Chapter 633: Intoxicated, She Unknowingly Gave Herself the Chance to Open an Immortal Sect

Since Nanli learned of the Immortal World’s intentions to use Pomegranate Grass on her, she no longer casually ate food outside.

Even when attending a family banquet at the Duke’s residence, Chunbao and Rainbow would go to the kitchen to oversee the cooks preparing the food.

Looking at the ginger candy, Nanli hesitated.

Ye Siheng then took it and said, "Sixth sister doesn’t want something sweet today. Let me eat it for her."

He put the ginger candy into his mouth.

Chu Nanying froze for a moment.

Children couldn’t hide their emotions. Seeing Nanli not eat her ginger candy, she pouted, clearly a little upset.

"Sixth sister..."

Nanli couldn’t bear to see Chu Nanying sad and was about to open her mouth to eat one.

But Chu Nanying quickly broke into a smile and said, "Alright then."

This candy had been blessed in front of the Buddha, so it should be effective for anyone who eats it.

She remembered what the fairy sister had said—after eating it, one should pray, but not speak about it to the couple, or else it would lose its effectiveness.

Chu Nanying turned and left.

Nanli watched her light steps and couldn’t help but sigh, "Lil Seven’s health has improved a lot."

Ye Siheng nodded slightly, "Thanks to your help with her health."

The ginger candy melted in his mouth.

It tasted just like any other ginger candy.

Still, it was a gift from a child, so he didn’t think much of it.

After Chu Huan and Chu Yan finished their duties and returned to the Duke’s residence, the family had dinner and chatted for a while before leaving.

They would set off tomorrow, and after Nanli bathed, she continued to check the talismans and elixirs she would need.

Ye Siheng came out of the bath.

When he saw she hadn’t looked up at him, a trace of annoyance flickered across his face.

There was nothing to be done, so he walked over to her.

Suddenly appearing at her side, his scent, still fresh from the bath, filled her nose.

She slightly turned her head.

In the candlelight, he was wearing only undergarments, his upper body bare.

There was still some moisture on his skin, and it glistened.

His muscular shoulders and back were well-defined.

Nanli’s eyes brightened. She reached out to touch and pinch, but then she rolled up her sleeve and showed him, "Look! I have them too!"

Her arms were strong and defined, the lines just as sharp as his.

She appeared delicate, but where she needed to be firm, she was firm, and where she needed to have curves, she had them.

Ye Siheng stared at her muscles for a moment, silent, then said, "I’m like this now, don’t you have any thoughts about it?"

Nanli blinked, her eyes clear.

But when her gaze fell on his neck, her mouth went dry, and she quickly turned her head away.

She cleared her throat, "We set off tomorrow, and we’ll need to ride horses."

"We can wait a couple of days before riding. We can take a carriage first," Ye Siheng said.

"We can’t do both..."

Ye Siheng saw her lips part and, in a moment of passion, moved in to kiss her.

Just one kiss.

His eyes were hazy, his body full of desire.

It was like a spark had caught on dry wood, igniting instantly.

Even he was surprised by how much he wanted her tonight.

He exhaled, his warm breath brushing against her ear.

It was exactly where she was most sensitive.

Nanli shuddered slightly, and now when she looked at Ye Siheng’s body, it was no longer like looking at a comrade in arms but rather at her husband, her lover.

Just then, a spring breeze blew through.

The window slammed shut, and the light from the candleholder went out entirely.

The moonlight was cold.

His body seemed to melt into the moonlight, full of irresistible allure.

"A’Li..."

He whispered softly.

But thinking of their agreement, just as he was about to move closer, he stopped.

A man must keep his word.

Otherwise, A’Li might look down on him, mocking his lack of self-control.

However, hearing him call her A’Li made Nanli’s last defenses collapse.

Seeing him retreat, she acted quickly, grabbing his hand and throwing him onto the bed.

Her hair cascaded around them.

His handsome face was mesmerizing.

The silver light was intoxicating.

He said, "A’Li, isn’t it okay?"

Nanli’s voice was teasing, "The things I’ve been eating recently are either made by Rainbow and the others or closely watched by them as they supervise the cooks..."

People from Penglai Island had said that after a woman takes Pomegranate Grass, its effects last for half a year.

Because the higher a cultivator’s rank, the harder it is for them to conceive.

But she hadn’t eaten anything else, and even her snacks had been personally made by Rainbow and Chunbao.

Faced with such beauty,

She wasn’t blind, and if she wasn’t moved, then she truly had no feelings for Ye Siheng.

Moreover...

If she helped him through other means, it would be tiring for her body, and her hands would get tired too.

Most importantly, she wouldn’t experience anything herself!

Ye Siheng sneered, "I thought A’Li was really pure and indifferent, completely uninterested in me."

He had been secretly upset for quite a while.

It was as if the moonlight and spring breeze had muddled his senses.

The journey, which had been set to leave the next morning, was delayed to three days later.

After Nanli became pregnant, she couldn’t figure out why, even though she had been extremely cautious and hadn’t eaten anything that was given to her by others.

Later, she learned that not only does the Pomegranate Grass work on women, but it works even better for men!

Because society believes that having children is a woman’s responsibility, men had never taken Pomegranate Grass, and the Immortal World didn’t know that it could have this effect.

Ye Siheng had accidentally given himself the opportunity to start the Immortal Sect.

---

The couple set off three days later without any servants or guards.

Qing Feng was saddened for a while,

But remembering the prince’s orders, he pulled himself together, knowing he had to keep an eye on the capital and protect the Chu family.

As long as he did well, the prince would take him along the next time!

Chu Shuo’s academy was ready to open.

During his break, Chu Ye and his brothers went to have a look.

Chu Shuo’s carriage was the biggest, so all the brothers could ride in one.

Chu Ye asked first, "Second brother, what’s the name of the academy? Did you ask third brother for any ideas?"

"I named it with Yanyan. Third brother is busy with official matters, so I didn’t want to bother him," Chu Shuo replied.

Chu Huan said, "Second brother, stop making excuses. You didn’t discuss it with us because you didn’t want to hear our opinions."

Chu Yan nodded in agreement.

Chu Shuo laughed, waving his hand, "No, no, the name I chose is simple and direct. You’ll see soon."

The three brothers, seeing his confident expression, were a bit curious.

When they got off the carriage, not only the Qian family members but also Xie Beihan and Li Bin had arrived.

Lu Yanyan was in the carriage behind, as she had picked up her brother Lu Zheng before coming, causing a slight delay.

Chu Shuo said, "It’s a pity that the prince and sixth sister are traveling. It feels like something’s missing without them."

Lu Zheng replied honestly, "Actually, it’s fine. With the Ninth Prince here, everyone would probably feel restrained."

Lu Yanyan recalled Ye Siheng’s cold, gloomy face and nodded, "What brother said is true."

It was nearly time. After the drums and lion dances, Chu Shuo went to pull the ribbon and revealed the plaque.
