Chapter 27: Stroke of Luck
Translator: Sissy That Walk
“Are you all right?” with that Murong Yun’s palm landed on Luo Qianqian’s forehead.
A stream of warm chi wreathed on Luo Qianqian’s forehead, and she no longer felt the pain.
‘Did Murong Yun used his internal chi? How great it is to be a martial arts practicer!’
Luo Qianqian was about to say “thank you” when she realized she was not very well presented.
She landed on Murong Yun from the horse accident and was now she was squatting on Murong Yun, while Murong Yun, the General Invincible on the battlefield was lying on the carriage, the ‘bang’ noise she just heard was actually from Murong Yun’s head bumping on the carriage.
And Luo Qianqian probably was so frighted just now that she grabbed for stuff for support in a hurry-scurry, resulting in Murong Yun’s lying on the carriage bare chest.
‘Oh my, how gorgeous he is!’
‘Such a dangerous man!’
Compared to Luo Qianqian who was blushing now, Murong Yun acted normal, like nothing had happened.
“How freaking gorgeous!” Luo Qianqian blurted out.
It was kind of cute that such a delicate-looking girl shall say such a word.
Murong Yun smiled and replied, “I’m glad you like it.”
Luo Qianqian came to her sense and picked herself up from Luo Qianqian’s body, she kept blaming herself for the gaffe, while Murong Yun was beaming the whole time, “Ah~ it looks like you are all right.”
“I’m… I’m so sorry.” Luo Qianqian looked sideways to avoid any eye contact with him, ‘how could I say such a thing in front of him?’
“No problem.” was the reply.
Su Liancheng’s voice rang, “Brother Eighth, and my good sister-in-law, are you all right? The horse was startled by a snake just now.”
Luo Qianqian pulled the curtains aside and looked outside, only to see a dead snake that was killed by Su Liancheng lying on the ground.
Murong Yun straightened his gown and looked at Su Liancheng, the two exchanged a look, while Su Liancheng gave Murong Yun an ear-to-ear smile and a wink, like he was looking for some praise.
Murong Yun praised through talking via internal chi, “Good job, go pick a reward in my treasury.”
Talking via internal chi required advanced martial arts cultivation, there were only a few cultivators could reach that level across the whole country.
Hearing what Murong Yun said, Su Liancheng was wild with joy.
How great!
He knew his Brother Eighth would reward him as long as he helped him to “woo” Luo Qianqian.
Su Liancheng had been pestering Murong Yun for a long time for a good weapon in Murong Yun’s treasury, while Murong Yun turned him down every time. But look what just happened! Luo Qianqian, a miracle worker.
Su Liancheng looked at Luo Qianqian and said, “Thank you, my good sister-in-law.”
Luo Qianqian was confused.
‘Thank me? For what?’
‘Is Su Liancheng all right?’
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Luo Qianqian had never truly relaxed since she came to this dynasty, Luo Yuyan and Luo Keer never gave her a chance to lay back and relax.
When she was alone though, she would always thought the Emperor planned to arrange a marriage between Murong Yun and Luo Yuyan, but something happened, it ended up being her who was going to marry Murong Yun.
She couldn’t figure it out.
‘I might as well go with the flow and see what happens, hopefully I can earn enough points and go back to where I came from.’
Soon they arrived the destination, Feng Qing announced outside the carriage, “Master, we are here.”
“Good.” Murong Yun jumped out of the carriage, then he turned around and helped Luo Qianqian to walk out of the carriage.
What came to their sight was such a beautiful view, lush forest with a lake unfolding along the trees, and flower fragrance was in the air, so beautiful.
The two somehow were holding hands.
Murong Yun asked gently, “Do you like it here?”
Luo Qianqian nodded frantically.
‘Thank you for taking me to this place.’
‘Wait, but why are you taking me here? What are you up to?’
She was just a girl who was loathed by her own father at home, so she found it suspicious when Murong Yun showed her kindness.
Murong Yun sent her so many treasures and now he was taking her for an outing, what was he up to?
Did he… did he really love her in a romantic way?
Or… did he think she was his only cure?
As Xiao Bai once told her, Murong Yun would die within three years without the right cure.
Yeah, that must be the reason.
“Brother Eighth, my good sister-in-law, come have some food first, we will have some great fun later on.”
“Su Liancheng, why do you keep calling me sister-in-law?” asked Luo Qianqian with a smile.
Su Liancheng replied proudly, “Because you are my sister-in-law.”
“Not yet, call me by my name.”
Su Liancheng took a glimpse at his Brother Eighth and he shook his head, “No, I insist on calling you my sister-in-law.”
‘My Brother Eighth is enjoying hearing me calling you sister-in-law.’
Feng Qing chimed in, “Your Highness, Prince Eighth doesn’t know your preferences, so he prepared a lot, may I please ask you to come take a look.”
Hearing “Your Highness”, Luo Qianqian asked, “Did you do that on purpose?”
She then turned around to seek for help, “Murong Yun, you tell them, they would listen to you.”
Murong Yun replied gently, “You are my princess, don’t mind them.”
Luo Qianqian was speechless, she felt betrayed.
Oh well, the good thing was soon she was distracted when she was presented with so many gourmet food.
Seeing that, a satisfying smile flashed across Murong Yun’s face, he knew his princess was a foodie.
So cute.
Su Liancheng suggested a walk along the lake after they had food, he brought his fishing gear.
Luo Qianqian and Murong Yun both nodded in agreement.
A fragile herb caught Luo Qianqian’s attention on the way.
Was it…
It was one of the herbs that made the cure Frigid Poison?
Luo Qianqian went to the space to double check whether it was the cure or not, after a careful examination, she was positive it was one of the herbs. Such a stroke of luck!
With that in mind, Luo Qianqian dashed to that herb with her eyes sparkling.
She dug the soil carefully in case she might hurt the fragile herb, “Come here, you precious herb.”
