Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All - Chapter 402
402 At Least You Know Your Place
Shangguan Yun’er didn’t wait for Dong Xi to sleep on the bed before she heard Dong Xi say this. Shangguan Yun’er was stunned.
After that, Shangguan Yun’er regained her senses and said, “At least you know your place.”
Shangguan Yun’er got up and walked towards the bed, followed by the servant girl Little Yue. After serving the young miss to bed, she glanced at Dong Xi.
Little Yue frowned and quickly stepped forward. She said in a low voice, “Young Master, please wait a moment. This servant will go and get you another bedding.”
“No need, I’ll be fine outside,” said Dong Xi.
Little Yue was anxious when she heard this. Little Yue said, “No, Young Miss has already told Old Master that tonight is the wedding night. If you go out, how will Young Miss explain to Old Master tomorrow?”
Dong Xi glanced at the bed covered by the gauze curtain. She was certain that this Shangguan Yun’er was not sleeping at all.
Who could be so magnanimous that she could sleep with a man who was more powerful than her in the room?
Dong Xi retracted her gaze and pretended to sigh, “Young Miss, since you don’t like me, why don’t you reject me directly?”
Little Yue glared at Dong Xi and said, “Young Miss is already giving you a status. Why are there so many questions?”
Dong Xi sighed softly. This servant girl was quite tight-lipped.
“Forget it. You don’t need to get a blanket. I’ll just meditate for a night,” said Dong Xi.
After saying that, Dong Xi directly sat down on the ground. Little Yue was worried that the Young Miss would be alone with Dong Xi, so she stood at the side.
“Little Yue, if you stay here, do you think Shangguan Patriarch will think that I’m bringing you to enjoy the wedding night?” Dong Xi said helplessly.
Little Yue was stunned for a moment, but she quickly regained her senses. She glared at Dong Xi angrily and said, “What nonsense are you spouting!”
Dong Xi opened her eyes and smiled.
“No matter what I do, I’m still the family’s Young Master and a cultivator. Why don’t you try being impudent?” Dong Xi said. “I can’t touch Shangguan Yun’er, but do you think I can’t touch a little maid like you?”
Little Yue’s heart skipped a beat as she suddenly had an idea.
This time… Could it be that they had invited a wolf into the house?
In the end, Little Yue walked out. Young Miss had a protective treasure on her, but Little Yue did not.
Moreover, Dong Xi was right. If Little Yue was here, Old Master would definitely be suspicious.
Little Yue left the room and closed the door. She turned around and saw Little Ya not far away.
“Is Miss already asleep?” asked Little Ya.
Little Yue nodded. Xiaoya said, “Then I’ll report to the Old Master.”
Little Yue looked at Little Ya’s back and sighed.
…
Dong Xi sat on the ground. She felt that it was a great loss that she could not find any moonlight for the entire night. She could not cultivate with moonlight.
However, her current cultivation speed did not seem to be very slow. She did not know if it was related to the tempering of her meridians previously.
After a night, there was finally some movement on the bed. Dong Xi opened her eyes.
She saw a slender hand lift the veil, revealing a beautiful face that could topple countries.
Dong Xi pursed her lips. She was in a good mood.
The ancients were right!
Just by looking at Shangguan Yun’er’s face, one could tell that Shangguan Yun’er had not slept that night.
Shangguan Yun’er was only a mortal. Although she looked young, she was already in her forties.
The tiredness of not sleeping for a night was apparent on Shangguan Yun’er’s face, like a pearl covered in dust.
Dong Xi stood up and casually cast a cleaning spell on Shangguan Yun’er to make her look more energetic.
“Can’t sleep?” asked Dong Xi.
Shangguan Yun’er sat by the bed and shook her head. Shangguan Yun’er said, “It’s good to be a cultivator. You haven’t slept for a night, but you’re still in such a good state. I’m only a little over 40, but you’re already over 100 years old…”
“I’m over 100 years old, yet I’m still living under someone else’s roof. Although my wife’s life is short, she’s still living a life that makes others envious,” Dong Xi consoled.
Shangguan Yun’er looked at Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun’er frowned and said, “What did you call me?”
“Of course I called you ‘wife’. In the eyes of others, you’re already my wife,” said Dong Xi.
“Forget it,” said Shangguan Yun’er with a smile, “If that’s the case, they can rest assured.”
Dong Xi smiled and said, “Father doesn’t have to worry anymore, and you can try to rely on me. Maybe I’m more reliable than you think?”
Shangguan Yun’er took a glance at Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun’er said, “Are you reliable?”
Dong Xi nodded. Shangguan Yun’er said, “Forget it. You only see that I’m doing well on the surface. You don’t know that I’m actually very upset. If you can take me away from here one day, perhaps I’ll think that you’re more reliable.”
