Chapter 45 Repairing the Bonds of Love
The old ancestor was determined to die.
That's where we'll have to improvise a bit on the spot.
Di Jiang changed his posture and casually took Duan Jiuyou's small hand in his and played with it: "Your hidden ailment is recorded in the 'Shufang Qizheng'. The main root cause is the lack of emotional threads. The Wilderness Clan has a secret medicine called the Emotional Pill. If you take it continuously for several months, it can repair the emotional threads. However, this medicine varies from person to person. The specific number of times you need to take it depends on your recovery."
"My illness is actually recorded in medical books? How come I've never heard of this book?"
"This is a unique book passed down through generations of my family of doctors, so naturally not everyone knows about it."
"Then we have to find this medicine from the barren doctor too?" Duan Jiuyou looked annoyed; how could she possibly ask for it?
"No need to look for them, I have them here."
"You have one? Could it be that you also—" Duan Jiuyou was startled, thinking to himself, no wonder there were no women around him.
Di Jiang smiled enigmatically: "Don't be the one who's sick, making everyone else seem sick too."
Some things can be made up, but there are other things that the Emperor will absolutely not allow her to let her imagine.
He was perfectly fine. If she weren't "mentally ill," he would have been afraid of frightening her, and the two of them would be in a completely different situation right now.
"Take one first and see how it goes."
Di Jiang slightly bent his fingers, conjuring a medicine bottle in the air. Inside the bottle were sixty candies, which he usually ate when he found his medicine too bitter. He had shaped them into pills so that no one would see that he disliked bitterness, but unexpectedly, they came in handy today.
Duan Jiuyou hesitated, clutching the medicine bottle, still somewhat doubtful.
Emperor Jiang knew he still owed her an explanation, so he decided to "sacrifice" his vassals.
“Feng Chen is also taking this medicine. He has the same condition as you and has been taking it for over a month. He is afraid that people will find out that he has a hidden illness, so he asked me to keep it for him and come to me when he needs to take it.”
"So he was a vassal." Duan Jiuyou sighed, unable to help but feel sympathy for the vassal far away in the Tenth Realm. It turned out that he lacked not only cunning but also compassion.
They're even worse off than me!
She poured one out of the bottle and hesitantly chewed it.
"Sweet?"
"Love is like love affairs, tender and poignant, naturally sweet."
This explanation was truly impeccable. Duan Jiuyou lay back on the pillow and waited until the sweetness dissipated before asking him again.
When will this medicine take effect?
"It depends on your constitution."
Di Jiang lowered the bed curtains and lay down next to Duan Jiuyou. The space was compressed in an instant, as if only this small area remained between heaven and earth. The bed curtains were soft and made of the finest smoky brocade, which became hazy when the light shone through.
Duan Jiuyou unconsciously clenched the blanket in his hands.
What kind of body type sees the effects the fastest?
Di Jiang clasped his hands in front of his abdomen, looking at the top of the tent, his feelings becoming complicated.
He couldn't be sure; to be precise, he wasn't sure about Duan Jiuyou's temperament.
He knew that Jiuyou had feelings for him, but he wasn't sure if those feelings were strong enough for her to want to be close to him. What should he do if she didn't want to?
If she were willing… He closed his eyes, unable to imagine what it would feel like.
Di Jiang liked Duan Jiuyou, but there were no concrete signs. They just spent time together day after day, and as time went on, he didn't want her to leave.
He didn't initially think that his feelings for this person were very deep. At his age, it wouldn't be very real for him to say he liked or loved someone. Perhaps he just found it interesting and watched the excitement, which is why he was willing to keep this person around.
But gradually, things started to change. She was very clever and could always understand his needs immediately. She took care of him, and it seemed like he was the only one in her eyes and heart. He would occasionally praise her, half-jokingly, and she would listen to it all with complete sincerity.
He refused to look for her when she "ran away from home" before, even feeling that it was peaceful. Now, although he doesn't say it, he misses her.
When she left the Ten Realms this time, there was something he kept from her: the reason he came out to look for her wasn't because of the anxiety of her disciples or the troublesome Liu Tianshi, but because in the dead of night, touching the cold bedding, he couldn't help but want to bring her back.
When they met in the bedchamber, she returned smelling strongly of Bai Yanxing. He was consumed by jealousy, a fact that even shocked him.
Since when did he become unable to even hide his temper?
He was genuinely angry, but his flirting and seduction of her were also genuine.
He became completely devoted to her, but she was two-faced. On one hand, she was completely loyal to him, while on the other hand, she was plotting how to help Bai Yanxing and his Heavenly Dragon Clan escape unscathed during the second struggle for control of the heavens.
She's really dreaming. She promised to be absolutely loyal to him, yet she still dares to have feelings for someone else.
It's not easy to be a good person. There's never anything perfect in this world. If you choose one thing, you have to abandon the other. She's worrying about both sides like this, and she'll suffer sooner or later.
The Heavenly Dragon Clan could never coexist with the Desolate Clan in the Heavenly Realm. She hesitated, so he helped her make a choice and kept her by his side.
But now, he feels somewhat lost again.
Today's "joke" went too far. I originally just wanted to tease her, but I didn't expect to get so into it that I made up a whole story.
He admitted that he was the one who had bad intentions first, wanting to get closer to her.
Thinking of how her twelve previous lovers all ended without a trace, he was worried that her feelings for him were as shallow as her feelings for them. If he really got close to her, he would be annoyed. How should they get along?
This idea infuriated the usually arrogant Emperor Jiang. When had he become such a hesitant person? They weren't him; what did they have to compare with him? First of all, there was Zhao Fengchen, who couldn't even ride a cloud…
Duan Jiuyou waited in vain for Di Jiang to speak, unaware that the seemingly calm and composed person beside her, with even and peaceful breathing, was inwardly cursing all twelve of her former immortal partners.
She thought he was sleepy and was about to get up to check on him when she saw him raise his sleeve and extinguish the only two silk lamps in the bedroom.
"Go to sleep."
He dared not gamble. Even if all twelve of his exes were inferior to him, he still dared not gamble.
—Let's wait and see. Who told me to like such a "strange thing"?
He said to himself.
However, I am destined to have a sleepless night.
The "strange thing" became restless after taking the medicine.
She has had this disease for tens of millions of years. At first, she felt that she was different from normal people and even considered whether to seek treatment. However, because she thought that she was highly respected and that if people knew that she had a hidden illness, she would definitely be written into unofficial history, so she was embarrassed to seek medical treatment.
After a long time, they got tired of living and stopped wanting treatment.
Now that Di Jiang has given her this Emotional Pill, it has piqued her interest in the matter again. Di Jiang's earlier enticement had really tempted her, so much so that she was eager to see if the pill would have any effect on her.
With my already limited sleepiness mixed with a jumble of thoughts, how could I possibly fall asleep?
