Chapter 1360: Chapter 851: Conversation Between Husband and Wife Chapter 1360: Chapter 851: Conversation Between Husband and Wife Liu RuYan swayed her pair of glowing white jade hands lightly, wafting them up and down in front of Jiang Hui to try to interrupt the man’s distracting thoughts.

On the woman’s wrists were silver bracelets engraved with patterns of flowers, plants, and trees, and at that moment, they collided with each other, producing a crisp and pleasant sound.

Apart from the differences in physique and temperament, there was almost no difference between the two women.

But even though they wore identical faces, they gave Jiang Hui two completely different feelings.

One was like a Celestial Goddess from the Nine Heavens, untainted by the dust and vulgarities of the mortal world.

The other was approachable, like a virtuous woman suitable for home, a wise and virtuous wife.

Indeed, it was like a world of ice and fire.

This world is truly marvelous!

“I was just thinking about why you’re so adorable!”

Jiang Hui smiled, reached out to grasp the woman’s soft hands, and gently placed them in front of himself, immediately catching a whiff of a refreshing fragrance at his nose.

A world of difference compared to the cheap, choking perfume scents from later generations.

“Adorable?” Liu RuYan was startled, her tone carrying a hint of suspicion. She lowered her head to examine her newly changed white short boots, reviewed them for a moment, and murmured to herself, “They do seem quite adorable indeed…”

“Alright, tell me, why are you suddenly saying these things?!”

Jiang Hui smiled and gently rubbed the woman’s cheek, his expression returning to calm as he spoke to the slightly blushing woman before him.

Even after being an old married couple, she still blushed when her face was touched, like a young maiden, and such tempting charm would likely make it hard for any man to resist.

“It wasn’t sudden, my lord, I have actually been thinking about it for a long time; it is the result of deep contemplation,” she said.

Upon hearing this, Liu RuYan immediately shook her head, earnestly correcting the grammatical errors in Jiang Hui’s speech.

“A long time?”

“Yes, since Sister Liu returned from the depths of The Boundary Sea, I started pondering over it.”

“You’ve been considering such things for me so early… What, has Ru Yan come to terms with it now?” Jiang Hui said disapprovingly.

After pondering for so long, to come up with such an answer, should he feel joy or should he appreciate her broad-mindedness, understanding the greater good? In future generations, there would be no woman so open-minded, not only free of jealousy but also actively arranging for her man to find another.

“I wouldn’t say I’ve come to terms with it, but after putting myself in others’ shoes, I suddenly realize that having another sister by my side doesn’t seem like a bad thing, and I don’t feel much jealousy.

Moreover… Sister Liu and I shouldn’t really be considered outsiders. When the time comes… it will be more lively by my lord’s side.”

By the end of her words, Liu RuYan’s face, delicate as porcelain, turned a rosy shade of crimson.

God knows what scenes she was envisioning.

But… what kind of talk was this?

Though it’s true that probably all men would like their other half to be so understanding and magnanimous.

Still, being pushed out like this gave Jiang Hui a peculiar feeling,
as if his own charm was somehow lacking.

“It’s up to you.”

Jiang Hui rubbed his forehead, chuckling bitterly.

Of course, he wouldn’t put on a facade. At his realm, all his actions and words followed his true heart.

If you think about it, if the Willow God really threw herself at him, would he refuse?

The answer is self-evident, obviously, he couldn’t refuse.

After all, initially, Ru Yan was merely a split manifestation of her.

Having shared her avatar’s bed for so long, it would be too fake, too insincere, to claim I have no interest in the original person, especially considering that whether in temperament or appearance, there has never been anyone throughout the ages who could rival the Willow God.

But deep down, something still feels rather bizarre…

It’s likely because the notion of monogamy from my past life has taken deep root within my heart,
And the idea of adding another woman, even if it’s the original person, still inevitably makes Jiang Hui feel like he’s having an affair.

One relationship is hidden away, the other is out in the open, even receiving official endorsement.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hui suddenly realizes, feeling somewhat belated, that there’s still one thing he needs to ask: just what exactly the Willow God has done for him.

To satisfy that damn curiosity of his.

After all, considering the confidence in Liu RuYan’s tone, could it be that the other party has really done quite a few things for him without his knowledge?

In theory, this shouldn’t be likely.

After all, he has become the Immortal Emperor, on par with the Heavenly Road, a thought reveals the passing of time, the elapse of moments; within his perception, he can know the past and future. Surely, there should be nothing in this world that can evade his notice.

But it can’t be definitively ruled out either.

After all, he had once strongly believed that he severed the karmic ties between Liu RuYan and the Willow God,
But in the end, there remains some indescribable connection between the two, utterly distinct from karma, outside the bounds of cause and effect. Furthermore, since the breakthrough of the Willow God to the status of Quasi-Immortal Emperor, this connection between the two women has become even more…

“Sister thinks of you silently every day, continuing up to now, through wind and rain, sweltering heat or bitter cold, there was never a pause. To ask what love is in this world, it’s nothing but a vow between life and death. Sister has been conscious for so many years, yet never has she experienced such feelings…”

Liu RuYan, with her elusive and mystifying eyes, looked up at Jiang Hui and spoke, word by word.

Although she herself did not know why, since the karmic bonds were severed by the master, logically there should be no connections between them from now on, yet in her vague awareness, she could still sense the original’s thoughts and feelings.

Especially when Sister Liu’s emotions were most intense, she felt them profoundly.

Why should women make things hard for other women?

“Is that all?” Jiang Hui was startled. Was this what it meant to have done a lot for him?

In his previous life, this would have been considered unrequited love, right?

He remembered clearly, back when he was in school, every time he glimpsed the figure seated in the front row, he felt the same. These are all digressions, of course, and the Willow God can’t be regarded as having unrequited love either, as he would sometimes entertain the idea of what it feels like to enjoy blessings shared by others.

“Master, isn’t that enough?” Liu RuYan looked at Jiang Hui curiously, believing that for a woman to do this much for a man, it must be out of wholehearted love.

That’s how she felt, thus she understood this emotion best.

“Enough, enough!” Jiang Hui said with a wry smile.

After all, that’s the Willow God, Ancestor of the Sacrificial Spirits, a peerless beauty of an era.

Other people would dream even of receiving extra attention from her, let alone having such persistent thoughts.

Even Jiang Hui himself hardly dared to think about it.

In that case, Liu RuYan’s words did seem quite reasonable.

“What about it, Master, you wouldn’t fail to honor Sister Liu, would you?” Liu RuYan cast a hopeful glance his way.

“You… You’re not jealous?” Jiang Hui pressed his lips together, a rare trace of nervousness showing.

“I’m not jealous. Sister Liu and I are as close as one person,” Liu RuYan said with a sly look, her smile playful.

That’s Sister Liu for you.

With anyone else, it would be a case of women making things hard for other women.

Jiang Hui, too, looked at her seriously, meeting her gaze,
His eyes clear as a spring, truly without a hint of jealousy, before he finally spoke, “You decide. If she truly feels this way, naturally I will not let her down.”
