Chapter 102: Dragon Soul and only because she’s the Wangfei
Lin Chujiu doesn’t know what exactly Xiao Tianyao is thinking, so she still seriously asks: “Why?”
However……
After waiting for a long while, Xiao Tianyao didn’t give her an answer. Xiao Tianyao acted like he didn’t hear anything. And just turn his head towards the window.
What does that mean?
Lin Chujiu felt uneasiness in her heart, so she asks him again: “Wangye, can you tell me why?”
“What is it?” Xiao Tianyao simply said, as if he didn’t put her words into his heart. And as if he didn’t get disappointed, but if he would say that he didn’t get disappointed, then that would make him a liar. Lin Chujiu is a stubborn person. So, she asks him once again: “Wangye, why would you find someone to teach me?” Why are you suddenly good to me?
“Do I need a reason?” Xiao Tianyao said with a cold face, but there was this visible joy in his eyes.
Right now, he finally understood why Su Cha always makes fun of Liu Bai. Because it was… … really very interesting.
“But, you said, I can ask why.” Lin Chujiu said in a low voice, but her tone exposes her disappointment.
Xiao Tianyao gently nodded his head, then said: “Yes, benwang said you can ask why. But, did you ask benwang to answer your question?”
“Huh … ..?.” This is not right, but Lin Chujiu still ask: “Wangye, can you give me an answer?”
Lin Chujiu said with a straight back and tranquil smile. But, she didn’t notice that she was clenching her hands. So, her real emotion got revealed to him.
Xiao Tianyao looked at her eyes and no longer tried to tease her. Then, he simply said: “There is no such thing as why. Because you are benwang’s Wangfei.” Xiao Tianyao admitted that now, he accept Lin Chujiu as his wife. And not because of the imperial edict.
“So originally, it was only because I’m your Wangfei ah.” Lin Chujiu couldn’t tell if she finally gets lucky or not. But, she could tell that her heart feels stuffy and uncomfortable.
But then, Lin Chujiu decided to just let go of this matter. After all, she knows very well that someone like Xiao Tianyao will not fall in love with her that easily. She just suddenly thought about it. She didn’t actually take it to heart… …
Yes, she didn’t take it to heart, because she doesn’t like Xiao Tianyao. So, she won’t feel hurt or sad about it, but… …
Her heart is feeling uncomfortable, her eyes are getting wet. So in the end, what is wrong with her?
Lin Chujiu felt irritated, but because she doesn’t want Xiao Tianyao.to notice it. She abnormally quiets down herself.
Lin Chujiu is not usually talkative in front of Xiao Tianyao. But today, her quietness seems because of something special. Xiao Tianyao took a glance at her, but because he finds her like her usual self. He didn’t pay much more attention. After all, this is what he wants to do every day. He wanted to do many things with Lin Chujiu, but it’s not easy.

In the afternoon, Lin Chujiu massage Xiao Tianyao’s legs like usual. But after that, Divine Doctor Mo specially visited him and said: “Wangye, today, I will add a special herb in your treatment. This special herb will help your legs to recover faster.”
“What special herb?” Xiao Tianyao doesn’t trust Divine Doctor Mo, but he acted like he trusted him.
“Dragon soul!” When Divine Doctor Mo said those two words, he forgot to conceal the pride in his eyes. Well, he’s really proud of it.
In the whole continent, dragon soul is known as a god-like medicine. Because it can cure any damaged meridians. So, it can be said that its existence is almost like a legend. In the East country and in the other four countries, it’s existence is priceless. Because it’s really hard to get a dragon soul.
“Whole plant?” Xiao Tianyao tone sounds a bit eager. And he couldn’t stay calm because he got so shocked.
When he just got injured, the doctor that took care of him said that his legs will immediately heal if he will find a whole dragon soul. Because of that, he looks for it to all over the other four countries. However, he didn’t find even a single leaf. So what’s more the whole of it?
Divine Doctor Mo got stiff. And the proudness in his face faded. So, he said with a bit discomfort: “Half of it.”
Although it’s not the whole plant, it can already be considered as a big fortune. However, Xiao Tianyao still can’t help but feel a bit disappointed. Fortunately, he is good in hiding his emotion. Xiao Tianyao added some volume in his voice and praise Divine Doctor Mo: “Dragon soul is very rare. To get half of it, it is self-evident that Divine Doctor Mo is truly an extraordinary person. Benwang really admires Doctor Mo.”
Hearing this, Divine Doctor Mo’s mood turn good. So, he even modestly added: “Wangye, this old one only accidentally find this dragon soul. So for so many years, this old one was very reluctant to use it and just want to keep it for Yuer. However, now that Wangye’s royal body needs it, what’s difference does it make to Yuer.”
The meaning of Divine Doctor Mo’s words is very obvious. But it is understandable, so Xiao Tianyao simply said: “Benwang understand. Doctor Mo could feel at ease.”
“With Wangye’s words, this old one could really feel at ease.” Divine Doctor Mo secretly felt relieved. He thought Xiao Tianyao would be angry because he didn’t bring out Dragon Soul a bit sooner. It seems Xiao Tianyao is not so stingy.
“Wangye, please wait for about quarter of an hour, this old one will prepare the dragon soul.” Xiao Tianyao knows that he must promise something, or else Divine Doctor Mo will not use the dragon soul to him. So, obviously, he only said those things for Divine Doctor Mo to have peace of mind.
Divine Doctor Mo was about to leave, but before he completely left the room. He looks at Lin Chujiu who is standing behind Xiao Tianyao with a strange smile on his face. Lin Chujiu didn’t see the expression on his face, so her face looks softer like usual. Only her knows that her mind is in really a terrible state.
She cannot tell why she feels this way. She only knows her heart feels like there was a hole.
Lin Chujiu took a deep breath to conceal her emotions. Then, she smiles like always and said: “Wangye, do you want me to help you to sit on the couch so you could rest?”
“No need.” Xiao Tianyao said, but he waved his hand for Lin Chujiu to come in front of him: “Come closer.”
“Wangye, what’s the matter?” Lin Chujiu came forward and half squat in front of him.
Because she knew Xiao Tianyao is a man that doesn’t like looking up to anyone. He had always look down upon the world, that’s why he even look down on the current emperor.
“Are you unhappy?” Xiao Tianyao asks right straight to the point. However, Lin Chujiu answer him with unchanged emotion: “How could that be? Wangye’s legs will finally be healed. So I am truly happy.”
“Really?” Xiao Tianyao obviously doesn’t believe her. So, Lin Chujiu said with determined tone: “Of, course.”
Lin Chujiu is really happy because she believes that she will soon be free. After all, once Xiao Tianyao’s legs were healed, her existence would no longer have any value.
And now that Mo Yuer is sure will be his concubine. Her presence will no longer be essential. And when that happens, her only way to get out of here is to play dead or missing.
“You are lying.” Xiao Tianyao said while staring at Lin Chujiu. And after a few minutes, he leaned forward and touches Lin Chujiu’s face. At that moment, Lin Chujiu’s body got stiff and didn’t dare to move.
Xiao Tianyao’s big hand move up close to Lin Chujiu’s eye. Then, he said: “Whenever you lie, you keep your eyes wide open and then deliberately look in their eyes.” To prove that you’re not lying.
“Yes, am I?” Lin Chujiu’s mind went blank, so she really doesn’t know what to say.
“Your heart knows very clear if the answer is yes or no.” Xiao Tianyao’s fingers stop beside Lin Chujiu’s eye. So, Lin Chujiu couldn’t help but focused her eyes on him. And in Xiao Tianyao’s eyes, she saw nothing but her own image… …
