Don't worry, landlord

  Tang Nian's past two days were indeed luxurious, as she encountered even the world's most toxic poison, Tianmo Du. After Zhu Miaoquan added her favorite medicinal ingredients to her medicinal diet, she no longer had to pay for them and could get whatever she wanted. Under such luxurious care and with Qingqing's assistance, she successfully built her foundation and established the root of the Heavenly Saint Medicinal Body.

  What's more, she just ate two of Bìzhū Yuèhuá's fruits.

  According to the martial power of this world, her current internal energy completely surpasses that of a hundred-year-old or even several hundred-year-old master. However, she has only been in this world for four days, learning the Bi Quan Jue (Emerald Spring Fist) and has never learned any attacking techniques. She is skilled at concocting medicine and using poison, but has a surplus of internal energy that she doesn't know how to use.

  However, this does not mean that she is a useless waste of space. If they really fought, even if she had no technique and just swung her fists wildly, using brute strength as cannonballs could still crush someone, but that person would absolutely not be someone like Si Ling Gu Yun.

  Tang Nian looked clearly, her current ability was still not enough in front of Si Ling Gu Yun, she wouldn't pose a threat to him, and revealing herself in front of him wouldn't be a big problem. For the sake of the cold spring water, those nine jade-like moonlit flowers, and the crystal ice trees...she couldn't deny that she still liked the scenery here very much.

  So Tang Nian stood in front of Si Ling Gu and gently pushed out a palm towards the cold pool, creating a water sword. She lied: "I have yuan power, it can't be detected."

  Tang Nian thought that Si Ling Gu would scold her for deceiving him, but instead he looked surprised and delighted, hugging himself as he laughed and agreed: "As long as you won't get hurt, do whatever you want."

  Tang Nian's heart skipped a beat, and for an instant, that inexplicable emotion rose again, but was immediately dispersed by the joy of everything she had gained today.

  Since she had the treatment of freely entering and exiting the Ice Abyss Valley, Tang Nianian stayed inside for a whole day. It wasn't that staying with Si Ling Gu Yun to cultivate was bad, but rather being by his side made her cultivation even smoother. However, compared to that, she still preferred being alone, let alone the fact that the Ice Abyss Valley was full of treasures, which sparked her enthusiasm for alchemy.

  Just on this day, Ciling Guhong was not used to it. The next day, he brought her out from the Ice Abyss Valley and gently comforted her, saying that she should not be impatient, or else she would end up hurting herself. Tang Nianian had her own measure, but since he was the elder, whatever he said went, and she wouldn't refute him, nodding obediently instead.

  She alone couldn't see her own appearance, those downcast and dim eyes, that slightly raised little nose, those lightly pursed lips, a snow sculpture-like person, with such a pitiful, lost and unspoken expression, anyone who saw it couldn't bear to part with her, let alone Shi Ling Gu Yun.

  This time, however, Ciling Guhong relaxed his tone and changed to a more gentle approach. During her cultivation, he accompanied her by her side, making sure she ate three meals on time and didn't neglect sleep or food.

  Tang Nian looked at him with a tone that was more like negotiation than command, and for the first time, she discussed something with him. After all, this matter concerned her own little bit of freedom. "At other times, I'll follow you together, but just want to be alone for an hour at noon." In fact, being close to Si Ling Gu Yu's cultivation was faster, so she wanted this hour to learn about alchemy. Alchemy was the most taboo thing to distract oneself from.

  For Tang Nian's request, as long as it wouldn't hurt her, Si Ling Gu would never refuse, so he agreed after hearing her words. He just tightly hugged her, his chin resting on her shoulder, gently rubbing his closed eyes, covering the emotions in them.

  He felt lost. He wanted to hold in his arms and gaze at the person who was not as eager as he was.

  He panicked. This person prefers a person's freedom, he felt it.

  "Nian Nian, Nian Nian." Cilings solitary wild goose continuously whispered her name softly in her ear.

  Zhu Miaoqi couldn't help but smile at first, but later on, she couldn't help but furrow her brow in worry. Si Ling Gu also noticed it, and she noticed that he did too, but as for Tang Nianian, she just couldn't figure him out.

  Tang Nian's behavior made her feel confused, sometimes she was as naive as a child, and sometimes she was as indifferent as an old man. Her attitude towards the host was even more puzzling, although she obviously liked the host's closeness, she could see Tang Nian's longing expression when they were intimate, but in daily life, she seemed to be completely unaware of the host's meticulous care for her every moment.

  At noon, Tang Nian walked away leisurely, leaving Zhu Miao behind to see Si Ling alone sitting quietly on the ground, his face calm as still water, seemingly detached from the world's loneliness. The flourishing beauty of the plum forest couldn't compare to the elegance of his back figure.

  This is the young master she grew up watching. Zhu Miao Jie's heart ached, and she couldn't help but feel annoyed at Tang Nian Nian. Does she even know that the young master gave all his tenderness to her? Does she even know that the young master wouldn't even give a smile to others in front of her?!

  It's hard to come by a woman who catches the master's eye, and yet isn't afraid of the poison on his body. Why must this woman be so unsteady in her affections?

  Alas.

  Is it really impossible to have both fish and bear's paw?

  Zhu Miao was lost in thought when Si Ling Gu suddenly turned his head and asked, "What makes a woman like someone?"

  "Ah?" Zhu Miao Jie was taken aback.

  Si Ling's lonely geese eyebrows revealed a puzzled expression, and she asked again: "How can Nian Nian like me?"

  Zhu Miao quietly wiped the sweat, and smiled gently: "What does the host say? The hostess obviously likes the host, otherwise why would she get close to the host?"

  "Why doesn't she want me to accompany her?" Si Ling Gu asked Zhu Miao Ti.

  "This is also what I want to know! Zhu Miao Jie's forehead was even more sweaty, but this must be answered well, otherwise it would hurt the master's heart. Haha laughed and said: "Women always have a little of their own thoughts, but it's just an hour, isn't the rest of the time enough for the hostess to be by the master's side?"

  But unexpectedly, Si Ling's expressionless face gave a serious reply: "Not enough."

  Zhu Miao's voice fell silent.

  Just as the lonely goose's eyelashes trembled and fell, both eyes were shrouded in a green shadow, making people involuntarily clench their hearts. Zhu Miao Ti hastily said: "Master, don't think too much, a man like you has talent and looks, has power and influence, and martial arts are unparalleled in the world, which woman wouldn't like? The mistress is just not used to being with you for a long time, after a long time, she will naturally be inseparable from you!"

  She didn't believe it, the landlord's reputation had been completely ruined by their previous brides' affairs, but when they saw the landlord himself, which one of the twelve previous brides wasn't immediately obedient and eager to stay?

  How many men in this world can be compared to their masters! None! None! How is Tang Nian different, under the master's infatuated treatment, still not moved, if it's not an iron heart, then there's no emotional foundation at all!

  Zhu Miao clenched her teeth.
