Chapter 42 Get Me a Head

There was an old saying, 'there is gold under a man's knees, ' to kneel for just any reason, a man loses dignity. So when Duan Mingxuan flopped down before Night Phoenix and the Sages, they knew his plight to be significant. Yun Canglan was touched and left in awe at the love and devotion Duan Mingxuan felt for his wife.

When Night Phoenix turned and faced Duan Mingxuan, he was enraptured by the stunning face. The red tassels were moving, dangling from ears, were rocking to and fro gently.

The White Jade Fan opened with a swishing sound, every movement revealing the Night Phoenix's elegance and charm completely.

"Are you positive you want me to save her? It will be very costly." Her voice carried clearly, as snow falling and flowers blooming.

Duan Mingxuan privately marveled at the first of the Nine Prominent Figures, ascertaining the reputation and praise he heard was well deserved; with an exquisitely sculpted face and flawless graceful, the impressive figure was enchanting and pure like a fire lotus.

'He cuts a fine figure of a man dressed in red. His White Jade Fan makes jianghu quiver with fear. His hairpin will save the world. The Medical Sage and Poison Sage devotedly accompany him.'

He finally understood why the Sages while so remarkable were willing to attend Mister Night Phoenix.

No matter how distinguished, they paled next to Night Phoenix.

Duan Mingxuan gazed down at the pale woman in his arms tenderly, and with resolve, "Even if it is at the cost of my life."

"What if at the cost of your chivalrous reputation?"

Duan Mingxuan was slightly dazed, but within seconds, he raised his head looking more determined, "Reputation is trivial compared to a life, and I need my wife to be healthy and alive."

Yun Canglan admired the man's feeling toward his wife secretly while continuing the questions, "How do you know I can save her?"

"You may not be able to save her, but the Medical Sage, here, obeys your orders and can grow flesh on bones. Besides, Mister Night Phoenix can save the world, so why wouldn't you be able to save my wife?"

A smile crept up on Yun Canglan's face while thinking; the gentleman was very astute.

When Yun Canglan winked at Yun Qin, a silver thread shot out of Yun Qin's hand and snaked across space to the lady held by

ng Mistress of the Feng's House is not easy!"

Behind Yun Canglan, both Yun Qin and Yun Qi were attempting not to react and clenched their teeth. Yun Canglan seemed to be unphased by her mother in-law's words, however, with a gentle smile on her beautiful face.

"Yes, I will follow your direction."

"Plus, don't go out unless you have business to attend. Look at you, resembling a fox spirit. I don't know why Gui is so mesmerized by your looks. The Feng House has fame and prestige, don't sully that by allowing people to think that the Young Mistress misbehaves."

Feng Tian looked at Yun Canglan snorting his disdain. He had seen Yun Canglan before he quit office, but didn't connect the ordinary looking Yun Canglan to Feng Yun'er, who was a most extraordinary beauty.

Yun Canglan's soft smile remained the same, "Yes, I'll remember that."

Chu Qing haughtily raised her head, "You and Gui married two years ago, and yet you haven't borne any children. If you can't have a baby, find Gui some concubines. No man of his prestige should go without several concubines. What's more, Gui is now the wealthiest man in Can City and one of the Nine Prominent Figures in the world. You should be honored to be the wife of Gui; the offspring of our family is the key issue."

Yun Qi could hardly contain himself, but under Yun Canglan's unmasked glare, he remembered himself at once.

"Yes, mother, I will do as you say."

With a loud cry from one of the servants, "Look, the Master's returnerd." Everyone watched towards the crossing.
