Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 145 - Seasons Come And Seasons Go

Li Moyun was not aware of the fact that Bai Rouyun already wished to start a family with him. He knew that he was in her heart, but he did not know to which extent.

If he had known, he would have dragged her into the bed and convinced her that having a child earlier was better than later. He loved Bai Rouyun to the degree that even he himself was unable to understand how important she was to him.

The two lived in their own loving world. Little Chu was not around to disturb them, and Qin Huiling had not appeared either.

Bai Rouyun did not go to the Institute these days, and normally it would affect her admission, but Bai Mulan pulled some strings, and the Blue Water Institute no longer dared question her permission to stay.

Although many were secretly unhappy, no one dared to go against Bai Mulan when he displayed his magnificence.

Rumors of Li Moyun’s appearance had also spread over the entire Canglan City, and thus everyone at the Institute knew that Bai Rouyun was busy with her husband.

Some felt it was understandable, while others scoffed and shook their heads, feeling that she was wasting her time.

Some were jealous, but the majority did not care about her matters.

The Crown Prince soon found that the majority were not interested, as he once again tried to sway public opinion to condemn Bai Rouyun and Li Moyun.

While not many cared about Bai Rouyun’s private life, they had not forgotten about the rumor he had spread during the signup process, and the reply that Bai Rouyun had given him.

It was no longer a secret that the Crown Prince of the Richu Empire was a petty and dishonest man, who had no real strength, but tried to besmirch others and their reputation.

The bustling and lively city soon heard the rumors about Li Moyun’s arrival. It was coincidentally around the same time as the Thousand Treasure Pavilion released news of the Marrow-Cleansing Pill.

Many, who had initially thought that Li Moyun had come for Bai Rouyun, changed their opinion, and looked at one another knowingly. They were sure that he had arrived for the sake of buying a Marrow-Cleansing Pill.

Rumor had it that it was crafted from an ancient formula, and that the pill was without impurities.

Such a treasure, everyone would want.

Finally, after a long wait, came the day of the auction. Bai Rouyun and Li Moyun had not purchased a ticket. The auction house had already prepared a good location for her as the owner of the item.

Bai Rouyun wrapped herself in her attire that she also wore the last time she entered the Thousand Treasure Pavilion. Li Moyun took on the silver mask, and his entire demeanor changed. Not many knew that he was the Eternal Shadow Lord, but the oppressive air around him, and the aura of a Violet ranked expert was truly enough for all to know that this was an expert from the apex of the continent.

The two walked hand in hand towards the square, which had been rented by the Thousand Treasure Pavilion.

Upon arrival, they found that there were already big queues of people waiting to be given entry, but both Bai Rouyun and Li Moyun were polite people, so instead of hurrying to the front of the line, they stood at the back, waiting their turn.

Bai Rouyun had her token to prove her identity, and bringing a person was no problem.

The queue was moving slowly. It was early in the morning when they arrived, and the sun had yet to rise on the horizon. The air was cold and humid, one could see a white mist when breathing out, but while they were standing in the queue, the sun began rising, and the temperature rose alongside it.

It was autumn now, and soon it would be winter. The beautiful green leaves on the trees were starting to change their colors, and the wind was getting stronger.

The world’s eternal cycle continued unchanged, the season came and went, and slowly one would age.

Bai Rouyun had spent a lot of her time cultivating. In her previous life, she had been struggling to survive and avoided the beauty of the seasons, and after rebirth, she did not slow down to truly marvel in the wonders of nature.

However, now that she was standing with Li Moyun by her side, she could not help but feel that the world was perfect. Everything was beautiful; everything was much more vibrant than she remembered.

Li Moyun looked down on the beautiful woman by his side, and when he saw her dazed expression as she looked at a tree, where the leaves were swaying in the wind, his eyes turned tender.

This was his wife, the woman he would protect and love for the rest of his life.

Soon their place in the queue had reached the guards, and Bai Rouyun returned to her senses. She took out the token that showed her rank, and the guard instantly straightened his back.

"I will call a servant to lead you to the VIP area," he said politely and gestured for a female servant to step forward.

No one could see Bai Rouyun’s figure or appearance. The guard was of the impression that he was a man, and to get on his good sides, he picked a female servant to serve them.

Bai Rouyun looked at the woman. She was not skimpily clad, but her dress was not conservative either.

It revealed a bit of skin, but not so much that she seemed cheap. This was a delicate balance, and most men would find her extremely attractive, unable to be harsh on her.
