Chapter 197.1: Childhood Sweethearts
So that was what she was curious about!
Su Yi laughed nefariously, then moved his grease-covered face over to whisper, “It’s the Eight Treasures Chicken and Dragon Loach from next door…”
“Next door?”
“Next door is the Murong family,” replied Su Yi quickly. Then he finished the last piece of meat and swiftly cleaned up the bones on the table. He picked at his teeth with a toothpick as he said, “I’m going to go deal with these now. You had better hurry up and recover. There aren’t many of those chickens and Dragon Loaches left in that residence.”
After he finished speaking, he left again while whistling a little tune.
Tang Doudou was extremely speechless. It was likely that he had stolen these things from the neighbors!
Just the names Eight Treasures Chicken and Dragon Loach were enough for one to figure out that these weren’t normal chickens and loaches. Moreover, they even belonged to the Murong family!
He was probably the only one in the entire Cloud City that had the guts to do such a thing.
Tang Doudou covered her head. He even said that he would go steal some more once she got better. It looked like this wasn’t the first time he had committed this crime.
No wonder so many people in Cloud City disliked this guy. It wasn’t without reason!
She didn’t know what Su Yi did but he was able to make all those big shots that came to Cloud City stay for an additional half a month. During this time, due to the two godly doctors’ meticulous care, Tang Doudou had soon recovered enough to get off the bed and walk. The only thing was that she still couldn’t do any violent movements and she also couldn’t straighten her waist.
From some unknown place, Su Yi got something like a wheelchair and gave it to her as a means of transportation. Before she could even start to feel grateful, the number one craftsman in the world, Boss Lu, caught up with Su Yi and caused a huge ruckus yelling at him. When he found out that the item was for her, he first gave Su Yi another fierce and thorough scolding, then went back to his residence and sent her an even more comfortable chair.
It surprised Tang Doudou a lot. Wasn’t it said that a lot of people in Cloud City wanted her dead?
However, the reality doesn’t seem to reflect the rumors?
Su Yi explained sullenly. The gist was that the people that wanted her dead were the people that wanted to contend for power and influence. The rest of the people in Cloud City quite liked her. After all, she had grown up in Cloud City. Back then, Su Yi often left the city alone to deal with affairs so he would throw her to this family for a day, then to that family for a couple days. It could be said that she had grown up under the care of the entire city.
No wonder…
Tang Doudou couldn’t help but feel blessed on behalf of the deceased Li Xueyi. Li Xueyi had truly been more blessed than her, who had grown up alone in the modern world.
In the blink of an eye, another half a month had passed and Tang Doudou was already pretty much recovered.
“En. As long as you don’t use your inner strength for a while, after half a year you’ll be completely healed!” Cang Baicao retrieved his hand as he continued to nag at Tang Doudou, “Remember, you can’t use your inner strength. Make sure to have your Master accompany you wherever you go. Don’t get injured anymore. Right now you’re no longer poisoned with Disseminating Tassel Fragrance so you’ll easily bleed out if you get injured.”
Tang Doudou nodded. After the Disseminating Tassel Fragrance left, the body’s ability to clot blood declined sharply. It was best if she didn’t injure herself to the point of bleeding anymore because her blood would continue to flow without stopping.
It was just unexpected that the Disseminating Tassel Fragrance actually had the effect of increasing the rate at which blood clotted. It was truly a mysterious poison.
After Cang Baicao finished nagging, he left.
He had been investigating the Disseminating Tassel Fragrance this whole time, almost crazily. The only time he took breaks was to help check her injury. He barely even bothered to eat.
It caused Tang Doudou to feel very uncomfortable. She really wanted to tell him that it might have been because of the bug heart, but she wasn’t certain if it was. After all, she had experienced a lot of things after eating the bug heart and also ate and used a lot of other things as well. There was simply no way to make sure.
Moreover, she harbored another suspicion that it might have to do with the fruits of that sacred tree since those were the most abnormal things she had eaten aside from the bug heart.
However, it was very dangerous to go to Tree Valley. She didn’t dare to tell Cang Baicao until she was completely sure.
Su Yi saw her scrunch her face up conflictedly before sighing. Thinking that she was worried about the marriage arrangements, he said, “Don’t worry about those things. Master is here for you!”
The moment Tang Doudou heard what he said, she knew that his line of thought was not on the same track as hers. “I want to go out and walk around.”
The most important thing was that she was felt discomfited and on edge since the perpetrator still had not been found.
“How about tomorrow instead? It’s already pretty late in the day, why don’t you go rest and I’ll bring you out to play early tomorrow morning?”
“I already rested for an entire month. I’m about to grow mold from staying in this courtyard so long! No! I have to go out today!” Tang Doudou stubbornly flared up. She didn’t want to stay here any longer.
Worried that she would aggravate her injury due to her rash movements, Su Yi hastily said, “Fine fine fine. If you want to go now then let’s just go. Don’t get so stirred up, I’ll go prepare a little.”
“Prepare what? There’s no need to prepare, I’m heading out like this!”
After she finished speaking, she pushed opened the door. After taking a deep breath of the fresh air, she opened her eyes and saw that Feng Wu was performing a sword-dance in the courtyard outside.
“Big Sister Feng Wu!”

Chapter 197.2: Childhood Sweethearts
Last time, Feng Wu had beat Bai Luoqing within three moves, then demanded that Bai Luoqing never set foot in Cloud City again. Only then had that matter been resolved.
When Su Yi came back and heard about it, he cried out his approval of Feng Wu’s actions. From the start, he hadn’t liked Bai Luoqing but the person was a woman so he couldn’t very well say it directly. How could he not be happy that Feng Wu had helped him resolve the problem?
“Xueyi, what did Old Cang say?” Feng Wu smoothly retrieved the sword and returned to a normal stand. Wiping off her sweat, she walked over with a smile and stroked Tang Doudou’s cheek. “From the looks of it, you’re doing pretty well.”
Tang Doudou liked nee-samas like Feng Wu the most. Not only was she pretty and amazing, most importantly she even had a good temper.
“Hehe, it’s all thanks to everyone taking care of me during this period!”
“You’ve even learned to be polite!”
“What? From the looks of it, you want to go somewhere to play?” asked Feng Wu as she glanced at Su Yi who had hastily come out after Tang Doudou.
Su Yi said in a helpless tone, “I told her to rest, but she insisted on going out to play.”
“After staying in the house that long, it’d be pretty good to take a stroll around!” Feng Wu understood Tang Doudou’s current feelings very well. “Su Yi, if you’re busy, just let me take Xueyi out to play!”
“Ugh…” He was indeed busy, that was why he wanted Tang Doudou to wait one more day before going out.
In the end, Tang Doudou insisted on going out right now. Feng Wu’s words were no doubt exactly what he hoped for, but he couldn’t very well act happy. Feng Wu found his conflicted expression rather funny. Li Xueyi was the only one in this world that could make things this difficult for Su Yi.
“How are you, a grown man, supposed to accompany a young girl on a stroll? You had better let me go instead. It couldn’t be that you don’t trust my martial arts?” said Feng Wu with a light smile as she pushed Su Yi aside.
She moved her arm towards Tang Doudou and Tang Doudou immediately understood and grabbed her wrist. “Exactly! You should just focus on your affairs! It’s fine if you just leave me with Big Sister Feng Wu!”
Su Yi faked a sigh, then nodded. “Be careful. Remember to immediately send a signal if you encounter anything.
Su Yi had found the perpetrator right after Tang Doudou said it was Nangong Yan. It really did turn out to be the girl at Baili Yu’s side. The only reason they hadn’t made a move yet was because they hadn’t managed to find any evidence. He also didn’t know how to tell Tang Doudou about this matter.
With the fact that Baili Yu didn’t know what was happening added on, this matter became even more tricky.
Who asked for that Nangong Yan to be Baili Yu’s Junior Sister, Old Man Xuan Xiao’s most beloved disciple, and the Young Island Master of Wind Cloud Island? Even he, this Lord of Cloud City, feared Wind Cloud Island somewhat. Hence, he didn’t dare to make a move without evidence.
Tang Doudou didn’t know about this matter but he had talked about this with Feng Wu before. Su Yi had sent Feng Wu a look before they left, the meaning was to, no matter what, not bring Li Xueyi to the inn Baili Yu was staying at. That guy often sat next to the window looking at no apparent thing.
Feng Wu naturally understood and nodded.
Tang Doudou who had been stuck inside for over a month was like a little bird that had been let out of her cage. She poked over here and glanced over there and generally fluttered all over the place. However, Cloud City’s streets weren’t very bustling. There was a very happy and content feeling. Some vendors were napping, some vendor stands didn’t even have people.
After looking for a while, Tang Doudou felt completely bored. Wasn’t this a little too dull?
There were only three things on the stall she was currently looking at and this arrangement was way too careless.
She had no idea that this was a scene that only appeared due to Su Yi’s ardent requests. In the past, who in Cloud City would set up vendor stalls? If they weren’t sleeping, they were sleeping…
“Eh? Isn’t this little Xueyi? Why do you have time to come out today?” Just as she was about to gloomily put down the accessory in her hand, that sleeping vendor suddenly opened his eyes and called out to her happily.
He knew her?
Tang Doudou didn’t understand what was going on and looked towards Feng Wu.
Feng Wu hadn’t been to Cloud City a lot either and naturally didn’t recognize this person. “You are?”
That vendor didn’t seem to mind the fact that Tang Doudou didn’t remember him. He picked up an ornament and shoved it right into her hand. “Hehe, it’s fine if little Xueyi doesn’t remember this old man. It’s good that you’ve come back, it’s very good. I heard that the City Lord has been looking for a groom for you? Remember that little son of mine? You think…”
Tang Doudou’s face darkened before he even finished speaking and hastily shoved the thing back at him. “Ahem, I still have an urgent matter to attend to so I’ll leave first!”
After she finished speaking, she hightailed it out of there.
Who expected for the vendor to actually chase after her? As he ran, he continued shouting, “Little Xueyi ah! Little Zhuzi grew up with you ah! Green plums and hobby-horses, innocent playmates. You should consider it!”
Green plums and hobby-horse refers to a couple that grew up as childhood friends. Because, children, they say, at one point in time, played underneath green plum trees and with hobby horses.
“Little Xueyi!”
“Hey hey, you said that the person that just ran past is the disciple of our City Lord, Xueyi?” The vendor’s ghost-like wail immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Several people blocked him to question him.
The vendor was busy marketing his son so he didn’t bother to waste words with them. “If it’s not her, who else could it be? The last time she came back she still looked like a tomboy! Unexpectedly she has matured into such a lively beauty! My family’s Zhuzi grew up butt-naked with her…”
Tang Doudou ran very fast and didn’t hear the rest. In the blink of an eye, she had left all those people behind. She patted her chest to calm down her still-racing heart. It was seriously too scary, it was practically demanding her life!
Green plums and hobby-horses? Ha…
And even something about growing up butt-naked with some pillar… (The guy’s name translates to pillar)
Feng Wu followed next to her. Suddenly, she said with a laugh, “Who would’ve known that you had so many green plums?”
What did that mean?
Tang Doudou looked towards Feng Wu, puzzled. When did she have a lot of green plums and hobby-horses? Wasn’t there just the little Zhuzi from earlier?
Just as she was wondering this, she heard something faintly like the buzzing of bees. When she turned around to look, her legs went weak from shock and she almost fell to the ground.
Da fudge? Who could come and explain to her when she had become so popular in Cloud City?
