My Wife Is The Final Boss

Chapter 1161 - 635: A Daughter Must Be Prepared (Double-Length) (Part 2)

He’s always so perceptive, but since Li Zhibai doesn’t explain, she must have her reasons.

So Xu Chang’an didn’t ask. After a light sigh, he seized the opportunity to complain to his teacher, recounting those things he encountered during work as jokes for Li Zhibai.

As a man being an Internal Affairs Steward on Muyu Peak... there really are many inconvenient things.

"Teacher, some tasks are really inconvenient. Speaking of, don’t laugh at me, but the days when the senior sisters on Three Officials Rock have their menstrual cycles... I can’t help but remember them, since if Ms. Fang is unavailable to deliver items, I have to go." Xu Chang’an looked helpless: "Thankfully, the senior sisters are quite broad-minded and don’t mind such minor issues."

The elixirs or items like white silk used by Muyu Peak women during their Gui Water, he could say he’s very familiar with them.

Li Zhibai: "..."

Honestly speaking, she didn’t really want to hear the words "Gui Water" right now.

So Li Zhibai glared lightly at Xu Chang’an, even though she knew he hadn’t heard the discussion at the banquet table, she still said, "Are you doing this on purpose?"

"On purpose... Teacher, you truly have sharp eyes." Xu Chang’an spread his hands: "Chang’an... did it on purpose."

He did bring up the topic of Gui Water on purpose; otherwise, with so many events on Muyu Peak, why would he bring up this potentially awkward topic with his teacher?

"On purpose about what?" Li Zhibai looked at him.

"Bringing up the topic of Gui Water... because I wanted to ask Miss about Gui Water matters, it’s a very handy opening." Xu Chang’an smiled, frankly admitting his intentions without any cover.

"With a mischievous grin." Li Zhibai looked at Xu Chang’an and couldn’t muster any anger: "So then, how is Ms. Yun?"

"Do you have to have Gui Water to have children?"

"...?"

Li Zhibai’s fingers slightly stiffened; she then looked annoyed at Xu Chang’an.

This child... does he even listen to what he’s asking about?

"If according to worldly knowledge, then to have a child you definitely need Gui Water, that’s something I understand." Xu Chang’an shook his head, then said, "But Teacher... now with cultivation, there are always female cultivators who cut off the Red Dragon, right? But that shouldn’t mean they can’t have children... so, actually, whether or not there’s Gui Water isn’t the most crucial point for having children?"

This was what he was pondering.

Because Miss Yun always wanted a daughter, so he was a bit puzzled and took the opportunity to ask Li Zhibai.

"What you’re saying... I don’t really get it either." Li Zhibai felt quite helpless.

She wasn’t concerned about these things... nor had she ever had children, plus given her direction in cultivation, she really didn’t know much about the topic of ’life creation.’

"But, Gui Water certainly won’t be a necessary condition." Li Zhibai still concluded.

"As expected..." Xu Chang’an seemed thoughtful.

"So, you want a child now?" Li Zhibai looked at Xu Chang’an with keen interest. Although she didn’t much like the topic of Gui Water, she did like discussions about children.

"I do want to." Xu Chang’an nodded. He didn’t think he was too young. To him, having lived two lifetimes, he was confident he could be a good father now.

The experience of taking care of Yun Qian gave him confidence.

His daughter would definitely be a very well-behaved child. After all... she couldn’t possibly be more clingy than Miss Yun.

"But, it’s just a thought... it’s not the best time to have a child now, so I’m just asking." Xu Chang’an stretched lazily: "It’s good that Gui Water isn’t essential."

Otherwise, he would really have to consider having a daughter before Yun Qian’s Gui Water led to her cutting the Red Dragon... lest cultivation caused Miss Yun to bear no daughter, leading to lifelong regrets.

Having a way without needing Gui Water is good.

This way, even if it really takes a hundred years, wanting a daughter with Yun Qian is still doable.

"You want to, but... it’s not the best time, huh." Li Zhibai was somewhat disappointed. She raised her head: "Just... Chang’an, what do you mean by ’best time’? There’s never a moment in life when you feel everything is perfectly ready."

As a mother, she hoped that one acts upon desire, rather than waiting for the right moment.

"Teacher." Xu Chang’an looked at Li Zhibai, surprised: "I thought you... would think the same as I do."

He originally thought Li Zhibai would also think that Miss Yun should prioritize cultivation over having a child.

"Why, because you think I should believe you should improve cultivation first?" Li Zhibai shook her head gently.

Her thinking had long changed.

Let her choose between Xu Chang’an working hard in cultivation and... creating a cute little girl for her, she might not hesitate to choose the latter.

"After all, with your personality, even if you have a daughter, you absolutely wouldn’t neglect your cultivation." Li Zhibai said: "So it doesn’t matter, that’s not a reason you can’t have a daughter."

"I see, you really trust me." Xu Chang’an lightly tapped his fingers on the table along with his heartbeat, then said: "Well then... I’ll give another reason."

"Let’s hear it."

"If I have a daughter now, I can’t give a hundred percent of my attention to Miss Yun, as some of my care for her will always be shared with my daughter." Xu Chang’an took a deep breath: "About this, I’m not prepared."

A daughter would inevitably take away some of the love he has for Miss Yun, that’s undoubtedly true, so before being fully prepared, he could only let down his unborn daughter, letting her come to the world a bit later to vie for affection with her mother.

Li Zhibai: "..."

She was speechless.

At least to her, this reason was impeccable. With such reasoning, even Yun Qian would have no way with him...

Then, all of a sudden, Li Zhibai froze. Looking at this sharp-eyed, starry-eyed young man beside her, she realized something.

Chang’an said he wasn’t ready for the arrival of a daughter...

But he was fully prepared for her, the teacher.

Not that she’s saying she’s Chang’an’s daughter, which would be a confusing order of things.

Rather... Chang’an even needs to set aside mental space for an anticipated daughter, yet this outsider teacher could somehow find a place in his heart full of Miss Yun?

Li Zhibai was puzzled and perplexed.

Was she really that important to Chang’an?

In the past, she hadn’t taught Chang’an any amazing cultivation techniques; thus far, aside from his own mysteries, everything he learned was the most basic of cultivation techniques, things even slightly storied individuals wouldn’t look at.

After the doubt came a sense of guilt.

Obviously, as a teacher, Chang’an had prepared, but she wasn’t fulfilling her duty as a teacher...

So in the future, as a mother, she had to hold on tightly to that responsibility.

"In the future, when you have a daughter, I’ll help you take care of her." Li Zhibai said, thinking this way, Chang’an would still have the opportunity to give his whole heart to Miss Yun.

"...??"

Xu Chang’an had several question marks over his head, obviously bewildered by Li Zhibai’s sudden words, but soon Xu Chang’an burst into laughter.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you."

Teacher taking care of his daughter?

Truly a strange sense of déjà vu.

Like a mother.

Ah Qing was initially following Xu Chang’an and Li Zhibai at a distance, but after they suddenly left, she found it rather odd... But when Ah Qing’s ears perked, hearing the discussion at the banquet table, her eye twitched slightly. She understood everything.

The banquet table was discussing taboo topics.

So Ah Qing didn’t want to go up there either.

She didn’t want to get involved.

Ah Qing realized that if she went up now, the discussion would shift from Li Zhibai to her, and Zhu Pingniang would inevitably pry her Gui Water matters inside out.

Ah Qing still cared about her dignity.
