Chapter 120 Watching the Show and Setting a Trap
Time flies like water. For Pei Yuan, the time he spent recuperating in the Divine Realm was the happiest and most peaceful time, apart from when she brought him back to Wangxian Mountain to become his master and disciple.
This was also the most relaxing and comfortable time for Bai Yuheng, not only in terms of physical comfort but also in terms of mental satisfaction.
Pei Yuan originally thought that things would continue like this, but he never expected to meet the person he was most jealous of in his life here.
However, this also led to some embarrassing situations.
*
Having finally separated from Pei Yuan, Bai Yuheng realized that he was indeed being quite clingy.
These past few days, they've been either spending time in the Water Palace or engaging in spiritual communion in their sea of consciousness, as if trying to make up for all the missing centuries at once. At first, she found it novel and interesting, full of curiosity, but after eating meat for several days in a row, she started to experience indigestion and felt a bit tired of it.
But you can't say this to Pei Yuan, and you don't dare let him see anything, otherwise, with that innocent and pitiful handsome face looking at you, it's really hard to resist.
Bai Yuheng has always been responsive to gentle persuasion but not force; he has quite a grasp of her thoughts and preferences.
Therefore, today is his last treatment. She needs to take this opportunity to rest well, otherwise her old back will not be able to take it.
While saying they were resting, they were actually just strolling around the water palace. They were still somewhat worried and uneasy, fearing that something might have happened to him.
It was at this moment that she happened to meet Emperor Yuanguang, who had arrived weary from his journey.
Bai Yuheng was stunned for a moment when she saw the person, then suddenly remembered that it was the fifteenth of the month, and hurriedly went to greet them.
"Have you been without rest for days and nights?" Bai Yuheng was startled. He looked at his dark circles under his eyes, his disheveled clothes, and the stubble on his chin. He looked like he had come from a beggar's yard, which was very different from his usual refined and proper image.
Yuan Guang Dijun waved his hand at her. Naturally, he couldn't withstand the rush and sleepless days and nights. He had already cleansed himself with the Cleansing Technique, but upon hearing her say this, he seemed to smell the rotten smell on his body. He frowned in disgust and said with restraint, "Where is there a place for me to clean myself?"
Bai Yuheng raised an eyebrow, wanting to tease him a bit more, but seeing his furrowed brows and pale face, she didn't want to cause trouble, so she quickly pointed to a side room and told him to go in.
Emperor Yuanguang called from inside, "Hengluan, find me some new clothes!"
"..." Bai Yuheng stood with her hands on her hips for a while. How could she accept being ordered around by this person as soon as he arrived?
She only thought it to herself, but she still quickly found him a few new clothes that she had prepared for Pei Yuan recently.
She did enjoy the fun of dressing up and changing clothes, and because the person she dressed up was exceptionally beautiful and handsome, the effect was greatly enhanced, making it extremely pleasing to the eye. This made her collect a lot of clothes of various styles and colors with great enthusiasm.
Perhaps with a hint of teasing, she handed him a certain garment that Pei Yuan refused to wear, even after she pleaded and begged him to.
Emperor Yuanguang took it, and before he could examine it closely, he felt that the color of the clothes was too bright. However, it was impossible to find him any suitable clothes in a short time, so he frowned and put them on.
When he opened the door, the bright light from outside shone through, creating a dazzling display. Something just didn't feel right. He couldn't pull off this kind of fitted, short-sleeved jacket, with a long skirt and a tight waistband, all adorned with jingling silver ornaments.
Each step produced a sound.
These clothes are clearly the attire of the locals.
Emperor Yuanguang glanced at her coldly and snorted, "What kind of clothes are you holding?"
He tugged at his slightly exposed midriff-baring short jacket, not wanting his waist to be exposed. He was glad that the jacket was long enough, otherwise it wouldn't have covered a section of his waist. He then put on his outer robe, which made him much more comfortable.
but--
Yuan Guang squinted at the smiling person in front of him, and suddenly realized that it might be her teasing. He seemed to have guessed something.
This garment probably has another owner...
Yuan Guang smiled, a mischievous thought creeping onto his face.
Let's leave it at that and let her be happy for a while.
Bai Yuheng clicked her tongue in amazement, and after looking at it for a while, she still felt that the clothes looked best on Pei Yuan.
Compared to Pei Yuan, Yuan Guang was far too thin and couldn't fill out the clothes she had carefully chosen. She had personally touched Pei Yuan's firm, full muscles beneath his clothes; they were strong, powerful, and exuded strength.
Tsk tsk tsk, Bai Yuheng was already imagining Pei Yuan wearing this outfit. It must be exceptionally pleasing to the eye! The short garment bulged and hung in the air, revealing a section of fair and smooth, lean and vigorous waist with bulging muscles and throbbing blood.
"..." Yuan Guang could guess three-tenths of what was going on just by looking at her. There was no way around it; they had known each other for too long and were already as familiar as family. "Aren't you afraid that some people will be jealous?"
Yuan Guang said slowly, thinking to himself that he had already reminded her, and if she was "unrepentant," then there was nothing he could do to help her.
Bai Yuheng coughed lightly, glared at him, and said stubbornly, "Pei Yuan isn't that petty. Don't judge a gentleman by your own petty standards."
Look.
He brought this upon himself, so you can't blame him.
Yuan Guang thought to himself, "Your good gentleman is most afraid of him."
However, Yuan Guang never expected that the renowned Emperor Hengluan would be the kind of person whose mind and eyes were blinded by love, and that one day he would see her fall in love and be blinded by it.
If you asked him a hundred years ago, he certainly wouldn't have believed you, but now...
He wouldn't say that to someone who was living a vibrant and exciting life in love. He didn't want to cause trouble, and besides, he already had a mess of problems to sort out himself.
At this point, Yuan Guang ignored her and headed straight for the main hall of the Water Palace.
As I approached the door, I felt a pang of timidity, as if I wanted to say something but hesitated.
Bai Yuheng pushed the door open and stepped inside, raising an eyebrow as she said, "Stop dawdling, Xuanlang is waiting for you to come and save him!"
"..." Yuan Guang thought to himself that this person was rude and straightforward. He wondered what Pei Yuan saw in her? She was not like a steady emperor at all. She was like an old child, naive and reckless.
If Bai Yuheng knew what he was thinking, she would definitely roll her eyes and mock him for being blind, saying that his eyes were just for show.
In private, the two are nothing like the composed and reliable people they appear to be in front of others; they love to bicker and tease each other.
As I entered the water palace, I could see the person I had been longing for lying peacefully and serenely on the water's surface. She was not the lively and passionate person I remembered. Even though I could actually see her, my heart, which had been cold and broken, began to melt without me even realizing it.
Faced with life and death, whether you are a god or a human, all grudges and affections transform into a sharp pain, like a dagger piercing your heart. From the wound arises the bitterness of regret, stinging your lips, tongue, throat, and nose.
He regretted it, regretted that because of a moment of impulsiveness, and because of that empty "respect" for her wishes, he never dared to come and see her.
He didn't even dare to imagine how much he would regret it and how much he would hate himself if that separation were forever.
Yuan Guang hadn't forgotten the purpose of his visit. He placed his hand on her weak pulse, his thick eyebrows furrowing as he examined her pulse with his eyes, nose, and palpation.
After a long while, Yuan Guang finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"The snake woman took good care of her."
He was both relieved and terrified.
"What are the odds of success?" Bai Yuheng felt reassured when she heard him say that.
“Eighty percent.” Yuan Guang said confidently, his expression serious. “Once I have prepared the necessary medicines, we can begin.”
He paused for a moment, then added, "However, in the days leading up to the treatment, the snake woman's prescription should be discontinued, otherwise it may cause a conflict and have the opposite effect."
Bai Yuheng didn't understand any of this, so she could only nod in agreement to whatever he said, while carefully memorizing it so she could tell the snake woman later.
After the two finished looking at Xuan Lang, they came out shortly afterward to give her a quiet environment.
The two stood side by side under a tree not far from the water palace.
When should we begin her treatment?
Yuan Guang said, "Some of the herbs needed are quite rare, but they happen to grow in the Divine Netherworld. We just need to pick them and process them. It will probably take five or six days."
Bai Yuheng nodded and then asked about the Tianyan Sect.
"As you said, when we released the news that you were still alive, Dongxuan and Lingzhen immediately came to ask me if it was true," Yuan Guang laughed, recalling the chaos of that day. "It caused me a lot of trouble, but I managed to hold on. Shouldn't you show some appreciation?"
Bai Yuheng raised an eyebrow, able to imagine the expressions and tones of these two lively characters, and knowing how troublesome they were, she nodded and said, "Then it depends on what you want, I'll give you what I can afford."
Bai Yuheng said generously.
Fearing she might change her mind, Yuan Guang immediately said, "I want the medical secrets from the Heavenly Book Pavilion."
"You!" Bai Yuheng exclaimed in surprise, her eyes wide. "How do you know that the medical sage's secret techniques are in my hands?"
Her reaction was too intense, and fearing he might misunderstand and refuse to give it to her, she added, "This book was a birthday gift I wanted to give you years ago, but I died before I could give it to you..."
Bai Yuheng glanced at him, unable to understand how this person knew.
Yuan Guang smiled but remained silent, naturally not telling her that it was because his birthday was approaching, and some people knew she had prepared a gift for him, so their jealousy towards him had been almost bursting out in the past few days, and they wished they could tear him to pieces...
Tsk tsk. Yuan Guang clicked his tongue, unable to understand why that wolf cub Pei Yuan would harbor such hostility towards him, especially since he didn't like Heng Luan. He also couldn't understand why Pei Yuan's possessiveness was so strong; anyone who glanced at her was terrified by his icy, understated gaze.
Yuan Guang shook his head, looked at the clueless Bai Yuheng, and sighed, "Indeed, there is always someone who can subdue another. I wonder who is in a high position, who listens to whom, and who is completely controlled by whom."
That's none of his business; he's just watching the show.
Yuan Guang laughed and said, "What, does Your Majesty intend to go back on your word?"
Bai Yuheng rolled her eyes at him and scoffed, "Do you think I'm that kind of person? What's given to you is given to you, and no one can take it away from you."
Just as Yuan Guang was about to expose her for breaking her promise one time, he caught a glimpse of a figure standing in front of the Water Palace for who knows how long. His desire to dig a pit and watch the show intensified, and he could use this opportunity to test his earlier guess and see who had whom completely under his control!
Yuan Guang smiled and, under someone's sharp gaze, casually placed his hand on her shoulder, asking with a smile, "If your little apprentice wanted it, what would you do? Give it to me or give it to him?"
Bai Yuheng was puzzled for a moment, wondering why he would drag Pei Yuan into this, since Pei Yuan had no use for this stuff.
"I promised it would be yours, so of course it's yours."
Yuan Guang chuckled softly, "Oh? Really?"
"What if your little apprentice is unwilling?"
"Then who should you help?"
