Chapter 200
Chapter 200
Seeing that she had woken up, Changsheng visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and Nalan Jingwen could even see a few strands of hair on her forehead that were damp.
She stepped back slightly, the seriousness in her eyes fading, replaced by the unserious look that Nalan Jingwen was familiar with.
"I thought you'd be trapped inside and wouldn't be able to get out. I was even planning to throw your body out, since I don't keep useless people around."
Nalan Jingwen, unusually, did not argue with her and turned to look at the person beside him.
Liu Qishan was now lying quietly beside her, his features beautiful and within reach, showing no trace of the morbid madness he had displayed in the illusion.
It was the gentleness she knew well; whenever she was by his side, she could feel an unparalleled peace.
She simply couldn't imagine that such a gentle man would become like that because of her. Before this, he was so lively, cheerful, and vibrant.
She suddenly hesitated to reach out and touch him, and hurriedly turned around and stood up. Only then did she realize that she was holding a box in her hand, the very box she had dug out.
Chang Sheng's eyes flickered, and he reached out his hand towards her.
"give it to me."
Nalan Jingwen looked up at her, his eyes sharp and ruthless, his lips slightly parted, and when he spoke again, his voice was completely hoarse.
"Are you hiding something from me?"
Changsheng paused in mid-air, then withdrew his hand and put it behind his back, saying indifferently, "If you don't want to heal his eyes, then take him away."
Nalan Jingwen remained unmoved, his eyes reddening as he stared intently at her.
"Don't you intend to tell me how he went blind?"
She stood up and moved closer and closer to Changsheng. The space between them gradually narrowed and became cramped. The air suddenly became thin. Changsheng staggered a few steps and fell into a chair, a hint of anger in his eyes.
Nalan Jingwen paused slightly, looking into Changsheng's beautiful eyes. The image of her lying lazily on the recliner and her cunning, lively eyes involuntarily floated into his mind.
She had no martial arts skills whatsoever; she could kill him with the slightest effort, as easily as crushing an ant.
Changsheng looked at her, his tone now somber.
"Please think carefully, Your Highness. If you lay a hand on me, your little husband's eyes will never be healed."
Even now, in such a dangerous situation, Changsheng remains calm and threatens her expressionlessly.
Nalan Jingwen's lips curled up, his tone laced with undisguised sarcasm, "You made me go that way just so I could get these two things? If I'm not mistaken, these two things aren't even necessary to cure Liu Qishan's eyes, are they?"
Before this, Liu Qishan's eyes were still perfectly healthy. How come he has gone blind now?
She didn't believe that the person in front of her wasn't involved.
Changsheng didn't look at her again, but instead turned his head to look at Xue Qingheng, who had been standing silently to the side.
Are you just going to watch like this?
Xue Qingheng slightly raised her eyes, her indifferent gaze falling on Nalan Jingwen. Her pupils trembled slightly, and her eyes seemed to hold fragmented light, like a vast and boundless galaxy.
Nalan Jingwen didn't understand, nor did she want to understand, so she spoke up sarcastically.
"Is the Snow Kingdom Preceptor trying to stop me again? Is he planning to beat me half to death this time, or is he planning to kill me outright?"
She scoffed, a hint of madness flickering in her eyes.
"I know my own limitations. No matter what, I am no match for you. But I can hurt you once, and I can hurt you a second time. Want to try?"
Xue Qingheng pursed her pale lips, her brows furrowed slightly, and stepped forward.
Nalan Jingwen subconsciously tensed up, poised to strike, his eyes fixed on the silver-white figure.
Xue Qingheng drew closer and closer to her, and she could even smell the faint fragrance emanating from him, like snow lotus on a snow-capped mountain mixed with melting snow water.
He slowly raised his hand, and Nalan Jingwen had already gathered profound energy in his palm, waiting for him to make his move.
But those slightly cool hands landed on her hands, which were filled with profound energy, and silently brushed away her attack, then grasped her hand.
Nalan Jingwen was slightly taken aback, then tried to grab him, but he still managed to deftly deflect the attack.
Xue Qingheng pulled her aside, stood in front of Changsheng, and looked at her, gently shaking her head, "You must not hurt her."
His posture made it seem as if he were protecting his lover, if one ignored the somewhat helpless tone in his voice.
Although Nalan Jingwen didn't understand what their relationship was, he was certain they were not lovers.
Changsheng peeked out from behind Xue Qingheng, his eyes once again filled with a sly smile. "Are you still going to treat your little husband's eyes? If not, I'm leaving. I'm tired anyway."
As she spoke, she yawned, a glistening tear appearing at the corner of her eye, and a look of weariness settling over her face.
Nalan Jingwen didn't speak, but just stared at her, still clutching the box tightly in her hand. After a long standoff, she finally stepped back two steps, made room, and placed the box on the table.
She had no chance of winning against Xue Qingheng, so she wouldn't be foolish enough to confront him head-on.
Seeing this, Changsheng took the box, hugged it to her chest, and opened it. When she saw what was inside, her eyes lit up. Nalan Jingwen could clearly sense the joy emanating from her, like a child who had received candy.
Changsheng closed the box again and said to Nalan Jingwen, "You can leave now. I'm about to start treating his eyes, and I don't want to be disturbed by anyone."
Nalan Jingwen frowned slightly, gave her a deep look, and didn't spare a glance for Xue Qingheng before turning around and pushing the door open to leave.
The door was closed, isolating everything inside. She looked up and saw the bright sun shining down, but it was very dazzling. A faint halo of light enveloped the courtyard, which should be a barrier set up by Xue Qingheng.
Nalan Jingwen raised her hand to shield her eyes from the sunlight, her hand slightly damp. She was somewhat dazed, yet she laughed, a bitter laugh.
The smile on Liu Qishan's face as he lay in the coffin kept flashing through her mind—a smile that was both satisfied and insane, filled with unwavering determination. She couldn't imagine what Liu Qishan would have become if he hadn't found her.
Will I become a walking corpse, wandering in this world?
Her Liu Qishan, how could she let go of it?
Why can't Liu Qishan see?
What happened in between? And how did he come to know Changsheng?
Nalan Jingwen had a vague guess in his mind, but he would only know the truth once Liu Qishan woke up.
She stood guard at the door, like a statue. It was unclear how long she had been standing there. Without using her Xuan power to support herself, her legs were slightly stiff, but she still refused to move an inch.
As the sun, which had been high in the sky, gradually began to set in the west, and the sky was tinged with rouge-like red clouds, the door behind him was pushed open with a sound, and a cold voice came from behind him.
"You can go in."

I've revised it countless times over the past two weeks, and it's been reviewed several times but still hasn't passed. They say it's too explicit and includes incestuous content. Many chapters have been completely rewritten. I really don't know what to do. This book already had very little traffic and a very small audience, relying solely on a little bit of traffic each day to keep it afloat. Now it's been blacklisted and I've lost everything. I can only try my best to finish the ending and give the female lead a proper conclusion. My next book will have to follow the trend; writing what I like really doesn't pay the bills. Thank you all for liking this book.
