Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Black Feather Order

In such a setting, the atmosphere became somewhat romantic, but this time, Qi Yue didn’t forget the matter at hand and took a moment before she spoke.

“Zhao Xiyan, I want to…”

Just as she began speaking, Zhao Xiyan interrupted her.

“Yueyue, there’s something I want to tell you first.”

Qi Yue tensed up immediately. He couldn’t be about to talk about that white moonlight of his, could he?

That would really kill the mood!

...

“What do you want to talk about? I don’t want to hear about irrelevant matters or people,” she said, deliberately pouting.

“Heh.” Zhao Xiyan reached out and pinched her nose.

“What’s on that little mind of yours all day long? If it’s irrelevant, why would I talk about it? It’s naturally about you.”

Qi Yue continued to look displeased. After all, that other woman could be considered related to her!

“Alright, I just want Yueyue to call me by a different name,” Zhao Xiyan pulled her hand, smiling, “I want to hear you call me something else, not always ‘Zhao Xiyan, Zhao Xiyan,’ as if we’re strangers.”

Seeing Qi Yue’s astonished gaze, Zhao Xiyan continued, “If Yueyue likes it this way, you don’t have to change.”

“No, no, no, it has to change,” Qi Yue quickly nodded her head, thinking it was some big issue.

That was easy! She had been wanting to call Zhao Xiyan by different names in various ways but was worried he was too staid to accept it!

“What do you want me to call you?” She moved closer to Zhao Xiyan with a smile, seriously admiring his exceptionally beautiful face.

“Husband?… I’m afraid that’s not yet appropriate. You haven’t married me yet.”

Zhao Xiyan looked at the little face so close at hand, his heart brimming with elation.

This little woman of his was indeed different from other women.

When she was cold, it scared him just to look at her, but once she warmed up, she was truly capable of setting him ablaze.

He controlled the urge to kiss those red lips and said earnestly, “Then let’s save that term for the future. After we finish our business here, we’ll get married. By then, you can call me ‘husband.’ For now, let’s choose something else.”

“That’s fine, I’ll just call you whatever comes to mind. Who knows, I might change it up every day?”

“Good.”

Seeing Zhao Xiyan looking so eager, Qi Yue also harbored a bit of mischief in her heart, so she boldly brought her lips to his ear and whispered softly.

“Today, I’ll call you ‘handsome brother.’ How about that?”

The scent of a young woman instantly invaded all of Zhao Xiyan’s senses, and he paused before realizing it was Qi Yue’s lips that had touched his cheek.

Her voice was both coy and naive, seizing his heart in a tumultuous grip, clamoring for him to do something.

Already emotionally stirred, he had been careful not to get too close to Qi Yue for fear of frightening her, but as she leaned into him again and again, speaking in that way, he found himself unable to control his actions.

His hands almost automatically wrapped around Qi Yue, his throat constricting with a sudden and intense surge.

Holding the little woman he loved so deeply, Zhao Xiyan’s restless chest also rejoiced as he sighed.

“Yueyue, I adore everything about you…”

Before he could finish, he gave in to the urge and captured those lips that were so tantalizingly near.

The first kiss between lovers is always sweet, although in terms of technique, both Zhao Xiyan and Qi Yue belonged to the very least skilled category.

But this was perfect, giving them both room to learn and improve together.

Initially, Qi Yue nearly bit Zhao Xiyan’s lip in her attempt to keep the upper hand.

She had seen it all before, and quickly she began to guide Zhao Xiyan quite expertly.

Men can be more competitive, however.

Zhao Xiyan, who had just left novice village, naturally sought to catch up, and what began as a sweet kiss turned into a competition of breath-holding between them.

In the end, it was Qi Yue who collapsed first into Zhao Xiyan’s arms, gasping for breath with wide eyes.

“You… you take advantage of my short breath…”

Zhao Xiyan simply chuckled softly.

“Then let’s go again, and this time it’s your turn to bully me.”

With that, he bent down and accurately captured those red, luscious lips again.

Qi Yue pushed Zhao Xiyan away in protest, but the next second she was lost in his tender kisses, like the ebb and flow of the tide.

This man really had become cunning!

The first kiss already had so many variations….

For a moment, Qi Yue even felt like under the loving licks of Zhao Xiyan, she turned into an adorably fluffy little lamb, powerless to escape….

“Yueyue…”

“Mm…”

“Yueyue….”

…..

Their first intimacy lingered for quite some time before it ended.

When she heard Zhao Xiyan mention that one more kiss was needed to end it, Qi Yue quickly covered her already numb lips.

“No more, I still need my mouth to talk!”

This cute remark made Zhao Xiyan laugh out loud again.

“All right, now you can talk.”

Qi Yue glared at Zhao Xiyan, “If it weren’t for your domineering ways, I would have finished talking a long time ago.”

“Okay, blame me. But Yueyue also has a bit of responsibility.”

“What responsibility do I have?”

“Yueyue is too sweet…”

Before Zhao Xiyan could finish, Qi Yue hastily placed her hand over his mouth which made her blush with shame.

This man, she really couldn’t understand him.

What happened to being cold and aloof?

This change was just too quick!

“From now on, you’re not allowed to speak, listen to me.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to Yueyue.”

As soon as Zhao Xiyan opened his mouth, the warm breath instantly dampened her palm.

Qi Yue hurriedly drew her hand back, but he took the opportunity to plant a kiss on it.

Her palm felt awkwardly wet, and her heart seemed to have dozens of bunnies hopping inside.

At this rate, she might as well consummate the marriage with him tonight.

Qi Yue startled herself with the thought and immediately straightened out her thinking.

She wasn’t that bothered by it.

Putting aside matters of marriage, she had already turned nineteen and was considered a mature girl.

Besides, she deeply loved Zhao Xiyan and had no regrets being together with him.

However, people in this place were extremely conservative and since she lived among them, it was better to follow certain rules.

Thinking this, she quickly steered the topic towards more serious matters and brought up the Military Supply Officer.

As soon as she mentioned this, Zhao Xiyan understood what she meant and knew that Qi Yue wanted to discreetly help him, just like she had taken care of his family on the road to exile.

After all, he had watched with his own eyes as Qi Yue emptied Hu Chengxuan’s massive storeroom, and the countless items from the Fox King Residence and Yewang Prefecture had all been moved into that mysterious location.

He boldly guessed that the place not only held treasures of gold and silver but also had a significant stock of food and other scarce items necessary for military development.

But he couldn’t pretend to know nothing and place such a heavy burden on Qi Yue’s shoulders.

And he saw how happy Qi Yue was when she collected those items, which clearly meant she liked them. It would upset her if he took them out just like that, wouldn’t it?

With this in mind, Zhao Xiyan took her hand in his, placed it in his palm, and said earnestly, “Yueyue, the post of Military Supply Officer is extremely arduous, and I don’t want you to suffer through that.”

As he saw Qi Yue about to object, he quickly stopped her.

“—However, I do need help managing the rear, and the Military Supply Officer will have to follow your orders, can you do that?”

“Manage the rear?” Qi Yue’s eyes flickered, “Is it like being a steward?”

“Mhm.”

Before Qi Yue could say anything else, Zhao Xiyan took out the cone-shaped black jade pendant from his chest and placed it into Qi Yue’s palm.@@novelbin@@

“This is the Black Feather Order, with it you can freely mobilize all the money, provisions, and manpower within Rishengchang.”
