Chapter 129
His fingertips trembled slightly, unsure of where to begin, and he could only give Nalan Jingwen a loose hug.
Hearing her words, she tilted her head slightly and followed his gaze. There was a fluffy thing on his shoulder that had appeared out of nowhere, staring at her with big, round eyes.
When the little fox saw her, it immediately jumped onto her body and stretched out its pink tongue to lick her wound. It didn't hurt; it was very, very gentle, as if it was afraid of hurting her.
Nalan Jingwen was somewhat stunned. After she brought the little fox back, she had entrusted it to Cheng He to raise and had not inquired about it.
When I saw it again, it was in this state.
Seeing it climb onto her, Jingchi instinctively tried to grab it and throw it away. The little fox struggled and thrashed in his hands, baring its teeth at Jingchi.
Nalan Jingwen stopped him from throwing the little fox away, and said, "Did it bring you to find me?"
Jingchi lowered his eyes to look at her, then nodded.
The little fox broke free from Jingchi's grasp and nestled back into Nalan Jingwen's arms, licking her hand and rubbing its furry head against her palm.
Looking at its obedient appearance, Nalan Jingwen felt a surge of affection for it; this fox was indeed quite intelligent.
Jingchi used his profound energy to heal her, but no matter what he did, the profound energy dissipated as soon as it entered her body, and it was of no use at all.
Jingchi's pupils contracted slightly, revealing a shocked expression as he looked at Nalan Jingwen.
Upon hearing this, Nalan Jing comforted him, saying, "My profound energy has suddenly disappeared, so yours is probably useless too. Take me back first."
Jingchi remained silent, but carefully picked her up, and the little fox nestled in her arms.
Fearing that the night wind might disturb the person in his arms, Jingchi used his profound energy to condense a transparent protective shield. After confirming that the person was properly protected, he then used his profound energy to rush towards the direction of the Prince's Mansion.
Nalan Jingwen was so tired and exhausted that he couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
When I opened my eyes again, three days had passed.
She blinked at the familiar bed frame, momentarily stunned. She felt a warm touch in her palm and looked down to see Pei Yunche lying on the edge of the bed, sleeping with his head on her hand.
He was frowning, sleeping very restlessly, his long eyelashes casting dark shadows over his eyes.
Beside her pillow, a snow-white little fox was curled up, sleeping peacefully.
She carefully withdrew her hand, sat up, palm facing upwards, and gathered her profound energy, which shimmered with a faint golden halo.
His dantian was once again filled with profound energy, no longer a barren wasteland, but had even risen to a higher level. He regained his strength and felt no pain.
She lifted her clothes, revealing smooth, fair skin without a single scar, as if that night had been a dream.
Since her last serious injury, she has noticed that her injuries heal extremely quickly after each serious injury, and even the profound energy within her body is more abundant and powerful than before.
This profound power was even more mysterious than she had imagined.
Nalan Jingwen got up and carefully picked up Pei Yunche and placed him on the bed. Her movements were very gentle, but she still woke him up.
Pei Yunche opened his eyes and looked at her, momentarily stunned, then his face lit up with surprise, though there was still a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"you're awake?!"
Nalan Jingwen hummed in agreement and placed him on the bed.
"Let's take a break."
Pei Yunche then realized that he was in Nalan Jingwen's arms. Upon hearing this, he thought of something and tried to struggle to get down, but Nalan Jingwen held him down.
"do not move."
Pei Yunche looked at her, his face filled with unconcealed worry.
"Your injury..."
"The king is fine."
He stared at her face, which had regained its color and was no longer as pale as before; she seemed perfectly fine.
Seeing that he looked like he was about to cry, Nalan Jingwen sighed and touched his face.
"Cry if you want to."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Yunche burst into tears, gripping her hand tightly. "You scared me to death! When I came yesterday, I saw you covered in injuries, lying on the bed, your heart barely beating."
"What will I do if something really happens to you?!"
Nalan Jingwen reached out and wiped away his tears, "If anything really happens to me, I'll make you pay with your life, okay?"
It was supposed to be a joke, but Pei Yunche said it with a serious expression:
"Then you must keep your word! If you die, I must be buried with you! They all have to come to the back; I want to be buried next to you!"
Nalan Jingwen was stunned. Looking at his serious expression, she knew he wasn't lying.
In that instant, Nalan Jingwen didn't know how to react; all she wanted to do was hold him tight and kiss him.
Thinking this way, I did exactly that.
When she touched his soft lips, the lips that were still chattering accusations suddenly fell silent, and her pupils trembled.
Nalan Jingwen raised his hand and covered his eyes, whispering, "Kiss with your eyes closed."
The eyelashes beneath his palms trembled and brushed against him, causing a ticklish sensation. Pei Yunche gripped Nalan Jingwen's sleeves tightly with both hands, his knuckles turning white.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became ambiguous. Low moans accompanied by the sound of water splashing. Nalan Jingwen supported his body and massaged the back of his neck. Pei Yunche's waist went limp in an instant, and he leaned against Nalan Jingwen's chest, breathing slightly.
After a moment of reaction, she touched her lips, her eyes shimmering, and looked up at Nalan Jingwen.
"I want more."
Nalan Jingwen raised his hand to cover those beautiful, watery eyes and pressed the person down onto the bed.
"Go to sleep first, and we'll talk about it when you wake up."
Just as Pei Yunche was about to say something, the door was pushed open, and the person who came in was Rong Hengyu carrying medicine, followed by Jingchi, who was dressed in black.
When Rong Hengyu saw that Nalan Jingwen had woken up, he visibly relaxed and quickened his pace toward him, but almost tripped because he was too eager.
Nalan Jing reacted quickly, catching the person in his arms to prevent him from falling and getting hurt.
The medicine in his hand was caught steadily by Jingchi.
"Are you okay?"
Rong Hengyu shook his head, "I am fine, thankfully the medicine was not spilled."
"It's okay if it spills, you're the most important person."
Rong Hengyu withdrew from her embrace, as if afraid of touching her wounds. Upon seeing this, Nalan Jing immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "My wounds are completely healed."
Rong Hengyu looked at her smooth skin, a strange light flashing in his eyes, and reached out to touch it.
Nalan Jingwen looked at Jingchi, who was standing silently to the side. He was staring at her intently, as if checking if her injuries had healed. When he saw her looking over, he hurriedly looked away.
Nalan Jingwen didn't say much. He took Rong Hengyu's hand, saw the dark circles under his eyes, sighed, and picked him up.
Rong Hengyu instinctively wrapped his arms around her neck.
"Your Highness...where are we going?"
"sleep."
"But Young Master Pei..."
Nalan Jingwen turned around and saw Pei Yunche staring at him with a wronged look and accusatory eyes.
She said, "You go to sleep obediently. When you wake up, whatever you want, I will grant it to you."
"You keep your word!"
"Ah."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yunche obediently lay down.
