Chapter Six: The Same Heart Knot

  After the Ling Tian Dream Space came out, Lin Yixuan found that the sky had already completely darkened. In the space, Lin Yixuan got Snow's explanation that to enter the trial space, one must have at least the ability to fight ten with one, and Lin Yixuan was still slightly inferior now. The most important thing was that his physical body was too poor. So Lin Yixuan decided to seize the time to exercise his body.

  As for the lottery, Lin Yixuan decided to earn some more energy points before proceeding. He even started looking forward to directly drawing an enhanced physique option in the next lottery.

  Lin Yixuan got up and moved slightly, his body aching to death. It seemed that the aftereffects of practicing in the study space were hard to eliminate. He let out a helpless sigh and looked up at the electronic clock on the wall, only to find that it was already past 8 pm. He had been in the study space for such a long time without even realizing it.

  Just then, the door outside suddenly opened and Shangguan Xueyan and Shangguan Mingyue walked in laughing and chatting. When Shangguan Mingyue saw Lin Yixuan, she smiled and said: "Yixuan, you're up, here, this is some snacks we bought outside, we've already eaten ours, this is your share."

  Lin Yixuan took the snack from Shangguan Mingyue's hand and thanked her in a hurry. Looking at Shangguan Xueyan and Shangguan Mingyue, who were holding big and small bags, it was obvious that they had just returned from shopping.

  "I was going to ask you to help me get something, but mom saw that you were sleeping so soundly and didn't let me disturb you." Shangguan Xueyan said to Lin Yixuan at this time, just like a real wife.

  Lin Yixuan was indeed somewhat unaccustomed to Guan Xueyan's attitude.

  "Alright, you go eat first, I'll help mom put away the things we bought." Xiang Yue looked at Lin Yuxuan's dazed expression and said another sentence before going upstairs with Xiang Mingyue.

  Lin Yixuan, however, was still a bit distracted. The gentle words from earlier were really comforting, and Lin Yixuan almost fell into them. If their marriage was real, that would be great. Such a beautiful person, he really wanted to have her all to himself. But this could only be a thought, if he dared to reveal such thoughts, perhaps Shangguan Xueyan would immediately drive him away.

  After finishing the snacks brought back by Shangguan Mingyue, Lin Yixuan slowly moved his sore body. It seemed that he had to seize the time to temper his body, otherwise, not to mention learning those earth-shattering martial arts, even if it was just a simple fighting technique, it would cost him half his life. When he learned the three skills before, he only used one night's time to learn all three to advanced level, but for the fighting technique, he spent an entire afternoon and only just began to learn, the biggest drag being his physical strength problem.

  So Lin Yixuan decided to exercise his physical strength first, and as for learning in the space, he still chose some that mainly relied on brain power.

  "Yi Xuan, come here." Just then, Shangguan Xueyan's clear and cold voice with a hint of softness came from behind.

  Lin Yixuan turned his head and was stunned, only to see that Shangguan Xueyan was now wearing a pure white nightgown, her slightly damp hair hanging straight down to her waist, her absolutely beautiful face with a faint blush, making her even more captivating. Judging from Shangguan Xueyan's appearance, she seemed to have just finished taking a bath.

  "What's wrong?" Lin Yixuan asked.

  "My mom is going to stay here for a while, and you'll be staying here during that time, is that okay?" asked Shangguan Xueyan slowly.

  "No problem, but there are some things I need to go back and pack up." Lin Yixuan nodded, he had known since he found out that Shangguan Mingyue was coming that it would be like this. After all, he and Shangguan Xueyan were now husband and wife, of course they should live together, at least until Shangguan Mingyue left.

  "We can pick up the stuff tomorrow, let's just leave it for today, it's getting late, let's rest first. But you slept for a whole afternoon, so you shouldn't be too tired, right?" Shangguan Xueyan glanced at Lin Yixuan with a faint expression, but Lin Yixuan felt a bit embarrassed, as he had spent the entire afternoon studying in the study space, which in Shangguan Xueyan's eyes meant that he had slept for a whole afternoon.

  "Then where should I go to rest?" Lin Yixuan asked slowly, in fact he was really tired, although his spirit was still good, but his body ached to death, really wanting to lie down on the bed and rest for a while.

  "It's natural to come to my room." Shangguan Xueyan gave Lin Yixuan a faint glance, but Lin Yixuan could see a hint of shyness in the depths of Shangguan Xueyan's beautiful eyes.

  Lin Yixuan was taken aback, a husband and wife should originally sleep in the same room, but when Shangguan Xueyan said it out loud, he suddenly felt a surge of excitement, being in the same room as such a stunning beauty made him unable to contain his emotions.

  Shangguan Xueyan's room is very elegant, everything is white, it seems that Shangguan Xueyan likes white very much. The interior decoration is also simple, with two wardrobes, a bookshelf, a dressing table, a desk, a TV hanging on the wall and a bed.

  Would he be sleeping with Shangguan Xueyan on this bed tonight, Lin Yixuan stared directly at the double bed, his heart racing with excitement.

  But Shangguan Xueyan's words shattered Lin Yixuan's fantasy.

  "There are quilts in the wardrobe next door, take them out and spread them on the floor."

  Lin Yixuan's heart suddenly calmed down, and he secretly laughed at himself for being too imaginative. After all, how could Shangguan Xueyan possibly share a bed with him? He was thinking too much.

  After taking out the bedding from the closet and laying it out, Lin Yixuan went to take a bath again. Originally, he thought he had already washed during the day and didn't need to wash again, but unexpectedly, Shangguan Xueyan insisted that he wash once more.

  After washing, Lin Yixuan didn't wear clothes either, and walked out of the bathroom directly in his underwear.

  "How did you come out so suddenly?" Shangguan Xueyan's face turned slightly red, her eyebrows lightly furrowed, and a hint of displeasure appeared on her face as she saw Lin Yixuan's appearance.

  "Sleep." Lin Yixuan glanced at Shangguan Xueyan, couldn't she let him sleep without wearing clothes?

  Shangguan Xueyan was taken aback. She had prepared all the clothes for Lin Yixuan, but she hadn't prepared any pajamas, which made her secretly regret it.

  Lin Yixuan saw that Shangguan Xueyan didn't say anything else, so he went to the bed by the window. Originally, he wanted to make the bed at the bedside, but Shangguan Xueyan directly told him to move away from the bed a bit.

  Just as Lin Yixuan was about to lie down, the door suddenly rang out, and Lin Yixuan was stunned. He looked up at Shangguan Xueyan, who happened to be looking over at him.

  "Xue Yan, open the door." At this time, Shangguan Mingyue's voice came from outside the door.

  "Mom, we've already gone to sleep. Is there something?" Shangguan Xueyan replied, not wanting Shangguan Mingyue to come in. If she came in now, it wouldn't be good. At the same time, she whispered to Lin Yixuan: "Quickly hide the things on the ground."

  Lin Yixuan helplessly rolled up the bedspread again and put it back in the cabinet.

  "Open the door, I have something for you." Shangguan Mingyue said again.

  "Let's give it tomorrow, we've all gone to sleep already." Shangguan Xueyan pretended to yawn and said.

  "No, open the door now." Shangguan Mingyue's attitude was very firm, without any room for negotiation.

  Shangguan Xueyan felt a wave of helplessness and wanted to let Lin Yixuan go open the door, but seeing Lin Yixuan's naked body, she immediately stopped talking. She couldn't possibly let Lin Yixuan go out like that to see her mother, could she?

  "Mom, wait a minute, I'll put on my clothes." Shangguan Xueyan said to the outside.

  "No need to dress up, I'll just hand over the things and leave, hurry up." Upper Official Mingyue urged.

  "Go to bed and lie down." Shang Guan Xue Yan directly turned her head and said to Lin Yi Xuan.

  Lin Yixuan heard this and immediately took action, rushing to the bed. On Yuexiang's bed, there was a faint scent of fragrance that was unmistakably Yuexiang's body scent. At this time, Yuexiang had already gone down to open the door.

  Shangguan Xueyan stood directly at the door and asked: "Mom, what are you going to give me?"

  "It's not for you, it's for both of you. Come on in quickly." Shangguan Mingyue walked directly into the house, and Shangguan Xueyan couldn't stop her either.

  "Mom." Lin Yixuan sat up with his upper body exposed and greeted Shangguan Mingyue.

  "Yi Xuan, I've obtained a lock of conjugal love for you. As long as you and Xue Yan tie the knot together, you can be together for a lifetime." Shangguan Mingyue smiled lightly and took out a small wooden box from her bosom. The box opened to reveal a red thread inside.

  "Mother, this is superstition, it's useless." Xue Yan felt a wave of frustration, she never thought that Ming Yue would believe in such things.

  "How could it not work? This is the red thread that was blessed in the Temple of Fate." Xiang Guan Ming Yue smiled lightly, then said to Xiang Guan Xue Yan: "You also go to bed and rest well, I will make sure the Double Heart Knot is done properly for you both."

  Shangguan Xueyan had no choice but to listen to Shangguan Mingyue's words, and got on the bed. Lin Yixuan saw that there was also a hint of reluctance in her eyes. The two lay down according to Shangguan Mingyue's words, with only their hands exposed outside.

  "Join your hands together and I will tie a knot of unity for you." said Shangguan Mingyue once again.

  Shangguan Xueyan reluctantly held hands with Lin Yixuan, feeling the soft and smooth small hand in his palm. Lin Yixuan was taken aback, he had always thought that "soft as boneless" was just a figure of speech, but Shangguan Xueyan's small hand was absolutely soft enough.

  After their ten fingers intertwined, Shangguan Mingyue lowered her body and tied the red thread around the wrists of the two people, then tied a beautiful knot.

  After finishing, Upper Official Ming Yue lightly laughed and said: "Alright, tonight you two must tie it up like this, don't take it down, otherwise it won't work, did you hear? Upper Official Ming Yue once again instructed the two of them before leaving.

  Until Shangguan Mingyue went out, Shangguan Xueyan finally let out a breath of relief and then sat up directly, while Lin Yixuan was also pulled up directly.

  "Find something to untie this knot." Officer Xue Yan's delicate eyebrows furrowed, looking uncomfortable being tied together with Lin Yixuan.

  Lin Yixuan looked down at the knot and said helplessly, "This is a dead knot, it can't be untied, we have to cut it open with scissors."

  "There's a pair of scissors in the bedside table on your side, hurry up and get it out." Shangguan Xueyan said anxiously, her calm face was flushed with a faint red glow, unsure whether it was from anxiety or shyness.

  Lin Yixuan hastily leaned over to open the bedside cabinet next to him, and indeed there was a pair of scissors inside. He took them out directly and cut towards the knot that bound the two people together. However, after cutting once, Lin Yixuan froze. The scissors seemed to have cut into steel wire, unable to cut through it at all. Lin Yixuan tried again, but it was still the same. He couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart, wondering if there really was steel wire mixed inside.

  "What are you doing?" Shangguan Xueyan saw Lin Yixuan cut twice but couldn't open the knot, and a hint of anger appeared on her absolutely beautiful face.

  "This thing is too hard and can't be cut open." Lin Yixuan helplessly thought that Shangguan Xueyan had misunderstood him, thinking he was trying to take advantage of the situation.

  "Bring it here, I'll cut it myself." Shangguan Xueyan didn't believe Lin Yixuan's words at all, and directly snatched the scissors away from him. Then, she aimed at the same heart knot and cut it fiercely. The momentum was so strong that Lin Yixuan even suspected that she might cut off his own hand together with the knot.

  The knot under the scissors is still intact and undamaged, and it's not because of Shangguan Xueyan being a beauty that they will let her off easily.

  "Good grief, Mother, where did you get this thing from? It can't even be cut." Shangguan Xueyan said with some distress after trying for a while longer.

  Shangguan Xueyan struggled for a while longer but still couldn't untie the knot, and instead ended up exhausting both of them.

  "Whatever, let's talk about it tomorrow." Lin Yixuan said listlessly, he was too tired now, his body had been overworked from practicing martial arts, and after accompanying Shangguan Xueyan for a while, all Lin Yixuan wanted to do now was lie down and rest.

  Shangguan Xueyan was also very helpless, but she couldn't let Lin Yixuan sleep beside her, it was simply impossible. However, looking at Lin Yixuan's exhausted appearance, she couldn't bear to not let him sleep either. Helplessly, she could only let Lin Yixuan sleep first, while she herself prepared to stay up until dawn, and then think of a way to open this heart knot.
