I was grinning foolishly when suddenly I felt like I couldn't catch my breath, as if something was blocking my nose and mouth. Oh my gosh, did I fall into the water?
I opened my eyes wide and found myself lying on the ground, with someone on top of me, fiercely nibbling at my lips.
Oh my gosh, I must have been dreaming just now, and now I was awake. The one assaulting me wasn't my idol, Nie Qiuyuan, was it? I was dressed as a man; this was completely inappropriate!
I shouted, "Nie Qiuyuan, have you lost your mind? What are you doing in public like this?"
But my mouth was blocked, and all that came out were muffled sounds.
After a while, I was finally released. I quickly looked around and heard my idol's cold voice.
"Stop looking; there's no one here."
Sure enough, the surroundings were eerily quiet. No wonder he chose this moment to take advantage of me.
"Are you crazy?" I said angrily.
His voice carried an even stronger annoyance.
"Ye Zhenzhen, do you know? Just now, while I was holding you, you called out someone else's name in your sleep—someone with the surname Zhang!"
That hit a nerve. No wonder he had gone to such lengths to wake me up. I had no such intentions; if he misunderstood me because of this, it would be terrible!
I threw my arms around his neck. He paused for a moment, his bad mood easing slightly as he pressed down on me firmly and said through gritted teeth, "Ye Zhenzhen, is one of me not enough?"
"Enough!" I replied decisively. "Having you is enough!"
This is not a debate; these are my heartfelt words. Having you, even if I lose the world, I will have no regrets in this life.
He fell silent for a moment, but I could clearly feel his breath gradually softening. He leaned down again and gently kissed my lips for a while.
"Zhenzhen."
"Mm?"
"I love you deeply."
"…Stop it, I'm going to blush!"
"You can't have anyone else in your heart."
"Mm."
"Marry me."
Huh…??
What a touching moment, what touching words, but suddenly those heartfelt words struck me like lightning.
Isn't this what I just recalled from the Periodic Table in my dream?
H (Hydrogen) A (Astatine) S (Osmium) As (Arsenic) A (Astatine) Nb (Niobium), Nb (Niobium) Zn (Zinc) Li (Lithium) Pu (Plutonium) Kr (Krypton) Y (Yttrium) U (Uranium) I (Thallium) Ag (Silver), Ga (Gallium) S (Osmium) Pd (Palladium).
Nie Qiuyuan had just come out word for word, and the coincidence was truly everywhere.
I suddenly felt as if the barriers of time and space had been broken, as if something was tightly connecting my present self with my future self. I had been trying hard to seize the throat of fate, but fate kept proving to me that it was the true master.
"What’s wrong, Zhenzhen?" The male god spoke in such an enticing manner, clearly quite pleased with himself, but all he got in response was my stunned silence, which must have seemed rather strange to him.
"I-I-I dreamt about some elements... codes or something, so now I feel a bit dizzy..."
"Codes? Are you referring to a secret language? Is this what you mean?"
Nie Qiuyuan pulled out a piece of Silk Paper from his pocket.
Oh? I hadn’t expected that. Perhaps this really is a kind of code; using a code to explain it should be the most reasonable approach.
So, what kind of code could it be? A code made up of Herb Names? How could that possibly be deciphered?
Suddenly, Nie Qiuyuan sprang up from beside me and then reached out to pull me up. In an instant, we were sitting across from each other, elegantly engaged in conversation.
What’s going on? I was puzzled when, a minute later, a Constable rushed toward us. From a distance, upon seeing us, he shouted, "My lord..."
I secretly admired him in my heart. Even before he arrived, I could hear his footsteps from so far away. No wonder he had the capital to act so grandly; I felt somewhat inferior in comparison.
The Constable ran over, panting heavily. Nie Qiuyuan gestured for him to be at ease. He gasped and said, "My lord, your foresight is remarkable. We placed the body at the county office and deliberately relaxed our guard while spreading the word in town to identify the corpse. But within less than an hour, the body... was stolen!"
What? Stolen? Did Nie Qiuyuan anticipate this outcome all along?
"Are you all keeping up?" the male deity asked leisurely.
This time, the Constable's face turned red.
"My lord, we are incompetent. The ones who came to steal the corpse are too skilled; we could only see that they went east, but we couldn't keep up..."
Ah, so the clue has been cut off?
Nie Qiuyuan, however, did not seem anxious at all and simply instructed the Constable to report back.
"Is this what you arranged with them? But now we've lost track of them; what should we do?" I felt a bit anxious. In my impression, the male deity had never made such a significant mistake in his work.
"It's fine. I think they probably can't keep up either, so I sent Shadow of the Night to follow them."
Indeed, he had a backup plan. But as soon as Shadow of the Night was mentioned, I recalled that there was poison from the emperor within Nie Qiuyuan's body, and my mood soured instantly.
"Come on, let's wait a little longer!"
Qiu held my hand and led me back under the big tree to sit down.
"Zhenzhen, I won't die. I will always hold you like this and will always be by your side. So don't worry."
I nodded vigorously. How can you always keenly sense what I'm thinking in my heart? Is my mind really that simple?
We lingered under the quiet tree for a while when a White Dove appeared in our line of sight and began to circle above us. Nie Qiuyuan puckered his lips and whistled, causing the dove to descend in a winding flight path and land on his wrist.
"Wow, you have quite the skill," I exclaimed sincerely.
He smiled lightly and retrieved the information from the iron ring tied to the pigeon's leg, unfolding it for me to see.
It read: "The grave robbers have entered the Medicine King Pavilion."
"The people from the Medicine King Pavilion..." Qiu murmured.
"What is the Medicine King Pavilion?" I asked curiously.
Nie Qiuyuan explained, "The Medicine King Pavilion is the largest medical establishment in Chang'an, as well as the biggest pharmacy. The pavilion's master, Mr. Fu Zhifeng, is highly skilled in medicine and possesses the miraculous ability to bring the dead back to life. Moreover, Mr. Fu is kind-hearted and does not have the eccentric temperament that often comes with great talent, so he is respected in both the underworld and among the righteous."
"Respected? But they... steal corpses?!" I was puzzled.
"Zhenzhen, I'm following your lead. Do you want to continue shopping or visit the Medicine King Pavilion?"
"Is that even a question?!" I linked my arm with my idol's. "Let's go!"
He chuckled and pinched my nose playfully.
"We still have a few hours before our appointment with Bopo the Divine Monk, so let's take a trip to the Medicine King Pavilion."
