Chapter 30: Unveiled Veil

Nangong Li's External Incarnation has been ongoing for over two months now. Due to the seclusion of her true self, there have been constant events and incidents within the sect, and they have yet to subside.

Supporting this incarnation is the power of her Nascent Soul, so in order to prolong the incarnation, the best method is to refrain from using her power and find additional power to make up for the deficit.

Perhaps due to being accustomed to walking around in her incarnation, Nangong Li forgot about this when she used her power to punish Chu Bai.

Furthermore, Chu Bai's Innate Cave Mansion discovered the Nascent Soul-level power and the owner of the Cave Mansion was frantically practicing his techniques, automatically activating the Spirit Gathering formation and converting it into the spiritual power needed by Chu Bai.

As a result, Nangong Li's already depleted power was further diminished, causing her consciousness to briefly fall into a slumber.

...

In the medicinal garden cottage,

With its extremely simple furnishings, the Elder Nangong slowly opened her eyes while lying on the wooden bed.

Memories rushed back, causing her pupils to shrink in an instant. She abruptly sat up and drew out a fiery red longsword out of thin air.

"Chu! Chang! Ge!"

Nangong Auntie shouted in anger.

...No one responded.

Looking at the boots placed under the bed and the drifting veil, Nangong Li quickly checked her body for any abnormalities.

"..."

Nangong Li returned to the small wooden bed, her eyebrows furrowed tightly. From the moment her consciousness detached from reality until now, half an hour had passed, and Nangong Li had no memories of this period of time.

Half an hour, on the battlefield, it would be enough for her to die a thousand times.

Time reversal?

That is a Divine Ability that only Soul Refining stage cultivators can barely learn. Nangong Li's cultivation is only at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, and she is currently in an incarnation, so it is impossible for her to do it.

"Damn it!..."

She didn't know if she was cursing someone or cursing the unexpected events of today.

In the previous moment, she was the esteemed Elder Auntie, and then she fell to the ground. Nangong Li felt her cheeks burning intensely.

Although she had no memories of the past half hour, under the scanning of her Nascent Soul-level divine sense, the human-shaped figure on the ground next to the round table was clearly visible to her.

Furthermore, Nangong Li's entire body was covered in ordinary items, except for the veil that concealed her face.

As an incarnation, she couldn't cultivate, and it would normally take a long time for her to wake up.

Was it the power emitted by the veil Law Treasure that awakened her, causing Chu Changge to see her appearance?

Nangong Li, the Elder of the External Sect, with a cultivation at the Nascent Soul stage, is a prominent figure in terms of power within the Azure Cloud Sect, second only to one person.

As the independent existence of the Azure Cloud Sect's External Sect, she has no authority over the Inner Sect peaks, and the Inner Sect has no authority over her External Sect.

Therefore, Elder Nangong is straightforward, imposing, hot-tempered, and hates evil.

However, her face is petite and pitiful, except for her imposing phoenix eyes, petite nose, petite lips, and petite ears. She clearly looks like a three-thousand-year-old monster, but she appears more like a girl in her twenties.

It is precisely because of this that Nangong Li never allows her face to be seen clearly.

As a result, Chu Changge casually called her "Auntie," and when he turned his head to look, he said, "Oh, Auntie Nangong is even younger than me."

Where is the dignity? How can they get along in the future?

Just at this moment!

Feedback came through her divine sense. Outside the medicinal field, a young man was flying towards the cottage.

Chu Bai has returned, holding several spiritual flowers and herbs in his hands.

"No wonder he wasn't here, turns out he went to gather herbs."

Immediately after, Nangong Li's eyes narrowed, and she hurriedly put on the veil and put on her boots.

Wait!

When she woke up earlier, she flew too hastily and dropped a silk stocking.

It's too late to change clothes again, so she could only flick her finger and make the socks slide under the bedsheet.

"Auntie, Auntie! Ah, Auntie, are you awake?"

Chu Bai stepped over the threshold and saw the blurry figure of Auntie Nan, dressed in a black robe, standing in the room, holding the old account book in her delicate hands.

Nangong Li calmly said, "Yes, I've been awake for a while."

Chu Bai's forehead was still sweating, and he asked with concern, "What about just now?"

Nangong Li waved her long sleeve and said, "I made a mistake in my cultivation these past few days, but it's nothing serious. Where did you get the medicine from?"

Chu Bai said, "Don't worry, I bought it. I don't know much about medicine, so I bought some herbs for treating internal injuries."

"Mm."

Nangong Li nodded slightly and took the spirit flowers and herbs from Chu Bai's hand, putting them into a storage bag. "Go and do your own thing. I'll leave first. I'll give you a bottle of healing medicine, but remember the lesson from today."

The lesson being the act of crossing boundaries and talking behind someone's back.

Chu Bai slightly bowed, "Yes, Auntie."

With a flash of red light, Auntie Nangong's figure disappeared into the back mountain herb garden.

Nangong Li seemed to have been overly worried. If the herbs Chu Bai brought back were from the market, it would take at least half an hour for a round trip, not to mention the time spent buying the medicine. There was simply no time to do anything bad.

Hmm. Although the kid was bold and had some mischievous thoughts, he wouldn't dare to do anything to an elder. Not to mention he had just been punished.

Hmm hmm.

The main concern for Auntie Nangong was whether her veil fell off before or after Chu Bai left. Based on the timing, it should have been after.

Chu Bai also said that he didn't know much about medicine, so after helping Auntie Nangong onto the bed, he went to buy the medicine.

Returning to the main hall outside, Nangong Li walked a few steps, passed a folding screen, and arrived at her private bath.

Her clothes slipped off, and the beauty bathed, creating a beautiful scene.

Despite Chu Bai's return, Auntie Nangong remained as calm as ever, but her delicate face was always flushed.

To support or to carry, it was almost the same.

In urgent situations, Chu Changge didn't know what had happened, so this time Auntie Nangong couldn't blame him.

Nangong Li subconsciously touched her lips, feeling a slight strangeness.

And her chest felt stuffy, probably due to fainting.

Not long after,

The warm bath disappeared from sight, and the bathing beauty submerged herself in the pool.

"I've been paying too much attention to that child these past two months. I am the elder of the outer sect, in control of the overall situation. He has proven his abilities, so he should handle the next matters himself."

In the depths of the herb garden on the back mountain, there was a small field.

Further inside was Chu Bai's thatched cottage.

At this moment, the owner of the cottage was sitting there, tapping the table for a long time before suddenly bursting into laughter.

"Hahaha, an old lady who is over a thousand years old actually looks like a middle school student!"

Chu Bai and the old lady had a confrontation, but in reality, the latter just had a bad temper, and the battle was over in no time.

Then, she collapsed.

Chu Bai's cultivation was not enough to heal a senior expert, but when he saw her heart stop, he performed chest compressions and artificial respiration.

At that time, he genuinely wanted to save a life and didn't think too much.

Cultivators were also human beings, and Chu Bai believed that the emergency measures that were effective for humans should also work for cultivators.

Afterwards, the effect did appear, but it had nothing to do with first aid. Instead, it was the dazzling light emitted by the unveiled face.

Chu Bai was temporarily blinded, and when his vision recovered, the long-lost sound of a heartbeat returned. What he saw next was the delicate face that could be seen from all angles.
