62: Yun Yun: What if I really plan to commit myself to you?

Thank you!

Gu Fei… I really, truly don't know how to thank you!

Yun Yun felt extreme gratitude, emotional value +100.

Seeing Gu Fei agree, a warm current surged through Yun Yun's heart, her beautiful eyes gleamed, and her normally cold, pretty face had already softened.

She understood that she owed Gu Fei too many favors.

“I say, you’re not planning to offer yourself in return, are you?”

Looking at Yun Yun's current emotions, Gu Fei's lips curved into a smile, and he couldn't help but tease her.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener took it to heart; his words made Yun Yun feel as if her heart had stopped.

Yun Yun felt flustered and shy, emotional value +150.

A blush quickly spread across her delicate cheeks, her pearly teeth bit her lower lip, and she once again showed a somewhat flustered expression.

However, Yun Yun looked at Gu Fei's slightly raised eyebrows and teasing eyes, and quickly understood that Gu Fei was joking.

“What if I really did want to offer myself in return?”

Yun Yun felt anticipation, emotional value +100.

Yun Yun, emboldened, for the first time responded to Gu Fei with a similar joke.

At the same time, there was a sense of anticipation in her heart, anticipating Gu Fei's response.

If an outsider were to witness this scene, they would surely be greatly surprised.

What kind of person was Yun Yun? Her clear, cold beautiful eyes had never shown any emotion.

The unsmiling, high-and-mighty Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect was now saying such ambiguous words to a young man.

Looking at Yun Yun's somewhat serious gaze, Gu Fei lowered his eyes.

“Alright, no more joking. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the Nalan Family!”

He flashed a smile, a youthful and spirited grin, and thus simply ended the topic.

Yun Yun felt disappointment, emotional value +100.

Not receiving a response, Yun Yun's delicate body stiffened, and she somewhat disappointedly withdrew her gaze, then forced a smile and said, “Okay, I’ll go tell Nalan Yanran to prepare.”

In the middle of the night, Yun Yun quietly came to Nalan Yanran’s room and told her that Gu Fei had agreed to treat Nalan Jie.

“Really? Thank you, Master!”

Upon hearing this news, Nalan Yanran’s eyes instantly reddened, her heart full of gratitude… The next morning, Nalan Yanran urged Nalan Su, and the father and daughter, along with the family guards, arrived early to wait outside the imperial palace.

“This time, it’s really thanks to your Master for interceding. Otherwise, your grandfather wouldn’t have lasted much longer…”

Outside the imperial palace, a middle-aged man spoke to Nalan Yanran with great excitement.

“Yes, my intuition tells me that Young Master Gu Fei definitely has the ability to cure grandfather!”

Nalan Yanran nodded.

Next, the father and daughter stood solemnly outside the imperial palace gate.

Soon, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin followed behind Gu Fei, walking out of the imperial palace gate.

Gu Fei had long sensed the Nalan Family father and daughter waiting outside the imperial palace, and he strode over.

“Young Master Gu Fei! My father and I have come to escort you to the Nalan Residence.”

Nalan Yanran caught sight of Gu Fei approaching, her beautiful eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward to greet him.

Nalan Yanran felt excited, emotional value +80.

Afterward, Gu Fei took Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin into the Nalan Residence by carriage.

After entering the main gate, there was a luxurious hall at the end of a small path.

Through the slightly ajar door, inside were servants rushing to and fro.

“Young Master Gu Fei, grandfather is in the side room of the main hall, this way please.”

Nalan Yanran walked an arm’s length in front of Gu Fei, speaking in a low voice.

Slowly approaching the side room, a faint, soft light shone out, and Gu Fei gently pushed open the door.

The room was quite spacious, with a large bed placed in the center, and a gaunt-faced old man lying on it.

Around the bed, several maidservants were busy; hearing the sound of the door, they cast their gaze over, then once again carefully attended to the unconscious old man.

Slowly approaching the large bed, Gu Fei’s gaze swept across the bed, noticing that the old man’s face was faintly covered with large patches of greyish-black, and on his quietly sleeping face, there was even a hint of the aura of death.

“It’s indeed quite serious…”

Glancing at the old man’s face, which seemed to have one foot already in the grave, Gu Fei murmured.

“Yes, indeed. A thing like the Blazing Poison, even a Dou Emperor powerhouse would not dare to easily touch it. For the old Master to have endured it for so many years, he has already reached his limit.”

Behind him, Nalan Su, who had followed closely, sighed and shook his head, then carefully asked, “Young Master Gu Fei, do you see any hope for treatment?”

Beside him, Nalan Yanran nodded slightly, her bright eyes fixed on the tall, indifferent young man beside her.

Nalan Su felt anticipation, emotional value +30.

Nalan Yanran felt anticipation, emotional value +80.

In Gu Fei’s perception, the Blazing Poison had almost fused with Nalan Jie’s bones; his normally warm and pure white bones now glowed with an ominous dark luster.

He frowned and spoke bluntly, “If an ordinary person were to use an exotic flame to expel the poison, he would have a very high chance of being directly incinerated into ash.”

After all, that was an exotic flame; even if a Dou Emperor powerhouse got a little on their Physical Body, they would at least lose half their skin if they didn’t die.

Nalan Yanran felt stunned and disappointed, emotional value +80.

“This…”

Hearing Gu Fei’s words, Nalan Yanran didn't know what to say and was very flustered.

Gu Fei glanced at her unhurriedly: “Don’t worry, I’m talking about ordinary people. As for me, I have a way to cure him in one go, without any danger.”

The air in the room was briefly silent for a moment.

Nalan Yanran felt anticipation, emotional value +80.

Nalan Su felt hesitation, emotional value +30.

“Is Young Master’s statement true?”

“Then Nalan Su, on behalf of my father, thanks Young Master Gu Fei for saving his life!”

Nalan Yanran believed Gu Fei’s words without hesitation, after all, Yun Yun had invited him. And although Nalan Su had not witnessed Gu Fei’s strength, hearing his confident tone, he also believed him much more.

“Wait aside…”

Gu Fei spoke indifferently, then slightly bent his palm, and a stream of Qi lifted Nalan Jie on the bed.

He casually glanced at Nalan Jie; despite the prolonged erosion of the poison, the old man’s already withered face appeared even more terrifying, yet one could still faintly discern the unyielding spirit within him, just like his name suggested.

His left hand lightly patted Nalan Jie’s shoulder, and a hidden force shattered the old man’s robes into powder, revealing a gaunt body like a skeleton.

Looking at this emaciated body, Gu Fei’s expression remained unchanged, while Nalan Yanran’s eyes were already tinged with redness.

A mist, rarely seen on her, swirled in her eyes, making this noble lady appear somewhat pitiful.
