"Leave Bei Ming Haotian and Nangong Ziyan behind, huh?"
After muttering to himself in a gloomy tone, Baili Yuechan turned around and walked towards the bathroom. No matter who that woman was, she didn't care if you wanted her to be of help to her.
Conquering cities is inferior to winning hearts and minds; she refused to believe that Baili Yuechan couldn't defeat them.
Nangong Ziyan's family enjoyed a happy meal at Baiweilou Restaurant and didn't return to the young master's residence until dark.
After a busy day, Hua Nongying dragged his tired body back to the young master's mansion. Standing at the gate of the mansion, he used to feel lonely even when he was home, but today, knowing that she was there, his fatigue vanished without him realizing it, and most importantly, he was in a great mood.
"Young Master Hua, why are you only coming back now? Have you had dinner yet?"
Just as he was lost in thought, a sudden, familiar voice made his eyes light up, and he stared intently at those smiling eyes.
"Yan'er, have you eaten?"
Hua Nongying didn't answer but instead asked a question.
"Young Master Hua, please look at the sky. Do you think I, Nangong Ziyan, would starve myself to this point? I am someone who cares a lot about my three meals a day." Nangong Ziyan, dressed in a simple and elegant white gauze dress, jogged over to Hua Nongying's side, looking him up and down. It's really hard to be a person, and it's even harder to be someone of status. Just by looking at Hua Nongying, you can tell that he's so busy that he doesn't even have time for dinner.
"Young Master Hua, I've come to say goodbye. We'll be leaving early every morning."
Out of politeness, Nangong Ziyan came over to say goodbye to Hua Nongying before leaving, since she and Hua Nongying would be friends in the future.
"So fast?" Hua Nongying's mood plummeted upon hearing this.
"Yes! I came here specifically to say goodbye. Aren't I a loyal friend?"
Nangong Ziyan patted Hua Nongying on the shoulder, her eyes blinking smugly, looking incredibly cute.
This guy is so tall, she has to stand on tiptoe to talk to him. Nangong Ziyan really finds it tiring to talk to tall people, but everyone around her is tall and strong.
"Yan'er, the scenery on Lingxian Island is beautiful, and I haven't yet fulfilled my duty as host by showing you around. How about we stay a few more days, and I'll take you around whenever I have some free time?"
Hua Nongying was reluctant to see her leave. That night, he talked with Nangong Ruichen for a long time. In his half-drunk and half-awake state, he understood Nangong Ruichen's meaning. Moreover, he was really drunk that night, truly reaching a state of drunken stupor. He only remembered that he slept very peacefully that night.
“Right? I really shouldn’t have chosen to come during the Fengyun Tournament. I should have come at a different time.” Nangong Ziyan looked completely at ease, and her unpretentious manner captivated Hua Nongying.
"But it's alright since you're so busy. Next time I come, you'd better do your best to be a good host!"
"Are you really leaving?"
Hua Nongying asked again.
"What? You can't bear to part with him?" The woman stared at Hua Nongying with wide, bright eyes and a warm smile. She touched her ear. Perhaps because she had saved Hua Nongying's life, she felt very natural in front of him and truly regarded him as a friend.
"If I, the young master, said I couldn't bear to part with you, would you stay?"
Hua Nongying met her clear eyes without flinching. Luckily, she was oblivious and didn't see through his intentions; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to talk so naturally.
"No, so Young Master Hua, you don't need to say anything more. Otherwise, I would feel it would be hard to refuse such hospitality and end up staying here for half a year. As the saying goes, it's better to have a bushel of food than a single extra bite. With my appetite, I could definitely eat your entire manor out of business."
Nangong Ziyan said this jokingly, yet with an exaggerated air.
Hua Nongying was amused by his appearance. If she could really stay here for a year or two, he would be overjoyed. He could easily feed her with her small appetite.
"In that case, have a safe journey." Hua Nongying knew she couldn't keep her and didn't force it; they would have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future.
"Hmm! Come visit Nangong Liuli Palace sometime! Here! This is for you. Use it for self-defense if you encounter monsters or demonic beasts. It's very effective!"
Nangong Ziyan handed Hua Nongying a colorful glass bottle filled with a bright red liquid, like blood.
"Thanks!"
Hua Nongying smiled and accepted it, holding it in her hand as if it were a precious treasure.
Goodnight! I'm leaving.
Nangong Ziyan waved to Hua Nongying, then smiled and jogged away.
Looking at her pretty back, Hua Nongying recalled the scene of their first meeting.
That night, the weather was gloomy. He was hot and tired, and while being chased by the enemy, he accidentally stumbled into the South China Sea Glass Palace. He didn't know how he got in. Covered in wounds, he appeared in her boudoir in the middle of the night.
Startled awake, she opened her eyes and, instead of showing fear as he had expected, curiously examined him. In just a moment, she was barefoot, off the bed, bandaging his wounds. Her astonishing actions surprised and moved him. Any other woman would have screamed or called for help, but she remained remarkably calm. During the five days she stayed with him, she took excellent care of him, providing him with a level of tenderness he had never experienced before. Even later, when he learned she was a young lady from the South China Sea Crystal Palace, he impulsively wanted to go find her, but for various reasons, he never managed to.
"Brother Ying!"
The appearance of Hua Rujin brought Hua Nongying back to her senses.
