Chapter 34: System Rewards

King Nangong Yan pondered for a moment and said, “I’ve been busy with state affairs lately and I have not encountered any suspicious individuals or events. However, a few days ago, I attended a banquet. It was a crowded and bustling gathering. Perhaps something happened there.”

Bai Linglong nodded and replied, “Your Highness, It seems that you should be more cautious in the future. The Jianghu is dangerous, and people’s hearts are unpredictable.”

While offering a perfunctory response, she was frantically hinting to the system to hurry up and declare the mission complete.

She was also thinking, This king is so careless, and always getting poisoned. I hope that in the future he will took care of himself because my heart can’t handle If this continues, he’ll use up all my antidote pills.

King Nangong Yan looked at Bai Linglong and suddenly said, “Miraculous Doctor, why do you always wear a veil? Could it be that you have some unspeakable secret?”

Bai Linglong was startled but quickly calmed down. She laughed frankly and replied, “My face is too ugly; I don’t want to frighten people.”

King Nangong Yan quickly asked, “Do you have enough beauty?”

Bai Linglong replied, “I’ve had enough. I just think the mask on my face is quite delicate, and I unintentionally became engrossed in looking at it!”

She deliberately used a lighthearted tone to tease him, trying to divert the topic. At the same time, she felt annoyed by King Nangong Yan’s persistent questioning and just wanted to finish the conversation quickly and get her reward.

“Could I possibly tell you that I’m the one who ate you up and ran away, fearing you would catch me?” Bai Linglong added.

Nangong Yan was taken aback, clearly not expecting Bai Linglong to asked him a question like that.

He chuckled lightly and said, “Miraculous Doctor, you are truly witty. It seems I was being too forward.”

Bai Linglong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Your Highness, I was just ioking. I just don’t want too much attention; this veil gives me some peace.”

King Nangong Yan stopped inquiring, but he said, “Miraculous Doctor, with such extraordinary medical skills, why do you remain so low-key? If you are willing, I can provide you with better conditions to allow your skills to be displayed more widely.”

Bai Linglong quickly shook her head and replied, “Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I am accustomed to this simple life and I don’t wish to be entangled in too much trouble.”

She knew that having deeper ties with the King Nangong Yan would likely bring her many problems, especially since she was pregnant. It would also hinder her ability to complete system missions and enjoy the rewards.

She thought, I don’t want anything more to do with you. I just want to quietly earn points and raise my baby. If you find out this baby is yours, you might come to snatch my baby away. My baby and I would be in a terrible situation.

Seeing Bai Linglong’s resolute attitude, King Nangong Yan decided not to press the matter further. “If that’s the case, then I won’t force you. However, if you ever need anything in the future, Miraculous Doctor, just speak up, and I will do everything I can to help.”

Bai Linglong bowed slightly and replied, “Thank you, Your Highness. If I ever need anything, I will definitely let you know.”

In fact, what she was thinking was that as long as she could successfully obtain the reward for this mission, she didn’t want to have anything to do with the King of Zhennan again unless absolutely necessary.

At that moment, Xiaocui entered with a bowl of warm water in hand. “Sister, here’s the warm water for the Lord.”

Bai Linglong took the warm water and handed it to Nangong Yan. “Your Highness, drink some warm water. It will make you feel better.”

King Nangong Yan took the water and drank a few sips and replied. “Thank you.”

As Bai Linglong anxiously awaited the moment, a voice finally rang out in her mind: “Ding dong! Congratulations, for completing the mission to save the King of Zhennan. You have earned ten thousand points and a chance to draw a prize.”

Bai Linglong nearly couldn’t help but cheer out loud; a smile she couldn’t hide spread across her face. She tried to maintain her composure. When Xiaocui and King Nangong Yan weren’t looking, she slipped into the inner room and eagerly immersed herself in the spatial system.
