Chapter 538 Does this mean I'll have to call him uncle from now on?
Mo Qingyan stared at him intently, at the love and carefree spirit in his eyes, and at the happy and dependent look on Shen Xingmian's face in his arms.
Suddenly, he also burst into laughter. The laughter initially carried a complex and difficult-to-discern meaning, but it quickly transformed into a kind of relief and joy as fiery and unrestrained as a raging flame!
"Hahahaha! Great! What a wonderful 'love to the fullest'! What a wonderful 'live life to the fullest'!"
After Mo Qingyan finished laughing, he clapped his hands forcefully, and the last trace of gloom in his eyes completely disappeared, leaving only a bright light burning like a flame.
“Brother Ming, I admire your open-mindedness and clear understanding of life! I used to be stuck in a rut and trapped myself! From now on, you will always be my respected Brother Ming!”
Her words were grand and powerful, carrying the straightforwardness and open-mindedness unique to those who live the life of a chivalrous person.
Fu Wenzhu's gaze swept between Mo Qingyan and Ming Jingxing, and she noticed that the two of them seemed to have a mutual appreciation for each other.
Looking at Ming Jingxing's side, Shen Xingmian was holding his arm tightly, her eyes full of dependence.
He couldn't help but click his tongue twice, his tone full of teasing.
"Oh ho? So you two just let it go like that? You bury the hatchet and then each... Hey, you've both found true love?"
He dragged out the last syllable of his voice and deliberately winked at the two of them.
Upon hearing this, Mo Qingyan looked up and laughed heartily. She raised her hand and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, a move that was both swift and spirited.
“I’m genuinely happy for Brother Ming that he has found a home.”
Her tone shifted abruptly, a sharp, piercing glint flashing in her eyes, and a menacing smile curved her lips. "As for me, now that I'm free of ties, my mind is at ease. I can finally go to Wu Lie Kingdom and settle that decades-old score with Mo Yingyun! Some things just need to be resolved; they can't be dragged on forever!"
These words were spoken with murderous intent, and everyone who heard them felt a chill in their hearts, as if they could already see the "storm" that Mo Yingyun was about to face.
But just as things calmed down on one side, another discordant note erupted on the other.
Yuwen Yi, who was being held tightly by Yuwen Ze, was still furious. His eyes were wide open, and he was pointing his anger at Lu Wangyou, who was still holding Bai Yue and refusing to let go. He jumped up and down and shouted.
"You guys settle your scores! What's it to me! I'm going to settle scores with this guy surnamed Lu right now! This guy is too cunning! He hasn't let go since he hugged me, does he think I'm dead?!"
As soon as he said that, the surroundings became quiet for a moment.
The Yaksha, who had been standing quietly to the side, suddenly stepped out with light, graceful steps, and a round fan embroidered with begonia flowers appeared in her hand without her noticing.
She gave Yuwen Yi a light tap on the head, then covered her lips with her fan and let out a series of silvery laughs.
Her gaze swept over Yuwen Yi, who was full of resentment, then over Hua Mu'an, whose face was gloomy, and Ling Xuzi, whose expression was complicated. Finally, she glanced meaningfully at Lu Wangyou, who was calmly embracing Bai Yue. Her voice was charming but clear.
"Hey, gentlemen, can't you learn from Senior Tianyi?"
She raised her hand and pointed at Ming Jingxing's side with her round fan.
"Look at their magnanimity and composure! Princess Baihua has seven royal consorts who have been formally married to her, and the great hero Tianyi didn't say anything. They love each other openly and honestly. How come when it comes to you, you fight to the death over who gets close to Xiaoyue?"
She glanced at Yuwen Yi and the others with a hint of mockery, her tone full of disappointment.
"If you're really capable, you should learn from the rules of the Hundred Flowers Royal Family and find a way to 'coexist peacefully'! What good are you doing here, acting like a fighting rooster, except giving Little Moon a headache? You're really... blockheads!"
Yaksha's words were nothing short of a twisted "truth," striking Yuwen Yi and his companions like a thunderbolt.
Peaceful coexistence? Sharing a woman with other men? This is utterly unheard of and absurd!
But when they looked at Ming Jingxing, he was gently wiping away Shen Xingmian's tears, his expression so calm as if "polygamy" was a matter of course. They couldn't find the words to refute him for a moment. They felt a tightness in their chests and wanted to curse, but they didn't know who to curse.
Hua Mu'an's face turned pale and then red, her fingers gripping the corner of her sleeve tightly.
Ling Xuzi closed his eyes and silently recited the Heart-Cleansing Mantra, but his ears turned red.
Yuwen Yi was even more furious, stomping his feet in anger, but Yuwen Ze pulled him even tighter.
"I refuse to coexist peacefully with them! Xiaoyue is mine! She can only be mine!"
Just as the three were struggling with the Yaksha's "peaceful coexistence" remarks, Lu Wangyou, who had been quietly holding Bai Yue as if she were detached from the matter, suddenly spoke up.
"What Aunt Ye said makes sense."
All eyes immediately turned to him, even Yuwen Yi, who was in the middle of a contest, stopped what he was doing and looked curiously at the man who hadn't said much.
Lu Wangyou lowered his head and gazed tenderly at Bai Yue, who had slightly raised her head because of his words, and gently brushed her hair with his fingertips.
He then looked up at the "competitors" with their various expressions, his tone sincere and frank.
"Since you admire Xiaoyue, you should know that she is not an ordinary woman. She has her own brilliance and her own entanglements. If you can't even tolerate the people and things around her, how can you talk about genuine love?"
He gently took Bai Yue's hand, his gaze firm yet tender.
"To love someone is to accept everything about them, including their past, their present, and... other potential relationships in their life. If you argue with them endlessly because of jealousy and cause them distress, then that love is far too narrow and selfish."
These words were gentle yet powerful, revealing a profound affection bordering on magnanimity.
Bai Yue looked up at his handsome profile and saw the pure sincerity in his eyes, and a warm feeling suddenly welled up in her heart.
The scene fell silent for a moment, everyone affected by Lu Wangyou's words, and no one spoke again.
But this brief tranquility was soon broken by a child's voice.
"Godmother! If you and Uncle get together, does that mean I can't call him Uncle anymore? I'll have to call him Godfather instead?"
Yun Tianle, who had been largely ignored, blinked his big, round eyes, his little head seemingly engaged in a complex calculation of family hierarchy. "But... he's clearly my uncle! Should I call him... 'Uncle'?"
He frowned, looking conflicted.
