Douluo: Marrying a Wife to Become a God, Having Children for Blessings

The guest room of the inn.

Tang Yuehua stood by the window, gazing quietly at the bright moon, her mind filled with endless thoughts.

Tomorrow, they would depart.

She couldn't quite put into words what she felt for Zhou Yi.

Tonight, sleep eluded her.

Her mind was restless and chaotic.

Unbidden, the scene from the mountain cave with Zhou Yi surfaced in her mind.

That awe-inspiring sword strike, exuding unparalleled grace!

That peerless spear technique, showcasing his boundless prowess!

One memory after another played out.

Like slides from a lantern, they flashed vividly in the depths of her consciousness.

"Legend has it that the moon houses a celestial maiden..."

Tang Yuehua lifted her gaze, her beautiful eyes locked onto the moon. Her crystalline pupils reflected its crescent form, as if trying to peer through and uncover whether such a maiden truly resided there.

"Could there really be a celestial maiden..."

Suddenly, Tang Yuehua noticed a shadow on the moon, silhouetted against its glow. The figure moved through the sky, stepping on air with an ethereal grace, like an immortal descending to the mortal realm—elegant, carefree, and breathtakingly divine.

In the next moment—

Tang Yuehua's pupils constricted. The shadow grew larger, and she faintly discerned it was not a celestial maiden, but a man.

"So handsome..."

The thought escaped her, but Tang Yuehua quickly snapped back to her senses. However, by then, the figure had already arrived within ten meters of her.

The speed was astonishing, almost inconceivable.

"Ah—"

Tang Yuehua gasped, instinctively believing she had encountered another scoundrel.

After all, why else would someone visit her so late at night?

Wasn't that the most logical conclusion?

Yet, just as she was about to cry out, she realized the figure wasn't a stranger—it was Zhou Yi.

"Yuehua, what's wrong?"

Outside, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao's deep, urgent voices suddenly resounded, brimming with both concern and ferocity.

After the recent incident where Tang Yuehua had been abducted, they were now on high alert, vigilant to the extreme.

They feared that Tang Yuehua might face another attack.

However, given the late hour, they hesitated to barge in immediately, mindful of the possibility that Tang Yuehua might already be asleep.

If she weren't dressed, the situation could become awkward.

That said, if Tang Yuehua didn't respond or something seemed amiss, they wouldn't hesitate to break the door down without delay.

"I'm fine!"

Tang Yuehua quickly steadied her emotions. Although Zhou Yi's unexpected arrival surprised her, she had no desire for Tang Xiao and Tang Hao to learn about her connection to him.

She called out toward the door, "Just now, a rat scurried by and startled me. Everything's fine now!"

"Ah, I see!"

"As long as you're alright!"

"Yuehua, get some rest early. If anything happens, just call out—we're right next door."

Tang Xiao and Tang Hao seemed to relax, their footsteps gradually fading away, indicating they had indeed left.

"You..."

Tang Yuehua turned to Zhou Yi, intending to speak, but before she could say a word, he leaned in and kissed her forcefully.

"Mmph—"

Her delicate body shuddered as her eyes widened.

Although they had already...

That had been under special circumstances.

Tonight was different...

She reached out, trying to push him away, but he didn't budge.

A long while later—

Feeling as if she were about to suffocate, Tang Yuehua noticed Zhou Yi signaling toward the door, motioning for her to stay quiet. He finally released her and leaned close to her ear, whispering softly:

"Your brothers are still outside."

Tang Yuehua froze.

She quickly understood.

Her earlier explanation hadn't fully convinced Tang Xiao and Tang Hao. After all, they might suspect she was being coerced and speaking under duress.

However, in such situations, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao couldn't be certain.

Rather than barging in directly, they had pretended to leave, likely lingering outside to monitor the situation.

If there truly were an intruder, this tactic would lull the culprit into a false sense of security, giving them an opportunity to strike when least expected.

Zhou Yi, of course, had discerned Tang Xiao and Tang Hao's intentions.

With a faint sigh, he thought to himself:

"It seems the Clear Sky Twins aren't entirely devoid of wit!"

Thanks to his cultivation of the [Sacred Heart Sutra], Zhou Yi's soul was extraordinarily powerful, his senses exceedingly sharp. Otherwise, he wouldn't have noticed Tang Xiao and Tang Hao hiding outside, feigning their departure.

If he hadn't detected them, and they burst in with their massive hammers while he and Tang Yuehua were in the midst of something... Well, that would have been—

Awkward situation!

"Don't make a sound," Tang Yuehua whispered.

Not wanting her entanglement with Zhou Yi to be discovered, she gestured for him to hide inside the room. Quietly, she approached the door and suddenly flung it open.

Bang! Bang!

Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, who had been leaning against the door, trying to eavesdrop, were caught off guard and tumbled into the room.

"Intruders! Prepare to—"

Before they could react, they saw Tang Yuehua standing before them. Her face was expressionless, and she glared down at them from her superior position.

"Uh..."

The two brothers looked awkward, their previously imposing demeanor deflating instantly.

"What are you two doing here?" Tang Yuehua demanded coldly.

"Ah, well... We were concerned there might be an intruder threatening you, so we... we..."

"Right, Yuehua! Since you're fine, we're relieved."

"We'll be going now. Rest well!"

Tang Xiao and Tang Hao scrambled to their feet, stammered an excuse, and fled in embarrassment.

What a humiliating turn of events.

Since Tang Yuehua had personally come to the door, it was clear there was no danger to her. Reassured, the two brothers retreated hastily.

After watching them leave, Tang Yuehua shut the door. A faint fragrance accompanied her as she approached Zhou Yi, her graceful figure coming into view.

"What are you doing here? That last time was just an accident. Let's put it behind us—pretend it never happened," she said, her voice trembling slightly, as if trying to escape the situation.

Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Yi pulled her into his arms.

Thinking of Tang Xiao and Tang Hao in the adjacent room, she panicked and quickly covered her lips with her hands.

"What are you afraid of?" Zhou Yi teased, looking at the flustered and embarrassed Tang Yuehua. "Even if they find out, I'll just marry you. Problem solved."

His tone was confident and nonchalant. He genuinely didn't seem to care about being discovered.

"No, they can't know!" Tang Yuehua said urgently, her face tense. "You promised me that until I agreed, you wouldn't reveal our relationship!"

"Whatever makes you happy."

Seeing Tang Yuehua acting like a guilty child sneaking around, Zhou Yi chuckled and effortlessly scooped her up, striding toward the bed.

"What are you doing?" Tang Yuehua's heart pounded like a frantic deer. Her voice wavered as she tried to remain composed, but her anxiety was evident.

"I missed you."

The simple declaration left Tang Yuehua momentarily stunned.

She couldn't quite articulate her feelings for Zhou Yi.

It was confusing.

Unclear.

But deep down, she didn't resist his closeness. Still, her natural reserve as a woman made her push gently against his chest. "We can't do this. Last time was a mistake, and... and they might hear us!"

"So, you're saying as long as they don't hear us, it's fine?" Zhou Yi smirked, his gaze teasing as he watched her cheeks turn crimson.

"No! That's not what I meant!" Tang Yuehua stammered, trying to explain, but Zhou Yi didn't give her the chance.

"I don't mind. If you don't want them to find out, it's up to you." Zhou Yi found her nervous reaction amusing, even thrilling.

"Scoundrel!"

Tang Yuehua was exasperated but dared not raise her voice, fearing that Tang Xiao and Tang Hao would hear them.

Yet Zhou Yi seemed to find her anxiety even more entertaining, spurred on by her attempts to stay quiet.
