Chapter 262 Reconciliation
Ye Pianran never imagined that Chunyu Yang carried such a past. After listening to him finish telling the whole story, she nestled in his arms, feeling both bitter and astringent. She wanted to cry, but no tears came. She wanted to say something, but felt inexplicably heavy.
“Although Xuan’er is not my biological son, he calls me Father, and I will protect him for life and give him everything I can,” Chunyu Yang said. “If I have my own children in the future, my attitude towards Xuan’er will not change, and he will always come first. That’s why I hesitated to tell you before. Are you willing…”
Taking a deep breath, Chunyu Yang cautiously asked, "Would you be willing to raise this child with me?"
He had hesitated to take another concubine for two reasons: first, he worried that having a child would distract him from Jingxuan; second, he was concerned that if she knew that Xuan'er was not his biological child, she would treat Xuan'er coldly, causing him unnecessary suffering.
It's impossible for him not to be flustered after revealing all this today. After all, who can accept the fact that their husband is raising someone else's child? Moreover, Jingxuan is undoubtedly the one who will inherit the throne of the Northern Martial King. Who would want to see their child lose to an "outsider"?
He waited with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation for Ye Pianran's answer, his palms sweating with nervousness.
Ye Pianran propped herself up, stared at him for a long while, and then suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Chunyu Yang asked.
Ye Pianran raised her hand, gently stroked his face, and murmured, "I'm laughing at your foolishness."
He grasped her restless hand, his furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and sighed, "You're not the first person to say that."
“But you are loyal and righteous, and you clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment,” Ye Pianran said. “I am very happy to know you.”
He was stunned for a moment, then his eyes gradually filled with ecstasy.
"I misunderstood you. I thought you brought me there so that I could become a second Zhan Yinghong and ease your longing for me," Ye Pianran said with an apologetic smile. "You should have told me sooner."
"It was my fault, please don't be angry with me anymore, okay?" Chunyu Yang murmured, rubbing his face against her palm.
"I'm no longer angry." Ye Pianran's eyes were glistening, like a begonia flower shyly blooming in the rain. "You've already accepted the existence of a mysterious space within me, so why would I care about Xuan'er's background?"
“Jingxuan has a good personality, a sweet tongue, and is smart and eager to learn. Who wouldn’t like him? I have promised you that I would be his mother, and I will not go back on my word.”
Ye Pianran smiled gently and intertwined her fingers with his.
Chunyu Yang felt a surge of heat in his heart, as if a blazing flame was burning within him, gradually turning into a raging inferno.
He pulled her into his arms, cradled the back of her head, and lowered his head to kiss her deeply. This kiss was different from the one under the starry sky on Xiling Mountain; it was a significant moment when they completely opened their hearts and entered the depths of each other's souls. From this day forward, she would truly be one with him.
Their breaths mingled, their lips met, and on the misty bed, his long black hair intertwined with hers, as if they had become one.
Just as he was about to lose control, he restrained himself, looked up at her with her eyes half-closed, as if she were slightly tipsy, and gave her a faint smile.
Seeing his smile, she smiled too, softly hooking her arm around his neck. Her sleeve slipped down, revealing her fair, slender arm, and she asked:
"Then...when will you marry me?"
Her tone rose slightly at the end, with a hint of nasality, making one's heart soften even more.
Unexpectedly, Chunyu Yang sighed softly upon hearing this and said, "This matter... has encountered a small problem now."
Ye Pianran frowned immediately and asked reproachfully, "What? You want to back out?"
“Of course not,” Chunyu Yang said. He pulled her up, tidied her disheveled temples, and said, “Today I originally planned to go to the palace to report to Father and ask him to betroth you to me, but I didn’t expect my fourth brother to go first. Father is in a dilemma, and my sixth brother has also rushed to the palace with Xuan’er, interfering as well. Now, it’s probably not so simple for anyone to marry you.”
Ye Pianran: "..." She had no idea when she had become so sought after?
but……
Ye Pianran frowned deeply. Chunyu Jing actually wanted to marry her? Why? Didn't he find her ugly and always fall for Ye Yingrou? Otherwise, why would he let Ye Yingrou enter the Nanping Prince's mansion as his personal maid?
Or was his action for Ye Yingrou?
Ah, no wonder he unexpectedly appeared in Shuntian Prefecture just now and had something to say to her. This must be what he wanted to say.
"So what did you say?" Ye Pianran asked Chunyu Yang.
Chunyu Yang said, "I suggested to my father that whoever wins the autumn hunt will be qualified to propose to you, and my father approved my suggestion. Tangli, during the autumn hunt, I will definitely win the full house and not let the two of them have any chance to get close to you."
With her heart at ease, Ye Pianran said, "Of course I believe you, and I will do my best to help you."
Suddenly remembering something, Ye Pianran added, "By the way, I took on two missions from my master today and gained a lot of experience. The space has also changed a bit. Would you like to come with me to take a look?"
Chunyu Yang had just seen that she remained unconscious, and knew that her unusual behavior was related to the space, so he immediately nodded in agreement.
Their foreheads touched, and in the blink of an eye, Chunyu Yang and Ye Pianran smoothly entered the space together. The moment Chunyu Yang appeared, he heard 666's familiar voice:
"Yo~ Comrade Da Yang! Long time no see!"
A gentle breeze swept by, and 666 landed on Chunyu Yang's shoulder, affectionately patting his head with its wing.
"It's you? You've returned to normal?" Chunyu Yang's lips curled up slightly as he raised his hand and hooked 666's chin.
"Hey, don't mess with the AI, you know you'll pay the price for it!" 666 barked arrogantly twice, then flapped its wings and flew away.
Chunyu Yang's gaze followed its movement, eventually landing on the Spirit Abyss Vine, which was clearly changing and entwined around the peach tree. He paused, then asked:
"What is this...?"
Ye Pianran beckoned to the Spirit Abyss Vine. Sensing her call, the Spirit Abyss Vine instantly disappeared from the peach tree and then sprouted from the ground at their feet, happily wrapping itself around Ye Pianran's hand.
"666 said it has evolved and started to have a rank. Although it's only at the first level of Spirit Gathering, its strength should increase. Besides that..."
Ye Pianran opened the main control panel and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I upgraded too."
Chunyu Yang nodded and said, "That's good."
"Oh, right." Ye Pianran's eyes crinkled mischievously. She put her hands behind her back and took out the "White Tiger Formless Skill" from her mustard seed bag. "Third Prince, I have something to give you."
"Hmm?" Chunyu Yang raised an eyebrow.
“However…” Ye Pianran smiled, “before I give it to you, you have to agree to one condition.”
Chunyu Yang joked with her, "I won't do murder or arson, nor will I commit rape or kidnapping."
"Don't worry, I won't make you do anything difficult," Ye Pianran said with a smile.
“Then you speak,” Chunyu Yang said.
"You can keep it for now, I'll tell you when I think of something later." Ye Pianran smiled triumphantly, her eyes sparkling with a dashing and spirited air, which momentarily captivated Chunyu Yang. However, as if to antagonize her, just as she was about to hand the manual to Chunyu Yang, she found her hands empty; the manual had vanished into thin air.
Where did it go? Ye Pianran stood there in a daze. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a flash of blue and saw the Lingyuan Vine entwined with the "White Tiger Formless Skill" and swaying as it ran away.
"Lingyuan, give me back my things!" Ye Pianran's face flushed red, and she hurriedly chased after Lingyuan Teng.
The Spirit Abyss Vine thought she was playing with it, hiding among the flowers and twining around the branches, holding the manual high so Ye Pianran couldn't reach it. In the end, Chunyu Yang himself snatched the manual back from the Spirit Abyss Vine. Looking at the manual in his hand, he felt a surge of excitement once again.
"Is this for me?"
"It's a system reward, but it's useless to me. I might as well give it to you." Ye Pianran said, blushing. "You share space access with me and can use everything in the space at will. If you master this technique, you can preserve a chance of survival for yourself in future battles."
Having directly accessed the manual and memorized the cultivation method, Chunyu Yang solemnly said to Ye Pianran:
"Tangli, thank you so much. It is my great fortune to know you."
"And what about me?" Ye Pianran laughed.
