Chapter 6: Tacit Understanding

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Mu Nanfeng stared at Nangong Mo’s face and shook his head very seriously. He even sighed faintly. “What a pity, what a pity!”

Feng Xuan glanced quickly at his master and asked nervously,

“It’s hopeless? It can’t be, right? Miracle Physician Mu, are you mistaken?”

Mu Nanfeng shot a cold glare at him.

“You may question my integrity, but not my medical skills.”

Feng Xuan was speechless. The key is that he had no integrity either!

Nangong Mo narrowed his cold eyes. “Mu Nanfeng, if you want to die, just say it.”

Mu Nanfeng rubbed his nose and laughed dryly.

“Aiya! You actually saw through me! Damn, we have a tacit understanding. If you were a girl… Hey, don’t look at me like that. I’ll say it. She’s just too weak and unconscious. It’s nothing serious.”

“Is that all?”

Under Nangong Mo’s cold gaze, Mu Nanfeng became very sensible.

“That’s right, that’s right! Firstly, there are no signs of poisoning. Secondly, there are no old illnesses. It’s just that her qi and blood are weak and she has a bit of a cold. She just needs to eat, drink, and rest well!”

Feng Xuan was incredulous. Was Mu Nanfeng actually pretending earlier?

This Young Master Mu was really indecent! Fortunately, His Highness was wise and discerning!

“I’ll write a prescription later and get some medicine to nurse her back to health. I guarantee that she’ll be alive and kicking in less than three months. There won’t be any problems.”

Only then did Nangong Mo look away and look at the sleeping Yun Ran. His gaze was slightly restrained, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

The older man bent forward and poked his head forward nosily.

“Since you’re so concerned about her, don’t tell me you have taken a fancy to her?”

Nangong Mo slapped his handsome face away mercilessly.

Like a ghost, Mu Nanfeng changed his position and continued to lean his head forward.

“Although she’s indeed very good-looking, a ten-thousand-year-old iceberg like you has always been unromantic. What’s wrong? Have you suddenly unlocked your Conception Meridians?”

Nangong Mo glanced at him. His thin lips moved slightly as he spat out a word coldly.

“Get lost.”

A rare serious look appeared on Mu Nanfeng’s cynical face.

“It’s rare for you to care about a girl, but she’s Lin Qianqiu’s daughter.”

“That old fox looks sanctimonious on the surface, but he has long secretly hooked up with the Crown Prince.”

“Those killers tonight were the Crown Prince’s men again, right?”

Nangong Mo’s gaze narrowed slightly, and his expression was indifferent. “I’m just curious about her true motive for marrying into the Imperial Palace. That’s all.”

The shadow guard said that she had been drugged with Soft Tendon Powder, knocked unconscious, and thrown into the bridal sedan.

With her personality and ability, if she was unwilling, who could force her?

The older man looked at him for a moment, then shrugged and spoke solemnly.

“What else could it be? A honey trap to confuse you!”

“She was going to charm you and make you lose your mind. Then, she’ll wait for an opportunity to gather information, steal secrets, steal things, and secretly harm you.”

Nangong Mo glanced at him coldly. Mu Nanfeng immediately turned his head and pretended to look at the scenery.

“I heard she even took an arrow for you?”

“I can’t rule out the possibility that she was seduced by your beauty, but maybe that’s a beautiful woman’s ruse?”

“Let me ask you, which man can reject a beautiful woman who would risk her life to block an arrow for him!”

“If you really can’t reject her, then just let her be. With your good looks and black heart, it’s not impossible for you to counterattack. Who said that men can’t use …”

Before he could finish speaking, Mu Nanfeng instantly floated 30 feet away with an exaggerated expression of having survived a disaster.

“Hey, hey, don’t look at me like that. I’m scared.”

“You can get lost now.”

“Seriously? Throwing me away after making use of me? Heartless!”

“Then go to hell.”

Mu Nanfeng shook his head with his hand and sighed. “Although you’re heartless, I’m righteous. Come, let me see how the poison in your body is.”

It was noon the next day when she woke up.

The bright sunlight that came in through the window was warm. Halfway through her stretch, an ambiguous voice suddenly sounded in her mind.

Are you a pig? You slept so well…

Yun Ran froze. That voice… sounded exactly like the voice in her dream!

Hmph! Idiotic human!

Yun Ran was speechless.

That wasn’t a dream?? It was real!!

Last night, after she fainted, she saw a bird, an extremely beautiful bird with colorful feathers covered in a layer of golden light.

That bird called itself an ancient bird. It was extremely narcissistic.

It was said that when she was struck by lightning that day, a wisp of its bird soul happened to be sleeping in that thousand-year-old parasol tree. By chance, it was bound to her soul and landed in Lin Wanyue’s body.

That lousy bird even threatened her to do missions to accumulate merit and spiritual energy to help it cultivate. Otherwise, she wouldn’t survive if it “starved to death”. After all, their lives were tied together.

Last night, her body had uncontrollably pounced over to block the arrow for Nangong Mo because that lousy bird had woken up and smelled the source of the spiritual energy in the air—Nangong Mo! Then, she pounced on Nangong Mo like how a vicious dog would pounce on its food.

She had thought that this was just a strange and ridiculous dream, but she did not expect it to be true!

Yun Ran put her hand to her forehead and instantly felt hopeless.

“What a damned ill fate this is!”

Hmph! It’s your fortune to be able to serve me!

“Why don’t I pass on this fortune to you?”

Don’t.

Yun Ran rolled her eyes silently. “Can you understand people?”

But of course! I’m an immortal, not a bird… not an ordinary bird!

“Can anyone else hear you?”

Idiot! How can anyone hear my immortal voice?

Yun Ran held her forehead and heaved a sigh of relief. If others could hear her, they would treat her as a demon and burn her!

If you communicate with me using your voice and others hear your nonsense, they will also burn you into ashes!

Yun Ran was speechless.

Hmph, a friendly reminder: If you don’t want to become ashes, speak to me with your divine sense.

Yun Ran rolled her eyes, not wanting to talk.

Also, this immortal bird is hungry. Hurry up and locate merit points and spiritual energy.

****

Upon hearing the word spiritual energy, a string of words floated into Yun Ran’s mind: source of spiritual energy, Nangong Mo, vicious dog pouncing on food…

Desperately, she closed her eyes. “Oh my God, let there be a bolt of lightning. Strike me again!”

However, before the lightning arrived, a low and cold voice floated into her ears.

“Why? Do you realize you’ve done too much wrong and want to atone?”

Yun Ran’s face stiffened, and her eyebrows twitched. When had Nangong Mo arrived? He shouldn’t have heard anything, right?

However, before she could think further, she heard the broken bird cry out, “Ooh… spiritual energy… I’m here!”

Then, she flew over and hugged Nangong Mo’s thigh… Her speed was so fast that it was indescribable!

Yun Ran was speechless.

Nangong Mo’s body stiffened slightly. He looked down at Yun Ran and pursed his thin lips. His eyes were as deep as the sea.

At this moment, Yun Ran looked like she had nothing to live for. Her mind was filled with a sentence: Vicious dog pouncing on food…

She was pouncing on Nangong Mo…

She might as well be dead.
