I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse
Chapter 873: Can You Stay Tonight?

Chapter 873: Chapter 873: Can You Stay Tonight?

Despite the woman’s words being laced with teasing and jokey intent, the man not only didn’t take offense but instead paused and said, "Going now wouldn’t be too good, would it?"

"How would it not be good?"

The woman’s expression immediately fell.

"You know, he has never seen me from the time he was born until now. He doesn’t even know I exist. If I go to see him now, I’m afraid he won’t be able to control his emotions."

"He’s your son. Do fathers have to make appointments to see their sons now?" The woman scoffed.

"That’s not what I mean. I’m just considering the child’s feelings. Plus, you should be clearer about my identity and his. Until he has absolute strength, it’s better to see less of each other, after all... there are people above watching."

"Hmph! Afraid of them, my ass. I’m not someone to be trifled with either!"

The man suddenly pulled the woman into his arms and whispered, "Little Cherry, over these dozens of lifetimes and reincarnations, I’ve already seen through everything. Yet, the only thing I can’t let go of is you. Although our situation has improved, the Heavenly Realm still watches us like a tiger stalking its prey. We can no longer be as reckless as we were back then. No matter what, we must not show off our strengths rashly and must remain calm and steady, waiting for Mu Yun to grow stronger."

Seeing that the woman was no longer being stubborn, the man continued, "Right now, the child has regained his memories. All we need to do is quietly watch him grow."

"Quietly watch?" The woman snorted coldly. "No way, that bratty kid takes too long with things. Those daughters-in-law of his are not easy to find, even if you searched with a lantern. Plus, each of them has a twisted fate entwined with his. Just let him clear all that up in this lifetime!"

"But..."

"There’s no buts about it. I’m his mother, and I’ve decided on this matter!"

"Ah-Choo!"

You, who were sitting in the living room waiting for Xian Qianling to wake up, suddenly sneezed, rubbed your nose, and patted your forehead.

This time, you didn’t let out a meaningless sigh.

By all accounts, you were a person who had already died once. Having lived two lifetimes, along with the several slaps and a punch from the Empress just now, you seemed to have come to understand some principles.

Some words didn’t need to be said excessively. Right now, all you needed to do was figure out how to handle the relationships with the three women.

If it were the old Zhao’er, you wouldn’t have worried about her refusing the addition of two other women. But things were different now. Zhao’er had developed self-awareness, and from the display back at the school gate, it was clear that she, like Wu Qiyi, was a girl with a calculating mind. Without knowing her intentions, you wouldn’t dare say anything to her about the "Beautiful Empress Hero," "the bliss of sharing," or "sleeping together under a big quilt."

Does that mean you are aiming for a harem?

You scratched your head, and ultimately, quite shamelessly, nodded!

Damn it, a man must do what he must, and not do what he mustn’t!

You absolutely couldn’t let Wu Qiyi and Xian Qianling hold hands with another man, not even looking at each other for more than ten seconds. Absolutely not!

As for the law?

People can’t die for hundreds of years now, can the law still control that?

As for societal norms?

To hell with societal norms!

As for the readers?

Ah, why bring up the readers, what are readers, can they be eaten?

...

"Uh."

Just as you were lost in your thoughts, a light moan came from the bedroom.

You abruptly stood up and rushed in, reaching out to gently help her sit up.

Xian Qianling seemed a bit dazed, staring straight at you as you helped her sit against the headboard, only to say something that suddenly made you feel a bit of a heartache, "Is this a dream?"

What a foolish girl.

She was so outstanding, and with just a finger wave, droves of young, talented, and handsome men would flock to her. And yet, she still loved you tirelessly and without regret to the death.

You lightly stroked her hair and smiled, "Of course, this is not a dream. How are you feeling now? Are you dizzy?"

She shook her head.

"Are you thirsty, do you want to drink some water?"

Hearing this, Xian Qianling immediately chuckled with a Yan Ran smile.

"What, what’s wrong?" You were suddenly a bit stunned.

"Nothing. I just thought of a joke about a boy." Xian Qianling carefully rested her head on your shoulder. Her movements were very cautious, as if she feared that if she wasn’t careful, you would disappear from her sight.

After a while, she softly exhaled two words.

"Very good."

You touched your nose, not sure what to say.

"Mu Yun."

"Hmm."

"Don’t leave tonight, okay?"

"Hmm?!"

Seeing your exaggerated expression, Xian Qianling playfully smiled. "I’m just teasing you. What I mean is, you sleep in the living room tonight, I get scared when you’re not around."

"Hmm, okay."

With that, Xian Qianling shifted positions, curling up in your arms like a cat.

Breathing in her unique fragrance and looking at the darling figure in your arms longing for you, the resolve in your heart became even firmer.

"Mu Yun, tell me, am I being too selfish?"

Xian Qianling slowly raised her head, looking intently at you. Her gaze was filled with tenderness, as if she could never get enough of you.

"Why would you say that?"

Xian Qianling, always so strong, had never before seemed as vulnerable as she was now. Every action she took made your heart tremble.

"I know that you don’t really like me, yet I took advantage of your memory loss to say those things to you and shamelessly entered your world, completely disrupting your life..."

You gently shook your head and smiled at Xian Qianling, "No, it’s not like that. You might not have realized it, but I actually quite enjoy the times when you’re by my side. Although you sometimes come off a bit domineering and have that princess attitude, and even though at the beginning..."

Crap!

You almost blurted out "our relationship wasn’t harmonious at the beginning" which would have been the same as telling Xian Qianling that you had regained your memory.

At that moment, your brain functioned like a supercomputer, reacting extremely sensitively: "Our relationship was quite good from the start, wasn’t it? Even though you’re a front-line detective, you have a tenderness that ordinary girls don’t possess, and I can see that."

"Really?"

"Hmm!"

You nodded firmly.

"I’m really happy you can say that. It’s just..." Xian Qianling sighed softly, "These days probably won’t last long."

"Why, why would you say that..."

Your heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Because once you regain your memory, you’ll treat me like you did before."

"Like before?"

"Hmm... Never mind, I’m a bit sleepy. Let me lean on you and sleep for a while."

"Oh, okay."
