239: Chapter 239 My Little Wife Also Needs to Cultivate Diligently!

Looking at her like this, Ye Changge felt both love and pity in his heart.

He reached out and took an exquisite small white jade bottle from his Storage Pouch, waving it before Liu Yiyi's eyes.

"Yiyi, look, what is this?"

Liu Yiyi blinked her misty, tearful eyes and looked at the jade bottle.

The jade bottle was warm and translucent, with a faint spiritual light flowing through it; one could tell at a glance it was no ordinary object.

She spoke with a raspy voice:

"Husband... what is this?"

"This is an Advanced Realm-Breaking Pill."

Ye Changge pulled out the stopper, and a faint, refreshing medicinal fragrance immediately spread, gladdening the heart and refreshing the mind.

"After a Qi Refining Cultivator takes it, they can ignore Bottlenecks and directly Breakthrough a minor Realm. If a Late Stage of Qi Refining Cultivator at Great Perfection takes it, it can even increase the chance of Foundation Establishment by half a percent."

Hearing this, Liu Yiyi's beautiful eyes widened slightly.

But only slightly.

Then, she withdrew her gaze, buried her face back into Ye Changge's chest, gave a muffled "oh," and said nothing more.

Clearly, she had no interest in this thing.

Ye Changge's lips twitched slightly.

His little wife was wonderful in every way, except for this temperament...

Liu Yiyi possessed the Wood and was exceptionally gifted in nurturing spiritual plants; the Family's spiritual fields under her care had seen their yield increase by a full thirty percent.

However, when it came to the matter of Cultivation, she would avoid it if she could or delay it if possible.

She didn't like fighting and killing, nor did she pursue the Great Dao of Longevity.

She simply wanted to stay by Ye Changge's side every day, stay by her children's side, plant some flowers, grow some grass, and live a quiet life.

After all these years, her temperament was still like that of a young girl.

In private when no one was around, she would always act spoiled, be clingy, and throw little tantrums, as if she were forever that innocent girl he had picked up from the mountain forest back then.

Ye Changge sometimes felt that he hadn't married a wife, but rather raised a daughter.

Yet, he happened to be quite fond of exactly that.

He let out a helpless sigh, put the jade bottle back into his Storage Pouch, and began searching again.

A moment later, he pulled out another even more exquisite jade box and opened it in front of Liu Yiyi.

Inside the box lay a Medicinal Pill the size of a longan, pure white and crystal clear, with faint iridescent light flowing on its surface, looking magnificent.

A fragrance even more delicate and alluring than before spread out.

"Then what about this one?"

Ye Changge intentionally kept her in suspense and smiled:

"This pill is called the 'Snow Skin Jade Countenance Pill,' and it is a Second-Tier Medicinal Pill. After taking it, it can make the skin whiter and more delicate, the appearance more beautiful, and grant eternal youth."

He paused and added:

Hearing this, Liu Yiyi finally reacted.

She raised her misty beautiful eyes and looked at the Medicinal Pill emitting iridescent light, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.

"Yiyi, think about it, you are only at the fifth level of Qi Refining now, and your Lifespan is only a hundred and fifty years. If you cannot Breakthrough to the Late Stage of Qi Refining, a hundred years from now, you will gradually grow old."

Hearing this, Liu Yiyi's body stiffened slightly.

Ye Changge continued:

"Moreover, while I was out this time, I obtained a miraculous Cultivation Technique called the Longevity Nurturing Spirit Art. This technique doesn't require fighting; you only need to find a compatible spiritual plant and refine it into a Natal Spirit Seed to extend your life."

"It's just..." He changed his tone, showing a look of regret, "this technique requires a Cultivator to at least reach the Late Stage of Qi Refining before it can be practiced."

Liu Yiyi fell silent.

Though she didn't like to Cultivate, she wanted to grow old even less.

She didn't want to stand by her husband's side with a head full of white hair.

Even more... she didn't want to be separated from him by Yin and Yang after a hundred years.

She bit her lip and finally reached out, taking both the jade bottle containing the rank breaking pill and the jade box containing the Beauty Pill, carefully tucking them into her Storage Pouch.

"Then... then I'll give it a try."

Her voice was low, carrying a bit of reluctance, yet there was a hint of seriousness that even she hadn't noticed.

Seeing this, Ye Changge finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He smiled and planted a kiss on her forehead, saying warmly:

"That's a good girl."

Ye Changge's heart fluttered from her gaze, and he couldn't help but lean down again.

"Mm... Husband... don't... don't do it again..."

Liu Yiyi gave a startled cry, but her lips were soon blocked.

The bed began to sway once more.

...

A long time passed again.

Liu Yiyi was completely drained of strength, curled up in Ye Changge's arms like a lazy cat, too tired to even move a finger.

Closing her eyes, her cheek pressed against Ye Changge's chest, she listened to that steady and powerful heartbeat, her heart filled with peace.

"Husband..."

She suddenly spoke, her voice soft and carrying a bit of sleepiness.

"Hmm?" Ye Changge held her, his fingers gently stroking her smooth shoulder.

"Xiao Tian... he told me again a few days ago that he wants to go out and see the world."

Liu Yiyi opened her eyes, a flash of worry in her beautiful gaze.

"He said he wants to go out for experience, to see the wider world. I... I didn't agree."

She bit her lip, her voice dropping lower:

"Husband, I know he's grown up and has his own thoughts. But... but it's so dangerous outside, and he's so young, what if..."

She couldn't go on.

Hearing this, Ye Changge sighed inwardly.

He knew Liu Yiyi's temperament all too well.

Back then, when she came out of that small mountain village, she had wandered from place to place and seen too much of the cruelty and darkness of the Cultivation World.

She also felt that the outside world was extremely dangerous.

Those memories had become shadows in her heart that she couldn't shake off.

So she always wanted to protect the children under her wings, not letting them face even a bit of wind or rain.

"Yiyi."

Ye Changge called out softly, looking down at her.

Ye Changge continued:

"I know you're worried about him. But he's a boy; sooner or later, he has to go out and make his way. Instead of keeping him under your wings, it's better to let him learn how to fly early on."

He paused, his voice becoming even gentler:

"Besides, he's not alone. He has the Family as his backing, and he has me as his father. I will arrange everything for him and won't let him truly fall into danger."

Liu Yiyi looked up, gazing into those deep and gentle eyes of his.

After a long time, she nodded gently.

"I trust Husband."

She buried her face back into his chest, her voice muffled:

"It's just... I just can't bear to let him go."

Ye Changge gently patted her back and smiled:

"It's not like he's never coming back. Xiao Tian is only going out for experience, not leaving forever. When he's tired or weary, he will naturally come home."

Leaning in Ye Changge's arms, Liu Yiyi's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and her consciousness began to blur.

Before falling asleep, she mumbles dizzily:

"Husband... in the future... in the future, you're not allowed to leave for so long again..."

Ye Changge looked down at her peaceful sleeping face, a warm current surging in his heart.

"Okay."

He responded softly, dropping a light kiss on her forehead.

"In the future, I won't."

Only then did Liu Yiyi give a satisfied "mm" and fall into a deep sleep.
