Folk legend: If a person is shameless, even little ghosts are afraid of them.
Liu Qingluo says little ghosts are hard to deal with.
Miss Yun is now a human too, but she hasn't seen any little ghosts.
Just like the phrase 'those without malice are called kind,' when nothing holds meaning for the young lady, when a person is not bound by common sense, or moved by life and death, it becomes impossible to use good and evil to label them.
Without the stance of identity, how can one speak of good and evil, or of morality.
Good and evil, and morality, are nothing; things like shame have even less meaning, so... as long as her husband is not displeased, Yun Qian can speak as sweetly as possible.
To use the rules of the world below the well to define the regulations above Nine Heavens is highly inadequate.
However, Yun Qian, who has attempted to enter the well, will learn the rules below, and she indeed learned a lot.
For example, she learned about public displays of affection, like the kisses between young masters and young ladies at the Beisang City lakeside, and used them on Xu Chang'an.
Now, she learned other things from Gu Qiancheng.
Thinking about how Xu Chang'an had looked at her earlier, with such surprise, disbelief, and even a hint of embarrassment, Yun Qian tilted her head and smiled.
Her husband is a moral person.
But when you think carefully, sweet talk has nothing to do with morality. What couples say in private is nobody's business, even the Heavenly Dao Incarnation cannot blame the young lady.
Yun Qian wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "Call me wife again."
"Didn't you already hear it?" Xu Chang'an held Yun Qian, his face blushing: "Didn't hear clearly? Was my voice too soft?"
"I heard it, heard it very clearly."
Yun Qian blinked and seriously said, "But there are some things you clearly hear, yet you want me to ask again... I'm the same."
This is also what the eager-to-learn Miss Yun learned from him.
"I was just..." Xu Chang'an instinctively wanted to argue but, feeling her breath on his ear, he sighed: "Wife..."
"Don't drag the tone," Yun Qian tapped his shoulder slightly displeased.
The way he said it just now sounded more like he was calling for his mother, which reminded Miss Yun, whose memories are not yet sealed, of some unpleasant things.
"Wife." Xu Chang'an gently held the young lady, feeling her breath on his ear, his heart racing.
He didn't want to create this atmosphere where the young lady wanted it and he was unwilling; it's just that his inner feelings made it hard for him to be as straightforward as the young lady.
Yun Qian liked this about him very much.
Life is about progressing slowly.
If someone is straightforward from the start, won't it be like firewood meeting a flame, blazing instantly to great heights?
If it were like that, even just fifteen minutes would be unbearable for Miss Yun.
So, what she wants is his proper restraint, which makes her like him even more.
Xu Chang'an had already called her twice, and instead of feeling awkward, he seemed to have gotten used to it. Holding the young lady, he took two steps and slowly set her down when they reached the main hall, saying, "Wife, satisfied?"
"Mm, satisfied." Yun Qian nodded without hesitation.
"So... the inspiration came from that Gu'er, right? Did I guess correctly?" Xu Chang'an sighed. He couldn't help but think that it was Gu Qiancheng's effortless ability to make herself understood that gave Miss Yun this inspiration.
"That's right."
"I knew it."
That Gu'er is really a useful person.
Yun Qian had a changed view on Gu Qiancheng; in Yun Qian's heart, no matter what Gu Qiancheng had done, just for letting her hear those few words... it was enough for Yun Qian to remember her name.
After Yun Qian steadied herself, she said to him, "I want to hear something else."
"What do you want to hear?" Xu Chang'an, unlike before, proactively said: "Ah Qian? Or Ah Yun."
Yun Qian looked at him for a moment and then slowly shook her head, "I don't want to hear that anymore."
When Xu Chang'an lost his immensely caring and conflicted attitude, these intimate calls lost their charm in her eyes.
Still, "Miss" and "Wife" sounded more pleasant.
And "Wife" always reminded the young lady of "Mother," so... she really preferred the two words "Miss."
"Don't want to hear it? Then it's time to head down the mountain." Xu Chang'an held Yun Qian's hand and walked forward, while a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Miss Yun is indeed very easy to understand.
Xu Chang'an knew very well that the more he acted as if he cared, the more Yun Qian would care.
It was like this with the child's matters.
It was like this with the Hongxing matter.
Now, it's the same.
Conversely, as long as he was a bit indifferent, Yun Qian would soon lose interest.
This was his best, tried-and-true method for handling Yun Qian.
However... in fact, he didn't want to handle the young lady.
If they were at home, he might have resisted a bit before saying what the young lady wanted to hear because these were also the little charms between husband and wife.
But now, heading down the mountain, flirting outside the hall... he couldn't quite accept it, primarily because it wouldn't be good if someone saw or heard them.
He could only reluctantly suppress the young lady's affectionate thoughts.
A bit of a pity.
Holding Yun Qian's slightly cool hand, Xu Chang'an thought that when they were alone, he would call her to her heart's content.
——
Xu Chang'an took out the Jade Scroll Qinling prepared for their trip down the mountain, and accompanied Yun Qian into the main hall.
Inside the hall, amidst a stack of piled-up documents, a Daoist nun with long hair tied at the back with a thin red ribbon was writing something with a focused expression.
In the Chaoyun Sect, there were all sorts of people, and it was common to see women dressed in Daoist robes. But they were not all female crowns, just accustomed to dressing that way, much like Li Zhibai.
