Volume 1: Phoenix Conceals Cloud Nation Chapter 14: Antidote

  Dongfang Chun stared straight up at the building, thinking to herself that it had been a while since the maid went upstairs, why hadn't she brought the person down yet? She was getting impatient.

  "Miss, be patient and this little silk miss will surely satisfy you." Su Niangniang hurriedly comforted the black-clothed woman who kept frowning.

  Ke Su felt that this time she spoke, the black-clothed woman didn't even bother to respond, a pair of eyes shining brightly like countless red hearts flashing, it was truly strange and bizarre, this woman's eyes had just been clear and bright.

  Following the gaze of Dongfang Chun, Su Niang smiled happily, it's finally here, secretly delighted, her approach this time was indeed correct.

  Qing Feng was stunned as he gazed at the woman walking slowly down the stairs, wearing a pink cheongsam dress with a high collar and a matching pink outer garment. Her tall and slender figure, combined with her tea-colored eyes that sparkled with charm, made her look stunningly beautiful. Her dark hair was styled in an elegant updo, secured with a jade pin, adding to her allure. The melancholic expression on her face only added to her enchanting beauty, making her seem like a true goddess, exuding elegance and refinement.

  "Oh my goodness, it's Xia Si, miss, how do you like it? This is our Xia Si girl, she will definitely satisfy you, the only thing is...the price..." Seeing the woman in front of him with a infatuated expression, he quickly negotiated the price.

  "How much does it cost?" Dongfang Chun wondered, coming back to his senses only to realize that he was going to be bankrupt this time. He smiled bitterly, and couldn't bear to ignore Zixing Hen's plea for help. A beauty like her should be very expensive, right?

  Su Niangniang made a hand gesture of five, and Dongfang Chun guessed "five hundred taels".

  Su Niang sighed and gave Xiao Sha a strange look, with an expression of infinite regret. "Miss, do you think our Xiao Sha is worth only 500 taels?"

  "No, no!" Dongfang Chun hastily waved her hand in denial. Such a beauty is hard to come by at any price! However, the beauty paired with the purple star mark is indeed a perfect match.

  "What do you mean, Miss? You look down on our Xiaoge girl. Although our Xiaoge girl is from the Wind and Moon Building, she's also a delicate girl who excels in everything, whether it's playing the zither, chess, poetry, painting, or composing songs and verses. There's nothing that Xiaoge girl can't do." Su Ayi spoke non-stop, her expression full of pride, making Dongfang Chun feel uneasy, thinking that this price was definitely too high.

  "I don't want someone like that, as long as it's a woman, it's fine. It doesn't matter if she's useless, as long as the price is cheaper." Dongfang Chun said with a hollow heart, not daring to look at the melancholic beauty Xiao Si.

  "No!" Su's aunt said with a hateful tone. She had misjudged the person, and it turned out to be a petty and stingy woman, what a pity for that elegant appearance.

  Looking at Su Niang's angry departure, Dongfang Chun hurriedly pulled her back "That, you give me a discount, I really have an urgent matter" After finishing speaking, she almost bit her own tongue, this is an insult to the beautiful woman Xiao Si Gu Niang, but she really didn't have any money.

  "Su Niang!" Xiao Si called out softly to Su Niang, while Dongfang Chunye looked at this melancholic beauty with an uncomprehending gaze.

  "Alright, that's it, miss. Five hundred taels is five hundred taels." Dongfang Chun looked at Xiaosi with gratitude and hastily pulled out a stack of silver bills, carefully counting out five 100-tael notes to hand over to Su Niangniang. Then she seriously stuffed the remaining stack of silver bills into her own bosom, still warily eyeing Su Niangniang. "You can't go back on your word," she said, before suddenly grabbing Xiaosi's arm and making a run for it. Unfortunately, the beauty looked troubled, and only when they were actually running did Chun realize how much effort it took, especially with that tall, model-like figure of hers.

  "Girl, don't worry, Su Niang will not go back on her word." Xiaoge's sleeves half-covered her face, and she smiled slightly. Dongfang Chun was stunned - this is what a lady should be like, even her smile is so subtle and beautiful.

  Wiping the sweat from her cheeks, Dongfang Chun smiled at Xiaoge and said "Let's hurry to Yunwang Fu". She was extremely anxious in her heart, she had been out for a whole hour, hoping that the purple star mark could hold on.

  Xiao Si's eyes flashed with a hint of light, and she gently wrapped her arms around Dongfang Chun before stepping into the air and heading towards Yunwang Fu. Dongfang Chun was startled and hurriedly hugged Xiao Si tightly, exclaiming "Wow, this is the legendary qinggong! It's so amazing, even more incredible than what's described in books!" Feeling that she had a secure hold on Xiao Si, Dongfang Chun excitedly spoke up, having just witnessed the legendary qinggong for herself.

  Xiao Si heard that excited voice and almost choked, nearly dropping Dongfang Chun. She quickly composed herself, hugged Dongfang Chun tightly and continued flying towards the Yunwang Fu.

  "Go there, right opposite, Jin Feng Garden's location." Dong Fang Chun pointed to the direction inside his house, not knowing if Zi Xing Hen was still there or not.

  Falling to the ground, Dongfang Chun pulled Xiao Si and rushed into the house. Seeing Zixinghen's face flushed red as she lay on the bed, Dongfang Chun's heart was very anxious. "Zixinghen, how are you? Don't have anything happen to you..." As she spoke, Dongfang Chun burst into tears, remembering a scene from her past life where a sister had a high fever, and she was very frightened.

  The purple star mark opened its purple flowing eye sockets, and smiled gently towards the east with spring warmth "I've been waiting for you"

  What a touching sentence, but unfortunately Dongfang Chun didn't take it to heart. He hurriedly turned around and comforted Zixinghen with a smile "I told you, I'll save you, hurry up Xiaosi" Then he turned his head to look at the little girl Xiaosi behind him.

  "Save him, okay?" Her voice was trembling with caution at this time.

  The slender fingers of her jade-like hand gently wiped away the tears that fell from Dongfang Chun's eyes, and her expression was filled with infinite nostalgia. "You go out first."

  When she said that, Dongfang Chun knew she had agreed and smiled gratefully, wiping her nose and eyes randomly. "Thank you" Her smile was radiant with infinite brilliance.

  Her smile was very pure and warm as her tea-colored eyes sparkled.

  Dongfang Chun walked out of the door with a peace of mind, and happened to gently close the door behind her, but she missed the bitter gaze in Zixing's eyes.

  Dongfang Chun thought of going back to sleep, but she walked a few steps and came back. She didn't know why she was so worried, so she sat quietly outside the door, constantly stroking her arms with both hands. Although it was spring, the night was very cold.

  Inside was quiet, there was no sound at all. She wanted to go in and take a look. Every time her hand reached the door, she pulled it back. Alas, she didn't want to ruin things between them. As long as she could get rid of that aphrodisiac, it would be fine.

  Unable to resist drowsiness, Dongfang Chun fell asleep just like that, leaning on his legs.

  Early morning

  The sunshine poured all over the ground, and the eastern spring was still quietly asleep, unaware of any movement around her. At this time, she had a baby-like sleeping face, pure and beautiful, especially that unpainted face, with white and delicate skin, eyelashes lightly trembling, very charming.

  Leng Yue Lian gazed at the king in front of her, with an unfathomable expression. Her green eyes were still as transparent as ice and snow, but now they shone with a puzzled light.

  Yu Qianhua had also made an appointment with Dongfang Miao, and was just about to leave when she saw Leng Yuelian gazing intently ahead. Following her gaze, Yu Qianhua looked over and discovered a serene woman sitting outside the door, fast asleep. Who was this? The Cloud King would never allow a beautiful woman to be by his side. With a soft sigh, Yu Qianhua didn't pry into the Cloud King's affairs or show any concern, but instead smiled faintly and left.

  At this time, the door of Jin Feng Yuan creaked open, and Dong Fang Chun slowly opened his eyes, looked up at the inside of the door, and found that it was Xiao Si who had opened the door.

  Dongfang Chun hastily stood up, but due to sitting for too long, his legs were numb and he was about to fall over. Xiao Si caught the unstable Dongfang Chun and softly said "Be careful, he's fine now".
