Chapter 287 Flower
Chapter 287 Flower
As the sun sets, the afterglow is like blood, dyeing the sky orange and red.
The evening breeze, bringing a hint of coolness, gently blows across the earth.
Jiang Wanying was wearing a bright red dress and standing alone where she and Lin Chuan were separated.
She looked quietly at the setting sun, and gradually, the corners of her mouth began to droop.
"You said you'd come back soon, why haven't you come back yet?"
Jiang Wanying frowned, bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and muttered to herself.
"Stupid Senior Sister, why don't you find a place to rest?"
Along with these words filled with pampering and teasing, Lin Chuan had quietly come to Jiang Wanying like a breeze.
"Achuan!"
Jiang Wanying's eyes were instantly filled with surprise and excitement, and she hugged Lin Chuan without hesitation.
"Be good, Senior Sister."
Lin Chuan patted her back gently, raised a gentle arc at the corner of his mouth, and coaxed her softly.
Jiang Wanying finally let go of her hand, crossed her arms over her chest, feigned anger, pouted slightly, and said coquettishly, "Why did you take so long? Did that bad woman not let you come back?"
"..."
"It's my fault. I was too playful. Please don't be angry, Senior Sister."
Lin Chuan gently pinched Jiang Wanying's cheek, his eyes full of apology and doting.
"Tsk, you're playing so late, think about how to tell Master when you get home."
Jiang Wanying slapped Lin Chuan's hand away and snorted, still with a bit of dissatisfaction on her face.
"..."
"Sister..."
Lin Chuan looked embarrassed. He gently tugged at Jiang Wanying's sleeve and called out pitifully.
"Achuan knows that Master is quite sensitive."
Jiang Wanying sighed helplessly and looked up at Lin Chuan with a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Senior sister~"
Lin Chuan's voice seemed to have a hook and was full of coquettishness.
"Tsk, don't say anything when you get back. I'll tell you."
Jiang Wanying rolled her eyes at Lin Chuan, pretending to be angry.
"Senior sister is the best!"
Lin Chuan's face lit up instantly, and he came forward and kissed Jiang Wanying on the face.
"Do you think I'm okay now? Why didn't you think I was okay when you were playing with that bad woman?"
After saying that, Jiang Wanying turned her head away, looking as if she didn't want to pay any attention to Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan smiled and gently shook Jiang Wanying's arm, "Senior Sister, don't be angry. Look at the gift I brought you."
After saying that, he turned sideways and carefully took out a handful of wild flowers he had picked on the road from the storage space.
The flowers are colorful, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, they look like tiny gems.
A gentle breeze blew by, and the elegant fragrance of flowers slowly spread, lingering around the two of them.
"Tsk, who's angry?"
Jiang Wanying snorted softly, and although she didn't admit it, her hands naturally took the bouquet.
A flash of surprise flashed across her eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. She gently sniffed the elegant floral fragrance, and her expression softened unconsciously. She said angrily, "You only know how to coax me with these things."
"Sister, don't you like it?"
Lin Chuan tilted his head and looked at Jiang Wanying with burning eyes.
"Um……"
Jiang Wanying tilted her head slightly in thought, her eyes wandering among the bouquets, and then gently pulled out one of the blue flowers.
She smiled and raised her hand to put the flower on Lin Chuan's ear with gentle movements.
Then, she stepped back, looked at him for a moment, her eyes full of tenderness and fondness, and whispered, "I like it."
"I'm glad you like it. It's getting late. Let's go back."
As Lin Chuan spoke, he half-knelt down, patted his shoulder, and motioned Jiang Wanying to come up.
"it is good!"
Jiang Wanying responded crisply, and moved very quickly, climbing onto Lin Chuan's back in an instant, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck, and resting her head affectionately on his shoulder.
Lin Chuan stood up steadily, carrying Jiang Wanying on his back, and walked towards the Qingluan Holy Land's base with brisk steps against the darkening sky.
In the distance, dusk fell. A woman in a yellow dress stood quietly in the dappled shadows of a tree, her figure graceful. Her gaze seemed casual, yet it rested vaguely on Lin Chuan.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression complicated and with a hint of realization in her face. She gently opened her lips and seemed to mutter to herself: "He is quite handsome. No wonder the host of the building took a fancy to him..."
……
"Master, Achuan and I are back."
"Master, Achuan and I are back." Jiang Wanying's clear voice broke the silence of the night.
Not far away, a graceful woman stood in a long white dress swaying in the wind.
The moonlight poured down like mercury, outlining her smooth figure. Her cold temperament became more prominent, just like a banished immortal left in the human world.
"Why are you coming back now?"
Xu Hanyi frowned, took light steps, and in the blink of an eye she was in front of Lin Chuan.
"The scenery nearby is nice. Achuan accompanied me for a while."
Jiang Wanying jumped lightly from Lin Chuan's back, moved slightly to Xu Hanyi, and explained softly.
"..."
Xu Hanyi opened his mouth slightly and was about to speak when he saw a huge shadow rapidly pressing down like a dark cloud, completely covering the three of them.
"Which holy land's warship is this? It's so huge..."
Lin Chuan couldn't help but be shocked, his eyes fixed on the huge monster, his eyes full of astonishment.
This doubt did not last long before the answer came.
"Xu Hanyi, come up and play?"
A charming voice came from the warship. Standing by the side of the ship was a woman in a pink dress. It was Li Yue.
She has a graceful figure and a bright smile. In the moonlight, her pink skirt looks like rippling clouds. In her hand, she holds a string of sparkling beads, which are gently swaying, making crisp and pleasant sounds.
"This is the foundation of an alchemist..."
Lin Chuan muttered to himself, his eyes full of amazement and emotion.
"It's blocking the moonlight, go play somewhere else."
Xu Hanyi raised his head and swept his cold gaze towards Li Yue on the warship.
"Oh."
Li Yue responded but didn't move. She tilted her head with a playful smile on her face. Her eyes fell on Jiang Wanying and she invited her warmly, "Wanying, do you want to come up and play?"
Her eyes were bright and full of anticipation, and her pink skirt fluttered gently in the night breeze.
"No, thank you Sister Liyue." Jiang Wanying politely declined, her voice as clear as a bell.
"Oh."
Li Yue nodded slightly, a faint smile still on her lips, and turned around and walked back to the beautifully decorated attic.
The huge warship started slowly, rune light circulated around it, and a slight humming sound was emitted.
Soon, the warship cut through the night sky like an arrow and sped away into the distance, leaving only a fleeting afterimage.
From beginning to end, Li Yue never looked at Lin Chuan, as if he was just an insignificant existence in the night.
"Ying'er, wait here for a moment. I have something I want to talk to Chuan'er about."
Xu Hanyi looked calm, and no emotion could be seen on his fair face.
"Ah? What's going on? It's so late, Master, how about we talk to Achuan tomorrow?"
Jiang Wanying felt Lin Chuan's pleading gaze on her, and her heart softened.
She subconsciously took a step closer to Lin Chuan, and looked at Xu Hanyi with her beautiful eyes full of worry, trying to help Lin Chuan out.
"Master, I'll be back soon."
Xu Hanyi said without question, stretched out his fair and slender hand, took Lin Chuan's hand, and walked away.
