122: Section 122

At this moment, she was in great pain and could barely get out of bed.

"Good."

Su Mo then quickly walked towards the front hall. After opening the door, a pale, thin, and beautiful young girl stood there.

The person who came was Guo Lin.

Tears still hung on her face; her father's death had truly dealt a significant blow to her.

Now, she came alone, without even a maid by her side.

Seeing this, Su Mo felt a pang of heartache. This little girl, Guo Lin, was like a completely different person from her former lively and cheerful self.

"Come in quickly."

"It's cold outside."

Su Mo immediately took Guo Lin's small hand, finding it surprisingly cold.

Upon arriving in the kitchen, Su Mo quickly opened the steamer. As steam filled the kitchen, the temperature rose.

Today, Su Mo made various meat dishes: salted crispy chicken, roast duck, steamed fish, braised pork, stewed lamb chops, and cold beef salad.

Seeing Guo Lin's state, she hadn't eaten for several days. Su Mo took a large bowl and whisked a few eggs to make her a bowl of egg tea soup.

"Here, Second Miss, have some soup first."

"You haven't eaten for days, so don't eat too much of anything else. Just have some fish and lamb for now."

Looking at the abundant delicacies before her, Guo Lin nodded gently.

"Mm, I understand, Su Gege."

After speaking, Guo Lin picked up the spoon, gently blew on it, and began to drink.

Because of Su Mo's God of Cookery Talent, even the simple egg tea soup he prepared could bring a joyful sense of happiness to people.

As the egg soup went down, Guo Lin's complexion improved slightly, and she then began to eat the steamed buns and vegetables.

However, even after eating, Guo Lin's face remained very pale, even showing signs of a sallow complexion.

Su Mo saw that something was wrong and quickly felt Guo Lin's forehead.

He discovered that she had already developed a fever.

Su Mo immediately blamed himself.

"Why didn't you say anything when you had a fever?"

After speaking, he led Guo Lin to the stove, had her sit on a small stool, and Su Mo added firewood.

Soon, the stove burned brightly, and the water in the pot bubbled.

The entire kitchen was no longer as chilly as before.

Su Mo also brought over a small stool, sat beside Guo Lin, took her icy hands, and placed them in his embrace to warm them.

"Once you feel better, I'll invite a doctor to come see you."

Guo Lin shook her head upon hearing this.

"Su Gege, with you here, I'm already much better."

Su Mo gently embraced Guo Lin upon hearing this, feeling that this little girl was now surprisingly thin.

The two had not broken through the final layer of their relationship, and Guo Lin had not expected Su Mo to make such a move.

She then lay in Su Mo's embrace with a blissful expression.

This feeling was like her previous life, where he held her every day.

With Vigorous Yang Righteous Qi activated, Su Mo's embrace was like a furnace, warming Guo Lin's entire body, and even most of her sickness was driven away…

…

Outside Linjiang City.

Xu Miaoyin and Fei Lingxue, a group of five, rode their horses outside the city.

Looking at Linjiang City before her, Fei Lingxue's lips curved slightly, and her heart felt a little excited.

"Xu Miaoyin, I hope you didn't lie to me."

A hint of melancholy flashed across Xu Miaoyin's beautiful face.

She gave a bitter smile.

"If I didn't pity you, being like me, how could I bear to reveal Su Lang's whereabouts?"

"I just hope you don't scare Su Lang."

"Because he doesn't have memories of his previous life right now."

"Let's just act as normal guests and go to his restaurant to eat."

Fei Lingxue nodded gently.

Then she glanced at her ample assets.

Her cheeks flushed slightly.

"Everything, as you say."

"But I don't believe there's a man in this world who wouldn't be moved by seeing me."

"Gallop!"

Fei Lingxue, with her outstanding posture, her beautiful figure quickly disappeared ahead.

Xu Miaoyin also followed suit upon seeing this.

She was quite worried that this Blood Clothes Tower Master would act rashly.

She hoped that she wouldn't scare Su Lang.

Chapter 118: Fei Lingxue: He Is Not Him

The snow on the roof had gradually melted, turning into water dripping from the eaves.

Huang Qingwan sat by the window in a white padded jacket, looking at the courtyard with a melancholic expression.

A beautiful woman in mourning attire.

A sorrowful beauty exuded a unique temperament.

Just yesterday, Guo Lin directly changed how she addressed her, calling her 'Auntie'.

She also told her that she didn't need to remain chaste for her father and could remarry freely.

She really didn't know where she learned those words.

Unknowingly, Su Mo's image appeared before Huang Qingwan's eyes.

Su Lang.

When will it be just the two of us left in this world…

…

In the restaurant kitchen.

Perhaps it was due to Su Mo's Vigorous Yang Righteous Qi, but after being held for a while, Guo Lin found her strength gradually returning.

"Su Gege, my illness seems to be getting better."

"That fast?"

Su Mo was a little disbelieving. He then touched her forehead; it was delicate and warm, no longer scalding hot like before.

"But this won't do. You go lie down on my bed and get some sleep later."

With that, Su Mo disregarded Guo Lin's refusal, directly stood up, picked her up by the waist, and walked towards his room.

Opening the door, Chun Zhu had already fallen back asleep.

And seeing Chun Zhu sleeping in the same room as Su Mo, Guo Lin was not surprised. Since Madam had given Chun Zhu to Su Gege, Chun Zhu had the duty to take care of Su Gege's daily life.

Su Mo then softly gave a reason.

"Chun Zhu was injured yesterday and needs a few days to recover."

"She already fell back asleep after eating."

Guo Lin expressed understanding upon hearing this.

"Mm, yes, she should rest well."

Afterward, Su Mo carried Guo Lin to his bed, covered her with the quilt, and placed the profound iron cleaver at the head of the bed.

Although it was already early spring.

The weather was still chilly.

The Vigorous Yang Righteous Qi attached to the profound iron cleaver could warm up the room.

Guo Lin was also extremely tired.

Without waiting for Su Mo to say anything, she lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing the two girls asleep, Su Mo felt relieved and went to the wine-making room to tidy up his own bed.

Since Guo Lin had arrived, he and Chun Zhu would have to be more discreet for the next couple of days.

He would have to live in a room by himself.

Immediately.

After Su Mo finished tidying up, he planned to go to the market to see if there were any nourishing wild game he could buy for them to eat.

He was an optimist. Since a relationship with Change was no longer possible, he should cherish the people in front of him.

If a beautiful woman had feelings for him, he couldn't be heartless.

After a simple tidying up, Su Mo straightened his attire and left the restaurant for the market.

…

Seeing Su Mo leave, Xiao Qing quickly woke up Bai Suzhen, who was Cultivating.

"Sister, your husband has gone out."

Bai Suzhen immediately glared at Xiao Qing upon hearing this.

"Xiao Qing, you don't need to tell me about such small matters."

"Cultivate quickly. I can sense that Fahai has not left Linjiang City."

"Oh."

…

At this moment, Su Mo arrived at the market, looking refreshed.

The market was no longer as bustling as usual, but the number of stalls hadn't decreased much.

Although there were Demons causing trouble now, business still had to be done.

Otherwise, before the Demons could kill them, their entire family would starve to death at home.

Suddenly.

From the adjacent street, faint sounds of "clip-clop, clip-clop" of horse hooves could be heard, the sounds rising and falling, as if five or six horses were galloping together.

Su Mo was a little puzzled.

He wondered who was riding horses on the street so early in the morning.

Could it be new Jianghu practitioners?

Thinking of this, Su Mo began to ponder.

The Black Bear Demon from Black Wind Mountain had a backer. If he were to eliminate this Black Bear Demon, it would definitely anger the Black Bear Demon's backer.

Furthermore, he didn't know who this Black Bear Demon's backer was, so Su Mo didn't dare to take the risk.

It wouldn't matter for him, but if he implicated Madam Huang and Guo Lin, that would be a sin.
