The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler



It was like a dream.

The fireworks from the dream bloomed iridescently, and the colorful rays of light shone everywhere, almost dazzling one's eyes and causing one to be mesmerized.

Tuan Zi couldn't remember how she returned to her residence and how she slept. She faintly recalled that Zi Chen had sent her back, but… she lay on the bed, tossing and turning the entire night.

Her entire person was burned by a silent fire, and she only managed to sleep right before dawn. This also caused her to wake up the next day with two dark patches, causing her to look less energized.

After she woke up, she sat on her bed and hugged the blanket, feeling dazed for a long time.

She couldn't help but touch her lips—they seemed a little swollen.

As if she was burned, she hurriedly retracted her hand. However, there seemed to be some warmth that spread from it and wrapped around her entire person.

Everything that happened the previous night flashed across her mind slowly. Of course, the so-called 'everything' was only that one thing.

"…Oh!"

She finally recovered her senses, whimpered, and buried her head under the blanket. What. Have. I. Done?!

For some reason, when she previously thought about this, she was filled with curiosity and excitement. Shyness and nervousness seemed to be ignorable.

But now, after she 'experienced' it in detail, the slow awkwardness and humiliation overwhelmed her later.

W-why did I do that?!

She almost did not dare to think about it, but the scene kept playing in her mind.

She could not recall the details, but the seductive temperature could not be erased from her memory.

After some painful thoughts, Tuan Zi rapidly stood up and ran outside.

…

In the afternoon, the sun shone brightly.

In the courtyard, the trees swayed.

Xiao Ba was resting in the house.

When Yan Qing walked in, he saw the figure lying quietly and walked lightly.

When he came to Xiao Ba, he focused on her sleeping look for a while.

As if detecting his existence, Xiao Ba woke up in a daze and forced her eyes open. "Brother Yan Qing…"

Yan Qing acknowledged her before going up to take her outerwear.

Xiao Ba closed her eyes and reached out to hug him.

Yan Qing carried her and helped her wear the outerwear before he kneeled down on one knee and squeezed her thin ankle for her to wear her shoes. Then, he carried her outside.

She liked taking afternoon naps, but if she slept too much, it was hard for her to sleep at night. Hence, at this time every day, Yan Qing would come and wake her up.

The moment she entered, she smelled an alluring sweet fragrance.

Xiao Ba nestled in Yan Qing's arms and recognized that it was the honey tea he had made today, and she couldn't help but smile.

She had to drink different types of floral tea every day, and she had high standards. It required quite some time and energy.

Ever since she accidentally burned her hand, Yan Qing did not allow her to do it anymore. He had never given the task to other people and always did it himself.

Actually, the burn wound was nothing to her, but…

The Left Divine General was very talented, and his skills in this area quickly surpassed her. Then, she swiftly gave up struggling and accepted it righteously.

But the moment they sat, she heard Yan Qing say, "Tuan Zi is here."

"Huh?" Xiao Ba was dazed and looked up.

As expected, a red-golden figure came over in no time.

Xiao Ba was elated and immediately waved her hand. "Tuan Zi, quickly come over—'

Tuan Zi was quick and appeared before her.

Xiao Ba knew that she loved sweet food the most and that she also liked this floral tea. She smiled and said, "Try this—hm?"

Before she finished her sentence, she was taken aback when she saw Tuan Zi's look. "Who bullied our Tuan Zi?!"

Tuan Zi hurriedly waved her hands. "N-no…"

Xiao Ba's gaze had already landed on her lips, and her eyes instantly became dangerous. After a while, she spoke with clenched teeth, "Which scoundrel?!"

Who exactly was it!? Who dared to touch our Tuan Zi?! He must be maniacal! Tuan Zi doesn't know anything, yet she was tricked by someone?!

Xiao Ba wasn't in the mood at all. She wanted to find the person and harshly beat him up!

Tuan Zi originally wanted to defend herself, but she quickly realized that it was to no avail.

She coughed. For some reason, she felt guilty and didn't know where to put her hand as her face burned. "Sister Xiao Ba, things aren't what you think they are…"

Seeing Tuan Zi's hesitant look, Xiao Ba suddenly understood. She widened her eyes slightly and raised her voice incredulously. "Wait, the friend you were talking abou is yourself?!"

At this point, a familiar and pleasant voice came from outside. "Hm? Why is it so crowded?"

Tuan Zi and Xiao Ba were stunned in unison. Then, they slowly turned around to look.

Chu Liuyue walked in from outside.

Xiao Ba looked behind her.

Chu Liuyue smiled and said, "Ancestor is taking care of the two of them today, so I came out to take a breather."

Then, she asked again, "What are you talking about? Friend?"

Xiao Ba was instantly dumbfounded.

Tuan Zi unwittingly shrunk her neck.

Noticing that the atmosphere was amiss, Chu Liuyue raised her brows slightly and looked straight at Tuan Zi. Then, her gaze focused.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze.

After a moment, she slowly said, "…Who is going to explain to me what exactly is going on?"

Since she was dead either ways, Xiao Ba swiftly said painfully, "Master, I don't know which shameless scoundrel tricked our innocent Tuan Zi! That scum kept playing with Tuan Zi and even coaxed Tuan Zi into—"

Tuan Zi pulled her sleeves and tried to defend him. "Sister Xiao Ba, I-I went to kiss him…"

Xiao Ba was infuriated. "How can you do that? You're speaking for him after one kiss?! How can you be bribed so easily?"

Yan Qing—who did not move at all at the side—moved his brows slightly and glanced at her.

Xiao Ba was speechless. Right, I don't have the right to say such words…

Chu Liuyue kept quiet for a moment.

Tuan Zi still had a faint aura on her. Others could not tell, but she recognized it at first instance.

Chu Liuyue took a deep breath in and slowly held her forehead. "I was careless…"
