6006-6022 Making Up

Entry 6025 Chapter 6006 和好吗？1

6006 “Humph humph, to dare bully my family’s Young Lord, he should be beaten! Worry not Young Lord, Madame Wind will now go to support you!” Madame Wind makes for the exit.
“Aiya, what are you anxiously yelling about? Managing the Treasure Pavilion well is enough. So much gossip!” SL unhappily eyes Madame Wind, then explains, “And also, if that person comes, just say I’m not here!”
Madame Wind asks who that person is, even though she already knows the answer. Only NL can make SL’s mood go up and down like this. Madame Wind is teasing SL.
“You still ask?” SL gives her a grumpy look then turns around and enters her room.
Madame Wind wryly smiles as SL leaves, her heart un-warped by her sympathies towards NL.
At the Longfeng Estate, Lady Nangong is complaining to Nanny White while pacing. Nanny White reassures her SL is just piqued. Lady Nangong agrees and asks how her son could be so stupid as to let SL leave with Leng7. Lady Nangong becomes anxious again and declares she will not lose her future daughter in law and little grandson. Lady Nangong charges outside with Nanny White following, trying to put a cloak on her Lady while warning it’s cold.
Lady Nangong kicks open a door. NL is sitting in a chair with the white fox on a table before him. He doesn’t react. Lady Nangong glares for a moment at the white fox, then walks towards NL with her hands on her hips and shouts his name! NL looks up blankly, his expression slack. Lady Nangong glares at him unhappily and demands to know why he’s still here.
“If not here, where else?” NL asks.
“To find Luo girl! You’ve wronged Luo girl so! Do you still have the face to sit here?”
Lady Nangong moves over to his side to get a better look. NL is holding a dagger in one hand and the white fox in the other. Fresh blood flows from the little white fox’s eyes and into a bowl. Lady Nangong scolds him for still playing with the fox and reaches for the bowl.
“Don’t move!” NL’s expression becomes slightly cold as his hand covers the bowl.
Lady Nangong flips over the table the bowl was on. Lady Nangong scolds him further for not fighting harder for SL, that he will regret it. She washes her hands of him and says she will happily drink a toast to SL and Leng7’s wedding when it comes, then leaves in a huff.
After draining the white fox of blood, NL then starts to slowly skin it. He has to admit, the little white fox’s coat shines brilliantly. It’s very beautiful, all girls would appreciate it.

6007 NL personally skins the white fox’s fur and hand crafts a beautiful scarf. After finishing, NL raises his head and looks out the window. It’s already dark outside, and it’s begun to snow some unknown time ago. The goose feather like snowflakes flutter about. It’s very beautiful, but it’s also cold and windy. It hardly snows at the Imperial Capital, but when it does, it’s the coldest day of the year. On days like this, almost no one will be outside. Even those with a profound cultivation would not dare to casually touch this holy snow. This is World Destroying Snow. Even those at Lesser God realm may not necessarily be able to hold up to it.
NL pushes open the doors and leaves.
NL has been gone for a while when Lady Nangong returns in a rush, yelling, “World Destroying Snow is falling! You cannot leave today! You can only go outside tomorrow, do you hear me Nangong Liuyun!”
Bang!
NL’s gate is pushed aside by Lady Nangong. It’s completely empty with not a person to be seen. Lady Nangong grows muddleheaded for a moment, then shouts for Spring Moon and Summer Moon. It’s snowing, no one dares travel right now. They both appear quickly before her. Lady Nangong asks with great irritation where NL is. Spring Moon and Summer Moon were stewing the white fox’s meat.
They quickly reply, “Isn’t 2nd Young Master in his room? He should still be making blood pills.”
“There was no one there!” Lady Nangong is so anxious she starts to coldly sweat. She has a bad feeling.
Spring Moon and Summer Moon search the whole house but not so much as NL’s shadow is to be seen. Spring Moon ignorantly asks if NL might have gone outside? Summer Moon crossly answers that it’s World Destroying Snow. 2nd Young Master knows better than to…
Inspiration shines upon Summer Moon and she shouts her speculation that perhaps NL went to look for SL. She then orders Spring Moon to look for the blood pills and white fox fur. NL had said he meant those for SL. Both maids rapidly search the house again. How could they not be in a hurry? Today, World Destroying Snow is falling! The cold is only one aspect, what’s most important is that there are evil spirits within the World Destroying Snow. Once infected by the evil spirits, your life is over. Although 2nd Young Master is at the Lesser God realm and can face the evil spirits, he’ll still be helpless.
In the end, they cannot find the fur nor the blood pills. The maids don’t know what to do. Lady Nangong tells them to get a carriage and search. Then she evaluates them again and says they’re of no use in this due to the snow. Lady Nangong tells Zi Yi they need to go find the Elders and have them search. The Clan Elders are formidable and can resist the snow. Lady Nangong realizes how foolish this matter is and how absurd it is to involve the Elders, but NL’s life is in danger, how can she dare delay?

6008 Lady Nangong cannot move the Clan Elders so she lifts her skirts and quickly goes to see Patriarch Nangong. On normal days, Lady Nangong is afraid of Patriarch Nangong, but at a time like this, Lady Nangong feels that Patriarch Nangong is gentle and adorable. Like the Monkey King’s Staff, he gives people the ultimate sense of security.
After listening to Lady Nangong, Patriarch Nangong frowns, “Gong2 went to find Luo girl?”
Lady Nangong confirms, then complains about the World Destroying Snow falling today instead of yesterday or tomorrow.
Patriarch Nangong smiles coldly, “How do you know your son wasn’t specifically waiting for this World Destroying Snow?”
Lady Nangong responds with sounds of confusion, she doesn’t understand.
Patriarch Nangong gives her a deep look, then shakes his head, “Enough, don’t say any more.”
Lady Nangong continues to asks questions about NL and whether or not the Elders will be sent, but Patriarch Nangong just gives her a faint look and she immediately goes silent.
“This Su Luo really is troublesome.” Patriarch Nangong frowns, apparently somewhat displeased.
Lady Nangong opens her mouth to try and explain, but under Patriarch Nangong’s frosty look, she doesn’t dare speak. It’s unknown how, but after not very long, multiple shadows appear in Patriarch Nangong’s courtyard. The Longfeng Clan Elders are normally spread all over and only gather when something related to the Clan’s future is involved. One after another, the Clan’s 30 Elders gather together.
Patriarch Nangong matter-of-factly says, “After finding Gong2, bring him back to me!”
Without regard to his own safety, only thinking about courting girls, such an heir is dangerous for the Longfeng Clan! Patriarch Nangong’s eyes flash with ruthless resolve! Lady Nangong does not notice.
At this moment, SL is resting at the Treasure Pavilion. Although she’s recovered somewhat, her injuries were too severe and have not completely recovered. Fortunately, SL is herself the best Imperial level Apothecary so she’s able to create for herself the most suited medicine. It’s now dark, SL has never once left her room and is unaware of that Madame Wind is nervously pottering back and forth by her door.
How could Madam Wind not be anxious. Today, World Destroying Snow falls in the Capital. In such terrible snow, there actually stands one person, and this person, Madame Wind recognizes! This is the Longfeng Clan’s most-most precious treasure, Nangong 2nd Young Master! She wants to rush outside with the utmost speed and hurry. Although she doesn’t know what happened between the two of them, but even if he’s come here to beg, the little ancestor needs to first come into the house to beg, right? Is this a snow people dare be contaminated by? However, what makes Madame Wind collapse is realizing she can’t leave the house. That is to say, a magic force is preventing her from charging out of the house. What is there not to understand? NL is deliberately standing in the snow, enduring the devastation caused by the World Destroying Snow’s evil spirits!

6009 The Young Lord really is something…
Madame Wind rushes to SL’s door, but then remembers her Young Lord’s order to not be disturbed, so instead she potters back and forth in front of the door. SL is meditating, but she has a strand of her divine sense extended so she can hear the anxious footsteps outside. SL lightly sighs, gets off the bed, and cracks open the door.
Madame Wind is surprised to see her but doesn’t say much, she just drags SL out to a nearby window. SL sees NL standing out in the snow, but her gaze only draws across him as she admires the beautiful fluttering white snow. Madame Wind is stunned at SL’s comments on how beautiful the snow is. SL is confused, she just sees it as something beautiful to look at. During her many decades here in the Spirit World, SL has never experienced its snow. Madame Wind finally explains how terrifying the snow is and urges SL to get NL inside, despite whatever misunderstanding they have. She explains that the snow is not something someone at Lesser God can withstand. SL is moved, slightly.

6010 SL looks again at NL. He’s wearing thin clothing while in the snow. Clearly no protection against the cold and the evil spirits. SL clenches her teeth and curls her fists. Why are you doing this now NL? Why today? Why now? Are you deliberately trying to make me feel bad?
NL has been staring at SL since the beginning. Madame Wind urges SL to quickly get out there. SL remains motionless. She feels like she’s being forced. It’s always the case with NL, his schemes and calculations, step by step, accurately calculating each move while the other walks in the palm of his hand.
He deliberately came on the night that the World Destroying Snow fell.
He deliberately stands outside before her window.
He’s deliberately trying to force her…
SL hesitates for a while. Her heart is still furious, but now she has to concede defeat towards him. She hates how black belly he is. She hates how incredible intelligent he is. She hates his precise calculations. She really hates this! SL is depressed and wants to pats her own head. In front of NL’s intelligence, she really does feel hopelessly stupid and a sense of frustration.
“What if I don’t go out?” SL asks while looking out the window at the one who deliberately threw himself into a crisis, and grinds her teeth.
Madame Wind sees that SL is still just standing there and her forehead starts to sweat. She pleads with SL to take this more seriously and that she’s not joking about how dangerous the snow is.
SL believes her. Madame Wind is always calm and collected but now her forehead is sweating. SL asks shouldn’t he be able to resist, as someone at the Lesser God realm? Madame Wind responds, asking what if he chooses not to resist?
“Do you think he’s a fool?” SL glances displeased at her.
“He’s standing in World Destroying Snow. Do you think he’s not fool?” Madame Wind responds helplessly.
Madame Wind reflects on how love turns people to fools. This is easy to solve, just drag him inside! But one is being stubborn, and the other pretentious. Her Young Lord simply does not understand how dangerous the evil spirits of the snow is.
SL humphs and says she doesn’t care, if he can’t stand it any more, he can come in, then turns to leave. He thinks she’ll easily forgive him over the white fox matter because he masochistically stands in the World Destroying Snow? First there was the little plum blossom, then Ning3, now comes a little white fox…
He definitely received her call over the jewel. Obviously he could’ve explained himself clearly, why didn’t he do so?

6011 Why did he allow her to misunderstand? What, did he think she wouldn’t become upset? When SL recalls how she was driven to distraction on that day, she cannot help but feel stupid. She does not want a repetition, NL must remember this! SL coldly snorts, this time she will not bow her head!
While SL is lost in her own thoughts when Madame Wind exclaims that it’s all over. SL turns back to see that a white gas seems to emit from NL’s body and he involuntarily shudders. Madame Wind seizes SL and tells her not to not look any more, go back inside. SL gets a bad feeling right before NL shivers and his face turns green. SL picks up her skirt and rushes out! Madame Wind grabs her hand and tells her not to go outside, it’s dangerous. Madame Wind is most concerned with her own Young Lord, NL is the Longfeng’s Nangong 2nd Young Master, not hers. SL throws off her hand and charges out, Madame Wind follows her. If her Young Lord dies, then what’s the point of her living?
When they get to NL, they see what seem like green snakes crawling beneath his skin. Madame Wind notes these are the evil spirits and tells SL they need to take NL inside. SL did not need to be told and had already picked up NL and slammed the door open on the way inside. While SL settles NL on the bed, he continually stares at her. SL feels overwhelmed by his eyes. When she tries to leave, she finds her hand has been grasped by his. SL lifts her head to look into his eyes. He doesn’t say a word, but his eyes beg in a way that softens the heart. Under these eyes, beautiful beyond words, even SL’s iron heart is moved.
“Let go!” SL in a huff as she glares at him.
“Not letting go!” NL’s grip tightens.
“Nangong Liuyun, let me go! I hate you!” SL fiercely struggles as she tries to get away.
Suddenly, NL makes his move, SL’s legs go soft and she finds herself falling into his arms. SL finds herself unprepared. By the time she recovers, she finds herself imprisoned against his chest, the back of her head is fixed, his lips locked on hers. It’s a ruthless and anxious kiss, strong and overbearing. It doesn’t allow anyone to resist or refuse. SL fiercely struggles, but the more she struggles, the more intense the kiss becomes. SL’s heart becomes more and more disorderly. When SL’s mind becomes clear, she pushes NL away!
Bang!

6012 The back of NL’s head smacks into the bed’s porcelain pillow. Madame Wind hears the noise and thinking something is wrong, rushes in. She sees NL lying in bed, both eyes closed, apparently unconscious. What hasn’t Madame Wind seen? She guesses what happens from the details available.
Madame Wind looks helplessly back at her family’s silly Young Lord and asks if SL doesn’t know what a bed is used for, and that she’d specifically picked out this stone pillow for her. To hit NL like this in his weakened condition, the consequences would be…
“I didn’t do it on purpose.” SL is at a loss while looking at Madame Wind.
Madame Wind: “…”
At this time, NL cries out in pain, drawing SL’s attention. NL’s skin is becoming green and SL anxiously grabs his hand. SL is an Imperial level Apothecary but she doesn’t know how to treat a possession by evil spirits. She has no experience in this.
Suddenly, SL’s hackles rise. She senses danger and turns around to see three people, one old, two middle aged. They look at SL and Madame Wind as if they were ants. When they see NL’s condition, they anxiously walk up to the bed. Especially the old man, his face becomes particularly ugly and he reaches out, ready to take their Young Master back home. However, at an angle that SL cannot see, NL suddenly opens his eyes. They’re as bright as stars, just where are the traces of a poisoned coma? The elder stares blankly.
Scram! NL silently mouths the word. These three elders have a lofty status. Each of them have many grandchildren and disciples and are used to looking down on everything, but now NL is giving them a bossy glare!
The three elders are stunned, but the oldest seems to understand something. He understands that with NL’s strength, NL shouldn’t have succumbed to the evil spirits right at the start. There is only one explanation, and that’s because he deliberately allowed it! Why would he do that? Recalling Patriarch Nangong’s explanation, the elder understands…the Bitter Meat Stratagem.* The elder suddenly turns and glares at SL. SL is caught unawares and feels like she’s been pierced by swords, fallen into an ice cellar, and crushed by a mountain.

* Ruse of self-injury; Inflict injury upon oneself to gain trust. One of the 36 Stratagems.

6013 SL feels like her blood has been condensed and that her body temperature has reached absolute zero. She involuntarily retreats.
The Elder glares at her with bloodthirsty eyes before turning away and giving NL an unfathomable look. Before SL has a handle on what to do, the Elder and the other two turn around and leave. They give SL a complicated look before they leave.
SL rushes to NL when they leave. NL’s eyes are closed, he’s unconscious. What should she do? SL receives a flash of inspiration. Evil Spirits and Bad Luck are only off by one character.* Might they be similar? SL brings out her little black cat from her space. Little black cat is confused at first, but when it senses the evil spirits in NL’s body, its eyes start to shine! It wants to go to NL, but it doesn’t dare.
How could SL not understand little black cat’s thoughts, she quickly shoves him into NL’s arms, “Absorb them!”
Little black cat gives her a weak faint look, can I really?
“What do mean you ‘can you really?'” SL grabs NL’s sleeve and exposes his white wrist.
If it were anyone else, little black cat would’ve long ago started to suck, but isn’t this NL? Little black cat starts to suck uneasily with one eye on NL. The evil spirits are indeed terrifying. The little black cat sucks in only three mouthfuls before it feels like its body has caught fire. Green smoke emits from its mouth. SL takes the little black cat back into her space to allow him to absorb the evil spirits.
SL quietly watches NL, her expression unreadable. If the elders were able to guess at something, cannot SL? Even her little black cat was able to withstand three mouthfuls of the evil spirits. With NL’s strength, how could he be corroded by the evil spirits so quickly? How is he unable to stave off unconsciousness? There’s something fishy about this. Then there’s the warning expression that elder gave her. So, SL just stares at NL. She wants to see something from his face. However, NL is worthy of being NL, he allowed himself to really fall into unconsciousness.
SL: “…”
SL watches over NL from the bedside the whole night before seeing him wake up.
SL’s first words, “You did it on purpose!”
NL looks innocently and confusedly at SL, “What?”
SL sneers, “Do I have to make myself clear? Nangong Liuyun! Did you not deliberately allow the evil spirits into your body?”
NL, with the upmost innocence, shakes his head, “Didn’t.”
SL scoffs at this.
NL pulls on SL’s hand, his beautiful eyes stare into hers, “Then what do you say, why would I deliberately allow evil spirits into my body?”
SL chokes. This NL! He did it on purpose and now he’s digging another pit for her to jump into!

* LoL, nope, not in the sentence she wrote. They’re different by TWO characters, but homophonetically off by only one.

6014 SL naturally understands the trap he prepared. With a question like that, he’s expecting her to answer, ‘because you’re deliberately using the Bitter Meat Stratagem to make me forgive you!’ Then he would ask, ‘why would I use the Bitter Meat Stratagem?’ How’s she supposed to respond then? Because you like me? This is all SL guesses on how the conversation would go. Faced with a demon of such intelligence, she must be careful, and then more careful.
So SL can only face him, coldly glaring, “Just what is it that you want?”
NL is half raised himself on the bed, he earnestly looks at her and asks, “What I want, do you really not know?”
“Don’t know!” SL in a huff.
“I want you.” NL says while his beautiful eyes earnestly look at her. This look is filled with an unprecedented soberness and solemnity.
SL is stunned by his confession, and is momentarily unsure how to respond. Then, “You want me, what does that have to do with me?”
Suddenly, NL eyes smile.
SL looks at him as if he were an idiot. He’s smiling? What does he mean by this?
NL pulls SL onto the edge of the bed, laughing, “Not long ago, this white fox told me she liked me.”
SL stares blankly at the white fox pelt in NL’s hand. If she recalls correctly, this is the white fox that so arrogantly bluffed and blustered about who was elder sister. Unexpectedly she’s already become a fox pelt. NL’s hands really are nimble. However, SL is still most concerned about NL’s answer. To be frank, NL is just too tempting to peach blossoms. Before he was tempting, after he will be tempting. It really is an endless hassle.
Without waiting for SL’s reply, NL says, “But I told it, ‘what does you liking me have to do with me?’ Heh heh. Isn’t it very similar to your response?”
SL gives NL a grumpy look, this way of refusing, leaving no room for doubt, really fits NL’s character. By the time SL recovers, she finds that her neck has a new addition with the white fox pelt wrapped around her like a scarf. For a time, SL is filled with many emotions.
When NL sees the blankly staring SL, he sighs, his big warm hand strokes her head and says while displeased, “This girl, everything about you is good, except for one little bit that’s not good.”
“What?” SL is both curious and wronged.
He actually dares to say she’s not good? Is this the tone you use when begging for forgiveness?
NL looks at SL earnestly and uses a voice greatly filled with a sort of beseeching quality to it, “Luo Luo, cannot you not give me a little bit more trust?”
SL’s hands tighten.
NL earnestly, “If you have even a little trust in me, then you will know that I have given my heart to you. How could I be tempted by some other woman?”
“This is not only an insult to me, this is also an insult to your own eyes. So from your point of view, a man who gives his heart away is the kind to be fickle?” NL locks eyes tightly with SL.
“Originally, I didn’t want to come today.” NL watches SL. When he feels her hand trying to throw his off, NL’s grip tightens, “Because I wanted to let you think about our relationship yourself. This is something you must voluntarily mature by yourself.”

6015 Although SL feels NL’s words make sense, some of it she can’t accept. Other people’s boyfriends coax their girlfriends. Don’t they all say ‘it’s all my fault. I was wrong. I apologize. I will change…’ In other words, only sweet words. Why is NL speaking so reasonably using facts?
NL looks carefully at SL, “My reason tells me to give you time to think about it yourself, to let you become more mature. This is reasonable, but emotions are not reasonable.”
NL sighs, and then says very earnestly, “Needing only one thought of you being taken away by someone else, one thought of your pained and discomforted face, and I couldn’t help but come. Luo girl, I came.”
NL’s sudden confession is like a violent rainstorm that envelopes over SL and sweeps her head clean. NL sees the hesitation in SL’s eyes, sighs, then takes out a white jade bottle and hands it to her.
“Take it.”
“What?” SL’s head is like wood and can only unconsciously ask.
“Eight Wastelands Dark Blood Pill.” NL looks at SL, “Take once every ten days, it’s good for your body.”
Eight Wastelands Dark Blood Pill? SL is widely read. How could she not know what Eight Wastelands Dark Blood Pill is? However, this is not something you can encounter just because you want it. How did NL come by this? And such a large bottle too.
NL pats the white fox pelt around SL’s neck, “This is not a normal white fox. This is a white fox queen who achieved the Lesser God realm in a 100,000 mile large mountain range. Her body contains the Eight Wastelands Dark Blood.”
SL suddenly looks up, “You…you were hunting her…so…” so you become entangled with her?
NL shakes his head, then nods his head slightly. NL explains he was in the mountain range to complete his final task. Once done, he would’ve been free to accompany her for the next few decades when she goes to journey through the lower worlds.
So that’s how it is!
SL’s face turns burning red!
It was she who thought NL was so busy that he forgot to accompany her to the lower worlds.
It was she who thought NL was with some other girl.
It was she herself who thought she had lost NL.
In reality, to accompany her into the lower worlds for the next few decades, he was compressing decades of work into a few months. Military matters are so busy and so important. Heaven knows that compressing a few decades of work into a few months is terrifying. However, he never said a word, he uses his actions to show how much he cares about her.
As for her, not only did she not express any gratitude for the good he did, she didn’t trust him, she suspected him, she even…used Leng7 to anger him! SL really wants to hammer her own head! Why is she so stupid!
NL’s beautiful eyes have been deeply watching SL. When he sees the chagrin on SL’s face, only then does he sigh in relief. Right then, he was speaking in an upright and honest way, as if confident with victory in his grasp. But heaven knows how nervous he was! Even his palms were sweating!
Is this the legendary honored and elegant Longfeng Clan Heir? When facing his beloved girl, isn’t he just like a normal man who becomes nervous because he cares? He will become stiff and nervous because just one frown from her, one smile from her, will make him suffer from thinking for a long time.
SL lowers her head.

6016 NL rubs her head, “And so…”
Before he can finish, SL raises her head and seriously looks at him, “So because of this Eight Wastelands Dark Blood, you let her take advantage of you?”
NL hurriedly clarifies, “Incorrect!”
“What’s incorrect?” SL grumpily asks.
“She didn’t have the opportunity to take advantage. Your man’s purity has been preserved until now for you. Worry not.” NL’s eyes burn while he looks at SL earnestly.
SL’s heart madly complains. Retain your body’s purity? This young lady has long ago defiled your body’s purity ‘N’ number of times, alright?
Seeing SL’s disdainful look, NL gets anxious, “You don’t believe?”
SL unyieldingly nods her head, then lifts her head and throws out her chest, giving NL a look, “I really don’t believe it!~”
NL frowns, why doesn’t she believe me? Am I so untrustworthy?
Poor NL. How is he supposed to know his purity has not been pure for hundreds of years.
SL snorts twice, “Don’t you like this broken fox? You took this fur yourself. This young lady disdains it!”
SL reaches for the scarf around her neck, wanting to take it down and throw it at NL.
But NL glares at her, “Not allowed to take it off.”
SL gives him a startled look.
NL explains that the pelt has the Eight Wastelands Dark Blood mixed in. It’s good for helping her awaken her bloodline. “What, you don’t want to quickly awaken your bloodline?”
NL’s promotion speed is too fast. Every time SL sees him, she feels that his strength has risen a great deal. Although SL’s own promotion speed is very fast, even setting records at the Imperial College. Compared to NL, SL feels that she’s creeping along at a snail’s pace. SL is naturally not content with her current promotion speed. The fastest way for her to increase her strength is to stimulate the awakening of her bloodline. Her bloodline has only awakened by 10%. Her physical abilities are already so dazzling. If she could awaken in further, wouldn’t that be…
And so, SL presses down on the white fox scarf slightly.
NL sees SL’s move and nods his head, “Wear it. Don’t take it off. There’s also this bottle of Eight Wastelands Dark Blood Pills.”
SL hands reaches out to take it, but NL has already taken it back and puts it inside his robe.
SL goes blank, “Weren’t you giving that to me? Why did you take it back!”
NL complacently and immensely pleased with himself, “With your memory, would you remember to eat one every ten days, without interruption, without delay, without ever forgetting?”
These three questions completely turn SL stupid. She really would probably interrupt, delay, and forget.
NL gives SL a smug look, “And so, I’ll be keeping it by my side. When the time arrives, naturally I will remind you to eat it.”
SL: “…”
So she must rely on him? He’s purposely using this method to keep her from chasing him off? This man, everything he does has always been twisted and roundabout, indirectly achieving his goal. If he directly spoke his thoughts would he die? Preserving his face at all costs!
SL gives him a displeased look, “So you’re going to stay here?”
NL’s face turns earnest as he nods, “You want to drive me away?”
After discovering something as good as the Eight Wastelands Dark Blood pills, SL gives up on blaming.
SL proudly laughs, “I have an appointment with Leng7 tomorrow. You’ll have to stay here alone. Don’t talk about 10 days, no one will drive you away even if you live here a hundred days, a thousand days”

6017 After speaking, SL then goes outside. In confrontations with NL, this would be SL’s first victory. She is particularly proud right now. Seeing the look of defeat on NL’s face, SL’s heart starts to wildly laugh. NL, even you have your days when your schemes are exhausted. Just as SL is taking a step to pass the threshold into the outside, she hears a tearing sound behind her. SL suddenly stops and turns back to look. By the time SL recovers, she finds she has already fallen into NL’s chest.
“Nangong Liuyun, you rogue! Let me go now!” SL beats his chest and struggles.
NL’s black eyes seriously watch her as she resists. His arms are like the hardest steel, they encircle her within his world.
“Nangong Liuyun, let me go!” SL furiously glares at NL.
He’s so hateful! She just won a rare victory after great difficulty. She was on her way to making such an elegant and natural exit. All of it is destroyed by one move of NL’s hands.
“You said you’ve made an appointment with Leng7?” NL faintly looks at SL.
SL nods, “That’s right, even if you try to stop it, it’s no use. For this appointment, I, Su Luo, have never gone back on an agreement!”
NL nods, “Do you mind if I disclose a bit of news to you ahead of time?”
“What?” SL has a very good feeling about this.
NL coldly smiles, “Your family’s Leng7’s Aunt is the current Empress. He was summoned into the Palace just now. Guess. Who are they talking about right now?”
“You?”
“No. It’s you.”
NL smiles brightly at SL, his eyes shine with a provoking light. NL explains that the person she injured is called Zhao Yufei, favorite grandson of the Empress Dowager. All the famous doctors of the Capital and the Apothecaries of the Palace have all tried and failed at healing him. It’s said that only SL can bring life back to dead bones. Only SL can heal Zhao Yufei.
SL stares blankly. NL’s already explained things so clearly, she doesn’t even need to think. The Empress is having Leng7 invite her to the Palace.
Earlier, Zhao Yufei wanted to do obscene things to her, so SL’s Sun Moon Blood Hoof Qilin trampled him into a miserable state. SL was too distracted at the time to care whether he lived or died. Thankfully, SL has developed a habit of using her Crystal Memory Fruit like a camera that can be turned on at any time. She uses it to see what happened. With how seriously he was injured, he’s lucky to have lasted this long. However, if SL doesn’t make a move, he’s likely not going to last long.
Suddenly, SL looks up, her eyes shining brilliantly, “Nangong Liuyun, do you think I should treat Zhao Yufei?”
NL’s eyes contain mirth, “Naturally you should go.”
This answer somewhat surprises SL. Isn’t NL super protective? Zhao Yufei treats her in this way, NL would actually let her go heal him?
NL sees SL’s looking lost and becomes displeased, “Save him first, then can’t you kill him later? This brain of yours, ah. I really sympathize for your IQ.”

6018 SL: “…is having an evildoer’s IQ that great?”
NL proudly nods, “It’s amazing, don’t you think so?”
SL: “…”
Suddenly, SL’s eyes flash as she glares at NL, “You!”
SL finally understands why NL wants her to save Zhao Yufei. Number 1, if Zhao Yufei dies by her hand, with the influence the Zhao family has, SL will end up a target of the Imperial family. Being an enemy of the Imperial family is equal to embarassing herself. Once the crisis is over, NL might not be able to protect her. That’s why she should save him first. After saving Zhao Yufei, he can die at any time. Wouldn’t this only take one word from NL?
Then there’s Number 2! Leng7 saved SL. SL owes him. How could NL stand to let SL owe Leng7? And so, she must pay him back and make things clear.
“Nangong Liuyun, you’re really exhausting all schemes!” SL grits her teeth.
With him, if you grow even a little bit lax, you’ll end up throwing yourself into a pit he dug and sell yourself away. Before others, SL feels her intelligence is superior, but in front of NL, SL always feels it’s not enough.
NL gives her a confused and innocent look, then sighs as he pulls SL into his arms, “Ah, I would exhaust all schemes only for you, girl.”
Just how many people want to devote themselves and work for NL? Exhaust all means? Exhaust all schemes? Don’t talk about devoting yourself, they all look the same, and her NL is too lazy to look. NL’s meaning, how could she not understand? But because she understands, she’s at a loss as to how to respond.
So she changes the subject.
She asks NL, “Do you know why others are unable to save Zhao Yufei?”
NL raises his eyebrows while looking at her.
SL faintly smiles, “Because he—”
SL doesn’t get to finish before she hears a fierce shout coming from outside the door. SL looks out the window and wonders when it got so bright. Outside the window, the goose feather like snow has already stopped falling. At some point in time, the snow on the ground was dispersed. The sky is clear, the air clean, but the clamor outside makes her brows wrinkle. SL listens carefully.
The voice of an arrogant middle aged man, “The Leng family is bringing someone to court and yet others dare to put up resistance? Truly arrogant!”
Madame Wind coldly smiles, “So the Leng family can ignore regulations? You want to take someone to court? Fine, show me the warrant!”
This middle aged man is the Leng family’s Foreign Affairs Minister. When he hears Madame Wind’s words, his eyes flash. Madame Wind dares to accept, then that means SL is really here? The Empress had issued an order from the Palace to have Leng7 bring SL to the Zhao Estate to heal Zhao Yufei. It’s only after hearing this order that the Leng family learns the one who injured Zhao Yufei is SL and that Leng7 is the one who saved SL. Because the Leng family now knows the reason, the Leng elders, and especially Leng7’s parents are struck a great blow and find it difficult to accept. Just because of one woman, just because he wanted to save her, Leng7 gave up the rights to his family inheritance? How can this be?! But the Empress has issued an order and so the Leng family will naturally do their best to comply.

6019 The first thing they did was look for Leng7, but just this first thing almost drove the Leng family mad. Where Leng7 went, no one knows. Even his communication jewel had been turned off. The family elders tried using their divine sense to search but found nothing. The only explanation is that he left the Spirit World and entered another realm. They couldn’t find Leng7 so they search for SL. The Leng family is comparable to the Longfeng, so when they mobilize their resources, the family’s foundations are shown.
In only a few hours, SL’s history are placed before the various Leng elders and the Leng Patriarch. It’s only been a few hundred years since SL has come to the Spirit World, entered the Imperial College jumped from 1st to 3rd grade, then jumped from 3rd to 5th grade. There are also listed, the things she did with NL and the Longfeng. It’s clear the strength of the Leng family is terrifying. When the Leng elders see the rate at which SL promotes, they all fall silent. The rate at which she promotes is simply too devilish! The initial class of students who entered College with SL are all handpicked geniuses. They are all still 1st graders. But SL…is now a 5th grader! And according to reliable news, she graduated first in 4th Grade, meaning SL has close to the strength needed for 1st place in 5th Grade. Not only that, her promotion speed is very fast, but at the same time, she’s an Imperial level Apothecary. Old Tang, Old Huan, even Nangong Liuxing were all cured by her!
“This…”
The elders of the Leng family don’t know what to say. Does this still count as a person? This is a God right?
“This information, is it true?” One of the white-browed elders asks.
A tall thin elder replies the information is reliable.
“Then this Su Luo looks like she’s really not a simple girl. Little Jing’s really does have vision.” The white-browed elder laughs.
The others look at him, weren’t they going to bring her back and torture her to death? What’s with the compliment?
The white-browed elder sweeps them with one look, asking if her talent is not worthy of boasting? They say it is, but is immaterial because she harmed Leng7 by making him give up his inheritance. Who knows how she’ll harm him in the future. This scourge should be killed now!
“Kill your head! Kill kill kill. Killing off such a girl, wouldn’t that be a waste? Just how many years would have to pass before seeing such an unparalleled genius? You say kill, so she’ll be killed?” Among the Leng Elders appears a chubby elder who’s the same as white-brow elder, impressed by SL’s history.
The Leng Clan has so many Elders, but right now, they’ve clearly been divided into two camps.

6020 The ones in opposition to SL ask what if she causes them harm again. She’s not even of their family. She’s associated with the Longfeng. Lady Nangong had already publicly declared SL would be her daughter in law.
White-brow says NL and SL are quarreling, that Little Jing gave up his position for her. How could she refuse him?
“But the other party is Nangong Liuyun…”
“What’s that supposed to mean? Our family’s Little Jing isn’t as good as Nangong Liuyun?”
“That’s not what I said!”
“But that’s what all of you mean!”
Some more back and forth before conceding that Leng7 cannot compare to NL, but so what. SL will be theirs. The opposition seems to light up at this idea. They wanted to kill her so they won’t have to deal with a strong opponent in the future but if she joins them, that would be different.
White-brow says that not only should they not kill her, they should protect her, or the Zhao Estate will kill her.
In the end, everything must be decided by the Leng Patriarch. All eyes turn to him. Since the beginning, he has not opened his eyes the whole time. Patriarch Leng’s eyes open and a light seems to flash in them. His words will decide SL’s life or death.
Patriarch Leng’s jaw moves slightly, “Su Luo, this kind of girl is rare, killing her would be a waste. Since Little Jing likes her, leave it to him.”
“But Dad, Little Jing, he…” Leng7’s Father looks at Patriarch Leng, then at the Clan’s Elders before stubbornly charging ahead, “Since Su Luo is able to stay, what about Little Jing’s position as heir…”
All the Elders are silent. To tell the truth, Little Jing really is the most outstanding member of the Leng’s younger generation. It could be even said that he is irreplaceable. When he gave up his position as heir, it really left them confused as to the future of the Leng Clan.
Patriarch Leng’s eyes coldly look at Leng7’s father, then sweeps over the Leng Elders, before finally saying, “This, is also not impossible.”
Everyone is surprised. Given his temperament, and that he was the one that revoked Little Jing’s position as heir, this should not be possible!
Sure enough, Patriarch Leng adds one more sentence, “As long as he can take Su Luo as his wife, the position of heir to the Leng Clan is his.”
Everyone is shocked. It should be known, from a purely objective data driven point of view, SL is a lower world orphan with no background. This kind of identity is not right and does not match their Little Jing. The Elders should oppose this but the current SL really is quite popular.

6021 SL is unaware she is so sought after. She’s been listening to Madame Wind and the Leng Elders talk. The Elders already know SL’s background and do not hesitate to go straight to Madame Wind. While Madame Wind’s status is lofty since the Treasure Pavilion’s status is not low, this is only when compared to an average Clan. With the deep foundations of the 2nd ranked Leng Clan, there is no comparison. And so, the Leng Elders are arrogant.
SL frowns when she hears Madame Wind coldly laugh, and then the sounds of fighting. SL tells NL to stay, she’s going out. The Leng Elder is strong, but Madame Wind is not weak, he’s only slightly better than her. With a glance, SL finds it’s not one Leng Elder, but five. She’s not sure if she should feel honored by this or not.
“Stop!” SL sees that two Leng Elders off to the side are eager to make a move so she calls out to Madame Wind.
Madame Wind and the Leng Elder back off. Madame Wind winks at SL to signal for her to get away. SL understands her meaning but identifies herself as SL, making Madame Wind nervous.
The five elders move slightly hearing this. This is their Little Jing’s future wife? Their searchlight eyes sweep over her. The five elders seriously examine her from all angles as if inspecting something. SL is such a calm person, but this type of look is not something she can accept. During the quiet, the five elders huddle in a circle and stare at her from all angles.
“Mn, appearance is passable.”
“Mn, figure is passable.”
“Mn, cultivation is passable.”
“Mn, skin is passable.”
“Mn, hands are passable.”
…..
All five elders nod separately.
SL: “???”
Then the five elders turn to SL with arrogant eyes and nod their heads, “Barely passable.”
SL unconsciously asks, “What does…this mean?”
The five elders talk amongst themselves and do not answer her question.
White-browed elder has the kindest attitude towards her, “Su girl, you will soon have great fortune, prepare yourself mentally.”
“…what do you mean?”
Another elder is not so polite, “A junior who hasn’t even entered through the door yet, are you qualified to ask questions? Enough, just follow us.”
SL is even more confused. She hasn’t entered through the gates of the Longfeng Clan so she’s not qualified to question Leng Elders? Alright. These elders are truly lofty and arrogant.
“I’m not going with you.” SL faintly smiles.
Before the five elders lose their tempers, SL says, “I know why you’ve come. You want me to go treat Zhao Yufei? In fact, Zhao Yufei’s injuries are not so serious. He hasn’t recovered yet because he’s been poisoned. ”
The five elders simultaneously look at SL together.

6022 They don’t really care about the Zhao Yufei business. What makes them surprised is that five elders of the Leng Clan have come to personally invite someone and she actually refuses? She actually refused. They find this unbelievable!
SL then hands over a medicinal pill to white-browed elder explaining it will cure the poison from Zhao Yufei. She then dismisses them, she won’t see them off. She then waves at them and before they can react, re-enters the house.
“You, this girl…” White-brow did not expect her to have such a personality. He simply didn’t have a reaction in time. However, what happens is the slam of a door closing as a response.
One of the elders cannot stand this and wants to drag her out.
White-brow smiles coldly, “Drag her out? Are you sure?”
You’re going to drag out the Young Master’s future wife? Is that what he meant?
White-brow looks down at the Imperial grade pills in his hand, his eyes shine, “We’ll talk when we return.”
White-brow has high prestige and the others speak no more when he leaves. They do not stay. But SL did leave a deep impression on them. A beautiful and stubborn little girl. White-brow feels that they have plenty of time. If this pill doesn’t work, it’s not too late to return and drag that girl back. What he doesn’t realize is that NL is in that room.
When SL returns to the room, she finds NL has his eyes closed resting. His expression is slightly ugly, and like that, he fixes his eyes on SL.
SL gives him a displeased glance, “What are you lookin at me like that for?”
NL just stares back seriously, not saying a single word.
“Too lazy to bother with you, humph.” SL turns and walks away.
While lying against the head of the bed, NL lazily opens his mouth, “Luo Luo, is your business all done?”
“What?” SL turns back in confusion.
NL asks when she’ll be ready to go to the lower worlds.
SL grumpily looks at him, “I can go at any time, but aren’t you very busy…”
SL stops when she reaches this part. Don’t these words means she’s personally and directly admitting that she wants him to go together with her to the lower world?
“Since Luo girl has especially invited me, what difficulty is there? Let’s go.” NL stands from the bed and begins to dress himself.
“Ah?” SL’s face becomes blank. What do you mean let’s go? Weren’t there two more months?
While SL is blank, NL has already finished dressing himself, then grabs SL’s hand and pulls her towards the door. As SL is being dragged towards the door, it’s only once she reaches the door that she realizes something is wrong.
“Nangong Liuyun, where are you taking me?” SL grabs him.
“Going to the lower worlds. Aren’t you in a hurry?” NL gives SL a confused look.
“But aren’t you still busy with lots of things to do? Isn’t the military busy? Are you able to say go, then go?” SL, one sentence after another.
NL nods, “Indeed there are many things to do. Matters at the military are not done yet. Under normal circumstances you can’t just say go, then go, but; can’t you see how good I am to you? You have to treat me well too, alright?”
