Luo Zhiheng scoffed, "So what if you're the mistress? I'm here to see the master. Go cool off somewhere else, or I might accidentally slap you again or disfigure you. Wouldn't that be my fault? You'd better take good care of your face."
For some reason, Luo Ningshuang felt a chill run down her spine when Luo Zhiheng mentioned protecting her face. She tried to speak in a panic, but Mu Yunhe arrived.
Luo Zhiheng gracefully rose to her feet, her steps light and her voice melodious and charming, enough to melt one's bones: "Why did you take so long to arrive? Is your wound alright?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Ningshuang immediately realized that the barbarian female leader had taken a liking to Mu Yunhe and had come specifically to seduce him! How despicable! She actually dared to seduce him into her own home! That shameless vixen!
Mu Yunhe was even colder than before. He felt slightly uncomfortable with Luo Zhiheng's enthusiasm. He turned slightly to avoid Luo Zhiheng's outstretched hand and said coldly, "What brings you here?"
Luo Zhiheng didn't care about his cold demeanor, and seemed oblivious to Mu Yunhe's resistance and rejection. She approached him with fiery enthusiasm, her sexy red lips slightly pouting, exuding a seductive charm, and her voice coquettish: "What else could it be? It's all about treating your 'beloved wife'."
Upon hearing that this person had actually come to treat her, Luo Ningshuang was startled and instinctively shouted, "I don't need your treatment. Get out of here immediately. I can tell from your so-called barbaric lands that there's nothing of value. Just look at you!"
Luo Zhiheng's cold gaze swept over Luo Ningshuang, the chill in it sending a shiver down her spine. Luo Zhiheng's voice rose and fell, yet remained extremely gentle as she said, "Please watch your words. The men of my Wilderness are all upright and honorable men. The daughters of my Wilderness are also well-behaved children from good families, unlike some people who are so ill-mannered. They wear the title of noble ladies, yet their actions are so despicable and vile."
"How dare you humiliate me!" Luo Ningshuang sensed the hidden meaning in Luo Zhiheng's words and her face turned pale with anger.
The angrier and more agitated Luo Ningshuang became, the more arrogant and calm Luo Zhiheng appeared, casually smiling and saying, "What you're saying is really funny. I've seen people pick up treasures and money, but I've never seen anyone pick up a scolding. Your Excellency, your words are quite amusing."
Her eyes were alluring, and when she turned her head to look at Mu Yunhe, a large expanse of fair skin was revealed on her beautiful neck. Even though her face was hidden, her charm and demeanor alone were enough to make one's bones melt with desire.
Mu Yunhe's gaze seemed calm, but there was a ripple in it. He subconsciously turned his sharp gaze to Xia Beisong. Seeing that Xia Beisong was protecting Luo Ningshuang and not looking at Luo Zhiheng, he inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and glared coldly at Luo Zhiheng, giving her fair skin a particularly cold look.
Luo Zhiheng giggled, laughing so hard she trembled with uncontrollable joy, tears welling up in her eyes.
How could she never have known that her Yunhe could be so adorable even when he was cold? He said he was no longer Mu Yunhe, he said he was just a remnant soul, he said he could not love and had no love, he said his existence was only because Luo Zhiheng was still alive in this world.
But how could Mu Yunhe, whose only soul had lost love, still show such obvious dissatisfaction and concern? Mu Yunhe, you don't understand love anymore, you've lost the soulful emotions that supported your ability to love, but you still have a connection to her soul, don't you? You still care about her, don't you? No matter who she is or what she's like, as long as she's there, you won't truly forget her!
Luo Zhiheng was clearly smiling, but Mu Yunhe only felt that her smile was so desolate and sorrowful. His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and Mu Yunhe's gaze darkened, as if he wanted to shatter the thick sorrow surrounding Luo Zhiheng. But in the end, he only asked, "Say what you want to say, and then leave."
Mu Yunhe found himself reluctant to face Luo Zhiheng any longer. This woman was so strange and unpredictable; she could easily stir up all sorts of emotions in him, making him restless and gradually irritable. So it was best to see her less often.
Luo Zhiheng stared at Mu Yunhe's retreating figure with fiery eyes, but instead of doing what Mu Yunhe wanted, she said critically, "Your behavior is really funny. I didn't name her by name as that noble lady, so why was she so agitated? Don't you Central Plains people have a saying, 'A guilty conscience needs no accuser'? Could it be that she's a thief? Is that why she's feeling guilty?"
Luo Zhiheng is right. Isn't Luo Ningshuang a thief? She stole everything that belonged to her sister, including men, status, and wealth. And after this heinous act, she even went so far as to murder her sister to silence her. Her behavior is utterly despicable. She's not only a thief, but also a murderer!
Luo Ningshuang's expression changed upon hearing this. Every word Luo Zhiheng spoke filled her with dread and anger, leaving her almost completely disoriented. Her carefully laid plans were now in jeopardy. She felt that Luo Zhiheng was far too dangerous. Luo Ningshuang spoke with the arrogance and haughtiness that Luo Zhiheng usually displayed: "Stop spouting nonsense! What kind of thief have I done? Do I need to be gossiped about by an outsider like you in my own home? Get out of here, you're not welcome here."
Hypocritical and pretentious! A poor imitation! 17.
Luo Zhiheng mentally gave Luo Ningshuang these two comments: if she wanted to imitate her, she should first consider whether she had the ability. She could only imitate the surface, but not the essence, making her appear only pretentious and disgusting. Luo Zhiheng couldn't help but feel a little gratified, thinking how fortunate she was that she was no longer the person she used to be; otherwise, seeing Luo Ningshuang's imitation today would have disgusted her to death.
Luo Zhiheng then said something surprising, exclaiming in astonishment, "Oh! Didn't you lose your memory? How do you know you're a noble lady? Otherwise, how could you connect my words to reality? Don't tell me someone else told you this. Those people were already busy with their 'ohs' and 'ahs,' how could they have had the time or inclination to tell you this? Could it be that the previous treatment worked? You've regained your memory?"
Her words startled even Xia Beisong, who harbored hostility towards her. He then grabbed Luo Ningshuang's arm in delight and asked, "Aheng, have you thought of something? Do you remember Brother Beisong?"
Luo Zhiheng secretly grimaced as she watched from the side. When she saw that Mu Yunhe also had a concerned look on his face, Luo Zhiheng snorted coldly: "If you're alright, hurry up and speak. Otherwise, if you're still crying and screaming during the treatment, I won't be willing to treat you."
Luo Ningshuang was completely bewildered by Luo Zhiheng, both shocked and furious. On one hand, she wondered who this despicable person was and why she was always targeting her. Could she have some kind of relationship with Luo Zhiheng? On the other hand, she tried to reassure herself, "How could that be? Where would that despicable Luo Zhiheng get such a friend?"
She was in a panic when she heard Luo Zhiheng's words and was startled. At this moment, she naturally couldn't say that she had regained her memories; what if something amiss gave her away? Mu Yunhe wasn't easily fooled, especially given the deep bond between him and Luo Zhiheng. But if she didn't say she had regained her memories, she might continue to suffer the torment and persecution of that barbaric witch. Luo Ningshuang was truly terrified and furious. Suddenly, she felt like she was caught in a dilemma.
Seeing her pale face, Mu Yunhe said, "Don't be nervous, just tell me, has something come to mind?"
Seeing that Mu Yunhe didn't doubt or dislike her, Luo Ningshuang breathed a sigh of relief and said aggrievedly, "There are some blurry fragments, but they're not clear, and they're all from when I was little. There's only a little bit of it, and you're not in them. Yunhe, are you angry? You're still not in my memory? I didn't mean to."
Mu Yunhe shook his head and said, "No, it's already quite good that I have some memories."
Compared to Mu Yunhe's calmness, Xia Beisong was different. He excitedly grabbed Luo Ningshuang's wrist and said, "Do you remember things from when you were little? Do you remember me too? I'm your cousin, Aheng, do you remember me?"
Luo Ningshuang hesitated and shook her head. She actually wanted to nod, so she could better utilize Xia Beisong. But she was afraid Mu Yunhe would be angry and disgusted with her. After all, everyone knew Luo Zhiheng loved Mu Yunhe the most; why was she thinking of Xia Beisong first today, instead of her lover?
Another point Luo Ningshuang also thought was that saying this reminded her of something, something from her childhood, and it wouldn't easily give her away. Ideally, Mu Yunhe could get rid of this annoying barbarian chieftain as soon as possible; she didn't need their treatment.
To everyone's surprise, Luo Zhiheng said coolly from the side, "Oh my, it seems the witch doctor's treatment really works. Look, after just one treatment, she's already remembered something. Very good, very powerful. What do you think, sir? I didn't lie to you, did I? Now you can see the effect, right? Can you rest assured that you can entrust her to me for treatment?"
Mu Yunhe couldn't stand Luo Zhiheng's lazy and sarcastic demeanor, but he hoped that 'Luo Zhiheng' could get better soon, so he said with a somewhat gloomy expression, "Okay."
Luo Ningshuang was horrified, feeling a chill run down her spine. Her voice rose uncontrollably: "What do you mean? I don't accept it! I recovered on my own, it has nothing to do with her, and it has nothing to do with those barbarians. Yunhe, don't let them treat me! They all have ill intentions. Who would use such a terrible method to treat someone? That's clearly torture."
Luo Ningshuang ultimately dared not speak of the torment she had suffered that day, partly because she feared Mu Yunhe's disgust for her, and partly because she feared the barbaric female leader's revenge.
Luo Zhiheng was displeased. What displeased her most was that this despicable person actually called him Yun He! It truly sullied those two sacred words, which were as pure as clouds.
"How have I tormented you? If I tormented you, how could you possibly have any hope of recovery or any signs of improvement? You need to have evidence for your words, don't just make baseless accusations like this! I, Ruilin, am not someone you can slander." Luo Zhiheng said rudely.
Luo Ningshuang felt like she was going crazy. She couldn't contain her anger and said, "I was talking to my husband, not you. I was talking about that witch. What business is it of yours? Get out of my way!"
Luo Zhiheng swayed and looked like she was about to fall. Anyone with eyes could see that she was faking it. She didn't even bother to hide that she was putting on an act. But Mu Yunhe walked straight over, grabbed her arm, and with a cold face, practically lifted her up to make her stand up.
His movements were anything but gentle and friendly, yet beneath their seemingly rough exterior lay a tenderness that others couldn't comprehend. Luo Zhiheng's anger instantly subsided. She then leaned weakly and helplessly into Mu Yunhe's arms, her defenseless reliance and complete trust conveyed to him in that instant, powerfully and overwhelmingly telling him that she trusted him and depended on him!
Mu Yunhe couldn't quite describe his feelings at that moment; they were a jumbled mess. Although he felt a little embarrassed, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to push her away.
From an angle where Mu Yunhe couldn't see, Luo Zhiheng gave Luo Ningshuang a provocative and contemptuous smile, which made Luo Ningshuang's face turn deathly pale.
"How can you say it has nothing to do with me? I am that witch doctor, and I went to great lengths to heal you. If it weren't for me, would you remember even the slightest thing today? Don't be ungrateful, or you'll disgrace your title as the Lady Protector of the Nation! Oh dear, I forgot, you've lost your memory and don't know you're the Lady Protector of the Nation, do you?" Luo Zhiheng said lazily and sarcastically.
Luo Ningshuang was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. Her heart was roaring and howling like a storm: Why? Why is this happening? Why won't Mu Yunhe hug her now that she is Luo Zhiheng? Why doesn't Mu Yunhe treat her with the same intimacy and indulgence he showed to the past Luo Zhiheng? If all of this can be attributed to her being in a coma for three years and feeling somewhat estranged after waking up, then how does Mu Yunhe treat others? How can he be so intimate and affectionate with them?
That untamed vixen is utterly shameless, utterly devoid of any sense of propriety! She openly seduces men. Her behavior is wanton and utterly shameless. Yet, Mu Yunhe is so indulgent and affectionate towards such a despicable woman? What's going on? Where did things go wrong? Has Mu Yunhe's affections for Luo Zhiheng changed? She and Luo Zhiheng have the same face, so why doesn't Mu Yunhe see that gentle smile and ever-present, following gaze from Luo Zhiheng when he sees her? Why does Mu Yunhe feel an inexplicable sense of connection with this untamed vixen?
Overwhelmed by the joy of having obtained everything, Luo Ningshuang was finally brought to her senses by the stark contrast in treatment she received. With this comparison, she realized that she was not as special as some other woman in Mu Yunhe's presence.
This is the legendary, unforgettable, and undying love between Mu Yunhe and Luo Zhiheng.
If this love is something that anyone could easily give up, something that could distract Mu Yunhe and make him fickle and fall in love with someone else, then this love is just too ridiculous!
And this ridiculous scene was now unfolding right before her eyes. What terrified Luo Ningshuang was whether Mu Yunhe had truly changed his mind about Luo Zhiheng, and her most valuable asset—her face—was no longer effective? Or was it something else entirely?
Luo Ningshuang subconsciously revealed her true colors, using her weak and pitiful appearance to gain sympathy, and looked at Mu Yunhe with a wronged and delicate expression: "Yunhe, how could you hug her? Aren't you the one who loves me the most?"
Luo Zhiheng felt the embrace she was leaning on stiffen instantly. She couldn't hide her anger, yet she felt a deep sense of relief. No matter who she was, no matter what she looked like, Mu Yunhe couldn't resist her. Similarly, Mu Yunhe would subconsciously resist anyone who wasn't her, even if that person had a face similar to hers; they could never truly enter Mu Yunhe's heart. Although Mu Yunhe was no longer complete, he was still Mu Yunhe, and his love would never change. Zhiheng rose again.
That was loyalty etched into his soul, loyalty only to the woman he loved most!
Sensing Mu Yunhe's struggle, he hesitated, wanting to let go. Luo Zhiheng felt a warm sensation, yet she clung to his strong waist. Feeling his body stiffen even more, Luo Zhiheng laughed heartily: "The woman he loves most? Are you sure Mu Yunhe's most beloved woman is you?"
Luo Ningshuang was shocked, feeling that Luo Zhiheng's words were extremely profound and dangerous. She subconsciously put on a fierce face: "Of course, you love me the most!"
"Why?" Luo Zhiheng asked sarcastically, her eyes filled with provocation.
Luo Ningshuang was stunned by the question. She couldn't very well say it was because of the face that resembled Luo Zhiheng's, could she? In a daze, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and exclaimed, "Because I am Luo Zhiheng!"
For a moment, the entire hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. But the next instant, a woman's charming, clear, and melodious laughter rang out, gradually spreading and growing louder, as if telling everyone that the woman had heard something utterly ridiculous.
Because she is Luo Zhiheng! She is Luo Zhiheng? The person who once hated Luo Zhiheng so much is now claiming to be Luo Zhiheng. If she hates her so much, why does she insist on impersonating her at home? Staring at a name that isn't her own, living someone else's life—does that satisfy your twisted psychology, Luo Ningshuang?
Mu Yunhe's expression was unreadable. His gaze swept over Luo Ningshuang's pale and ashen face, and he finally softened his voice, gently pushing Luo Zhiheng away: "Alright, if you have nothing else to do, then you can leave. Or if you came here today to treat Aheng, then please continue treating Aheng."
Luo Ningshuang's expression finally softened. Seeing that Mu Yunhe still cared about Luo Zhiheng, she felt a surge of joy, yet also a sense of oppression and frustration. She actually wanted to say, "Because I am Luo Ningshuang, Mu Yunhe deeply loves me." But she knew that was impossible, at least for now. However, she would try her best to make Mu Yunhe fall in love with her.
Luo Zhiheng's expression also turned cold. She stood up straight and said in a low voice, "I came here today to treat her. As you have seen, my treatment has been quite effective for her. So, I will increase the intensity next. I have decided to take her out for treatment. After all, she has been bedridden for three years and needs to get closer to nature. I will hold the second treatment in the forest outside the city. You can pick me up tomorrow morning, and we will go together."
Mu Yunhe thought it made a lot of sense, so he nodded in agreement.
Ke Luo Ning Shuang was extremely dissatisfied. She hadn't expected that her careless words, spoken to extricate herself from a predicament, would become proof that this vixen was a skilled healer capable of curing her. She had truly shot herself in the foot. Somewhat embarrassed and angry, she said, "I won't go! I won't accept your treatment again. You disguised yourself like that to deceive us; who knows what your intentions were?"
Luo Ningshuang finally understood why the barbarian chieftain had come to help her. There's no such thing as unprovoked kindness or hatred. The female chieftain's attitude towards Mu Yunhe today made Luo Ningshuang realize that the female chieftain had taken a liking to Mu Yunhe. Treating her was merely a stepping stone; her true purpose was to get close to and curry favor with Mu Yunhe.
She was definitely up to no good! How dare she steal someone else's husband? Doesn't she fear divine retribution? How could she give the female leader the opportunity to continue getting close to and ingratiating herself with Mu Yunhe? It was even less likely that Mu Yunhe would develop any goodwill towards the female leader.
Luo Zhiheng said casually, "I am a witch doctor, and those clothes are witch doctor's clothes. I'm not going to treat you today, so why should I dress like that?"
The main reason was that Mu Yunhe had already recognized her as the leader of the barbarians, so there was no need for her to wear such ugly clothes anymore.
"You!" Luo Ningshuang exclaimed angrily. 17903752
Luo Zhiheng suddenly said to Mu Yunhe very solemnly, "Although I will still treat her, she has repeatedly spoken rudely to me and her behavior is truly despicable. Therefore, I will only continue to treat her on one condition. Otherwise, let her live like this for the rest of her life without remembering anything. I will no longer care about her."
Mu Yunhe frowned slightly, but when he looked at her, he lowered his head slightly, his gaze seemingly gloomy, but actually somewhat helpless. She was known for her eccentric and unpredictable temper, but he hadn't expected her to be this capricious. Yet, he inexplicably endured it: "What are the conditions?"
"Don't agree to anything she says! Don't agree to anything she says. My memory has returned a little, and it has nothing to do with her. I recovered it on my own," Luo Ningshuang shouted anxiously. She was terrified that Luo Zhiheng, that despicable vixen, would use this to make Mu Yunhe leave her.
Luo Zhiheng glanced at Luo Ningshuang with disdain, her voice suddenly turning cold and deep: "I want you to promise me that you will never call this woman Aheng again from now on! Whether in front of others or not, whether I am in front of you or not, you cannot call her Aheng! I don't need you to curse or swear, as long as you have a clear conscience. But if you dare to call her Aheng in private, and I find out, then I will not care about her life or death. Even if one day her inner demons devour her completely, don't come looking for me."
Luo Zhiheng spoke with such determination and seriousness, she was not joking at all. But such a request was truly unexpected, what kind of condition was this?
"Why did you bring up this condition?" Mu Yunhe was also hesitant. In his memory, Mu Yunhe used the affectionate name "Aheng" to refer to Luo Zhiheng. She was a very special person to him. If he wasn't allowed to call her that, Mu Yunhe would feel uncomfortable, and his expression towards Luo Zhiheng would be particularly cold and stern.
Luo Zhiheng raised her chin and said domineeringly, "I'm willing! Because I don't like you calling her that, you can't!"
She really is... arrogant and domineering!
Xia Beisong and Luo Ningshuang, who were standing to the side, both fell silent. Xia Beisong did not want to hear Mu Yunhe call Aheng so intimately, while Luo Ningshuang was reminded of that annoying woman, Luo Zhiheng, whenever she heard Aheng.
Mu Yunhe glanced at Luo Ningshuang and noticed that although she looked indignant, she didn't stop him. He had a strange feeling in his heart, as if it were dissatisfaction or anger. For his incomplete soul, those were intimate memories between Mu Yunhe and Luo Zhiheng. How could he easily let them go? But Luo Zhiheng didn't say anything to stop him. In her heart, life was more important than love.
Then why was Mu Yunhe willing to risk his life for Luo Zhiheng? Was their love fair?
"Are you going to agree or not?" Luo Zhiheng pressed impatiently.
Mu Yunhe seemed to feel a slight disappointment towards Luo Zhiheng, who had been in a coma for three years. Although he no longer had Mu Yunhe's love, he still felt deeply depressed and pained, and said coldly, "Fine!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiheng smiled, and Luo Ningshuang and Xia Beisong subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. However, Luo Ningshuang regretted it a moment later. By agreeing to Luo Zhiheng's request, wasn't that the same as agreeing to continue receiving Luo Zhiheng's treatment? Just as Luo Ningshuang was about to resist again, Luo Zhiheng had already entangled Mu Yunhe and walked away.
Luo Ningshuang was so angry she almost spat out blood. What was going on? How could Mu Yunhe be so close to other women? Leaving her here unattended? Wasn't she his beloved Luo Zhiheng?
Xia Beisong gently supported her and said, "Aheng, don't be sad. Even if Mu Yunhe doesn't call you Aheng anymore, you still have your brother Beisong."
"Brother Beisong, I don't want to go for treatment. That woman wants to kill me. She likes Mu Yunhe, so she wants me dead so she can take my place. I don't want to go. Please help me!" Luo Ningshuang pleaded desperately, as if she had grasped at the last straw.
But Xia Beisong, who doted on her, shook his head firmly this time and said, "No! I know your situation. The fact that you can remember things now must be related to that person. You must accept her treatment. Only in this way can you remember things as soon as possible."
Xia Beisong wondered why Mu Yunhe was so cold towards Aheng now. He treated her worse than any other woman. But Aheng remembering the past might actually benefit her; perhaps they could be together again in the future. As for the female leader, he could clearly see her designs on Mu Yunhe, and he was naturally happy for that. If Mu Yunhe couldn't resist falling for that passionate woman, then once Aheng regained her memories, given her strong personality, she would definitely hate Mu Yunhe and wouldn't want to be with him anymore. Then he could take Aheng away!
