CHAPTER 363: CHAPTER 344: NANGONG MO, THAT’S ENOUGH!

His reason was:

"Look outside, the wind is howling and the snow is falling, the mountain roads are treacherous and hard to navigate. If you’re not careful and take a fall, what if you become brainless? What should we do then?"

"Why not stay here, keep me company while brewing wine and listening to the snow, discussing life—wouldn’t that be delightful?"

"..."

Yun Ran just wanted to give him a kick to wake him up!

"You don’t even need to fall; with one jab I can turn you into an idiot. Want to give it a try?"

"Moreover, rather than discussing life, I’m more interested in discussing how to twist your mangy head off?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Mo glanced at her, gently hooked his lips, and then took out a scroll from his sleeve.

"I’m not interested in becoming brainless, but I am very interested in this; my dear, will you participate in this with me?"

As he said this, he waved the book in his hand at Yun Ran with a smile that was three parts roguish and seven parts annoying.

Not far away, Yun Ran saw the title on the cover in an instant, her face instantly froze, and her cheeks turned a shade of red.

She was utterly exasperated. "Nangong Mo! You shameless scoundrel! Put away your indecent book!"

The man raised his eyebrows lightly, unfazed, "The purpose of a scroll is for reading, discussion, and study. If it were to be put away, what then would be the point of writing?"

Yun Ran: "..."

[This is nonsense! Sophistry! An absurd theory! This book is definitely not that kind of book!]

"My dear, want to come over and take a look with me?"

"......"

Yun Ran pinched the brick in her sleeve, resisting the urge to throw it over.

"You enjoy reading it here yourself, okay! Go blind reading it for all I care!"

With this angry parting shot, Yun Ran turned to leave, but only managed a couple of steps before a huge crash sounded behind her.

It was like something had overturned onto the ground.

Yun Ran hurriedly turned around, "Nangong Mo, are you..." okay?

Of course, he was okay!

The wheelchair had fallen to the ground, while he stood before her, smiling like a fox that had stolen a hen, "Yun Xiaoran, so you do worry about me?"

"..."

Yun Ran put a hand to her forehead, feeling exhausted, "You’re so insidious and shameless! Why don’t you just fall and die?"

"If I really did die, you’d be crying."

"...I can’t be bothered with you!"

Yun Ran thought, she’d better leave soon. If she stayed any longer, either she’d be driven mad, or she’d beat him to death.

But as she turned, he grabbed her hand, "Are you really not staying to keep me company? Are you really so heartless as to leave me here alone?"

Yun Ran: "..."

[Are you Nangong the three-year-old? Do you still need someone to keep you company? Are you afraid of being snatched away by wolves if left alone?]

Yun Ran silently rolled her eyes, glanced at the hand grasping hers, her tone dripping with sarcasm, "Are you going to let go yourself, or should I chop off your paw and take it with me?"

Nangong Mo: "...I don’t believe you would treat me like this."

To this, Yun Ran let out a cold laugh, pulling out her two-meter-long sword folded up like a fan.

Nangong Mo: "..."

A violent little lady, not to be trifled with...

He silently let go of her hand, looked at the snow and wind outside, and sighed wistfully, full of endless sorrow:

"The snow is so heavy outside, any small animal venturing out to find food at this time must truly be starving, and their dens must really be empty of food, so they have no choice but to brave the wind and snow."

"Yet I never thought, they’d also have to worry about being hunted by you all, how pitiable!"

Yun Ran: "..."

[You know their dens are empty? How do you know so much? Is it because you’re a dog?!]

"I really never noticed, how kind-hearted you are?"

As if not hearing the sarcasm or disdain in her reverse compliments, the man curved his lips into an elegant yet sly smile, "I am indeed a kind-hearted man. When I have a daughter, you’ll discover even more."

Yun Ran: "......"

[Nangong Mo, enough already!]

"From your expression, it looks like you don’t believe me? Want to verify it yourself? Hmm?"

"???"

[Verify? How to verify?! What do you mean by verify...]

[This shameless man devoid of moral integrity! All you think about is the wedding night and having babies...]

Yun Ran didn’t want to stay a moment longer, it was too much for her heart to bear!

She grabbed a handful of colorful pellets from her pocket, looking at him with a cold gaze, "If you dare to pester me again, I will poison you to the heavens with this!"

"..."

Nangong Mo looked at the rainbow-colored poison in her hand, and his sexy thin lips twitched slightly as he spoke earnestly:

"Could you send me to the Moon Palace? I’d like to meet that Jade Rabbit."

"...Go away!"

...

Yun Ran finally went out.

Moreover, she soon broke away from the group.

Whether they caught any prey wasn’t important, the key was fearing she might really impulsively poison him otherwise.

And besides, the endless green mountains and the snow-covered landscape truly were enticing.

Strolling through the snow, even her mood felt brighter.

Yun Ran raised her hand, catching a drifting snowflake, quietly activating her mental method, as a wisp of icy blue light shimmered in her palm.

The snowflake that had almost melted upon her warm palm froze into an ice crystal, glowing with a faint, almost imperceptible icy blue light.

"Yue’er, Yue’er, I finally found you!"

Shen Weixi’s voice called from the woods, Yun Ran turned to look and smiled softly, "Weixi, why are you here?"

Shen Weixi ran over to her, putting one arm through hers, looking somewhat excited, "Yue’er, come with me quickly, I’ll take you to a great place."

"Oh? What kind of great place? Where is it?"

Yun Ran was a bit curious, but Shen Weixi mysteriously told her she’d find out once they got there!

Seeing her behave like that, Yun Ran played along and followed her northwest.

They crossed several dense forests and took a few turns, until they finally reached Shen Weixi’s so-called ’great place’, which turned out to be a cliff.

The snow on the mountain peak was exceptionally heavy, the vast green mountains were now covered in white snow, the view a world clad in silver and white.

Yun Ran looked around and blinked gently, "Let me guess, you’ve brought me here so mysteriously—could there be some rare mythical beasts here?"

"Ancient Divine Beasts?"

"Qilin? Vermilion Bird? Bai Ze? Taotie? Qingluan? Xuan..."

Just as Yun Ran was getting enthusiastic, Shen Weixi poked her forehead with a finger, her mouth twitching violently, "Yue’er! What are you thinking?"

"If any of those mythical beasts you mentioned actually appeared, we would end up as their meal, don’t you think?"

Yun Ran coughed lightly and composed herself, asking seriously, "So, what are we here to see?"

Shen Weixi curled an arm around her shoulder, winking and boasting like she was presenting a treasure, "Aren’t you interested in rare herbs? I know there’s a thousand-year-old fire ginseng and a snow lotus here. How about it? Pretty great, huh?"
