Chapter 556 From now on, you can just call me by my name.
Yaksha was so angry at his peculiar way of thinking that she choked. Just as she was about to call him an idiot, Rakshasa, who was standing to the side, stepped forward and explained on her behalf, suppressing her laughter.
"Brother Xue, you've misunderstood! Yaksha was just deliberately teaching Yuwen Cheng a lesson! Who told him to insult you earlier? She can't stand seeing her man being wronged, so she's only worried about you!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Xue's dim eyes instantly lit up. She looked sharply at Yaksha, her voice trembling with excitement.
"Really? Honey! You...you're feeling sorry for me? You're deliberately disciplining Yuwen Cheng for my sake?"
When Yaksha saw that everyone present was looking at them with mocking smiles, she immediately blushed and her ears turned red.
She stamped her foot and glared at Rakshasa reproachfully.
"Rakshasa! You're just being nosy! Who asked you to say anything!"
After saying that, she turned and ran away, clearly not wanting to be laughed at by the younger generation.
"Baby! Don't go!"
Madam Xue panicked when she saw this and immediately tried to get up to chase after her. However, she had been kneeling for too long and her legs were already numb. As soon as she stood up, she staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Hearing the commotion, Yaksha, who had already run a few steps away, instinctively turned back. Seeing him swaying precariously, she immediately turned back and reached out to support him, her tone tinged with reproach yet unable to conceal her concern.
"You idiot! What's the rush? Don't you know to slow down if your legs are numb? What if you fall?"
As she was being helped by her, Madam Xue looked at her beautiful face so close to hers and the captivating blush on her cheeks, and a surge of immense joy and happiness welled up in her heart.
He grinned foolishly, then suddenly became bold, used his strength to lift the Yaksha up in his arms!
"Ah! What are you doing! Put me down! There are so many people watching!"
Yasha gasped, her cheeks turning even redder. She instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck and pounded his chest in a mixture of shame and anger.
Madam Xue held her tightly, as if afraid she would fall. Her face, hidden beneath her silver hair, beamed like a child who had just received candy, and she exclaimed loudly.
"I won't let go! I'll never let go in this lifetime! Baby, let's go back to the room. I'll apologize to you and promise I'll never think like that again!"
After saying that, he didn't care how many people were watching. Holding the struggling Yaksha in his arms, who was reluctant to push him away, he strode back to their room, leaving behind a string of Yaksha's embarrassed and angry curses and his satisfied laughter.
This commotion naturally alerted Zhuang Xiaoye, who quickly walked out of the room and immediately looked at Luocha.
"Shuang'er, what happened? I think I just heard Master Xue and Yaksha..."
Before the other person could finish speaking, Rakshasa turned to look at him, her eyes full of smiles.
"Alas, who would have thought that our fearless Night Protector would actually encounter her nemesis!"
She paused, glanced at the few people still kneeling on the ground, and sneered.
"However, the remaining few will probably have to wait for Xiaoyue to speak before they can get up."
"Moon Girl, I'm truly innocent!"
Fu Xiuyu knelt on the ground, his knees already aching and numb. When he saw Bai Yue appear, he immediately grabbed at her as if she were a lifeline and shouted his grievances.
"I didn't do anything from beginning to end, but I've been kneeling for so long for nothing because of that brat Wangyou!"
"Oh, then Uncle Fu, you can get up now."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yue casually replied. As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Xiuyu felt as if he had been granted a pardon and immediately struggled to get up.
"Grandpa! Xiaoyue told me to get up, I didn't sneak up on my own! You can't punish me anymore!"
He limped toward Fu Wenzhu's room, shouting loudly as he went.
"Miss Yue, I'm innocent too!"
Seeing that Fu Xiuyu had successfully "escaped," Yuwen Ze quickly put on a mournful face and begged Bai Yue for mercy. However, Bai Yue looked at him with some doubt and her brows furrowed slightly.
"Yuwen Ze, didn't Father Cheng say that after this martial arts tournament, all the major sects would wipe out the Black Poison Sect? Given this situation, how come you still have time to kneel here?"
"What? Eradicate the Black Poison Cult?"
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Ze was struck dumb, as if by lightning. He got up and rushed towards Yuwen Xiao's room, his voice trembling.
"Father! Mother! We can't eradicate the Black Poison Cult! Your daughter-in-law and in-laws are still there!"
"Um, Aunt Luo, Second Uncle, did Father Cheng not tell Yuwen Ze about the extermination of the Voodoo Cult?"
Watching Yuwen Ze's disappearing figure, Bai Yue turned to look at Luo Sha and Zhuang Xiaoye beside her.
"We just found out about this ourselves..."
Both of them shook their heads at the same time, Bai Yue thought to herself.
"It seems I must contact Elder Miao and the others..."
She looked up at the sky, wanting to see if the moon had become full, since this was a necessary element to activate the Jade Cicada.
"Sister Yue, are you feeling any better? Is your throat still sore? Has your back pain eased?"
Just then, a gentle voice rang out, and Lu Wangyou was looking at her with worry in his eyes.
"My wife, how are you feeling? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Yuwen Yi also hurriedly moved forward, his tone even more anxious than Lu Wangyou's.
"Master, I'm sorry... I was too impulsive yesterday and caused you to hurt yourself. Please punish me!"
Hua Mu'an and Ling Xuzi lowered their heads deeply, their handsome faces filled with regret and self-reproach, and apologized to Bai Yue in unison.
"..."
Looking at the four men with different expressions in front of her, Bai Yue finally just sighed softly, without blaming them too much.
"Alright, let bygones be bygones. But... don't act so recklessly in the future. Think more carefully before acting."
Her gaze then turned to Hua Mu'an and Ling Xuzi, her voice carrying a hint of solemnity.
"Now that I have accepted your feelings, you no longer need to call me 'Master, Master' all day long. From now on, you can just call me by my name."
Upon hearing this, Hua Mu'an and Ling Xuzi suddenly raised their heads, their eyes filled with unbelievable surprise and excitement.
This change in address was an immense blessing and the most direct recognition for them, meaning they finally had the right to accompany Bai Yue.
The two looked at each other and saw the same ecstasy and shyness in each other's eyes.
After hesitating for a moment, Hua Mu'an finally mustered up her courage and called out cautiously.
"Xiao...Xiaoyue."
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a hint of trepidation, as if he was afraid he had mispronounced the name.
