Volume 2: Feng Xiang Wu Yin Chapter 49 For Him

  When merit is accomplished and fame achieved, one should withdraw and let others take over.

  Cui Ling held Tang Nian in her arms and entered the house. As soon as they were in the front hall, she let go of her hand and looked into her eyes, saying: "I've been waiting for you here."

  Tang Nian nodded, her inspiration was so keen, especially towards Si Ling Gu Yun. She felt a sense of unease in his eyes, which were shrouded in a light green shadow, and couldn't help but purse her lips slightly, tugging on his sleeve, saying: "Soon."

  If it weren't for the fact that what she was going to ask next was very important and somewhat taboo for their current relationship, she would have liked him to accompany her, just so she wouldn't have to see him in this state.

  Just these three simple words made Si Ling's lonely geese soft and gentle, with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, "Good."

  When he smiled, Tang Nian also naturally showed joy on her face, then looked at Wei Zhi Shui who was already speechless beside her. Wei Zhi Shui quickly collected his expression and respectfully led her to his own room.

  As soon as she entered the room, Tang Nianian used her spiritual sense to scan the surroundings, but didn't set up any barriers. This was because she trusted Si Ling Gu Yun, and as long as he promised himself, he would definitely do it. This trust made even Tang Nianian feel inexplicable, for she had never believed in others before, yet she believed in Si Ling Gu Yun, and her faith was unshakeable.

  If it were the old her, she might have nipped this budding trust in the bud, but now she feels an indescribable comfort and fondness for this trust. Just thinking about having someone who believes in her makes her want to smile.

  Wei Zhi poured water and asked Tang Nian to take a seat, then personally poured tea, placing the steaming hot tea in front of her before sitting down himself. He asked in a soft voice with a hint of caution: "Miss Tang mentioned last time that she had something to ask me, what was it?"

  Tang Nian said straightforwardly: "I like Gu Hong, I want to get him."

  "Pffft, cough, cough!" A mouthful of tea was just entering her mouth when Tang Nian's sudden words startled her into spitting it out. Wei Zhi Shui stared with wide eyes, and saw that Tang Nian had merely flicked her sleeve, the tea droplets not even touching her pristine white sleeve before scattering to one side on the ground.

  This move was seen as Weizhi Shui and another shock.

  Tang Nian and she stared at each other, saying: "Li Jing is more powerful than you, why do you make him do things he doesn't want to do, yet he doesn't kill you."

  Looking at Tang Nian's sincere and pure eyes, Wei Zhi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and dryly said: "No matter what Miss Tang does, the young master will not kill her." This point, just by seeing them twice, she had already figured it out, could it be that Tang Nian herself couldn't see it?

  Tang Nian said, "There's conditions."

  "What conditions?" Wei Zhi's eyes lit up, and she felt her heart stirring with excitement. She seemed to have heard some kind of secret rumor.

  "Freedom."

  "Freedom?"

  "He's good to me, so I have to stay by his side."

  "... Wei Zhi felt a lump in her throat, her heart racing. If it weren't for Tang Nian's expression being genuinely sincere, she would have almost thought that Tang was teasing her."

  Tang Nian's expression was somewhat melancholy, but her eyes flashed with a persistence that even she herself had not noticed, a kind of must-have possessiveness, and she said again the words she had spoken at first: "I like Gu Yun, I want to get him!"

  It seems that Wei Zhi has understood, but this person probably doesn't understand love at all. He clearly likes her, yet he talks about freedom, and is actually just being stubborn. For some reason, she suddenly felt a bit of sympathy for Si Ling Gu Yun. Facing someone who loves so deeply, how helpless it must make him feel.

  I only heard Tang Nian say: "I want the solitary goose to belong only to me, his goodness is only for me, I want freedom, but after getting freedom, the solitary goose still belongs to me, he can still be good to me, just like now, only smiling at me and being good to me!"

  "But I couldn't beat him, so I had no way to control him. Originally, I thought of waiting until I had enough strength to escape, but now that I have enough strength to escape, I don't want to leave."

  At this point, Wei Zhi's heart skipped a beat as he couldn't help but think: If Tang Nian escapes, the young master will go crazy.

  "If he escapes, he won't be able to meet with Guan Hong again until he has enough strength, and his good will become someone else's..." Tang Nian's eyebrows were all knotted together, looking very dissatisfied with this outcome.

  "How did you manage that?" Wei Zhi Shui was still deep in thought when he suddenly heard Tang Nian Nian's question, "You like Li Jing, can't beat him, don't need to pay with your freedom, and can even get close to him."

  When mentioning Li Jing, Wei Zhi's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness. Looking at Tang Nian's bright and piercing eyes, she couldn't help but smile wryly. After hearing so much, she had also figured out the crux of the problem.

  "It seems that Miss Tang really likes the young master a lot. If she didn't like him so much, why would she be so entangled? Although she doesn't understand, she is so obsessed with getting the young master, and her desire to possess is no less than the young master's."

  "Ah, I really like it." Tang Nianian didn't know what reserve was all about, and frankly and sincerely acknowledged it.

  Such unhesitating candor left Wei Zhiyu stunned, and she couldn't help but think that if only she could be as straightforward as her, it would be great to express her thoughts frankly to Li Jing.

  "How did you do it?" Tang Nian asked again when she didn't respond.

  Wei Zhi took a deep breath, shook off the thoughts in his mind, and looked at Tang Nian's face full of curiosity. He couldn't help but smile, she was just as lovely as Li Xuan back then, making people's hearts itch.

  Wei Zhi asked: "I'll ask Miss Tang a question first. If Miss Tang were to gain her freedom, what would she like to do?"

  This question, however, left Tang Nian stunned.

  Tang Nian's eyes moved as she thought for a while, then said: "Increase strength, get Gu Heng."

  Wei Zhi couldn't help but smile again, every sentence hitting the nail on the head. "If Miss Tang were to gain her freedom, would Young Master also be able to obtain what he wants? But if Young Master wishes to return home, would Miss Tang be willing to accompany him back?"

  "As long as he wants it, I'll give it to him!" Tang Nian answered quickly, but in no way made anyone feel that she was being insincere.

  "Haha." Unable to hold back her laughter, Wei Zhi Shui saw Tang Nian's puzzled gaze and laughed even harder, until she saw Tang Nian's expression turn slightly displeased. She then restrained herself, pretending to be serious: "Since that's the case, isn't Miss Tang now free? Aren't these what Young Master wanted?"

  A flash of insight in her mind, Tang Nian's expression was a mix of understanding and confusion. She nodded and then shook her head, before whispering: "If I can't defeat him, I won't be able to control him... If one day he takes back his kindness, I won't be able to stop him..."

  If the young master really didn't like you one day, even if you were more powerful than him, it wouldn't stop him. Wei Zhi thought to herself, but then she remembered how Si Ling Gu Yun had treated Tang Nian Nian, and no matter what, she felt that these things wouldn't happen, only that she understood that if she explained it to Tang Nian Nian in a normal way, it would be useless. So she said: "If Miss Tang is more powerful than the young master, will Miss Tang one day take back her kindness towards the young master?"

  "I won't!" Tang Nian said solemnly. No one could control the future, but she could guarantee it like this. As a cultivator, once she made an oath, she had to fulfill it; otherwise, she would be tormented by heart demons and might even lose her soul.

  "It's the same with Young Master, he won't either." Wei Zhi Shui smiled faintly. Perhaps Tang Nian Nian herself hadn't even realized that what she truly cared about was no longer so-called freedom, but rather the long-lasting favor of Si Ling Gu Yun.

  This kind of thing, relying solely on her to dispel the confusion is still not enough, the most important thing is that they need each other.

  Looking at Tang Nian's dazed expression, Wei Zhi Shui suddenly smiled a few times with an eerie look on his face. When Tang Nian noticed him, he quickly covered his mouth with his sleeve and coughed twice, then asked in a serious tone: "Actually, to control a man, you don't necessarily need to be stronger than him, there are other ways, that's what I did with Xiao Jing."

  The sound of Weizhi's words was somewhat eerie and tempting, but Tang Nian only felt a bit strange, without sensing any malice. Upon hearing this, her eyes lit up, and she blurted out: "What method?"

  Wei Zhi's eyes narrowed and he leaned in closer, speaking in a low voice as if afraid of being overheard: "Well... let me put it this way, Miss Tang shares the same bed with Young Master?"

  "En." Tang Nian nodded.

  "That young master might make some intimate moves towards Miss Tang, like kissing, touching... ahem, the young master's body might undergo some changes? That is... ahem, his lower half..." Seeing Tang Nian's expression finally change from confusion to realization, Wei Zhi Shui also secretly let out a sigh of relief, but his heart became even more excited.

  Tang Nian said calmly: "It will change, but I won't let you see it."

  It turns out that there was no room for it! Wei Zhi's shoulders trembled with excitement as she turned and went to her own bed, where she lightly tapped a protruding part with her hand. A hidden compartment popped out from the bed, revealing a stack of books inside.

  Wei Zhi took the books out and returned to Tang Nian's side, placing them in front of her. With a big smile on his face, he said sternly: "A woman controls a man by conquering him physically, haha! Miss Tang, you can choose any book you like, and the young master will be yours alone."

  Tang Nian looked at her for a moment, then casually picked up a book and opened it, seriously flipping through the pages. After a while, she finally looked up at Wei Zhi Shui and said, "Isn't this a brothel?" It wasn't until she saw a set of poses that she understood what was going on.
