Chapter 288 The Young Lady's Illness

Try to find a solution? Get pregnant?
"Miss, are you sure you're not having nightmares because you're overthinking things?"

Luo Zijun thought it was outrageous.

Just because of a few vague and unreal dreams, would someone really ask to get an injection?

This doesn't fit the image of a young lady!
Bai Meixue said with certainty, "It was indeed a dream, but I'm sure that bad people are coming to find me."

Luo Zijun asked, "Is the opponent very powerful?"

Bai Meixue nodded.

Luo Zijun said, "Lin'an City is heavily guarded now, with patrols everywhere. The Bai family also has so many guards. They shouldn't dare to come, right? Also, does Miss know why they came looking for you?"

Bai Meixue seemed dazed for a moment, then shook her head.

Luo Zijun then asked, "What does the other party look like? What is their name? What is their cultivation level? Do they have any helpers?"

He asked a series of questions.

But Miss Bai just shook her head blankly, as if she knew nothing.

This is difficult to handle.

"I think Miss could try going out more during the day, going shopping with friends. Or, I could prescribe some calming and brain-boosting medicine for her?"

Luo Zijun said cautiously.

Bai Meixue looked at him and said, "You don't believe me?"

Luo Zijun said, "I believe it, but only in this matter..."

"Calming the nerves and nourishing the brain? Are you saying I'm lacking in brainpower?"

Miss Bai seemed a little angry, glaring at him with her eyes wide open, her full chest heaving with rage, a magnificent sight beneath her thin gauze dress.

Luo Zijun didn't dare to look too much and looked out the window, saying, "It's just medication for insomnia. If I sleep until dawn, I shouldn't have these nightmares anymore."

Miss Bai didn't say anything more, stared at him for a while, and then looked out the window.

At this moment, the night outside the window gradually faded away.

Snowflakes drifted down from the sky, turning everything into a white expanse.

"It's probably because I've been too tired lately and thinking too much that I had that nightmare."

After a long while, Bai Meixue murmured.

Luo Zijun looked at her and said, "If Miss is really scared, you can have Fenfen or Baibai come and keep you company tonight."

Bai Meixue watched the snowflakes slowly falling outside the window and said nothing more.

Upon seeing this, Luo Zijun took her leave.

After leaving the room, he secretly let out a breath.

Miss Bai suddenly called him over in the middle of the night, which had already put him on guard. And then she suddenly said those things: "Find a way to get me pregnant..."

If he were truly foolish enough to be seduced, he would immediately swallow hard and nod in agreement: "Yes, Miss, I can get you pregnant right now..."

Haha, they've probably fallen for it.

Based on his understanding of Miss Bai since their marriage, he knew she would never say such things casually, and she wasn't that kind of person.

Therefore, there must be a conspiracy!
As for what kind of conspiracy it was, that remains unknown.

Perhaps she just couldn't sleep and was deliberately teasing him to see him make a fool of himself; or perhaps she wanted to test whether he coveted her body.

Hmph, he won't fall for it!

He has no shortage of women around him now, and even if she is as beautiful as an angel, he doesn't care!
Moreover, he had just finished fighting with two young girls tonight, and was now in a state of perfect tranquility, so he was naturally not tempted.

Cultivation is important!

Freedom is important!

Back in the room, I snuggled into the warm blankets, hugged myself on both sides, and went back to sleep.

"Shh!"

After dawn, he ate breakfast and then went to the backyard to cultivate.

A strong wind, carrying snowflakes, swirled around him like a tornado, moving around the backyard.

At noon.

He stepped out into the snow, bought a steaming hot lunch on the street, and arrived at Baoan Hall.

I upset my senior sister yesterday, so I must apologize today.

Of course, he also wanted to ask Miss Bai if it was normal to have frequent, bizarre nightmares.

In his view, this was not normal.

After all, he cultivated his divine soul and knew that many nightmares were abnormal. But Miss Bai was different. In her previous life, she was a white snake, and he often dreamed of white snakes during that time. So he felt that there shouldn't be any major problems.

Covered in snow and wind, I entered the shop.

Inside the counter, the senior sister was sitting there in a daze, wearing the snow-white fox fur coat he had given her, which made her delicate face look even more aloof, beautiful, and charming.

Luo Zijun took out lunch and placed it in front of her, while the rest was placed on the table in the corner.

Qingwen came in from the backyard carrying a pot. When she saw him, she glared at him but ignored him.

The girl was wearing a green jacket and skirt, with many small braids tied with red ribbons at her temples. She swayed as she walked, looking quite cute. Her delicate cheeks were rosy from the cold, but she still looked pretty and charming. Her chest was also beginning to develop.

But his temper remains as bad as ever.

"Have a meal."

Luo Zijun, disregarding past grievances, invited her to dinner.

Although this girl has a bad temper, she is straightforward, has no ulterior motives, and is very loyal. Moreover, when he was slandered, she was the first to stand up for him, and he has always remembered that.

"Humph."

Qingwen snorted, went to boil water, and then said, "Young Master, please don't bring your own food anymore. It's very expensive to buy outside. We'll cook for ourselves." Luo Zijun said, "Why don't you go to the Grand View Garden and find a maid to cook and do laundry? You probably can't manage it all by yourself."

Then she whispered, "Doing rough work all the time will make your fingers thick. Your hands are so beautiful..."

Qingwen blushed and immediately shouted loudly towards the counter, "Miss, the young master is flirting with me!"

No! I didn't!

Luo Zijun was startled.

If other maids heard this, they would blush and leave quickly with a guilty conscience, but this girl was different; she actually complained directly.

Su Qingling looked over coldly.

Luo Zijun quickly went over and said, "I was just concerned about that girl, I didn't mean to flirt with her, she misunderstood."

With a gloating expression, Qingwen took her lunch and went to the inner room with a smile.

"Senior sister, I have something to ask you."

Luo Zijun quickly changed the subject, asking about Miss Bai's nightmares.

“I have a friend who has been having nightmares lately, always dreaming about all sorts of weird things. These past few days she's been saying that she's dreaming that bad people are trying to kidnap her…”

Su Qingling lowered her head and flipped through the book, her face expressionless, it was unclear whether she was listening.

After Luo Zijun finished speaking, she waited for a long time. Seeing that Luo Zijun did not speak, she was about to continue asking when Luo Zijun suddenly raised her head and asked, "Who is your friend?"

Luo Zijun did not hide anything and said, "The eldest daughter of the Bai family is Bai Meixue."

Su Qingling stared at him and asked, "Your wife?"

Luo Zijun looked embarrassed, neither admitting nor denying it, and said, "She was very scared and spoke with great seriousness. I also felt that something was wrong, but I didn't know why, so I could only comfort her. Senior sister, do you think she might be ill?"

Su Qingling stared at him for a while, then said in a calm tone, "He probably has a terminal illness and won't live past next year."

Luo Zijun: "..."

The New Year is almost here. If I don't live past next year, does that mean I won't live past a month? This girl is actually cursing people...

"Senior sister, don't joke around, I'm seriously asking for your guidance."

Luo Zijun said solemnly.

Su Qingling narrowed her eyes, her pretty face cold as she said, "Could it be that she made it up on purpose, wanting you to sleep with her?"

Luo Zijun was speechless: "How could that be? Miss Bai is not that kind of person, and she doesn't even like me. Why would she want me to sleep with her?"

Su Qingling said, "How do you know she doesn't like you? Wasn't she disfigured?"

Luo Zijun hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "The disfigurement is fake, Senior Sister. You must not tell anyone else at this time. I've only told you. You can't even tell Master."

Su Qingling raised an eyebrow slightly: "Is she very beautiful?"

Luo Zijun said, "She is indeed very beautiful, but compared to Senior Sister, she is definitely not as good."

Su Qingling stared at him coldly, her gaze flickering for a moment, and said, "Take me to see her, and I'll take a look at her."

"what?"

Luo Zijun was taken aback upon hearing this, and quickly said, "Senior sister, I was just asking casually. It's not too serious, you don't need to go see a doctor."

Su Qingling said coldly, "What, is she someone you can't show your face to, or do you not want me to see her?"

Luo Zijun said, "Of course not, it's just that Miss Bai never sees outsiders, nor does she see other doctors... Senior Sister, the Bai family must keep Miss Bai's disfigurement a secret and not let anyone know, otherwise, the Bai family will face annihilation. Therefore, I cannot bring anyone to see her."

Su Qingling said, "She can wear a veil; I won't look at her face."

Luo Zijun still looked troubled: "But..."

Su Qingling said calmly, "Those nightmares you described are not normal. If she really has a terminal illness, aren't you afraid of becoming a widow?"

Luo Zijun's lips twitched, and she said, "It's not that serious, is it?"

"up to you."

Su Qingling said no more, lowered her head and continued flipping through the book, saying expressionlessly, "I forgot, she has a beautiful younger sister. If she suddenly died, you should be very happy, right?"

Luo Zijun immediately said, "Senior sister, you can't joke like that."

He thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go back and ask Miss Bai. If she agrees, I'll take you there to see her. If she doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do."

Judging from her medical skills that brought Lin Daiyu back to life, Senior Sister is indeed very capable; she might even be able to diagnose Miss Bai's illness.

Of course, he couldn't let anything happen to Miss Bai.

Even without the White Snake mission, Miss Bai had been kind to him and was his formally married wife, so he naturally couldn't just stand by and watch her die.

"Senior sister, I'll go back and ask right away."

Luo Zijun did not linger any longer and immediately left Bai'an Hall, braving the wind and snow to return to the Bai residence.

As he walked into the alley leading to the Bai residence, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure walking from the direction of the Bai residence and turning into the alley leading to the street on the right.

The figure was dressed in a black dress, draped in a black cloak, wearing a hat and a black veil. She was tall and slender, with her head down. She quickly turned into the alley on the right and disappeared.

When Luo Zijun first saw it, she felt a sense of familiarity, but upon closer inspection, she couldn't recall where she had seen it before.

When he reached the alleyway on the right, the figure had already disappeared.

Who is it?
He racked his brains trying to remember everyone he knew, but still couldn't recall anyone.

Strange, no wonder it's someone from those forgotten memories?

With doubts in his heart, he continued walking towards the Bai residence.

At that moment, the tall figure in the black dress silently reappeared in the alley where she had just disappeared.

"Is it him?"

She slightly raised her head, revealing a pair of scarlet and eerie pupils.
