Une aura glaçante

Chapitre 105

Xiao Dao closed one eye.

Xue Beifan looked up at the sky and roared, "Close the other one too!"

Xiao Dao finally closed both eyes, and at the same time, felt a little better.

Xue Beifan cradled her head, helping her stand up, and then slowly walked inside. "Isn't it much better?"

"Hmm, it doesn't seem to be shaking as much anymore," Xiao Dao nodded.

"The more dizzy you feel, the more you should stay indoors. Don't look at the water outside or the banks of the river, the more you look, the dizzier you'll become!"

"Really?" This was the first time Xiao Dao had heard this.

Once inside, Xue Beifan told Xiao Dao to open his eyes and asked, "Do you have any pain-relieving plasters?"

"Yes," Xiao Dao said with a smile. "My mother gave me a lot of pain-relieving plasters."

Xue Beifan asked, puzzled, "You're as cunning as a rabbit, why do you need so much painkiller?"

Xiao Dao blushed, "Men shouldn't ask!"

Xue Beifan was even more puzzled. Without asking any further questions, he reached out his hand and asked, "Where's the plaster?"

"Here." Xiao Dao rummaged through his pouch and took out a glass bottle containing a jar of rose-red ointment that smelled of roses.

Xue Beifan pouted, "I asked you to get pain relief ointment, why did you bring out a jar of rouge?"

Xiao Dao rolled his eyes at him, "You're so ignorant! This is a top-quality pain-relieving plaster, a family heirloom of the Yan family, and it's the only one of its kind!"

Xue Beifan was both amused and exasperated. He handed her the ointment and said, "Put a little on your belly button."

Xiao Dao's face turned even redder. "Isn't rubbing it there to treat that?"

Xue Beifan raised his eyelids slightly, "Which one should I treat?"

Xiao Dao stared blankly at the plaster for a long time. No wonder her mother said before leaving that if she felt unwell, she should apply some of this plaster to the area below or near her navel. It turns out that in addition to treating menstrual cramps, it can also treat seasickness!

Xue Beifan probably realized what they were talking about by now, and felt a little embarrassed that a grown man was talking about such intimate things with a young girl.

"Ahem." Xue Beifan stood up, turned around with his hands behind his back, and said, "I'll go outside and get you something to eat, you wipe."

"Hmm." Xiao Dao nodded, and after Xue Beifan left, he crawled into bed, lowered the curtains, and wiped his belly.

I applied a little more to the Fengchi acupoint, and Xiaodao felt completely nauseous. It really worked!

A moment later, Xue Beifan knocked on the door, "Girl, the pigeons are back."

Xiao Dao quickly ran out and took the two plump pigeons that Xue Beifan handed over.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xiao Dao took the pigeon and weighed it in his hand, finding it a bit light; the round trip was indeed quite a distance.

Xiao Dao carefully opened the white dove-shaped letterbox and read it intently. Xue Beifan leaned closer to look. "Where is it from?"

"Damn it!" Xiao Dao glared at him. "Thanks to you, I'm going to the Naihe Gate, so of course I have to ask my mother what dangers I might be in! So I can prepare myself."

Xue Beifan scratched his forehead sheepishly, sat down at the table, and rubbed the kitten's fur.

"Hmm..." Xiao Dao looked at it for a while, then stroked his chin. "Oh, I see."

"The leader of the Naihe Sect should be Granny Naihe, Wang Rumeng, right?" Xue Beifan said, resting his chin on his hand. "I heard that she usually lives a secluded life. Why did your mother ask you to stay away from the Naihe Sect? Is there some kind of grudge between you?"

Xiao Dao handed him the letter, saying, "Read it yourself."

Xue Beifan took the letter, glanced at it, and first fawned over it, saying, "Your handwriting is really beautiful!"

Xiao Dao proudly tilted his head back, "That's right, my mother is skilled in both literature and martial arts!"

Xue Beifan smiled and shook his head, carefully reading the letter.

After reading the letter, Xue Beifan roughly understood the grudges between the two sides. Wang Rumeng was actually Yan Ruyu's senior sister, and not only that, but also her cousin. The two had never gotten along well since childhood. Yan Ruyu was clever and lovable from a young age, while Wang Rumeng was plain-looking and very insecure, so their childhoods were in stark contrast.

Later, Wang Rumeng fell in love with her senior brother, but he was in love with Yan Ruyu. After Yan Ruyu married Hao Jinfeng's father, Wang Rumeng's senior brother shaved his head and became a monk, which made Wang Rumeng hate Yan Ruyu.

According to Yan Ruyu's description, Xiaodao looks very much like her when she was young, so Wang Rumeng should hate her, which is why she was afraid that Xiaodao would get close to her and be in danger.

However, Yan Ruyu also wrote in her letter that Wang Rumeng wasn't actually a bad person, just stubborn and prone to getting stuck on things, harboring hatred because of love, and having a volatile and impulsive personality, easily going to extremes. If Xiaodao could help her let go of her inner turmoil, it would be a kind of fate. As the saying goes, everything should be left to nature; Xiaodao should decide how to handle it herself. She believed that with Xiaodao's intelligence, Wang Rumeng might not be able to bully her.

In the letter Xiaodao had sent earlier, he mentioned that he and Hao Jinfeng had recognized each other. Yan Ruyu was very happy and said that she would soon go to Naihe Gate, firstly to help Xiaodao, and secondly to see her son.

After reading the letter, Xue Beifan was shocked: "My mother-in-law is coming?!"

Xiao Dao rolled her eyes at him, "Who's your mother-in-law? Stop talking nonsense!"

"Oh no!" Xue Beifan pointed to his nose. "She doesn't hate me, does she?"

"That's hard to say," Xiao Dao said gleefully, nudging Xue Beifan. "Men like you are the kind he hates the most!"

"What kind of person am I..." Xue Beifan wondered, "?

"The kind with bad intentions." Xiao Dao grinned as he caught the second pigeon. After taking off the letter tube, he glanced at Xue Beifan, turned his back, and hid to the side to watch.

Xue Beifan squinted. "What? Why are you being so mysterious?"

"Nothing~" Xiao Dao drawled, his tone becoming increasingly mysterious, as he waved to Xue Beifan, signaling him to step aside and not peek!

Xue Beifan had no choice but to sit aside and wait.

After reading the letter, Xiao Dao squinted his eyes with satisfaction, then took a tinderbox and burned it.
