Chapter 127 Arrival at the Nan Family Residence
For several days in a row on the warship, Ye Luo hardly went out.
Nan Muyin and the others were exceptionally considerate and did not disturb her, which made Ye Luo feel even more awkward.
He felt like he was about to die.
For some reason, this stupid dragon was even more persistent than usual. Although we hadn't actually fought it, it still gave him a lot of trouble.
Ye Luo tried to get up, but her legs were tightly wrapped by the silver dragon tail, so she could only nudge the man behind her with her elbow, "Hey, you're hot... get off me!"
"No, you're cooler."
"..." What the hell is 'cool'?!
Jun Yi's high, straight nose rested against his neck as he inhaled deeply, "Luo'er, you smell so good..."
"Huh? No way?"
Ye Luo was a little confused. It hadn't been long since her last heat cycle, so how could it be coming again so soon?
Suddenly, his gaze fell on Jun Yi. "Was it you who did this?"
"Huh?" Jun Yi chuckled innocently, "What tricks could I possibly be up to... Honey, don't wrong me."
"Perfect, I can try out the effects of this pill."
Ye Luo ignored him and took out the pills prepared by Tianzong, swallowing them and patiently waiting for their effects.
Jun Yi, standing beside him, blinked slightly, his tongue pressing against his itchy teeth, a hint of reluctance in his heart for him to take the medicine.
He could have done it, so why didn't he?!
Sure enough, in just a short while, the refreshing lotus fragrance gradually disappeared without a trace.
This made Jun Yi a little annoyed; he should have known better than to give it to him first…
"Alright, stop bothering me."
Ye Luo now strongly suspects that his early heat is because of this guy.
"Junior brother, I'm off now!"
At that moment, Cen Feng's voice came from outside. Upon hearing this, Ye Luo straightened her clothes slightly, opened the door, and went out.
Cen Feng stood on the edge of the boat, his robes fluttering in the wind. "Hey, I thought you weren't up yet."
"You've arrived?"
"Yes, the palace is right below!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo looked down and saw magnificent and imposing palaces right below the warship. "Are you going to jump?"
"Otherwise what?" After saying that, Cen Feng suddenly performed a Leap of Faith, jumping down towards the imperial city below. "Going home!"
Ye Luo's eye twitched as she leaned against the edge of the boat, watching his figure gradually shrink into a tiny dot. "This guy... won't he be mistaken for an assassin, will he?"
"I reckon..." Nan Muyin chuckled upon seeing this, then gazed into the distance, "In another half an hour, we'll be almost at the Nan family's residence..."
Ye Luo: "I wonder if Yao Yao still remembers treating me to pastries? I've been thinking about it ever since!"
"Don't worry, she'll definitely remember."
"Yaoyao has never had any friends since she was little. She must be overjoyed that you've come to visit us!"
"No friends?"
Ye Luo suddenly remembered the issue of the Nan family's bloodline. She guessed that the people in those families thought they were "crazy" and naturally did not want to associate with them too much.
About half an hour later, the warship flew into a secluded forest. Ye Luo looked down at the lush green trees and asked, "Didn't you say we had arrived?"
Nan Muyin: "We have indeed entered the Nan family's territory."
"Within the territory?" Ye Luo looked at the endless jungle, then suddenly seemed to realize something. "...Could this just be your front yard?"
Nan Muyin nodded and smiled, saying, "Yes, after passing the small hill not far away, you'll see the Nan family's ancestral home."
"..."
Ye Luo's eye twitched. As expected of a wealthy and powerful family of cultivators in the lower realm, the family's residential area is calculated according to the number of hills.
Indeed, poverty limited his imagination.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, after the warship passed over a mountain, a series of mountain pavilions, waterside terraces, and towering main halls came into view.
Ye Luo opened her mouth slightly, her understanding of the Nan family's wealth was refreshed. This was actually just a cultivation family?
This scale and grandeur are something even the major sects would envy.
The closer they got to the main hall in the distance, the more nervous Yu Xian'er became. Her face even seemed to stiffen. Although she had heard of the Nan family, she never expected them to be like this...
"Xian'er." Nan Muyin seemed to sense her unease, took her hand and smiled, "It's alright, an ugly daughter-in-law always has to be seen eventually."
"You're the ugly one!" Upon hearing this, Yu Xian'er glared at him angrily, her previous tension vanishing instantly.
As the warship landed, Ye Luo saw rows of people standing neatly in front of the main hall, seemingly there to welcome them.
Ye Luo recognized some of the people there; they were the elders who had visited Tiankun City the other day. Looking at this display, he couldn't help but mutter, "This is truly impressive..."
"Welcome, Young Master!"
Nan Muyin, pulling Yu Xian'er beside her, leaped down and quickly stepped forward, laughing, "Everyone, there's no need for such formalities, please rise!"
After he finished speaking, he looked around and, not seeing that long-lost figure, asked, "Where is Father?"
The First Elder: "The Patriarch... he is currently in the ancestral hall."
"Okay, I understand."
At that moment, a petite figure rushed over, hugged Nan Muyin's waist, and cried out, "Brother...you're finally back! Waaaaah!"
Nan Muyin patted the top of her head and chuckled, "Yaoyao, be good, help your brother take care of Sister Xian'er and Brother Xiaoluo, okay? I have to go to the ancestral hall first..."
"Okay!" Nan Yaoyao nodded obediently. "Leave it to me!"
Nan Muyin gave a few instructions to the group, then turned and strode away.
Nan Yaoyao seemed to notice Yu Xian'er's restraint, and grabbed her hand happily, saying, "Sister-in-law, I've been waiting for you!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xian'er's ears turned red. "I came in such a hurry this time, I didn't prepare any gifts..."
"No need, no need! Sister-in-law is the best gift!" Nan Yaoyao winked at Ye Luo. "Brother Xiao Luo, don't you think so?"
"Yes, that's right! I should tie a bow on your head and decorate it a bit."
Yu Xian'er's cheeks flushed even more. "Junior Brother... what nonsense are you talking about?"
The Grand Elder's face was full of joy as he strode up to him. "Oh, young friend Ye, you've finally arrived!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo gave a wry smile. "Elder, we just finished the preliminary competition and rushed over here without stopping."
"Oh dear, you must be tired from your journey. Let me take you to your rooms to rest."
"Elder, I'll take them there!" Nan Yaoyao volunteered.
"That won't do!"
Ye Luo felt a little uncomfortable after being greeted so warmly by him. "Elder, you don't need to be so polite. It would be good if Yao Yao could show us around."
"Uh... alright, you little rascal, don't neglect young friend Ye!"
"No, no!" Nan Yaoyao jumped up happily. "Quick, quick, I'll take you to my secret garden!"
...
Looking at the ancestral hall in front of her, Nan Muyin took a deep breath and strode inside. There she saw a man with gray hair standing inside the hall, offering incense. He looked much older than when he left home.
"Father."
"You're back?"
"Um."
The ancestral hall fell silent for a moment. Nan Yushan turned his slightly hunched body and said, "Quickly offer incense to your mother and your ancestors."
Nan Muyin responded softly, then quickly stepped forward to respectfully offer incense to each of the tablets. Finally, her gaze settled on her mother's memorial tablet, and she said, "Mother, your unfilial son has not come to see you all these years..."
As she spoke, Nan Muyin choked up a little, but after a long while she smiled and continued, "But this time I've done well and finally brought Xian'er back as your daughter-in-law. You can rest assured now."
After a long while, Nan Yushan's eyes flickered slightly as he asked, "How long do you plan to stay this time?"
"It won't be long, because the sect still has things to take care of a month later."
"oh."
After a brief conversation, the father and son fell silent again.
"I heard from the Grand Elder... that you've found an effective way to solve the problem in our bloodline?"
Nan Yushan's voice trembled slightly, his eyes filled with anticipation. Back then, in his desire to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, his bloodline went berserk, causing him to lose his mind and ultimately leading to the death of his wife...
This matter has always been a source of pain for him. If it weren't for the need to look after the Gu family, he would have already gone to the underworld with his wife.
"Hmm." For some reason, Nan Muyin had a lot of confidence in Ye Luo and the others. "I came back this time to show my junior brothers how to resolve this matter."
"Then, what are the chances of success?"
"My junior brother said it's about 70% complete, but to be absolutely sure, we need to do more research and deliberation."
With tears welling in his eyes, Nan Yushan exclaimed excitedly, "Excellent! Excellent! If this illness can truly be cured, then he will be a great benefactor to our Nan family!"
Looking at the man before her who had aged considerably, Nan Muyin felt a surge of guilt and said, "Father, I'm sorry..."
He witnessed the tragedy firsthand and harbored resentment towards his father ever since. That's why he decided to leave the family and go out to gain experience, actually to escape the pain.
However, this naturally amplified the father's sense of guilt.
That was his filial impiety.
"Hey!" Nan Yushan shook his head, his eyes reddening, patted his shoulder, and sighed, "It was all my fault back then, it's not your fault, it's normal for you to resent me... I'm already very grateful that you're still willing to come back to this home..."
Perhaps these topics were too sad, so Nan Yushan changed the subject and asked, "Miss Yu has just returned. When do you plan to get married?"
Nan Muyin: "No rush, we all think it's still early. Let's talk about this later."
"Alright...you guys decide for yourselves."
Nan Yushan's face was full of relief as he said, "Alright, you should go back and rest now. I want to stay here and spend more time with your mother."
"Okay, Father, please take good care of yourself."
"Okay!"
...
Sitting in the vast garden, smelling the fragrance of flowers carried on the wind, Ye Luo felt extremely comfortable. "Hmm, not bad. I want to have a garden in the future."
At this moment, Jun Yi peeked out from under his clothes, looked around at the surroundings, and said, "I'll get you one later. What kind of flower do you like?"
"You're going to do it for me?" Ye Luo pictured him tending to flowers and plants in her mind and immediately felt a sense of incongruity. "Uh... you should probably skip it."
"I'm serious."
"I'm serious," Ye Luo raised an eyebrow, then added, "I'm just very simple-minded; I don't want you to ruin those flowers and plants..."
"..."
At that moment, Nan Yaoyao, who was in the pavilion, waved in his direction and called out, "Brother Xiaoluo, come here quickly!"
"Alright!" Ye Luo shoved Jun Yi's head back into place, then strode towards the pavilion, looking at the table full of exquisite pastries.
"Oh, is this afternoon tea?"
"Hmm?" Nan Yaoyao tilted her head and asked, "Brother Xiaoluo, what is afternoon tea?"
"Uh... it's my hometown. Every afternoon at a certain time, people would set out some tea and snacks and sit together to chat and relax."
"Oh, I see." Nan Yaoyao suddenly realized. "You should all try them! I had the cooks make over a hundred different dishes, and I guarantee that none of them will be the same!"
"..."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Ye Luo looked at the exquisite pastries in front of her and tasted them one by one, commenting on them as she ate.
That night.
After the banquet, Ye Luo lay on the large, comfortable bed, rolling around back and forth, leaving Jun Yi speechless for a while.
What are you doing?
"Try sleeping."
Try it out?
What is this thing?
Jun Yi sat down in front of him, a serious expression on his face. "How do you plan to help them?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo sat up and pondered for a moment before saying, "Their symptoms seem to be different from yours, yet also somewhat related. So last time I tried using a little bit of my blood, and it actually worked!"
"What!" Jun Yi's face instantly darkened. "You let them see you drawing blood?"
"No, no!"
Seeing his displeasure, Ye Luo quickly added, "I didn't let them see it, and I even added some medicine to cover up the blood."
"How could you do something so reckless? What if someone discovers your constitution?"
"Things always need to be resolved." Ye Luo hugged Jun Yi tightly and said, "My senior brothers have been so good to me, I don't want anything to happen to him... I promise I won't do anything reckless next time."
"Hmm." Jun Yi put his arm around his waist and sighed helplessly. "I know they are important to you, but others may not be. When you are collecting blood to make pills in a few days, you must be extra careful."
"Okay, I know!" Ye Luo looked up and kissed Jun Yi's lips. "Don't be angry, don't be angry. From now on, you can drink my blood."
"Tsk, what are you saying!" Jun Yi looked at him and chuckled. "Do you think I'm some kind of blood-sucking monster?"
"Oh? Aren't you one?"
Ye Luo glanced at him sideways, pouted, and said unhappily, "Look! These little teeth marks on my body are blatant evidence of your evil deeds!"
"Is that so?" Jun Yi's eyes revealed a playful glint. "Then let me take a closer look."
After saying that, he tried to tear off his clothes. Ye Luo knew he was up to no good again, so she tightly grabbed the hand that was making a scene on her waistband and said urgently, "Stop it! We're in someone else's house. It's not good if they see us!"
"Hmph, so what?"
Ye Luo was speechless. Looking at his arrogant and domineering attitude, she just wanted to give him a good beating.
