He'd rather run than be turned into a cannon fodder for the broken engagement.

Chapter 156 A Dead Mouth, Unable to Shout…

They said they would wait until the baby was six months old, but they didn't decide to set off until the baby was almost eight months old.

At this point, Leng Huan was successfully weaned and finally freed from breastfeeding.

After tidying up the cave, Leng Huan glanced back at the empty cave before setting off. How peaceful it was to take care of the child like this. She looked back at their clasped hands. Fu Xun pulled her towards the door, with Xiao Yun Du perched on his shoulder.

When Leng Huan met his son's dark eyes, he smiled and teased him with a "cheep cheep".

"Eee~~" Xiao Yundu grinned and drooled. Two more upper teeth had grown in, and now they were aligned with the two lower teeth that had grown in first.

They are leaving.

"Fu Xun, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it."

Seeing Fu Xun move the stone door to seal the cave, and with a restriction, the cave door was hidden from view, Leng Huan spoke softly.

Fu Xun looked at her upon hearing this and asked curiously, "What did you say?"

Leng Huan: "Who brings their whole family along when they enter a secret realm?"

Fu Xun pondered seriously, "...It's quite normal. Some people go into seclusion and their children have already reached the Foundation Establishment stage."

Leng Huan: "...I don't believe it."

Fu Xun: "I'll call you next time I see you."

"..."

Having turned the tide, Fu Xun's eyes flashed with pleasure. Without saying a word, he simply held the baby in one arm and pulled her onto the small boat with the other.

Leng Huan waved goodbye to a cloud on the horizon that looked like a little lamb.

A gentle breeze drifted past the small boat. Fu Xun smiled at Leng Huan, who left without a trace.

Time flies and they are gone, but they are still here.

"Senior sister, I also have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it."

"What?"

"When will you call me husband?"

"..."

He asked me this unexpectedly.

Leng Huan adjusted her sleeves, clasped her hands in front of her lower abdomen, and smiled elegantly with a reserved and dignified air: "You've always called me Senior Sister, haven't you? It's not wrong for me to call you Junior Brother, is it? Should I call you Little Brother?"

Fu Xun smiled kindly: "I see. From today onwards, I will call you wife, and you will call me husband, how about that?"

Leng Huan instantly lost his composure. He raised his hand to wipe his face: "Fine, call me whatever you want."

After saying that, she activated the formation herself, and the small boat slowly moved away from Dayuan Mountain.

Husband? Leng Huan pondered to himself, these two words felt a bit awkward to pronounce, and also hot.

He's stubborn and can't shout it out.

However, since we're married now, why don't we just call him out from outside?

These two are facing each other, and it's a little hard to say it out loud, it feels too cloying... *smack*

The small boat was moving at a moderate speed; going too fast would risk hitting the barrier. It was a good opportunity for Leng Huan to play with Xiao Yun.

The little boy was very good at rolling over. Leng Huan put the little duck a little further away from him and watched him wriggle around like a caterpillar, trying to grab the toy but unable to reach it, babbling and drooling.

Leng Huan just chuckled shamelessly, propping his face up with his hand. He'll be eight months old in a few days, he's a bit too chubby, and he can't crawl yet.

Fu Xun couldn't understand why she always liked to tease the child; he was torn between laughing and crying, and finally managed to utter two words: "Wife..."

The voice was poignant, and Leng Huan shuddered, turning to look at him. "What's wrong?"

He didn't answer, but instead picked up the light-colored wooden duck and handed it to his son to play with. Leng Huan looked away from his well-defined hands.

This ruthless hand was actually using a dagger to carve toys for toddlers—little ducks, little tigers, and the like—smooth, without any burrs or sharp edges, polished with remarkable care.

Leng Huan admired him greatly.

Deep down, she admires people who can achieve what she cannot, and she finds them very impressive.

Just then, Fu Xun called out again, "Wife."

Leng Huan, as if possessed, replied, "Mm."

Then Fu Xun pulled her into his arms, taking her breath away.

-

Although they made frequent stops and starts, their general direction was still moving closer to the center.

When the cub was ten months old, they set foot in a snowy sea called "Mirage Realm".

The two had agreed to go around the edge, but unexpectedly, the airship was "sucked" in at a certain point.

Actually, she was lost without realizing it. Wang Chen didn't remind her of this place, which shouldn't be a necessary experience. Leng Huan never thought about actually coming in.

All around was a vast expanse of white. Afraid of hurting his eyes, Leng Huan placed Xiao Yundu in the cabin. The cradle was no longer big enough for him, so he laid out a warm nest for him to sleep in.

"The Mirage Realm, just hearing the name makes it sound like a maze." Leng Huan scanned the area with his divine sense but found nothing. There were only endless snow-capped mountains, and further away, ice plains.

The temperature on the outside was relatively normal, but a fierce wind rose in the center, and the temperature was extremely low. Strangely, the spiritual energy on the outside was more abundant.

“If we want to get out, it seems we have to cross the entire snowfield.” Fu Xun withdrew his divine sense. “I’m afraid we won’t be able to find the right direction. We’re probably trapped in some kind of restriction.”

It's a very powerful restriction, no wonder it's a high-level secret realm. Even Fu Xun didn't notice anything amiss.

Perhaps the edge they saw was already under a restriction or...an illusion?

It wasn't until the temperature suddenly dropped that Leng Huan realized it.

She covered her eyes; the glare from the snow was too blinding after a while. "Ugh, it's always daytime here. It only gets dark on the night of the full moon, which is half a month apart. It's really hard to tell the time."

Fu Xun nodded: "To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, let's go to the snow mountain and find a temporary cave dwelling first, and then discuss the matter further."

The two quickly went to stay on a small hill. Lord Leng Huan was fine, but I was worried that Xiao Yundu might not be able to adapt.

The Mirage Snow Sea is a more dangerous place than the Lava Valley, and Wang Chen probably knew that, so he didn't explain it to her in detail. He just mentioned it briefly and told her to go around it. Leng Huan followed the map and took the detour, but she was still pulled in.

Xiao Yundu was still asleep. I tucked the blanket around him. It wasn't cold in the cave. In order to allow the child's body temperature regulation function to develop, Leng Huan did not set up a warm sun array. It was enough to use spiritual power to isolate the cold air when changing clothes.

“The area has been cleared.” After surveying the surroundings, Fu Xun warmed himself up at the cave entrance before entering.

Leng Huan nodded, clenching his fist. A strange feeling stirred within him; was it really true that following Long Aotian would lead to many troubles?

For some time now, I've almost forgotten about the original book.

"Senior Sister?" Noticing that she seemed a little lost in thought, Fu Xun waved his hand in front of her eyes. "What are you thinking about?"

Leng Huan shook his head: "It's alright. I heard that the Snow Shadow Monster is a social monster. Is it easy to fight?"

The Snow Shadow Monster resembles an ape but is not an ape. It moves like the wind in the mirage-like snowy sea, and its white fur blends into the background, hence its name.

They live in groups, have sharp teeth and mouths, and their fur is like a steel helmet. They have almost no natural enemies in the snowy sea, making them somewhat troublesome.

Fu Xun: "Fortunately, the demonic beasts are naturally inclined to seek advantage and avoid harm. Upon detecting the powerful aura, they ran far away."

“There’s no danger for the next few dozen miles, but it’s best to leave the Snow Sea as soon as possible.” Looking at his son, who was lying down and fast asleep, Fu Xun smiled. “I’ll go explore the center of the wind formation first, and I’ll be back soon.”

Seeing that he was about to leave, Leng Huan instinctively grabbed his hand and said, "Then you have to be careful."

She knew she couldn't just wander aimlessly in the snowy sea; the best course of action was to find a way to break the barrier so she could leave safely.

"Mm." Fu Xun smoothed her long hair. "Wait for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared. Leng Huan touched his hair.

It was still warm.
