Chapter 265: Chapter 265
Yun Ran was staring at the ceiling, contemplating: Should I just give him a shot and knock him out?
Then she heard Nangong Mo let out a muffled groan, and Yun Ran immediately lowered her head to look.
She saw him pressing his thin lips together, a hint of restrained pain between his slightly furrowed brows, and a trace of crimson blood at the corner of his mouth.
Yun Ran was startled, her face changing slightly, "Nangong Mo, what’s wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Feeling a bit panicked, Yun Ran hurriedly reached out to feel his pulse, and her expression immediately turned cold.
"Nangong Mo, did you just use your Inner Strength?"
Nangong Mo looked at her innocently, blinking lightly, "I just wanted to try it..."
Yun Ran glared at him fiercely, her fingers moving swiftly and deftly to press a few acupoints on his body.
[This bastard! Do you know that True Qi running backwards can be deadly? He actually... he! It’s infuriating!!!]
Although Yun Ran didn’t see his subtle actions firsthand, she had a good guess based on his pulse condition.
Nangong Mo, looking at the girl’s tense little face, felt somewhat guilty, "Lin Wanyue, are you mad?"
"... Lin Wanyue, don’t worry, I’m fine."
Hearing this only made Yun Ran angrier, especially seeing his nonchalant demeanor!
"Nangong Mo, you practice martial arts; you should know the consequences of True Qi reversing."
Nangong Mo blinked somewhat guiltily, "I know what I’m doing, and see, I’m fine, right? Please stop being angry with me, alright?"
[Know what you’re doing?! If you knew what you were doing, you wouldn’t have done this!]
[Bastard! To avoid admitting that he is Yun Mo, he’s truly ruthless!]
The more Yun Ran thought about it, the angrier she got. She didn’t want to pay him any mind, going straight to the foot of the bed to remove the needles from his legs.
It wasn’t that she was removing them out of spite; it was just that it was time.
Even after Yun Ran pulled out the last needle, she didn’t say a word to Nangong Mo, or rather, didn’t even cast a glance his way.
"Lin Wanyue, I was wrong..."
Yun Ran sterilized the needle over the candle flame, still ignoring him.
It’s over... the joke went too far!
Earlier, he was indeed a bit worried that Yun Ran might, in a fit of rage, really leave him crippled...
A seven-foot man, standing tall and proud, can break his head and bleed, but can’t...
If he had no beloved girl, then sure, crippled he would be crippled!
But he does have one!
He hasn’t even had the wedding night yet, nor seen his beautiful and adorable little daughter; how could he...
So he thought about coughing some blood to scare her, to make her worry, to make her feel distressed, and unwilling to harm him again...
"Lin Wanyue, I truly realize my mistake..."
Yun Ran snorted, not even sparing him a corner of her eyes.
Nangong Mo, with innocent eyes, looked at her with a hint of grievance, "Lin Wanyue, what will it take for you to forgive me?"
Yun Ran finally lifted her head to look at him, and Nangong Mo immediately sat obediently, staring at her intently, like a beautiful dog awaiting reprimand.
Yun Ran pointed to the soft sword beside her, her tone quiet and cold, "Forgiving you is fine, how about castrate yourself with a swing of the sword?"
After a while, he found his voice, "Can we change it to something else? How about I stab myself once?"
Yun Ran coldly smiled, mercilessly tossing out four words:
"No room for negotiation."
The man pondered for a moment, then came up with a solution.
"Lin Wanyue, how about I owe you for now? Execute it on my deathbed, and as interest, you can casually pierce me with a sword now?"
After a moment of stunned confusion, Yun Ran held her forehead, speechlessly gazing at the sky.
[Can you owe something ?!]
[And interest?! Does he think he’s doing business?!]
Yun Ran took a deep breath, resisting the urge to kick, "Nangong Mo, with your exceptional talent, why not rise with the wind, ascend to the blue sky, soar ninety thousand miles high?"
"Staying in this little mortal world really belittles your talent!"
The man looked serious, "I won’t go; besides being by your side, I won’t go anywhere else." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩
Yun Ran directly tossed him a pill.
Nangong Mo swallowed it without thinking.
"Aren’t you afraid of being poisoned to death!"
"Would you really bear to do that?"
"Alright! I’ll get lost!"
That night, Nangong Mo was particularly well-behaved; after cleansing himself, he obediently rolled back to his bed, not disturbing Yun Ran for once.
Yun Ran was also quite content to be idle, leafing through a book, though her thoughts floated far off into the sky.
The more he refused to admit it, the more she wanted to find evidence to make him admit it.
She had to find a way to expose him, then settle new and old scores together with him! See how she would handle him!
Yun Ran was drying flower petals and herbs in the courtyard, while Nangong Mo sat by the window in the room, reading a book.
He held a book in one hand, flipping through it carelessly, occasionally lifting his gaze to glance at Yun Ran.
Yun Ran turned around and glared at him, "What are you looking at? One poisonous herb could finish you off!"
"Lin Wanyue, aren’t you going out today?"
"If someone invites me, of course, I will go out~!"
"Hmph~! Can’t it be a handsome man?!"
The man squinted slightly, looking at the girl’s radiant and unparalleled smile under the sun, yet thinking:
Yan Zichu? Shen Mubai? Xiao Mohan? Her senior brothers? Who else does he not know of?
He had to have someone investigate how many men appeared around her, ensure to find all potential rivals and eliminate them!
While Nangong Mo was deeply contemplative, Ying Yue came in with a letter.
"Princess, your letter, delivered by a little boy selling flowers."
Yun Ran took the letter, opened it, and exclaimed, "Ah! How could it be him?"
Nangong Mo immediately looked up, but being too far, even if he had the eyes of a hawk, he couldn’t see the writing on it.
As Yun Ran read the letter, she muttered to herself, her expression uncontrollably excited.
"Ah! What to do, what to do? Should I go? Maybe I should go? Anyway, I’ll be idle if I stay, might as well see what he wants?"
Nangong Mo silently appeared behind her, reaching out to grab the letter.
But as if Yun Ran anticipated this, she tucked the letter into her bosom.
And gave him a stern look, "Nangong Mo, what are you up to, sticking your claws out so far?"
Nangong Mo looked at his empty hand, calmly withdrawing it as if nothing happened.
"I just saw a bee land on you and wanted to help shoo it away."
Yun Ran, hearing ’bee,’ reflexively jumped a step back, glancing around, only to realize she’d been fooled.
"Nangong Mo, you shameless rascal!"
The man feigned calmness, casually asking, "Lin Wanyue, who wrote you the letter?"
Yun Ran blinked, smiling sweetly at him, "You want to know?"
"I’m not telling you."
"Ying Yue, hurry, come help me, I need to go out to meet a friend later."
Friend? What friend? How long have you known each other? Male or female? How old?
Yun Ran deliberately selected a beautiful outfit, took out her jewelry box, lipstick, and powder, and adorned herself meticulously.
She even had Ying Yue do her hair into a lovely hairstyle.
Nangong Mo watched everything, although the maiden in the mirror was so dazzlingly beautiful that one could barely look away, his mood was very complicated, and somewhat heavy.
The girl’s reaction to the letter was extremely unusual!
She appeared too excited after reading the letter!
