Let me Touch your Tail

Chapter 72

"Lord of Demons."

Nangong Yin returned in triumph, and Lei Shuang and Jiang Ying greeted her with enthusiasm.

Lei Shuang had already heard about what happened at the Medicine God Sect. She had introduced Chen Er to Nangong Yin out of friendship, but Chen Er's recommended partner changed their target at a critical moment and took Yan Zhao as a hostage.

Thinking about how the Lord of Demons personally ordered Feng Jin to protect Yan Zhao, and considering what Xuan Yuan Mu had done, Lei Shuang felt as if she were pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth, and she too would suffer as a result.

Whether it was psychological or true, Lei Shuang felt an unusually low pressure around Nangong Yin. As Nangong Yin passed by, a cold wind blew, causing her heart to tremble uncontrollably.

She lowered her head, feeling awkward, and her back was drenched with sweat.

At that moment, Nangong Yin suddenly stopped.

"Lei Shuang."

Being called out by Nangong Yin, Lei Shuang's heart skipped a beat. What she feared had come true.

At such close range, she dared not pretend not to hear. She could only summon the courage to lift her head.

Clang—

A jade box hit her on the forehead.

Because her forehead was too hard, the jade box cracked open, and the pills inside tumbled out.

Nangong Yin frowned upon seeing this. "What are you dazing for?"

Lei Shuang, holding her forehead and tongue-tied, looked at Nangong Yin and then at the pills on the ground, puzzled. "Is this... a Marrow Nourishing Pill?!"

Jiang Ying gave her a look of disdain, like she was dealing with an idiot. "Hurry up and pick them up."

"Oh, oh!" Lei Shuang quickly bent down to pick up the pills and the jade box. As she was putting the pills back into the box, an idea struck her, and she said, "Lord of Demons..."

Nangong Yin said, "Give the pills to Feng Jin. Once she recovers, both of you need to do something for me."

With her guess confirmed, Lei Shuang's tense nerves relaxed, and her face brightened with a smile. Before Nangong Yin could explain the task in detail, she patted her chest and promised, "Please command us, Lord of Demons! We will definitely get it done for you!"

Jiang Ying could not stand Lei Shuang's foolishness and discreetly kicked her.

The kick landed on Lei Shuang's knee, causing her to kneel on the ground with a thud while holding the pills.

Nangong Yin raised an eyebrow.

Lei Shuang gritted her teeth and, despite her brain working quickly, continued, "No matter if it's climbing mountains or crossing seas of fire, we will not shirk!"

She faced Nangong Yin with a loyal expression while her hands, hidden behind her back, made a provocative gesture at Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying turned her face away, trying not to laugh. Her lips twitched uncontrollably.

Nangong Yin did not explain the task verbally. Instead, she engraved clues related to the Yan Tian Divine Scroll into a jade slip and handed it to Lei Shuang and Jiang Ying to read, along with the pills, to deliver to Feng Jin.

Lei Shuang and Jiang Ying received their orders and left, while Nangong Yin sat down to meditate.

The sky darkened and then brightened again. As the clouds dispersed, the first rays of morning light illuminated Nangong Yin's face, and her flowing hair, bathed in the light, appeared to have a golden edge.
