The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity-Chapter 481 - 479: Come Home with Me
Seeing Qin Zhao wake up, Chu Yan held her tightly.
His eyes felt sore again.
Qin Zhao did not push him away, but her expression was complex.
The Netherworld Butterfly flew into her forehead, and though she had fainted, her Divine Sense could still perceive the outside world.
She had heard their conversation when Luo Han had made a request of Chu Yan.
"Does it hurt?"
Chu Yan loosened his grip slightly, and she pulled his left hand toward her.
"It’s okay."
He tried to pull his hand back, not wanting her to see.
Qin Zhao still forcefully pulled it over, and his left hand appeared uninjured.
He had long ago used a spell to restore his little finger.
"I told you, it was okay long ago."
Seeing her forehead frown tightly, Chu Yan couldn’t help but comfort her.
Qin Zhao did not speak, just stared at his hand, her fingertips rubbing against his little finger.
It indeed seemed to be healed.
But her master had told her before that an immortal’s Divine Bone could only grow once.
Missing such a small piece, would it impact his cultivation?
Thinking this, Qin Zhao’s eyes also turned somewhat sore.
Chu Yan, however, did not care and instead gently placed his right hand on her lower abdomen, his usually cold Phoenix Eyes now carrying a hint of curiosity, his gaze much softer than usual.
Vaguely, he could feel the little life inside her belly.
"Will you come back with me, please?"
Chu Yan looked at Qin Zhao with hopeful eyes.
Probably fearing her disagreement, he quickly added, "After pregnancy, the mother might experience many uncomfortable symptoms; you’ll need someone by your side. Once the child is born, I will leave you."
Qin Zhao still did not speak.
Chu Yan thought of their previous conflicts and grew even more nervous.
"After the child is born, I will personally go to the Immortal Realm and have the master’s true form explain everything clearly. I have never done such things, I have a clear conscience."
She still did not react.
"Zhaozhao, just trust me this one time."
Chu Yan, getting anxious, held her hand tightly, his eyes turning red.
"Just this once will be enough."
Qin Zhao pursed her lips and then said, "This is the last time I will believe your words. If you deceive me again, I won’t mind if the baby lacks a father."
He hugged her and wept again.
Chu Yan felt he must have committed too many misdeeds, which was why Qin Zhao was sent to punish him.
However, he was utterly helpless with her.
"The baby cannot be without a father," Chu Yan said softly. "It’s not good for the child’s development; who knows, he might grow up to be psychologically twisted."
"Do you talk about your own child this way?"
Qin Zhao instantly felt displeased, and Chu Yan quickly shut his mouth.
After a long while, he finally said, "I... I’m just worried about his development."
"You grew up without a dad around, didn’t you turn out just fine?"
"I am not fine at all; I am very unhappy."
His normally cold features drooped slightly.
Qin Zhao paused, thinking of his past life.
According to the tales of the Canglan Realm, Chu Yan’s childhood had been unhappy; otherwise, he wouldn’t have become an Evil Cultivator.
And this guy had indeed turned out crooked; he was no good.
Qin Zhao did not continue on this topic, impatiently saying to him, "Well, aren’t you going to take me home? Are we supposed to keep living in this cave?"
"Oh, oh, oh, home!"
Chu Yan finally snapped out of it, hurriedly picking up his wife and heading home with her.
Before long, they had returned to their apartment in Imperial City.
Chu Yan wanted to put her on the bed.
His cautious movements, a bit exaggerated, as if she were some fragile porcelain.
His handsome face was very serious, his jawline tense.
"Can you put me down now?"
He had been holding her for quite some time, his hand still cushioning Qin Zhao’s body.
"No, the baby might get dizzy."
"My child won’t be that frail."
"It’s okay to be a little frail, I will definitely protect her!"
He wanted his child
to become the happiest little princess in the world!
Seeing Chu Yan’s silly grin, Qin Zhao couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
Chu Yan tucked Qin Zhao in with a small blanket, then squatted by the bed, anxiously staring at Qin Zhao’s stomach.
"Zhaozhao, what name should we choose?"
"I don’t know."
"Should it be your surname or mine?"
"Whatever."
Chu Yan couldn’t think of a good name at the moment, feeling he needed to look up some references later to find a beautiful and meaningful name for his daughter.
"Right, do we need to buy things for the baby?"
Only when Chu Yan brought it up did Qin Zhao realize it.
She hadn’t been pregnant for long, and had been feeling unwell lately, not giving it much thought.
"Right? What should we buy?"
"A baby crib, clothes for the child, formula and bottles, toys, we need to buy a lot of things."
Chu Yan counted on his fingers.
"Let’s talk about it tomorrow, I want to go to sleep."
Qin Zhao was too lazy to think anymore, having encountered many things today, and she felt sleepy again.
Seeing her fall asleep quickly, Chu Yan tiptoed out of the bedroom, careful not to wake her.
Upon entering the living room outside, his eyes immediately darkened.
There was only one place in the underworld where the Netherworld Butterfly existed.
The Endless Abyss.
It was where the Heavy Punishment Ghosts were imprisoned, rarely visited by any ghosts, and hardly anyone could tame the Netherworld Butterfly.
During the time Chu Yan turned into bones, he had been guarding the Endless Abyss. He had interacted with the Netherworld Butterfly, so he knew how to lure the Netherworld Butterfly out of Qin Zhao’s body.
If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn’t have been able to detect the Netherworld Butterfly inside Qin Zhao.
Luo Han had obtained a finger bone and swiftly released Qin Zhao but left the Netherworld Butterfly inside her, planning to use it for something later.
Chu Yan could tolerate him scheming against himself, but could not tolerate him harming Qin Zhao.
While Qin Zhao was sleeping, Chu Yan made a trip back to the underworld, to the former Endless Abyss.
Entering the Abyss, he found the location of the Netherworld Butterfly.
There sat a golden skeleton, amidst a blue glow.
Special custom-made chains bound the skeleton’s limbs.
"Heh."
As Chu Yan approached, the skeleton let out a scornful laugh.
Chu Yan stopped his steps, looking at the Netherworld Butterfly fluttering near the skeleton.
"It seems a few Netherworld Butterflies are missing."
"This place is so big, how would I know where they’ve gone."
Golden Bone said nonchalantly.
Chu Yan narrowed his eyes, suddenly delivering a strike toward the Golden Bone.
Golden Bone, along with the chains, were sent flying, but he struggled vigorously, trying to return to his original seated position. Unfortunately, Chu Yan increased his mana, sending him flying completely away from the spot.
Going to where the Golden Bone was seated, he saw a glimpse of silver light on the shattered stone.
"Stop!"
As Chu Yan was about to lift the shattered stones, Golden Bone quickly returned to stop him.
His entire mana being restrained, he was no match for Chu Yan and was thrown away again.
"You...! You brat!"
Just as he finished cursing, Chu Yan found a dagger beneath the shattered stones.
"Who gave this to you?"
Wrapped around the dagger was a peculiar aura accompanied by a strong devouring force.
This special aura could help the dagger cut through the chains binding the Golden Bone.
