261: Parting Ways For Now

Parting Ways For Now

The next day, Liu Rushuang and Han Moze parted ways again1

Liu Rushuang left the three clan masters and Little White Flower to White Cloud City on the dragon.

This time, nobody was dizzy, but instead, were all smiles.

Soon enough, they reached the city manor, where the green dragon found a secret spot to land. The group stepped off of the dragon.

Then, Liu Rushuang left them all to see Nangong Ba.

Nangong Ba was sitting in the house when he saw Liu Rushuang.

"Gem, you've come!"

Liu Rushuang heard the word, "Gem", and felt her heart tighten.

"From now on, just call me 'Shuang'er'," she told Nangong Ba flatly.[1]

A hint of sadness flashed in Nangong Ba's eyes, as he nodded and replied, "Alright."

"Nangong Ba, I've brought the divine lotus. Your illness can be cured," Liu Rushuang said with a smile.

Nangong Ba's eyes widened slightly. He never imagined that Gem would actually find the divine lotus. Rumors have it that the last sighting of the divine lotus on earth was over a thousand years ago.

"Big sis, you want me to heal that handsome big brother?" said Little White Flower with a bright smile.

"Mhm. Little White Flower, can you heal Nangong Ba now?" Liu Rushuang asked with a smile.

"Mhm. I can, but healing requires a really long time. It would be more convenient for big brother to lay on the bed," said Little White Flower.

Jin Yuyao walked up to them in delight. "I'll go call people to help you onto the bed."

Nangong Ba was supported up onto the bed by two servants. Little White Flower put both her hands on Nangong Ba's heart, then transferred the spiritual energy she gained from the divine pond.

Liu Rushuang and the others stood aside and waited.

Nangong Ba's slightly pale skin gradually turned a healthy fair color, and he was able to move his fingers.

Everyone was overjoyed!

After about an hour, Little White Flower only stopped when her skin had completely turned wrinkly.

"Little White Flower, are you alright?" Liu Rushuang asked anxiously.

Little White Flower forced a smile. "Big sis, I need to go heal at the divine pond for a few days, so I can't be with you for a while."

Liu Rushuang turned around to Little Green Snake with a worried look on her face. "Green, take Little White Flower to the divine pond. Wait for Little White Flower to completely heal, then come back."

"Yes milady. I'll take Little White Flower to the divine pond," replied Green. Then, he helped Little White Flower up and got ready to leave.

Nangong Ba stood up with a smile and cried, "Wait!"

Little Green Snake and Little White Flower looked over at Nangong Ba.

Nangong Ba briskly stood up. "To thank you both, what would you like in return? I'll give you whatever I can," he said.

Little White Flower shook her head and smiled. "No need to thank me, big brother! I've only just lost a bit of spiritual energy. I'll be alright, when I go back to recharge."

Nangong Ba nodded softly and didn't utter another word.

Little Green Snake helped Little White Flower out.

Liu Rushuang stroked her chin and sighed in admiration. What a great flower!

Nangong Ba turned and sincerely thanked Liu Rushuang. "Thank you Shuang'er! If there's anything you ever need, I'll definitely brave any adversities to make it happen!"

"You've said before that you're my friend and there's no need to say 'thanks' among friends!" Liu Rushuang smiled softly, as she shook her head.

Liu Rushuang said that and stepped outside with Little White Flower.

Little White Flower saw Liu Rushuang step outside and smiled brightly. "Big sis, see you later!"

Liu Rushuang shook her head and smiled. "See you later!'

Little Green Snake transformed into a green snake and Little White Flower climbed on board.

Then, the two flew into the blue sky and disappeared.

Liu Rushuang let out a subtle sigh. She'd better ride on horseback to the capital!

[1] frankly speaking, Shuang'er is endearing as well, probably less so than Gem (Bao'er/宝儿/darling treasure)
