Anthomaniac Princess - C161

Nalan Shuo finally could not hold it in and hysterically shouted, “Lunatic! You are a lunatic!”

He didn’t want to argue with Nalan Shuo. He only wanted an answer, and that was, who was Zhen Shuang?

Nalan Shuo sat on the ground and muttered to himself. He suddenly raised his head and smiled: “So, Seventh Brother, why did you come to question me?”

“About the heart.” She replied with determination.

“Chastity Heart… I do not know her, but I saw her once before on the journey to the Yellow Mountain. I heard later that she was a Holy Maiden, that’s all. ” Nalan Shuo spoke the truth.

Su Chen frowned slightly. Zhen Yuxin was the Holy Maiden. When he was at the Yellow Mountain, he had no impression of these things. Perhaps it was because he was still very young at that time.

Su Qing smiled and asked, “What should I do for you in exchange?”

“Let me leave the cold palace and give me my freedom. How about it?” Nalan Shuo’s eyes shined like a mouse’s eyes in the dark night.

After clearing his silence, he stood up, sighed, and said, “Deal.”

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave. Nalan Shuo, who was sitting on the ground, felt joy in his heart and asked, “When?”

“As soon as possible.”

Nalan Shuo didn’t ask any further and just sat down. His heart was filled with joy. He could finally leave this place and be free.

When he thought of today’s small harvest, he really wanted to share it with Qiao Liangjin. He looked at the roof and smiled, feeling like he was a boy who had just started a relationship.

Qiao Lianjin, who was sitting far away at the Flower Lover Pavilion, felt a sense of unease and sadness. He sat by the table, holding his chin and did not tease the leopard, nor did he chase after Yu Sheng to curse him.

Yu Sheng did not seem to be used to it. He only wore a apron and stood in front of Qiao Liangjin. He said with a smile, “Mistress, why aren’t you scolding me today?”

Qiao Liangjin’s heart suddenly hurt again. She waved her hand and said, “Stop messing around. Big sister’s heart isn’t feeling well. I don’t know why, but it’s always been waves of pain.”

Noticing that Dai Di was ironing her skirt, she asked, “The purple smoke drove her brother to school, but it didn’t say when he would be back.”

Dai Di nodded and grumbled, “That’s right. It’s fine to write a letter, but I don’t know what she thinks.”

Hearing Qiao Lianjin and Dai Li’s conversation, Yuesheng looked curiously at Qiao Liangjin. A golden glow suddenly appeared in her fox-like eyes before she disappeared the instant she lowered her head.

Qiao Liangjin sighed and said, “Ah, the day when you are a little girl is the day you are married. If Lan Lan is also married, then I will be alone.”

Pang Dai blushed as she spat at Qiao Liangjin, “Miss, you are speaking nonsense.”

Qiao Liangjin pointed at Bai and Kuan who were standing outside the door and laughed, “Look, there are already two people in the yard. Bai is lively and Kuan is calm, but he likes you a lot. Muse, what are you going to do about it?”

Putting aside the chores in her hands, Muse held her cheeks and said angrily, “Missy, do you want this servant to die of shame?”

Qiao Liangjin, who had been laughing and teasing her, felt as if she had been hit hard on the heart when she heard Pai Dai say the word “die.” She suddenly couldn’t laugh anymore and bit the corner of her lips as she forcibly said: “It’s really weird, why is my heart so uncomfortable today, I’ll go lie down.”

Mimi quickly tidied up her clothes, put out a few candles and smiled, “Miss, rest well. Tomorrow, I heard that General Shui’s daughter is coming. There are still some famous sects that will be here to see you.”

Qiao Liangjin cried out in grief and covered her face with the blanket. She shook her head and said, “I’m going to go see that top scholar tomorrow!”

Pai Di only pursed her lips and smiled. She hugged the leopard in one hand and left the room with Yusheng in the other.

Qiao Liangjin kept feeling a pressure on her heart. No matter how hard she breathed, it was not smooth. She kept tossing and turning, constantly adjusting the Qi in her body. After almost two hours, she finally stopped feeling depressed and fell asleep.

That night, Qiao Liangjin had a strange dream.

She dreamt that she was walking among the red flowers. She bent down to examine them and blurted out, “So it’s the Resurrection Lily.” The flowers seemed to understand her words, as they all swayed, as if they were nodding.

She looked at the other side of the river, and could not see anything clearly. She was so focused on looking at the other side of the river, that she forgot to look at her own foot, and was actually tripped on the ground. She cried out in surprise, only to see that there was a long wound on her palm.

Qiao Liangjin bandaged her wound and upon closer inspection, she realized that she had fallen onto a skeleton. His palm must have been pressed against the skeleton’s ribs, which had punctured his palm.

Qiao Liangjin quickly got up from the skeleton and clasped her hands. “No worries, no worries.”

He originally wanted to continue walking, but when he looked back at the skeleton, he sighed: “Fine, you and I are fated, we can’t let you die in the wilderness.”

Returning to the skeleton, he pulled out his dagger and dug out a rectangular hole, carefully burying the skeleton in it. Then, he put his hands together and said, “Regardless of what kind of person you were in your previous life, regardless of whether or not we meet again in the future, I hope you will have a good ending.”

With that, he turned and left the skeleton. He continued to walk along the river on the Resurrection Lily.

The boat gradually approached the shore. An old man with a kind face stood on the bow of the boat as he looked at Qiao Liangjin. He sized her up and said, “Lady, you cannot ride on this boat.”

Qiao Liangjin saw that there were a few figures in the cabin. She put his hands on her waist and said, “Why can’t I sit? I have silver too. ”

However, the old man stroked his beard and laughed. “Lady, even if you are made of gold and silver, you won’t be able to be this boat.”

Qiao Liangjin was about to argue with the old man when Zi Yan’s timid voice came from behind him, “Miss … Why are you here? ”

Qiao Liangjin was stunned. She turned around and looked at Zi Yan. Zi Yan was just like usual, wearing purple clothes. However, her face was a little pale and she was holding her younger brother’s hand.

Without even thinking, she rushed over and hugged Zi Yan tightly. She used up all of her strength as if she would never be able to see her again if she let go.

“Zi Yan, I miss you so much. I miss you so much. When will you be back?” Qiao Liangjin whispered into her ear, hugging her purple smoke.

Zi Yan, who was in her arms, was trembling slightly.

Qiao Liangjin let go of the purple smoke and grabbed her shoulders. She lowered his head to look at the little boy she was holding and smiled. “You have to go to school, understand?”

When she looked up again, she saw purple smoke’s tears rolling down her face. Qiao Liangjin couldn’t help but feel a pang in her heart as she said, “Why are you crying, don’t cry, it’s bad luck. We’re just sending our little brother to school. I’m waiting for you to come back. I still need to hook up with you, Uncle Lu Li. Although she is a bit stiff …”

“Miss, it’s about time to board the ship.” Qiao Liangjin heard the voice of the old man on the boat behind him.

She was stunned and looked around. There was no one there but herself and Zi Yan. She pointed at her nose and asked in surprise, “Elder, you’re saying that I can upload and take a look at the other side, right?”

The old man actually pointed at her and shook his head, “That girl behind you, it’s time to board the ship.”

Qiao Liangjin’s brain suddenly started working. The Resurrection Lily couldn’t see the other side of the river … She suddenly turned her head and looked at Zi Yan, carefully sizing her up. Suddenly, she smiled and gave up her spot. She patted Zi Yan’s shoulder and softly said, “I’ve been giving you trouble all this time. I want to repay you, but I don’t have the chance anymore.”

Zi Yan immediately burst into tears. She held Qiao Liangjin’s hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. After opening her mouth a few times, she was already sobbing.

Qiao Liangjin gently pushed away the purple smoke and waved her hand. She smiled and said: “Perhaps we will have a chance to meet again.”

Zi Yan walked forward a few steps and looked back at Qiao Liangjin, who was standing on the spot with a dazed expression. She suddenly turned around and kneeled on the ground. She kowtowed heavily and said, “Miss must avenge Zi Yan.” After saying that, she stood up and pulled her brother onto the boat without looking back.

Qiao Liangjin stood where she was, her two hands at her sides as she watched the boat gradually go further and further away. She slowly clenched her fists, and then she clenched them again, her nails digging into her palms. She did not feel any pain, she only watched the river until the boat disappeared in the mist.

Qiao Liangjin finally closed her eyes and two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks.

When she opened her eyes, a cold tongue was licking her cheeks. She gently pushed away the fluffy head and complained softly, “Lucky, you shouldn’t be in this room.”

The leopard ignored him and continued chewing on Qiao Liangjin’s finger. Qiao Liangjin sighed and sat up, placing the leopard on the ground. She then saw Yu Sheng sitting cross-legged on the beauty bed. She waved her hand lazily and said, “Yuesheng, come over.”

Yuesheng slowly opened her eyes as a golden light flashed in her eyes. She did not move and instead asked, “What’s wrong, Mistress?”

“The Resurrection Lily is a flower that blooms on the Road to River Styx, right?”

Upon hearing Qiao Liangjin’s question, Yu Sheng closed his eyes and replied indifferently, “I’ve never been there. I’m not sure.”

“Hmm? You’re lying. ” Qiao Liangjin’s voice sounded a little stubborn.

He had sensed her soul leaving her body in the middle of the night, so he had been guarding by her side all this time. He was afraid that an unfamiliar soul would enter her body and replace her, who was extremely relaxed and crazy.

However, this question was like a stone sinking into the ocean. She raised her eyes to look at Yu Cheng who was sitting on the beautiful bed, quietly meditating with her eyes closed. It was no different than when she was cultivating normally, but it gave her the feeling that he was avoiding her question.
