Chapter 138 - Crystal Shrimp Dumplings

Together, the two of them moved back to the mansion. They had bought many snacks and items throughout their walk, and while they were not tired, their mood had been ruined by encountering Bai Mulan and the Crown Prince.

Although it had caused their mood to plummet somewhat, it quickly turned good again, as they walked around hand in hand and felt each other’s warmth.

As they returned to the mansion, Xiao Long finally woke up again, rubbing its face against Li Moyun’s neck, before it flew onto Bai Rouyun’s shoulder and looked at her with big and pitiful eyes.

Bai Rouyun was not a biological mother, but the look within the little dragon’s eyes reminded her of Xiao Bao and Xiao Jin when they were looking at herbs, and she instantly guessed that the small beast was hungry.

It had hatched not long ago, and it had a great appetite. Especially after tasting Bai Rouyun’s craft, it felt that this food was something that it could always eat, no matter how full it felt.

Even though it was Li Moyun’s contracted beast, it had abandoned him for the sake of ingratiating itself with Bai Rouyun. Li Moyun could not help but rub his nose embarrassedly.

Was this the same beast which had wholly ignored Bai Rouyun while being in her Primal Chaos Dimension, but acted like a mad creature when it encountered him?

Things had changed in less than a day. One truly had to admit that the power of good food was impossible to beat.

Bai Rouyun shook her head in helplessness and moved to the kitchen. She began cooking again, and this time Xiao Long did not move away from the countertop. It observed every single movement she made with eyes wide-open and full of curiosity.

She did not cook a big meal this time as she had for lunch. Instead, she made many snacks. She was especially having fun making crystal shrimp dumplings. These were extremely enticing, their skin was thin and translucent so that the filling could be seen inside, and Bai Rouyun was using a special kind of shrimp that could cultivate. Hence, the food tasted even better because it was nourished by the heaven and earth essence.

Even Li Moyun, who did not need food to sustain himself, was enticed by the look of these glistening dumplings, and he felt his mouth watering in anticipation.

Bai Rouyun was aware that these crystal shrimp dumplings were incredibly delicious, so she had cooked a whole mountain of them. Xiao Bao could not leave the Primal Chaos Dimension as things were now, Bai Rouyun was simply too weak to let him leave, and Xiao Jin was not going to leave either, as she felt sorry for her brother, and thus Bai Rouyun planned on bringing some of the dumplings into the dimension with her, to share them with her two adorable children.

Li Moyun could guess her plan, and he smiled gently. He truly liked that Bai Rouyun was so considerate towards those whom she had allowed to walk into her heart, and he felt quite relieved.

Although she had been killed before, she had not lost her humanity or her gentleness. She was ruthless when the situation called for it, but she was also sweet and gentle when she could.

Usually, Li Moyun would never have considered another person attractive, but Bai Rouyun’s personality was simply impossible to resist.

He was not sure when it had begun, but she had invaded his heart swiftly, and taken root within, unable ever to let go again.

He had originally liked her when he saw her the first time within the bed chambers. Her confused and clueless expression, her hoarse and helpless voice. The first encounter with her had been impossible to forget for him.

It had directly shot into his heart, and as he spent more time with her, he found that it became harder and harder to get free, to the point that now he was a complete slave to his wife.

He was willing to change all his plans for her, he did not mind if his own plans were interrupted or slowed down; the only thing that mattered to him was for Bai Rouyun to be happy.

Li Moyun leaned against the doorframe into the kitchen as he observed Bai Rouyun cooking the crystal shrimp dumplings. He could not help but feel excited, happy, and fulfilled.

Initially, he had been questioning his life. He was not happy with the current situation he was in. He had carved his own place in the cultivation world by creating the Eternal Shadow Palace, but only he knew how many of his subordinates had been sacrificed in the process, and how cold and callous the other factions were.

His original thoughts were to gain enough strength to protect himself, but later his strength was just being increased due to him pursuing more power.

Now he had finally found a reason for him to try and become stronger. He wanted to ensure that he could always protect Bai Rouyun, that he could give her whatever she might want and need.

Bai Rouyun was not aware of Li Moyun’s thoughts. She was busy teasing Xiao Long, and from time to time, she would feed him some of the dumpling fillings, and then steam the dumplings one batch after another.

Xiao Long would snatch a freshly steamed dumpling as soon as a batch was done, and swallow it, not caring about the piping hot temperature.

The sight of Bai Rouyun and Xiao Long behaving like this was truly too adorable, and peace slowly settled in Li Moyun’s heart.

However, this was like the silence before the storm. To keep Bai Rouyun safe, and to ensure that no one would suddenly appear to threaten them, Li Moyun dared not relax for too long at a time. The Wushi Continent was bearing down on him with tremendous pressure.
