Immortality: Starting from meeting the fox girl

Chapter 8 A Gentleman Like a Jade
  Lu Chenran stood up slowly and stretched his stiff body.

He turned around and walked towards the tied half-demon. The half-demon huddled in the corner with his eyes closed, as if he was afraid of the light of the morning sun and lost the strength he had last night.

Xue Hu squatted on all fours and stared at Lu Chenran nervously and doubtfully, wondering what stupid thing he was going to do.

But he saw Lu Chenran pick up the oil lamp on the short table, then light green smoke in the charcoal basin, put it next to the half-demon, smoked the half-demon's eyes, and said to himself:
  "Desire arises from the heart. If the heart is not right, distracting thoughts will arise."

"How can there be something in this world that is only given but not asked for? Fortunately, after taking it for just a hundred days, there is still hope of salvation."

"."

Wormwood.

These hundred days will test the desires of people.

After doing all this, Lu Chenran turned around and walked to the crane paper window, reaching out to push the window open to prevent him from suffocating to death from inhaling excessive smoke.

It stopped snowing all night long.

The morning breeze blew across his face, gently dancing the down on his fox fur.

In the pure white world, even the corners of the porch are covered with snow.

It was quiet everywhere, with no chirping of sparrows and no one speaking. Lu Chenran felt that his chest was filled with peace.
  The green smoke in the room was burning, and it kept teasing the half-demon's eyes.

After a while, the half-demon's eyes were red from the smoke and tears kept flowing. Lu Chenran stepped closer. When the half-demon closed his eyes, he stretched out his finger and struck the half-demon's throat that was not covered by fur. Tiantu point.

"Roar--"

"vomit--"

A fishy smell instantly filled the entire room.

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of green foam and a piece of emerald green mugwort leaf vomited out from the half-demon's mouth, and little auras of light circulated and flickered on the piece of mugwort leaf.
  Snow Fox opened his mouth wide, raised his ears, and looked at the scene in front of him with a blank expression.

——The countless words that emerged from my heart were all transformed into one modal particle: ‘Huh? ’

After spitting out the mugwort, all the thick hair on the body and eyebrows of the half-demon fell off, and then turned into black powder and slowly dissipated in the room.

A pale middle-aged man closed his eyes tightly and curled up on the ground. His breathing was a little weak, but overall he was fine.

Lu Chenran took out the silk from his pocket, picked up the piece of mugwort, wiped it clean, and wrapped it carefully.

——Now that he has become attached to it, there is no reason to give up. Lu Chenran is also looking forward to what opportunities this piece of wormwood can bring to him.

After doing all this, Lu Chenran took Xue Hu, who was still looking confused, opened the door and sighed softly:

"What a lot of snow."

The former Shitou County is now dyed white, as if it were covered with white silk, layer by layer, all the way to the end of the field of vision. It is impossible to distinguish the roofs, and it is impossible to distinguish the entrance and exit. There is only this piece of tranquility.

"Master Lu, are you awake?"

"Well, how is Butler Liu's health?"

"."

Seeing Lu Chenran come out, several servants of the Prince's Palace who had been waiting outside the door quickly came over to greet him and asked.

Lu Chenran smiled at them, adjusted his shawl, and said:

"My body is no longer seriously injured. I only need to rest for half a year to recover. As for how to rest, I have to ask the doctor."

"Well, where is the young prince?"

"."

Hearing that the half-demon yesterday was indeed cured by the fox-furred man in front of them, several attendants stood in awe, their eyes full of awe, and then they hurriedly said:

"Master Lu is truly a god!"

"I will take the young master to where the young prince lives."

"."

Lu Chenran followed an attendant and walked directly to the guest room in the distance.

The snow was very thick, at least a foot deep and half a foot shallower. When they reached ten feet away from the door, the guard stopped and said respectfully:
  "I won't send Young Master Lu off. The young prince never lets me get within ten feet of where he lives. I hope that Young Master will be honest."

Lu Chenran nodded and walked into the side room.

"I, Lu Chenran, would like to ask the young prince for his opinion on something."

Lu Chenran reached out and knocked on the door. “Mr. Lu?”

"Just a moment, I'll be here after I tidy up my appearance."

"."

Lu Chenran put his hands in his sleeves and stood silently outside the door, waiting.

The snow fox squatting on his shoulder had a flash of doubt in his eyes, and sniffed with his nose. The next moment, a bright color flashed in the fox's eyes, and Lu Chenran couldn't see it. Inside, there is a playful arc that is imperceptible.

A glance at the inner room of the wing revealed that there was no one on the bed, only the quilts were folded neatly, but there was a pair of new pink embroidered shoes hidden under the bed, which were small and exquisite.

There was no one in the study room. Deeper inside, the fragrance gradually became stronger, and a vague shadow was reflected on the curtains.

Then, a hand as white as jade quickly opened the curtain, and the light blue tunic slid down from the wrist to the arm, revealing the white white wrist, and then there was the rustling sound of dressing.

After a while, the man in white got up from the bed, dressed neatly, washed his face, walked to the middle hall, knelt down and sat down:
  "Ahem, Mr. Lu, please come in."

"."

Lu Chenran rubbed his face, tied the ribbon on his head, brushed the hem of his clothes, and then pushed the door open and entered.

"Please sit down."

"Mr. Lu, has Uncle Liu's condition progressed?"

"."

Lu Chenran walked up to the young prince, looked at him, nodded and smiled:

"Uncle Liu's illness has been cured. He only needs half a year of physical training to recover."

"."

"Uncle Liu is already well?"

The young prince's tone was a little surprised, and then he calmed down the expression on his face and looked at Lu Chenran seriously:
  "That being the case, I will never break my previous promise. As long as the prince's palace can do it, the young master can just speak."

"."

Lu Chenran smiled and took out the silk wrapped with mugwort from his arms, then placed it on the short table and said softly:

"Young prince, let me be blunt. I wonder if the mugwort leaves that Uncle Liu swallowed can be given to me as a gift?"

"."

The young prince subconsciously moved towards the patch of wormwood. His delicate face was only a few fingers away from him, and he could hear his burning breath in his nose:

"Is this the culprit that made Uncle Liu look like that? He looks no different from ordinary Ai Ye."

"If Mr. Lu likes to take it, that's fine. What's the request?"

"."

Waves of aroma lingered on Lu Chenran's nose.

This was Lu Chenran's first time to observe the young prince's appearance at close range. Although he was quite close last time, the night was getting dark and he couldn't see the true face of Mount Lu.

This is a very beautiful face, different from the extraordinary beauty of Aunt Su, and his aura is even more outstanding, which is enough for people to ignore the aura of his beautiful face.
  He is arrogant and restrained but not overt, slightly distant but not indifferent. His pair of phoenix eyes add a lot of charm to him, but his thin lips eliminate this charm appropriately. It is difficult to imagine that this is the face of a man.

Perhaps sensing that the distance between the two was a bit close, the young prince sat back without leaving any trace, and then said with a smile:
  "Between you and me, calling me Young Master Lu is too polite. It would be better to call me by my first name. My name is Li Zijun, and my courtesy name is Ruoyu."

Lu Chenran blinked his eyes gently and said:

"Is she as beautiful as jade?"

Li Zijun shook his head and corrected Lu Chenran seriously:
  "Wrong! It's a gentleman like jade."

Lu Chenran joked:

"Perhaps a beauty like jade is more suitable for the young prince."

The young prince looked at Lu Chenran with a serious face and patted his chest:
  "Brother Lu, a certain man is a real man, and he never likes other people making such jokes about his appearance."

Lu Chenran was in awe and nodded seriously.

For a man as feminine and handsome as the young prince, he might care a lot about what others think of his appearance.
  The snow fox lying on Lu Chenran's shoulder glanced lazily at the young prince, his lips pouting slightly, as if he was sneering.
