“I’ve been busy with the matters of the manor, that’s why I couldn’t come see you,” Feng Shen’s reply was impeccable as well.
In light of their very special connection, their style of interaction remains stagnant at this level – the very same type the lad uses towards everyone else.
“Feng Shen, is there a reason that you are seeking me today then?” Stunning in her eyes, those eyelashes were fluttering with anticipation like a butterfly swooping through the air, gorgeous and divine.
Xue Pian Ran knows her fiancé well, hence the reason why she could tell the boy didn’t come just for her. It’s too unusual and out of character.
Take the number of frequency Feng Shen visits the Dan Palace for example. Ever since he started to visit Da Xia, the boy would only return for a brief period once a year and even then, his target of visitation limits to Master Cheng Hong Ru only for a chess game.
“It seems your ability to read the future has once again improved, I can’t hide anything from you,” donning a mild smile, the boy gets straight to the point, “I am here to seek a Nirvana Heart Lotus from you.”
“Is your cold syndrome getting worse again?” Xue Pian Ran’s soft delicate hand inexplicably makes a grab for the boy’s hand out of worry.
Sadly, the emotions apparently didn’t get through to him. Wrinkling that brow, Feng Shen hurriedly retracts his hand from her and causes the girl to flutter with disappointment in those eyelashes.
Feng Shen is still the same as ever, always so indifferent and cold to everyone.
“It is not for myself, the Lotus is meant for a friend of mine. That person is currently suffering from a serious injury that requires the flower for healing.” Without batting an eyelash, Feng Shen directly states his reason for coming.
Xue Pian Ran was a very smart girl. Although she’s very curious about this specific friend mentioned by her fiancé, she’s not going to pry knowing it would only annoy the boy.
A smart woman would always wait for their man to tell them, not demand such knowledge. That has always been the iron clad rule of a proper wife since ancient times.
“Feng Shen, you know it as well that the Nirvana Heart Lotus is very rare and precious. Even if I am the Sacred Maiden, it would still be very difficult get my hands on one.” Slow and steady in her words, she pays close attention to her fiancé’s expression for any sign of change, “Is that friend of yours that important to you?”
“It’s very important.”
Towards that last sentence, the girl was definitely not taking it so well. Nevertheless, she gnashes her teeth and went to the back where the flower should be. What else was she supposed to do here, cry out and raise an argument?
Minutes later, Xue Pian Ran returns with a box in hand.
“Thank you.” Ready to receive the box just then, Feng Shen suddenly stiffens up when the girl refused to relent the item.
“Feng Shen, can you come see me more often while you are back home?” Blushing in her cheeks, this most holiest of all the maidens in this palace was rather true to her girlish nature.
That voice, that pleading, anyone would’ve been moved surely. However, silence hangs in the air without a proper response from the man himself.
Though somewhat saddened over the unresponsive answer, she nevertheless hands over the box with reluctance in her eyes. There’s nothing she could do now if the other party remains unwilling.
“Your Grace, you are too obedient to His Highness. It was so difficult for you to harvest that Nirvana Heart Lotus. Furthermore, Master Hong Ru had intended to use it to help you break into the senior alchemist level when its time.” Disgruntled over the maltreatment by the prince, one of the maids in service to Xue Pian Ran actively makes a protest.

“A Nirvana Dan pill can be refined again when it’s gone, but there’s only one Feng Shen in this world. I’m sure there must be a very good reason for why he would go so far for that friend of his.”
“I hope that would be the case, then His Highness would be able to hurry up and marry our Sacred Maiden back into his home.” The little fun jab instantly earns the maid the rolling eye from the subject.
But all of a sudden, Xue Pian Ran seems to have remembered something crucial and got all urgent in her demeanor: “Oh no, because of how happy I was earlier I forgot to tell Feng Shen something critically important about the Nirvana Heart Lotus. Hurry, we must stop him before it’s too late.”
Meanwhile back outside the Dan Palace, Mr. Mu was already waiting beside the carriage for his young lord.
“Your Highness, wouldn’t this be bad if Miss Pian Ran learns of what you intend to do with the lotus flower? Or are you intending to take them both…” Unable to hold back his thoughts, the elder finally speaks up out of worry.
While in North Qing, even royalty must pay heed to the influence of the Dan Palace, hence why he would be so worried about what the young lad was doing.
“Teacher!” Feng Shen’s volume suddenly rose somewhat, indicating his own emotions right now. But before he continues, the lad abruptly lowers his voice again until it was but a whisper: “Back then, I’ve always thought that I’m a person without desire… But now that I’ve found the one, I’ve come to quickly realize how narrow my heart truly is. It cannot accommodate another inside. To me, Pian Ran is only a sister…” Then before he could say more, the sudden clamoring of footsteps had interrupted him.
Bristly turning around towards the source, that’s when he saw Xue Pian Ran standing there, eyes stunned and terrified with a broken smile.
“Feng Shen…. I forgot to tell you. In a few days it there will be a palace banquet, I’m hoping you can be my partner when the time comes.” She waits, hoping for an answer, any answer will do.
“Pian Ran, you sought me only because you want to invite me to the palace banquet?” Facing the girl that’s supposed to be his partner, Feng Shen’s perennial ice-cold face had inexplicably made the maiden nervous and uncomfortable like a ominous thing was about to happen.
“Wait, you don’t need to reply to me right away about the banquet. Also…. The Nirvana Heart Lotus is a pure Yang flower. When using it for treatment, it’s best you find a man with a high level of cultivation to help support you on the side. The results will be better that way.”
Note: Yin stands for something cold like the female constitution while Yang stands for heart and male constitution.
“Thank you for your reminder. Since this is the case then I’ll be leaving first.” Giving a slight nod of his head, Feng Shen turns away without ever answering whether or not he will attend the palace banquet that’s coming up.
“Your Grace, why didn’t you tell His Highness that the flower must be paired together with an Ice Dragon Whisker for use? What if the patient is a female, wouldn’t it be….” The maid behind the Sacred Maiden sounded worried and confused.
Her Grace is highly proficient in medicine, there’s no way she wouldn’t have known. Why didn’t she bring up this fact just now with the Phoenix Lord?
“His friend… is a woman.” Xue Pian Ran’s voice no longer carried the gentle and delicate tone of a maiden. Instead, there’s only a hard and indifferent voice.
There’s no fault in my intuition, Feng Shen has changed.
