Ye Guan and Ao Qianqian left the din behind them.

Ao Qianqian said, "I know where we can have lunch. I’ll bring you there."

Ye Guan smiled and nodded. "Okay."

Guided by Ao Qianqian, the two of them started walking toward the exit. As expected, they attracted a myriad of gazes. Despite Ao Qianqian’s nonchalant attitude, her face still got hotter because so many people were looking at her.

Soon, the two arrived at a restaurant near the Milky Way Academy. Once seated, Ao Qianqian, clearly familiar with the place, picked up the menu and started ordering.

Ye Guan finally took a closer look at her. Today, she was wearing a simple and elegant long white dress, which made her look clean and graceful. Her long hair fell past her shoulders, and she wasn't wearing make-up, unabashedly revealing her natural features.

The two dragon horns sticking out of her head added a touch of cuteness to her appearance. The dragon horns were tiny, so they looked like accessories, but Ye Guan knew that they were real dragon horns.

Ao Qianqian rolled her eyes at Ye Guan and blushed slightly as she asked, "Why are you staring at me so intently?"

Ye Guan smiled and explained, "In the past, I often complained about being constantly involved in high-stakes situations after leaving the Ye Clan. But now, I feel like I'm the luckiest man in the world."

"Why?" Ao Qianqian asked.

Ye Guan grabbed her hand and said softly, "Because I wouldn't have met you if my parents hadn't decided to leave me behind. If I hadn’t met you, would there be any meaning to becoming the King of the Guanxuan Universe or surpassing the Four Swords?"

Ao Qianqian stared at Ye Guan for a few moments before she burst out laughing, saying, "You really know how to whisper sweet nothings now, and I’m not falling for it!"

Ye Guan chuckled and said, "We've established a contract and were once merged. Our thoughts and feelings are connected, so I can deceive anyone but you."

Ao Qianqian held Ye Guan’s hand and lowered her head slightly.

"Yes, I know," she said.

"Do you like the Blue Planet?" he asked.

"Yes," Ao Qianqian replied, "There isn’t much fighting here, and every day's an adventure. I'm seeing new things every day here."

Ye Guan smiled and wanted to say something, but the dishes that they had ordered were finally served.

Ao Qianqian smiled and said excitedly, "The food here is delicious, you know? I often come here to eat. Anyway, try this. It’s a chicken egg—an egg laid by a chicken..."

Ye Guan was shocked. "You haven't eaten chicken eggs before?"

"Chickens are considered lowly creatures in our clan, so we don’t really eat them," Ao Qianqian replied, shaking her head. Then, she picked up something else with her chopsticks and put it on Ye Guan’s plate, saying, "That one tastes great, too. It’s a duck egg—an egg laid by a duck..."

Ye Guan shook his head and chuckled. He could tell that she really liked the food on this planet. Ao Qianqian had ordered many dishes at once, and she had already memorized the names of the dishes that she had ordered.

Ye Guan didn't eat that much, and he stared at her with eyes full of tenderness once he was done eating. He couldn't help but think that he owed Ao Qianqian way too much.

Ao Qianqian looked up at Ye Guan and asked, "Why are you staring at me?"

Ye Guan said with a serious tone, "I’ve decided on something."

"What is it?"

"I want to have a daughter with you!"

Ao Qianqian’s eyes widened, and she blinked in shock, looking as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard.

Ye Guan continued, "I want you to give birth to a daughter as pretty as yourself!"

"Cough! Cough!" Ao Qianqian coughed, almost choking on her food.

Ye Guan walked up to her and started patting her back gently.

Ao Qianqian stared at Ye Guan with a flushed face. freew ebnovel.com

"D-don't say stuff like that. Hearing them... makes my heart beat very fast."

Ao Qianqian's indifference would sometimes make her seem versed in just about anything, but she was actually rather naive when it came to relationships. However, most girls from the Guanxuan Universe were like Ao Qianqian.

Ye Guan sat down beside her and put a hand around her waist.

"You know we’re going to get married, right? After we get married, we’ll eventually have children, so I want to know whether you prefer a girl or a boy."

"I like both—" Ao Qianqian unconsciously replied, but she caught herself in time. She glared shyly at Ye Guan and swung her fist, giving him a playful punch in the chest.

Boom!

Ye Guan was blasted ten meters away, shocking the restaurant patrons and Ye Guan. The punch was so strong that it made Ye Guan feel that he would have died if it had been just a bit stronger!

Ao Qianqian was stunned to see Ye Guan flying away. Moments later, she recovered and rushed over to Ye Guan.

"You shameless scoundrel!" Just then, a man pointed at Ye Guan and roared, "How dare you harass a respectable woman in broad daylight?!"

Then, the man turned around and ran over to Ao Qianqian. He sounded serious as he said, "Miss, don’t worry. I'm here, so no one will dare to hurt you."

Unbeknownst to Ao Qianqian, she attracted countless gazes the moment she entered the restaurant, including the man’s gaze. However, every single man in the restaurant cursed silently to themselves upon seeing Ye Guan standing next to her.

She's so pretty; what a pity that she's taken!

Ao Qianqian ignored the man and walked up to Ye Guan, helping him up. Her heart ached a bit upon seeing blood trickling down his mouth.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

I'm okay? Ye Guan chuckled bitterly. You almost killed me!

She gently wiped the blood away, feeling extremely guilty.

The man looked at both of them in disbelief. "You two..."

"He's my husband!" Ao Qianqian replied, but she blushed instantly once the words left her mouth. They weren't married yet, but she had already called him husband.

Ao Qianqian felt shy, happy, and excited at the same time.

Husband?! The man froze, and it took him a while to regain his composure. Once he recovered, he cleared his throat and asked, "Why did you hit him, then?"

"Don’t you know that hitting is a sign of affection and scolding is a form of love[1]?" Ao Qianqian asked back.

The man’s expression froze, and he had no idea what to say.

The restaurant patrons were speechless as well, and they all had the same thought. Makes sense, but did you really have to hit him so hard? You almost killed him!

The men looked at Ye Guan and their looks of envy turned into pity. This pitiful man has to be careful all the time. Otherwise, her hands might slip, and he'd end up getting beaten to the death.

Ao Qianqian retrieved a few bills from her wallet and put them on the table. Then, she picked Ye Guan up and turned around to leave. The restaurant patrons cast strange gazes at Ye Guan in Ao Qianqian's arms.

"I get it now! So he only has his looks going for him!" exclaimed someone.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan and Ao Qianqian still attracted gazes as they walked back to the academy. However, the gazes of the people around them felt off to Ye Guan, so he hurriedly said, "P-Put me down, I-I’ll walk on my own..."

He had suffered severe injuries, but he still wanted to walk on his own.

He felt a little embarrassed being carried around by Ao Qianqian as if he were a princess.

However, Ao Qianqian chided him, "Stop moving!"

Ye Guan felt a bit helpless. In the end, Ye Guan decided to give up all resistance; he couldn't resist her, anyway, so he buried his head into her arms, making contact with something soft and squishy.

Ao Qianqian blushed instantly, and her face became hot. She looked down at him and said in a trembling voice, "You... don’t mess around! Otherwise, I-I-I'll tell Little Jia!"

Huh? Ye Guan was stunned. She's going to tell Little Jia if I mess around? What does that mean?

Ao Qianqian realized just then that her tongue had slipped, and she glared at Ye Guan with embarrassment and anger.

"Why are you staring at me again?!" she snapped.

Ye Guan smiled sheepishly. "Are you going to carry me like this into the academy?"

Ye Guan knew that his reputation would plummet to the abyss If he were to let Ao Qianqian carry him into the academy as if he were a princess. Fortunately, Ao Qianqian seemed to have understood what he was trying to say, and she put him down gently upon seeing that they were already in front of the academy gates.

Ao Qianqian's heart throbbed in pain, and she felt extremely guilty.

"Y-you shouldn't have said something so embarrassing! Don't do it again!"

"I said it because I like you," Ye Guan replied.

Ao Qianqian’s heart started to race madly against her chest.

She was both delighted and shy, but of course, she was more delighted than shy.

Ye Guan suddenly sighed at length and said, "Well, if you don't want to hear me say something along the lines of that again, then I can oblige."

"No!" Ao Qianqian grabbed Ye Guan's hand and hurriedly explained, "You can say it, but ten times a day is... the limit."

Ye Guan’s expression froze. Ten times a day? Who do you think I am? Master Sweet-Talker?

Ye Guan wanted to walk by himself, but his injuries were too severe for him to do so. In the end, Ao Qianqian had to support him as the two of them walked into the academy.

Ye Guan suddenly said, "Qianqian, I met a certain someone."

"A certain someone?" Ao Qianqian's curiosity was piqued. "Who?"

"The True God!"

The True God? Ao Qianqian's face changed drastically as she asked, "She’s here?"

Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."

Ao Qianqian started to feel a little nervous. "She didn’t do anything to you, did she?"

Ye Guan shook his head. "No, she's not hostile to me."

"What is she doing here?"

"She's writing books and is selling them."

"Writing books and selling them?"

"She's very... what should I say... very 'unique'? Anyway, it's fine. Her cultivation base is also under suppression, after all."

"She's being suppressed? How come she's being suppressed when she's so strong?"

"I had the same question, but it made sense when she told me that the majority of her cultivation base has been dedicated to suppressing the Universe Tribulation."

The Universe Tribulation! Ao Qianqian’s expression turned heavy. She had heard of the Universe Tribulation as well when she was in the Guanxuan Universe. Of course, she had also heard of its horrors.

The True God had been suppressing the Universe Tribulation for many years now, which was the reason for her absence. Ao Qianqian truly didn't expect that the True God had always been in the Milky Way all this while.

"I'm going to visit her tonight," Ye Guan said, "Do you want to come along?"

Ao Qianqian shook her head. "I can't... I always cultivate at night."

Ye Guan hesitated for a bit upon hearing that, but he eventually said, "I’ll be with you then!"

"N-no!" Ao Qianqian exclaimed. She was clearly thinking of something else as she blushed furiously and added, "I don't want to sleep with you!"

Ye Guan had no idea what to say.
