“Come on in…”
Murong Feixue didn’t notice the change in Ling Yun’s expression as she opened the door. Her current thoughts were latched onto god-knows-what. Her face reddened with embarrassment.
There was a certain elegance to the layout and design of the inner courtyard with its strange stones and flower arrangements. It flourished with Murong Wenshi’s style.
Murong Feixue settled Ling Yun in a bamboo chair while she went into a highly secret place to obtain a key to open a very old cupboard. There was a dark grid after she shifted some blankets.
There was a huge sturdy-looking safe in the cabinet at the side. There were indeed many invaluable items inside the safe. However, that was to prevent thieves from finding the actual valuables in the old cupboard.
Murong Wenshi was well versed in the thought process of thieves. He knew the first thing they would take would be the things in the safe. They would naturally not notice their surroundings so much if they were satisfied with the riches they found in the safe.
Of course, there were also many hidden cameras and anti-theft contraptions around this mundane looking yard. It would take them quite some effort to enter.
Murong Feixue carefully brought out a golden nanmu box from the dark grid. It was a cube of ten centimeters high.
She put it down gently onto the coffee table in front of Ling Yun.
He wasn’t kept in suspense for long. Murong Feixue opened it and revealed an Imperial jade seal.
Ling Yun knew that it was nine centimeters tall and wide just by looking at it, and there was an exquisite dragon carved into the handle. It was obvious that it was carved out of a whole piece of jade.
“This jade is of superb quality!” Ling Yun exclaimed.
Of course it was of superb quality. He felt that fleeting spiritual energy once again when Murong Feixue opened the box! This was a real treasure!
“This is the heirloom of our Murong Family. It’s called the Heavenly Seal. The year of make is unknown, but it was passed down for quite some time. I would say that it’s at least seven hundred years old.” Murong Feixue smiled.
“Seven hundred years? An heirloom can be passed down for seven hundred years?” Ling Yun was taken aback.
“That was just a conservative estimate. What’s a seven hundred-year-old family in Huaxia? Many other big families have been around for a thousand or even two thousand years!” Murong Feixue couldn’t help but giggle at Ling Yun’s reaction.
“Then this Heavenly Seal…” Ling Yun nodded and pointed at it.
Ling Yun wouldn’t have accepted it if it was an ordinary piece of jade. However, this was different. Ling Yun had to have it.
“Silly, do you need to ask? This is what Grandpa is giving you to repay you for saving his life, removing his scar, and also the congratulatory gift for the opening of your clinic!”
Song Zhengyang was right! Murong Wenshi was really giving the Murong Family’s heirloom — the Heavenly Seal — to Ling Yun!
“But this… this is too precious…” Ling Yun stared at Murong Feixue.
“You know how precious it is now? It really is, especially because this is supposed to be my dowry. Now… now Grandpa is giving it to you!” Murong Feixue hinted.
Only, her voice got smaller and smaller until it was almost inaudible.
Murong Wenshi was very worried about Murong Feixue. Murong Feixue should also do her best to get a piece of the pie now that she successfully brought him home. She would be too foolish otherwise.
Ling Yun understood the hidden meaning immediately. “Big Sister Murong, you’re so pretty and capable. You’re the most perfect girl in the world, which man can be worthy of you?”
That was, of course, music to the ears of Murong Feixue. “What rubbish. Who curries favors like you?”
“I’m not currying favor with you.” Ling Yun sat up straight. “You’re such a perfect woman. How can you marry idiots like Zhu Yongwang and Hou Yaozong? You have to find someone at least three to five times better than me to be worthy of you!”
Murong Feixue couldn’t help but laugh happily. “There are already so few men like you. Where am I to find someone three to five times better than you?”
Ling Yun laughed and pointed his thumb at himself. “That’s why I think Big Sister should try being my girlfriend first. You should marry the guy that’s better than me when you find him. I won’t stop you.”
Ling Yun’s words might be playful, but they took into account her face. Ling Yun knew from the first day he met Murong Feixue that she was the same as her grandpa. Face was of utmost importance.
“What if… I can’t find someone like that? What happens then?” Murong Feixue continued.
“Well, then there are only two ways about it. One, Big Sister Murong becomes my wife. Two, I’ll strive and become someone ten times better than who I am now. That way, Big Sister Murong’s marriage will have a perfect answer.” Ling Yun half-jested.
Ling Yun really knew how to push the right buttons. They knew they were discussing a matter of huge importance. One was testing, the other was vying, and therein lie the token of love between them.
Murong Feixue’s heart melted like butter.
Murong Feixue wanted very much to ask Ling Yun about the other girls.
However, she stopped herself in the end, remembering what her grandpa told her. Ling Yun wasn’t an ordinary person. If Murong Feixue were to insist on things her way and wanted Ling Yun to herself, she would never be able to get him.
Murong Feixue gave it some more thought and changed her question. “Big Sister is older than you by five to six years, how can I be your girlfriend?”
Ling Yun smiled and puffed out his chest. “Youthfulness is a matter of seconds to me. Do you want to try?”
Ling Yun wasn’t pulling her leg.
There was Immortal Spiritual Energy from the Earth Emperor’s Book in the jade box that Miracle Doctor Xue gave him. There was also the twelve boxes of liquefied spiritual energy that Ling Yun collected from the Shichiyou herb mixed with the Immortal Spiritual Energy from the Emperor Brush. Ling Yun could absorb these two kinds of Immortal Spiritual Energy and use them.
Ling Yun could do an internal cleansing for Murong Feixue if she wanted. She would instantly look five to six years younger.
“Really?” Murong Feixue asked in amazement.
“I’m a living example. Big Sister Murong, think back, how did I look two months ago? How do I look now?” Ling Yun pointed at himself.
It was true, Murong Feixue saw it with her own eyes.
Ling Yun attracted Murong Feixue’s attention with his left hand and then stored the golden nanmu box into his spatial ring.
“W-where did the Heavenly Seal go?”
Murong Feixue was utterly bewildered. The box was gone with a light tap!
Ling Yun smiled proudly and retrieved the box as if it had never moved.
Ling Yun leaned forward and placed his hot lips at Murong Feixue’s ear. “Big Sister Murong, I have immortal skills…”
“What?”
Murong Feixue stepped back in shock, her huge chest stirring, her mouth wide open.
Ling Yun thought it was better to show her some tricks so that she would be obedient.
“Big Sister Murong, I know your panties today are black and lacy. Tell me, am I right?” he asked cheekily.
“Eh!” Murong Feixue emerged from the shock and glared at Ling Yun. “What did you just say!”
Ling Yun was right!
“H-how did you see that! You scumbag, you pervert! What else did you see!”
Murong Feixue might have given Ling Yun her token of love, but she couldn’t accept that Ling Yun could see her panties. In that instant, a more horrifying thought appeared. If he could see her panties, didn’t that mean…
Didn’t that mean he could see her naked?
That was so embarrassing!
“I didn’t see anything else. I don’t have X-ray vision!” Ling Yun lied. “Big Sister Murong, I said I have immortal skills. You can think of it as foresight. Anyway, I know things before they happen,” Ling Yun explained.
He could never admit that he had X-ray vision. However, most of the people in Huaxia believed in some form of foresight, so Ling Yun used it to explain things away.
“Are… are you a half-immortal?”
