The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 514: Is the Prince Trapping Himself Inside to Die for Love?

Chapter 514: Is the Prince Trapping Himself Inside to Die for Love?

Ye Siheng took a deep breath and channeled his Golden Core spiritual power into her mouth. Nanli’s body, initially ice-cold, gradually warmed as the spiritual energy flowed through her limbs and bones. The energy did more than just warm her; it cleansed her meridians and gathered around her Dantian, attempting to restore it.

However, Ye Siheng soon realized that his spiritual power wasn’t enough. As it neared her Dantian, it stagnated and couldn’t proceed further. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead as he became more anxious.

"Oh, I can’t bear to watch this any longer!" A voice chimed in, and the Golden Hairpin in Nanli’s bag suddenly flew out, releasing the Hairpin Elf, who hovered in mid-air.

Ye Siheng turned his head, his expression tightening.

Even though their Zitan wood bed was large, it wasn’t meant to accommodate three people -- no, even with one of them being a spirit, it still wasn’t acceptable!

"A’Li said you were always asleep," Ye Siheng said coldly. "Seems like you were lying."

"When my master is in trouble, how could I possibly stay asleep?"

"Then why didn’t you show up when she was injured by that person?" Ye Siheng questioned.

The Hairpin Elf’s expression turned awkward. "I’m just a failed creation, my powers are limited. If I had rushed out then, I couldn’t have helped her. I thought it was better to stay hidden and teach you how to transfer spiritual energy through dual cultivation."

Ye Siheng, always composed in front of others, replied calmly, "Sounds like you’ve got quite the experience."

"I know a little, yes." The Hairpin Elf coughed lightly, leaning down. "I understand what you’re trying to do, but the way you’re transferring energy now isn’t working. This is merely joint cultivation, not true dual cultivation. For real dual cultivation, you need to actually--"

She said it so bluntly that even Ye Siheng’s face reddened slightly. "But A’Li is unconscious... how could we... engage in that sort of dual cultivation?"

He had thought that by transferring his own spiritual energy to nourish her meridians, he could gradually heal her Dantian.

"If the man is unconscious, it’s one thing, but if the woman is unconscious while the man is awake, why not?" The Hairpin Elf eyed him up and down.

Could it be?

This Ninth Prince, tall and imposing as he was, couldn’t perform?

For a moment, she wanted to curse Nanli. This is the husband you risked your life to save? You’d be better off letting someone else take him away and finding someone more capable.

Ye Siheng guessed what she was thinking just by looking at her expression.

"Shut up."

The Hairpin Elf floated around. "How can I shut up? I’m counting on my master to take me to the heavens! Now her Dantian is shattered, her cultivation severely damaged, and you expect me to keep quiet? Alright then, I know of an ancient remedy. If you order someone to fetch the ingredients and prepare the potion, I guarantee that--"

Ye Siheng’s face turned icy as he reached out and pressed the Hairpin Elf back into the Golden Hairpin.

"What? You can actually catch my spirit body?!" The Hairpin Elf was shocked.

But it didn’t matter -- she could come and go as she pleased!

However--

Ye Siheng took out a sealing talisman and stuck it onto the Golden Hairpin.

"..." The Hairpin Elf was silent for a moment before cursing, "You bastard!"

Now she couldn’t escape or even see what was happening outside!

A miscalculation! If she had known, she wouldn’t have come out to teach him, only to have her kindness repaid with betrayal!

After placing the pouch outside, Ye Siheng finally felt at ease. When he returned to the bed, his face was flushed, and his ears were burning. He took Nanli’s still-warm hand, interlacing their fingers.

"A’Li, we’ll consummate our marriage today. You won’t blame me, right?"

The pillow was simple and elegant, but it made Nanli’s pale face stand out even more, devoid of any color. Of course, she couldn’t respond.

The next morning, heavy snow continued to fall, and the sun was nowhere to be seen. Outside, the cold wind howled.

Despite the freezing weather, Rainbow and Chunbao stood outside, listening carefully for any sound inside the room.

They were afraid they wouldn’t hear Ye Siheng call out to them.

But soon, they noticed that a barrier had been placed around the room, inside and out.

"This... what’s going on?" Rainbow was alarmed. "What is the prince trying to do? Could it be that the princess is gravely injured, and the prince has locked himself inside to die with her?"

Chunbao trembled and covered her mouth in shock. "N-no, it can’t be!"

The prince didn’t look like he had lost all hope earlier.

Rainbow patted her chest. "Let’s not scare ourselves. The prince is probably trying to save the princess and doesn’t want us to interrupt."

"But the prince isn’t skilled in medicine, how could he save her?" Chunbao asked, exchanging a worried glance with Rainbow.

If the prince really intended to die with the princess, what would they do?!

They wanted to push the door open to check what was happening, but the barrier wouldn’t let them through.

Just then, they heard a buzzing sound from behind.

Before they could turn around, they saw a small swarm of "bees" flying towards the barrier and crashing into it!

The impact made a soft sound, but the bees’ efforts were futile. The barrier merely emitted a red glow without a single crack.

The bees, undeterred, gathered their strength and flew into the barrier again.

Rainbow and Chunbao were dumbfounded.

Why did these bees seem so intent on dying?

The Evil Bees were heartbroken. They had overheard the two maids’ conversation and mistakenly believed that Nanli had already passed away.

Damn that Ninth Prince! So despicable, so hateful! He wouldn’t even let them see their master one last time?

The barrier was strong, but with persistence and determination, the bees were confident they could break through!

They kept crashing into it again and again, unwilling to give up.

When Ming Pei arrived, the maids understood what was happening.

Rainbow wiped her eyes, her sorrow deepening. "Even creatures can sense it. Their madness shows just how close the princess is to..."

Her grief was so intense that she almost fainted.

Chunbao supported her. "Rainbow, stay strong. If the princess truly can’t survive this, we still have many tasks to handle."

No one had expected the princess to fall into such dire straits, and the mansion wasn’t prepared at all.

Rainbow, forcing herself to stand, nodded through her tears. "You’re right, we can’t collapse now."

She had to ensure everything was arranged properly for the princess’s final departure.

At first, Ming Pei found the situation strange. He remembered Nanli’s Dantian had been shattered, but now it seemed her life had been lost as well.

Could it be that the grey-robed immortal had set some hidden trap, and Nanli’s condition worsened once she returned to the mansion?

Seeing the maids crying and the bees relentlessly attacking the barrier, Ming Pei concluded that the Ninth Princess was truly in grave danger.

He sighed toward the sky. "Ah! Heaven truly envies the talented!"

His exclamation made Rainbow and Chunbao more convinced of the truth, and they began to cry even harder.

Ming Pei hurried to comfort them. "Though the princess is gone, her spirit will live on! From now on, I shall honor her memory by catching demons, slaying monsters, and doing good deeds!"

This news would have to be relayed back to his two senior brothers.

And thus, word began to spread slowly that the Ninth Princess had perished.

Meanwhile, inside the room, things were far from over.

Ye Siheng, inexperienced as he was, had been somewhat clumsy at first.

But both he and Nanli were quick learners. freewёbnoνel.com

It was hard to say how much time passed.

Outside, the wind and snow had finally ceased.

Ye Siheng had finally found his rhythm.
