“This is incredibly unfair to Xingchen, isn’t it?”
She could scarcely believe her best friend would propose sharing a husband; it was simply too brazen!
‘Take responsibility? Am I not Ye Xingchen myself?’
A private chuckle escaped him.
Moreover, this world didn’t adhere to the ancient Earth’s strict hierarchy of wives and concubines. As long as both parties and their respective families consented, polygamous marriages were entirely legal.
While in reality, few outside the powerful nobility actually practiced it—after all, who truly wished to share their beloved with another?—
Su Liyue, however, harbored no such concerns.
On the surface, her best friend would marry Ye Xingchen, but in truth, wouldn’t she still be her own dear friend?
It would ensure her safety and allow for affectionate closeness—truly killing two birds with one stone. To call it double the joy wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Most importantly… it would perfectly resolve the troublesome issue of childbirth for her. Utterly perfect!
“I… I have no objections,” Ye Xingchen stated, feigning composure as he pursed his lips, a mischievous glint dancing in his eyes.
“Eh? Eh?!?!” Mu Wanqing was utterly flustered.
She had initially thought her best friend’s mind was simply wandering, but now her fiancé too… Who in their right mind would willingly share their significant other? Could these two possibly be colluding?
Mu Wanqing’s face burned crimson as she stammered, “Moon-Moon, you… you’re being too reckless! How can you just push Xingchen onto someone else…”
She cast a furtive glance at Ye Xingchen, her voice trailing off.
“And… it’s just too unfair to Xingchen…”
Su Liyue blinked innocently. “Eh? But Xingchen himself said it’s fine~”
She leaned closer to Mu Wanqing’s ear, lowering her voice to continue teasing:
“Truth be told… I actually think Xingchen might have had a crush on you for a while now, you know~”
‘After all, they were both the same person; their coordination was simply flawless.’
“What nonsense are you spouting!” Mu Wanqing leaped back like a startled rabbit, her hands flailing.
As she frantically looked towards Ye Xingchen, she found him gazing at her with tender eyes, and instantly, even her neck flushed crimson.
Witnessing her shy demeanor, Ye Xingchen almost couldn’t suppress his laughter.
‘This girl’s shyness is truly adorable…’
Qizai leaned languidly against the wall, her beautiful hair, adorned with an exquisite Hanfu, swaying gently in an imperceptible breeze.
Her arms crossed, showcasing her stunning figure, a playful smile graced her lips as her captivating eyes flitted between the three, clearly enjoying the unfolding drama.
Ye Xingchen, observing his best friend’s bashful expression, was secretly bursting with mirth. In his previous form as Su Liyue, he had often been teased by her, and now, finally, he had managed to turn the tables.
“Perhaps, Classmate Mu, you’re unaware, but in my hometown, we have a saying,”
He suddenly switched to an Earth dialect.
“‘Buy one, get one free—a bloody good deal with no loss.’”
‘When the enemy retreats, advance. At the opportune moment, increase the firepower.’
Qizai suddenly let out a soft chuckle, her enchanting voice laced with amusement:
“Master certainly has good fortune indeed~” Her slender fingers delicately traced her waist.
Su Liyue, seizing the moment, flashed a devilish grin:
“And Qingqing, aren’t you worried about not finding a suitable partner in the future? Let me tell you a secret… Xingchen has incredible stamina~ He’s practically the Mr. Clean of the magic world~”
‘After all, her best friend had no idea that the “Mr. Clean” she referred to was actually toilet bowl cleaner, the kind that scrubs toilets exceptionally well.’
Mu Wanqing’s face instantly turned scarlet, as if a thought had suddenly struck her.
“Wait! This amount of information… could it be that you two have already…”
A sudden realization dawned on her, and her finger, pointing at Ye Xingchen, trembled slightly.
“So it’s true, you two…”
“Shhh.” Su Liyue playfully covered her best friend’s mouth with a small hand, fearing she might utter something truly outrageous, then winked at Ye Xingchen.
“Look at how scared our Qingqing is; her face is flushed all the way to her neck.”
Qizai elegantly covered her lips with a hand, letting out a soft chuckle:
“If Master continues to tease her, I fear she might just try to burrow into the ground.”
Her eyelashes fluttered delicately, every gesture exuding the refined elegance of a Yaochi Saintess.
Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, Ye Xingchen judiciously decided to stop.
Mu Wanqing had already begun to relax from her initial tension; teasing her further might genuinely break her.
“Alright, Classmate Mu, shall we continue our exploration? You’ll need to watch your step this time,” Ye Xingchen said gently.
“I-I certainly won’t fall again!” Mu Wanqing puffed out her cheeks, but her ear tips turned crimson once more as her eyes met Ye Xingchen’s.
For some inexplicable reason, she couldn’t shake the feeling that Ye Xingchen and Su Liyue shared a subtly similar way of speaking.
Su Liyue, beaming, linked arms with her best friend:
“Let’s go, Qingqing~ Who knows, there might be an even more suitable treasure for you ahead!”
She leaned into Mu Wanqing’s ear, adding in a voice only they could hear:
“Like… a handsome and reliable fiancé, perhaps?”
“Moon-Moon!” Mu Wanqing made a move to playfully hit her, but Su Liyue deftly dodged. As the two girls playfully bickered, Qizai had already drifted ahead, her elegant hair shimmering with a faint glow in the dim secret realm.
“Master, it seems there’s something interesting discovered ahead.”
The sword itself emitted a faint hum, as if sensing something.

Moon-moon should be Yueyue, isn’t it? It’s the same regardless, but Yueyue sounds better.
