186: Chapter 182 The Effect of Peach Blossom Brew_1 186: Chapter 182 The Effect of Peach Blossom Brew_1 Lu Chuan heard this and quickly said, “Auntie, at the end of the day, this wine does have some mystical effects, wouldn’t it be inappropriate for you to drink it as well?”

Zhou Yun replied, “What’s wrong with that?

I’ve always liked men; drinking it won’t affect me in any way.”

After thinking it over, Lu Chuan said, “That’s true, then you take a sip first to taste it.”

Zhou Yun took the wine bottle from Lu Chuan’s hand, opened it, and was about to take a sip.

Inside, she still trusted Lu Chuan, and being at the Han family’s residence, she didn’t think Lu Chuan would dare to have any crooked ideas here.

Just as she was about to drink the Peach Blossom Brew.

Suddenly, Han Qingci beside her snatched the wine bottle away and said, “Even if it’s poisoned, I don’t want you to taste it for me.

I want you to understand, it’s not wrong for a girl to like girls, and no matter how magical the potion, it can’t change that!”

Having said that, she drained the wine bottle in one gulp.

Lu Chuan and Zhou Yun both looked at Han Qingci with curious faces, wanting to know what kind of change would occur to her.

They saw a peculiar strength envelop Han Qingci, followed by a pink glow appearing in her eyes, which twinkled for a few seconds before disappearing.

“Daughter, how do you feel?” Zhou Yun quickly asked.

With a hint of confusion on her face, Han Qingci said, “I feel…”

Her gaze fell on Lu Chuan, and the peculiar strength around her instantly locked onto him, turning into a beam of light that shot into his body.

Then she showed a silly smile and said, “Mom, I think…

I kind of like him.”

Zhou Yun burst into tears upon seeing this and walked over to embrace Han Qingci, saying, “My good girl, you finally like men, I don’t have to worry about this anymore.”

She knew her daughter best, and could tell at a glance whether Han Qingci was lying, so she was very certain that Han Qingci truly liked Lu Chuan.

With a shy look, Han Qingci asked, “Mom, don’t we have a marriage contract?

Can I…

marry him?”

Zhou Yun said with a smile, “Of course, you can.

The two of you are under a marriage contract; you are meant to be married.”

Han Qingci’s face lit up with happiness, and she bounced over to Lu Chuan, took his arm coyly, and said, “Brother Lu Chuan, I really like you; can we be together?”

Lu Chuan, completely bewildered, hurriedly said, “Miss Han, there are plenty of good men in the world, with your looks and family background, what kind of man can’t you find?

Now that you’ve started to like men, there’s no need to fixate on me.”

Han Qingci shook her head and said, “I don’t like other men; I only like you.”

Lu Chuan frowned, thinking to himself, could it be that the Peach Blossom Brew Fuxiang gave him simply didn’t work, and Han Qingci was pretending just so her mother would believe it?

Zhou Yun said with a smile, “Lu Chuan, isn’t this a good thing?

Since Qingci has fallen for you, and you two are under a marriage contract, why don’t you just be together?

You don’t need to worry about the marriage arrangements; our Han family will take care of it all.”

Lu Chuan became anxious and said, “Auntie, I don’t want to get married yet.

I really just came for the Dragon Soul Jade.”

Hearing Lu Chuan’s words, Han Qingci’s face was filled with hurt, and she was on the brink of tears, “Brother Lu Chuan, don’t you like me?”

Lu Chuan felt a wave of exasperation and said, “That’s not what I mean, I’m saying…”

Zhou Yun cut him off, her face cold as she said, “My daughter has finally taken a liking to a man, and if you dare to break her heart and make her revert to how she was before, I assure you, I won’t let you off the hook!”

“You don’t want to get married, that’s fine.

You just met, you can start by dating, if you agree, I will give you the Dragon Soul Jade, but if you don’t, not only will you not get the Dragon Soul Jade, you’ll never think of stepping out of the Han family’s door in this lifetime!”

Afterward, she turned her head to look at Han Qingci and asked, “Qingci, what do you think?”

Han Qingci shyly said, “If Brother Lu Chuan is willing to date me, Qingci…

Qingci will definitely become the best girlfriend in the world!”

Zhou Yun glared at Lu Chuan, “My daughter has made her stance clear, what about you?”

Lu Chuan looked helpless, but seeing Zhou Yun’s expression of “I’ll tear you apart if you don’t agree,” he could only agree for now, “Well…

okay then.”

Zhou Yun’s expression finally softened, and she smiled, saying, “Then you’ll stay at our place for a while, and you two can get to know each other better.

I’ll go get the Dragon Soul Jade for you.”

Having said that, she turned and left.

Lu Chuan looked at Han Qingci with a wry smile and said, “Miss Han, you can let go of my hand now.”

Han Qingci looked puzzledly at Lu Chuan, her lips pouted, and said with a wronged expression, “Why…

Why?

Doesn’t Brother Lu Chuan like Qingci this way?”

Lu Chuan sighed and said, “Miss Han, your mother has already left, you don’t have to pretend to like me anymore.

I know you want to dispel her worries, but you really don’t need to do this.”

The rims of Han Qingci’s eyes immediately moistened, “I’m not pretending, I really like Brother Lu Chuan a lot.”

Lu Chuan, looking at Han Qingci’s demeanor that didn’t seem feigned at all, became even more puzzled.

It’s not an act, so she really could like me?

But I’ve only known her for three days.

Could it be because of the Peach Blossom Brew?

Han Qingci tugged Lu Chuan’s sleeve with a wronged look and said, “Brother Lu Chuan, if there is something about me you don’t like, could you tell me?

I’ll definitely change, no matter what it is.

I’ll listen to Brother Lu Chuan, as long as Brother Lu Chuan can like me.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan thought for a moment and said, “I don’t like that you’re addicted to scratch cards.

Would you be willing to quit them forever for me?”

He knew that for someone addicted to gambling, it was usually very difficult to stop, even if it was just scratch cards.

If Han Qingci was really pretending, she would definitely hesitate or even refuse him.

But he saw Han Qingci answer immediately, “I’m willing!”

Her eyes were clear and resolute, radiating a deep sense of conviction, leaving no room for doubt.

Lu Chuan’s eyes widened, “That’s possible too, looks like it’s really not an act…”

He thought for a moment, then asked, “Is it that whatever I ask you to do, you will obey?”

Han Qingci nodded and replied, “As long as Brother Lu Chuan can continue to like Qingci, Qingci is willing to do anything, and also willing to do anything to make Brother Lu Chuan happy.”

Lu Chuan was utterly shocked, beginning to suspect that what Fuxiang gave him was not a brew that made women fall in love with men, but one that made women docilely obedient.

He pondered for a moment before saying with a serious face, “Then I want to issue you a command.”

Han Qingci’s face immediately lit up with excitement as she said, “Okay, okay!”

If Lu Chuan was giving her commands, it meant he liked her, and she was willing to follow them.

Lu Chuan said solemnly, “I command you to get into Tsinghua University!”

The smile on Han Qingci’s face came to an abrupt halt.

Then, with a wronged expression, she said, “Then I need to go back to high school…”

Seeing her earnest appearance, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but start laughing and said, “I’m just joking with you.”

Han Qingci finally breathed a sigh of relief, her smile returning as she swung Lu Chuan’s arm, saying, “Brother Lu Chuan is the best to me!”

Zhou Yun came back and saw Han Qingci acting coquettishly while holding onto Lu Chuan’s arm.

She was sure her daughter hadn’t lied, and she couldn’t be happier.

She walked up to Lu Chuan, handed over a brocade box, and said, “Inside this box is the Dragon Soul Jade, a priceless treasure and also my old man’s favorite collectible.

However, I’m in a good mood today, so I’m giving it to you.”

Lu Chuan quickly took it, opened it, and glanced inside.

There was a translucent Jade Pendant carved with a lifelike divine dragon that contained tremendous power.

If one listened carefully, they could faintly hear the sound of a dragon’s breath.

“Beautiful jade!” Lu Chuan couldn’t help but exclaim.

He felt a trace of True Dragon Qi on this jade.

If he wished, he could extract this aura to enhance his own strength.

However, since the jade was also needed as the core of the Azure Dragon Great Array Formation, he obviously wouldn’t extract the True Dragon Qi.

“With the Dragon Soul Jade in hand, next up is to collect debts from the Xu family.”

“Now my cultivation has reached the pinnacle of Beginner Foundation Building.

With those thirty hundred-year medicinal herbs, I can try to make a breakthrough.”

“The Xu family set a trap for me, nearly catching me off guard with Fuxiang’s scheme.

If it weren’t for the small wooden token’s effect, I’m afraid I would really have become a slave to Fuxiang.”

At this thought, Lu Chuan suddenly remembered that before he lost consciousness, the wooden token had turned into a beam of light and entered his body.

He quickly checked his body, and then in his Dantian, he discovered a slowly spinning Linglong Pagoda.

This tower was exquisitely intricate, with nine layers, radiating colorful light, identical to the tower he had dreamt of the night before.

Only this one inside his Dantian was much more miniature.

“Is this tower the transformation of the tower on the wooden token?

How did it get into my Dantian?”

Lu Chuan was full of doubts, but now with Zhou Yun and Han Qingci by his side, he couldn’t investigate closely.

Zhou Yun said, “Lu Chuan, I’ve arranged a room for you.

You and Qingci can play for now.

When Qingci’s dad comes home in the evening, we’ll all have dinner together.”

Lu Chuan nodded.

For now, he could only go along with Zhou Yun’s wishes and look for an opportunity to dissuade Han Qingci from her affections later on.

In the afternoon, Han Qingci stuck to Lu Chuan all the time, refusing to leave his side no matter what.

When Lu Chuan tried to send her away, she would cry, and her pitiful look would quickly soften his heart, leaving him with no choice but to agree to let her follow him.

In order to have some quiet time to cultivate, Lu Chuan ordered Han Qingci to sit still and be quiet, or else he would stop liking her.

Han Qingci obediently complied, allowing Lu Chuan a moment of respite.

In the evening, the Family Head of the Han family, Han Chunsheng, returned home.

Lu Chuan joined Han Qingci and her parents, Han Chunsheng and Zhou Yun, for dinner.

Zhou Yun discussed the matter between Lu Chuan and Han Qingci.

Han Chunsheng, a man of few words and steady disposition, agreed to Lu Chuan dating Han Qingci.

He warned Lu Chuan not to mistreat his daughter and said little else.

After dinner, Lu Chuan returned to his room, while Han Qingci was kept behind for a talk with Han Chunsheng and Zhou Yun.

Han Chunsheng and Zhou Yun spoke at length and earnestly to Han Qingci, who was all the while preoccupied with thoughts of Lu Chuan.

As soon as they finished talking, she couldn’t wait to run off.

“As long as I can be with Brother Lu Chuan, I’m the happiest person in the world.”

Han Qingci skipped cheerfully towards Lu Chuan’s room.

But she soon halted.

“Brother Lu Chuan seems a bit dissatisfied with me; I need to ask someone else for advice.”

Thinking thus, she took out her phone and searched online: How to win your boyfriend’s heart?

A flurry of answers appeared immediately.

Han Qingci’s gaze fell on the top-rated response, which read simply three words: Sleep with him.

“Is that so…” A blush crept over Han Qingci’s face before she covered her mouth and stifled a giggle, “Then I should take a bath first.”

In the room.

Lu Chuan sat cross-legged on the bed, thinking how the world had finally quieted down.

In the past, he had longed for a clingy and submissive girlfriend, but now he preferred to be alone in silence.

“While Qingci isn’t here to bother me, I should quickly study the tower in my Dantian.”

He was about to look inwardly at his Dantian when, at that moment, a knock sounded at the door.

Thud, thud, thud.

“Brother Lu Chuan…”
