Ye Hua gently sprinkled his light on every corner of the world. The moon was hazy, and as it drifted between the clouds, the continent of the Nine Nations was in a tranquil and beautiful state.

Looking down from the lilac tree, he could see the house emitting an orange glow in the distance. Sparkling chattering could be heard drifting under the lilac tree with the wind blowing through the garden. The girl was wearing a light green dress.

Gu Hua lightly shook her head. What was the point of eavesdropping like this? She quickly withdrew her spiritual sense and stepped into the small pavilion behind her. The rooftop that hung in the sky immediately appeared in front of her.

Under the moonlight, Glazed Su Wa looked more and more beautiful. Gu Hua was lying on her back with her hands under her head, staring at the bright moonlight with a dazed look in her eyes.

There were flowers, there was a moon, there was still something missing … As Lady Gu pondered, she took out two bottles of remaining fruit wine from her storage pouch and began to slowly drink them towards the bright moon.

For some reason, she started to miss that arrogant and venomous flytail beast that never lost interest in her fruit wine. She didn't know what happened to it in the end. Once this matter was over, she had to go back and find it.

Upon coming to this realization, Gu Hua's eyes narrowed into the shape of crescent moons, which brightened up her eyes.

The fragrance of the fruit wine filled the air. After who knows how long, Gu Hua inadvertently glanced back and saw a man dressed in red clothes standing not far away from her. A pair of eyes that were as silent as an ancient cup of tea, quietly watching her accompanied by a blurry moonlight.

Gu Hua rubbed her blurry vision and greeted him, "You're done talking?"

The figure slowly walked towards her from a corner of the rooftop. Under the moonlight, the pale face was terrifying.

The red figure stopped beside her and quietly replied, "We've finished."

"How was the discussion?" Gu Hua raised her head and looked at him.

Long Jin looked deeply at her, his expression indifferent, "It's okay."

Gu Hua heaved a sigh of relief. It was a deal now, "My father is with you. What are your plans in the future?"

Long Jin withdrew his gaze from her body, his entire being seemingly hidden in the moonlight, "The Prime Minister has high hopes for me, he will definitely not let me down."

"You're too smart to be feared." Gu Hua tilted her head slightly, throwing the peach blossom wine beside her. "In the future, if you and Father are truly like that, we will be friends."

Long Jin extended his hand to grab the bottle of fruit wine, but didn't open it. His expression didn't change in the slightest, "Thank you."

"But you are so silly." Gu Hua crawled up, not knowing how to describe him. It was just that she felt that this kind of sickly beauty really didn't look like someone who yearned for power and benefits.

"Can you handle it if you stay like this?" Miss Gu felt somewhat worried.

"Don't worry." Long Jin's gaze fell on the fragrant Peach Blossom Wine in his hands, his nose slightly moved, "Since the Prime Minister has chosen me, he has his own reason, and I am the opposite."

"Alright then." Gu Qishao sat on top of the glazed Su Wa, looking at Long Jin with a faint smile, "However, there is one thing that I must do now."

"What?"

Gu Hua stood up and walked towards him step by step. His light and nimble steps and bright and beautiful smile made him somewhat absent-minded, but the young girl didn't notice in the slightest, and instead …

Instead, he stretched out both of his hands and viciously ripped off the clothes in front of his chest. His eyes were focused on his chest and he looked just like a perverted little rogue.

Long Jin's mind went blank for a moment.

Gu Hua silently rolled her eyes. (Damn it, who was wrong?) Pointing at his chest, he said, "For the sake of safety, I think I need to help you heal your wounds first. What do you think?"

Long Jin's pale face flashed a trace of a miraculous crimson, which disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He lowered his head to look at his wounds, which had begun to rot from lack of proper treatment. He no longer refused.

"Go to your room." Gu Hua tidied up the clothes on his chest, turned around, and jumped down from the roof. A tree of blossoming flowers reflected her white face. "Your injuries can't be delayed."

Long Jin looked at her back, and lowered his eyes to look at the peach blossom wine in his hand. His thin lips formed a faint smile that seemed to have no flavour to it.

When Gu Hua Wei had prepared what she needed, it was only at midnight that Gu Qian Sheng and his wife knocked on the door of Long Jin's room after both had fallen asleep.

Long Jin's house was located in the northwest corner of the courtyard, which was quite far from them. Gu Qiansheng would probably not be able to discover it while he was healing himself.

Long Jin opened the door and saw that he was no longer wearing the red dress from before. Instead, he was wearing a white dress, as if she had been waiting for her all this time.

After Gu Hua Wei Wei entered the room, she took out the things she needed from her storage bag and placed them on the table. She then hooked her fingers at him, "You're lying on the bed, don't say anything, and don't ask, okay?"

Long Jin lay silently on the bed, a pair of beautiful eyes staring at her.

Gu Hua Wei Wei Wei was a little scared from that stare and coughed lightly. "Close your eyes."

Long Jin's eyes flashed as he obediently closed his eyes.

Gu Hua quietly let out a sigh of relief, and then stretched out her hand to gently peel off Long Jin's clothes. The wounds that were already festering and rotting appeared in front of her, and Gu Hua glared fiercely at Long Jin, who had his eyes closed. She took out a brand-new dagger from her storage bag, and with a burst of flame in her hand, she placed the dagger into the wine on the table.

"There's going to be a little pain. I think you can take it."

"Of course." Without those dead eyes, Gu Hua Wei realized that the Long Jin who couldn't open his eyes was actually a gentle guy.

She used her dagger to quickly remove the rotten flesh around the wound, until fresh blood could be seen gushing out. Only then did Gu Hua stop, as a soft green light emitted from her small hand and covered Long Jin's wound.

The originally hideous wounds gradually faded away at a speed visible to the naked eye under the pale green light, leaving behind a smooth and fair skin that looked as if it had been reborn.

Gu Hua lightly wiped off the cold sweat on her forehead and started to treat all of the fatal wounds on Long Jin's body. Only when there were no wounds on his body did she finally relax and collapse into a chair, motionless.

She really didn't think that using wood elemental spiritual energy to heal a mortal would require so much effort.

Long Jin opened her eyes. Her pitch-black eyes reflected her appearance. She was just a silly and pitiful girl, so she politely asked him, "How do you feel?"

Her nervousness gave rise to a sense of joy in his heart, but this joy practically disappeared in a flash.

She said, "My ability shouldn't be too bad. How do you feel?"

She was seeking confirmation for the fruits of her labour, not for his injuries. He suddenly thought in a vicious manner, 'Aren't these two concepts the same?'

"Thank you very much." Long Jin nodded. After her treatment, he was indeed safe and sound.

"That's good."

Hearing that her wood elemental spiritual energy could really be used in such a way, she laughed so hard that she grimaced, "If any of you get injured in the future, you can always find me."

Long Jin gently closed his eyes and said, "Okay."

"Then I'll leave first." Gu Hua gently picked up the things on the table and prepared to go back to her room to sleep. It was already the middle of the night, and staying up all night to sleep at this time was something to be reckoned with, right?
