Chapter 1429: Chapter 1388: Don’t Leave Me

“Someone… seems to be moved.”

Looking at Miao Conglu, who was sleeping soundly in Lu Chuan’s arms, Yun Ji pursed her lips, a trace of resentment flashing in her eyes.

“By the heavens, I really didn’t, the only reason I saved her was just to fulfill my own promise.”

Lu Chuan sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, intending to push Miao Conglu away, but Miao Conglu caught his wrist and held it in front of her, changing position and continued to sleep. With no choice, Lu Chuan could only withdraw his hand.

“Don’t just stand there, come and help me, will you?”

“I didn’t say it was you, why are you so excited? From what I see, you’re enjoying it, aren’t you? Such a beautiful girl willingly seeks you out, you must be quite pleased, right?”

“Come on, I don’t care, time can’t be wasted like this, whether she’s awake or not, whatever!”

Miao Conglu had slept soundly after consuming the elixir pill. It’s been almost three hours. Although no one else had found the Tomb Palace yet and it was relatively safe, Lu Chuan just wanted to get the Twin Bracelets quickly and leave, find a safe place to take the Blood Pill, how could he waste time here?

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan directly picked Miao Conglu up and set her on the ground. Despite trying to be as gentle as possible, he still woke her up.

Noticing the flash of terror in those unusual eyes, Lu Chuan said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, you can sleep, Yun Ji would guard you here, I’ll find a way to locate the Twin Bracelets.”

“Don’t… don’t leave me alone!”

Lu Chuan: “What? You’ve misunderstood, I didn’t plan to leave you, I’ll be back soon.”

“Please don’t, Lu Chuan, don’t leave me, okay?”

Looking at Miao Conglu’s slightly reddened eyes, Lu Chuan felt a bit speechless.

What… what is this situation?

Was her attitude like this before? Or was he hallucinating?

Lu Chuan cast a look for help to Yun Ji, but Yun Ji shrugged, indicating she had no way either.

Miao Conglu’s current state clearly showed dependency on Lu Chuan.

As for why, it was probably because Lu Chuan had protected her from thieves, even to the extent of kneeling?

If it were him, he might not differ much from Miao Conglu.

Reportedly, the Human Clan, especially cultivators, valued their moral integrity, it could even be above life.

“A warrior may die but not be shamed,” is an example of this principle.

Yet Lu Chuan did it, without any hesitation.

“Alright, he won’t leave you, come over here, let Lu Chuan find the Twin Bracelets quickly, don’t waste time.”

Yun Ji said, bringing Miao Conglu over from Lu Chuan’s arms, letting her lean on her shoulder, she sighed, “Quickly sleep, once you wake up, Lu Chuan will be done, then we’ll leave, then you can cling to Lu Chuan as much as you want.”

“Is… is it true?”

“Really, you probably don’t know, this guy has more than a dozen women, one more or less won’t matter, hurry and rest.”

Yun Ji forcibly closed Miao Conglu’s eyes, then waved towards Lu Chuan.

“Hurry up.”

“Understood.”

Lu Chuan smiled wryly, pinched the bridge of his nose, then stood up and left, continuing to explore deeper into the Tomb Palace.

“Yun Yan, can you sense the Twin Bracelets?”

“It’s very blurry, but I can faintly determine the general direction, it’s at the area in front left of you.”

“This thing, wasn’t it buried by you initially? You don’t even know where you buried it?”

“Before leading the Demon Tribe to counterattack the Human Clan, I was taken away by the Demon Suppression Pagoda, how would I know what happened afterward? You’re asking too much.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan nodded thoughtfully, arrived at the tombstone, silent condolences in his heart, pulled out the entire tombstone from the ground, opened the coffin, and almost got knocked out by a pungent stench.

“Oh my, it’s too foul! After so many years, the corpse hasn’t completely decomposed?”

Lu Chuan could even clearly see the crawling maggots wriggling among the corpse, having quite the fun!

“Demon Tribe’s corpses are different from human corpses, their bodies are often strong, decomposition is slower, it’s reasonable. But you, you just dug up our clansman’s coffin, is that polite?”

“Then what should I do!”

“…Continue, just remember to restore it.”

“No need for you to remind me.”

Lu Chuan rolled his eyes, nailed the coffin back shut, dropped it into the grave, and placed the tombstone back.

Unfortunately, Yun Ji couldn’t accurately pinpoint the exact location of the Twin Bracelets, so Lu Chuan could only check one by one. Finally, when Lu Chuan had once again removed a tombstone carved with a Nine-tailed Fox statue, opened the coffin, and the stench didn’t appear.

The coffin contained no corpse, only a luxurious long dress, made with gold thread lines and white jade buttons, in colors of red and gold, embroidered with a vivid phoenix.

And beneath the dress, there were numerous hair accessories, such as the Phoenix Crown, Jade Tassel, Gold Hairpin, and others that even Lu Chuan couldn’t name.

“This must be the place, right?”

Lu Chuan squatted down, carefully flipping through that pile of hair accessories, but strangely, Yun Yan became inexplicably quiet just when she should have been helping identify.

“Yun Yan, Yun Yan?!”

“Sorry, I got distracted.”

“These used to be your things, right? Seeing these must have triggered some of your memories, but what surprises me is that even after so many years, there’s still no Shi Huai.”

“Some things are hard to let go of, even if I have repeatedly told myself they are past events, mentioning them now only causes inexplicable sadness, yet the sorrow from that time still uncontrollably influences me.

The thing we’re looking for is here, take the Twin Bracelets, and leave the rest as they are.”

“You don’t plan to take them?”

These things, judging by their quality as Magic Artifacts, seemed exceptionally precious, especially that embroidered Phoenix long dress, not only beautiful but probably of high quality. What did Yun Yan go through back then that made her so eager to escape her memories?

“I don’t need them anymore, these things hold no significance to me now, though if you want them, feel free to take them.”

“…Better leave them here, since they are your possessions, let them stay here, buried alongside memories you don’t wish to relive.”

After retrieving the Twin Bracelets, Lu Chuan sealed the coffin again, returned it to the tombstone, hesitated for a long time, then took out a fresh red, tender Other Shore Flower, leaning it against the tombstone.

“A flower that never wilts, offered as a tribute to you.”

“Thank you, but it should be taken away soon, right?”

“…Very likely.”
