Feng Ru Yan shook her head, then said weakly, “It’s precisely because she doesn’t know, that we can get along this way.”

Many looked at her, and both respected and feared her because of her status. However, few ever truly cared about her.

“Your Honor, does she truly not know about your identity?” Jun Can said rather anxiously, “I’ve heard Feng Jiao say that she is someone special to you, however, I don’t know whether or not it is intentionally so.”

“Pfft-” Feng Ru Yan suddenly burst out laughing.

She had initially wondered why Sima You Yue was so good to her. She had actually said with a blushing face, that she didn’t want to see such a beautiful person perish like perfume. She even said that the aura she released felt good, so she could not help but want to draw close.

“Could it be because of Your Honor’s cultivation art?” Jun Cang guessed when he heard what Feng Ru Yan said.

“Although my cultivation art gives people the desire to draw close, that’s merely the initial stage. After drawing close, it becomes reverence.” Feng Ru Yan said with a tint of loneliness.

It was lonely at the top. Only those who stood there would understand.

After some moments, she said, “However, her soul does cause one to feel intimate with her. However, for whatever reason, It’s been concealed. If it were not because I was more sensitive, I wouldn’t have known.”

If Sima You Yue were here, she would definitely be shocked. In the beginning, her soul did cause others to want to draw close to her because of her contract with the spirit pagoda. However, after rising to the divine rank, her soul aura had also undergone a change. It suppressed the feeling of intimacy one would feel. Who would have thought that Feng Ru Yan would actually be able to sense that.

However, it also happened that their two souls had a draw to each other. That was why they found each other pleasing to look at. However, that was a little less obvious now.

Jun Cang saw that Feng Ru Yan was rather interested towards Sima You Yue and said, “Although I don’t really understand this person well, Dear Lan’s assessment of her isn’t bad. Furthermore, she is so knowledgeable about medicine at such a young age, which is a rare talent. If…”

Feng Ru Yan lifted a hand to cut him off.

“Since I like that kid, I have no plans to force her. I will make my own decision for that situation.”

“Yes, Your Honor.”

“Alright, you can head down first.”

“Yes.”

Jun Cang left and Feng Ru Yan drank a sip of the fruit juice that Sima You Yue left behind, then closed her eyes to rest.

Sima You Yue went back and rest for an entire night. She came to look for Feng Ru Yan on the morning of the second day.

This time, Feng Ru Yan was not in the pavilion. She was in the house. She was currently talking to Feng Jiao about something. When she left, Feng Jiao was given the order to go out.

“Aunt Feng, it’s time for your second acupuncture.” She said to Feng Ru Yan when she entered.

Feng Ru Yan waved her hand and the two white clothed ladies who were initially in the house, retreated. Only a lady called Feng Qing remained.

Feng Qing took off Feng Ru Yan’s clothes, leaving behind only her undergarments. A perfectly sculpted naked back appeared in front of Sima You Yue.

When Sima You Yue saw it, she could not help but imagine what would happen if a male saw this.

This night was not like yesterday night, where she had to administer acupuncture on her whole body. This time, she merely had to place needles on two acupoints on her back and head.

When that was done, she took out a milky white pill and got her to eat it. When Feng Ru Yan ate it, she could sense that this was no ordinary pill. Her soul that had always felt rather weary was suddenly filled with a soothing feeling that she had not felt in a long time. It was like a spring wind, soft and supple.

“What medicine is this?” She asked rather curiously.

How long had it been since she was actually curious about something?

“This isn’t really medicine. This is a kind of pill that I created after using some ingredients that are rather useful for the soul.” Sima You Yue said.

Feng Ru Yan lifted her eyebrows in shock. She was being used as a guinea pig?

When she saw Feng Ru Yan’s expression, she explained, “Aunt Feng isn’t the first one to eat this, don’t worry. There won’t be any problems.”

Feng Run Yan smiled, “I know.”

“Ss ss-”

A little guy was awoken from his sleep when he smiled the fragrance of the pill. He just had to eat the pill.

Feng Ru Yan only now noticed the little golden snake and said with shock, “Immemorial Golden Snake?”

“Ss ss-” The little guy glared at Feng Ru Yan while sticking out its snake tongue

“Aunt Feng, do you know the origins of this guy?” Sima You Yue was afraid that it would charge over and attack Feng Ru Yan, so she quickly stretched forth a hand to stop it.

She noticed Feng Ru Yan’s expression and guessed that she should be familiar with it.

Feng Ru Yan didn’t expect that the protective bracelet on Sima You Yue’s wrist would be the ancient golden snake. When it was sleeping, it had completely retracted its aura. Even she didn’t notice it. She looked at the little golden snake again, saying, “I’ve seen it before in an ancient text. However, there was only something about its physical characteristics. There was no description. How did you come to obtain this ancient beast?”

“In the previous auction. After Shameless Third won the bid for the ancient ore, this guy appeared from inside.” Sima You Yue didn’t hide it.

Initially, she thought that Feng Ru Yan would know more about the origins of this guy. Who would have thought that she would only know this much.

“Ancient beast. It’s something that many strong powers are vying for. Next time, it’s best not to let anyone know about it.” Feng Ru Yan advised.

“Okay, I understand.” Sima You You took out a pill and the guy swallowed it immediately. After that, it coiled back on her wrist and continued to sleep.

“Aunt Feng, after two more acupuncture sessions, we should be able to completely suppress your problem.” Sima You Yue said, “During these two months, you definitely cannot use your spirit energy. Otherwise, we would have wasted everything we’ve done. Once the two months are over, you only need to rely on these pills to suppress it. After which, you will need to have these acupunctures once every twenty years. However, this can only delay it for two hundred years. If we are unable to find a cure within these two hundred years, we will really have no way out anymore.”

“Two hundred years…” Feng Ru Yan’s eyes looked to to holding back as her mouth hooked into a faint smile. “To have two hundred years isn’t bad.”

“Aunt, you can relax. I will definitely find a cure for you in two hundred years.” Sima You Yue said.

“I believe you.” Feng Ru Yan said as she took out a box and handed it to her.

Sima You Yue was stunned when she saw the box, “Aunt, didn’t we already agree that you would only give it to me once I’ve completely suppressed your illness?”

“Take it. I believe you. Even if I give it to you now, you will be able to do it well.” Feng Ru Yan said, “The one in the mask in the courtyard nearby is your brother, right?”

“Yes. He was bitten by a poisoned worm before, so his face is covered with scars. That’s why he wears a mask.” Sima You Yue took the box and said, “I’ll have to thank Aunt, then.”

“Go on.” Feng Ru Yan got dressed as she stood up and waved her hand at her.

After obtaining that item, Sima You Yue did indeed want to head back quickly to help Ximen Feng suppress that aura. She immediately left after giving a bow.

The two of them had similar situations, both had things in their bodies that they could not get rid of. However, their strength levels and reasons for it were different. The difference in their situations were like night and day.

“Although they’re both situations where I have to suppress it, the part where I have to treat them is not the same. I hope that, when the time comes, curing them will have similar methods as well.”

She looked at the divine powder in her hand and felt pretty good as she walked towards the house that Ximen Feng was staying in.
