126: Chapter 126: Nalan Yanran: Husband

Chapter 126: Nalan Yanran: Hu~sband

More than half an hour later, the brand toxin in Nalan Jie's body was easily removed by Gu Shengge, and Nalan Jie also fainted from the bone-scraping, flesh-cutting pain.

Gu Shengge withdrew his hand from Nalan Jie's back, and Nalan Su quickly stepped forward to support Old Master Nalan.

"Although I have expelled the brand toxin from Old Master Nalan's body, he has suffered from the erosion of the brand toxin for the past two years, causing severe depletion of his Qi and vital essence. He must not consume cold foods. This is a Spirit Replenishing and Essence Nurturing Medicinal Pill, which can help Old Master Nalan recover sooner."

Gu Shengge rose from the bed, informed Nalan Su of some precautions, and then handed him a bottle of Spirit Replenishing and Essence Nurturing Medicinal Pills.

"Many thanks, Palace Master Juan. Yanran, please take Palace Master Juan to rest first."

Nalan Su quickly took the Medicinal Pill, thanked him, and instructed Nalan Yanran to host Gu Shengge well.

Nalan Yanran, seeing that her grandfather's brand toxin had been completely removed, revealed a joyful smile on her cold and beautiful face. Without disturbing Nalan Jie's rest, she bowed slightly to Gu Shengge, making a gesture of invitation, and left the room one after another with him.

In the corridor, Nalan Yanran followed behind Gu Shengge, her pink lips slightly parted as she spoke to thank him.

"Many thanks, Junior Martial Uncle Juan, for saving my grandfather. Otherwise, he would have suffered from this brand toxin for who knows how much longer."

"It was merely a small effort. Besides, given our relationship, isn't it only right to help Old Master Nalan?"

Gu Shengge turned his head and smiled at Nalan Yanran. His words made the cold and delicate young woman recall what had happened in the Immortal Cave, and a shy expression appeared in her beautiful eyes, with two blushes rising on her pretty face, making her look exceptionally charming.

Seeing her shyness, Gu Shengge stopped, reached out, and wrapped his arm around Nalan Yanran's slender waist, pulling her into his embrace.

This sudden embrace made the young woman extremely shy. Her eyes darted around, and only after confirming that no one was around did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Her fair, tender chin was gently pinched by Gu Shengge, tilting up the young woman's beautiful face, which revealed shyness. Her eyes dodged, not daring to look at the man before her.

Gu Shengge lowered his head, leaned close to Nalan Yanran, and lightly kissed her earlobe.

Immediately, the young woman felt an electric shock. Her delicate body, held in his embrace, trembled slightly, and the shy expression on her face deepened, with a faint blush creeping up her earlobes.

"It's only been half a year, Yanran, why are you so unfamiliar? Still calling me Junior Martial Uncle Juan?"

Hearing Gu Shengge's soft, ambiguous whispers, Nalan Yanran's pink lips pursed slightly, her beautiful eyes showing even stronger shyness. After a long hesitation, she slowly spoke, her voice delicate with a hint of allure.

"Hu~sband."

"Mm, that's more like it."

Hearing her call him husband, Gu Shengge nodded in satisfaction and spoke again: "Yanran, your husband helped you with such a big favor, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

Nalan Yanran hesitated when she heard he wanted a token of appreciation. She looked around again, and after confirming that no one was present, she shyly raised her head and kissed Gu Shengge's lips like a dragonfly touching water.

Although it was light, Gu Shengge still felt the softness and warmth of the young woman's lips. Looking at his shy little wife, Yanran, how could he let her go so easily?

He immediately lowered his head and kissed Nalan Yanran's pink lips domineeringly and forcefully, intertwining with her and savoring the young woman's taste.

This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Nalan Su, who had come out to call a servant. He quickly closed his mouth, retreated back into the room, not daring to disturb his daughter.

If his Nalan family could marry into a Grade 8 Alchemist's family, even if Nalan Yanran were a concubine, it would still be a great blessing for the Nalan family.

Even a small trifle from a Grade 8 Alchemist's fingertips would be enough to elevate the Nalan family to a new height.

A long time later, Gu Shengge and Nalan Yanran finally separated their lips.

The young woman's pretty face was flushed, and she leaned against Gu Shengge's chest, embraced by him.

Gu Shengge's other hand wrapped around Nalan Yanran's fair, silken legs, lifting her in a princess carry and heading towards a guest room.

...

As the sun set in the west, the beautiful evening glow draped a layer of orange-red luster over Yun Lan Mountain. The clouds and mist coiling around the mountain were also dyed blood-red.

In the Sect Master's sleeping quarters, Yun Yun looked at the darkening sky outside the window. Seeing that her Disciple and Gu Shengge had not yet returned, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, with a hint of worry in her expression.

She didn't know much about Old Master Nalan's brand toxin, but she knew that even Gu He, a Sixth-Rank Alchemist, could only suppress it, not remove it.

They haven't returned yet, could it be that even Gu Shengge has no solution for the brand toxin? He is a Grade 8 Alchemist and possesses an abnormal flame. Could that brand toxin be so powerful!

Thinking of this, the beautiful Sect Master decided to personally go to the Nalan Residence.

Yun Yun rose and flew out of the sleeping quarters, heading straight for Jia Ma Holy City.

Jia Ma Imperial Palace.

Under the cover of night, the Imperial Palace was heavily guarded and brightly lit, with well-equipped, fully armored soldiers patrolling everywhere.

Inside a palace, Yao Ye, dressed in a luxurious off-the-shoulder short-sleeved gown that outlined her beautiful curves, her fragrant shoulders slightly exposed, her jade-like arms as white as lotus roots, held a piece of intelligence about the Nalan Residence. Her red lips parted slightly, and she reported to Jia Xingtian in an unhurried tone, word by word.

"Great-grandfather, the spy planted in the Nalan family reported that the Lord of the Nine Luminaries Heavenly Palace and Nalan Yanran appeared together at the Nalan Residence, and that person also helped Old Master Nalan remove the brand toxin from his body. He is currently a guest at the Nalan Residence."

"And according to what that spy overheard, Palace Master Juan is now a Grade 8 Alchemist."

By the end of her report, Yao Ye herself was stunned, even doubting whether the spy had misheard.

Jia Xingtian, who had been nonchalant, suddenly widened his eyes and showed an expression of disbelief upon hearing 'Grade 8 Alchemist'.

Is it true? A Grade 8 Alchemist!

He had lived so many years and had never even seen a Seventh-Rank Alchemist, let alone an Eighth-Rank.

"Let's go, we're going to the Nalan Residence."

Jia Xingtian immediately said to Yao Ye, but then remembered something and told Yao Ye to go to the Imperial Family's treasury to select two treasures as a welcoming gift, and also to call Princess Yao Yue.

That girl is also an Alchemist. If she could receive guidance from a Grade 8 Alchemist, her path as an Alchemist in the future would surely be much smoother.

Nalan Residence.

A streak of green light cut through the night sky, landing outside the mansion.

Upon seeing the Cloud Mist Sect Master in person, one gatekeeper stepped forward to greet her, while the other ran into the mansion to report.

Soon, Nalan Su hurried out of the mansion, cupped his fists in greeting, and spoke loudly.

"Sect Master Yun, what an honor to have you here. Please forgive my late welcome. Please, come in quickly."

Yun Yun shook her head, not blaming Nalan Su for the late welcome; it was her sudden arrival. Then, the beautiful Sect Master followed Nalan Su into the mansion, not forgetting to inquire about Old Master Nalan's condition.

Nalan Su: "Thanks to Sect Master Yun, with that person's help, the brand toxin in Old Master Nalan's body has been completely removed. He has now awakened and is dining with Palace Master Juan in the dining hall. Sect Master Yun, you've arrived at a good time; why not join us for dinner?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun nodded slightly, accepting Nalan Su's invitation.
