Chapter 38 Reunion 2

  "So, this choice is inevitable. Besides, Ruan Yue is a girl, and we're just pretending to be married." Because of Nan Gong Jin's presence, Nalan Xianuo spoke with a subtle smile at the corner of her eyebrows and a slight upturn of her lips.

  "I don't care. Anyway, you can only go through the wedding ceremony with me. Don't care if it's a man or a woman." Nangong Jin said somewhat childishly. This was also a manifestation of his overbearing nature. Nalan Xianyu could only completely and utterly belong to himself.

  Ancient people had a special obsession with rituals. Nalan Xixi could only understand Nan Gongyin's overbearing behavior in this way.

  "What's the purpose of sneaking into Lenovo?" Nangong Jin sat down beside Nalan Xianuo's bed, pulling her into his own arms and holding her tightly, feeling the long-lost warmth.

  "Kill the ruler of Lenovo country, make Lenovo country lose its center, if possible, solve Huangfu Ling together." Nalan Xianuo shrank into Nan Gong Yu's arms and said coldly.

  "That's on the day of our wedding. Kill him." Nangong Jin didn't think that his sworn enemy would still be lurking around here.

  "So soon." Nalan Xianyu sat up straight and turned to look at Nan Gongyin. "There are still ten days until the wedding day, I'm afraid it's not possible. There are many powerful people around Huangfu Song, and most importantly, it's easy for me to kill him, but it will provoke Liangguo's hostility towards Luotian." Nalan Xianyu furrowed her brow, so she had been thinking of a way to make Rongyang do something that was both righteous and would not provoke revenge. Liangguo was not a simple country, if the ruler died, even if the prince died, they also had the ability to organize troops to come and conquer. Luotian was still not suitable for mobilizing troops after the war for a year.

  "Why don't you just bring calamity upon yourself." Nangong Jin's mouth curled up into a devilishly charming yet cold smile, full of arrogance.

  "Bring calamity upon whom."

  "Sheng Jin Guo." Nan Gong Jin faintly spat out these three words, his eyes filled with a determined must-win attitude. "Du Gu Han attended the birthday banquet of Huang Fu Song and did not leave Lian Xiang Guo." These were all things he had inquired about clearly.

  "There's no leaving. Why." Nalan Xixi asked somewhat nervously. Dugu Han continued to stay here, would it bring a lot of trouble for himself, or would he be asking himself about the series of events that led to his amnesia.

  "Madam, you reacted so strongly to the name Dugu Han. I'm getting jealous." Nangong Jin tightened his arms around Nalan Xianuo's slender waist and said with a very unpleasant tone.

  "You're a vinegar jar!" Nalan Xiner laughed and scolded, stretching out her hand to tap Nan Gongyin's head.

  Nan Gong Jin grasped her fingers, his eyes filled with deep affection. "Only you can poke my head like this." Nan Gong Jin was a ruthless and cruel person, but in front of Nan Gong Yan, he could put down his cold-blooded side, yet he would never act like a rascal or a hoodlum, being childish and jealous. In front of Nan Gong Yan, apart from love, he also needed to have dignity and authority. Only in front of Na Lan Xian Nuo could he be his most primitive self, his happiest and most ordinary self.

  "Alright. Vinegar jar. I'm just afraid of Du Guo Han asking me about my amnesia." Nalan Xixi explained.

  "Amnesia." Nangong Jin's face was bewildered. What time was this?

  "It's all a lie I made up. How else could I gain Huangfu Ling's trust? And besides..." Nalan Xianyu thought that because of this reason, Nan Gongyan had suffered a huge blow. He wanted to tell Nan Gongjin, but for now, the pressing matter at hand hadn't been resolved yet. Let's deal with this issue first. "Forget it, I'll tell you slowly later. You just said that Dugu Han didn't leave, what's the reason?"

  "Because of the Beast Taming Scripture." Nan Gong Jin said slowly. The Beast Taming Scripture, in the folk, has been passed down with great fanfare. Dugu Han didn't hurry to leave, naturally also wanting to investigate this news. To know that with the Beast Taming Scripture, unifying the world is just a matter of time. For every leader, it's an irresistible temptation.

  "The Secret Book of Beast Taming." Nalan Xinnuo exclaimed in surprise. Could it be that this secret book was from the United States? What about the booklet that Shangguan Hongye gave her, was it also a beast taming secret book?

  "Yes. Rumor has it that the Beast Taming Technique's secret manual is in the imperial palace of Lianxiang Country. That's why Dugu Han stayed here. It's also for this reason that he wants to gather information about the Beast Taming Technique."

  "We can't let such a dangerous thing fall into someone else's hands, so we have no choice but to go and retrieve this secret manual." Nalan Xianyu's bright eyes shone with intense possessiveness.

  "Not bad. Moreover, I also promised Shangguan Qinyin to retrieve the secret book of Yu Shou Jue and take away the divine beast on the island." Nangong Jin told Nalan Xianuo about the promise he made to Shangguan Qinyin.

  "Why doesn't she want the divine beast." Nalan Xixi was puzzled.

  "She said the divine beast would bankrupt him." Of course, Nangong Jin thought this reason was quite far-fetched. Narlan Xianuo wouldn't believe it was just because of this reason either. But Shangguan Qinyue must have had her own plans. Let her be for now.

  However, Nalan Xianyu confirmed one thing - the method booklet in his hand for using a short flute to tame beasts was not some kind of secret recipe, it might just be an ordinary instrument for taming beasts; otherwise, why would Shangguan Qinyin let Nan Gongyin come and look for it.

  "Back to the original question. You're saying that it was a frame-up job on Dugu Han." After understanding what she was curious about, Nalan Xianyu immediately went back to the original point of inquiry.

  That's right.

  "But this requires time to arrange and execute. Ten days may not be enough. I have to think of a way to get Huang Fu Song to delay our wedding." Nalan Xianyu's mind started racing again.

  "Thank you, madam." Nangong Jin suddenly raised a dazzling smile, which made Nalan Xianuo somewhat dazed. Her own man was indeed the most handsome in the world.

  "You're such a freeloader." Nalan Xianyu said with a smile, scolding him as she wrapped her arms around Nan Gongyin's neck and nuzzled against his chest like a little cat.

  "What's eating soft rice." Nangong Jin cooperated and hugged her tighter.

  "It's all thanks to Mrs. Lian's protection." Nalan Xixi continued to cling.

  "I'm delighted." Nangong Jin's smile gradually turned sly, then whispered softly, "Madam, shouldn't we go to bed?"

  Nalan Xiong suddenly blushed as he understood Nan Gongyin's meaning. It seemed that they had been apart for too long, and he was actually shy.

  "We've just met and you're thinking of that already." Nalan Xixi rebuked, her usual proud demeanor nowhere to be seen as her face turned bright red, making Nan Gongyin unable to resist pecking her cheek twice.

  "It's been a year..." He sighed lightly, then, like a parched person encountering a refreshing spring, he fiercely pressed his lips to Nalan Xixi's red mouth and sucked in deeply.

  Nalan Xixiao's nature is that he will never let the other party take control, and he won't back down even if it means biting hard. So, every time they kiss, it's like a battle. Two passionate people meet, and all they can do is compete with each other, burning more fiercely.

  "I'll go and arrange the framing incident, you go and delay the wedding day." The sky was just getting light. Nan Gong Jin got up at this time. It's not easy to be noticed when going out now.

  "You've already made up your mind." Nalan Xixi asked with a surprised expression.

  The invincible Nalan Xiong revealed such an expression for himself. Nan Gong Jin was proud from the bottom of his heart. "Your husband is awesome, right?"

  "How to do it." Nalan Xixi's eyes sparkled with excitement.

  Nangong Jin used his index finger to tap on Nalan Xixi's nose tip. "This, I'll tell you tonight. However, I need a large sum of silver. You should have it, General."

  "That's for sure. However, a formidable husband like you still needs an even more formidable wife to assist you." Nalan Xixi's unyielding spirit emerged once again.

  "I can wait for them to bring it to me first. It's just that time-wise..." Nangong Jin looked at Nalan Xian with a troubled expression.

  "There's plenty of time anyway. It doesn't have to be on the day of the wedding." Nalan Xixi said with a smug expression, looking at Nan Gongyin, waiting for him to try and win against her.

  Nan Gong Jin paused, admitting that his actions on the day of the wedding were entirely driven by his own selfish desires. He simply couldn't bear to see Nalan Xianyu marry someone else. This little rascal was intentionally provoking him.

  "That day was chaotic with crowds. It's better to take action."

  "But I can guarantee that at other times it will also be successfully completed." After finishing, he gave Nangong Jin a provocative look.

  "Alright, alright. I lost, okay?" Nangong Jin said helplessly. "You just had to win against me."

  Nalan Xixi nodded and then retreated into Nangong Jin's arms, becoming a little woman again.

  "Alright, I should get going. It's almost dawn." Although Nangong Jin didn't want to give up the comfort of having his wife in his arms, he knew that more important matters took priority now. The throne may not be important to him, but he had a responsibility towards his people.

  "Uh-huh. Be careful." Nalan Xixi withdrew her head from Nan Gongyin's arms. "Wait a minute."

  "What's wrong."

  "If you go out to do things yourself, what about this face that attracts people's attention?" His face is too handsome and must be unforgettable to others. Moreover, it will also attract the attention of others from time to time. It's not safe to do things like this.

  "Don't worry, I have this." Nangong Jin pulled out a human skin mask from his pocket and smiled complacently. "This was given to me by Shangguan Qinyin of the Medicine Immortal Island, just in case."

  Looking at the familiar human skin mask, Nalan Xianuo's entire body stiffened. She had never told Nan Gongyin about her true appearance. There was always no suitable opportunity.

  "Be careful." Nalan Xixi said somewhat uncomfortably.

  Nangong Jin naturally knew Nalan Xinnuo's thoughts, so he just smiled and left a kiss on her face before instantly disappearing in Nalan Xinnuo's room.

  Nan Gong Jin probably knew all along that he had been using a human skin mask. When he first crossed over, he was able to notice something was off about his face right away. How could Nan Gong Jin, who had been intimate with him for so long, not know?

  He has been waiting for his own confession all along.

  Actually, Nalan Xixi didn't think there was anything that couldn't be said. It's just because of this idea that she always forgets to inform him. Then tonight, let her show him her true face. After all, he is her husband.
