The whole family is insanely eavesdropping on my thoughts Chapter 641
Chapter 641: Stirring Trouble for Fun
“For our son’s First Birthday Object-Grabbing Ceremony, I must make it grand and magnificent, a celebration across the Three Realms!”
“Last time, our wedding was too rushed, and you suffered grievances. I will make it up to you in the future.”
Zhu Mo rarely left home these days. Ever since A-Wu became pregnant, he had fallen completely into doting mode. Now, he behaved like a fool in love—spending his days making clothes and toys for the child, even researching baby food?!
“Since I have some free time these days, I want to return to the Dragon Clan.”
“I must find a way to divorce that old woman. If she refuses, then I’ll have the Dragon Clan dissolve the marriage on my behalf. Our dear son must rightfully become the Dragon Crown Prince.” He gently stroked A-Wu’s belly.
A-Wu was four months pregnant, and her belly was beginning to show.
Just as Zhu Mo placed his large hand on her abdomen, he suddenly felt movement against his palm.
“It moved! It moved! Is that my son moving?!” Zhu Mo nearly jumped up. That deep feeling of bloodline connection almost brought him to tears.
A-Wu smiled softly, caressing her belly with warmth in her eyes.
“Very well, I shall wait for your good news.”
“However, you have openly betrayed the Celestial Realm and are standing with Chao Chao. You must be cautious.” A-Wu’s voice was gentle, and Zhu Mo, in front of her, found himself unable to speak properly.
“Don’t worry, the Dragon Clan values bloodline above all. The old Dragon King, for the sake of preserving the clan, may have banished me with harsh words, but in truth, I am the only direct descendant. How could he truly cast me out? Besides, you are carrying a Dragon Clan child…”
The Dragon Clan had difficulty producing offspring—each one was a golden treasure.
“Now is the perfect time. I can use the excuse that I have betrayed the Celestial Realm and am unworthy of the Phoenix Clan marriage. This is the best opportunity to sever the ties.”
A-Wu lowered her head and lightly hummed in response.
“Stay home and rest. I’ll be back soon.” Zhu Mo spoke seriously.
A-Wu had been pregnant for over four months already. It could not be delayed any longer.
He immediately instructed Windchaser and A-Man to watch over A-Wu, then hurried off to the Dragon Clan.
The smile on A-Wu’s face disappeared instantly, and she coldly watched his departing figure.
She gently caressed her belly. “Inform the Princess that I am returning to my family home. I shall not be long.”
She paused.
“Do not tell Zhu Mo.”
With her rounded belly, she walked away leisurely. Before long, she had vanished beyond the courtyard gate.
When Lu Chao Chao heard the news, her eyes sparkled with gossip. “A divorce? Good, good, good! I love watching tragic pursuit! Oh, wait, he probably won’t even get the chance to pursue her… That’s the best kind of ending. I absolutely despise how those story books always—”
“What do the books say?” Xie Yu Zhou asked, holding a golden alms bowl gifted by the Great Priest. The bowl still emitted golden light, dazzling to the eye.
Inside the alms bowl, neatly cut desert melons gleamed—crisp and sweet.
“You’re using a sacred alms bowl to hold melon slices? The Great Priest is going to weep again! That was used by the Buddha’s Child during his enlightenment…” Lu Chao Chao’s head ached at the sight.
Xie Yu Zhou fanned himself. “Not my fault. It’s already autumn, yet it’s still stuffy beyond reason. Who can endure this? This bowl carries spiritual energy, perfect for chilling the melons—absolutely delightful. Want some?” He speared a piece with a bamboo skewer and handed it to Lu Chao Chao.
She took a bite—ice-cold, refreshing, and incredibly sweet.
“It really is delicious.”
“So, what do those books say?” Xie Yu Zhou asked curiously.
“You’ve never read romance novels?” Lu Chao Chao looked at him with disgust. “Men first torment women—body and soul—leaving them covered in scars. Then, when pursuing them afterward, it’s called a tragic pursuit, and they somehow end up reconciling?!”
“Who writes garbage like that? Are they sick in the head?”
“If anyone dares torment me, I’ll dig up their eighteen generations of ancestors and grind them into dust! They still want forgiveness? Pah!” she spat in disdain. “I am not into pain and suffering.”
Xie Yu Zhou’s hand, mid-bite, paused slightly. “I’ll remember that.”
Lu Chao Chao: …
“With that look on your face, Master Shi Kong is going to cry again… He keeps appearing in my dreams, apologizing to me and begging me to send you back to the temple.” Lu Chao Chao rubbed her temples in frustration.
Xie Yu Zhou waved his hand dismissively. “First, marry a wife, then seek enlightenment. This way, neither Buddha nor my beloved shall be betrayed.”
“Hold the sutra in one hand, cradle the baby in the other—career and love, both in my grasp.”
Just as he finished speaking, a loud bang sounded at the entrance.
The Great Priest, tripping over his robes, nearly fell to his knees. His expression was one of pure horror and despair as he stared at Xie Yu Zhou.
Without missing a beat, Xie Yu Zhou hid the golden alms bowl behind him. The Great Priest already looked fragile—if he saw the sacred bowl filled with melon slices, he might just die of rage on the spot.
Meanwhile, Shan Shan, sneakily glancing around, hurriedly knelt before the window, hands pressed together in a silent prayer.
“Merciful Buddha, please… let those under my command behave themselves today. Please, let them not stir trouble.”
“Today is my first birthday. Please, no trouble.”
If they caused a mess, Lu Chao Chao would strike him with lightning.
For the entire day, Shan Shan was on edge.
At the same time, Zhu Mo was causing an uproar in the Dragon Clan, slamming the table in fury.
Facing off against the Dragon Clan Elders, the Dragon King glared at him, barely suppressing his rage. “Last time, you claimed you wanted to conquer the world, to achieve greatness! And what did you do?! You went and committed treason, nearly annihilating clans!”
“Because of you, we Dragons have shut our doors, fearing Celestial Realm’s retaliation!”
“Now you demand we help you divorce the Phoenix Clan?! Do you want to kill the entire Dragon Clan?!”
“How did I end up with such a rebellious son?! You will be the death of me!” The Dragon King’s face was flushed red, nearly fainting from anger.
Zhu Mo looked somewhat guilty. “Father, there are reasons I must follow Lu Chao Chao.”
“I will explain later.”
“You once forced me to marry into the Phoenix Clan for their sacred treasure. I tricked them into both marriage and treasure. I have done my duty.”
“But to live as husband and wife with Feng Wu? Over my dead body!”
“I cannot go in person, but you can go to the Phoenix Clan and arrange the divorce! I am a fugitive wanted by the Celestial Realm. Surely, they will let me go now?”
The Dragon King trembled with rage. “A union between the Dragon and Phoenix Clans is powerful! You ungrateful fool!”
The Dragon Clan Elders also tried to reason with him. “Even after your betrayal, the Phoenix Clan still stood by you. A wife like that—what more could you ask for?”
“If you push for divorce, it may turn to war between our Clans. Worse, the Three Realms will condemn us!”
Zhu Mo smirked.
“I am about to be a father.”
The elders fell silent.
“My wife is mortal, but extremely fortunate. She is already pregnant, and…” Zhu Mo’s lips curled into a confident smile.
This was his ace, the very reason he dared return.
“I can already sense it—our child carries the Ancestor Dragon’s bloodline.”
The Dragon King, who had been raging moments ago, shot to his feet. The fury on his face vanished, replaced by shock and joy.
“Is this true?!”
“Are you certain?!”
