Chapter 515: A Superfluous Move
Chapter 515: A Superfluous Move
After some tenderness with Bai Zhi, Lin Chuan returned to his room.
"Why haven't you eaten yet? The food is cold."
As soon as Lin Chuan stepped into the room, he saw Lin Wanxi still sitting at the table. He couldn't help but frown, his tone full of concern.
"I'm using my spiritual power to keep it warm. It won't get cold. I want to wait for you to come back and eat together."
Lin Wanxi gently stroked the rim of the bowl with her fingertips, her voice carrying a hint of soft stubbornness.
"Don't be so silly next time. If I don't come back, will Wanxi not eat?"
Lin Chuan shook his head helplessly, sat down beside her, and gently scratched the tip of her nose with his fingertips.
"But you didn't say you wouldn't come back before you left."
Lin Wanxi blinked cunningly, and hurriedly served rice and dishes to Lin Chuan, with a smile that could not be hidden in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
"You reply to my words, you just like talking back, don't you?"
Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows, tapped Lin Wanxi's forehead with his fingertips, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
"..."
Lin Wanxi said nothing, but her face suddenly turned red.
"..."
Lin Chuan looked at Lin Wanxi's flushed face, the veins on his forehead twitching slightly. After a long silence, he said in a deep voice: "Wanxi, it's good to be diligent and studious, but don't study too much. Promise me that you will forget everything Senior Xue taught you, okay?"
"Hmm." Lin Wanxi nodded slightly.
……
Perhaps because she was too tired, Lin Wanxi couldn't help yawning while eating dinner.
"Go and rest if you're tired. Don't force yourself." Lin Chuan said softly.
"Sir, accompany me."
Lin Wanxi said softly, her voice filled with tenderness and dependence.
"Okay." Lin Chuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, his eyes full of tenderness.
On the soft couch.
Lin Wanxi curled up her body and gently pressed her cheek against Lin Chuan's warm chest. Her hair fell on her shoulders, rising and falling gently with her breathing.
"Young Master, do you really intend to wait until Xiaoxiao reaches the late stage of the Tribulation before becoming her Taoist partner?"
Lin Wanxi looked up at Lin Chuan, with a hint of cautious tentativeness in her tone.
"Why are you asking about this?"
Lin Chuan lowered his head slightly, his eyes met hers, his tone filled with doubt and inquiry.
"In the dream, Young Master seems to have considered Xiaoxiao as his Taoist partner. Why not just remove that condition? After all, the difficulty of transcending the late stage of the tribulation is too high."
Lin Wanxi looked straight at Lin Chuan, her eyes full of earnestness.
"..."
Lin Chuan fell silent, his brows slightly furrowed. After thinking for a moment, he nodded: "That's right. I'll talk to Xiaoxiao when she comes out of seclusion."
After all, even Lin Wanxi has become his Taoist partner, so it would be unreasonable to leave Ye Xiaoxiao alone.
"Sir, do you intend to make Xiaoxiao your Taoist partner in name only, or a real one?" Lin Wanxi asked softly.
"In my eyes, there is no such thing as 'nominal Taoist partner'. As long as I acknowledge him, he will be my Taoist partner." Lin Chuan shook his head with a firm tone.
"What if Xiaoxiao wants to be with the Master..." Lin Wanxi bit her thin lips lightly and her voice gradually became lower.
"You think Xiaoxiao is you? You're always worried about gains and losses, and you won't let go until you've taken the last step."
Lin Chuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and held her tighter in his arms.
"What if..."
Lin Wanxi couldn't help but ask with a hint of persistence in her eyes.
"Then let it be."
……
In the yard.
Xue Ji learned from Jun Moyue that Lin Wanxi had become Lin Chuan's true Taoist partner, so she hurried over.
Seeing that Lin Wanxi's room was empty, she raised a meaningful aunt's smile and looked straight at Lin Chuan's room.
"With the detailed diagrams of the Charioteer I drew based on the ancient books I collected, coupled with the innate magical powers of my clan, Xixi, Xiaoxiao, your position is secure."
Xue Ji shook her head, a confident smile on her lips, and turned to walk out of the yard.
However, just as she took a few steps, she heard a door creak open in the room next to Lin Wanxi.
"Xiaoxiao hasn't rested yet?"
Xue Ji turned around when she heard the voice, with a hint of surprise and concern in her tone.
"Huh?! No...no."
Ye Xiaoxiao had just stuck her head out when she suddenly heard someone calling her, and she trembled with fright.
"Why is Xiaoxiao acting like a thief?"
Xue Ji raised her eyebrows slightly, with a teasing smile on the corner of her lips, and her eyes fell on Ye Xiaoxiao's panicked expression.
"Is there...is there? I..."
Ye Xiaoxiao's gaze wandered between Lin Chuan's door and Xue Ji, and finally she lowered her head in embarrassment, with the ends of her hair falling down, covering her flushed cheeks.
"Isn't she going to Xixi's place?"
Looking at Ye Xiaoxiao's actions, Xue Ji had a bold guess in her mind.
At the same time, in Lin Chuan's room.
As Lin Chuan's breathing gradually became steady, Lin Wanxi, who was leaning in his arms, suddenly opened her eyes and lightly touched his brow with her fingertips. A faint golden light seeped into his skin along her fingertips, quietly constructing a dream for him.
"Why hasn't Xiaoxiao come yet? She should be able to understand that booklet, right?"
She quietly lifted the quilt, then quickly got out of bed, walked to the door and pushed it open.
"..."
The moment she caught a glimpse of Xue Ji, Lin Wanxi's whole body froze, her fingertips tightly gripping the door frame, wishing she could close the door immediately and hide in Lin Chuan's arms.
"It turns out you two sisters have such a good relationship. I wanted Xiaoxiao to take care of you before, but now it seems that I wasted my time."
Xue Ji smiled widely, her gaze wandering over Lin Wanxi, with a hint of ridicule in her eyes.
"Auntie Xue, you misunderstood, I..."
Lin Wanxi was about to explain, but was interrupted by Xue Ji.
"I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."
Xue Ji waved her hand, turned around and left quickly before she finished speaking, leaving Lin Wanxi standing at the door, her fingertips still hanging in the air, her face a little embarrassed.
"Sister Wanxi..."
Ye Xiaoxiao called softly, with a hint of uneasiness in her voice, her fingertips unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes.
"Xiaoxiao, come in quickly."
Lin Wanxi waved at her, turned around and walked into the house first. Ye Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and quickly followed.
……
In the room, candlelight flickered.
"Did Xiaoxiao understand the contents of the booklet?"
Lin Wanxi pointed her fingertips at Lin Chuan's brow again, the candlelight casting a trembling shadow on her eyelashes. "If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me now."
"See...I understand."
Ye Xiaoxiao's face flushed red. The contents of this booklet were like opening a door to a whole new world for her.
"That's good."
Lin Wanxi nodded slightly, her fingertips still resting on Lin Chuan's eyebrows.
"What is Sister Wanxi doing? What happened to the young master?"
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Wanxi's fingertips resting on Lin Chuan's eyebrows, her eyes full of confusion.
"I'm weaving a dream about Xiaoxiao for you..."
Lin Wanxi blushed slightly, lowered her eyes, and gently twisted the remaining spiritual power on her fingertips. "Xiaoxiao, remember to be a little tougher in a while. Don't be afraid of the young master getting angry. He won't blame you."
"Well."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, her eyelashes drooping. At this moment, her mind was like a mess of paste, and she couldn't make any sense of her thoughts.
"Okay, this dream should be over soon. Come on, Xiaoxiao."
Lin Wanxi smiled, raised her hand and gently rubbed Ye Xiaoxiao's head, then turned and walked out the door.
"Sister Wanxi..."
Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly grabbed Lin Wanxi's sleeve, her fingertips trembling slightly, "Xiaoxiao doesn't know what to do..."
"..."
Lin Wanxi was silent for a moment, then softly soothed her, "Xiaoxiao, be good. It's better for you to face this alone. If you're still nervous next time, I'll accompany you."
"Okay... well..."
Ye Xiaoxiao responded in a low voice, her fingertips slowly sliding down Lin Wanxi's sleeve, her eyes full of uneasiness.
"Come on, Sister Xiaoxiao. I'll bring you some porridge tomorrow morning." Lin Wanxi blinked, then turned and left.
"Porridge?"
Ye Xiaoxiao shook her head in confusion, then her eyes fell on Lin Chuan who was lying on the couch.
"Son..."
Ye Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and quickly walked over to Lin Chuan's side to lie down. As a white halo enveloped her body, her slender waist gradually stretched out, and the smooth curves outlined a graceful silhouette, and her petite figure transformed into a curvy figure.
The corners of her eyes were slightly raised, her long eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings, her dark pupils were soaked in watery light, and her eyes were filled with a hint of seductive charm.
"The next thing is..."
Ye Xiaoxiao slowly hooked her arms around Lin Chuan's neck, and at the moment when her head was about to lower, she met a pair of dark pupils that suddenly opened.
"This is... a dream, it's not right!"
Lin Chuan was startled and subconsciously raised his hand to push Ye Xiaoxiao away.
"Sir, please don't push Xiaoxiao away, okay? Xiaoxiao wants to be your Taoist partner."
Ye Xiaoxiao subconsciously hugged Lin Chuan tighter, her voice filled with soft pleading.
"..."
Lin Chuan was silent for a moment, then he finally hugged Ye Xiaoxiao in his arms and said in a deep voice, "Wanxi's idea?"
"No... no, it was Xiaoxiao's idea. If you want to be angry, just be angry at Xiaoxiao."
Ye Xiaoxiao buried her face in Lin Chuan's arms, her voice muffled, full of anxiety and caution.
"..."
Lin Chuan was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "In that case, the previous condition is invalid. Xiaoxiao and I will be Taoist companions from now on."
Really...really?"
Ye Xiaoxiao opened her eyes wide with a look of disbelief, and her fingertips unconsciously tugged at the corner of Lin Chuan's clothes.
"Xiaoxiao, do you want to go back on your word? But there's no use going back on your word. Xiaoxiao and I are already engaged." Lin Chuan said softly, his lips slightly raised.
"No regrets, as long as you don't regret it, Xiaoxiao will never regret it!"
Ye Xiaoxiao raised her head with a firm look in her eyes, as if she was afraid that Lin Chuan would change his mind.
"Xiaoxiao, be good, restrain your coquettishness and go to sleep."
Lin Chuan, who was already affected by the dream, had a slight roll of his Adam's apple, and his voice unconsciously lowered a few degrees. He lowered his eyes slightly to avoid Ye Xiaoxiao's wandering gaze.
"Well……"
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded gently, and just as she was about to restrain her charming aura, her eyes suddenly flickered, and she bit her lip and whispered, "But Xiaoxiao is already your Taoist partner, is it okay..."
"..."
Lin Chuan slowly moved his head closer.
……
After a while, the two separated.
"Is that all right? Let's go to sleep."
Lin Chuan lowered his eyes and looked at Ye Xiaoxiao, and gently gathered her fallen hair with his fingertips.
"..."
Ye Xiaoxiao shook her head slightly, her expression serious and almost stubborn: "This is just a small part."
"???"
"Did Wanxi teach you something?"
Lin Chuan spoke in a deep voice, and there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes as he looked at Ye Xiaoxiao.
"No...no."
Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes were evasive, her voice unconsciously became weak, and her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes.
"How did Ye Xiaoxiao know that it was only a small part?" Lin Chuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, his eyes half-smiling.
"Xiaoxiao...I saw it in a book when I was free...Yes, I saw it in a book."
Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes wandered, and her words were full of panic and hastily put together words.
"Xiaoxiao is so cute."
Lin Chuan raised the corners of his lips gently, with a smile in his eyes.
"Well……"
Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered as she bit her lower lip. "Then, sir, are you willing to complete the rest of the matter with Xiaoxiao?"
"Then I will come to test Xiaoxiao's learning results."
A faint smile appeared on Lin Chuan's lips, and his eyes were filled with interest and anticipation.
"Xiaoxiao will definitely not let you down!"
……
After a while.
"Don't be anxious, sir. Let Rong Xiaoxiao think about it..."
"That's not right. Isn't that what's written in the book? Why..."
"Oh no, is it because I'm a half-demon and different from Wanxi's sisters?"
……
Looking at Ye Xiaoxiao who looked depressed, Lin Chuan smiled helplessly, put his long arms around her, turned over and pressed her under him.
……
In the courtyard, in the pavilion.
Lin Wanxi glanced quickly in the direction of Lin Chuan's room, her tense shoulders suddenly relaxed, and she let out a long breath.
"You don't have much time left, and you're still willing to share your husband with others?"
Bai Zhi leaned against the vermilion pavilion pillar, a smile on her lips.
"..."
Lin Wanxi was unaware of Bai Zhi's approach and was startled by the sudden noise. After coming to her senses, she looked at her with a bit of helplessness: "It's so late, Sister Bai hasn't rested yet?"
"Yesterday there was a cat making noise in the yard, and today there's a fox. How can I sleep?"
Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes fell on Lin Wanxi with a smile, and her words were full of teasing.
"..."
Lin Wanxi's face instantly turned red, and she lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Bai Zhi.
"Jiang Wanying will probably be out of confinement in about three or four days. By then, your husband should be back. Sister Wanxi, remember to do everything you want to do these few days. After all, you don't know when your husband will come to see you next time."
Bai Zhi leaned against the pavilion pillar, her fingertips slowly and leisurely playing with the loose hair on her temples.
"So fast..."
Lin Wanxi was slightly startled, a hint of disappointment flashing across her eyes. After calming down, she looked up at Bai Zhi, "Thank you, Sister Bai, for the reminder. But from what Sister Bai said, are you planning to let me take care of the young master for the next few days?"
"I plan to go back tonight." Bai Zhi said softly.
"what?"
Lin Wanxi was stunned at first, her eyes widened instantly, and her expression was full of surprise.
After she realized what was happening, she looked anxious, her hands subconsciously clenching the corners of her clothes, and she hurriedly explained: "I... I won't occupy the young master forever, and Xiaoxiao won't either. Sister Bai can rest assured."
"What are you thinking about? I just don't want someone to become a god before me." Bai Zhi glanced indifferently at Jiang Wanying's room.
"Sister Bai, why don't you leave tomorrow? Say goodbye to the young master properly."
"No, seeing my husband makes me even less willing to leave."
