"Rumble!"
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a thunderous explosion.
Thick dark clouds pressed down on their heads, and with a gust of wind, bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky.
The rain came so quickly that no one expected it. The children in the Little Sage Manor who had just finished their classes and were about to go back to rest were still smiling and chatting one second, but in the next second, they were running quickly in panic.
Some people noticed that Ying Wei was standing at the edge of the Nine Winding Corridor in the Small Sage Manor, staring at the vast lake in the manor.
"Martial Uncle, it's raining. Let's go back quickly!”
A bold child shouted at Ying Wei. Hearing the childish voice, Ying Wei smiled and waved his hand, indicating that they did not need to care about him.
The rain fell on the lake, creating ripples. Soon, the rain poured down.
At this moment, a beautiful figure walked out of the fog. She seemed to be the goddess of Wu Mountain.
She was wearing a light yellow traditional dress and a long skirt. Her crystal-like high heels were stepping on the ground, echoing in the continuous rain.
Startling Salamander held an oil-paper umbrella in his hand and slowly walked to Ying Wei's side. He raised the umbrella high and shielded him from the wind and rain outside.
Ying Wei, who was staring at the lake, turned his head and looked at the beautiful woman who was standing beside him. He looked at her flawless side profile, which was like a lotus flower emerging from the water.
Her face was as bright as spring flowers, and her skin was as smooth as jade, which could be broken by a blow.
Ying Wei thought that if this was in the modern world, who would be willing to let such a beautiful and delicate woman hold an umbrella for him? Who knew how many people would criticize her and how many people would kneel in front of her?
However, in this era, people did not think that such behavior was inappropriate. As a concubine, it was normal for her to hold an umbrella to shelter her master from the rain.
However, Ying Wei was not a person who did not know how to be gentle with women. He hugged Jing Salamander's soft waist and placed one hand on her round shoulder.
He gently caressed the Startling Salamander's smooth skin, making people unable to put it down. His fingers moved up her neck and across her delicate face, playing with a few strands of hair on her sideburns.
In the end, Ying Wei's hand landed on her white wrist and clenched it tightly. However, he did not take the umbrella away from the Salamander's hand. Instead, he placed his finger on her wrist.
Through his pulse, Ying Wei could feel the heartbeat of the Startling Salamander. At the same time, he admired Wang Net's martial arts. He could not detect any internal energy.
However, when he thought about his initial guess about the origin of the net, Ying Wei felt that it was normal for the net to have such skills.
There was also an abnormal pulse in the pulse. Ying Wei did not know much about medicine, but he had read the basic medical books of this era.
Thus, Ying Wei knew that the Startling Salamander was pregnant, but it was only for a short period of time.
As a modern person, it was quite easy to guess pregnancy. She did not take any safety measures, and Jing Li's period suddenly did not come. She could roughly guess her condition.
"Although you're not my wife, I have one advantage, and that is that I treat everyone equally.”
"I don't know if you know about my past, but my mother was only a concubine of the former King of Qin, but my father still loved me.”
"I don't like the concept of seniority and seniority. Since it's my child, it's the continuation of my bloodline.”
"I don't know if this child is a boy or a girl, but regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, I will treat you well when you return to the State of Qin.”
"This is my promise to you.”
Ying Wei's hand tightly gripped the waist of the Startling Salamander as he spoke with conviction.
His tone was strong and convincing.
In a place where Ying Wei did not notice, the frightened salamander's expression was a little complicated. She gently bit her moist lips and buried her delicate face in Ying Wei's arms.
"To be able to receive such love from Young Master, this concubine is already satisfied.”
The startled salamander subconsciously grabbed Ying Wei's clothes with her soft hands. She closed her eyes tightly and let her rippling heart become cold again.
She was a first-class assassin from the Network, Startling Salamander. She had to complete her mission by hook or by crook.
But she also knew that this man had shaken her heart.
"The wind and rain are a little heavy. Let's go to the pavilion at the side and sit. Don't hurt the child in your stomach.”
Ying Wei's hand gently caressed the Salamander's flat abdomen. He then took the oil-paper umbrella from her hand and carried the Salamander to a pavilion at the side.
The corner of the Startling Salamander's mouth curled up slightly."…The child is still very young. There's no need to be so careful."”
As an assassin, Startling Salamander only knew some techniques to treat wounds. However, during this period of time, she had read a lot of books under Ying Wei's request.
Especially after she found out that she was pregnant, she learned more about this. She knew that when she was just pregnant, the woman did not have to pay too much attention.
Moreover, the Startling Salamander's internal strength was thick and powerful. With the powerful internal strength protecting the fetus in her stomach, she could kill even if she was pregnant, let alone at this stage where she had just become pregnant.
However, Ying Wei still insisted,"This is my first child. I still have to be careful.”
This was Ying Wei's first child in both his past and present lives. Judging from the average life expectancy in this era, it was already too late for him to have his first child now.
At the very least, Ying Wei knew that before he left Xianyang to seek education, Brother Zheng's first child was already born.
At the age of thirteen, he inherited the throne of the King of Qin. At the age of fifteen, he married a princess of the State of Chu and gave birth to his first child in about two years. This was the normal situation for people in this era.
According to the records of later generations, the First Emperor had a lot of children. There were twenty to thirty of them, but they were all killed by Huhai.
"Yes, Yu, your smile just now was very beautiful. It was much better than the fake smile when we first met. At the very least, this smile came from your heart.”
Ying Wei held the Startling Salamander's hand and stood at the edge of the pavilion. The two of them snuggled together tightly as they watched the water curtain fall from the eaves of the pavilion, splashing water.
"I will always pay attention to this.”
The Startling Salamander raised its head and looked at the mist in a daze, looking at the dream-like courtyard.
"You don't have to pay attention at all times. I'm very happy to just let nature take its course. Do you have any wishes or wants, Yu?”
"You have accompanied me for more than a month, but you have never asked for anything.”
"Don't say that you don't have anything. Just say what's in your heart. No matter what it is, I can reward it to you.”
Ying Wei said as he placed the oil-paper umbrella aside and played with the Startling Salamander's hand.
Startling Salamander Tan opened her mouth slightly. She wanted to say that she didn't need anything, but Ying Wei stopped her. She hesitated for a moment before saying,"…I only want to live a stable life by Young Master's side.”
Whether this sentence was sincere or made up, perhaps only the Startling Salamander knew.
However, in this era of war, such a request was a luxury for many people.
Ying Wenyan laughed out loud and said,"... Alright, I promise you that I will give you and our child a stable living environment. I will let you live a life of luxury and wealth."”
Jing Li shook her head. She didn't want to be rich, and she didn't know what it meant.
She was just an assassin. She received missions, completed missions, and repeated them. This was her life.
"Tomorrow, I will go and bid farewell to Teacher. After that, we will return to the State of Qin!”
Ying Wei gripped the shoulder of the Startling Salamander and said without a doubt.
