"Actually, taking this Hundred Poisons Pill won't kill you. After all, it's just a pill refined from one hundred types of poisonous insects."
"However."
"After taking it, you'll suffer from unbearable pain all over your body, making life worse than death. Only by coming to me for medicine every day can you survive."
"You can think carefully now whether you want to stay here!"
Nangong Wan's tone was calm, as if she were talking about a trivial matter.
Chen Nan took the pill from her hand and swallowed it directly.
Nangong Wan suddenly sat up, her ample chest shaking violently, drawing an abnormal amount of attention.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with shock: "You actually dared to take the Hundred Poisons Pill?"
Chen Nan's eyes were firm: "It is the fortune I cultivated in my previous life to be able to follow the Young Miss in this life."
"Let alone enduring the torment of a hundred insects scratching my heart, I would not regret even death and spiritual annihilation!"
"I only wish to be buried in the bamboo forest after death!"
"May sacred flowers bloom where I am buried!"
"To bring joy to the Young Miss!"
Simple, direct words that pierced straight into Nangong Wan's deepest heart.
In all her years, this was the first time someone had said such a thing to her!
It stirred ripples in her calm heart!
At this moment.
She suddenly felt ashamed for doing such a thing to test a disciple.
Without further thought, she took out a white pill: "Quick, quickly take the antidote!"
"Is the Young Miss doubting my resolve?" Chen Nan's face contorted, feeling the medicinal effects taking hold and ravaging his body.
However, it was still within his tolerance.
"Every word I said just now was true, from the bottom of my heart."
"If I take your antidote now, wouldn't that mean my words were just to please the Young Miss?"
"I am willing to go through fire and water for the Young Miss, but I implore the Young Miss to respect me!"
"I..."
Nangong Wan's eyes were filled with emotion.
She never expected Chen Nan's will to be so firm!
She never expected him to be so devoted to her!
Thinking of this, she said: "What if I insist on you taking this pill?"
Chen Nan bowed: "If the Young Miss truly insists, I naturally would not dare to disobey."
Nangong Wan revealed a gentle, charming smile: "I have already seen your resolve. Take it quickly, and from now on, you will stay by my side and be my medicine boy."
"Of course, I won't treat you unfairly. I will teach you the art of alchemy!"
"Yes!"
Chen Nan took the antidote and swallowed it on the spot.
He had no choice!
Although the Hundred Poisons Pill was a poison, he had the cultivation of the fifth level of Qi Refining.
He could withstand this much pain.
But if he showed any weakness, wouldn't his identity be exposed?
After taking the Hundred Poisons Pill, the sharp pain in his abdomen vanished instantly.
Nangong Wan walked to the cabinet, took out a bottle of pills, and said: "Here are some Qi Refining Pills. Take them first. At least reach the Qi Refining stage, so you can help me!"
"Thank you, Young Miss, for your reward!" Chen Nan was overjoyed and took her medicine bottle with both hands.
It had to be said, although this woman was capricious and overbearing.
If she could be subdued, she was quite generous.
Just then.
A disciple from Huoyun Cave delivered a delicious meal.
Nangong Wan said to the Huoyun Cave disciple: "Our Alchemy Hall has gained a new disciple. From now on, prepare meals for two people in the kitchen. Wait, men eat more. Send meals for three people!"
"Yes, and send meals for two people later!"
"Yes!"
The kitchen disciple was shocked.
Someone actually became a disciple of the Alchemy Hall?
Moreover, the Young Miss was so thoughtful, even preparing an extra meal for him!
This was big news!
Without further thought, the kitchen disciple quickly left the back mountain.
In just fifteen minutes, he returned with meals for two people.
"Eat first. There's no rush for cultivation," Nangong Wan said. "As long as your talent isn't too poor, I will surely make you a strong figure among the younger generation of Huoyun Cave!"
"Yes!"
Chen Nan, with a respectful expression, followed Nangong Wan into the bamboo forest, where tables and chairs were set up in an elegant and refined environment.
"I don't know what you like to eat," Nangong Wan said softly while eating the delicacies from the mountains. "If today's meal doesn't suit your taste, just go to the kitchen and tell them your preferences, and they will prepare meals for you."
Chen Nan involuntarily said: "Being able to share dinner with the Young Miss makes even withered wood and white wax better than delicacies from mountains and seas."
As soon as he said this.
A blush instantly rose on Nangong Wan's delicate face. She said with feigned anger: "Are you teasing me?"
Chen Nan quickly stood up and bowed: "Young Miss, your disciple has sinned. Please punish me!"
Nangong Wan's lips curved upward: "What crime have you committed?"
Chen Nan said nervously: "Your disciple's disposition is too poor, and I cannot control my heart, thus my words have offended the Young Miss."
Nangong Wan rested her chin on her hand and smiled: "Am I that outstanding in your heart?"
Chen Nan looked at the bright moon overhead, his eyes sincere: "In my disciple's heart, the Young Miss is like the moon in the night sky, attainable but unreachable."
"But your radiance has warmed this disciple and illuminated my dark life!"
Nangong Wan was overjoyed: "So I am the moon in your heart!"
"However."
"The moon has its waxing and waning."
"By describing me as the moon, aren't you saying I have many flaws?"
Saying this, she revealed a meaningful smile.
She very much wanted to know how Chen Nan would smooth this over.
Chen Nan said: "As the saying goes, people have their joys and sorrows, and the moon has its waxing and waning. It is precisely because of this that people have endowed the moon with meanings of beauty and reunion."
"Moreover, I don't think it's a bad thing for a person to have flaws!"
"No one is perfect, and neither is the Young Miss!"
"If I said you were flawless, then I would definitely be lying and deceiving you!"
"Because such a person simply does not exist in this world!"
Nangong Wan's smile remained unchanged: "Then tell me, what are my flaws?"
"Ahem!" Chen Nan coughed lightly: "Your disciple has been by the Young Miss's side for a short time and does not know the Young Miss's flaws. However, from what I have seen today, the Young Miss is too exceptionally beautiful, which can be considered a flaw!"
Nangong Wan was puzzled: "What do you mean by that?"
"You are so beautiful that it is almost suffocating. Fortunately, you cultivate in the mountains. Otherwise, women in the mortal world would be ashamed of themselves upon seeing you, would fall into despair, and would end their lives!"
"At that time, wouldn't you become a sinner in the world?" Chen Nan spoke nonsense with a serious face.
Nangong Wan's face turned red. She liked Chen Nan's flattery, which made her heart flutter.
After all.
She came from a noble background, and no one had dared to be so presumptuous in front of her.
Chen Nan was like an elegant rogue who had broken into her heart.
Her eyes smiled: "If one day I become a sinner in the world, will you be willing to oppose the world with me?"
