Chapter 807 – One Cannot Sleep Well Lodging Amongst the Willows

The Willow Lodge was Hanqiu City's finest inn. It was adjacent to the most beautiful lake within the city and was surrounded by a forest of ancient willows. It was a most beautiful and secluded place in the spring and summer, but in midwinter, when the lake was frozen and the willows were bare, one might feel rather somber and mournful when looking out the window and viewing the scenery under the starlight.
Hanqiu City at night was incredibly tranquil, so quiet it almost seemed like a graveyard. Wang Po was still in the south and had not returned to Tianliang County, but in the view of the Zhu clan, many changes in the world happened very abruptly, catching people somewhat unprepared, just like their current hard-pressed state.
Nanke's voice roused Chen Changsheng from his thoughts. He turned around and sat on the bed.
Nanke took off his shoes and then placed his feet in a basin. Lowering her head, she began to very seriously wash them.
The temperature of the water in the basin was just right: not scalding, but also not so cool that it might start to feel cold after a while. She had probably tested it herself just a few moments ago, just as she had done in those nights at Sloping Cliff Horse Farm.
When Chen Changsheng was unconscious, and also in that period when it was still difficult for him to move, Nanke had been the one that fed and washed him.
He had tried many times to refuse her, but he had failed to convince her each time, just like tonight.
”I've almost completely recovered. Wouldn't it be okay if I do these things myself in the future?”
”Not okay.”
Nanke did not even raise her head.
She currently remembered nothing, only that Chen Changsheng was the most important person in the world to her.
So she should serve him well, ensuring his health and survival so that he could recover as quickly as possible.
Chen Changsheng thought, then very sincerely said, ”I'm not sure… if I can cure your illness.”
”But only you can cure it, right?”
Nanke raised her head and stared into his eyes.
Because the divine soul had broken out of her body, she no longer had that wide space between her eyes, but her eyes were still somewhat dull.
When she focused her gaze on a person or thing, it was truthfully rather frightening.
But Chen Changsheng was already used to it.
After washing him, Nanke very naturally opened the luggage and laid bedding on the floor. She did not sleep, however, but very naturally took off her upper garment and sat down in front of Chen Changsheng.
In the last few nights before they left Sloping Cliff Horse Farm, Chen Changsheng had begun attempting to cure her.
Even as an imbecilic girl, Nanke still vaguely felt that baring her naked body in front of a man was not good.
But she was already used to it.
Chen Changsheng's finger flitted past the stone pearl, his spiritual sense entering the garden to remove his dagger.
Immediately after, he extracted a metal needle from the Vault Sheath.
True essence poured in and the tip of the needle began to vibrate. It then pierced into Nanke's seemingly tender, but actually incredibly sturdy skin, probing into her meridians.
In these past few years, he had cured Luoluo's illness, cured Xuanyuan Po's injuries, and treated Zhexiu for an extended period of time. His ability to detect the smallest details through the true essence he poured into his needle was now far stronger than it had been when he first entered the capital, but he was still not confident that he could cure Nanke's illness.
