Chapter 30: Why Not Join Him Too?
[Translated By Divinity]
Seeing Su Wanqing crying uncontrollably, Lu Chengfeng stood there awkwardly, unsure of what to do.
Luo Suyi stepped forward, squatted down beside Su Wanqing, gently patted her back, and whispered in her ear, “Don’t cry. That man doesn’t understand your feelings. Crying will only hurt you.”
“Stay here for now, and let’s have a good chat between us sisters.”
Hearing Luo Suyi’s suggestive words, Su Wanqing felt the most hidden corner of her heart being touched. She was both flustered and shy, and her crying stopped abruptly.
Lu Chengfeng saw that Su Wanqing stopped crying after Luo Suyi whispered a few words to her, and he couldn’t help but feel relieved.
He looked around. The once lively Bixia Peak now had only five disciples and two elderly women left.
Lu Chengfeng decided to call everyone over and said, “It’s rare for us all to be together today. With the chaos in the sect and the earth-shattering events, who knows what will happen next. It’s fate that we’re gathered here, so let’s light a fire at the Azure Cloud Terrace, have a feast, and drink to our heart’s content.”
Zhou Tong said, “Since you’re having a gathering with your fellow disciples, I won’t intrude. If you need any help, Junior Brother, just come find me at Black Crane Peak.”
Lu Chengfeng grabbed his arm. “Senior Brother, what are you talking about? There’s no way I’m letting you leave. You saved me from danger today. We won’t let anyone leave until we’ve had our fill of drinks.”
As he spoke, he instructed the elderly women, “I remember there are two mountain goats and a large goose in the courtyard, along with three jars of Drunken Bamboo Brew. Go get some firewood and start a fire.”
Lu Chengfeng pulled Zhou Tong to sit down and beckoned to the others. “We’ll have roasted goat meat and braised goose in an iron pot, paired with fine wine. Let’s drink and feast to our heart’s content today.”
“Hahaha!”
Hearing his words, everyone became excited. They didn’t wait for the elderly women and started gathering firewood and setting up a bonfire. They slaughtered the mountain goat on the spot, skinned it, and removed the blood. In no time, it was roasting over the fire.
The elderly women were busy stewing the goose, while Li Mofeng and Lu Chengfeng brought over three jars of good wine and seven or eight bowls. They didn’t bother with wine cups and sat directly on the ground, filling their bowls with wine.
Lu Chengfeng didn’t say any sentimental words. Everyone simply clinked their bowls and drank heartily.
Although Luo Suyi and Su Wanqing were women, one had cultivated the Jade Maiden Pure Heart Art for many years, and the other was from a distinguished family background. Their physical constitutions were not comparable to ordinary women.
They also drank a bowl of wine, their pretty faces flushed, looking even more radiant under the firelight.
Luo Suyi and Su Wanqing had lived together on Bixia Peak for many years. They were close in age and naturally closer than others. So Luo Suyi knew a thing or two about Su Wanqing’s difficulties and thoughts.
She took Su Wanqing’s hand and whispered in her ear, “Wanqing, I know what’s on your mind. But who could have predicted such a twist of fate, leading to the current situation?”
“I’m truly grateful that the person I met is a good man, considerate and caring. I often thank the heavens for their blessings.”
“If I were to give him up to you, I wouldn’t be able to bear it.”
Su Wanqing became anxious upon hearing this. “Sister, what are you saying? I would never dream of competing with you…”
Luo Suyi interrupted with a smile. “Silly sister, of course I know you wouldn’t. I’m just speaking from my heart. I also know a bit about your situation at home. If you don’t feel wronged, why not join him too? We can be sisters, regardless of who’s the wife or concubine. We can just live together happily.”
“What do you think?”
She wasn’t testing anything or being insincere. It was just that she had always had a worry in her heart.
Cultivating the Jade Maiden Pure Heart Art allowed her to maintain her youthful appearance and have jade-like skin, especially beneficial for intimacy. However, it also had a drawback.
It prevented her from having children!
Luo Suyi hadn’t thought much about it at first, but as she had more time to herself after the recent events, she felt increasingly conflicted. Especially when those disciples were being dismissed and Lu Chengfeng said, “The greatest unfilial act is to have no descendants,” it tormented her deeply.
She was a wife, yet she couldn’t bear children for him. How could she truly be considered a wife?
At best, she was just a plaything!
This thought made Luo Suyi feel melancholic and helpless. She had already damaged her foundation by cultivating the Jade Maiden Pure Heart Art. Even if she abandoned the technique now, she wouldn’t be able to conceive.
So, seeing Su Wanqing crying like a heartbroken person, she had an idea. After all, they had grown up together on the mountain and knew each other well.
Moreover, Su Wanqing came from a prestigious family, was gentle and beautiful, elegant and composed, and her martial arts skills were quite impressive. In a way, she was even more suitable to be the main wife than Luo Suyi herself.
Although there was a tinge of bitterness and sadness in her heart, when she spoke those words, they were sincere, without any falsehood.
Su Wanqing didn’t expect her to say such a thing. She was completely stunned, and it took her a while to react. Subconsciously, she glanced at Lu Chengfeng, who was drinking not far away.
He was dressed in a black brocade robe, his face as handsome as jade, his figure tall and straight. Even as he gulped down wine, he exuded an extraordinary aura. There was a sharpness between his brows, like a noble swordsman, carefree and unrestrained, with an innate noble air.
As she watched, she suddenly lowered her head, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Luo Suyi immediately understood. This young woman’s heart was already swayed, but she had been hiding her feelings, not daring to express them.
“In that case, I’ll go talk to him. I don’t see any reason why he would refuse.” Luo Suyi held her slender hand and sighed. “You, a young lady from a prominent family, should have had a proper marriage proposal and wedding ceremony. Now, you’re being wronged.”
Su Wanqing wanted to say something, but her heart was pounding, her mind in a daze, unable to utter a single word.
Lu Chengfeng, unaware that his wife was planning to find him a concubine, was enjoying drinks with his fellow disciples. He took the golden-brown roasted lamb ribs off the fire, eating meat and drinking wine, laughing and chatting merrily.
As they reveled, the sky unknowingly turned dark. They continued until all three jars of wine were empty and the two mountain goats and the goose were devoured. Only then did the merrymaking end.
Zhou Tong, having drunk quite a bit, found a courtyard on the mountain and settled in for the night.
Lu Chengfeng was helped back to his room by Luo Suyi, who attentively wiped his face and hands. She then removed his robe and boots, washed his feet, and fed him a bowl of honey water before cleaning up a bit and getting into bed herself.
As soon as she lay down, Lu Chengfeng pulled her into his arms. “My dear wife, let your husband get close to you.”
Luo Suyi couldn’t resist his embrace. Just smelling his scent made her legs weak. But at this moment, she raised her head slightly, her eyes reddening, and asked, “You told Senior Brother Zhou that you encountered danger on your way back and almost lost your life.”
“I saw wounds on your right hand and back, but you didn’t mention a word when you returned.”
“What do you take me for?”
Seeing her crystal tears rolling down her cheeks, Lu Chengfeng instantly sobered up. He quickly embraced her with heartache and comforted his beloved wife. “They’re just minor flesh wounds, nothing serious. Besides, I’m back safe and sound, aren’t I?”
