Chapter 98 (1/2)

Chapter 98 – I’ll make you ready, I’ll make you fly![1]

This little girl planned each step so meticulously that it could be considered flawless. Unexpectedly, she even managed to lure him to unwittingly take the bait she tossed out.

This time, Emperor Le Xuan truly could not say anything anymore. He could not resist sizing up Ning Xuemo.

A little girl knelt in front of him with her head slightly lowered as she looked at him. Her black pupils perfectly contrasted with the white of her eyes giving off an impression of perfection, innocence, and simplicity, but her attitude was neither humble nor overbearing.

This caused Emperor Le Xuan to immediately feel that this girl was definitely not simple!

Marquis Ning was a hot-blooded man who highly valued loyalty. His straightforward personality always ensured that every matter was conducted in an honourable fashion. Even his wife was a gentle and virtuous lady from humble origins, who upheld the ideals of a wife and mother never scheming. It was really out of everyone’s expectations that they would give birth to such an oddity, whose schemes ran so deep: a true black-bellied[2] little girl…

If you simply looked at this girl, you would get the impression that she was pure like a puddle of clear water, with easily discernible depths. However, upon closer inspection, she would appear to be like a deep lake whose waters seemed shallow, but in actuality held unfathomable depths…

This girl was a contradictory existence. At the same time, she also seemed like a small light amidst the darkness, inadvertently drawing people’s attention.

He could not help glaring at Ji Yunhao. ‘Was this little brat blind?!’

‘He actually let go of such an excellent girl and stubbornly chased after that brainless Hu Diechang…’

Emperor Le Xuan spoke in a deep voice, “You could actually heal Tu Yidao’s legs? Your medical skills then should be rather high. Knowing so many strange things, I wonder who your teacher is?”

Ning Xuemo answered very smoothly, “No one taught me. It was bestowed on me by the Heavens.”

“Bestowed by the Heavens?” Emperor Le Xuan clearly did not believe her. “How did this ‘bestowal’ come about?”

Ning Xuemo replied in a tone filled with certainty, “It should be that the Heavens pitied me, so an immortal was dispatched in my dreams to bestow these medical arts onto me, allowing me to make a turnaround.”

“What did this immortal in your dream look like?”
