C133 Most Greedy

Shangguan Li's words indicated that he was indeed thinking for the people.

As expected, the difference between this new princess and the old princess was like heaven and earth.

Surprisingly, this time, Shangguan Li gave holy water to a prostitute.

Everyone did not know the reason. Was a mere lowly prostitute worthy of such a divine object?

However, Shangguan Li did not offer any explanation, he only raised his brow and smiled as he said, "If all of you do not wish to leave, you can stay in the Spirit Mountain for a few more days."

A person below was displeased, "Hehe, I came all the way here, but he just gave the holy water to a whore without a word. He really pisses me off." After which, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Some people also joined in the commotion, "What the hell is this supposed to be? They're clearly treating us like monkeys."

Only Yun Luo and Nangong Yu sat in silence.

Shangguan Li, who was sitting in the high seat, gave Yun Luo a praising smile. He didn't know why, but he felt very familiar with her the first time he saw her.

The feeling she gave herself was very warm. Yes, it was warmth. The warmth that he lacked since he was young, the warmth that he couldn't find on others.

After that, most people left in a huff. A few stayed, probably to get a meal.

"Lady Yun Luo, I'm sorry you didn't receive the holy water."

Everyone present was shocked. Why was the princess so concerned about this woman today? Could he have taken a fancy to her? However, there was a man standing beside her. This married woman was actually able to enter his eyes. It was quite strange.

"Princess, your words are very serious. Initially, it was only for one serving, so the chances are naturally small." Yun Luo was a little disappointed in her heart. After all, it would be a month before she could give her the holy water again.

"May I know how to address the person by lady's side?" Shangguan Li cupped his hands together in front of Nangong Yu, giving his a demure demeanor.

"He is my husband, Nangong." Yun Luo introduced.

In truth, she knew why Shangguan Li treated her so differently, but she did not point it out.

However, she was certain that Shangguan Li did not fancy her, because she knew that there was someone else he loved.

However, this person couldn't be said to be wrong.

"Coincidentally, he also has a duplicate surname." Shangguan Li was, after all, a prefecture lord, and seeing the two of them standing out in the crowd, he was definitely not an ordinary commoner.

"Fate." Nangong Yu replied with a rare word.

"The two of you seem to have hit it off at first sight. Would you like to stay at the Spirit Mountain for a few days? Let me be the host for a moment. "

"Thank you, Princess, I'll be troubling you then." Yun Luo didn't know what to say at this time, so she was just being polite. After all, he was from a large Shangguan family, so she couldn't afford to stay for a few days.

Shangguan Li was generous, he told people to prepare the banquet, and those who stayed could have a hearty meal.

The couple was assigned to one of the rooms in the western courtyard. The view was pleasing to the eyes and was a good residence. Presumably, the princess had specifically instructed them to stay there.

"Yu, take a look. The conditions here aren't any worse than those of the imperial palace, right?" Yun Luo lay on the bed and put the green grapes into her mouth. She was very pleased with herself.

"It's all thanks to that greedy old man." Nangong Yu's tone was full of mockery.

Yun Luo didn't seem to mind, "These days, it's basically like this. Whoever has more power will be more greedy."

Nangong Yu raised an eyebrow, "So you're saying that I'm the one who's the greediest in this world?"

"I didn't say that to the emperor. Please don't sit on the right seat." Yun Luo hurriedly stuffed a grape into Nangong Yu's mouth and then displayed a sweet smile.

Nangong Yu chewed on it for a moment, then asked, "Since you haven't obtained the Holy Water yet, what do you plan on doing?"

"Seems like I can only use a special method." Yun Luo had a determined expression on her face. Nangong Yu had not seen her act so seriously in such a long time.

"I don't know if the special method the empress spoke of refers to …"

He thought that the easiest method would be to steal it directly. It wouldn't be difficult as long as he could find the location of the holy water.

However, would the prideful fox spirit really use such a cheap method?

Obviously, she couldn't.

"Maybe if I get on good terms with Shangguan Li, he might be able to be merciful and give me some rewards?" Cloudfall fell into a beautiful fantasy.

Nangong Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "If this method works, then Shangguan Li should have already been surrounded by a circle of people."

It was not just the two of them who wanted the holy water.

"These words need to be tested. Sometimes, it also depends on who the other party is." Yun Luo's confidence was high, so she didn't mind him pouring cold water on her.

"So, you intend to seduce?" If this woman used beauty, the effect should be pretty good.

After all, foxes were there to be seen.

"Nonsense, am I such a person?" A woman slammed the table, her anger soaring to the skies.

However …

The truth is this.

"He can't like me. Lust won't work." Yun Luo changed the topic of the conversation. "As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy well. If you want to have a good relationship with him and establish an innocent friendship, you must understand his hobbies and be at ease with him."

Nangong Yu nodded, "The flower on your head is a good example."

Yun Luo didn't understand, "What pile?"

With a cold expression, Nangong Yu reached out a hand to take the Jade Flower Jade Flower, and placed it in front of her, "Oh, if this isn't a pile, then what is it?"

"My mother, this flower is wilting too fast!" Yun Luo felt helpless and could only cast her spell. The flower had returned to its original appearance.

"Looks like magic is indeed stronger than magic." Nangong Yu couldn't help but sigh with emotion. With such a powerful and resourceful wife like this, even he, the Emperor, felt a mountain of pressure from her.

"Of course, I have lived for three hundred years. Without some skills, how can I continue to live in the Demon World?" Some woman put another grape in her mouth.

Nangong Yu smiled inwardly, then thought of something else. "Oh right, you haven't said why Shangguan Li doesn't like you."

"Because the person he loves is …" Yun Luo put her mouth close to his ear and whispered a few words.

When Nangong Yu heard this, he was stunned for a long time.

To be able to make a person who has seen countless great scenes have such an expression, it was indeed shocking.

In the backyard, in the woodshed.

"I saw you being very interested in that girl behind the screen."

"What, is our Master Shangguan jealous?"

The man who spoke first hugged the one who answered, locking him tightly in his arms, "Yes, very jealous, I hate it when you smile at others."

"I smiled at her because she reminded me of my mother. You have your mother's love, so you wouldn't understand this feeling."

No matter how much his father treated him well, he still couldn't make up for the emptiness in his heart. Every time he saw Second Madam treating his older brother and sister warmly, he would feel especially envious, wishing that he could have a mother and feel the warmth of her mother's love.

However, he had hoped for this matter for eighteen years. In the end, it was just a dream.

"In the future, if you have me to love you, that's enough."

"Tell me …" Is it really okay for us to be like this? "If father finds out …"

How could that stubborn old man accept such an absurd thing?

"No matter what, we cannot be separated. Forever."

Since fate had arranged for them to fall in love, then they could only continue to walk until the end without turning back.
