32: My Wife

My Wife

Li Moyun looked down on the sleeping beauty in his arms, and a cold gleam passed by his eyes. 1

"Elder Sun, please deal with them as you see fit. I do not want them to be able to threaten the Eternal Shadow Palace or Bai Rouyun in the future."

Li Moyun was a ruthless figure. Although those two women had been by his side since they were children, he was not willing to put Bai Rouyun in danger because of them.

At the same time, he was feeling slightly frustrated. Although he did not feel anything special for the two women, they had known each other for a long time.

It was always regrettable having to sentence such two loyal followers to death, but they had long since forgotten their orders and were acting on emotions. He could not risk them putting the entire Eternal Shadow Palace in danger just to get even with Bai Rouyun.

The middle-aged man, Elder Sun, was not surprised by the decision made by Li Moyun.

He had realized the importance of the madam the moment his eyes landed on her.

Li Moyun refused to let anyone touch him. He hated the touch of others, and even when he was a child, he refused to let the palace maids attend to him or help him dress.

The fact that this woman was allowed to rest on his body showed that she was an exception, and Elder Sun was feeling happy that his master had finally found someone whom he wanted to protect.

The two men spoke a few more words, but Elder Sun quickly excused himself. He did not want to interrupt Li Moyun and Bai Rouyun.

Not long after, Li Moyun bent over and placed a kiss on Bai Rouyun's forehead. The gesture was gentle and soft; he was filled with care and consideration. It was as if the woman in his arms was the rarest of all treasures, but she was still fragile and in need of being protected.

After placing the kiss on her forehead, he slowly stood up and carried Bai Rouyun in his arms. He went back to their bedchambers and put her on the bed.

The moment she landed on the bed, her body curled up into the fetal position, her arms wrapped around her legs, she seemed so insecure and lonely that Li Moyun decided to keep her company.

He laid down on the bed and dragged the sleeping woman into his embrace. He had never planned on sleeping, but the gentle scent of flowers, that was unique to Bai Rouyun, lingered around his nose; the smell was so bewitching that the arm around her waist tightened and dragged her deep into his embrace as his eyelids turned heavy and he succumbed to sleep.

When Li Moyun had carried Bai Rouyun off, many had seen it, and within a short time, much gossip erupted within the Yun Palace.

Everyone started to believe that Bai Rouyun was not married to Li Moyun solely for the sake of dealing with the Emperor. There had to be some emotions between them.

But while these servants and guards dared gossip amongst themselves, no other person was ever informed of anything that happened within the Yun Palace.

By the time Li Moyun awoke from his slumber, the sun was already starting to set.

Li Moyun was a cultivator of high rank, he did not need sleep to sustain his body, but after this sleep, he felt that his soul rested much more than before, and his entire being was full of energy.

Looking down at the woman who was still deep in sleep within his embrace, a gentle smile flitted across his lips. He bent down, kissed her gently on the forehead again, and slowly retracted himself from the embrace.

Not long after, he returned to the study, only to see that the big stone basin that was in the corner was flickering with numerous colorful lights.

He went to the basin and touched it, and instantly the image of a very impatient Xue Jingyu appeared in front of him.

"Finally, you answered!" he exclaimed agitatedly. Generally, if someone did not answer the water contact, then it would just go normal again unless someone continued to pour the message sand into it.

It was clear that Xue Jingyu wanted to speak with Li Moyun.

"Young Master Xue, what can I do for you?" Li Moyun asked as he casually looked down on the image within the water.

"You are located within the Richu Empire, right?" Xue Jingyu asked. Although not many knew the actual location of the Eternal Shadow Palace, Xue Jingyu was aware of it.

"I am," Li Moyun answered calmly. He already knew what Xue Jingyu wanted, but he had no intention of telling this young master that the woman he was looking for was his wife.

"I need you to find a woman for me. She is breathtakingly beautiful and appeared earlier this day. She bought a slice of the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng at the Thousand Treasure Pavilion. I don't have a drawing of her, but she has a powerful guard."

"You want me to find her with this little information?" Li Moyun raised an eyebrow.

"Just do your best," Xue Jingyu said. "I will reward you well if you do."

"I just got a wife," Li Moyun said out of nowhere. "She seems to like concocting medicine, and she is very interested in rare herbs. If I do find this woman for you, do think of giving her some rare things to play with."

Xue Jingyu just nodded his head absentmindedly, not at all paying attention to Li Moyun's words, and Li Moyun did not go into details with this. He just wanted Xue Jingyu to know that he had a wife. In fact, he wanted to shout: 'Bai Rouyun is my wife, stay away from her'.
