1285 Paths of Nine Pride

ore dark that plump little temptress has arrived”I placed my hand on the doorknob and didn't feel any oppressive ghostly energy. Suddenly, there was a loud "BANG!" from behind the door, which startled...Although Jiang Qiyun seemed pleased with my silly appearance of crying and laughing, he actually reached out to pinch my wrist where I was stung, pressing on the major acupoints to slow the spread of the poison.

My tears and saliva covered him all over. I don't even know when I fell asleep on the palanquin.

As I regained consciousness, a faint scent of medicine hung in the air.

I'm not very used to this smell. I sniffed my nose and opened my eyes hazily.

Suddenly a figure pressed down on me, I felt dizzy and couldn't see clearly. I only felt my nose touch icy skin, followed by a bite on my lips.

"Hiss..." I gasped, my mouth agape.

The one who can bite my lips, effortlessly used the tip of their tongue to lightly trace the corners of my lips.

Such a kiss wasn't unfamiliar. Every time the Emperor was displeased, he would "bite" me like this... This disciplinary kiss truly was agonizing.

Numb, tingling, painful yet passionate and lingering.

He would always bite unexpectedly on such tender places as the corners of her lips and tongue, then immediately soothe them with his cool lips.

Itchily tormented.

I gave up struggling, waiting for Jiang Qiyun to rise with his fill, and only then did I take a deep breath.

"Humph…" Jiang Qiyun raised his hand and wiped the water stain from the corner of my lips, saying with evident pleasure, "You should take a good look, it's whose mouth that was kissed into a puff."

I was still a bit dazed. I couldn't quite process what he said.

The face before him receded slightly.

A pair of eyes, as deep and silent as an abyss, stared at me with a mesmerizing coldness.

His eyes, with golden threads like molten lava flowing silently, lent a touch of decisive and ruthless majesty to his face, which was as pale and serene as a white lotus under the moon.

Under the moon, white lotus...

I blinked. There was no plumpness on this face, no redness from a "beauty's" lipstick...

"You, you actually hold a grudge against someone who's been poisoned..." I whispered, trying to justify myself.

"Before that, shouting at me so loudly, was it also you who was poisoned" Jiang Qiyun's good-looking eyebrows raised slightly.

"...It's been two or three days already, and you still hold a grudge I apologized, didn't I" I wanted to pull the blanket over my head, but as soon as I moved my hand, I realized that my stung left hand had become terribly swollen!

"This seat has always been able to distinguish between good and evil, one stroke at a time, no confusion allowed~," he said with a playful tone as he pulled me out from under the covers.

He probably calmed down already, but he's taking this opportunity to bully me.

I've seen the kind of boredom that comes with being an immortal deity.

A feeble voice muttered softly outside, “Business matters must be clear-headed, but family affairs should be muddled. How can you tell right from wrong in household chores…”

Jiang Qiyun coldly glanced outside——

》》》

The Yin family is a well-known family in the yin and yang circle. They have been practitioners of Taoist medicine for generations.

Taoist thought has always held the idea of "valuing people and cherishing life," focusing on medical transmission, cultivating life and nature, refining the heart and qi, pursuing longevity.

To trace its earliest origins, it probably began with the famous witch doctors of ancient times.

Later, this gradually formed the school of Dao medicine. Throughout history, Daoism has emphasized "transmission," "opportunity," and "comprehension." It doesn't pursue "universal salvation," so Dao medicine is either practiced by aristocratic families or passed down through master-disciple inheritance.

To this day, there aren't many Daoist medical families in the circle. However, in various places, some Taoist practitioners who possess a bit of medical knowledge are often called "hidden doctors" or "alchemists," and their reputation has also been tarnished by many swindling fortune tellers and charlatans.

However, Taoists have always been low-key, just like the Yin family. Such a large family business has been so understated that I hadn't even heard of it before. If it weren't for the marriage between the youngest daughter of the Yin family and the Great Shaman Mu Wanchen, I wouldn't have known that there was such a low-key "giant" wealthy family in the circle.

When it comes to the Yin family's immense wealth, it's not just about their financial resources, but also about the grandeur of their household.

This old house would be perfect for filming period dramas.

And the eldest brother of the Yin family's head, as well as some willful younger daughter Yin Luo, when spending money, were very generous.

In Daoist households, money and wealth seem to be of little use.

It was Yin Luo who had been muttering softly just now.

She peeked outside the screen, looking to see if I had woken up. She didn't dare come in directly and muttered under her breath when she heard Jiang Qiyun speak.

When it comes to people in this world who aren't afraid of Jiang Qiyun, and even have a mischievous urge to "cause trouble," my brother is one of them. After all, he's the eldest brother-in-law.

And there is also Xiao Yinluo.

She was the queen consort of the Great Shaman King. Jiang Qiyun knew that the ancient god shaman had a deep connection with the great celestial deities in the Nine Heavens, so he readily accepted the Great Shaman King as his disciple. Yin Luo was therefore his disciple's wife.

Besides, Xiao Yinluo always smiles sweetly and charmingly. Even when she occasionally has a bit of a temper, those around her are happy to pamper her.

And, of all people, don't offend doctors. As long as you're still a body with yin and yang energies, who hasn't got some three pains or four aches

Jiang Qiyun coldly glared at her, Xiao Yinluo held back a smile and walked in.

She didn't say a word and bowed deeply to Jiang Qiyun: "Master, with your esteemed wife arriving, the Yin family is negligent in our welcome~~ However, we used the best and most expensive medicine to treat your wife's injury. Look, she's recovered so quickly, so... you needn't apologize, right"

The Sovereign frowned and asked, "Where is Mu Wanchen"

"Your apprentice isn't here!" Xia Yinluo pouted. "He went with the elders of Wushi Mountain City to discuss names for the new village, hmph..."

I quickly waved to Xiao Yinluo: “How did you get out of bed!”

"Huh" Xiao Yinluo was taken aback.

"Aren't you supposed to be at home recuperating after childbirth You've only just given birth, and you're already running around" I looked at her in surprise.

This little Yin Luo, where does she look like someone who has given birth

It's only been a month, but she has recovered her figure to look like a girl again, and her mental state is also very good.

"Wow! It's been a month already, of course I can get out of bed and run around!" Xiao Yinluo widened her eyes. "My senior brothers and sisters said they sat for three months of confinement, wouldn't that turn me into a pig!"

It's no wonder so many high-ranking officials and nobles are willing to pay a hefty sum to the Yin family for their health-preserving services.

Jiang Qiyun's focus was different from mine. He asked casually, "What about your children"

Little Yinluo asked with a smile, "Master, are you going to give a full moon gift"rd are 'mental patients'. I'm afraid to go out, I really don't know how you guys live here!" I complained to her as I slurped my noodles.The old woman said faintly, "So, little girl, you should thank...
