Living Is Truly Wonderful

"Stepmother brought people to seize you..."

Nan Rou wiped away her tears and told him everything that had happened.

"I'm sorry. I dragged you into this." Qin Guan felt somewhat guilty after hearing it.

"No, I'm the one who dragged you into this!" Nan Rou hurriedly shook her head, then carefully asked, "Did you really kill Hu Liu?"

"Mm, I killed him. He disrespected you, so I killed him." Qin Guan nodded.

At this, Nan Rou's face turned deathly pale with fright. She hurriedly pushed Qin Guan. "Go, quickly! You have to go!"

When Stepmother said Qin Guan had beaten Hu Liu to death, she had not quite believed it. She thought Stepmother was trying to scare her; after all, Qin Guan had not yet married her, and he posed a threat to Nan Qiao.

But now that she heard Qin Guan admit that he had truly killed Hu Liu, panic immediately welled up in her heart.

"I said I would marry you, and I definitely will. Don't be afraid!" Qin Guan patted Nan Rou reassuringly.

Hearing Qin Guan's words, warmth filled Nan Rou's heart. Yet she said anxiously,

"Hu Liu was Stepmother's man, and he was Yang Ao's cousin too. This is going to be troublesome!"

"Who is Yang Ao?" Qin Guan asked curiously.

"Yang Ao is Stepmother's biological nephew. Nan Qiao and I call him Cousin," Nan Rou said.

The corner of Qin Guan's mouth twitched. What was all this cousin nonsense...

As if recalling something, Nan Rou worriedly added,

"Yang Ao is still in seclusion cultivating. Once he comes out and learns that you killed his cousin, he won't let you off!"

"What cultivation does he have that makes him so formidable?" Qin Guan asked with a smile.

"The Fifth Layer of Qi Refining, and he's also a Sword Cultivator. His aptitude is no worse than my younger sister's!" Nan Rou said with utter seriousness.

Qin Guan scratched his head after hearing that. A little Sword Cultivator at the Fifth Layer of Qi Refining—even if he stood still and let him stab away as he pleased, the man would not be able to break his defenses...

Seeing Nan Rou worrying about him so relentlessly, Qin Guan took her icy little hand and said solemnly,

"Do you know that your future husband is very good at fighting? Cousin or whatever, I can take them down one punch at a time."

"But, but..."

Nan Rou still wanted to say something, but Qin Guan hurriedly said, "Don't think so much. Come on, I'll detoxify you first."

After saying that, Qin Guan pulled Nan Rou into the wood shed.

Once he lit the firewood, the pitch-black wood shed immediately became bright and warm.

Seeing tear tracks covering Nan Rou's cheeks and worry filling those beautiful eyes of hers, so delicate and pitiable, Qin Guan could not help but feel distressed.

"Warm yourself by the fire first. I'll decoct the medicine. Once you finish taking it, I'll treat you."

As he spoke, Qin Guan began bustling about in the wood shed. He planned to have Nan Rou take that Hundred-Year Blood Ginseng first, replenish her Blood Qi, and then remove the Cold Poison.

Watching Qin Guan busily working for her by the stove, Nan Rou's gaze suddenly grew complicated.

She had originally prepared herself for death, but after meeting Qin Guan, a fear of death had suddenly arisen in her heart.

Though she had known Qin Guan for less than a day, she could not bear to let go now. If she could live, she truly wanted to marry the man before her, care for him, serve him, wash his clothes, cook his meals, give him...

As she thought on, Nan Rou suddenly shook her head hard, then smiled bitterly. She was about to die, yet she was still thinking about such things.

Half an hour later, Qin Guan finally finished decocting the blood ginseng.

"Here, it's not hot anymore. Drink it while it's warm." Qin Guan carried a bowl of ginseng soup over to Nan Rou.

"Alright." Without even looking, Nan Rou drank the entire bowl of blood ginseng soup in no time.

After drinking it, Nan Rou immediately felt warmth spread through her entire body. Her cheeks, once white as paper, gradually regained their color.

Seeing that Nan Rou looked much more spirited, Qin Guan took out the Ice Silver Flower.

"Once you swallow this, the Cold Poison in your body will be cleared away. It may hurt a little when I treat you later, but that's all a normal reaction. Don't resist."

"Alright." Nan Rou nodded softly.

It was not that she believed Qin Guan could truly cure her, but that she did not want to disappoint his good intentions.

Very soon, Nan Rou chewed up the Ice Silver Flower and swallowed it.

The instant the Ice Silver Flower went down her throat, Nan Rou felt as though her body had fallen into an ice pit, and she began shivering from the cold.

Seeing this, Qin Guan gently pressed his palm against the top of Nan Rou's head. His mighty Gang Qi slowly entered her body, enveloping her Internal Organs and meridians.

This Ice Silver Flower grew year-round in lands of extreme cold and could be called one of the coldest things in the world. Even cultivators with robust meridians dared not consume it lightly. If not for Qin Guan's formidable Gang Qi protecting her body, Nan Rou would likely have soon become an ice sculpture.

"Ugh!"

As the chill of the Ice Silver Flower collided with the Cold Poison inside Nan Rou, she let out a pained moan.

After sensing the Ice Silver Flower's chill, the Cold Poison within her seemed to have encountered an enemy, and it immediately began rampaging wildly through Nan Rou's body.

After A Cup of Tea, Nan Qiao spat out a large mouthful of black blood. In the blink of an eye, that black blood congealed into a chunk of black ice.

Seeing the Cold Poison that had seeped into her bones being forced out, Qin Guan hurriedly activated his Gang Qi to drive away the Ice Silver Flower's chill.

Nan Rou's little mouth opened involuntarily, and a stream of white icy breath slowly escaped her lips.

Before long, Qin Guan withdrew his hand and smiled. "How do you feel?"

Nan Rou opened her eyes and sensed the changes within her body. A moment later, a brilliant gleam suddenly burst forth from the depths of her eyes. In disbelief, she said, "It's really cured!"
