Chapter 115 - Back To Their Daily Life (1/2)
After the matriarch's episode, Yao Ling went back to her poison research. No matter how many times Yao Ying tried to entice him doing intimate things, Yao Ling just ignored him. For her, it was more important to know about the poison and ensure Yao Ying's health. They have the rest of their lives to enjoy doing intimate things.
Yao Ying pouted when he saw Yao Ling busy all the time, even though he knew how important it was. ”Are you sure you don't want to do it?”
Yao Ling rolled her eyes in annoyance. This was the twentieth times he asked the same question! Yao Ling finally answered him, ”Yes, I'm sure. If you have the urge to satisfy yourself, you can do it by yourself. Use your own hands!”
”Tsk... tsk... I never know that you are so cruel!”
”Not cruel, just stating a fact,” Yao Ling grinned.
”Ling-er, tomorrow I have to go for a little while.”
”Go where?” Yao Ling furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. ”I already told you that you have to rest!”
”I won't put a strain on my body. I just want to go to Lin Fu to meet my new master. I don't think it's polite to not pay my respect to him, after all, he already received me as his disciple,” Yao Ying explained.
”Did Lin Jian tell you something?”
”Yes, the master usually never stays long at one place, so it's probably better for me to meet him as soon as possible and also before he changes his mind. It seems like this old man has a weird character,” Yao Ying told her the truth. Lin Jian indeed had his servant to give him this news and Yao Ying also felt that his headache had already stopped, so it was the proper time for him to greet the old master.
Yao Ling sighed but she knew that she couldn't hold him back. ”You are not a little kid, so I also can't stop you to go. But please think about your body! When you feel tired or your headache acts up again, you should go home and find me, okay? Don't do the morning drill! You can exercise for a little bit, so don't go all out!”
Yao Ying kissed Yao Ling's lips and agreed to her condition. He knew how worried Yao Ling was and he would behave at Lin Fu. He looked at what Yao Ling did and asked, ”Do you find out something from the poison residue?”
”I think this slow-acting poison isn't that harmful as long as you get the antidote. It's similar to gu poison but less potent. However, Mei Li gu niang cleverly adapted the gu poison. She's able to make antidotes that have two different purposes--- one antidote to fully cure the person and one half-antidote to control people. She is a genius and the master behind her is more genius. I bet he's the one who asked Mei Li gu niang to make such a poison,” Yao Ling explained.
”Why do you reach such a conclusion?” Yao Ying asked curiously.
”Judging from your story, she is loyal to the master, right? She only gives him/her the full antidote. He/she could get her trust and he/she is also able to control a poison master to such extent is really an amazing person,” Yao Ling explained her point of view and it made sense.
”Do you find out about the ingredients?”
Yao Ling shook her head. ”Not fully. There are some ingredients that I don't know, so it will take a little bit of time for me to understand this poison clearly.”
Yao Ying nodded in understanding. ”Thank you for your hard work.”
”We are husband and wife. There's no need for us to be so formal, besides... you also do a lot of things for me,” Yao Ling said shyly.
”Do I?” Yao Ying asked her, grinning.
”Yes.”
”For example?”
”You granted my silly wish,” Yao Ling admitted in a soft voice.
”Really? Which one?” Yao Ying furrowed his eyebrows, thinking in confusion. What kind of silly wish that he had granted?
”Marrying me,” Yao Ling smiled softly.
”Oh that... Silly! It's not a silly wish. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't marry you even if you forced me.” Yao Ying flicked her forehead and said, ”Don't think too much! We made the decision of getting married together, so you don't owe me anything. Remember it, okay?”
Yao Ling blushed after listening to what he had said. It made her heart beat faster. Is it love? She doesn't know but she certainly won't regret it if she indeed falls in love with him.
