Chapter 879: Chapter 879: Because I’m Cheap

Finally, the face masks were ready. Nan Feng began to fill some jars with the masks, and seeing this, Tuoba Lie quickly came down to help, "There must be at least two hundred jars, right? How long will it take you to fill them all? Let me help you."

Nan Feng nodded, "Good, and when you’re done, give a jar to the Empress and say it’s from me. Tell her to apply it before going to bed. If she doesn’t know how to use it, she can ask me."

"Giving it to my mother? Not bad, getting on your mother-in-law’s good side," laughed Tuoba Lie as he was filling the jars.

"..." Speechless, Nan Feng could only curse under her breath, "I can’t be bothered with you."

...

Tuoba Lie was diligent, taking Nan Feng’s things to curry favor with the Empress.

"Mother, your son has something to offer you," said Tuoba Lie as he draped his arm over the Empress’s shoulder, speaking mysteriously.

"Oh? What is it?" The Empress was delighted.

"Isn’t it usually quite dry here? The products Mother uses are moisturizing, but your son has recently acquired something excellent. This product isn’t from just anyone; it’s from a skincare expert—someone who’s deeply researched skincare. This is her latest creation," Tuoba Lie explained and then finally presented the jar of face mask, "This here."

The Empress opened it and took a sniff, then laughed, "You’re not wrong; it is quite fragrant. I’m used to the smell of glycerin, but this scent is nice. However, how do I use it?"

Tuoba Lie was stumped, "This was made by Nan Feng, and I don’t know how to use it either. Mother, you’ll have to call Nan Feng over to ask."

"..."

Nan Feng actually wanted to ingratiate herself with the Empress first, so when the Empress called for her, she came right over.

"Greetings to the Empress," said Nan Feng gracefully as she bowed to the Empress, who quickly urged her to rise, "Lady Nan Feng is too polite. Lielie tells me you have made this... face mask. How do I use it? Come here and teach me."

The Empress even pointed to a spot beside her, indicating for her to sit down.

"Sure," Nan Feng sat beside the Empress and continued, "Empress, it’s used like this..."

...

"You’re quite clever with your schemes!"

After coming out from the Imperial Palace, Tuoba Lie teased Nan Feng, "Think back to the last life, you also calculated every step to get closer to me."

The sky was getting a bit dark, gloomy as if it were about to snow again.

Nan Feng glared at Tuoba Lie, "Heroes don’t dwell on past courage."

"Ah, past courage?" Tuoba Lie took a big step forward, and suddenly blocked Nan Feng’s path, his tall figure standing before her like a wall.

"When you think about it, you were quite brave back then, coming alone into my territory to go undercover, breaking into two of my dens, all the while pretending to be pure, claiming that your ’first time’ would only be on our wedding night, as your mother would be angry otherwise, stringing me along."

Nan Feng lifted her eyelids, "If you knew all along, why did you still invite me onto your yacht?"

"Because I’m despicable," Tuoba Lie stepped forward and tilted Nan Feng’s chin up, "I thought you at least liked me a little."

Nan Feng knocked his hand away, "The mighty Fu Laoda, still so naïve!"

Nan Feng tried to move forward again, but Tuoba Lie was still blocking her, "The reason you won’t admit it, isn’t it because our stances are different? You’re on the side of law, I’m on the side of the underworld, but now it’s different. We’re in the same boat now, when do you plan to admit it?"
