Chapter 486: Chapter 486 Tender Feelings (2)_1

Upon recalling that even the Red Python’s Gallbladder was found with her help, a preposterous idea abruptly surged in Xiao Ruiyuan’s heart: she had found two of the three main ingredients, so could it be that in the end, she would also find the remaining Thousand-year Ginseng?

Seeing his silent contemplation, Mo Yan felt a little apprehensive. Her explanations were not entirely fabricated; as long as he did not plan to personally check the cliff, he wouldn’t discover her lie. She didn’t want to reveal the secret of Space to her father, younger siblings, or him, not out of distrust, but because carrying a secret was in no way pleasant, and suffering it alone was enough.

Xiao Ruiyuan snapped back from his preposterous thoughts and didn’t suspect Mo Yan’s words. He only felt that ever since the bird had been in contact with her, it became too smart to be a bird, for ordinary birds definitely don’t know that Black Lingzhi can detoxify and save lives.

Putting aside these distracting thoughts, he began to explain the effects of Black Lingzhi to Mo Yan.

Black Lingzhi was a divine antidote, capable of neutralizing nearly all the exotic poisons in the world; it could treat heart diseases and strokes, consuming it could enhance one’s physical strength and prolong life; in critical moments, it could even save lives, its efficacy surpassing that of Thousand-year Ginseng... In short, Black Lingzhi was extremely rare and precious, which is why it had vanished for five hundred years.

The potent effects of Black Lingzhi excited Mo Yan greatly, and she was immensely thankful that she had followed Dabai’s guidance to transplant it into Space. At least, it added an extra layer of protection for her and her family’s lives.

Seeing her happiness, a smile unconsciously curved on Xiao Ruiyuan’s handsome face. Thinking of what he had to say next, he couldn’t help but frown, unsure of how to begin.

Upon noticing his look, Mo Yan pondered for a moment then realized what troubled him and took the initiative to say, "Bro Xiao, the Crown Prince’s poisoning can’t be delayed any longer. I have no way to obtain Thousand-year Ginseng, but I can provide some Black Lingzhi."

Bro Xiao and the Crown Prince were one and the same—only if the Crown Prince was well could he be too. Should anything happen to the Crown Prince, even if those Princes vying for his position wouldn’t harm him, given his disposition, he would never compromise with those who tried to bring him to demise.

If it really came to that, no matter who ended up in that position, his fate wouldn’t be any better. Since she had accepted his feelings, she couldn’t help but plan for their future.

Xiao Ruiyuan naturally wanted to obtain Black Lingzhi and find Thousand-year Ginseng to cure the Crown Prince as soon as possible. Mo Yan took the initiative to mention it, willing to offer such valuable Black Lingzhi to save a Crown Prince unrelated to her, it was very clear she was considering it for him.

"Yanyan..." Xiao Ruiyuan extended his hand and tightly embraced the person before him, wishing to meld her deeply into his bones, never to part.

...

The fresher the Black Lingzhi, the better its effect. Xiao Ruiyuan planned to retrieve Black Lingzhi after finding the Thousand-year Ginseng, to which Mo Yan, of course, had no objections.

Thinking of the Crown Prince’s suffering for over twenty years, Mo Yan felt deep sympathy for him, and couldn’t resist criticising, "If only The Emperor could be more faithful. If there were only the Empress Dowager in the harem, then she wouldn’t have been plotted against by a Concubine during childbirth. The Crown Prince would have grown up healthy, with no ambition-driven brothers trying to usurp his place, sparing you the need for constant vigilance! In the end, it’s all The Emperor’s fault."

"Yanyan, be careful with your words!" Xiao Ruiyuan helplessly squeezed her hand, unable to stop reprimanding her. This girl was too bold, even daring to gossip about The Emperor. Thankfully they were alone—if these words got out, they would undoubtedly bring disaster.

Mo Yan truly felt injustice for the Empress Dowager. At that moment, being stopped by the man she liked, as if he disagreed with her view, she glaringly retorted, "Did I say something wrong? Or are you thinking of reaping the benefits of a shared fortune yourself?"

Xiao Ruiyuan didn’t expect a few more words would attract trouble. However, looking at the lively and charming woman in his arms, a chord in his heart seemed to quiver gently, making it beat uncontrollably, and his strong arms instinctively tightened: "Yanyan, trust me."

Mo Yan leaned against his chest, occasionally tugging at a lock of his hair that hung in front of his chest, and with downcast eyes, she spoke softly, "I do trust you, but you will change, I will change too, and we can’t predict what will happen in the future... No matter what, I always hope we can keep being well together, even if... even if..."

At this point, she suddenly couldn’t continue speaking and threw her slender arms tightly around the man’s waist. Even if they couldn’t be well, she still hoped he would find his own happiness.

"Yanyan... Yanyan... we will be fine, we will always be fine..."

Xiao Ruiyuan gently stroked the woman’s long black hair reaching her waist and kept murmuring in her ear, hoping to give her some confidence, to bolster her belief in their future. As long as they worked together, they could definitely get the lifetime they desired!

By now, it was very late, and it was past Zi Hour. Amid the deep and pleasant murmuring, Mo Yan’s gaze gradually became blurry with sleepiness, and soon she fell into a deep, sweet sleep.

Xiao Ruiyuan dared not move a muscle. Only after she was deep asleep did he carefully adjust their position to let her sleep more comfortably. Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, he slightly curved his lips, his heart softening completely.

When Mo Yan woke up, it was the first streaks of dawn. She sleepily opened her eyes and found herself lying on the bed. However, Mao Tuan, who always clung to her and insisted on sleeping with her every night, was now nowhere to be seen.

At this time, Mo Yan was unaware that after the first crow of the rooster the previous night, Xiao Ruiyuan had no choice but to place her on the bed. However, when he was about to leave, he saw Mao Tuan skillfully leap onto the bed and snuggle tightly beside her, its fluffy tiger paws naturally resting on her waist.

Xiao Ruiyuan’s face was always unfriendly to others, but he treated Mo Yan with extreme tenderness. Yet, underneath that tenderness was a man’s innate dominance and possessiveness—how could he allow a wild beast to brazenly embrace his beloved woman in sleep? He didn’t even have that privilege yet!

Thus, Mao Tuan was tragically ousted by Xiao Ruiyuan, who coerced it out of the room both softly and sternly. The pitiable creature ended up squeezing in with Little Flower for a night’s rest! And from that night on, it held a grudge against Xiao Ruiyuan, starting its tigerish contest of wit and will against him...
