Chapter 1374 - 1374 1333 Xiu Niang's Request

1374: Chapter 1333: Xiu Niang’s Request 1374: Chapter 1333: Xiu Niang’s Request “That’s more like it…”

Ji Weiwei let out a soft snort and gently hooked her arms around Lu Chuan’s neck, allowing him to carry her back to the bathroom.

The two of them undressed and embraced each other as they lay in the bathtub.

“Now that you’re back, will you leave again this time?”

Ji Weiwei glanced at the kiss marks on Lu Chuan’s neck, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed.

“Mm…

In a little while, I might have to head to the Island Country.

I’ll likely be staying there for a while.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, his hand gently caressing Ji Weiwei’s Tun’er, causing her face to flush and her heartbeat to race.

“Can…

Can I go with you?”

“Not this time.

This trip to the Island Country might be dangerous.

I can’t guarantee I’ll make it back in one piece, and I absolutely can’t let you take the risk with me.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Weiwei couldn’t help but feel a bit despondent.

They had just reunited, and soon they’d be separated again.

The pain of longing was agonizing.

As if sensing Ji Weiwei’s mood, Lu Chuan curled up his lips in a smile and said, “That’s why before I leave, we should treasure every moment we have together.”

“Nice words, but weren’t you just—”

Before Ji Weiwei could finish, Lu Chuan leaned in and kissed her.

Ji Weiwei stiffened instinctively but quickly began clumsily responding.

That night stretched far longer than either had imagined.

And for Xiu Niang?

Even more so.

“Shameless!”

Xiu Niang bit her lip lightly, her cheeks flushed red, as she angrily shut the window.

A whole day and night!

Since Lu Chuan returned, he first went to Mu Nanqing’s room and didn’t come out until evening.

When Xiu Niang finally had the chance, Lu Chuan turned around and went straight to Ji Weiwei’s room, staying there the entire night.

She had foolishly waited all night!

But what choice did Xiu Niang have?

Ever since Lu Chuan helped her reshape her physical body, Xiu Niang had felt there was something odd about her condition.

No matter how handsome the male cultivator or how robust the martial artist, none of them stirred any interest in her.

Her mind was filled only with thoughts of Lu Chuan.

Initially, Xiu Niang dismissed it, thinking it was just frivolous nonsense.

But as time wore on, the feeling grew more intense.

Aside from Lu Chuan, she found all other men repulsive, urgently craving to see him, to the point where she was nearly losing her sanity.

Clearly, she was afflicted.

Perhaps it was because Lu Chuan used his essence blood as the primary catalyst when refining the elixir pill to reshape her body.

Her physical form had developed an almost obsessive dependency on Lu Chuan, leading her to concoct an excuse to remain at the Hanging Gourd Medical Hall and wait for his return.

And now, he was back—yet she still couldn’t get to him.

Furious, Xiu Niang smashed everything she could in her room.

It wasn’t until noontime that Lu Chuan finally emerged from Ji Weiwei’s room.

Spotting him by the window, Xiu Niang’s eyes immediately lit up.

She was about to go find him but hesitated.

Wouldn’t seeking him out seem too deliberate?

“I won’t go looking for him!

I refuse to believe he’s not curious about what I mentioned before.”

As it turned out, Lu Chuan truly wasn’t curious.

After leaving Ji Weiwei’s room, he turned and headed straight to Mu Nanqing’s place.

“This philanderer—doesn’t he ever get tired?!”

Xiu Niang gritted her silver teeth, her headache worsening from her irritation.

In truth, Lu Chuan wasn’t uninterested; he simply had forgotten altogether.

Still, Lu Chuan didn’t linger in Mu Nanqing’s room for long.

Mainly, he was chased out by Mu Nanqing, who forbade him from disturbing her sleep.

Left with no choice, Lu Chuan went to the clinic to take up his duties.

Xiu Niang no longer dallied.

She got up and headed to the clinic.

She couldn’t afford to wait anymore.

If Lu Chuan disappeared into someone else’s room again, who knows how long it would take!

At the clinic, Lu Chuan was seated at the counter, engrossed in a medical text.

Beside him was Chu Xiaoxiao, painstakingly transcribing medicinal theories.

Occasionally, Lu Chuan offered her a few pointers.

“This won’t work at all.

Go memorize it better, and I’ll quiz you again.

Be serious.”

“Got it…”

Chu Xiaoxiao pouted.

Though she wasn’t thrilled by Lu Chuan’s strictness, she had no recourse.

After all, compared to Mu Nanqing, Lu Chuan was already quite lenient.

If it were Ms.

Nanqin disciplining her, she’d be smacking her palms by now.

“Oh, Xiu Niang, what brings you here?”

“If I didn’t come looking for you, you’d probably have forgotten what we talked about yesterday!”

Xiu Niang plopped down beside Lu Chuan, snatched the book from his hands, and slammed it onto the table.

“Lu Chuan, you’re just so bad at taking me seriously!”

“Uh…

What did you say again?”

Hearing this, Xiu Niang grew even angrier.

Raising her hand, she looked ready to slap him.

Lu Chuan dodged with a nervous chuckle, “Wait, wait, wait!

Don’t get physical!

Give me a hint?”

“We agreed before: You help me recover my physical body, and I’ll tell you the location of an Ancient Ruin!”

“Oh, right!

I nearly forgot.

You still haven’t told me about that.”

“You didn’t ‘nearly forget.’ You outright forgot!”

Xiu Niang pinched the bridge of her nose, silently urging herself to stay calm and not lose her temper over petty things.

But seeing Lu Chuan’s hopelessly oblivious expression, she struggled to hold back.

“Lu Chuan, are you brainless?

I left in a hurry before and forgot to tell you.

Couldn’t you at least remind me?”

“Ugh, you stormed off without a word.

How was I supposed to remind you?

Are you going to tell me or what?”

“The Ancient Ruin is located in the Island Country, near an active volcano.”

“An active volcano?

What a coincidence…”

“What coincidence?”

Lu Chuan shook his head and deflected, “Nothing, nothing.

It just so happens I plan to head to the Island Country in a few days anyway.

Tell me how to access the ruins, and I’ll swing by to take a look.”

“I’m going with you.”

“You’re coming too?”

“What’s the problem?

Can’t I?

I’m Nascent Soul Eightfold, you know.

Don’t tell me you’re worried I’ll slow you down.”

Lu Chuan waved his hands repeatedly, smiling wryly.

“Of course not—it’s not that at all.

It’s just that the journey to the Island Country is long.

If anything happens to you along the way, I couldn’t handle the consequences.”

“No need to worry.

I want to see for myself what kind of fortunes might be hidden in that Ancient Ruin.

Don’t worry, I won’t fight you for it.”

“Hmm…

Alright then.

Let’s make it three to five days, and we’ll set out for the Island Country.

Take some time to prepare in the meantime.”

“Why wait so long?

Can’t we leave today?”

Lu Chuan rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, “You might be all alone, but I’ve got two delicate beauties here.

You’re fine leaving; I’m not ready to say goodbye yet!”

Seeming to pick up on Lu Chuan’s thoughts, Xiu Niang snorted coldly, threw him a reproachful look, and stormed out.

Watching her retreating figure, Lu Chuan grew even more bewildered.

“Did she take the wrong pills or something?

Why’s her temper so fiery today?”

Had he provoked her?

Not at all!

Tch, women are so hard to understand.
