The Emperor Wants To Marry The Doctor-Chapter 2561 Side Story 65: Treats Her Equally Well

Tuan Zi was stunned on the spot for a moment, and a strange emotion quickly flashed across her heart. She couldn't even explain how she felt at this moment.

Yi Ming looked over and subconsciously asked, "Isn't that Zi Chen? He returned to the Fantasy Divine Palace?"

As he asked, he looked at Tuan Zi. With just one glance, he could tell that Tuan Zi was also unaware of this.

Tuan Zi instinctively nodded.

At this moment, Zi Chen seemed to have sensed something and suddenly turned around to look.

The girl beside him kept quiet at the right time and half-turned around.

She looked like she was 17 or 18 years old. Her facial features were exquisite and beautiful, but her face was a little pale, and there was a hint of weakness in her eyes. Coupled with her slender and soft figure, she looked even more charming.

It was an extremely fragile yet mesmerizing beauty.

Tuan Zi's gaze swept past her face, and a thought flashed across her mind. I've never seen this person before. She doesn't seem to be from Fantasy Divine Palace?

"Tuan Zi." Zi Chen spoke, his voice as low as ever.

Tuan Zi instantly recovered her senses.

Zi Chen waved his hand. "Come over."

Hearing this, Mu Xuanxuan glanced at Zi Chen again.

That man's sharp and cold eyes seemed to have unwittingly softened at this moment.

She was a little shocked.

She long knew that this man was cold and aloof. If Clan Leader Miao Zhen hadn't entrusted her to him, he probably wouldn't even have the patience to talk to her.

This was the first time she had seen such an expression on his face. It could even be called… gentle.

Moreover, his tone when he spoke was different from how he usually treated others. Although the change was very subtle, it was still clear.

She followed Zi Chen's gaze.

A few young men and women were standing together, but she almost didn't need to think to immediately guess that Zi Chen was talking to the girl standing at the front.

Mu Xuanxuan took a few more glances.

That lady looked to be no more than 15 or 16 years old. Her figure was slender and exquisite. Her red-gold dress cut a thin waist, and her irregular lower body swayed around her fair and beautiful calves with a hint of playfulness.

She used two red ropes to tie the scorpion-tailed pigtail with a golden bell at the end.

The most eye-catching thing was still that small face.

She was bright and pretty, ostentatious and passionate.

Her pair of eyes—which were as black as a grape, watery, and brilliant—were as clean and pure as a fountain, and one could see to the end at one glance.

This was a pure and well-protected lady.

Mu Xuanxuan immediately guessed her identity. Goddess Yue's legendary fiend, the current young mistress of the red-gold heavenly phoenix clan!

She had long heard that Tuan Zi was on good terms with Zi Chen. Now that she saw the latter today, she indeed lived up to her reputation.

…

Hearing Zi Chen's voice, Tuan Zi came back to her senses.

She brought Yi Ming and the others forward and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Zi Chen, when did you come back? I didn't even know?"

Zi Chen paused. "Half a month ago."

Tuan Zi was a little surprised. I thought that Zi Chen had just returned, but… he actually said that he's been back for half a month? Then… he hadn't gone to Godly Phoenix Mountain to look for me for such a long time?

As if seeing through Tuan Zi's thoughts, Zi Chen explained, "I've been busy with some things recently."

Without asking, she knew that it was definitely related to the lady beside him.

As if to confirm her guess, a faint smile bloomed on the lips of the woman beside Zi Chen. Her voice was gentle. "You're Tuan Zi, right? I've heard a lot about you."

Tuan Zi looked at her and blinked. "You're—"

"I'm Mu Xuanxuan."

Standing nearby, Tuan Zi immediately saw quite a few things. "What's your… relationship with Grandpa Miao Zhen?"

Mu Xuanxuan was dazed, not expecting Tuan Zi to ask such a question. I haven't introduced myself. Logically speaking, Tuan Zi shouldn't know…

Seeing that she didn't answer, Tuan Zi thought that she didn't want to say it and said in embarrassment, "Um… I guessed it because your bloodline power seems to be similar to Senior Miao Zhen's. If I'm wrong—"

Mu Xuanxuan understood. She smiled again, and her eyes were filled with emotion and admiration. "No, you're right. The clan leader… is my uncle."

I see.

Zi Chen said, "She's not in good health. She came over this time to use the lightning pool's strength to recuperate."

Tuan Zi nodded in understanding.

Actually, she could also discern this.

Mu Xuanxuan's bloodline was very outstanding, but her aura was weak, seemingly due to congenital deficiencies. She indeed needed to recuperate.

Thinking of this, Tuan Zi smiled and said, "Then, it's right for you to come here! Apart from the lightning pool, there are also many natural treasures at the medicinal mountain! If you need anything, just let me know!"

Mu Xuanxuan's face turned slightly red as she quickly glanced at Zi Chen and shook her head. "Thank you, but… I don't really need those. I'm already very sorry for troubling Zi Chen."

Tuan Zi quickly reacted. Zi Chen's body has half the great phoenix dragon clan's bloodline. It should be because of this that he said he's been busy for the past half a month.

She responded, "I see… That's good. Zi Chen is very powerful. With his help, your body will definitely recover quickly!"

Mu Xuanxuan nodded lightly, and her face seemed to turn even redder.

However, Zi Chen didn't look at her and didn't seem to care much about these things. He sized the little girl up and undetectably knitted his brows. "Why did you lose weight?"

When Tuan Zi heard this, she instantly felt wronged. Wasn't it because he wasn't by my side, so I didn't eat so well!? Isn't it normal to lose weight!?

She didn't need to speak. With just a look, Zi Chen knew what she was thinking.

He rubbed his brows.

Originally, he planned to look for Tuan Zi after settling the matters at Godly Dragon Island. Unexpectedly, Miao Zhen stuffed another Mu Xuanxuan over and asked him to help bring her back to Fantasy Divine Palace no matter what to nurse her body back to health.

Mu Xuanxuan was the most promising amongst the great phoenix dragon clan's younger generation, the one with the most hope of successfully opening the seventh meridian. Since Miao Zhen had personally spoken, he naturally couldn't reject him.

However, this delay lasted for too long. He didn't expect Tuan Zi to come back in advance and… with so many people.

Zi Chen's gaze swept across Yi Ming and the others.

His expression was calm, but the few of them unwittingly became nervous. It couldn't be helped—Zi Chen's aura was really strong.

Tuan Zi also noticed this. She rolled her eyes and said, "This is the first time Yi Ming and the others are here! Then, I'll bring them around first?"

Zi Chen acknowledged it.

The two parties said a few simple words before separating again.

Tuan Zi brought the group of people inside.

The few of them only relaxed when they were quite a distance away.

Tuan Zi laughed. "Why are you so nervous? Zi Chen is a very good person!"

As she walked, she said, "I haven't eaten Zi Chen's cooking in a long time! Why don't we go together tonight?" 𝒷ℯ𝒹𝓃𝓸𝓿ℯ𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝓶

Yi Ming glanced at her hesitantly. "Isn't he busy helping that Mu Xuanxuan recuperate? He still has such leisure time?"

Tuan Zi found it strange. "This won't delay him, right? And… And it has always been like this in the past."

Zi Chen would give her whatever she wanted.

Only then did Yi Ming realize that Tuan Zi's mindset was indeed problematic.

He said, "That's in the past. Now, it's the present. A person's time and energy are limited. If he gives more to others, he'll naturally give less to you."

Tuan Zi stopped in her tracks. She was inexplicably unhappy and retorted, "No."

Her tone was firm. "Zi Chen will still be good to me."
