"What do you mean by giving birth...? I don't understand what you mean. Anyway, let me go first, this position is too..."
"Too what?"
"So embarrassing..."
"But what can I do if I like to savor you like this?" Qin Muxue smiled teasingly.
"Too talkative..." At this moment, Gu Baizhi's face was already flushed.
"Oh~" Qin Muxue pinched Gu Baizhi's chin, slowly bringing her face closer to Gu Baizhi's, pressing her forehead against Gu Baizhi's. She looked into Gu Baizhi's thin, light brown eyes, her smile widening.
"Qin Muxue! Qin Muxue!"
Gu Baizhi shouted Qin Muxue's name loudly, because she didn't know whether Qin Muxue's actions were due to her own alluring nature clouding her senses, or whether she was doing it intentionally to bully her.
Qin Muxue gently placed her finger on Gu Baizhi's lips.
"I've told you many times before, what should you call me?"
"Are you conscious?"
"Otherwise what?"
Gu Baizhi was somewhat surprised, because just now she had tried to suppress the alluring scent, but failed. If it weren't for the scent, why would the alluring scent be tormenting her like this? A terrifying thought suddenly arose in Gu Baizhi's mind.
But she still held onto a sliver of hope. She circulated her spiritual power to sense her alluring bones and discovered that they were no longer releasing fragrance as before; she had indeed suppressed them herself.
If it wasn't because of her allure, then Qin Muxue's continued bullying of her could only mean that Qin Muxue was doing it on purpose, deliberately taking advantage of her.
But Gu Baizhi still refused to believe this fact; she still held onto her last hope.
"Don't do this! They're almost married, and you're acting so intimately with me. What will your husband think of you if he sees this? Quick... let me go..."
"Oh, you were right about the beginning, but there's a problem with what you said later."
"What do you mean... Did I say something wrong...?"
"I am indeed getting married, but I don't actually have a husband yet~"
Qin Muxue looked at Gu Baizhi with a playful smile on her lips.
"You're really joking... How can you start a family without a husband..."
"Who says I need a husband to start a family? Can't I marry a beautiful and lovely wife?"
After she finished speaking, Qin Muxue gently touched Gu Baizhi's cheek.
"Right, Mrs. Gu?"
After hearing Qin Muxue's words, Gu Baizhi felt like her world had collapsed. From the moment Qin Muxue rescued her from the Southern Barbarian King, she hadn't escaped; she had simply jumped from one wolf den into another.
Gu Baizhi is now completely certain that Qin Muxue is a slut, and that she desires her body.
"Don't joke around. We're both women, and there's no such thing as a future between women... You're a princess of Western Qin. If you don't have any children, the throne will be yours..."
Before Gu Baizhi could finish speaking, Qin Muxue gently covered her mouth with her hand. She looked at Gu Baizhi with a playful expression.
"You're right, the succession to the throne does require offspring, but who says I'm definitely not going to have any? What do you think, Madam Gu?"
Then, just like before, she put her mouth next to Gu Baizhi's ear.
"Just have Mrs. Gu give me one, that'll do," Qin Muxue said playfully.
"I'm a woman... how could I give birth to your child? You must be joking..."
"I'm not joking, you know, everything I said is true" she said, then gently blew warm breath into Gu Baizhi's ear.
"Hmm~" Gu Baizhi couldn't help but let out another muffled groan.
Suddenly, the air was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere again. Qin Muxue stopped pretending. She released her grip on Gu Baizhi's hand and then smoothly swept her into a princess carry. Gu Baizhi was still completely bewildered and hadn't reacted at all. By the time she did, Qin Muxue was already pinning her down.
"Don't... people will misunderstand."
"It's alright, because you're already mine. His Majesty will bestow your hand in marriage upon me tomorrow, and you will be my wife. No one will misunderstand."
"We're both women, how can we get married..." Gu Baizhi still wanted to put up a final resistance. Because judging from Qin Muxue's current attitude, she was determined to take advantage of her today.
"What's the problem? As long as I have offspring, those old fogies in the court don't care whether I marry a man or a woman," Qin Muxue said nonchalantly.
"We can't have children..." Gu Baizhi wanted to retort, but Qin Muxue silenced her with a sudden, unexpected kiss. Qin Muxue savored the taste of Gu Baizhi's lips; the kiss was warm and intoxicating to Qin Muxue. But to Gu Baizhi, the kiss was domineering. She felt like the pampered wife of a domineering CEO in a modern romance novel she had read, forced into a kiss and unable to resist, only able to let Qin Muxue deepen the kiss and relentlessly pursue her.
After kissing for a long time, Qin Muxue reluctantly released Gu Baizhi's lips.
"Who told you that women can't have children?" Qin Muxue asked with a touch of domineering.
"It shouldn't be allowed in the first place…" Gu Baizhi retorted.
"Then I'll tell you, I've found a way to get you pregnant with our child."
"How could...this be possible..."
"Why is it impossible?" Qin Muxue said. After saying that, she told Gu Baizhi how the "Taiyin Nurturing Spirit Technique" enabled women to have children.
"Well, if you don't believe me, we can try it now. Today happens to be the time of extreme Yin."
Qin Muxue said with amusement.
Gu Baizhi gripped the bedsheets tightly, biting her lip. She was already heartbroken. In her previous world, she was a perfect protagonist in a wish-fulfillment novel, but in this world, first, she was betrayed and forced into a relationship by Liu Yin, that rebellious disciple. Now, she was to be married to another woman, and even forced to bear her child. Even though she was already used to a woman's life, she simply couldn't accept the thought of bearing her own child.
"don't want..."
"What did you say? You think you can refuse me?"
"I don't want to be a wife, I don't want to have children..." Gu Baizhi said, her voice filled with grievance. Tears streamed uncontrollably down her face. Qin Muxue looked at Gu Baizhi, her eyes glistening with tears, and her heart softened. She gently wiped away Gu Baizhi's tears, then stepped away from her and held her in her arms like a child.
"Okay, let's not have children now, alright?" He patted Gu Baizhi's back like he was coaxing a child.
"Really"
"Of course, but the marriage still has to take place. As for the child, we can have it later."
