Leng Yinyin's heart was filled with immense shock.
It took a long time for her to calm down.
To say Chen Nan didn't need a belt was an exaggeration.
But for a woman.
It was absolutely enough to stomach.
It was simply terrifying.
No wonder her sister said Chen Nan mistreated her.
Who wouldn't.
Probably find it hard to bear?
But.
Could this be considered mistreatment?
This was clearly painful happiness!
Hmm.
Her sister was clearly in bliss but didn't know it.
------
Chen Nan didn't know how long he had been unconscious.
When he opened his eyes.
He saw a graceful figure with her back to him, sitting at a table.
She seemed to be engrossed in flipping through a book.
"Sister, why are you here?"
Chen Nan recognized Du Yuan and, with some effort, propped himself up.
*Swish!*
Du Yuan instinctively put away the book in her hand, her heart pounding like a startled deer, her face flushed like a peach blossom.
She was breathtakingly beautiful.
Naturally.
The book she was reading was Chen Nan's "Bai Yu."
She was so absorbed, and then suddenly interrupted, how could she not be nervous?
She composed herself, turned to look at Chen Nan, her eyes filled with joy: "You scoundrel, you're finally awake!"
"Do you feel unwell anywhere?" As she spoke, she reached out to touch Chen Nan's forehead.
Perhaps the temperature of her hand wasn't obvious enough.
She even lowered her head and used her eyelids to test the temperature of Chen Nan's forehead.
The scene was somewhat ambiguous.
However.
She wasn't doing it intentionally.
Because in the days Chen Nan was unconscious, he had a high fever.
It was she who stayed by Chen Nan's side, taking care of him and using warm water to wipe his body to cool him down.
"Sister, I feel fine now." Chen Nan was a little embarrassed because he realized he was naked.
Although he didn't understand why.
It was clear that Du Yuan might have seen him.
"Here, this is a set of clothes my sister sewed for you herself. It should fit." Du Yuan took out a brand new white robe. The material of the clothes was fine silk, which was very valuable.
"Thank you, sister. But... could you please go out, or turn around?" Chen Nan was so embarrassed he wished he could disappear into the ground.
With Du Yuan watching, he really couldn't bring himself to try on the clothes.
Du Yuan blushed and immediately turned her back to Chen Nan, thinking to herself.
It's not like I haven't seen it before.
Is there a need to be so demure?
Of course.
Some things can't be said, as long as you know it yourself.
Then Chen Nan put on the clothes Du Yuan had sewn for him.
And indeed.
They fit perfectly.
Much better than those from the tailors on the street.
Chen Nan smiled outwardly.
But inwardly, he was cursing.
How well do you know my measurements to make such a perfectly fitting outfit?
Did you do anything improper while I was unconscious?
"Thank you for the clothes, sister. They fit very well." Chen Nan expressed his gratitude and quickly changed the subject: "Since sister is back, I presume the new river channel has already been dug?"
He looked out the window as he said this.
The rainy season was over.
The weather had cleared up.
Du Yuan said: "Heaven protected Tongcheng. An hour before the floodgates of Guangling Prefecture were opened, millions of people dug through the new river channel and successfully evacuated." She sighed as she said this.
To dig the new river channel, millions of people in Tongcheng worked tirelessly.
Even though they dug out the new river channel.
Thousands of people died of exhaustion.
The injured were even more numerous.
However.
Tongcheng avoided disaster.
This could be considered a great victory.
"I heard about you killing the water monster. This is a great merit."
"But."
"Do not display your abilities in front of outsiders."
She didn't know how Chen Nan transferred his attacks to others, but if this was spread.
It would surely bring immense trouble.
Chen Nan said solemnly: "Thank you for your sister's advice. Your brother will keep it in mind."
Du Yuan smiled: "I am relieved that you are awake."
"However, there are still many things to be handled at Hundred Flowers Valley."
"We brothers and sisters will have to part ways." A hint of sadness appeared on her face as she said this.
She didn't want to leave.
She wanted to stay in Tongcheng for a while.
But as the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley.
She had no choice.
Chen Nan was overjoyed.
Although Du Yuan was a beautiful woman.
And held a high position.
However.
He was truly afraid that he would be a scoundrel to her.
After all, he was just a passerby in the underworld.
He couldn't afford to be romantically involved everywhere.
If she left, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Du Yuan keenly sensed Chen Nan's emotional change and pouted, looking unhappy: "Why do you look so happy, little brother?"
"Don't you wish I would leave?"
Wow!
What amazing insight.
She actually detected my inner joy!
Even so.
Chen Nan was not flustered at all.
Having seen so much of the world, he wouldn't lose his composure in front of a woman.
He shook his head and sighed: "Of course, I don't want you to leave, sister. After all, we hit it off immediately. Although we have no blood relation."
"We seem like siblings who haven't seen each other for years, and there are always endless things to talk about."
"I also want to ask you for advice on cultivation, so how can I bear to see you leave?"
"But I also know that you are the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley."
"You are the leader of the disciples of Hundred Flowers Valley."
"You bear the glory and disgrace of Hundred Flowers Valley!"
"If you weren't forced, how could you be so unwilling to leave?"
"As for my smile just now..."
"It's admiration for you!"
"Even as the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley, you can lead by example and care for your disciples."
"I am proud to have a sister like you."
Du Yuan's eyes were filled with emotion.
She suddenly felt like she had met Chen Nan too late.
Chen Nan was truly her confidant.
She really wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with him all night.
Thinking of this, a blush crept onto Du Yuan's face. She blushed, looking shy, and said in a voice like a mosquito's whisper: "If you don't want me to leave, little brother, I can let Yin Yin go back first."
"She is my disciple after all, and has great prestige in the valley."
"She can help me handle things in the valley."
This completely stumped Chen Nan.
Oh my god.
Could this woman be a love-struck fool?
If that's the case.
Things would get a little troublesome.
Without further thought, he said: "Sister, you absolutely cannot do this!"
"Although I also want to spend more time with you, sister."
"But I don't want you to change your principles for me."
"This would make me feel like a sinner!"
"If you insist on doing so, then your brother and I will have to go our separate ways."
Du Yuan's beautiful eyes showed emotion: "Are you truly so heartless, that you would sever our sibling bond to avoid changing my principles?"
Chen Nan nodded solemnly, his gaze firm: "Sister, you are a goddess in this world, breathtakingly beautiful. No one in this world can make you change for them."
A few simple words.
Like a gentle knife.
Unexpectedly pierced Du Yuan's heart.
Completely disrupting her calm heart.
She blushed, mustered her courage, and said: "Little brother, I have a small request before I leave."
Chen Nan: "What is it?"
