Chapter 144 Love
Chapter 144 Love
"I... I saw that you had entered the illusion and were still unaware of it, so I... I wanted to return the Immortal Body to you."
Bai Zhi lowered her head, and her facial expression could not be seen clearly, but her earlobes, which were red and almost dripping with blood, showed that
Bai Zhi's voice was low, with a hint of panic and shyness. She kept her head down, and her lavender hair fell like a waterfall, just covering most of her face, making it difficult to see her specific expression at the moment.
However, even if you can't see her face, you can tell how embarrassed and ashamed she is at the moment just by looking at her earlobes that are so red that they are almost dripping with blood.
Her earlobes were like two ripe cherries, dazzlingly red, revealing her truest emotions. She had mustered up the courage to pull off Lin Chuan's clothes just now. Now that she was caught by Lin Chuan, she was naturally embarrassed and ashamed, not knowing what to do.
"This immortal body can be returned?" Lin Chuan widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
"Ah."
Bai Zhi responded softly and nodded slowly. She still didn't raise her head, but there was a hint of certainty in her voice.
"At what cost?"
Lin Chuan frowned. He knew very well that there was no free lunch in the world. It went without saying that the cost of bringing back the transferred immortal body would be extremely high.
Bai Zhi just knelt quietly beside Lin Chuan, remained silent for a long time, and finally asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with the previous topic.
"Would you be happy if I stopped liking you?"
Because of her technique, the Immortal Body of Purity can be used to help her make up for the shortcomings of her technique. If she loses her Immortal Body of Purity, she will gradually become an emotionless cultivation machine, just like in her previous life. But in the end, she will lose her seven emotions and six desires, and thus will not be able to reach a higher level.
"I have awakened a new physique that can transform into a pure immortal body at a critical moment. So, you don't have to return it to me, and I will be fine."
Lin Chuan shook his head slightly, not knowing whether he was helpless towards Bai Zhi or denying Bai Zhi's question, or perhaps both.
"Ok.
Bai Zhi responded softly and slowly raised her head. There was still a slight blush on her fair face, and her eyes seemed to be filled with a thousand emotions.
But when her eyes just touched Lin Chuan's mouth, she immediately dodged again as if she had touched some taboo. The head that had just been raised also quickly lowered, and her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes. The whole person returned to her previous shy and uneasy appearance.
Lin Chuan didn't notice all this, but slowly sat up from the ground. Just as he was about to get up, he was pulled back by Bai Zhi beside him.
"Don't get up yet." Bai Zhi's voice was soft, with a hint of unquestionableness.
Although Lin Chuan was full of doubts, he still followed Bai Zhi's words and lay back down.
"Lie on my lap."
Before Lin Chuan could react, Bai Zhi had quietly stretched out her legs and sat upright on the ground, her cheeks unconsciously flushed.
"Uh..., what are you doing?"
Lin Chuan's face was filled with embarrassment and confusion, and there was a hint of discomfort in his words.
Bai Zhi didn't say anything, but just pursed her lips, as if she had mustered up her courage, then quickly moved closer to Lin Chuan, with a hint of panic and shyness in her movements, and gently placed his head on her thigh.
The two looked at each other, and for a moment, time seemed to stand still, and the air around them became hot and fiery.
"you……"
Lin Chuan's mind went blank, and so did Bai Zhi. She had wanted to wipe the lip print from Lin Chuan's lips, but at this moment, as if possessed by some unknown force, she lowered her head and leaned forward.
After a long time, the two separated.
Bai Zhi carefully picked up a piece of her clothes and carefully wiped the lip marks from Lin Chuan's mouth. Her eyes were focused and a little shy. She didn't dare to look Lin Chuan in the eye, but lowered her eyes and focused on the movement of her hands. Lin Chuan stared at Bai Zhi in a daze.
"You... should know that between me and my senior sister, and Master... and even in other places..."
Lin Chuan hesitated, and finally spoke slowly after Bai Zhi wiped the lip marks. But as soon as he said this, looking at Bai Zhi's fiery and somewhat aggrieved eyes, he felt an inexplicable panic in his heart, and he even stuttered for a moment.
"I know. Not only that, I also know that you have far more connections than just these. Otherwise, the crystal ball wouldn't have exploded that day."
Bai Zhi bit her lower lip slightly, her tone full of resentment. There was a hint of anger in her eyes as she looked at Lin Chuan, as if she was secretly worried about his complicated emotional line.
"???"
"How come I didn't know that I had other relationships besides this?"
Lin Chuan frowned tightly, his face filled with confusion and doubt.
"I don't know, maybe we haven't met yet."
Bai Zhi shook her head slightly, a hint of helplessness on her face, as if she didn't want to continue dwelling on this confusing topic. Her drooping lavender hair swayed with her movements, adding a bit of loneliness.
"then you……"
Lin Chuan tried to sit up to break the awkward and tangled atmosphere, but as soon as he moved, Bai Zhi gently pushed him back down, so he had to lie back on Bai Zhi's legs.
"After the divination that day, I thought, since you have so many relationships, why don't I stop bothering you, but..." Bai Zhi's hand slowly moved to her heart, her eyes revealing a trace of struggle and reluctance, "But it doesn't agree."
"But I can't even handle the emotions around me. You've seen my master's temper. If she finds out about us, I don't know if I'll be dead or not, but you'll definitely be dead."
Lin Chuan's brows were furrowed, his face filled with helplessness, his mind a turmoil. He couldn't imagine what kind of chaotic, bloody scene it would be if they all got together.
"So, you like me, right?"
"The reason you don't accept me is because you're afraid Xu Hanyi will kill me?"
Bai Zhi's eyes were full of passion and anticipation. She stared at Lin Chuan intently, as if she wanted to see through him, eager to find a positive answer from his expression and answer.
"..."
Lin Chuan didn't answer. Although this was reasonable, he actually preferred that Bai Zhi stay out of it.
"Don't worry, give me some more time, I will definitely be as good as Xu Hanyi! By then..."
Bai Zhi looked at Lin Chuan lying on her lap, and a barely perceptible possessiveness flashed quietly in the depths of her eyes.
