Realms In The Firmament

Since Yue Gongxue was confined in the palace, she had never stopped thinking about Ye Xiao. Day after day, month after month, year after year, there was nothing else that could occupy her mind.

Now that she finally saw her son, she finally realized that whatever she had imagined was pallid compared to the real person. As she held Ye Xiao in the arms, she felt like she was holding the entire world.

If Ye Nantian knew what Yue Gongxue was thinking, would he be more comforted, or more jealous?

No matter what, Yue Gongxue only felt happy and consoled at the moment…

She was smiling, but with her tears shedding out, she completely lost control of her emotion.

After a while, she finally calmed down a bit, yet she still kept holding Ye Xiao’s hand and watching him as if she couldn’t stop looking at him.

Ye Xiao could feel his soul cheering up.

It was not just the piece of the soul of the young Ye Xiao, but also Xiao Monarch’s heart which was touched. [Finally, I am a man with parents now…]

He had been an orphan since he could remember. Now, he finally got to know the feeling of having both a father and a mother. Now, he finally had a family. It was happiness.

It was the root.

It was reliance.

Even though his parents were weaker than him, even though they could only provide limited support, as long as they were there, he could feel that he had someone to rely on. In this world, he was no longer a child without a family.

The remaining piece of the young Ye Xiao’s soul had finally become a part of Ye Xiao’s own soul. At this moment, the two parts were connected by the joy and prosperity…

Yue Shuang and Yue Han were jealous of him while watching him being hugged by his mother.

[Brother has his mother now. He is so happy…]

[As for us…]

The two ladies were jealous and also grieved at the same time. [She is our brother’s mother, which means she is our mother too. But we can’t say that…]

Ye Xiao turned around and looked at the grievance in the two ladies’ eyes. The only thing he could do was to make a sigh. No matter how dominant he was, there was nothing he could do to help the two ladies on such an issue…

That night, the Ye Clan was holding a feast. Waves of laughter and cheerful voices filled the whole clan.

Every member of Ye Clan was smiling, sitting in tables, which had occupied the main hall and the courtyard.

Ye Xiao sat between Yue Gongxue and Ye Nantian. Yue Gongxue had never looked away from Ye Xiao since they had the reunion, not even a second.

Her eyes were filled with love and regret…

It seemed she wanted to make it up for the lost eighteen years to Ye Xiao in the shortest time as possible as she could.

“Xiao Xiao, try this…”

“Xiao Xiao, what do you think?”

“Don’t worry. I will make a new dish for you later.”

“This one too…”

Ye Xiao was stunned when he saw the food piling up high in his plate. Yue Gongxue almost gave him everything that was tasty on the table. She was going to provide him with all the food she could reach!

Ye Xiao believed that a dragon would be stuffed by the food in his plate…

Ye Nantian saw him embarrassed, so he said, “Xue-er, you are going to get him stuffed to death. How is he supposed to finish all those food? Even a pig can’t eat that much!”

Yue Gongxue clapped her own head and said, “That’s true. Xiao Xiao can’t eat that much. Well… Let him eat those that are still warm… You can finish the rest.”

She started to move the food from Ye Xiao’s plate to Ye Nantian’s, leaving the most delicious to Ye Xiao. She said, “Xiao Xiao, eat the warm ones and give the cooled ones to your father.”

Ye Nantian rubbed his beard, speechlessly looked at the leftovers in the plate, and felt cold in the heart.

He was jealous now.

When there were only Yue Gongxue and him, they were such a loving couple, who only had each other in the eyes… He felt happy with her…

As for now, she had totally pushed him away and stayed only close to their son.

She had stopped to love her son immediately.

[Am I going to eat leftovers now? Am I really this pitiful?]

[Am I just like a pig to you?]

Ye Xiao could feel the fever in Yue Shuang and Yue Han’s eyes. He helplessly smiled and said, “Come on you two… Share with me.” Then he gave them some of the food in his plate.

Ye Nantian was surprised.

[Xiao Xiao is such a smart boy! Yet why did he do such a stupid thing?]

[No matter how tasty the food is, it is in your plate! Your chopsticks touched it!]

[Besides, your mother took it to your plate…]

[Even though you are being polite and respectful to the two superior cultivators, you should at least give the two ladies some food from the table…]

[This is embarrassingly discourteous! You are humiliating the two influential figures of the world!]

However, what happened next totally astonished Ye Nantian. Yue Shuang and Yue Han both lit up their eyes and said, “Thanks! Thank you!” Then they took over the food and started to swallow. They were actually happy to take that food!

They weren’t acting. Not at all.

Although the food was from their mother, it was from their brother’s mother. For them, it was almost like the food from their own mother.

When they ate the food, they actually tasted the love of a mother. That feeling was something that the two ladies had been earnestly longing for. When they ate the food, their eyes were blurred by tears.

Yue Han made a sigh, chewing the food, and said, “Lady Ye loves the kid so much. Your love for him is enviable… We were abandoned by our parents since we were born… We have never seen our mother’s face… To have our mother picking food to us is never an experience of us… I guess we owe the kid for what is happening right now!”

Yue Shuang wanted to stop her from talking the weird words, but she also didn’t want to ruin everybody’s good mod.

When she heard what Yue Han said, she made a long sigh too.
