The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

Medicinal mountain.

There was still a month left until the Heaven Gate closed.

Everyone in Fantasy Divine Palace was waiting solemnly.

At the medicinal mountain, there were even more people bustling around, and it was very crowded.

The moment Xiao Ba and Yan Qing reached, it immediately attracted quite a few people's attention. Countless pairs of eyes looked over.

When they saw Xiao Ba holding a man's hand, almost everyone was stunned.

"Who is that?! He's actually so close to Miss Xiao Ba?"

"I don't think I recognize him. He seems to be… new?"

"Could he be the one she previously talked about? Her lover?"

"Is it true?"

"That guy seems to be a legendary warrior? He's actually so young…"The source of this content is Noᴠelꜰire.nᴇt

All kinds of discussions came one after another.

Xiao Ba was very satisfied and pulled Yan Qing's hand.

Yan Qing immediately understood and looked down slightly.

Xiao Ba went close to his ears, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Yan Qing, look—you're quite good at this!"

When she spoke, her warm breath landed on his earlobes and neck, causing them to heat up.

Yan Qing's Adam's apple moved, and he did not speak.

Xiao Ba did not expect him to say anything. Anyway, she was just responsible for praising him!

"Let's go over there. There are quite a few herbs to collect." Xiao Ba leaned in very closely.

When she spoke, Yan Qing could even feel her soft lips brushing past vaguely.

He nodded lightly. "Okay."

Xiao Ba smiled. Brother Yan Qing is obedient for once! I suddenly want to pinch his face and see if the ice mountain will melt.

Xiao Ba was conflicted for a moment but still held it in as she pulled Yan Qing toward a mountain peak.

She was very familiar with the area now; she recalled clearly where the herbs were and how many there were. Hence, she could immediately find whatever she wanted.

Yan Qing obediently followed her.

Their voices were very light, and other people couldn't hear them clearly. Hence, their leaning close to each other to whisper was a very intimate show of affection.

Quite a few young men's hearts were broken.

"It seems like Miss Xiao Ba really likes that person. She's willing to be so close to him…"

"That man looks extraordinary. No wonder she was willing to reject Liang He for him."

"Forget it, forget it. Let's worry about ourselves! There's not much time left…"

…

Shu Jing stood beside the lake and looked at the nearby barrier with slightly furrowed brows.

Recently, this barrier had been very unstable and appeared infrequently. Even she could not understand it.

Even though she couldn't completely control this barrier, such a situation had never happened before.

First Deity and Second Deity's stances were very clear—she had to settle it herself. However… It was easy to say but very difficult to do!

For the past 10,000 years, she had thought of countless methods, but she couldn't do anything to this barrier. Now that only a short month was left, what could she do?

Shu Jing was beyond frustrated, but she herself knew that it was her last chance. So many things had happened beforehand, and her status was in a risky position. If she continued in this state…

Shu Jing did not dare to think further.

Suddenly, a few discussions sounded in her ears.

"You're speaking the truth? Miss Xiao Ba really came with a man?"

"Of course, it's true! Everyone saw it personally, and the two of them are very intimate. Anyone can tell that they're definitely a couple!"

"I recall that man seems to be called Yan Qing? I heard that he has the same name and last name as the Emperor's Left Divine General…"

"I took a look from far away—that man is indeed a legendary warrior, and he's very young. His future is bright. An average person really can't compete with him. He looks very compatible with Miss Xiao Ba when they stand beside each other."

Shu Jing knitted her brows and looked over.

The few people talking were just walking past the area and did not go near her, but when they spoke, they didn't intentionally lower their voices. Hence, even if they were a distance away, Shu Jing could still hear them clearly.

She was annoyed when she heard Xiao Ba's name.

Because of what that person said previously, Shu Jing had been holding it in and did not cause Xiao Ba any trouble. However, she sent herself over now and even dared to flaunt her partner with the same name and last name as that person. How outrageous!

Shu Jing's face turned cold, and she walked toward the tall mountains.

…

Xiao Ba and Yan Qing were standing before a stream.

A white reed—as tall as a person—was floating on the stream as it swayed with the wind.

Xiao Ba stood by the shore and suddenly sighed. "Sigh, I miss Shi Fang so much."

Yan Qing looked at her. "What's wrong?"

Xiao Ba raised her hand and pointed to the front. "The fairy vine is buried underneath. One has to personally go down to dig it out. Shi Fang always did this in the past."

Actually, it wasn't that Xiao Ba did not do such a thing before. After all, back at Peach Blossom Dock, she and Shi Fang had gotten themselves messy when handling all those herbs. But if she had a second choice, Xiao Ba would try to avoid it.

In the past, Shi Fang was her second choice. But now…

She looked at Yan Qing.

Yan Qing immediately understood what she meant. "I'll help you."

Xiao Ba immediately said, "Brother Yan Qing, you're the best!"

Yan Qing did not speak and turned toward the depths of the river.

At this point, a voice filled with mockery sounded. "You want to trouble someone else for such a small matter. How are you worthy to be a heavenly doctor?"

Yan Qing paused in his tracks and knitted his brows.

Sigh, why is it her again? Xiao Ba turned around. "Eighth Deity, are you waiting for me every day? If not, why would I bump into you everywhere I go?"

Shu Jing smiled coldly, and her gaze landed on Yan Qing. Just as she was about to mock him, her expression suddenly changed. This back view—

…

When Chu Liuyue woke up again, it was already evening.

The sky was turning dark.

She opened her eyes in a daze and felt her entire body ache, as if she had collapsed.

For some reason, Rong Xiu seemed especially…

The moment she moved, a warm body leaned onto her.

Rong Xiu's arm hugged her waist and easily captured her into his arms. Chu Liuyue's two hands were on his chest.

She widened her eyes and shook her head pitifully.

Rong Xiu chuckled softly and kissed her. "I won't bully you."

Chu Liuyue then gradually relaxed and could not help but say, "You only say that after you're done with bullying me. You're too insincere."

Her usually clear voice was rather hoarse.

Rong Xiu's gaze deepened slightly, and his thin lips curled up. "How do you know that it's because I'm done and not because I kindly stopped myself for you?"

Chu Liuyue's face instantly blushed. This man…

But Rong Xiu was good with his words.

After hugging her for a while, he carried her to the shower. However, he did not stay too long before going out.

After Chu Liuyue tidied herself and returned to the bedroom, she discovered that Rong Xiu had already sat down. There was a chessboard before him.

Hearing the sound, he looked over.

The candlelight reflected the depths of his eyes, which were like the bottom of the ocean.

"Yue'er, come."
