Volume 1: Phoenix Hidden in the Northern Domain Chapter 13 I'll be good to you

  Bingyuan Valley is located in the north of Mei Lin, between two horizontal mountains. The entrance looks like a cave, with snow and ice crystals all around. Once inside, it's as if entering a new world.

  The naturally formed ice sculpture tree, layered and stacked, although not as vibrant as a living tree, is perfectly suited to this environment, with an extremely delicate and dreamy beauty. In the center of the frozen pond, the water is calm and waveless, like a piece of high-quality crystal jade, and indeed there is a jade stone in the center of the pond. The jade platform, crystal clear and transparent in the ripples, surrounded by several white flowers, green stamens, beautiful and elegant, fragrant and overflowing, resembling morning glories, but not actually morning glories, which could never survive in such an environment, let alone these flowers being even more refined and delicate, with a noble and elegant air.

  This icy valley is not completely covered by the surrounding mountains, leaving a narrow gap, just enough to see the sun, and I suppose at night, you can also see the bright moon. When that time comes, I wonder how beautiful this exquisite valley will be under the moonlight.

  Cui Ling stood on the jade platform in the middle of the cold pond, holding Tang Nian Nian. At this time, his body's tension had returned to normal. He bent down and put Tang Nian Nian down on the jade platform, then stretched out his hand and beckoned. Among the nine white flowers floating in the cold pond, one with a pale green spherical flower bud fell off and flew into his hand.

  Cui Ling gave a flower fruit the size of a pearl to Tang Nian's mouth and said, "Eat."

  Since entering here, Tang Nian's eyes have been shining with starlight, not for the absolute beauty of this place, but for the more intense spiritual energy inside than outside. After seeing the white flower in the cold pool, she didn't move her eyes again, also not for its elegant and beautiful appearance, but for the dense medicinal aura it emits, as well as its identity.

  'Biqi Yuehua' is a spiritual medicine recorded in the 'Biqi Quan', which can be refined into a spiritual elixir, and is a treasure that even old monsters would be delighted to see.

  In the past, even old monsters would be delighted to see treasures, but now they are placed right in front of her, and she doesn't even mind feeding them to her mouth.

  Tang Nian's thoughts were a bit disordered for the first time, this person overturned her usual way of thinking. For the first time, she felt that this person was really being good to her.

  But why did he want to be good to her? Tang Nian looked at Si Ling Gu's eyes flashing with suspicion.

  Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes were half-covered by her drooping eyelids. She pursed her lips, and her voice was tinged with a hint of melancholy that lingered, "This is the fruit of the Moon Jade Flower. Eating it can increase one's vitality by a hundred years, without any harm to the body."

  If the world knew that Cui Ling's simple explanation was so easy, they would probably be heartbroken and scolded in their hearts. What is called harmless to the body? It's not just harmless, this Moon Jade Flower is a priceless treasure in the world. The entire Moon Jade Flower is a treasure, with its flower stamens and fruit being the most precious. Ordinary people who eat it can increase their vitality by one hundred years, warm their meridians, and turn a martial arts cripple into a beauty. It can also resist poison below the level of "di" and prevent illness from entering, increasing one's lifespan. For those who practice martial arts, eating it has even more extraordinary effects. Even if someone is on the brink of death, eating it can bring them back to life, making their skin white and their bones strong, truly a precious treasure.

  It's just that the Moon Flower is extremely rare, and people have only heard of its legend, with few having seen it in person. If word gets out that Snowy Swan Manor has nine of them, I'm afraid it will be a case of "coveting something that is beyond one's reach".

  Tang Nian's eyes flickered, and this time she could sense that he was distressed by his own suspicions. Why was it distress rather than self-punishment? There was a faint feeling of discomfort in her heart, but she chose to ignore it, nodding slightly and saying, "I know." Even if it was harmful to her, there was no use.

  Cui Ling saw her, and Tang Nian looked at her lightly pursed lips, saying the reason out loud, "I just don't understand why you're so good to me."

  Cilingu was stunned by the clear doubt in her eyes, and the doubt in those eyes was so direct, as if others being good to her was a strange thing.

  Her heart was pierced by a sharp needle, and Cilingu wrapped her in his arms, gently rubbing her hair with his chin. "Nian Nian."

  "Really?"

  Ciling's lone swan gently kissed her hair, looked down at her eyes and said seriously: "I've said it before, I'll be good to you, very good to you."

  Tang Nian was stunned by his serious gaze and replied: "Ah, I remember."

  "I'm telling the truth."

  Tang Nian's mouth opened slightly, but no sound came out.

  "I'm telling you, it's true!"

  He is stubborn and serious, like a child, persistently seeking proof of something, persistently getting a satisfying answer.

  "......Oh." Tang Nian's eyes drooped slightly.

  Cui Ling tightly wrapped her arms around her waist, as if seeing her slight hesitation, said: "I've told you, whatever you like, I'll give it to you."

  Tang Nian actually wanted to say that she liked freedom, but she also thought about it, what he said was all at a cost, and that was exactly the freedom she wanted most. So she paused for a moment, her slender fingers pointing at the nine floating flowers in the cold pond, looking at him and asking: "I like this flower, will you give it to me?"

  Si Ling's solitary wild goose spreads its eyebrows and smiles, the smile reaching straight to the bottom of her eyes, her laughter clear and bright like a spring breeze, "Nian Nian, these were yours all along."

  Tang Nian was puzzled. How did it become hers?

  "What's mine is yours."

  Tang Nian looked at his smiling face, this valley was originally beautiful like a fairyland, the bright pearl-like moonlight was clearly nurtured by the spiritual energy of the water, and its beauty was unparalleled. But all of this was overshadowed by the person in front of her, whose skin was truly handsome and beautiful, really unmatched in beauty.

  "Why are all yours mine, and you're still smiling so happily?" Tang Nian asked with a puzzled heart.

  "Si Ling Gu Hong smiled and said: 'Nian Nian, this is your first time taking the initiative with me, or asking me what I like.'"

  Tang Nian's eyes quietly watched his smile. This person originally could see everything clearly, but wasn't this the way it should be? Her life and freedom were all in his hands, so she naturally had to be extremely cautious and prioritize him.

  Si Ling's expression was gentle and soft as he said lightly, "Nian Nian, from now on if you like something just let me know and I'll get it for you. If the mountain villa doesn't have it, I'll find a way to bring it to you."

  "What if it's someone else's?"

  Si Ling Gu Hong smiled and said, "I'll take it over for you."

  He said it calmly and matter-of-factly, completely unaware of the overbearing tone in his words.

  "Oh." Tang Nian also calmly nodded, not feeling that this was a robbery. In her mind, the weak rely on the strong, and the strong enslave the weak. As for robbing others? That's even more normal, who made you unable to beat them, it's only natural to be robbed. As for you saying bullying the weak is not what a gentleman does? Don't be ridiculous, Tang Nian never had that kind of thinking, she was originally an evil sect person, influenced by the old monster for fifty years, it was already deeply ingrained.

  At this time, Si Ling Gu Hong once again fed the flower bud fruit to her lips, and Tang Nian didn't hesitate to open her mouth and swallow it. Ordinary people who ate the increase of one hundred years of yuan force would completely transform into their own medicinal force, and in terms of quantity, they were naturally completely incomparable with yuan force. However, from a qualitative perspective, medicinal force was something that yuan force couldn't catch up with even if it rode a horse.

  Cui Ling's lone goose felt her pulse, still unable to feel a hint of yuan force, her eyes jumped and she beckoned again, bringing another emerald green flower bud fruit to Tang Nian's mouth.

  Tang Nian swallowed her words again.

  This time, the lonely goose again probed, still without a hint of yuan power. The sacred flower fruit that was as elusive as a mirage in this cold pond was once again taken by him as if it were worthless, and fed to her lips.

  This time, Tang Nian finally believed that he really didn't care about Bi Zhu Yue Hua. He turned his head to the side and used his hand to take over the fruit but didn't eat it.

  "What's wrong?"

  Tang Nian said, "What a waste." This is a rare spiritual medicine, and there are not a few spiritual pills in the Biyuan Manual that require this Bi Zhu Yue Hua. To eat it like this is really a waste. The host's family can afford to, but she cannot.

  Ciling saw her reluctant expression and didn't force it, saying: "Then eat something else."

  "These..." Tang Nian's gaze was fixed on the remaining Bi Zhu Yue Hua.

  The lone swan's wave of the hand, left six quiet floating cold pool like moonlit fairy white flowers all lost central flower petals surrounded by emerald green beads. He spread out his hands, those six beads like the world's best emerald jade condensed just quietly lay in the palm of his hand, reflecting his pale white skin even more lustrous.

  Tang Nian looked at him, then at the pearl fruit in his palm, and silently took it over. Her eyes had already curved up unconsciously, and her mood relaxed again, revealing her greedy nature inch by inch. She pointed to the Cold Pool and asked, "Can this also be taken freely?"

  This thousand-year-old icy pool water is full of spiritual energy, and it's also a great thing for refining medicine. Moreover, soaking in it for many years can temper the body and bones, nourish the skin, and achieve longevity without aging.

  Si Ling Gu Hong shook her head, seeing that the pair of eyes that had been thirsting for water had dimmed slightly. She comforted her by saying: "When you have enough yuan energy to resist the cold air, you can cultivate here."

  Tang Nian's eyes sparkled, as if she had suddenly understood something. She spread out her hand, revealing the seven emerald-like fruit, and asked: "You gave me this to eat so that I can cultivate here?"

  Cui Ling nodded, gently stroking her hair and said: "This is useless, let's eat something else."

  Tang Nian's expression calmed down, and he said, "I'm not afraid of this cold air. Can I take away the water after cultivating here?"
