Leng Yinyin was Du Yuan's disciple.
Her return at this moment was already unusual.
Not to mention her displaying such profound sadness.
This made Chen Nan anxious and worried.
He had a premonition of something ominous.
Could something have happened to Du Yuan?
"Brother-in-law, I..." Leng Yinyin's face was filled with nervousness. "I... my master sent me back. She told me to come back and serve you together with my sister."
Chen Nan wore an incredulous expression.
He hadn't expected Leng Yinyin to return at Du Yuan's behest.
And the reason was for her and her sister to serve him together.
It was quite absurd.
However,
He could understand Du Yuan's thoughts.
She wanted him to be lost in a haven of softness and tenderness.
That way, even if he learned of her death someday,
He wouldn't be so sorrowful and heartbroken.
She cared deeply for him.
She understood men well.
After all, few men disliked a gentle embrace.
It was just that,
She didn't understand him.
"I already know about your master's situation," Chen Nan said. "I know your master has at most two months left to live, but I've already devised a method to cure her."
"You can go back and tell her now."
"I will not let her die."
"Brother-in-law, how do you know about this?" Leng Yinyin was shocked.
She hadn't expected Chen Nan to be aware of this.
Chen Nan smiled. "Don't bother asking how I know."
"Go back and tell your master my exact words."
"I will go to Bai Hua Valley within the last two months."
"Make sure she waits for me."
Leng Yinyin nodded solemnly.
She was willing to trust Chen Nan this once.
Without delay, she left the Chen family at top speed.
Heading straight for Bai Hua Valley.
Leng Qingmei looked at Chen Nan with complex emotions. "If one day I were dying, would you save me with all your might?"
Chen Nan shook his head. "No."
Leng Qingmei gave a bitter smile. "I shouldn't have asked that question. Even though we've been husband and wife, I know that in your heart, Valley Master Du holds a far greater weight than I do."
Chen Nan sighed softly. "You misunderstand."
"When I say no, it's not that I won't save you."
"It's that with me here, I won't let you be on the brink of death."
"Yes."
"As long as I am alive, I will not let you suffer any harm."
A strange sweetness rose in Leng Qingmei's heart.
Chen Nan took out the Soul Gathering Pill he had prepared for Leng Qingmei and said softly, "This is a pill I refined. Take it."
Leng Qingmei responded with a solemn "Mm," and then asked, "Are there only you and Guo Yu in the manor? Not even a maid. How do you live?"
"If you... if you don't mind, can I move in and live with you?"
After saying this,
Her face turned as red as a monkey's backside.
She didn't know if she loved or hated Chen Nan.
But this past month had been difficult for her.
Especially when the night was quiet.
She always felt an immense emptiness.
She thought of the scenes where Chen Nan had ravaged her.
Although she had been furious at the time,
For her, it held a unique flavor.
Even though she knew her sister had returned at Du Yuan's behest,
And even though she knew Du Yuan had asked them to serve Chen Nan together, which was bizarre,
A sense of anticipation inexplicably arose within her.
Even though her sister had already returned to Bai Hua Valley,
She still wanted to stay.
Because this man was no longer as detestable in her heart.
"Have I fallen in love with myself?"
Chen Nan rejoiced inwardly.
Truly, no woman could resist his personal charm.
Even though Leng Qingmei had wanted to kill him before,
Hadn't she been won over by him?
And speaking of which,
Having a woman in the house would be quite nice.
At least when he was tired, he could relax.
And so,
Leng Qingmei moved into the Chen family's residence.
She lived in harmony with Chen Nan.
During the day, she learned to cook, and at night, she shared their love with Chen Nan.
---
Ten days later.
Leng Yinyin, having ridden at full speed, returned to Bai Hua Valley.
Seeing her disciple return after leaving,
Du Yuan, with a sallow complexion and haggard appearance, was furious. "Ungrateful disciple, why have you returned? Didn't I tell you never to come back after leaving?"
She was very fond of her disciple.
It was precisely because of this that she had sent her away from Bai Hua Valley.
Because she knew that
After her death,
Cang Jian Mountain Villa, Bai Yue Cult, and Wu Du Cult would undoubtedly launch an attack on Bai Hua Valley.
Once Bai Hua Valley was breached,
It would become a purgatory.
None of the disciples would have a good end.
Moreover, her disciple was Chen Nan's sister-in-law.
If these two sisters served him, they would surely make him sink into their gentle embrace.
Thus causing him to forget his promise with her.
Even if one day he did come to Bai Hua Valley and learned of her death,
With these two sisters by his side to care for him,
He wouldn't be so grief-stricken.
It was just that she hadn't expected her disciple to return.
"Master, please don't be angry!" Leng Yinyin said nervously. "My brother-in-law sent me back."
"He somehow learned of your current condition."
"And he said you don't need to worry."
"He will find a way to save you."
"And he will come to Bai Hua Valley in fifty days."
Du Yuan looked incredulous. "He actually knows about my injuries?"
Leng Yinyin whispered, "I don't know how brother-in-law knows, but he seems to have a plan, and his strength has been improving very quickly."
"He has now reached the peak of the Soul Gathering realm."
"I heard my sister say that brother-in-law is skilled at refining pills."
"He must have taken pills, which allowed him to raise his cultivation to the peak of the Soul Gathering realm in such a short time."
"If my disciple is not mistaken, brother-in-law likely intends to refine a pill to save you."
At this moment,
A gentle voice rang out. "There is only one pill in the world that can cure the aftereffects of Snowfall into the Mortal World, and that is the Life-Creating Pill."
As she finished speaking,
A voluptuous middle-aged beauty in a purple long dress walked into Du Yuan's room.
Her every movement exuded the charm befitting a mature woman.
Her name was Du Huang.
She was Du Yuan's elder sister.
And also the Grand Elder of Bai Hua Valley.
A flicker of shock crossed Du Yuan's eyes. "Is there really a pill that can cure the aftereffects of Snowfall into the Mortal World?"
"If so, then all the ancestors of our Bai Hua Valley who used Snowfall into the Mortal World have died?"
Despite her shock,
Hope bloomed in her heart.
Because she didn't want to die.
She hadn't yet done the things she wanted to do with Chen Nan.
Du Huang sighed softly. "There is a method, but no one can refine the Life-Creating Pill."
"Although refining the Life-Creating Pill only requires three medicinal ingredients,"
"All three ingredients are extremely rare, needing tens of thousands of years."
"The Ten Thousand Year Shore Flower and the Ten Thousand Year Coiled Dragon Ginseng are already very scarce."
"Even if these two ingredients are found,"
"It is not certain that the main ingredient, the Ten Thousand Year Nai River Fish, can be found."
"The Ten Thousand Year Nai River Fish is comparable to a peak Form Transformation realm existence."
"Especially in the Nai River, even an expert in the Soul Devouring realm is no match for it."
*Pfft!*
Du Yuan couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, her eyes filled with terror. "If Chen Nan were to refine the Life-Creating Pill for me, wouldn't that mean he would be in mortal danger?"
