Chapter 64

When Cheng Nuo said this, Yu Yue suddenly raised his head, with an obvious shocked expression.

However, when he recovered, he immediately jumped out of bed, put on the robe and soon disappeared. It turned out that Yu Yue’s cultivation was not weak.

Cheng Nuo was stunned and worried. Since he was the bait to bring Bai Rui back, it shouldn’t be so important whether he was male or female? Just now, he couldn’t pretend to be a male to burst chrysanthemums, right? He was really not interested in men there…

After being interrupted like this, he couldn’t sleep anymore. He put on his clothes and was ready to sit up and cultivate for a while. But the physical elemental energy had been in operation for less than two weeks when his shoulder was pressed by a hand as cold as ice.

Cheng Nuo’s heart jumped heavily. He raised his head and saw Bai Mu’s sharp golden eyes staring at him.

Although he had spent more than ten days with Bai Mu along the way, Cheng Nuo really didn’t have any conversations with him other than reporting when he needed to go to the lavatory. He looked over as calmly as possible and said, “what are you doing?”

Bai Mu turned around and slowly walked away a few steps, then said to Yu Yue and Su Rong behind him, “check.”

Cheng Nuo was stunned. Was this to check his gender? Seeing the two females step forward to undress him, he said coldly, “I’ll do it myself.”

Shit, what a distinguished guest! Laozi will take that as a visit to the public bathhouse!

He calmly undressed and stripped naked, then said coldly, “have you checked it?”

Yu Yue nodded and said respectfully, “Eldest young master, this distinguished guest is indeed a female.”

Cheng Nuo sneered and quickly put on his inner clothes. He wanted to see what Bai Mu was going to do.

Yu Yue and Su Rong bowed towards him and slowly retreated while Bai Mu stayed in the room.

Cheng Nuo didn’t bother to pay attention to him. He jumped into bed and closed his eyes to make it look like he was going to sleep. His heart was slanderous. Shit, if the guests were males they would send someone to sleep with him. The females would not have such a treatment, right?

Bai Mu stood there motionless without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something, Cheng Nuo’s heart was worried. Later, Bai Mu finally left, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Bai Rui had such two unbelievable brothers; not running away from home would be strange, right?

He suddenly became curious about Bai Rui’s father.

Since Bai Rui was called young Lord and Bai Mu was the eldest young master*, then the chosen heir should be Bai Rui, right? Could it be that Bai Mu’s purpose in luring Bai Rui back was for the power struggle?

(* TN: Bai Rui’s title is 少主 while Bai Mu’s is 大少爷. They imply different things. Bai Mu’s title is just used to refer to the eldest son of a distinguished family, while Bai Rui’s title implies succession.)

But it was not quite like that. After all, Bai Mu seemed to be about the same level as Lian Yu, and if he wanted to kill Bai Rui, he could have done it quietly in Liaoji City…

Cheng Nuo’s head began to ache from thinking about it.

The cold night was particularly long and difficult. Finally, in the early morning, Cheng Nuo quickly put on his clothes and went out.

Yu Yue and Su Rong were already waiting outside respectfully, waiting for him to wash up, and taking him to breakfast.

The food was beautifully prepared. There were many kinds, but the number of each kind was very small. Cheng Nuo nonchalantly tasted them all. The last one was tea; he picked it up and took a sip and soon noticed something was wrong. He hurriedly reached out and touched his head, only to find that the short hair had actually grown longer in no time!

He took a deep breath, holding down the anger in his chest and said with a smile: “What is the meaning of this?”

Yu Yue waved his hand, and a team of females came in, holding clothes, jewelry and other things in their hands. Yu Yue respectfully said, “Since the distinguished guest is a female, it is better to dress up as a female.”

Cheng Nuo was powerless to complain. What a fucking world! In the eyes of this group of people, he was most likely a psychopath disguised as a male, right?

He didn’t bother to argue. He chose a set of clothes that looked similar to Hanfu style to put on, and asked Yu Yue to simply tie up the long hair that was in the way with a jade hairpin. However, looking in the mirror, Cheng Nuo was quite satisfied with his ancient modest gentleman look. Yu Yue picked up other accessories to put on him, but Cheng Nuo hurriedly blocked him: “That’s it.”

“Since I’m a guest,” Cheng Nuo stood up and said, “Can I visit around?”

Yu Yue said in a respectful voice, “Naturally, but I am afraid that the distinguished guest will barge into places where he should not go, so it is better for the servants to lead the way.”

Cheng Nuo followed the two of them absent-mindedly, listening to Yu Yue’s introduction all the way.

This place was called Snow City. The City Lord was Bai Rui’s father, Bai Jintian. He had six sons. Bai Zhi was the fifth while Bai Rui was the last. Cheng Nuo couldn’t help but groan, oh, so it turned out that there were more annoying brothers like Bai Mu and Bai Zhi!

He was now almost certain that Bai Rui and Bai Zhi were definitely not from the same mother!

He had never heard of Snow City. It was sparsely populated and monotonous, so few people in Liaoji City had heard of it.

Yu Yue said it very simply. Cheng Nuo knew that he had been instructed, so he didn’t ask about anything else. Although the snow was beautiful, it was so cold here that he was not interested after freezing for a while. With this time, it was better to go back to cultivate.

A group of people came up with a luxurious walking carriage. Yu Yue hurriedly signaled Cheng Nuo to stand with him on the roadside. Cheng Nuo looked curiously. On it sat a beautiful man with luxurious blonde hair, lively eyebrows and female dressing.

When the group passed, Cheng Nuo said, “who is this?”

Yu Yue took him back and said, “Master Ming, young master Bai Zhi’s biological father.”

Cheng Nuo couldn’t help asking, “how many wives does the city Lord have?”

Yu Yue was taken aback, thought for a while, and said, “Twenty-six ladies in the past three hundred years.”

“…” So Bai Rui’s father was so old! And six sons was really not much!

After returning, there were two more people in the palace, all dressed as medical personnel, and they had obviously been waiting for a while.

Cheng Nuo was taken aback and said, “What’s the matter?”

The two bowed respectfully towards him: “Just checking the distinguished guest’s body, no need to be nervous.”

Cheng Nuo was a medical practitioner himself, and he sat down quietly with a sneer. He wanted to see what Bai Mu was up to!

The older medic put his hand on his pulse to diagnose for a while, then rolled up his sleeve and picked up a thin needle to stab his upper left arm.

Cheng Nuo quickly took the needle from his sleeve to block him, smiled and said, “What is this needle for? Can you explain?”

The medic froze and said, “It’s just an injection of shougongsha to see if the distinguished guest is a virgin.”

Holy shit! Fuck virginity, fuck the shougongsha!

Cheng Nuo only felt the blood rushing to his face. His fingers exerted force, and two needles flew out at the same time, hitting the stone wall with two soft sounds.

He stood up by the table, sneering: “Go back and tell that Bai Mu, Laozi has been married for years!”

But Cheng Nuo soon paid the price for this impulse, Su Rong and Yu Yue both soon grabbed his shoulders left and right, pressing him down so that he could not move. The medic took out a needle again and violently stabbed the drug into his arm. Cheng Nuo took a painful cold breath, angrily gritting his teeth. He must take revenge!

Seeing that they finished successfully, those two people released their hands and Yu Yue also said gently, “Please forgive me distinguished guest!”

Cheng Nuo really wanted to laugh. In less than a quarter of an hour, a bright crimson spot appeared on his arm, especially obvious on his light wheat skin. The corners of his mouth twitched; he had clearly rolled around with Liu Guang three times ah… Could it be that having your chrysanthemum exploded was considered a farewell to that virginity bullshit? Then laozi will always keep that virginity bullshit, okay?

When the group of people retreated, Cheng Nuo’s chest rose and fell sharply, and he wanted to smash this place to pieces.

He held up a porcelain vase, hesitated for a while and put it down again. This is where Bai Rui lived. Maybe Bai Rui touched all these things.

He looked despondently out the window. His heart’s depression had reached its peak.

In the afternoon, that undispellable shadow Bai Mu came again.

Cheng Nuo was a little afraid of him, and he didn’t want to see his face similar to Bai Rui, so he looked aside.

Bai Mu coldly watched him for a while and said, “Ask you a few questions, don’t lie, I can detect it.”

Cheng Nuo’s heart jumped heavily, and he did not say anything – in fact, under the gaze of those sharp golden eyes, it was difficult to tell a lie.

“What exactly is your relationship with Bai Rui?”

Cheng Nuo quickly said, “Friends.”

“Does he know you’re a female?”

“… he knows.”

“You’re important to Bai Rui?”

“… probably.”

“And what about him to you?”

“… very important friend.”

After being pressed to ask dozens of questions, Bai Mu’s momentum was too strong. Cheng Nuo felt that he was almost suffocating. Bai Mu finally stopped, stood thoughtfully for a while, and then walked out slowly. Cheng Nuo gritted his teeth. Bai Rui is really different from his crazy brothers!

After seven or eight days, it was getting closer and closer to Bai Mu’s deadline, and Cheng Nuo was getting more and more nervous. If Bai Rui appeared, what should he do? The last thing he wanted was for Bai Rui to get hurt because of him…

This day, Cheng Nuo the “distinguished guest” was invited by Bai Mu, saying that he was invited to go out for a trip. Yu Yue and Su Rong still guarded his side to lead the way. Cheng Nuo was riding a snow-white ice magical beast and gnashing his teeth. What the hell did Bai Mu want?

Snow beasts could also travel fast on ice and snow, and they reached their destination in less than half an hour. Cheng Nuo wore a snow-white cloak and a hat over his head. His ears were still red with cold.

He impatiently followed the two people up and saw in the distance a slender figure dressed in black with long silver hair.

As soon as he wanted to sneer, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his heart skipped a bit – this, this was Bai Rui!
