Nalan Yanran sat up lazily, her hair cascading like silk over her shoulders.
She reached for a comb and began brushing Ye Chen's hair from behind.
Her movements were slow and filled with affection, as if trying to memorize the feel of him.
"Let me fix your hair one last time before you go," she said softly.
Ye Chen looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her face was gentle, with a kind of quiet grace that stirred something deep in his heart.
With a sudden turn, he pulled her gently into his lap, wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Brother… what are you doing?" she whispered, blushing.
"Just hugging you," he said, resting his chin on her shoulder. "This might be the last time for a while."
Nalan Yanran hesitated for a moment, then leaned back into his embrace, placing her hand over his.
Last night, they hadn't done anything improper.
Ye Chen was too cautious with her condition...too protective to take even the slightest risk.
But they had stayed close, lying together beneath the covers, whispering quietly about the future.
Her words, though innocent, had been tinged with a gentle longing, and her gaze had made his heart race.
She had tried to offer more. Perhaps from guilt, perhaps from love. But Ye Chen had refused.
"I have to endure it, no matter how much I want to," he had told her. "You're pregnant now. I won't let anything happen to you or the baby."
Back in the present, his hands gently brushed over her belly, still flat but holding a future that would change everything.
"You really won't touch me for the next few months?" she asked, half teasing, half serious.
Ye Chen smirked. "That's right. I'm not risking anything. But…" his voice lowered, "you can still sleep in my arms."
Her cheeks turned pink. "Brother, you're becoming more shameless."
"I learned it from you," he said, nuzzling her ear. "Who was the one clinging to me like a spoiled kitten last night?"
"I was just… lonely," she muttered, her voice almost inaudible.
He kissed her forehead lightly. "I'll be back before you know it."
As they got dressed, Nalan Yanran suddenly stood and said, "I made you chicken soup earlier this morning. Let me heat it for you."
Moments later, she returned with a steaming bowl of cloud chicken soup.....a specialty of the Yunlan Sect, made from spiritual poultry that boosted energy and calmed the soul.
Ye Chen took a few sips and smiled. "Still tastes like your love."
Nalan Yanran's cheeks flushed again. "Don't say such things early in the morning…"
After the meal, Ye Chen prepared to leave. He slung a travel bag over his shoulder and looked toward the courtyard gate, where Nalan Yanran had quietly followed him.
"The wind's strong. You shouldn't be standing outside," he said, gently tugging her close.
"I know… but I wanted to see you off," she said, eyes glistening. "You always go out alone. But this time… you're leaving both of us behind."
He placed a hand over her stomach, smiling. "You're not being left behind. You're waiting here,for me to come home."
She nodded.
"I've arranged for my old maidservant to take care of you.
If you feel even a little uncomfortable, send me a message through the jade slip," Ye Chen instructed seriously.
"I will."
He leaned in close, whispering something mischievous in her ear.
Her eyes widened and she blushed fiercely, hitting his chest with her small fist. "You really are getting worse!"
"Bad men are more charming," he said with a smirk, stepping back.
Then he turned around, his steps steady but heart heavy.
Nalan Yanran stood at the gate, hands on her belly, watching his silhouette fade into the distance.
She didn't call after him.
But she whispered softly, "Come back soon, Ye Chen."
.....
Outside the sect, Ye Chen traveled quickly toward the Imperial Capital's sky transport hub. Wutan City was far...nearly on the other side of the Jia Ma Empire....and even with a flying beast, the journey would take days.
In the square, towering birds known as Thick-Winged Birds stood waiting.
Though not magical beasts, they were powerful and well-trained, their wings strong enough to carry passengers for long distances without pause.
Flashing his Yunlan Sect token, Ye Chen was granted priority boarding.
As he climbed onto the wide back of one such beast, the trainer gave a sharp whistle. The Thick-Winged Bird let out a deep screech and launched into the sky.
The wind rushed past him. Clouds drifted below.
And the mountains of the Yunlan Sect disappeared into the distance.
Ye Chen sat quietly on the bird's back, looking straight ahead.
"Wutan City… Xiao Yan… it's time."
His eyes were calm, but his heart surged with purpose.
This journey was more than just a mission. It was the beginning of something that would change his fate—and others'.
Wutan City was tucked away in a remote corner of the Jia Ma Empire.
Even with the aid of a flying magical beast, it would take at least five full days to travel there from the imperial capital.
But Ye Chen wasn't one to waste precious time.
Inside the spacious, private cabin of the flying beast....specially arranged for him by the top brass of the transport company due to his status as the direct disciple of Yunlan Sect's master....Ye Chen sat cross-legged on a wooden bed.
With a calm breath, he retrieved a third-grade magic core from his storage ring and held it steadily between his palms.
He closed his eyes and activated the Yuan-Swallowing Technique.
In an instant, a dark, mysterious aura swirled around his hands.
A silent yet powerful devouring force surged out, wrapping around the magic core like a whirlpool in the void.
Bit by bit, threads of pure Dou Qi were drawn from the core, absorbed through his palms, and circulated throughout his body.
The energy traveled along his meridians, reinforcing his bones, nourishing his blood, and strengthening his physical form.
For five days, Ye Chen remained in this state of cultivation.
Then came a shout from the flying beast's deck:
