The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 856 Blind Date

Nanzhou, Pilgrimage City, Nangong family manor.

Shang Jicheng was sitting alone in the inner hall, drinking the fifth cup of spiritual tea that his servant had just replaced for him. Although he looked calm, he was furious inside.

He came to keep an appointment today, but he had been waiting for an hour and still hadn't seen Nangong Wan.

As the direct heir of the Shang family, when had he ever been treated so lightly? When he went to see Nangong Xing before, he only waited for half a minute before Nangong Xing arrived.

He even chatted with him about family matters with a smile on his face, and was so enthusiastic that Shang Jicheng wondered if he was his long-lost son.

But when he arrived at the inner hall, he was left alone. He almost vomited the spiritual tea, and he didn't see the pretty lady he had been thinking about.

In Nangong Wan's room.

Luzhu came in hurriedly and looked at Nangong Wan who was looking at herself in the mirror anxiously and said, "Miss, Shang Jicheng seems to be unable to bear it anymore. If you keep leaving him alone like this, he will leave in anger..."

Nangong Wan looked at herself in the mirror and said indifferently: "If you want to leave, go ahead. I don't care~"

Luzhu found that her young lady had become very strange today. She kept smiling at herself in the mirror, and she didn't know what she was laughing at.

She asked the young lady why she always smiled in front of the mirror, but Nangong Wan replied: "Am I smiling? No! You must be seeing things~"

After all, Lu Zhu has reached the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, how could she have been wrong?

Luzhu suspected that something must have happened to the young lady, but since the young lady didn't say anything, there was nothing she could do.

She herself is a novice in this area, so how can she tell that her young lady is a fangirl?

Luzhu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. If Shang Jicheng was angry and left, Nangong Wan would definitely scold her and might even be punished.

Then he reminded her, "Miss, you promised the master. If Shang Jicheng gets angry and leaves without even meeting you, how will you report to the master?"

Thinking of her father scolding her, Nangong Wan said that she was not afraid, but that was a lie, so she said reluctantly: "I'll see you, it's so annoying! ~"

In the inner hall, Shang Jicheng had already finished his sixth cup of spiritual tea, and the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

Just as he was about to get up and leave, he heard light footsteps. Nangong Wan came towards him. Shang Jicheng was stunned as if he saw a fairy descending to earth.

Nangong Wan frowned slightly, but still bowed to Shang Jichengfu and said, "Sir, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I've been delayed by something. Please forgive me, Sir~"

How could Shang Jicheng still be angry now? He stared blankly at Nangong Wan, actually being fascinated by her.

Nangong Wan felt disgusted when she saw Shang Jicheng's look. She thought to herself, "You damned pervert! I've already saluted you, and you're still standing there like an idiot!"

Although Nangong Wan didn't dress up carefully, with her beauty and figure, she would be a stunning beauty no matter what she wore.

Shang Jicheng had seen Nangong Wan's photo beads, but Nangong Wan was veiled in the beads. Seeing her true appearance today really amazed Shang Jicheng.

After a long while, Shang Jicheng finally responded. He knew he had been rude, so he quickly bowed and said in return, "It's not long ago. Miss Nangong was busy, and I came at the wrong time. Please forgive me~"

Nangong Wan smiled slightly, walked to her seat and sat down, saying: "Mr. Shang, don't stand, please sit down~" This smile almost took away Shang Jicheng's soul.

Shang Jicheng's butt just touched the chair, and he quickly stood up again, took out the gift he had carefully prepared and said, "This is a gift prepared by me, Miss Nangong, please accept it~"

Nangong Wan chuckled and said, "Mr. Shang, thank you for taking the trouble to prepare a gift for Wan'er." Luzhu stepped forward to take the small box handed over by Shang Jicheng and returned to Nangong Wan.

Shang Jicheng smiled and said, "It's just a small thing, not worth much. Sister Wan'er, open it and see if you like it~"

Now they are calling Sister Wan'er. Nangong Wan was unhappy about it, but she couldn't get angry, so she nodded to Luzhu.

Luzhu opened the small box, and inside was a white pill that exuded a strong medicinal fragrance. Luzhu was surprised and said, "Jade Muscle Pill?!"

"Good eyesight~" Shang Jicheng flattered: "The little maidservant beside Sister Wan'er has extraordinary eyesight~"

This is a pill worth 100,000 high-grade spirit stones. If a woman takes it, it can improve her skin, making it delicate, smooth and more elastic.

It can be said that there is no woman who doesn't care about her skin. Shang Jicheng has also taken a lot of trouble, because the elixir for refining this pill is not easy to find~

Lu Zhu snorted and said, "Do you think my young lady needs this medicine?"

Shang Jicheng was stunned for a moment, then horrified. He apologized repeatedly, "No, no, no, I didn't mean that. Look at me, why would I give this to Sister Wan'er? Sister Wan'er has skin as white as cream, she doesn't need it... I, I, I..."

"Lüzhu, please don't be rude!" Nangong Wan gently scolded Luzhu, then smiled at Shang Jicheng and said, "Master Shang, there is no need to be like this. Luzhu was just speaking carelessly. I like this pill very much. Thank you, Master Shang~"

"No, no, no~" Shang Jicheng waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I will prepare another gift for Sister Wan'er in a few days. Sister Wan'er, please keep this pill and give it to someone else."

Nangong Wan said in disgust: "You still want to come! Luzhu is really something, why did you give him an excuse to come again!"

Shang Jicheng was now very happy. Since people gave him another chance, he would naturally seize it. Otherwise, if he wanted to see Nangong Wan again, he would have to wait until they got married.

Next, the two chatted about some meaningless things. After about half an hour, Shang Jicheng left reluctantly.

Nangong Wan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Luzhu and asked reprimandingly, "Did you deliberately give him a chance?"

Lu Zhu said aggrievedly: "This servant did not mean to say that. I just thought that the young lady did not need any Jade Muscle Pill, so I said it casually."

Nangong Wan knew that the little maid Luzhu didn't have such intentions. She didn't really want to blame her, but she was really tired of having to deal with Shang Jicheng again.

Nangong Wan stood up and prepared to go back to her room to continue looking in the mirror. Luzhu held up the small box and said, "Miss, this pill..."

Nangong Wan waved her hand and said, "You can eat it. I don't need it~"

Outside the Nangong family manor.

After Shang Jicheng said goodbye to Nangong Wan, he walked out with light steps. As soon as he walked out of the door, two followers came to meet him. One of them asked hurriedly, "Master, have you seen Miss Nangong?"

Another attendant laughed and said, "Looking at the young master's appearance, he must have seen her. Young master, is Miss Nangong as beautiful as the rumors say? Is she as beautiful as a fairy?"

Shang Jicheng said with a lewd smile, "She is more than just a fairy, she is a true fairy descended to earth~ This woman is mine!!"

Thinking of Nangong Wan's stunning beauty, Shang Jicheng couldn't help but react. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to Chunyue Tower. I'll let you have fun together tonight."

Chunyue Tower, you know what the place is as soon as you hear it. It is the most famous den of money in Pilgrimage City. What is consumed there is not crystal beads, but spirit stones!

Cultivators who don't have 1.8 million low-grade spirit stones on them don't dare to spend money there.

But who is Shang Jicheng? He is the direct heir of Shang. A gift of 100,000 high-grade spirit stones is a piece of cake. A few hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones is just a drop in the bucket.

In a place like this, any man who comes to the Holy City, as long as he has spirit stones in his pocket, would want to spend money there.
