Ghost Hand Heavenly Doctor 05 Strange Encounter! Ambiguous

  "Huh? It's actually an innate spiritual body?"

  The man in grey robes walked up to her with a surprised look, gazed at Mu Chenfeng who was covered in frost, and reached out to probe his consciousness. But as soon as his fingertips made contact with Mu Chenfeng's body, a chill like thousand-year-old ice pierced through his bones, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

  An ordinary face suddenly appeared astonished, he deeply looked at the ground's Mu Xunfeng for a moment, slightly furrowed his brow, hand moved, fingertips a faint air flow emerged, only then stretched out to explore his wrist.

  When the divine consciousness entered his body, the man's face became increasingly contemplative, and in the end, the emotions that had been filled with a hint of expectation and hope gradually returned to normal. A complex gaze swept across a tinge of disappointment: "Alas! It's a rare heavenly spirit body that has been encountered for thousands of years, yet it was damaged by the cold energy that penetrated the five organs and six viscera, seeping into the bone marrow. If not for the quality of this heavenly spirit body, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been able to withstand the erosion of this piercing cold energy. What a pity for such a good seed..."

  She let out a soft sigh, seeing that the aura on his body was becoming increasingly faint, his breathing growing heavier, and his face, frozen stiff, was deathly pale. Feeling a pang of sympathy, she said, "Since we have met by chance, I'll lend you a hand. If you can survive this ordeal and one day enter the realm of cultivation, it won't be in vain that I helped you today."

  As soon as the sound fell, a stream of spiritual energy poured into his body, quickly filling his entire body, flowing through the meridians, and the icy aura that had covered his body also gradually dissipated with the influx of the thick spiritual energy. As the cold air dispersed, his complexion slowly returned to normal, and his breathing also became stable.

  As he stood up and was about to leave, he turned his head back for a glance, seeing him quietly lying there. He paused for a moment, scanned the space ring on his hand, took out a spiritual treasure that had been thrown into the corner, erased the mark that belonged to him, leaving only a wisp of divine consciousness inside, then pulled over Mu Chenfeng's hand and forced out a drop of fresh blood to fall onto the spiritual treasure.

  As the Blood Oath fell, the spirit treasure that was originally lying in his hand suddenly slipped onto his neck and lay quietly on his chest. People who were not cultivators could not see the aura emitted by this spirit treasure, and even if they were close to his clothes, cultivators might not necessarily know that he had such a precious and unusual spirit treasure on him.

  "Even if I give you a gift to see you off!" With a flick of his robe, a pinch of his fingers, a huge treasured sword swooshed over and landed at his feet, carrying him flying into the air.

  At dawn, the sky was still hazy, and Mu Chenfeng was sleeping soundly in the alley, the layer of frost on his body had already disappeared last night. At this time, he slightly moved his fingers, slowly opened his eyes, and when he felt that the cold air in his body had disappeared, he was taken aback, and suddenly sat up with a start.

  "What's going on?" He furrowed his brow in confusion, last night he had a severe cold attack and couldn't even make it to the mansion before collapsing in this alley. If it were in the past, a cold attack would definitely take up a whole day and night, but this time...

  Suddenly, he felt a warm and comfortable feeling in his chest. He lifted his collar to take a look and was taken aback: "Where did this jade pendant come from?"

  It was an ancient jade pendant, with strange and beautiful patterns, the size of a palm, emitting a faint aura.

  Gas?

  He narrowed his eyes, and a sharp expression flashed across the depths of his eyes. He picked it up and looked at it seriously. There was indeed a breath of air lingering around, although he only saw a faint one, but it was truly existing.

  The jade pendant was tied with a red cord, which seemed to be an ordinary cord but had no joints, and he even seemed to see the faint flames of silk, which shocked him.

  "Where did this jade pendant come from? How did it end up on me?"

  "Master."

  Suddenly a voice entered his mind, he turned pale and shouted in a low voice: "Who!"

  "Master, I'm a doll." The soft and gentle voice was tinged with a hint of grievance, like that of a child who had been bullied.

  The jade pendant on his chest suddenly jumped, making Mu Chenfeng stunned. He lowered his head to take a look and found that the jade pendant, which was originally attached to his chest, was actually jumping at this moment. Seeing this incredible scene, he was shocked and stunned.

  How can a jade pendant move? A jade pendant is an inanimate object! An ornament without life, how can it possibly move?

  "The master is a bad person, others are not dead objects, they have lives too. How can the master bully the doll? The master is really bad."

  The soft and gentle voice once again clearly echoed in his mind, leaving Mu Chen Feng shocked and speechless, staring blankly at the jade pendant on his chest that was jumping up and down.

  "Is Jade speaking?"

  "Master, I've already told you that they call me WaWa, and WaWa is not YuPei, WaWa is a LingBao!" The soft and gentle voice was filled with pride and satisfaction when saying she's a LingBao, but unfortunately, Mu Chenfeng had no idea what a LingBao was.

  "Is your name WaWa?"

  "Master, I'm called WaWa. Master should call me WaWa from now on! I look very cute and lovely, with white and tender skin that's smooth like snow and radiant. Most importantly, WaWa is a spiritual treasure!"

  Listening to it, while smelling its own fragrance, it didn't forget to praise itself, and with a proud smile, told him that it was a Lingbao. The corner of Murong Feng's mouth twitched uncontrollably, although he still didn't know what a Lingbao was, but he knew that this thing called the WaWa jade pendant must be a very fragrant Lingbao.

  "Why do you call yourself a spiritual treasure? You are obviously just a jade pendant."

  "Dolls aren't jade pendants!"

  A soft and gentle voice came over, Mu Chenfeng had slowly accepted the fact that this jade pendant could talk, and only listened to that tender voice continuing to mutter.

  "Jade pendants are inanimate objects, but spiritual treasures are really formidable."

  "Huh? What's so fierce about it?" He raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in his eyes. This spiritual treasure seemed to be just a little kid?

  "In the Xianxia world, there are spiritual artifacts, which include Faqi, Fabao, Lingbao, Shengqi, and Xianpinlingqi. They are divided into attack and defense capabilities, each with three levels: upper, middle, and lower. Only spiritual artifacts above Lingbao can speak, and those above Lingbao are extremely rare and precious. That's why the doll said that you are very powerful, and in the future, when you cultivate to a certain level, you will be able to transform into different forms!"

  Listening to his words, Mu Chen's heart was shocked repeatedly. Could this be a spiritual artifact from the cultivation world? But how did such a precious high-grade spiritual treasure end up in his hands?

  "Hehe, Master, the doll was given to you by that person! That person is very powerful in the cultivation world, he saw you falling to the ground and almost dying, so he saved you and gave you the doll. Your body is so cool and refreshing, I love it!"

  Without saying a word, she surprisingly knew what he was thinking in his heart. He couldn't help but be shocked: "You actually know what I'm thinking?"

  "The master made a blood pact with the doll, their consciousness is connected, of course the doll knows! The master doesn't like it when the doll peeks at his thoughts later on, Master, you say it's okay, right?" A soft voice with a hint of flattery, it slightly moved and gently patted Xue Chenfeng's chest, tightly adhering to and absorbing the icy aura from his body.

  "Hmm." His lips curled slightly, and his eyes sparkled with a hint of brightness. The world of immortal cultivation? He hadn't expected to obtain a spiritual treasure in such an unexpected way. Although he didn't know who had given him the spiritual treasure, he believed that someone capable of producing something so precious was certainly no ordinary person.

  Why would the people of the Immortal Realm come to the Dragon Soaring Continent? He didn't think it was just a coincidence, his eyes flickered with thought as he pondered, seeing the sky brighten, he flew towards the direction of the Wang Fu.

  In June, the sky is sweltering, with the sun beating down like a fiery ball, making people sweat profusely and the ground feel scorching hot. It makes one feel lethargic, only wanting to snuggle up in a cool place and not even willing to take a step out of the door.

  "Miss, have some cooling soup! It's so hot today, be careful not to get heatstroke." Xia Xue walked over with a bowl of soup and placed it on the table in the courtyard. Meanwhile, Tang Xin was lounging lazily on a couch nearby, while Xia Yu fanned her gently.

  "Let Xiaoyu eat, it's too hot and I've lost my appetite." She waved her hand, half-closing her eyes to gaze at the big tree above that blocked out the scorching sun, with rays of light filtering through the leaves and sparkling with bright spots.

  "It's only June and it's already like this, how am I supposed to get through July, August, and September?" She muttered to herself, covering her face with the book in her hand: "I'm going to take a nap, don't disturb me."

  Xia Xue helplessly glanced at Xia Yu, walked over to take her fan and gently fanned Tang Xin, signaling her to come over and drink the soup.

  "Sister, it's so hot today, have you sent some over to Grandfather and Madam yet?" Xia Yu asked softly.

  "I just had someone send it over."

  "Where is the young master?"

  "The young master hasn't arrived yet!"

  "Miss, I'll take care of things here, you go send some cooling soup to the young master, okay? In this hot weather, he must be unbearable." Xia Yu said with a smile, winking at her.

  Xia Xue smiled and glared at her for a moment, but didn't refuse. She hesitated for a moment before standing up: "Then I'll go and come right back."

  "Go! Don't come back so soon, Miss is sleeping!" Watching her own sister walk out, she smiled with narrowed eyes, very pleased to see the two of them get together.

  "Hey, I didn't know Xiaoyu was still going to tie the red string!" Tang Xin put down her book and teased.

  "Hehe, miss, you're not unaware that my sister secretly likes the young master but doesn't dare say it, and the young master is clueless about my sister's feelings. If they don't get a push, who knows how long they'll drag this on? But really, it's so strange, the young master is chubby and all meaty, what does my sister like about him?" She said with a smile, not worrying that her words would bring displeasure to Tang Xin.

  Tang Xin tapped her head with a book: "Hehe, you little girl, dare to say that to Young Master, aren't you afraid I'll report you?"

  "Hehe, no way, miss!"

  She held the book under her chin, let out a soft sigh: "Oh! But what you said is also true, my fat brother doesn't seem to notice Xiao Xue's different attitude towards him! He's really silly, when dealing with big issues he's so clever, but when it comes to emotions he's slow-witted, it makes me anxious for him. Xiao Xue is beautiful and understanding, how could she like him? Hehe, won't it be true that she likes his chubby body?"

  "Who knows! I asked my sister and she just smiled without saying a word, that expression, it really looks like she's poisoned!"

  "Hmph!" She couldn't help but laugh: "You little scamp."

  For the obese Tang Zihao, the sweltering June weather was simply unbearable. No matter where he went, he would be drenched in sweat. Even if he didn't move, he still felt unbearably hot. He really couldn't take it anymore. After some thought, he had someone bring back ice from the ice cellar and placed a large wooden tub filled with water in his room, adding the ice to it. Then, he soaked himself in the icy water, feeling so comfortable that he hummed a little tune.

  When Xia Xue brought the cooling soup to his yard, there was not a single person in the entire yard. Instead, his door was closed, and pleasant, relaxed voices were humming a tune from inside, accompanied by the sound of water, which made her pause for a moment.

  He won't be taking a bath, will he? Just as I was thinking whether or not to go back first, I heard a voice coming from inside.

  "Who's there? Who is outside?"

  A beautiful face emerged with a hint of blush, she paused for a moment and said softly: "Young master, it's me, Xia Xue."

  "Oh? It's Xiaoxue! Is something wrong and my sister is looking for me?"

  In the room, Tang Zihao pinched his own belly fat, frowning and thinking to himself: It's strange, on such a hot day, after sweating so much all day, how can he still be so fat? It seems like he hasn't lost any weight at all, this belly is really like someone who is five or six months pregnant.

  "No, I cooked a cool soup to relieve the summer heat and brought a bowl over for Young Master. It's so hot outside, Young Master, would you like some? Shall I put it on the table in the courtyard for you?"

  "Hehe, Xiaoxue, you're so thoughtful! You know I'm parched right now. It's so hot today and I've been sweating buckets. I just got in the ice bath and it feels amazing! Xiaoxue, can you bring it over for me? The door is unlocked, just push it open. This water is so comfortable, I don't even want to get out yet!"

  Upon hearing this, Xia Xue was taken aback and stared blankly at the closed door: "Young Master, Young Master wants me to send it in?" But wasn't he taking a bath? How could she go in?

  "Ah! Everyone in the yard has been sent away, and I didn't even have a chance to get a drink of water. Luckily you arrived just in time. My door isn't locked, come on in quickly." In the room, Tang Zihao comfortably held a brush to wash his hands, and then patted them with ice-cold water, feeling the heat dissipate from his body, giving him an icy cool sensation that made him narrow his eyes contentedly.

  It's really comfortable to soak in icy water on a hot day!

  Outside the room, Xia Xue couldn't have imagined it would be like this. She hesitated for a long time, her face flushing red as she spoke: "Young master, or else, I'll get the servant to bring it in for you?"

  "No need to make a fuss about it, I just let them go because they were getting in the way here."

  Upon hearing this, Xia Xue could only stiffen her scalp and walk forward, stretching out to touch the door handle before pulling back, her hand holding the soup trembling slightly due to nervousness. After a long while, she slowly pushed open the door with her head lowered: "Young Master, I've entered."

  "Come on, come on, give it to me, I'm dying of thirst." As soon as she walked in, Tang Zihao's eyes lit up and he reached out to take it.

  Xia Xue slightly averted her gaze, not daring to look directly over, fearing she might see something she shouldn't.

  "Xiao Xue, you're standing so far away, how can I take it?" Seeing her standing far away, he couldn't even reach the bowl of soup. He looked up at her and saw that her face was flushed red: "Huh? Xiao Xue, did you get heatstroke? Why is your face so red? Are you okay? Otherwise, why don't you drink this cooling soup?"

  "No, no need to. I've already had some." She slightly lifted her head and looked at him who was squatting in the wooden bucket, saw that he wasn't wearing clothes, and hastily averted her eyes.

  "Oh! Then I'll drink it." He said, reaching out to take the bowl of soup she had brought over and finishing it in a few gulps.

  "Young master, I'll take my leave first." She said, taking the bowl and hastily heading out.

  "Hey, wait a minute! I've got something to ask you!" Seeing her stop in her tracks, he then said: "Xiaoxue, this water isn't cool anymore. Can you help me get some ice cubes from the table over there and put them into the bucket?"

  "This..."

  Seeing her stunned and motionless, he shouted again: "Xiaoxue?"

  "Oh! Here it comes." She gritted her teeth and turned around to walk over. She picked up the ice cubes on the table, averted her eyes, and put them into the bucket.

  "Wow! Xiao Xue, where did you go?" Tang Zihao was frozen by the ice block for a moment, and suddenly stood up from the water, making a splashing sound, which startled Xia Xue to retreat hastily.

  "What are you doing, young master!"

  "What was I just asking you for?!" Tang Zihao's face turned red, he had just wanted to pull his pants up a bit, but unexpectedly the ice cube slid down from his chest into his crotch, freezing his face alternately red and white.

  Although it's in icy water, the temperature of the water is just right, but the ice cubes are different, they directly touch his body and even touched him there, if he hadn't seen her quickly turn her head and retreat far away, he would have suspected that she did it on purpose.

  "I didn't do anything." She innocently looked at him, only to see that he was wearing pants while taking a bath. For a moment, she couldn't help but lower her head, still thinking that he was bathing naked...

  "Alright, alright, you go back first!" He waved his hand repeatedly, indicating for her to leave.

  Xia Xue glanced at him and then turned to leave. In the room, Tang Zihao's eyes flickered, and he raised an eyebrow. This little snow had been keeping her head down since earlier, not daring to look at me. Could she think I'm naked in the bath? How ridiculous! If I were really naked, wouldn't he have died from boasting?

  On the other hand, in Tang Xin's yard

  "Huh? Xiao Yu, you said your sister has been gone for so long without returning. Could it be that the two of them really hit it off? If they really did have a spark, my mother would be the happiest person. After all, her future daughter-in-law is someone she's watched grow up, how could she not be delighted?"

  Miss, don't mention my sister. Haven't you and the young master of the imperial family been developing rapidly over the past few months? However, it's already been more than a month since he left, and there hasn't been any news from him. Miss, have you thought about him?

  "Hmm, it's been over a month since he left, I wonder how he's doing lately?" Looking up at the lush leaves above, she seemed to be thinking of that Emperor Mo in the far-off Tianxia First Village.

  Since that night, she has been trying to get along with him. It's undeniable that his gentleness, thoughtfulness and doting have made her feel affectionate towards him, and she has gradually gotten used to his presence. The two of them being together is just for comfort and trust. He treats her well and she appreciates it. Over the years, he seems to be the only one who can leave a good impression on her. And he has been devoted to her, doting on her and loving her. So what reason does she have to refuse this love?

  Xia Xue walked into the courtyard and saw that Tang Xin hadn't slept yet, so she spoke up: "Miss, I just got back and saw that two guards from the number one estate brought over two baskets of fruit."

  "Oh? You've brought fruit all the way from afar? What kind of fruit is it?" Tang Xin came back to her senses and looked at her.

  "It's lychees, the old master asked them to send a basket over, they should be arriving soon."

  "It seems we have frozen lychees to eat."

  As expected, before long, two guards came in with a basket of lychees and placed them in front of Tang Xin. One of them bowed and said: "Miss Tang, this was sent by our young master. He said he will come to the imperial city as soon as he finishes his current tasks. He also instructed that although lychees are delicious, they should not be eaten excessively, and it's best to soak them in salt water to avoid getting a fever."

  "En, thank you on behalf of our young master." She smiled slightly, and a hint of warmth flashed in her eyes as she gazed at the basket of lychees.

  After the two guards left, Xia Yu smiled and asked: "Miss, shall I go soak it in salt water?"

  "Leave a few here, take the rest away!" She sat up and peeled one to eat. He had only mentioned once that he liked lychees, but he had them sent from afar. Although the Imperial City was a big city, lychees were rarely seen; although he himself did not come, his thoughtfulness had arrived.

  These past few months, she had been living a carefree life, with everything going smoothly. However, the intense battle from a few months ago still occasionally flashed in her mind. The person behind the scenes was actually someone from the immortal realm, so why hadn't there been any movement these past few months? She had always been worried that he would send more people, but as day after day passed, everything remained peaceful, just like nothing had ever happened.

  "It seems like you're doing well?"

  At the sound of this voice, Tang Xin's hand, which was peeling a lychee, paused, her lips twitching slightly as she glanced at the man who had climbed over the wall. She was speechless with rage. What did this guy want to do, coming to her courtyard every other day?

  "What's wrong? You're so excited that you can't even speak?" Murong Chen sat down at the table as if he had entered his own courtyard, glanced at the lychees in front of her, and raised an eyebrow with a hint of a smile: "Is it another gift from your lover?"

  "What are you doing here again? What have you set your sights on in my courtyard this time?" This guy, for some reason, has taken to treating this place like his own palace. Every time Emperor Xuan sends her something, he's there the next day to take it away, driving her crazy with rage! And yet she can't do anything about him.

  "What could be in your courtyard? It's all just some broken toys. I came to find you today because there is something I need your help with." His deep eyes stared at her, a hint of mysterious light flashing across the bottom of his eyes.

  "Want me to help?" Tang Xin raised an eyebrow, scanning him up and down: "You still have something that needs my help? I didn't mishear, did I?" Peeling a lychee with her mouth, she glanced at him carelessly: "If you have something to say, just say it; if you have gas, just let it out. Don't drag things out, finish speaking and leave quickly, don't cause me more trouble here." If Tang Xin's parents or her brother saw them, they would ask her what was going on again later.

  Her lips curved up slightly, seemingly accustomed to her occasional nonsensical remarks. He picked up the lychee in front of her and slowly peeled it: "I have a set of martial skills that I haven't figured out the key to, I know you're skilled with your hands and your moves are unpredictable, so I need your help."

  After finishing speaking, the lychee in his hand was also peeled. He handed over the peeled and crystal-clear lychee to her, and she took it very naturally and ate it.

  "You mean you want me to be your sparring partner." He said, handing the lychee in front of him into his hand, indicating for him to continue.

  Watching her stuff the lychee into her mouth, a hint of a smile flashed across her deep eyes: "Mm, you could say that."

  "On such a hot day, everyone is lazy, and you still want me to be your training partner?" He took the peeled lychee he had handed over and popped it into his mouth, waving his hand to indicate: "I'm not doing this job, you'd better find someone else."

  "It's beneficial."

  "What's good about it?" Her eyes lit up, staring at him in front of her.

  Looking at her sparkling eyes, she couldn't help but chuckle secretly: "In the back mountain of the Wang Mansion, there is a small summer resort with a clear and elegant pool. It's a groundwater spring, with icy cold water quality, not only has the effect of strengthening the body, but also makes the skin delicate and smooth."

  "Moreover, the servants and guards in your mansion are all at my beck and call. Not a single tea or pastry can be missing." She had long heard that his royal mansion's summer villa was very famous, even the imperial palace didn't have that spring water from underground, unexpectedly he himself would deliver it to her doorstep, she wouldn't go for nothing.

  "Good." He smiled faintly: "Let's go now."

  "Leave now? Where are we going to practice?" She was taken aback, thinking it would be in a few days!

  "The Bamboo Forest Behind the Wang's Mansion."

  "Then I'll call up Xiaoxue and the others." She said, standing up. But to her surprise, the man who was originally sitting across from her suddenly leaned in close to her and stared at her: "Just you, go!"

  "Stingy! What's the big deal about bringing a couple more people? I was thinking of letting them join in on the fun too! One person or three, it's all just a soak. What's the difference?" She chattered nonstop, then suddenly looked up to see his deep eyes thoughtfully staring at her. Irritated, she glared at him: "What are you looking at? Can't you leave already!"

  Mo Chen smiled and walked closer to her side, his gaze seemed somewhat ill-intentioned no matter how you looked at it.

  "What's going on?"

  "Do you want to go on foot?"

  "Otherwise? I'm not skilled in lightness kung fu and can't walk on the wind, so let's just go with you carrying me on your back?"

  He looked her up and down, nodded: "Indeed, apart from being good at fighting, you really don't have any other skills. Since that's the case, I'll help you out then! And spare you the long walk."

  "Really? Are you that kind?" She looked at him suspiciously, but before she knew it, her collar was grasped by him like an eagle swooping down on a chick, and she let out a loud shriek.

  "What are you doing, Mu Chenfeng! Is this how you help?! This bastard! He wouldn't think of taking her to the Wang Manor like this, would he?!"

  Xia Xue and Xia Yu came out after hearing the sound, looked up, and were stunned. They saw that their young mistress was lifted into the air by Mo Chenfeng, her body suspended in mid-air, her limbs not touching the ground, with nothing to hold onto. From below, she looked like she was facing downwards, her back upwards, her hands and feet waving in the air, her face full of anger.

  "Sister, shall we help Miss?" Xia Yu was stunned for a moment before speaking up.

  Xia Xue smiled: "Rui Wang won't let Miss fall down, don't worry."

  In mid-air, Mo Chen looked at her with a good mood, watching as she flailed her limbs in the air. Her eyes were full of laughter: "Or do you want to do it some other way? You don't think I'd carry you on my back, do you? It's more convenient to take you to the Wang Fu like this, but woman, you should lose some weight, you're so heavy."

  "Damn you, Mo Chenfeng! Let me down at once!" Damn it! She knew this guy was up to no good. It turned out he had been plotting against her all along. If she wasn't laughed to death by others, she would be driven to death by him as he carried her off to the Wang Manor.

  "Come on! How much longer do you want to drag your feet? Didn't you say we should hurry up? Just bear with it a bit, we'll be there soon." As he spoke, he was about to take off in the direction of the Wang Manor, but unexpectedly she suddenly struggled free, causing his hand grasping her collar to loosen, and she fell downwards.

  "Ah! Miss!" Below, Xia Xue and Xia Yu looked at her falling down, and couldn't help but exclaim.

  She saw that she was desperately trying to break free from his grasp, and Mu Chenfeng's heart skipped a beat. He hastily stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, while furiously shouting: "Do you want to die?! Don't you know that falling like that could kill or cripple you?! You're really making a joke of your own life!" His dark face was gloomy and frightening, and the angry shout in his voice had a tremble that even he himself didn't notice.

  However, Tang Xincui didn't care about his mood swings, she didn't care whether his face was dark or gloomy. She borrowed strength and turned around, climbing onto his back, her hands tightly wrapping around his neck, her legs tightly entwining his waist, triumphantly raising a provocative smile.

  "I see you're carrying me again this time. Didn't you say you wouldn't carry me? I just want to see what you can do about it if I make you carry me."

  A unique, subtle fragrance wafted from her body, her soft body clinging to his back like an octopus, causing him, who had never been so close to a woman before, to stiffen all over, and a hint of awkward redness flashed across his cold, stern face.

  "Come down!" The voice was cold and stiff, with a hint of unnaturalness.

  "Hurry up, we can't be late!"

  "Come down!"

  "What's wrong with you? Are you a man or what?"

  Upon hearing this, the flush of embarrassment on his face faded away, replaced by a dark and furious scowl. In an icy tone, he said, "Not a man? You want to try?" This woman was truly outrageous! She had the audacity to cling to him like that and even dared to say he wasn't a man? Who gave her the nerve?

  "Never mind, whether you're a man or not is none of my business, hurry up! What time is it already and you're still dawdling here? This heat is so intense I'm about to dry out." She instinctively used him as a parasol to block the sun on her head, with both hands tightly wrapped around his neck.

  However, as she drew closer and smelled the unique masculine scent on him, she couldn't help but feel a little dazed. When did she get used to being so naturally intimate with this guy? She had never liked getting too close to others, not even Emperor Mo, whom she had only ever leaned against in his arms. But now... uh, fine! She admitted it, she was currently clinging to him like an octopus, completely ungraceful and unladylike. But why did he make her act so naturally?

  Because her body was pressed against his, she could feel the cool air emanating from him, which was extremely comfortable in this sweltering weather. This made her involuntarily narrow her eyes, forgetting about his appearance and ladylike demeanor, as long as no one else saw her, all that mattered was that she felt comfortable right now.

  "You're holding on too tight."

  "I'm holding on tight, I'm afraid of falling down!" Who knew this ruthless guy would suddenly drop her, for the sake of her life, could she not hold on a bit tighter?

  "That's no need to choke me!"

  "Who made you so untrustworthy? Now I don't believe you!" She said, but the hand around his neck loosened: "Alright, alright, just hurry up! If you don't go, I won't go either, it's such a hassle."

  "You really won't get down? Are you going to just hang on me like this?"

  "Are you going to carry me away like an eagle catching a chick? Do you think I'm a fool?"

  Upon hearing this, his mouth twitched involuntarily, and he could only let her hang on him as he took a deep breath and sped towards the Wang Manor.

  Watching the two of them leave, Xia Xue and Xia Yu didn't come back to their senses for a long time. Only then did they hear Xia Yu ask in confusion: "Sister, why do I feel that Miss is more real when she's with Rui Wang?"

  "Yes, when she's with the young master, Miss is more reserved and her words and actions are not as casual as they were just now." Xia Xue smiled lightly: "You've also noticed it, but Miss herself doesn't realize it."

  "I know, haha, this is what they call 'those who are in power are confused'."

  "It's alright, miss. You know what you're doing. We don't need to say more." She looked towards the horizon, where the two figures had already disappeared, but the way they were together just now really suited each other.

  On the other hand, when Mù Zhēn Fēng took Táng Xīn to the summer villa in the back mountain of the Wang Fu, looking at the scenery there, Táng Xīn couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow! Mù Zhēn Fēng, you really know how to enjoy yourself!"

  This large area of bamboo forest blocked out the sun, with only a few rays of light shining down at an angle, but it wouldn't be too hot. The gentle breeze in the forest blew, and the rustling sound of the bamboo leaves echoed through the air. On top of that, the faint scent of fresh bamboo filled the air, calming one's heart. And within this bamboo forest, there was a small pavilion with a stone table inside, displaying fashionable fruits, wine, and pastries, which caught her eye and made it light up.

  "This bamboo forest is the territory of the Wang Mansion, outsiders can't enter. The summer resort is just a little ahead, after you accompany me to practice and get tired, we can go there to take a bath before returning." He walked slowly, looking at her picking up the pastries from the pavilion and eating them, her absolutely beautiful face lifted with a playful smile, her eyes shining with charming light, that appearance, was like a fairy who had mistakenly fallen into the mortal world, making his heart skip a beat.

  "I'll go take a look at your Tsinghua Pool first."

  A figure in blue was running through the bamboo forest, her clothes fluttering, her black hair flying, and he, walking behind her, caught glimpses of her profile as she occasionally turned back, a joyful smile on her face that infected him with her delight, and unwittingly, a soft warmth spread across his eyes.

  Tang Xin walked into his summer villa, looking at the design inside with surprise. The simple yet elegant design made her feel comfortable and spacious. What surprised her most was that behind the artificial hill in the backyard, there was a small pool about 5-6 meters long, emitting wisps of white smoke. She walked over, stretched out her hand to touch it, and found that the water was indeed icy cool as he had said. At the bottom of the pool, pebbles were paved, making the clear water even clearer. Looking at the pool water with a faint chill, and bubbles rising from the water, she couldn't help but turn around.

  "Mochengfeng, doesn't anyone usually come to this Qinghua Pool? How is the water so clear? Do you change the water?"

  He glanced at her: "Can't you see this is living water?"

  "Living water? Where is it?" She turned her head back to look again, and indeed saw a small trickle of water in one corner, which was flowing out through that opening, but where it flowed to, she didn't know.

  "Let's go!" He turned around and walked towards the bamboo forest, ignoring her behind him.

  In the bamboo forest, two people stood facing each other. Since they were just practicing, they didn't need to use any weapons, and in fact, neither of them used weapons very often. The only sounds that could be heard were the soft rustling of the bamboo leaves and the occasional chirping of birds or insects from within the forest.

  "How do you want to practice?" Tang Xin looked at him across from her, raising an eyebrow in inquiry.

  "You attack me with your hand, and I will fight you back without using any force."

  No need for violence? She gave him a glance: "Go all out?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "A bit more?" A strange glow flashed in her clear eyes, seemingly with a hint of ill intent.

  "Uh-huh."

  "You really don't need to use force?" The smile at the corner of his lips gradually expanded, until it spread from the corners of his mouth to his eyes.

  Looking at her strange smile, he still responded lightly: "Uh-huh."

  "Alright! Watch closely!"

  A clear cry rang out, and she moved her body in a strange way, rushing towards him with an eerie movement. Seeing her strange movements, his eyes lit up, and a hint of expectation flashed through his black pupils. He dodged to the side, using his agile body to quickly avoid her attack while blocking her powerful and fierce moves.

  Two people came and went, the wind brought by their fists and palms whizzing past. It was not related to martial arts, but because of the speed, ferocity, and accuracy of their movements, which brought about the wind. Tang Xin's movements were strange and elusive, her every move a fatal blow. Although Mu Chenfeng didn't have her agility and elusiveness, he was quick-witted and noticed her body movements and attacking techniques.

  The more they fought, the more a sense of admiration for each other arose in their hearts, and even a sense of mutual appreciation. Because the two of them went back and forth, neither gaining the upper hand, Tang Xin's ruthless and deadly finishing moves were all neutralized by Mu Chenfeng, while Mu Chenfeng's techniques were no less impressive than Tang Xin's, barely allowing her to defend herself.

  Suddenly, Tang Xin took a step back due to his unpredictable attack, her footwork stumbled and her body lost balance, falling backwards. Mu Chenfeng saw this and quickly stepped forward, instinctively stretching out his hand to wrap around her waist and steady her. However, as they stood there, their eyes met and they were drawn into each other's deep gazes, staring at each other in a daze. A strange and awkward atmosphere began to spread between them.

  Mo Shen's eyes flashed with a hint of sensuality, and his lips curled up into an alluring smile. Just as Tang Xin was staring at the sudden appearance of this charming smile, the hand that had been wrapped around her waist loosened, causing her to lose balance and fall backwards. She stumbled, hastily reaching out to grab him, but he swiftly retreated, standing at a distance with a calm demeanor, watching her tumble down.

  "Bathing in the wind!"
