C12 (1/2)

Zhang Qingyun slightly opened his eyes. In the center of the room, there was a square table made of pear wood. The exquisite decorations of the carved flowers were not ordinary, and on the top of the bed was a brocade bed. Below the table was a soft wooden bed. The bronze mirror was set on the wooden dresser, and the room was clean and comfortable.

The speckles of sunlight shone in through the window. It was a beautiful scene outside. There were fake mountains, small ponds, green lotus roots, and pink water lilies. A young master could be seen passing by the ponds with full footsteps.

The door creaked open. The young girl gracefully walked to the bed with a rustling sound and said gently, ”You're awake.” The voice was like an oriole, beautiful and pleasant to listen to.

Zhang Qingyun muttered, ”Where is this? Is it in the fairyland?”

The girl smiled and said, ”What immortal mirror? This is my room.”

Zhang Qingyun raised his head to look at the young girl. She was around sixteen to seventeen years old, with green willow leaves scattered on her shoulders, and her flower-like oval face was sparkling and translucent like jade. Her cherry lips were slightly opened, and her cheeks were snow-white without makeup.

The girl smiled slightly and said, ”Why are you so unreasonable as to stare at me?”

Zhang Qingyun felt that he had lost his composure and hurriedly looked away. He wanted to sit up but found that he could not move, ”What's wrong with me?”

The young girl's slender fingers brought out a porcelain bowl. His fingers were as thin as grease, and he said softly, ”You have been poisoned, so I took a few dozen of your acupoints.” To prevent the strange poison from attacking your heart, and to prevent it from being exhausted right now, it would be inappropriate to walk around. First, drink this bowl of porridge and get a good night's sleep. ” He raised his arm slightly and brought the spoon to his mouth.

As the spoon touched his lips, Zhang Qingyun felt a chill down his spine. He said, ”What kind of porridge is this? Why is it so cold?”

The young girl said, ”This congee was brewed meticulously by me. There are a few rare and strange medicines inside, and it's not easy to obtain. Drinking it will help you get rid of the poison in your body.”

When the porridge entered his mouth, it was incomparably cold, but it was also extremely refreshing. It was slightly bitter, and could still be considered tasty, and while eating, his eyelids felt heavy for some reason, as if they weighed a thousand pounds. He could not open them, and forced himself to finish drinking with great effort.

When he fell asleep again, he saw that the white morning mist outside the window was like a cloud of smoke, and the air was slightly chilly, as if it had just been raining heavily. Feeling that his hands and feet could move, he got off the bed, walked to the window, and gently opened the window.

The young girl passed through a crescent moon door and walked in. She held a teacup in her hand and placed it on top of Pear Wood's square table. She said, ”Did you sleep well last night? Why did you wake up so early? Not much.”

Zhang Qingyun said, ”Sorry about last night, I fell asleep while eating.”

The girl faintly smiled and said, ”It's alright. It can't be blamed on you because I added some medicine to calm the mind, making people feel especially sleepy.”

Zhang Qingyun said, ”So that's how it is.”

The girl said, ”You must be hungry. Come over and eat some breakfast.”

Zhang Qingyun nodded and walked over. On the table, there was a plate of Peach Cream, a plate of green bean cake and a pot of tea. He took a piece of peach pastry and put it in his mouth. The peach pastry was extremely crispy. It was oily but not greasy, and it was tender and refreshing.

The girl's eyes were filled with curiosity as she asked, ”Is it delicious? I made it myself this morning.”

Zhang Qingyun smiled, ”I am so lucky to be able to eat such delicious food.”

The girl said, ”Really? Eat more.” With a smile on his face, he was in high spirits.

Zhang Qingyun ate a few more peach blossoms, and said, ”Thank you for saving me, Miss. Qing Yun is grateful. ”

The young lady said, ”At that time, I was just passing by to help. How could I dare to ask for Young Master Qing Yun's gratitude?”

Zhang Qingyun said, ”I've been afflicted with a strange poison, thank you for detoxifying me. I wonder what method you used to be able to make me recover in such a short period of time.”

The young girl covered her face as she laughed, ”Young Master, this is actually not difficult, but I don't know what kind of poison it is, but it took you a lot of effort.” She turned around and carried a burst of fragrance with her as she walked out the door, saying, ”Young Master Qing Yun, come with me.” She then walked to the corridor, and between the rock walls, a stream of essence water came out and hit the nearby lotus leaves.

Zhang Qingyun said, ”What a beautiful fish. Where did you get these? Why haven't I seen them before?”

The young girl said, ”Don't underestimate these fish. They are the ones who cured you of the poison in your body.”

Zhang Qingyun said, ”Fish can also detoxify poisons, they are swimming around in the water so they are very cute. I didn't expect them to be even cuter, they can even detoxify poisons.”

The girl said, ”This is not an ordinary fish, this is something Master obtained from the distant Western Regions. Every day, he uses 100 types of herbs, which is why the fish have the effect of detoxifying the poison.”

Zhang Qingyun said, ”Wouldn't that be very precious?”

The young girl said, ”It is indeed a little precious, but no matter how precious it is, it is not as precious as someone's life.”

Zhang Qingyun said, ”I've been bothering you for so long, but I haven't asked for your name yet.”

The young girl said, ”My name is Miao Ruofei. Master will call me Fei'er. You can also call me Fei.”

Zhang Qingyun said, ”My name is Zhang Qingyun, how would Qingyun Peak dare to call me that? I will never forget Miss Miao's kindness. However, I have a friend who is trapped in a fire cave. I must take my leave.”

The young girl faintly said, ”The person you want to save is that Tingting girl.”

Zhang Qingyun's complexion turned red. However, he soon returned to his normal state and said, ”Miss Miao, how did you know about this?”

Miao Rufei said, ”In your dreams, even if you didn't call her a thousand times, there would have been at least eight hundred times. That Tingting girl must be a beauty that you can't forget. She must be your soulmate.”

Zhang Qingyun couldn't help blushing. He hurriedly said, ”No, we are just ordinary friends.”

The young girl faintly smiled and said, ”It doesn't matter if you're a soulmate or an ordinary friend, why do you need to explain it to me?”

Zhang Qingyun did not know what to say, because he truly did not know what to say, and did not know what to say, so he could only leave. Walking to the Crescent Gate, he saw a sea of flowers, but he had never seen so many flowers in his life before. The entire area was filled with beautiful flowers. The fragrance was intoxicating. With a gentle breeze blowing, the flowers swayed in the wind. It was as if there were many fairies dancing around. It was truly a sight to behold. There was a small cobblestone path in the middle, which went straight through an iron gate. It was very comfortable walking on the road.

Miao Rufei said, ”Young Master Qing Yun, don't go.”

Zhang Qingyun turned around and said, ”The flowers here are so beautiful.”

Miao Rufei said, ”Young master can admire the flowers, but don't go near the iron gate.”

Zhang Qingyun said, ”Why? Is there a man-eating beast there?”

Miao Rufei smiled faintly and said, ”That's not the case. Master had instructed that no one is allowed to get close to that metal fence.”

Zhang Qingyun said, ”So that's how it is. I won't be going then.”

Miao Rufei said, ”Thank you for your understanding, young master. Why don't you leave after lunch? It's rare for people to come here. Young master can accompany Ruo Fei for the whole morning as a form of repayment for saving her life.”

Zhang Qingyun said, ”With how enthusiastic Miss Miao is, it would be better for you to listen.”

Miao Rufei said, ”Young master can call that lady Tingting, but why can't you call her Ruo Fei? Could it be that Ruo Fei is Young Master's friend?”
