It’s precisely because of the divorce that we should continue these forms of address; otherwise, it would lose much of its fun."

"You are so infuriating."

"To die beneath the peony blossoms, even as a ghost, would be delightful. But Your Majesty hasn’t answered my question yet?"

"Isn’t it because you want Zheng’Er to be close to you and not resent you?" Seeing no way to change the situation, Xiao Yunxi could only resign herself and answer Chen Mo’s question.

Xiao Yunxi had a lot of careful considerations.

She felt that her situation with Chen Mo was already settled.

So, Zheng’Er’s matters must be arranged properly.

After all, Zheng’Er was still the son of Prince Huai. If she did not teach him well from a young age and Zheng’Er resented Chen Mo, knowing Chen Mo’s nature, Zheng’Er’s future would not turn out well.

Ultimately, she had Zheng’Er recognize Chen Mo as his godfather merely to ensure his well-being and to persuade Chen Mo not to trouble Zheng’Er.

Chen Mo knew her mind well, "You think me too narrow-minded. Do you truly believe I cannot tolerate a child?"

Fortunately, Zhang River wasn’t there, or he would surely have something to say.

Xiao Yunxi pressed her lips together, avoiding directly answering Chen Mo’s question. Instead, she said, "How about letting Zheng’Er take your surname?"

"Forget it." Chen Mo tore apart her stockings.

The black stockings formed a striking visual contrast with the pristine skin of her thighs.

In that moment, Chen Mo saw his homeland.

Xiao Yunxi pouted slightly. Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with Chen Mo’s answer, she quickly said, "Then can I have him change his surname to Xiao?"

"That’s fine." Chen Mo returned to his homeland, his voice somewhat melancholic.

"You..." Xiao Yunxi, infuriated, smacked Chen Mo, as earlier he almost made her hit the wall with her nose, without any forewarning.

Seeing him still act as he pleased, she sighed helplessly, "You said you have something to tell me, but you’re just here to bully me."

"This time, it’s really something important." Chen Mo said, "Xiao Quan is here, and Father-in-law agreed to our marriage but set forth a condition."

Chen Mo told Xiao Yunxi about Xiao Quan’s condition in detail.

But when she heard about having a child with Chen Mo, Xiao Yunxi fell silent.

If she indeed had a child with Chen Mo, wouldn’t Zheng’Er be in even more danger?

However, she also understood the intention behind the family’s condition; if there were no child, she might easily be cast aside by Chen Mo.

So, the child was necessary.

"Why is Your Majesty silent?"

Chen Mo turned Xiao Yunxi’s face, which was facing away from him, kissed her red lips, and asked.

"Do you really want me to bear a child for you?" Xiao Yunxi asked seriously, her gaze somewhat blurred.

Chen Mo thought for a moment and nodded.

After all, with a child, the Xiao Family would undoubtedly support him wholeheartedly.

"Then can you promise me one thing?" Xiao Yunxi bit her lip, speaking tentatively.

"As long as it’s not too much, I can promise you." Naturally, Chen Mo wouldn’t agree to any request.

"If I bear you a child, you... let Zheng’Er go." Xiao Yunxi said.

Chen Mo paused and then laughed, "Are you willing to let him go?"

"Unwilling, but I’m more worried about his safety."

"I have already told you, I am not so narrow-minded."

"Promise me." Xiao Yunxi no longer referred to herself in the third person, clearly not interested in Chen Mo’s previous assurances.

"Alright." Chen Mo agreed.

"Today, I will indulge you." Seeing Chen Mo agree, Xiao Yunxi sighed in relief and began to cooperate proactively.

...

Longyou.

With Duan Guo being killed by Yue Ruyan, the main forces of the Four Western Rong Countries suffered a considerable loss, and later with Yue Ruyan reaching the Upper Three Grades and Prince Huai’s reinforcements arriving, the Four Kingdom’s army, which had initially been advancing triumphantly, began a series of defeats.

The onset of winter further exacerbated the desperate situation of the Four Western Rong Countries.

By the end of December.

Domestically within each of the Four Western Rong Countries, there was also increasing pressure.

The Seven Western Rong Countries and Jin Xia were not comparable; they were only small countries, and even when combined, they had less than twenty million people, with small territories and a scarcity of resources. Precisely because of this, the Grand Ancestor Emperor did not choose to conquer them when they chose to become a vassal of the Great Song.

Because of this as well, when unable to gain anything at the front lines and suffering further losses, the domestic situation among the Four Western Rong Countries became unable to bear such attrition, prompting calls for troop withdrawal.

The Yuezhi Clan and King Chong were not much better off.

War requires support in finances and supplies.

The war had been going on for over half a year, and both the Yuezhi and King Chong had sustained significant consumption.

Seeing the Four Western Rong Countries withdrawing their troops, they also chose to conclude matters favorably.

By the end of December, representatives from the Yuezhi Clan, King Chong, and Prince Huai all negotiated peace talks with the Four Western Rong Countries.

...

"Phew, it’s getting late, I should be leaving."

In Xiao Yunxi’s room, Chen Mo exhaled a long breath, his face full of satisfaction.

Xiao Yunxi, seeing Chen Mo about to leave his homeland again, quickly wrapped her arms around his waist and clung to him, "Don’t rush to leave, stay with me a little longer."

Her brows furrowed tightly, her long hair tousled, her cheeks flushed with layers of red and faint dew-like sweat, refusing to let Chen Mo leave the tender embrace.

"Who would have thought that even Your Majesty could be so indulgent?" Chen Mo teased, stroking Xiao Yunxi’s face, knowing that she was truly conquered now.

Her body was without any extra weight, gracefully proportioned, plump and full, stirring Chen Mo’s emotions and keeping his gaze bright.

Feeling Chen Mo’s peculiar focus, a shy blush appeared on Xiao Yunxi’s face as she changed the subject, "I won’t be able to bear you a child until at least the second half of next year."

"Why?"

"The Cultivation Technique I practice prevents me from becoming pregnant, so I need to stop cultivating for a while to adjust. Because after giving birth to Zheng’Er, I resumed cultivation soon after." Xiao Yunxi explained.

"There’s no hurry. For adjustment, you can consult Mi’Er." Chen Mo suggested.

"Okay."
