To put it plainly, Sui Yi wasn’t approachable in the past. Although not exactly indifferent, her high stature made Qi Lian and others respect her to the point of reverence, making them hesitate to get close. Coupled with the fact that the High Priest couldn’t possibly be proactively friendly, she appeared even more distant and aloof. But now, although her dignity and grace remain, Sui Yi, after her experiences in the world, has become much more gentle and caring, making Qi Lian feel like he’s in a dream, yet jittery.

Sui Yi knew this, and never forced it. She also knew Qi Lian was hiding something.

—— That man mentioned by Wu Jue and Jiang Chenyu.

Probably those wizards back then hated him to the bone.

Sui Yi savored her tea and softly said, "Though I don’t remember many things, I vaguely recall you back then... fair-skinned and tender, the youngest, very adorable..."

She tried to recall those past events, but her mind was blank, only able to faintly glimpse the old Qi Lian as the young disciple with the bun hairstyle, reckless yet cheerful...

But as years have passed, that cute and naive bun hairstyle has grown up so much, and is now a wife... and surely, these years have been tough, making her unhappy.

This realization made Sui Yi’s heart quite forlorn.

Observing one, were all the others the same?

But to Sui Yi’s words, Qi Lian became rather tense, instinctively with tears in her eyes, puffed her cheeks and weakly said, "Imperial Crown... won’t you want me anymore? Although I’m still not very strong, far less than my senior sisters and brothers, but I..."

She clenched her fists, "When I give my all, I’m quite fierce... If it wasn’t for that Shen Xuan’s treachery, I wouldn’t have been captured..."

"And I... I didn’t intentionally marry Wu Xie..."

"Back then, I was merely..."

Qi Lian suddenly stopped talking, eyes lowered.

Sui Yi reached out to touch Qi Lian’s head, "I won’t abandon you... If you never leave, I’ll never drive you away..."

"Alright, you just woke up, also tired, sleep now"

Qi Lian was indeed exhausted, softened entirely by the touch, obediently lying back on the bed. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

After Sui Yi exited the tent, she saw Wu Xie.

The two walked a bit away.

Winter seemed to be over, the vast grassland appeared.

"Did Qi Lian marry you just to utilize your Human Race royal bloodline?"

Sui Yi straightforwardly asked. After those days, the Divine Race was sealed, the Human Race flourished. Following the trend, a witch trying to regain power had to seize the Human Race royals... Wu Xie also didn’t hide: "Yes"

"Are you not angry?"

"If it weren’t for this... how would she agree to marry me.... Rather, I find joy in this"

Wu Xie’s answer made Sui Yi silent.

"She is simple-minded, yet harbors hatred, thus quickly matured through life’s turmoil... High Priest, I have watched her transform from naïve ignorance of worldly matters to a schemer... Back then, I also resented You and those who vanished for bringing about her Heart Demon, which made her more cruel to me. But thinking about it... between the Human Race, your Wizard Tribe, and the Divine Race sealed in the Dimensional Realm, perhaps even you wouldn’t judge right or wrong; only hatred lingers... But I love her, no matter how she treats me... I’m willing to bear it."

Because of love, one is willing.

Sui Yi understood.

In the subsequent changes of the world, a witch’s situation is naturally perilous, whether it’s the Human Race or the Divine Race, none can tolerate them... If it weren’t for Wu Xie’s protection, Qi Lian alone might not have survived.

But as the other party is willing, she has no position to express gratitude.

"Then... may your willingness last forever"

Sui Yi’s words left Wu Xie stunned for a moment, then he bowed his head, "Thank you", and went back into the tent.

Being husband and wife... whatever quarrel or bicker they have inside, it’s their own business.

Sui Yi: "...."

Why did that thank you feel so odd.

"Are you feeling sentimental, like having an early taste of being a mother-in-law"

Natasha’s teasing voice came, making Sui Yi’s expression momentarily freeze.

Mother-in-law?

While others delight in becoming a father, Sui Yi has happily become a "mother" several times.

Now a mother-in-law...

Upgraded indeed.

Such is the life of a winner.

Shi Feixuan couldn’t help but chuckle, Natasha shot her a sideways glance, holding a cigarette and blowing a smoke ring: "Little sister-in-law feels joyful?"

Shi Feixuan: "．．．．"

Sui Yi: Best get back soon．．．at least send this one back to Great Britain.

Five days later, a group departed the Gana Grassland, returning to the Western Regions’ border.

On the border, each group went in different directions.

An individual had left early.

Fu Junyu, whom Shi Feixuan and others had noticed before, Fu Junnuo’s junior sister, though, compared to Fu Junnuo’s chivalrous air, Fu Junyu appeared gentle, yet remained cold and glamorous, never speaking to others, her reason for coming to the Western Regions unknown...

"Maybe this person is that traitor under Fu Cailin’s Gate, won’t you act?" Natasha asked.

Sui Yi shook her head: "Issues under his Gate are for him to deal with, if necessary, even Junnuo should handle it, it’s not my place..."

Natasha said nothing.

Upon departure, Shang Xiuxun earnestly invited Sui Yi to visit Flying Horse Ranch, naturally, others were similar．．．

However, Sui Yi politely declined.(Incomplete. If you enjoy this work, you’re welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com for reading.)
