Chapter 11: Advance Payment
Grunt grunt β
The spiritual spring water gushed and made a sound of water.
The steaming mist caused the entire spiritual spring to fall into a mist for a while.
And the bells are ringing!
Shen Xiyue couldn't pay attention to all this, her skin all over her body seemed to be burned by something, and her limbs were filled with bursts of warm currents, and something was scurrying around in her body.
She couldn't tell what it was, but she felt that something was moving in the dantian, gathering in for a while, and radiating out for a while, and the cycle was repeated, and several small weeks were moving regularly and rhythmically.
Actually, she just read a book on the basics of cultivation on the bookshelf, teaching how to induce qi into the body, teaching how to cultivate, but she didn't expect that after memorizing the method, it would really be effective for the first time.
However, this seems to be a bit unexpected to her, and her whole body feels like it is about to explode, what is going on?
Shen Xiyue couldn't stop, that power didn't stop at all, it was scurrying around in her body, she was so uncomfortable, she couldn't stand it anymore-
When Nalan Rongcheng came in, the scene he saw made him unforgettable in his life!
The mist of white flowers, the Shen Xiyue of white flowers, and the pure and thick aura.
This is a sign of death by exploding!
Oops!
Nalan Rongcheng didn't have time to think about anything else, and jumped in front of Shen Xiyue in a flash.
"Yue'er ......"
Shen Xiyue gritted her teeth, but after all, she exhaled in unbearable suppressed pain: "Hmm......"
Immediately after that, blood oozed from her lips, and Nalan Rongcheng didn't have time to think about it, and her hands instantly met Shen Xiyue's hands.
"Don't be afraid, follow that aura, Yue'er, don't panic......"
Shen Xiyue heard Nalan Rongcheng's voice and did as he said, slowly the uncomfortable feeling of about to explode faded little by little.
After a full hour, the spiritual spring water returned to calm and no longer boiled.
When Shen Xiyue opened her eyes, she found herself falling into Nalan Rongcheng's arms.
Nalan Rongcheng didn't dare to move, he kept swallowing his saliva, and his Adam's apple was moving.
A pair of phoenix eyes had ripples, and even his heart, which had been empty for a long time, was full of ripples.
"You...... I...... Why don't you turn around quickly? β
"Oooh oh ......"
Shen Xiyue found that he was completely naked, but he was neatly dressed, but his clothes were close to his skin, after all, he was soaked in spiritual spring water.
Nalan Rongcheng hurriedly turned around, and for the first time he was in a panic in the spiritual spring water, and he almost fell into the water several times.
After stumbling like this for a while before walking up, Nalan Rongcheng rushed out of the spiritual spring in one breath.
Shen Xiyue looked at his embarrassed stupid appearance, didn't know how to drop, and laughed out loud.
"It seems that he is really not a womanizer, and he can barely be counted as a cooperative person for the time being."
In the small attic, Tang Qingyu looked up and down around Shen Xiyue as if she was looking at some rare treasure.
Shen Xiyue ignored Tang Qingyu, she had been greedy for that altar of daughter for a long time, but Nalan Rongcheng was stingy.
"Little girl, you're amazing!"
"I know!" Shen Xiyue was not modest at all.
The corners of Tang Qingyu's mouth twitched, but she still looked at Shen Xiyue.
He really didn't dream of it, but after going in and soaking in the spiritual spring for a while, she successfully attracted qi into her body, not to mention that she had also improved six cultivation realms in a row.
The current Shen Xiyue is already a sixth-level cultivator.
"How did you do that? Do you know? Just this person, he was just a tenth-level cultivator at once......"
Nalan Rongcheng stuffed Tang Qingyu with a piece of snack, and the phoenix eyes glanced at him gently.
"Your old man is looking for you!"
"Huh? Looking for me again? That little girl, you wait for me, I have a lot to say to you. β
Tang Qingyu was a little reluctant, and specially advised: "Little girl, wait!" I'll come when I go. β
Shen Xiyue didn't want to deal with Tang Qingyu very much from beginning to end, so she said to the little girl who kept talking to him, and she wanted to take out the dragon pattern knife and stab him in the mouth several times.
After thinking about it, this person was a friend of Nalan Rongcheng, so he just held back.
"Congratulations, Miss Shen!"
Nalan Rongcheng smiled, Shen Xiyue could always give him unexpected surprises, like a layer of mystery that can never be solved.
Shen Xiyue smiled slightly: "Hmm! Let's do the math! β
Accounts?
Nalan Rongcheng immediately thought, could it be that he had seen her body?
"Miss Shen, I am your fiancΓ©, I will be responsible for ......"
"It's not about it, there's no need to mention it, I don't have to be responsible for you!"
Shen Xiyue still hasn't said half a sentence, you better save the province and be responsible for a shovel.
Nalan Rongcheng's ears were red, but when he heard Shen Xiyue's words, he was a little depressed.
However, it was only for a moment, and then he asked, "Then what do we have to settle?" β
"Last time you sucked my blood, I almost died......"
"It was an accident, and of course, if you want compensation, don't hesitate to bring it up."
Shen Xiyue shook her head: "The matter of the Life Continuation Pill, and the matter of blood sucking, we will offset each other!" β
"Tell me honestly, why did you marry me? Is it because my blood is of any use to you? β
Shen Xiyue thought of what Dong Nuan had told her, saying that Nalan Rongcheng was a cultivation genius three years ago, but after being hit by a cold poison, his cultivation was completely lost, and when he had an attack, he was extremely powerful and bloodthirsty...... No matter how much news she had, she forgot about it, because she was absent-minded and didn't listen to the rest of the story.
She was just such a guess, and Nalan Rongcheng bluntly admitted: "Yes! β
"The divine doctor said that your blood can cure my cold poison."
Shen Xiyue's big smart eyes instantly revealed a bright light.
"So what does this have to do with your proposal?"
ββ¦β¦β
Nalan Rongcheng couldn't answer this question, his parents had asked him this question several times, and even he had asked himself many times, but he could not find a reasonable answer.
Shen Xiyue saw that he was suddenly silent, and asked with some suspicion: "In addition to cold poison, do you have other purposes?" β
"......" Nalan Rongcheng was silent again.
Shen Xiyue no longer asked, and she couldn't continue to ask like this.
"Since it's detoxification, and you've helped me so much, then we'll use the method of trading."
"How much of my blood do you need to detoxify completely?"
Nalan Rongcheng replied simply this time: "At the beginning, you need a bowl every three days, and after half a year, you need a bowl every seven days, and as for the complete detoxification, it will take two years." β
Shen Xiyue nodded, then thought about it, and continued: "I can't promise you about getting married, but I can agree to the matter of detoxification!" β
"How many silver taels is a bowl of blood, or how many spirit stones, let's discuss it, after all, life-saving blood is different from ordinary ones."
Nalan Rongcheng smiled secretly, Yue'er really refused to eat at all, and specially reminded him that only her blood could help him detoxify, so as to increase the price.
Smart enough, he likes it.
"I'll pay some spirit stones in advance, as for how much a bowl is, think about it slowly, don't worry."
Nalan Rongcheng casually borrowed a storage bag from his waist, a small storage bag and the size of a purse, but it was simpler than the style of a purse.
"There are 100,000 spirit stones in this!"
Shen Xiyue swallowed her saliva, 100,000, really rich. And this person is very good, she hasn't even opened her mouth to ask for advance payment, he has taken the initiative so much, it's pretty good.
She learned from Nalan Rongcheng to tie the storage bag that looked like a purse to her waist before she smiled.
"Then this matter is settled, Nalan Gongzi."
"Why do you have to go to the cemetery? There are many dangers, and besides, isn't it good to be a young grandmother of the Nalan family? can be fed and clothed, and be prosperous and rich for a lifetime. β
Nalan Rongcheng didn't know why she had to break the marriage contract so persistently.
Did you say that you didn't want to get married, but did you come up with an excuse because you didn't want to marry yourself?
He seemed to have some mind about this.
"You're a good person, you deserve better! I'm not suitable for a big house, I yearn for the big world, the sea and the sky! β
Shen Xiyue's ambiguous answer obviously couldn't satisfy Nalan Rongcheng.
Nalan Rongcheng, who was unexpectedly issued a good person card, showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"Marrying into Nalan Mansion will not restrict your freedom......"
"Young Master Nalan, I'm going home, farewell!"
"Miss Shen......"
Shen Xiyue turned around, but stopped, but did not look back.
"Don't worry, Nalan Gongzi, I won't break my word! But the day after tomorrow is the day when the cemetery opens, and I can't provide you with blood for a few days, and when I come back from the cemetery, we will start detoxification. I hope you can understand, and also, don't go to my yard at every turn in the future, I think, no one likes to be watched, that's my private space, and I hope Nalan Gongzi can respect it. β
Shen Xiyue felt that she was already very patient, and hoped that Nalan Rongcheng would listen.
"Good! I'll send Miss Shen ......"
"No, I want to walk by myself, thank you, please stay!"
Shen Xiyue refused, and went to the small attic without looking back.
She didn't care what Nalan Rongcheng's expression was, she needed to go shopping now and make some preparations for the opening of the cemetery.
In the small attic, Nalan Rongcheng watched Shen Xiyue go away, until he could no longer see it, and the pair of phoenix eyes still did not move away.
"Rong Cheng, in fact, I don't understand, why do you have to be obsessed with marrying her? She herself was extremely resistant...... However, she is really impressive, and, very special! β
Tang Qingyu went back to the small attic and found that Nalan Rongcheng was sitting quietly, looking a little lost in his soul.
ββ¦β¦β
Nalan Rongcheng didn't speak directly.
Tang Qingyu didn't mind, he was used to it anyway.
"Do you know what the old man is looking for me?"
"......" Nalan Rongcheng still ignored it.
Tang Qingyu drank the wine to herself, and then said with a smile: "The old man told me that I also have a long-lost sister!" β
Nalan Rongcheng glanced at Tang Qingyu at this time.
"My mother left early, you know, I was separated for a while when I was a child."
"The old man said, my sister has a butterfly birthmark on her chest, tsk, tsk, how can I find this? It's always bad to ask one by one, do you have a butterfly birthmark on your chest? Or are the women of the right age pulling off their clothes to see? What a ......."
Nalan Rongcheng suddenly grabbed Tang Qingyu's hand: "What did you say?" β
"Huh? I said, I'm looking for a long-lost sister......"
"No, what birthmarks are you talking about?"
Tang Qingyu blinked: "Butterfly birthmark, ......"
"Yue'er has a butterfly birthmark on her chest!" As soon as Nalan Rongcheng's words came out, the shocked Tang Qingyu shouted: "Impossible, right? β
Tang Qingyu looked at Nalan Rongcheng with wide eyes in disbelief: "What you said is true?" β
"Hmm!"
"My sister is that murderous little girl? No, you beast, you dare to look at her chest, you ......"
Nalan Rongcheng slapped Tang Qingyu.
"At that time, the situation was critical, and she almost exploded to death."
"What's going on? Don't make it clear, I ...... I ......" Tang Qingyu had already believed in Nalan Rongcheng for a few points, and had already acquiesced in his heart that Shen Xiyue was his sister.
Nalan Rongcheng briefly told Tang Qingyu what happened in Lingquan, and Tang Qingyu slowly calmed down.
"Here, you draw the butterfly birthmark and see if it's the same." Tang Qingyu still opened his mouth cautiously.
Nalan Rongcheng took the pen and paper, recalled it a little, and began to paint-
At the same time, Shen Xiyue walked into the blacksmith shop!
"Boss, can you help me make this rainstorm pear flower needle?"
On the rice paper that Shen Xiyue spread out, there was a pattern of rainstorm pear flower needles drawn, and handed it to the owner of the blacksmith shop.
