Chapter 163 Mother-Daughter Heart-Linked Jade Pendant
He never expected her to ask this question.
Luo Mingyue didn't expect it either.
She called him brother and wanted him to hold her...
Luo Mingyue secretly glanced at Xiao Yun, a mix of charm and sorrow in her expression.
At this moment, Xiao Yun understood her feelings, but he also didn't want to disappoint Feng Wushuang. This mother-daughter duo truly left him feeling a bit helpless.
"Why can't you be a bit more proactive as a brother?" Luo Mingyue suddenly realized that continuing to hold back like this was unfair to Feng Wushuang.
"Wushuang..." Xiao Yun felt as if he heard a divine call, quickly opening his arms. Feng Wushuang flew into his embrace like a bird, crystalline tears streaming down her face.
"Brother, even if we are fated to be apart, I will deeply engrave your shadow in my heart!" Feng Wushuang buried her head in his chest, murmuring like she was in a dream.
Even if we are fated to be apart,
I will deeply engrave your shadow
in my heart...
At this moment, Feng Wushuang's words felt like a knife, carving into Xiao Yun's heart.
A wave of inexplicable pain caused his facial muscles to twitch several times.
Aside from the deep guilt he felt towards her, he was at a loss for words.
Years ago, after she had slapped him, he had made her suffer such pain. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Xiao Yun gently stroked her fragrant shoulder and said, "It's all my fault!"
Is it all his fault? What did he do to Wushuang?
This question reached Luo Mingyue's ears, leaving her puzzled. She rolled her eyes and quickly shot him a suspicious glance...
Xiao Yun instantly felt the heat of that gaze and hurriedly released Feng Wushuang from his embrace, offering an apologetic smile as he sighed with deep emotion, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have appeared in this city; otherwise, Wushuang wouldn't..."
"Not at all," Luo Mingyue replied, immediately relieved. "If it weren't for you, Wushuang might not even be alive. We mother and daughter are grateful to you!"
"Uh, please don't say that..." Xiao Yun's face flushed as he tried to be humble. Suddenly remembering something, he took out two jade pendants from his pocket. He handed one, which had Feng Wushuang's name engraved on it, to her and said:
"Wushuang, you're going on a long journey. I don't have anything else to give you, but although this jade pendant isn't valuable, it's a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it!"
He then gave the other pendant, which had Luo Mingyue's name engraved on it, to her.
Luo Mingyue took the pendant and saw her name: Luo Mingyue.
Both mother and daughter were taken aback, looking at Xiao Yun in confusion.
It was clear that Feng Wushuang was leaving home; it made sense for him to give her a souvenir. Why did both of them receive one?
In fact, these pendants were just ordinary jade, not very expensive on the market. Little did they know that Xiao Yun had processed them specially after buying them on the way.
Especially for Feng Wushuang's pendant, he had added three layers of protective charms using True Spirit energy and concealed three wind balls inside. A single girl traveling alone inevitably faced some risks, and Xiao Yun had always felt guilty about her. Now he could only make amends in this way.
"Wushuang, the pendant I'm giving you has three layers of protective charms. If you encounter someone trying to bully you, it will automatically activate its defense mechanism to help you escape."
"Ah, Brother Xiao, does this pendant really have such a magical function?" Feng Wushuang asked in surprise.
Xiao Yun smiled lightly and nodded, "Yes. However, these two pendants still lack the final step. If two drops of blood from both of you are placed on them, they will be even more perfect!"
The mother and daughter almost spoke in unison: "How do we do that? We'll follow your instructions."
"Alright, just watch me!"
Xiao Yun, as if performing a magic trick, suddenly had a Silver Needle in his hand.
Whoosh,
Whoosh!
He pricked each of the mother and daughter's fingers, then instructed them to let their blood drip onto each other's jade pendants.
Clink!
The blood dropped onto the jade pendant, producing a crisp sound, flashing a faint light before vanishing in an instant.
Xiao Yun extended his hand and covered both jade pendants with a layer of Heavenly Spirit Essence.
After a moment, Xiao Yun said, "Alright, this is called 'Mother and Daughter Connected at Heart.' Remember, even though you two will be far apart in the future, if either of you encounters significant danger, just tightly grasp this jade pendant you wear, and the other person will immediately sense it and rush to your side as quickly as possible."
To others, this might sound like a fairy tale, utterly absurd. However, the mother and daughter absolutely believed what Xiao Yun said; they had already experienced his miraculous abilities, so his words were naturally beyond doubt.
These two jade pendants were certainly not ordinary gifts for them!
The mother and daughter carefully stored their respective jade pendants.
Around three in the afternoon, Luo Mingyue received a call from Cheng Hu, saying he was on his way to take Feng Wushuang to the airport. Xiao Yun didn't want to cause any more misunderstandings with that fool, so he left the Feng Family early.
Luo Mingyue accompanied Xiao Yun to the door. As they were about to part ways, she sighed lightly and hesitated before swallowing her words.
"What is it?" Xiao Yun stopped and asked.
Luo Mingyue replied, "Actually, if you just ask Feng Wushuang to stay in front of her, she definitely won't leave Galaxy City."
"Let her go," unexpectedly, after a brief contemplation, Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Perhaps going to a new place will give her a broader space and truly bring her miracles..."
As if joking, would Xiao Yun dare to openly ask Feng Wushuang to stay?
As soon as he opened his mouth, in Feng Wushuang's mind, Xiao Yun equated to having feelings for him.
If that were the case, what exactly was he in between this mother and daughter?
Luo Mingyue understood Xiao Yun's feelings well. Moreover, what he said made sense. She silently nodded, but felt a bit sour inside, trying hard not to let the tears fall in front of Xiao Yun.
The streets were bustling with people and cars, just as lively and prosperous as usual.
Watching Xiao Yun disappear into the crowd, a feeling of loneliness that he had never experienced before surged in Luo Mingyue's heart, like a wisp of smoke rising at sunset...
...
As soon as Xiao Yun returned to his villa, he received a call from the somewhat scatterbrained Niu Tian.
"Doctor Xiao, Artist Xiao, Xiao the Hero, Brother Xiao... I have some incredible news to report! My wife woke up! Can you guess what her first words to me were? She actually said... she said: I love you—oh my god, she loves me..." Niu Tian was so excited that he stuttered, his voice choked with emotion, almost incoherent.
Xiao Yun chuckled and said, "No need to be polite between brothers. Uh, let's go out for drinks sometime!"
"No, no, no! How can it be the other way around? I should treat you..."
"There's no need for that..."
"Uh-uh, no way! I must treat you! You are my savior, my god, my reborn parents, my great lord... uh..."
"Alright, we'll keep in touch later!" Goodness, now he's calling me a great lord too. Xiao Yun didn't dare to drag it out any longer and decisively hung up the phone.
That evening when Nie Xiaoqian returned from work, Xiao Yun told her about going to the Provincial Capital the next day and mentioned that he might not be back that night.
He didn't say he was accompanying Tang Yan, and Nie Xiaoqian didn't ask what he was going to do in the Provincial Capital. In her mind, whatever her brother did had its reasons; everything he did was right. She wouldn't interfere with anything he did, just as she wouldn't interfere with his interactions with any woman.
Originally, Xiao Yun wanted to get intimate with Nie Xiaoqian that night. However, after scanning with his Spiritual Sense, he noticed that her "good time" had arrived. He had no choice but to give up and stayed alone in his bedroom, smoking a cigarette while worrying about Nie Xiaoqian's safety since he would be staying out overnight.
After sitting cross-legged on the bed to meditate for a while, he went to the villa entrance to set up a formation around the villa to prevent thugs from intruding.
Setting up the formation requires a proper arrangement first.
This arrangement consists of five small flags, each corresponding to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. By gathering the power of heaven and earth on these flags, a powerful formation can be formed.
Xiao Yun used talismans to create five small flags of different colors. With a wave of his hands, the five-colored flags flew into the air and hovered in front of his chest, each emitting a distinct aura: the energy of wood in the east, water in the north, metal in the west, fire in the south, and earth at the center.
As the energies of the five elements converged, Xiao Yun exhaled a breath of True Qi onto the flags. The flags erupted with a brilliant light that shot up into the sky, responding to the falling lightning with a swift sound.
Finally, he inserted the five small flags into hidden spots at different positions around the villa; the formation was now set.
The greatest advantage of this formation is its ability to automatically discern incoming threats. Anyone with malicious intent or murderous aura who approaches will be ensnared by an Aura that traps them within the formation, much like a blind mouse trapped in a cage, unable to escape.
Once a formation is set up, its duration and energy level are related to the cultivator's own abilities. According to Xiao Yun's formation, it could last for at least three months and would pose no problem against ordinary Earth-level experts from Ancient Martial Arts Sects.
After completing the formation, it was nearly midnight. Sweating profusely from his efforts, Xiao Yun took a shower. When he returned to his bedroom, his eyes widened in shock as he nearly dropped his jaw.
On his bed lay a completely naked woman!
For the first time, Xiao Yun discovered a naked woman in his room; it was Little Bell who had just transformed into human form.
But this time, who could this woman in his room be? The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
