Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 341: Chapter 341: Charming Ghost
 

Feng Liang, who had been following closely by his side, steadied him in time.

“Sir, Sir, what’s wrong with you?”

Chu Yuntian managed to gather his energy and sat down beside him, still looking up at the sky.

“Feng Liang, did you see something just now?”

Feng Liang glanced at the dark night sky and nodded.

“It seemed like a strange cloud.”

Chu Yuntian shook his head.

What kind of cloud was that!

It was clearly some sort of flying object.

During his imprisonment by Hu Keqing, he had seen it before while taking a walk during the day out of boredom.

Once, he had even seen a shadow of a person on it.

“Feng Liang, did that cloud just now come from the direction of the Qi Family’s pharmacy?”

Feng Liang squinted and thought for a moment.

“It seemed so.”

As he said this, he eagerly spoke, “Sir must be worried about Miss Qi Yue, right? I heard that things have also been tidied up over there, and she should be free now. How about I go and invite Miss Qi to come and see you? Since we ran out of the previous medicine, let Miss Qi…”

“That’s enough,” Chu Yuntian said, lifting a hand with some difficulty, “No need, I am very well.”

He paused, then added, “The child Yueyue has been through enough these past few days; let’s not disturb her, and let her rest well tonight.”

“So, you’re really alright, Sir?”

Chu Yuntian waved his hand, looking at his loyal subordinate with a rare stern expression.

“Can’t you see I’m quite well now?”

Feng Liang, seeing that his spirits really had improved, chuckled, “Then let’s wait until tomorrow. I’ll visit the pharmacy and invite Miss Qi over then. Sir has been breaking his heart over the people of Longnan; your body must not suffer any mishap!”

Chu Yunfei was silent again.

He just stared blankly at the sky.

Ever since he gained his freedom, his heart had become more and more restless.

It felt as if a sealed-off part of his heart had been forcefully ripped open.

Although it wasn’t painful, the chilling, unsheltered sensation was terrifying.

It had been ten years.

He hadn’t thought he would recall that scene from those years ago.

He drew his blade, sheathed it back, and the warm blood had splashed all over his hands.

But that person was too formidable; even with the waist pierced through, he stood firm, issuing two orders to the soldiers.

In panic, he gave that man another stab.

What was he thinking at that time?

It seemed like “I can’t believe it; with both sides of his waist stabbed through, let’s see if he could still live.”

Yes, he was a coward.

Even his sneak attacks were aimed at the weakest spots.

Back then, Hu Chengxuan had given him a very potent poison, saying that after drinking it, there was nothing else to worry about.

But that man never drank water before a battle, so it was not like he could pry his mouth open and feed it to him!

So, stabbing him in the back was most appropriate, and he didn’t even need to look at the man’s face.

Thinking about it now, that man must have wanted to ask why, right?

…

“Sir, it’s getting late; we should head back,”

Feng Liang’s concerned voice interrupted his thoughts; he fell silent for a moment and finally rose from the chair.

“Feng Liang, what are people saying about Yueyue these days?”

“There’s a lot being said. Everyone says Miss Qi Yue practices medicine miraculously, like a Divine Doctor descended to earth, with a courage matching men, even surpassing the Great General Qi a great deal!”

“Oh, anything else? I heard some people debating whether the current Qi Yue is really the Great General’s daughter or some sort of magical spirit or ghost?”

“Sir, those are all rumors; how could you believe that? Miss Qi Yue has been accompanied by people from the Capital City to Longnan, and nothing improper about her has surfaced. There’s only one thing that’s quite suspicious…”

“And what is that?”

“Of course, it’s just how capable she is; she knows astronomy above and geography below and even makes weapons. They say as a child, she was taken under the wing of a highly mysterious master and learned all sorts of skills. But because she was young, she bore it patiently until now, gradually revealing her capabilities…”

“…”

If Qi Yue were here right now, hearing this conversation, she would definitely laugh and then boast about herself greatly afterward.

This is how things were.

Previously, the common folk had spread her story far and wide, with all kinds of supernatural tales emerging; she had found it upsetting.

Thus, she also concocted a set of statements and had people spread them in all the major teahouses.

Of course, she wasn’t foolish enough to totally deny everything.

No matter what, her excellence was undeniable, so she might as well lay everything out in the open and simply admit it.

She was the most extraordinary genius in the history of Beiyuan…

As for guiding public opinion, as a modern person, couldn’t she outplay these ancients?

She intended to make anything she did seem natural.

Who cares about some secret weapons? If they didn’t exist in this world, they were surely invented by her, Qi Yue!

Meanwhile, Qi Yue was lying on the couch, writing a letter.

It was the second day since Hei San and Hei Shun had left, and she reckoned they should have arrived in Yecheng by now.

In another two days, they should be sending a letter back.

She really had no idea what Zhao Xiyan’s little note would say to her this time.

She smiled, set down her pen, opened a box in front of her and took out a slip of paper.

Looking at it, she smiled again.

“The autumn wind in the parasol trees is rustling, outside the lonely window I wonder if it’s you.”

She had wanted to show off her literary talent and write a few lines of romantic poetry in response to his, but although her mind was full of verses from Tang and Song dynasties, she couldn’t think of an appropriate one at the moment.

“This is a bit disappointing,” Qi Yue muttered, grabbing a piece of paper and writing, “It might as well be the Charming Ghost.”

After laughing for a while and feeling it wasn’t quite suitable, she casually crumpled it into a ball and tossed it aside, grabbed another sheet of paper, and was about to write when she heard what seemed like a soft chuckle outside the door.

The sound was like a gentle breeze through a bamboo flute, clear and boundless, making her heart itch and her bones soften, until she momentarily felt infatuated.

She had just written about the Charming Ghost, and now a male ghost had appeared?

The voice sounded a bit like Zhao Xiyan’s.

But he was far away in Yecheng, and with Yecheng itself in a time of crisis, he surely wouldn’t have come here.

After listening attentively for a while, there was no other sound outside, only the rustling wind.

Qi Yue nodded to herself.

“Indeed, the elderly always say one shouldn’t talk about ghosts and such at night, and they’re right.”

Thus, feeling lucky she had discarded that Charming Ghost note, she began to write another letter.

She had initially planned to sleep for a bit, having already changed into her clothes, but thinking that she would have to make a trip to the Hu Residence in the middle of the night, she decided not to sleep.

She feared she wouldn’t wake up after sleeping poorly these last few days.

Having finished the letter, the timing would be just about right to visit the Hu Residence and then come back to sleep.

But Zhao Xiyan outside the window didn’t know, nor was he inclined to find out about her calculated plan.

His sudden visit was intended as a surprise for Qi Yue, but he didn’t expect to be captivated by the person lying on the couch first.

Through the slit of the window frame, he could see Qi Yue lying on the couch, her bare feet crossed and constantly swinging.

Her wide robe had slipped down, revealing half of her jade-like lower legs, which dazzled him so much he could hardly keep his eyes open.

Looking up further, he saw a delicate and charming waistline teasing him from inside the robe…

His mind thundered, and he quickly turned his face away, daring not to look any longer.

Although the two of them were bound to marry eventually, there were still some things that he couldn’t even think about before they were wed.

It wasn’t that he was exceptionally virtuous, it was mainly that once he started thinking about it, he couldn’t stop himself.

He steadied his spirit slightly and raised his hand to knock on the window.

“Yueyue…”

Inside, a flurry of noises followed by the excited voice of Qi Yue could be heard.

“Zhao Xiyan?”

Then, the door was pulled open with a swoosh, and a warm body rushed into his arms, her arms hooking around his neck.

Almost on reflex, he held her tight in his embrace.

Bowing his head, he captured the long-missed rose lips with his own.
