Chapter 144: You took such a big advantage of me, so it’s not too much to ask for a title
When Nan Xuanwei appeared in front of everyone again, her spirit had almost recovered. Except for her pale face, she was the same as a normal person in other aspects.
"Don't make medicine or draw talismans today. Take another day off." Xiao Shiyu really wanted to stay with her. There was a very important contract to sign today and he had to be present.
"I'll go back to sleep in a while, and go out again in the afternoon when I'm more energetic."
Xiao Qingyan also had an appointment. She originally wanted to bring Nan Xuanwei with her, but seeing her condition, she had to give up the idea: "I will be back before lunch. I will bring you whatever you want to eat."
"I'll be home in the afternoon, you can just go out and play without worry!" Xiao Shiyu had already made plans. He would be busy all morning today, and would be at home with his little girl in the afternoon and tomorrow. He had a premonition that Nan Xuanwei's raging poison was about to break out.
It’s strange to say, his cold poison used to occur once a month or so, but ever since Nan Xuanwei helped him detoxify last time, the symptoms of the cold poison seemed to have disappeared.
It seems that he and the little girl are destined to be together, and they are each other's salvation and panacea.
"Mother Xiao, I'm going back to the pharmacy to get some things and store the medicine that I sorted out yesterday but didn't have time to refine. Leaving it outside for a long time will affect the efficacy of the medicine."
"Do you need Mama Xiao to accompany you?"
"Don't worry, I don't have the energy to make medicine today. I'll just go over to take a look and will be back before lunch." She wanted to try the Nanming Lihuo and then take a look at the Wuwang Ding, so she couldn't let other people be present.
Lu Yuning really couldn't help with these things, and could only remind her to come back early.
After returning to the alchemy room, Nan Xuanwei couldn't wait to activate the Nanming Lihuo. When she saw the flame more than half a foot high, she jumped up excitedly. In the future, the time for refining medicine can be shortened by at least one third. Such a flame is enough to wrap around the Wuwang Ding, so that the medicinal materials inside can be heated evenly. There is no need to pay attention to the temperature all the time, just adjust the firepower at several important nodes.
She then condensed the flames into a ball, which actually turned into three fireballs, which meant she could attack three enemies in different directions at the same time!
She was grateful to Qingtian from the bottom of her heart and thought that she would thank him solemnly next time they met.
After practicing for an hour on controlling the flames and the strength of the fireball, Nan Xuanwei took the recipe and left the pharmacy. On her way back, she ran into Xiao Ran's family who came to visit the old man.
"Aunt Xiao, Uncle!" Nan Xuanwei greeted them and sat next to Lu Yuning.
"You're sweating, and your complexion isn't as good as it was this morning. Go back to your room and have a rest. I'll have someone call you for lunch at noon."
"I was just about to say this. My body hasn't recovered yet, so I plan to go back and take a nap. If I don't come down at noon, you don't have to wait for me to eat."
She was a guest, but her tone was louder than the host. Xiao Ran didn't like Nan Xuanwei, who had no background or status. Seeing her being so polite, she couldn't help but say, "It seems that Weiwei has lived here for a long time and has already regarded this place as her own home."
Lu Yuning and Duan Jinshu both heard the hidden meaning in her words. Nan Xuanwei was tired and exhausted, so she nodded and went upstairs without giving it much thought.
Duan Jinshu asked his son-in-law to go find his wife, and his grandson was also sent away: "Don't be so sarcastic when you talk. Weiwei is so naive that she didn't hear it, but I did. You are already married and you are a guest here. Why are you meddling in other people's business?"
"Mom, what do you like about her? She has no family background and probably has never been to school. Are you really going to accept her as Shiyu's wife? Have you ever thought about what people in the capital will say about the Xiao family? They will say that we have fallen, which will have an impact on Shengyu and the Xiao family. Mom, sister-in-law, you can't be confused!"
"As long as my son likes her and she's a good girl, I can accept it. I also advise you not to just look at the surface. I'll go to the kitchen to check on the food. Weiwei hasn't been feeling well these past two days, so I have to ask the chef to prepare more delicious meals for her."
"Come on, you accompany me for a walk in the yard." Duan Jinshu called his daughter and the mother and daughter left the living room together.
Xiao Shiyu came back after signing the contract at around ten o'clock. After saying hello to his aunt and uncle, he asked where Nan Xuanwei was. Lu Yuning said she was tired and went back to sleep. Xiao Shiyu was worried and went upstairs and knocked on the door, but no one answered for a long time.
He was about to ask the housekeeper for the key to go in and take a look, when Xiao Qi opened the door and came out: "My master has signs of fever, and his body is a little hot!"
Could it be that the child is having an attack of some symptom? Duan Jinshu and Lu Yuning hurried upstairs. Xiao Ran also wanted to go and take a look, but Xiao Qinian stopped her: "Let's eat." The fewer people who know Weiwei's secret, the better.
The family doctor was also called in. After taking the temperature, he said it was a low-grade fever and asked to be observed for another hour. If the temperature rose, he would have to be given a fever-reducing injection.
"Grandma, Mom, you two go eat. I'll stay with her."
"Mom will stay here with Weiwei for a while. Go eat something and then I'll take over!"
Xiao Shiyu nodded, helped Duan Jinshu downstairs, sat down, asked the servant to serve him rice, ate a bowl, and went back upstairs.
Fortunately, Nan Xuanwei's temperature did not continue to rise. Perhaps she felt the chill and reached out to Xiao Shiyu with both hands. Xiao Shiyu simply took off his shoes and socks and leaned against the bed, picked Nan Xuanwei up and hugged her in his arms: "Are you feeling better now?"
Nan Xuanwei nodded in a daze, rubbed her face back and forth on his chest a few times, and put one small hand in between the two buttons of his shirt.
"Little girl, do you know the consequences of doing this?"
It felt so cool. Nan Xuanwei moved her little face closer. She felt the buttons were bothering her and were in the way, so she tore them off violently. Xiao Shiyu tensed his whole body and gripped the bed sheet tightly.
In his arms was the person he loved, and now they were leaning against each other in such an intimate posture. He needed a great deal of self-control to stay calm and not let his mind run wild.
Xiao Qi silently turned back into a hedgehog and shrank into a corner of the sofa where the bed could not be seen, burying his head. He saw nothing!
Nan Xuanwei clung to Xiao Shiyu like an octopus. After a brief panic, Xiao Shiyu calmed down, slowly lay down and held Nan Xuanwei in his arms, letting her body press tightly against him, his little hands touching her restlessly.
"It would be unreasonable if you don't give me a name after taking advantage of me so much!"
Nan Xuanwei's heart felt like another fire was burning, the temperature was getting higher and higher. She knew what this meant and murmured two words: "Cold Pond!"
Hearing this, Xiao Shiyu turned over and sat up, and even when he stood up, he did not forget to hug Nan Xuanwei in his arms: "Little girl, your pain of burning body has come back, right?"
"Well, but this time... it doesn't seem to be as uncomfortable as before." After saying that, he hugged Xiao Shiyu's waist. This human-shaped ice pillow was so comfortable. It was just right to hug. It was not too cold but could still cool down the body. I should make more money and buy one home so that I can hug it every night before going to bed.
In order to make Nan Xuanwei more comfortable, Xiao Shiyu took off his coat, held her and opened the door. The cold pond was gone, but the Xiao family had the cold jade bed.
