Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Chapter 183 Good-looking

"It's useless to think so much." Qin Xiao looked at her, "If you are worried, you can go and ask him directly."

"I'm just worried..." Nangong Huaxue rubbed his brows with a headache, "You've also been in contact with him, and with the way he is... I guess you won't be able to get anything out of him. If I ask too much, I'm afraid he'll think too much."

"So you're going to keep struggling like this?" Qin Xiao shook his head. "Forget it. It's your business."

Hearing what Qin Xiao said, Nangong Huaxue puffed her lips again, seeming a little dissatisfied.

"...Tsk." Qin Xiao was helpless. "What useful advice do you think I can give? I don't even want to talk to him. He always beats around the bush and doesn't say anything directly... I still don't know what his attitude towards my sister is. He just stands there and laughs without saying anything."

Qin Xiao was also surprised when he mentioned this: "Didn't you hate this kind of cunning and weird person before? Why do you like him now?"

"..."

Nangong Huaxue was speechless and looked away guiltily: "That, that's not...looking at him for being good-looking..."

"What--?"

Qin Xiao narrowed his eyes questioningly.

"Ah, alas... the main reason is that he treated me very well. Didn't you say that was in the past?" Nangong Huaxue smiled apologetically, "And actually I don't think he likes me."

"Why do you think so?" Qin Xiao frowned.

"Because... I don't think there's anything about me that he likes." Nangong Huaxue lowered her eyes. "You say she's pretty, but with his power and status, if he wants to find a pretty girl, he doesn't even have to bother to find one. There are a lot of people willing to get close to her... regardless of gender."

"If you want to talk about being smart... then I'm not smart either." Nangong Huaxue was very self-aware about this matter and spread his hands. "If you want to talk about power and resources... then isn't his current power enough? Even before the old emperor died, his Wang family had already taken over the power. There's no need for him to pretend to be nice to me."

"If you say he likes my personality... I am lazy, incompetent and greedy in front of him. There is nothing good about me. How could he be interested in a glutton?"

Qin Xiao: ...

Taotie, who was enjoying the foot massage and hair combing by the twelve masters, suddenly sneezed.

After hearing what you said, I really can't find any reason other than that I really like you.

Qin Xiao rubbed his temple with a headache: "So based on your conclusion, what could he be doing this for?"

"So I'm wondering. Why do you think he did that?" Nangong Huaxue was also puzzled.

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao: "Do you think it's possible that he just likes you?"

"How is that possible?" Nangong Huaxue retorted, "I've already said it, what's so good about me that he likes me? And with his experience and personality, it would be strange for him to be attracted to someone like me who can't do anything and just wants to be lazy all day, right?"

"…Then tell me, what is he doing this for?"

“That’s why I’m asking.” Nangong Huaxue frowned and held her face, “Why do you think he did that…”

Qin Xiao: ...

"Are you underestimating yourself?" Qin Xiao rubbed his forehead and said slowly, "Why do you think so?"

"Because... I feel like I haven't changed much since my previous life. I wasn't popular with many men in my previous life, and the few I met were all so bad..." Nangong Huaxue thought of the obscene incidents she encountered in her previous life, and a bit of annoyance flashed across her eyes, "It can't be that just because I've become prettier in this life, I can find true love, right?"

Nangong Huaxue never thought she had much charm. After all, some of her past life interactions made her feel disgusted. If she thought about it carefully, she had nothing to praise except her looks. But Wang Ji didn't seem to be such a superficial person...

"Yes, do you think it is possible?" Nangong Huaxue had a flash of inspiration and raised a finger.

Qin Xiao: "What?"

Nangong Huaxue said seriously: "He just has a simple desire to conquer."

Qin Xiao: "...What?!"

Qin Xiao sat up straight suddenly, incredulous: "What did you say?!"

"That is to say, he is also a man, and his personality is quite strong. When he encounters someone who goes against him, his desire to conquer becomes stronger, and he will do many things with a strong purpose to try to conquer them... Generally speaking, it is an instinct, right?"

"..." Qin Xiao's expression was complicated, "Do you think so?"

"Yes." Nangong Huaxue nodded, her eyes dimming, "What else could it be?"

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.

He had no such experience and didn't know whether what Meng Liyun said was true. Although he didn't think so in his heart, if he persuaded her now and the future turned out to be as she said, what should she do?

Qin Xiao's eyes flickered, and he thought for a moment, then finally shook his head: "It's good not to believe easily, but don't underestimate yourself."

"Oh, I know..." Nangong Huaxue laughed.

The atmosphere became heavy and the two of them sat in silence. Although neither of them spoke, the atmosphere was not awkward.

Nangong Huaxue rolled her eyes, took out the pill she had just made, and showed it to Qin Xiao with great enthusiasm: "Look, this is the pill I learned to make."

Qin Xiao stared at the handful of pills in her hand without saying anything.

Nangong Huaxue didn't feel embarrassed and continued to share with him excitedly: "I asked the national teacher to learn how to make it. Because I felt that boiling medicine would be bitter, I thought it would be better to make it into pills-"

"Meng Liyun." Qin Xiao suddenly called her.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Nangong Huaxue looked up at him, her eyes bright and her smile brilliant. In a trance, she could vaguely see the purity of her previous life before she was contaminated by the world.

But then, those eyes that were cold but full of sadness when we parted appeared before my eyes.

Qin Xiao closed his eyes.

"...If, I mean if." Qin Xiao's eyes were deep and dark, "After you've been with him, if he changes his mind in the unknown future, what will you do?"

Nangong Huaxue obviously didn't expect Qin Xiao to ask this and was stunned.

Qin Xiao met her confused and dazed eyes and studied her expression calmly.

"Um……"

Nangong Huaxue thought for a long time in a daze, then suddenly raised his index finger, as if he had thought of a good idea.

“How should I put it…” Nangong Huaxue rolled her eyes left and right, smiled brightly, and answered in a joking tone, “One of us has to die between us.”

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao: ……………

Nangong Huaxue said this briskly, and just looking at her bright smile, I thought she was praising the great sunshine today.

Qin Xiao was stunned and silent for a moment. His eyes were serious, but he said in the same joking tone: "I promise, the one who dies will not be you."

“Hahaha, that’s probably it.” Nangong Huaxue laughed and didn’t dwell on this question for long. “Alas, you’re thinking of divorce before things are done. Look at you…”

Nangong Huaxue nodded at him half in a reproachful manner and made a few clicking sounds.

Qin Xiao looked at her funny look and shook his head helplessly.

……

Wang Ji, who was fighting with the young man, suddenly felt a chill on his back. He stopped fighting suddenly and couldn't help but look behind him.

"What's wrong?" When the young man saw Wang Ji stop, he took a half step back and asked.

"...Nothing." Wang Ji shook his head and did not make another move. "Let's stop here today."

"Yes!" the young man stood up and responded.

Wang Ji nodded, picked up the fur robe from the shelf next to him, put it on, and prepared to leave.

“That—” The young man was a little anxious when he saw this. He quickly reached out his hand to hold him, but he seemed to be hesitant about something and stopped. He only called softly, “Dad…”

"What's wrong?" Wang Ji turned to look at him.

"I..." The young man looked embarrassed, as if it was difficult to speak.

Seeing this, Wang Ji was not anxious and waited quietly for his answer.

"I... want to become a Qi practitioner." The young man lowered his head, his voice getting smaller and smaller, "I don't want to be a demon tamer anymore... Sorry."

Wang Ji was stunned for a moment, and seemed a little surprised: "Why?"

"I..." The young man lowered his eyes, afraid to see disappointment in Wang Ji's eyes, "I can't bear to let Ah Huang get hurt... I don't want him to participate in this kind of competition anymore."

After saying that, the boy closed his eyes and waited anxiously for Wang Ji's reaction.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ji was only slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "If you don't want to, forget it. But don't start with a bang and then end with a whimper, play every game well."

Wang Ji's words were beyond the boy's expectation. Surprise appeared in his eyes and he nodded heavily: "Yes, I understand!"

Wang Ji smiled, patted his shoulder, and when he saw that he was fine, he turned and left.

"Dad..." The young man looked at Wang Ji's back and clenched his fists, "I will try my best to catch up with you."

Wang Ji did not hear the boy's words. He left the Wang family in a flash, thought for a moment and decided to go to the palace.

At this time, Nangong Huaxue was facing Qin Xiao's strong recommendation.

"Take a closer look at this half-moon-shaped bee tail and these large wings. It's definitely worth adopting one." Qin Xiao said seriously, "Besides, it can collect honey on its own and command the bee colony. It's very useful."

"But..." Nangong Huaxue was still a little hesitant, "Although the palace has magical pets, I have never raised bees."

"It doesn't matter." Qin Xiao said firmly, "Don't worry about it, it will take care of itself."

"Hmm..." Nangong Huaxue thought for a moment, and finally decided to trust Qin Xiao, "Okay then, I'll send someone to pick him up later."

Qin Xiao smiled with satisfaction: "I'll write down the precautions on a piece of paper and send it to you later."

"Okay." Nangong Huaxue nodded and tilted her head to look at the queen bee.

Xiao Mi, who had no idea that she had been resold, tilted her head along with her.

Nangong Huaxue was amused by its action: "It's quite cute."

"Yes, yes." Qin Xiao, who had already sold the item and was relaxed, nodded perfunctorily and lowered his head to write down the matters on a piece of paper.

Nangong Huaxue didn't care about his attitude, smiled and shook her head, then suddenly her eyes became fierce, she stretched out her arm and hung up the phone with a lightning speed.

"Your Majesty, why don't you go out for a walk? It's not good to stay in the palace all day."

As soon as the call was hung up, a dark shadow seeped out from the locked door and slowly faded away. A tall and graceful man, with a fox fur as thin as a needle and as soft as silk around his neck and shoulders, stood not far away and asked her with a smile.

"I just came back from the Imperial Master." Nangong Huaxue looked up at him and found that he was dressed like this, and she had never seen him before. "Where are you going dressed like this?"

"I'm not going anywhere." Wang Ji smiled gently, unbuttoned his outer robe and sat on the bed, "Come and see Your Majesty."

"What can I see?" Nangong Huaxue frowned, "What happened to you before?"

Wang Ji was stunned, as if he didn't expect her to ask this. He lowered his eyes and avoided the question: "Nothing, just some trivial matters."

Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Nangong Huaxue didn't force him and lay down on the bed in frustration.

I don't know if she forgot that she was wearing a nightgown. The thin skirt, which only reached the middle of her thighs, was lifted up by this movement, revealing her legs as white as jade, her buttocks raised up with an attractive curve, and the area between her legs was faintly visible, which was seductive.

Wang Ji glanced at the clueless Nangong Huaxue, raised his hand, and gently placed it on her waist, pulling her skirt down: "Your Majesty, do you want to know so much?"

"I don't really want to." Nangong Huaxue felt his movement, sat up and pulled herself down, which accidentally pulled down her collar, revealing her round and white chest.

Wang Ji looked at the emperor who was still unaware, closed her eyes, and finally couldn't help but hugged her in his arms, holding her waist tightly to prevent her from moving.

Nangong Huaxue looked at him in confusion, but seeing that he had no intention of explaining at all, she couldn't help but curl her lips.

Seeing that she had no self-awareness at all, Wang Ji became furious and closed his eyes again, trying to suppress the anger.

"By the way, don't you think it's bitter?" Nangong Huaxue felt the pills and became interested again. He sat up suddenly and said, "Look, I made them into pills. You won't feel bitter if you take them with water."

As soon as Nangong Huaxue turned around and met his gaze, she couldn't help but pause and her smile froze.

Wang Ji's eyes seemed to darken even more, perhaps because of her words, but he stared at her straightly, as if there was a flame burning in his eyes, and his fiery gaze almost swallowed her up.

Nangong Huaxue didn't know how to react. She could only stare at him stupidly, waiting for his reaction.

"…Your Majesty, is this made for me?"

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Wang Ji’s voice was a little hoarse. He gently crushed the pill in his hand, and his deep gaze fell again.

"Yes." Nangong Huaxue replied with a smile, "In this case, you can just take one pill at a time, and it won't taste bitter."

Wang Ji's eyes seemed to have deepened.

He gently lowered his head and moved closer to the hand holding the pill. Under her puzzled gaze, he slowly extended his tongue, gently licked the tender palm with the wet saliva, rolled a pill back into his mouth, and swallowed it.

"how?"

Facing Nangong Huaxue's increasingly horrified gaze, Wang Jixiao became flustered. He slowly moved closer and blew a breath into her ear in a bewitching manner.

"I am so obedient, what reward will Your Majesty give me?"

Nangong Huaxue's hand trembled, and the remaining pills all spilled on the mattress. Her pupils kept shrinking and she spoke incoherently for a while. The breath made half of her body numb, and she had no idea what to do.

Wang Ji pressed forward and successfully trapped the person under him. Looking at the helpless look in the eyes of the person under him, his eyes became deeper and deeper.

The temperature gradually rose, and an ambiguous atmosphere continued to overflow. Just as they were about to get close, the communication ring on Nangong Huaxue's hand rang.

Being interrupted suddenly, Wang Ji's eyes flashed with anger.

Nangong Huaxue shuddered, pushed him away, and hurriedly knelt on the bed to look for the scattered pills: "I worked so hard to refine these few pills, how could you waste them so much?"

Nangong Huaxue lowered her head tightly, almost lying on the mattress, not daring to let him see her expression.

Her face had already turned red, and even her skin was tinged with pink.

"...Who is calling? Your Majesty, don't you want to answer?" Wang Ji was pushed away violently. Although he was a little unhappy, he still smiled gently on his face and half-lying beside her, looking at her.

Nangong Huaxue was silent for a moment, then hung up the phone with a snap: "No, I won't answer it."

After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to look for pills.

...I was so nervous that I stuttered.

Wang Ji chuckled and just as he stood up to get closer, he saw Nangong Huaxue, like a frightened rabbit, suddenly move away and sit at the foot of the bed, looking at him vigilantly.

Wang Ji pulled the corner of his mouth, as if he found it funny, and opened his palm to her: "Your Majesty, aren't you looking for these pills?"

Nangong Huaxue looked carefully and saw the lost pills lying in his palm. After hesitating for a moment, she moved closer and took them.

Wang Ji took this opportunity to pull her into his arms, hugged her intimately, and then reached out for the communication ring on her finger.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Nangong Huaxue frantically pulled his hand down, "Let go."

"I just want to see who contacted your majesty." Wang Ji looked at her innocently, "Isn't it possible?"

"Of course not." Nangong Huaxue held the ring tightly, "I also have a little secret."

Wang Ji's eyes darkened when he saw how intense her reaction was, but he withdrew his hand and stopped forcing her.

Nangong Huaxue took this opportunity to put the pills into a small bottle and handed it to Wang Ji: "Take one pill a day and see what happens in seven days."

Wang Ji took it and said nothing. He stroked her soft cheek with his fingers, his eyes deepening: "If I obey you, will Your Majesty give me any reward?"
