Ning Nanxiao and Bai Tuantuan went with the servant to see the eldest daughter of the Wang family.
Because the servant took out a red rope, and although it only flashed by in the blink of an eye, Ning Nanxiao still managed to catch it.
Bai Tuantuan, of course, did not notice.
The Wang family's courtyard was very large and the scenery was extremely beautiful, with delicious snacks and tea.
"Please wait a moment, young master and young lady. My young lady will be here shortly."
No sooner had he finished speaking than footsteps were heard.
Bai Tuantuan looked up and saw a woman in a blue dress walking gracefully towards her, with willow-leaf eyebrows, a slender waist, and a faint smile on her face.
Bai Tuantuan couldn't help but exclaim to Tang Shao, "What a beautiful girl!"
Hmph, not as good-looking as you.
The spoon's words made Bai Tuantuan laugh: "Yes, yes, definitely not as good-looking as me! Don't you know who I am!"
The woman glanced at the spoon, then frowned. [Why does this seem so familiar?]
"Greetings, young master." The woman curtsied to Ning Nanxiao, then looked at Bai Tuantuan, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Just as he was about to say something, he received a warning look from Ning Nanxiao.
"This young lady is very pretty. I wonder if the snacks and tea suit your taste?"
Bai Tuantuan nodded quickly: "Delicious, delicious, thank you, sister."
The woman chuckled softly and said slowly, "That's good then. Little sister, eat more. I need to talk to your brother about something, is that alright?"
"Of course!" Bai Tuantuan said with a smile, holding the plate of snacks. "I'll go and visit your backyard."
As he spoke, he ran towards the backyard.
The woman quickly told her maid to follow. After the two figures disappeared from sight, the woman waved her hand, signaling everyone to leave, before saying, "I never imagined that the mighty King Yama would go to such lengths for a mere Meng Po?"
Ning Nanxiao rubbed his fingertips together, staring at the woman and said calmly, "I never expected that the poppy by the River of Oblivion would actually come to the mortal realm after it had cultivated itself into a complete form?"
Poppy paused for a moment, then said irritably, "You sure know how to tease me. Whose fault is it that I reacted this way?"
Ning Nanxiao sat down, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said calmly, "It's all for her sake, what's there to say?"
"It's understandable that I did it for her, after all, we're sisters. I wonder what the King of Hell is thinking? You know, back in the underworld, the King of Hell wasn't as easy to talk to as he is now."
"When did you find out about her identity as Meng Po?" Poppy asked curiously.
“Yesterday,” Ning Nanxiao said calmly, “before, it was just suspicion.”
"You're not going to tell her your identity?" Poppy raised an eyebrow. "Do you expect her to find out on her own?"
"It's not the right time," Ning Nanxiao said calmly. "What brings you here?"
When it came to serious matters, Poppy became earnest: "I discovered that there are cultivation methods circulating among the people, but they are the most vicious ones, the Yin-Yang absorbing method. I suspect that someone wants to use this evil art to achieve their goals. I investigated and found that it came from Ni Yiguo."
“Yes, we are heading to Ni Yiguo this time.” Ning Nanxiao put down his teacup. “You don’t need to worry about this. Your immortal roots are unstable, so focus on your cultivation first.”
Poppy nodded: "I understand."
The two went to the back garden together. Looking at the white fluttering butterflies playing around with her, Poppy couldn't help but sigh, "She's still the same as before, so innocent."
“It’s different now,” Ning Nanxiao said slowly. “At least now there are feelings involved.”
Poppy looked at Ning Nanxiao unexpectedly, and saw a fleeting tenderness in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
Poppy looked enlightened and then joked, "I heard that the White Impermanence has also come to the human world."
As expected, Ning Nanxiao stiffened for a moment upon hearing this, but quickly recovered and replied, "Hmm."
Um?
Poppy couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Bai Tuantuan looked over and jogged over: "What's wrong? Are you done talking?"
"Okay, let's go." Ning Nanxiao rubbed his messy white hair.
Bai Tuantuan slapped his hand away impatiently, then said a few words to Poppy.
“I really like you, little sister,” Poppy said with a smile. “Here, have a little something for you.”
As she spoke, Poppy took out a red string from her bosom: "A bracelet to keep you safe and sound."
The moment Ning Nanxiao saw the red rope, her pupils contracted sharply.
Bai Tuantuan's intuition told her that this was something very precious, so she quickly looked at Ning Nanxiao.
After all, he's his friend.
Ning Nanxiao spent the day sweeping up poppies, sighed inwardly, and said, "Take them."
Bai Tuantuan immediately agreed, and Poppy helped her put it on, smiling: "It looks great."
Bai Tuantuan looked at the patterns on the red rope with a complicated expression: "So beautiful."
"Alright, we're leaving now." Ning Nanxiao said, and then left with Bai Tuantuan.
As soon as they stepped out the door, Bai Tuantuan started chattering: "Ning Nanxiao, when did you meet such a beautiful older sister? Is she your sweetheart? Why don't you bring her to the capital?"
"Just friends." Ning Nanxiao rubbed his temples. "Alright, let's rest for the night and continue our journey tomorrow."
After saying that, Ning Nanxiao ran back to her room.
Bai Tuantuan was delighted.
The spoon in the room also looked at her with a complicated expression, then asked, "You seem quite happy?"
"Yes, it looks beautiful!" Bai Tuantuan said with a smile.
The spoon did not reply.
This bracelet was made from the spirit of a poppy flower; it can withstand a fatal blow.
Nothing unexpected happened in the days that followed.
Ten days later, they arrived in Ni Yiguo.
I saw the iron pot as soon as I arrived outside the city.
"Here." Tie Guo walked over, glanced at Ning Nanxiao, and raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Ning Nanxiao's ear tips turned red, and she turned her head away.
"This is an iron pot! My good friend!" Bai Tuantuan hurriedly introduced.
After the three greeted each other, Fei Qian lowered his head and remained silent.
After all, the iron pot was dressed too lightly; at first glance, one might mistake her for a girl from a respectable family.
"Come on, I rented a courtyard over there. It's not in the city, but it's very close to the town."
The iron pot led the three of them for a while, and they came to see a courtyard.
After sitting down and resting for a while, Tie Guo said, "Ni Yiguo is indeed acting very strangely. Look, it's still early in the morning, but no one has come out."
"What are they doing?" Bai Tuantuan asked curiously.
“Cultivation.” A mocking smile appeared on the iron pot’s lips. “Absorbing yin to replenish yang, these women of Ni Yiguo are rare indeed.”
Bai Tuantuan fell silent.
"So my arrival has attracted quite a bit of attention." Iron Pot chuckled. "If it weren't for the fact that it's morning, I wouldn't dare to go out. Just look, there are quite a few people around me when it's evening."
The deliberately drawn-out sound gave everyone goosebumps.
Ning Nanxiao tapped his fingers absentmindedly on the table, and after a while he said, "Go into the city and meet with the King of Ni Yi Kingdom."
"No need for that trouble." Iron Pot looked at his fingernails and said dismissively, "Just wait, he'll be here tonight too."
