Chapter 132: Initial Effects
Chapter 132: Initial Effects
It gets cooler as night falls.
"Master is so good, so I will reward you again!"
"But I clearly agreed to your request just now, why do you still want to..."
"Yiyi~"
"Traitor...traitor..."
Just when Lin Chuan was about to give Xu Hanyi another reward, an extremely untimely knock on the door suddenly came into the room.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Don't go!"
When Xu Hanyi heard the knock on the door, her brows furrowed, and she hugged Lin Chuan tightly with her lotus-like arms.
"Master, have you forgotten your promise?"
"..."
"But……"
"Be good Yiyi, I'll be back soon."
"Um……"
Lin Chuan quickly put on his clothes, then walked to the door with ease and slowly opened it. As expected, as soon as the door opened, the first thing that caught his eye was a pair of dreamy lavender eyes.
"Is there anything wrong?" Lin Chuan looked at the person in front of him and asked helplessly.
"I waited for a long time but you didn't come out. I was afraid that the elixir would get cold, so I brought it to you."
Bai Zhi raised her eyes slightly and spoke with concern, holding the bowl of elixir that was still steaming steadily in her hand.
Lin Chuan subconsciously turned his head to look at the bed behind him, only to see Xu Hanyi lying lazily on his side, staring at him with eyes like sharp swords, as if to pierce through him.
"Uh…why don't you take it back? I don't think I need this."
Lin Chuan spoke in a panic, his eyes occasionally glancing at Xu Hanyi on the bed. Xu Hanyi's eyes grew increasingly gloomy, like the depression before a storm. Lin Chuan felt a chill in his heart, hoping Bai Zhi would leave quickly.
"Doesn't your master even allow you to have normal interactions with the opposite sex?"
Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She held the bowl of elixir and stared straight at Lin Chuan. There was a hint of doubt in her words, and there seemed to be a hint of imperceptible sarcasm.
"How is that possible? My master is very kind-hearted, beautiful, and generous. How could she be like you said?"
Lin Chuan quickly raised his voice and retorted, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes. As he spoke, he subconsciously turned around to look at Xu Hanyi on the bed. She was still staring at him, but her eyes seemed to have softened a little. Lin Chuan then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then drink the elixir and prove it to me."
Bai Zhi raised the corner of her mouth slightly, with a bit of stubbornness in her eyes, and stared at Lin Chuan straight on.
"Just drink!"
Lin Chuan gritted his teeth, snatched the bowl of elixir from Bai Zhi's hand, closed his eyes, tilted his head back and poured the elixir into his mouth.
"It seems that I misunderstood Master Xu Feng. It turns out that Master Xu Feng is not that kind of person."
Bai Zhi deliberately dragged out the tone, with a faint smile on her face, but a hint of cunning in her eyes.
After Lin Chuan finished drinking, Bai Zhi took the medicine bowl calmly, then stretched out her slender fingers and gently touched Lin Chuan's slightly red lips.
In an instant, Lin Chuan felt a coolness spreading like a thread, and the wound that was originally aching disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.
"I'm leaving for the immortal ruins tomorrow. Do you want to go?"
Bai Zhi tilted her head slightly, her eyes showing a hint of anticipation, her gaze fixed on Lin Chuan.
"Of course I will go." Lin Chuan agreed without hesitation.
"for her?"
Bai Zhi narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze fixed on Lin Chuan, her eyes revealing an indescribable emotion.
"The same to you?"
Lin Chuan did not answer Bai Zhi's question, but asked in return.
"Almost, but more because of you."
As Bai Zhi spoke, she gently raised her jade hand and elegantly smoothed the slightly messy hair on her forehead. Then her eyes fell directly and unreservedly on Lin Chuan, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.
"Chuan'er, aren't you done talking yet? Why don't you go to Saint Baizhi's room and chat?"
Xu Hanyi lay on the bed, staring at the door with his eyes fixed. There seemed to be burning anger in his eyes, as well as a deep possessive desire surging in his eyes.
She bit her lower lip slightly, secretly thinking that if Lin Chuan dared to really go to Saint Baizhi's room, then she wouldn't mind asking Baiyun Holy Land to replace the Saint. But even so, her eyes became increasingly gloomy, like the depression before the storm, which made people shudder.
"I'm going back first. You...you should go out early tomorrow."
Bai Zhi lowered her eyes slightly, her tone carrying a subtle hint of tenderness and anticipation. She bit her lower lip, as if she was about to say something but hesitated. After her gaze lingered on Lin Chuan for a moment, she turned and left.
"..."
"It's easy for you to come and go, but it's miserable for me."
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, looking at Bai Zhi's departing back, feeling helpless.
"Everyone's gone, why is Chuan'er still standing there? If you have something to say, go to her room and continue."
Xu Hanyi's voice came faintly from inside the house, filled with strong jealousy and a hint of faint anger. The tone seemed to contain countless sharp thorns, which made people feel uneasy.
"Master is angry?" Lin Chuan shrank his neck, his voice sounding a little cautious.
"How dare I get angry? Chuan'er went to great lengths to torment me, asking me to promise this and that. Isn't it just to prevent me from disturbing you and Bai Zhi's love affair?"
Xu Hanyi raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of coldness in her eyes, staring at Lin Chuan closely.
"..."
"Master..."
Lin Chuan moved closer to Xu Hanyi and held her in his arms.
"Humph!"
Xu Hanyi wanted to resist, but for some reason her body just couldn't muster the strength. Feeling embarrassed and angry, she had no choice but to snort coldly, slightly opened her lips, and bit Lin Chuan's shoulder.
Lin Chuan closed his eyes slightly, but the severe pain he imagined did not come. He looked down and saw Xu Hanyi's face showing hesitation, his teeth resting on his shoulder, but he did not bite down.
"It seems that the previous teachings by words and deeds were very effective. It seems that I have corrected my master." Seeing this, Lin Chuan was secretly delighted in his heart, and suddenly felt that his path as a scumbag seemed to be smoother.
However, Lin Chuan's happiness didn't last long when the cold voice came again.
"Are you familiar with Bai Zhi?"
Xu Hanyi's tone still revealed a strong sense of displeasure and inquiry, and the scrutiny in his eyes had not diminished in the slightest.
Lin Chuan had no choice but to honestly tell the whole story of how he met Bai Zhi. However, when talking about the transaction with Bai Zhi, he deliberately downplayed it.
He knew very well that if the transaction process was revealed, given Xu Hanyi's sickly and jealous personality, this day next year would probably become the anniversary of his and Bai Zhi's death.
"Then you're all clear, why does she keep looking for you? Is there something Chuan'er is hiding from me?"
Xu Hanyi's brows were tightly furrowed, and her eyes were fixed on Lin Chuan as if they could penetrate his mind.
"The transfer of the immortal body is bound to be unstable. Bai Zhi came to me to help stabilize her immortal body."
Lin Chuan said this with a stiff upper lip, his heart pounding as he secretly prayed that Xu Hanyi would believe it.
"Then why does she make aphrodisiac elixirs for you every day?"
Xu Hanyi's brows furrowed even deeper, his tone full of doubt, and his eyes were like two sharp blades, piercing straight at Lin Chuan.
"Uh... this is..." Lin Chuan was suddenly speechless, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his brain was working fast, trying to come up with a reasonable excuse.
"My disciple asked her to help me get through this. After all, I've been working day and night, so it's inevitable that I'm a little..." Lin Chuan stuttered, avoiding her gaze and not daring to look directly at Xu Hanyi.
"You'd better tell the truth! If I find out you and Bai Zhi..."
Xu Hanyi snorted coldly, his voice full of displeasure and warning.
