The King of Hell's Genius Pampered Wife (711-)

Chapter 718: Who Is Jealous?

There was also the sect with a large mountain matrix that was much stronger than this.

Without a doubt, it needed an unimaginable amount of precious materials and crystal stones to maintain and arrange the complex matrix.

Nangong Yu nodded and said, "This matrix was derived from an ancient matrix. After removing its more complicated patterns, it was relatively easy to crack. At best, it can be regarded as a fifth-ranked matrix.

"If it were the original method, it would not be so easy to crack."

He Xi couldn't suppress the adoration in her eyes and said, "This is really magical; I also want to learn it."

Nangong Yu rubbed her head and smiled indulgently, "Okay, I will teach you!"

The two proceeded along the passage and soon came to a room similar to an alchemy room.

But the most conspicuous thing was not the stove or table, but the portrait hanging behind the table.

The woman in the portrait had a cold look, but her face was alluring and exquisitely beautiful. It was Nalan He Xi's birth mother, An Lingyue.

Nangong Yu couldn't suppress his surprise when he saw An Lingyue's portrait.

He stared at the portrait blankly, unable to recover for a long time, and did not even hear He Xi call him.

Inexplicably, He Xi felt a little unhappy in her heart. She approached Nangong Yu's ear and whispered, "Why, is she beautiful?"

Nangong Yu immediately recovered and replied, "Xi'er is the most beautiful in this King's heart."

"Come on!" He Xi sneered, "You were staring dumbfounded with your eyes straight, almost drooling, but she isn't beautiful?"

Nangong Yu looked at the little girl in front of him who was staring at him with her nose wrinkled, and suddenly couldn't help but laugh.

He wrapped the little girl in his arms, pinched her nose, and smiled happily and sweetly, "Xi'er, you're so cute. Even a portrait caused vinegar to be eaten, but this King likes it when you look jealous!"

When he saw that He Xi was about to be angry, he quickly said, "You can rest assured. Except for Xi'er, other women look the same to this King. Even if they stand naked before me, I won't be moved."

He Xi wanted to refute his jealous comment, but she couldn't suppress the corner of her lips from twitching.

Nangong Yu's stare became increasingly intense until he lowered his head to cover her lips and gently kissed her for a while before saying, "Xi'er, I feel that this woman is a bit familiar, but where have I seen her? Wu...it feels like it was a long time ago."

He Xi said, "Don't think too much about it. She is Nalan He Xi's biological mother, An Lingyue, and you've seen her portrait at the Hundred Herb Garden. Feeling a sense of familiarity is normal!"

Nangong Yu shook his head and said, "The portrait of An Lingyue in the Hundred Herb Garden looked relatively gentle. At that time, she looked similar to you, so I didn't think much about it but seeing this painting now, I feel that it's inexplicably familiar. Where have I seen it?"

"Don't think about it! People are similar, things are the same. Maybe you've mistaken?"

Nangong Yu nodded thoughtfully, "Maybe!"

The pair wandered around the room and soon found a secret passage that led deeper underground.

He Xi had a hunch that this path was Nalan Zhengze's real secret.

The two quickly covered their traces and entered the secret passage.
