Chapter 951: Metamorphosis 25

s Dowager."After a while, Empress Cen felt more comfortable. Feng Lingxi hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, Yao Hua has brought you bird's nest, please eat some to nourish your body. I'll give you another..."I hope it's really as you think, that Empress Cen will let us go."

Feng Ling Xi frowned, "Looks like I still have to cooperate with you and refine several doses of her antidote. Treating them separately is the only way."

"I'll go buy the medicinal herbs tomorrow, take a good rest today. You're tired too."

Feng Lingxi hummed in response. Du Gu Cheng scooped her up from the waist and placed her on the bed, "Get a good sleep, I'll call you for dinner later."

"Are you going out again"

Feng Lingxi held onto Dugu Cheng's hand, feeling a pang of reluctance.

Dugu City's eyes were full of tenderness as he reached out to gently brush the stray hairs from her ear. "You kept me here, do you think you can still rest I'm going out to take care of some things and will be back later."

Feng Lingxi couldn't help but blush when she heard his words.

"Woke up, coming over tonight."

Feng Lingxi's forehead was kissed by Du Gu Cheng, and then he left the room, closing the door for her.

"It seems this man's patience is getting better and better."

Feng Lingxi smiled, raising her lips. She had thought he would stay with her and perhaps do something to her before sleep, but it seemed she had overthought things.

Feng Lingxi woke up to find it was already evening. After dinner, Du Gucheng had just returned. He was covered in dust and it was unclear where he had been, but he seemed to be in good spirits. He even ate two bowls of rice. Feng Lingxi watched him gobble down his food, finding this sight quite novel for the first time.

"Where did you go"

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, "Dealing with some matters at Tianxiang Building took up some time."

When it comes to Tianxianglou, Feng Lingxi's way of talking to Dugu Cheng changed the moment she knew he was the master of Tianxianglou.

Although they both lived in Dugu City, the words of the Tianxiang Building's owner were particularly scarce in her memory. And his tone was especially cold, just like when they hadn't married yet, even more so.

"Dugu City, was it hard to handle the matter of Tianxiang Tower"

Dugu Cheng hummed in response, put down his chopsticks and looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes becoming serious.

"Do you know why I became the master of Tianxiang Lou"

Wind Ling Xi looked at him, her eyes curious. Luoli said, this matter should be told to her by Dugu City himself. She had been waiting for him to tell her all along.

"That was the darkest period of my life, and it was precisely because of that darkness that I had this idea to establish Tianxianglou."

I've heard the legend of Shezi's tears. They say that if you choose someone to be killed, even if they kneel before you, offering their wives, children, and parents as substitutes, it won't work. You will not let anyone go who you have decided to kill.

"All those I killed deserved it."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, “There are many people in the Jianghu who the government can’t control. And these people, taking advantage of the fact that the government can’t control them, act recklessly and lose their conscience.” As Dugu Cheng said this, his voice choked with emotion, carrying a hint of suppression.

This was an emotion Feng Ling Xi had never seen him have before.

"You're right, there are too many such people in the world, but they're all gone now. Don't take it to heart."

Dugu City glanced at Feng Lingxi, the words he had on his lips were swallowed back. He still didn't have the courage to say it all. He was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to bear it and would become too emotionally charged.

Feng Lingxi noticed that his emotions were off and soothed him.

Get some rest early tonight, don't work too hard.

獨孤城嗯了一聲，情緒冇有之前的活躍。

"I'm going to find Ayan, there's something I need to talk to him about."

"Shall I go with you"

Dugu City got up, but was held down by Feng Lingxi, "No need, I'll go myself, I'll be back in a while, you wait for me here."

Feng Lingxi came out, and the air felt much more refreshing. Dugu Cheng's emotions just now were too suppressed. He must have gone through a lot of pain to become the master of Tianxiang Building. If I kept asking him about it, he would probably be sad again.

Here is the translated text: Let me know if you have any other content you'd like me to translate!

After some thought, she still decided to find Luoli, to decide whether or not she wanted to know the truth.

Luo Li saw Feng Ling Xi come to find him. To be honest, he was truly unwilling. He and A Yan had finally chatted happily, but the moment Feng Ling Xi appeared, A Yan's gaze shifted to Feng Ling Xi.

"Chief, A Flame."

Feng Lingxi took her seat, and Li Wuyan immediately asked, "Is there something you need"

"Me…" Feng Ling Xi looked at Luo Li's displeased expression of pouting, then glanced at Li Wu Yan's concerned tone towards her, and suddenly started teasing.

"Of course I came to find you, didn't I disturb you and the chief"

"Of course not, it was just casual conversation between us."

Li Wu'yan's words made Luoli unhappy, but she couldn't do anything about it.

"If you have anything, ask quickly. " After finishing speaking, I hurried away.

Luo Li's displeasure with Feng Ling Xi's disturbance was all over his face. He was truly angry, very angry.

Feng Lingxi looked at Luo Li's displeased tone, just about to speak, when she heard Li Wuyan's displeasured voice, "Xi'er found me, if you don't want to listen, then go back first."

"I..."

"Actually, I'm looking for Ayan and the chief. There are some things I want to ask the chief. There's also something I want to ask Ayan for help with."

Luo Li frowned and became impatient when asked about the matter.

"It must be related to Dugu City."

"Indeed, it's related to him. I just want to ask you, is the master of the Tianxiang Building in Dugu City, Liceng, particularly painful this day"

Luoli raised her head in surprise, looking at Feng Lingxi's serious eyes, and hurriedly asked, "Are you going to ask him"

"No, he just mentioned it to me, and I interrupted him. I could tell he wasn't in a good mood, so I didn't let him continue."

If you don't care, just don't ask.

Luoli said this very seriously, "He dislikes talking about this the most."

"Thank you for informing me, Chief."

Feng Lingxi bowed politely, she was really serious. Of course, she knew what Luoli meant by that. It seemed like the owner of Tianxianglou in Dugu City had a story to tell.

"Xier, what did you say you needed my help with"

Li Wuyan didn't want to discuss this, so he changed the subject.

"I want you to divide Cen Taihe's antidote and Dugu Xiu's antidote into several portions. The efficacy shouldn't take effect all at once, keep several portions."

"Okay."

Li Wuyan didn't even ask why, he readily agreed. His willingness touched Feng Lingxi deeply.

"Don't you want to know why"

“There’s nothing much to ask. You must have your reasons for doing this, besides, it’s just splitting things up, not a big deal.” Hearing him say that, Luo Li almost choked with anger.

Li Wuyan really believes in Feng Lingxi too much, doesn't he fear that Feng Lingxi will frame him

Even if you don't know, it's still worth asking, right

"Ayame, thank you."

Feng Lingxi bowed and thanked him. Luo Li watched Li Wuyan's faint smile, impatiently urging, "Duguo City is in a bad mood, you should go accompany him earlier. Everything has been said, and it's getting late."

Feng Lingxi got up and glanced at Li Wu Yan, "Wait for me to finish my work, and then we'll go back to the Yao Clan."

"Uh huh."

Li Wuyan ignored Luo Li's rolled eyes, watched Feng Lingxi leave, turned to leave, and Luo Li hurriedly stopped him.

Where are you going

It's late, time to go back to my room and rest.

Luoli hurried after him, "Ayan, could you tell me why you treat her better than me"

Li Wuyan's footsteps came to a halt, he turned back to look at Luo Li, his eyes slightly cold, "If you keep acting recklessly, don't blame me for being impolite."fraid, actually I..."The words that were about to leave her lips, Feng Lingxi took back. Looking at Du Gucheng's introspective gaze, she suddenly remembered the sign she had received at the Guan Yin T...
