Jin Xiao Ai rolled her eyes at Nangong Ao and said, "Nonsense, if you aren't afraid, why would you be held captive?"
The sky had already begun to darken. Walking around in the dense forest, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
Damn it, why is it not on the official road yet? Was this a scam?
Jin Xiaoye really wanted to curse. However, these words stuck in his throat as he did not say them out loud.
After walking for quite some time, he was finally able to see a slightly wider path. This seemed to be the official road.
Fortunately, she had been following by Nangong Ao's side the entire time, so she didn't see any strange animals or bugs. Jin Xiaoyi's worried heart also slowly relaxed.
"Finally out." "We need to hurry back. Lian Cheng must be looking for me everywhere."
When Nangong Ao heard Feng Liancheng's name, his face turned slightly cold.
"Aren't Feng Liancheng your subordinate? But it seems that I am not the only one under your command."
His voice sounded cold, completely unlike the enthusiasm he had felt earlier.
"Oh." Jin Xiaoyi smiled gently. Are you jealous? "
Nangong Ao felt awkward. Did he look like he was jealous?
Well, maybe a little?
Nangong Ao didn't know that his emotions could be expressed so clearly on his face. He had thought that he had concealed it well. If it was before, perhaps he wouldn't care so much about the close relationship that Jin Xiaoyi had with someone, but now, his gaze would involuntarily rest on Jin Xiaoyi. One of the main reasons was because he saw the butterfly birthmark on Jin Xiaoyi's chest, so he suspected that Jin Xiaoyi was the woman from five years ago.
Of course, there was also another reason. It was because he had an unfamiliar feeling towards Jin Xiao Ai.
He had always thought that he wouldn't be interested in women. The news that he preferred to be pampered had been spread all over the capital, and there had even been people who called him a monster.
Those dark days were still imprinted in his mind.
He was originally not the crown prince of the Heavenly Imperial Palace. That year, it was as if his father the emperor had lost his mind and recognized no one. He did not even recognize his own son. At that time, the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Imperial Kingdom, Nangong Hong, was also implicated.
At that time, the palace was filled with the art of the voodoo Gu. The old emperor thought that the voodoo Gu had harmed him, so he started a massacre. Nangong Hong was the first one to be implicated. At that time, Nangong Hong liked to research some so-called "immortal arts". Later on, these so-called "immortal arts" were proven to be witchcraft techniques. Although Nangong Hong's cultivation could not harm others, because of his identity and position, Nangong Hong was believed to want to kill the old emperor as soon as possible. Thus, the old emperor ordered people to capture Nangong Hong.
But who would have thought that night, a huge fire broke out in Nangong Hong's cell and he was burnt to ashes.
Things did not end like this. After Nangong Hong died, the old emperor's grief was overflowing. He had even turned into a demon and killed most of the sons of the royal family.
Nangong Ao was originally a very dangerous prince, but luckily, he had thought of a way to escape this massacre.
What method?
That was to raise a male pet.
The old emperor thought that he had also lost his mind and was actually a pampered man. Thus, he didn't kill him and instead pampered him because of this.
As for Nangong Jue, he was also King An. Because his mother was the old emperor's favorite concubine, but that concubine had died a long time ago, so Nangong Jue was also favored by him.
Although both of them were favored by the emperor, neither of them dared to seek the throne under such circumstances.
When the old emperor died, he seized the initiative and ascended the throne to become the emperor.
He also knew that Nangong Jue was not convinced. After all these years, the two brothers had been fighting openly and secretly.
In order to loosen Nangong Jue's guard and find out who was Nangong Jue's insider, he continued to raise his male pets, pretending to be not interested in politics.
He did not think that his love affair would become public knowledge. So, at one point in time, a completely different situation occurred in the Heavenly Imperial Palace compared to other countries. From generation to generation, they would hide their daughters and not allow them to enter the palace, or try their best to send their daughters to the palace. But now, all the ministers were afraid that their sons would be taken seriously by Nangong Ao. However, there were also some ministers who sent their sons to the palace for the sake of their own career.
Nangong Ao could not help but laugh.
In the eyes of Jin Xiao Ai, he was probably an emperor with a hobby. In the eyes of others, as an emperor, it was simply inconceivable that he would get jealous. However, he was helpless towards a little girl like Jin Xiao Ai. His heart seemed to gradually lose control.
The two of them descended the mountain, and the sky had already turned completely dark. Dark clouds covered the sky. They didn't feel like this when they were on the mountain just now, so they didn't expect it to be so dark when they reached the foot of the mountain.
"Looks like we have to go back quickly, or else we'll get soaked later."
Nangong Ao told Jin Xiao Ai to wait here for him. He went to the other side to rent a horse carriage. Although it was not luxurious, it would not get wet even if it rained. Of course, the most important thing was to speed up and return to the restaurant.
Feng Liancheng waited in the restaurant for a long time, but no one came back. Just as he was about to take out a cloak and leave, he heard the sound of footsteps downstairs. He walked out of the room and looked down. Fortunately, the two of them came back in time. As soon as they entered, it started to rain.
Feng Liancheng took a few steps down, looking at the concern on Jin Xiaoyi's face. "Miss, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I just wanted to ask you something. Follow me." Jin Xiaoyi said as he went upstairs.
Feng Liancheng didn't say anything as if he had already predicted that Jin Xiaoyi would ask something.
Nangong Ao looked at Jin Xiaoyi's back, seeming to have thought of something.
There was still a lot of time before this little woman could escape from his grasp.
"Lian City."
Jin Xiaoye sat on the hard wooden chair and looked at Feng Liancheng indifferently. He seemed to be a bit angry.
"Miss …"
"Liancheng, why did my Qi and blood flow in reverse? If it wasn't for Nangong Ao, I might have had a Qigong deviation."
The head of Feng Lian City drooped slightly. He didn't think that such a problem would occur so soon.
"Young miss, you have just obtained an Yuan Dan and are still unable to fully utilize its power. Did the young miss just use it to her advantage?" When your emotions fluctuate, Miss, there will be serious consequences. One of them is the reverse flow of vital energy and blood. "
If he had known earlier, he would not have let Feng Liancheng give her the Yuan Dan. After all, this was on Feng Liancheng and he had already adapted to Feng Liancheng's body. Now, it was his first time in her body and he was naturally unable to adapt to it.
Looks like this Yuan Dan will bring him quite a lot of trouble in the future.
"Lian Cheng, is there any way to open the two meridians?"
Feng Liancheng frowned slightly. He had miscalculated on the matter of opening the two meridians. Back then, he had only thought that as long as he did not leave the young miss, the young miss would not have any troubles even if she did not open the two meridians.
However, after experiencing what had happened today, he realized that even if the Yuan Dan had entered Jin Xiaoyi's body, the current situation was still not too optimistic.
It was a pity that he was too weak to help Jin Xiao Yi open the Ren and Du meridians.
"Miss, there is only one way to open up the two meridians, and that is to practice it slowly, using your Qi to break through the blood vessels. However, this method is not only inefficient but also slow. "
Jin Xiaoyi frowned, getting up and walking around the table twice.
She didn't expect it to take so long. She probably wouldn't be able to wait that long. If this were to continue, she might end up bullied in the end.
"Lian City, other than these two methods, is there really no other way?"
"Miss, before you open the two meridians, please let me always be by your side in case you need me."
However, Jin Xiao Ai did not hear Feng Liancheng's words. Her eyes were glowing and her face was brimming with joy, as though she had thought of something.
"Miss …"
She smiled as she walked in front of Feng Liancheng and patted his shoulder, "I'll go look for Young Noble NanGong now. He has so many experts who can help me break through the two meridians."
Without waiting for Feng Liancheng to express his opinion, Jin Xiaoyi had already slipped out of the room.
Feng Liancheng's expression turned cold, but in the end, he did not say anything.
It was no wonder why he couldn't stop Jin Xiao Ei from finding Nangong Ao. No matter what, in the end, she and Nangong Ao were bound together. No matter how much he tried to stop her, it was useless.
With a bitter smile, Feng Liancheng felt rather helpless.
Although Nangong Ao seemed to have a good relationship with Jin Xiaoyi, he was still worried about her and was afraid that she would be bullied. Thus, not long after Jin Xiaoyi left, he followed her.
"Nangong Ao!"
There was an unconcealable excitement in his voice.
When he thought about the two meridians, he could practice other martial arts in the future. That way, he could have a bit more freedom.
Of course, Feng Liancheng could always follow by her side, but to be honest, Feng Liancheng was still a man after all. He could not follow by her side; it was as if he was in a latrine or taking a bath.
As long as she didn't have to rely on Feng Liancheng, she had the ability to protect herself.
After Nangong Ao returned, Xiao Yuan brought Yao An to his room.
Nangong Ao coldly looked at Yao An, who was kneeling on the ground. At this moment, Yao An wasn't as domineering and arrogant as he was in front of Jin Xiaoyi. He looked just like a weak girl who had suffered a grievance.
"Your Majesty, this servant knows my wrongs." Since there were no outsiders here, Yao An no longer became the Young Master of the Grey Nangong Palace.
Today, he was brought back willingly. When Xiao Yuan caught up to him, his smile was very bright. It was no wonder that he was happy. The reason why he ran was because he wanted to see what Nangong Ao was thinking. In the end, Nangong Ao sent someone to chase him. In his heart, he was extremely happy. This meant that there was still a place for him in Nangong Ao's heart.
He raised his head and looked at Nangong Ao, only to see that Nangong Ao had a cold expression on his face, and there was no smile on his face. A pair of eyes that were brimming with energy was almost enough to set him on fire.
"Yao An, do you really think I'm an idiot?" We have already warned you again and again. How long do you think we can tolerate you? "
Nangong Ao suppressed his anger with all his might. This was, after all, a restaurant, and it was said that the walls had ears. This was related to the royal family's secret, so it was absolutely not allowed for outsiders to hear about it.
