Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 412 - 412 393 Recognition_1

412: Chapter 393 Recognition_1 412: Chapter 393 Recognition_1 Situ Qinghuan’s emotions were in a state of excitement, and when she saw her master suddenly knock Lu Chuan down and then take off the other’s shoes and socks, her mind was a bit muddled.

When she saw the three black moles on the sole of Lu Chuan’s foot, her expression changed to one of astonishment, then turned to shock, and finally to disbelief.

Then she ran over strangely, crouched down, and grabbed Lu Chuan’s foot, muttering to herself, “This…

This can’t be possible!”

The three moles on the sole of Lu Chuan’s foot were very similar to those on Brother Deer’s foot in her memory, in both location and shape.

The only difference was their size.

Back when she and Brother Deer huddled together under a bridge for warmth, because she had lost her shoes and her feet were freezing cold, Brother Deer gave her his shoes to wear.

They didn’t fit, but they protected her from the cold’s assault, yet Brother Deer’s feet ended up covered with frostbite.

At that time, she felt sorry for Brother Deer and helped him clean his wounds, and that’s when she saw the three moles on the bottom of his feet.

Because this experience was so deeply etched in her heart, she clearly remembered the three moles on Brother Deer’s feet.

She was almost certain that the three moles on Lu Chuan’s feet were the same as those on Brother Deer’s feet.

“Brother Deer…

Lu Chuan…

Is Lu Chuan Brother Deer?”

Situ Qinghuan stared blankly at Lu Chuan, only at this moment realizing that Lu and Deer were homophones.

The Brother Deer she’d been searching for could very well be Brother Lu.

But if Lu Chuan was Brother Deer, why wouldn’t he remember me?

At this point, she remembered that she had never mentioned Brother Deer to Lu Chuan, only ever mentioning to him that she had someone she cherished.

It made sense that he would not be aware of this matter.

So she quickly asked, “Eighteen years ago, did you save a little girl who was living on the streets and then lived with her as her companion for a while?”

Lu Chuan was in agony at the moment, the sudden influx of power into his body was unbearable.

He didn’t understand why the old man had suddenly taken off his shoes and socks and, upon hearing Situ Qinghuan’s question, he was even more bewildered.

However, the question did remind him of an incident not long after he had been sent to the orphanage, when he couldn’t accept the fact that he had become an orphan and ran away from the orphanage one time.

At that time, he was penniless and could only sleep in a bridge hole, living each day not knowing if he would have a next meal, and it was during this time that he encountered a little beggar who had collapsed on the street.

The little beggar was a girl, dirty and looking as though she had fainted from hunger.

Lu Chuan thought she had also run away from the orphanage and, feeling a kindred compassion, took the little beggar back to the bridge hole and fed her his remaining bit of food.

Later, he felt he was struggling to find enough food even for himself and if he kept this burden with him, they might both starve to death.

Hence, he decided to abandon the little beggar.

What he didn’t expect was that upon waking up, the little beggar clung to him and refused to leave no matter what, leaving him no choice but to reluctantly continue with an extra burden to solve the daily problem of finding food.

Back then, they were just kids with no ability to work.

The thought of earning money through labor was out of the question, so they survived using questionable methods to fill their bellies.

Originally, he didn’t have to go hungry, but ever since he encountered this little beggar, he had to share most of his food with her every day, which meant he could only endure the hunger, while insisting that he wasn’t hungry.

He was determined to rid himself of the little beggar, and deliberately never told her his name, claiming that he had transformed from a deer.

By doing this, he thought she wouldn’t be able to find him once he’d gotten away from her.

However, who could have expected that the little beggar not only became dependent on him but also developed feelings for him, insisting on marrying him.

Unable to withstand her persistent nagging, he had reluctantly agreed.

The two of them lived together for quite a long time, and most of Lu Chuan’s memories were of himself being hungry and having to coax the little beggar to sleep each day.

Of course, he had many happy moments during that time, and he eventually grew quite fond of the little beggar.

Later, the family of the little beggar found her and took her away, and he was sent back to the orphanage.

Since so much time had passed, his memories of that period had become somewhat blurred.

If it weren’t for Situ Qinghuan suddenly bringing it up, he might have almost forgotten about that time.

He looked at Situ Qinghuan and said, “Indeed, there was such an incident.

Why do you ask?”

Seeing Lu Chuan’s confirmation, and combining the three moles on his foot, Situ Qinghuan was now sure that this man was the Brother Deer she had always wanted to find.

She never imagined that the person she had been yearning for was right by her side, and that so much had happened between them.

If she had known earlier that Lu Chuan was her Brother Deer, how could she possibly have found fault with him at every turn?

Tears slid down her cheeks, overwhelmed with the joy and emotion of suddenly finding her beloved, she struggled to control her feelings.

She looked at Lu Chuan excitedly and said, “I am the little girl you saved back then, Brother Deer, don’t you remember me?”

Lu Chuan was stunned, looking at Situ Qinghuan in disbelief, he said, “You are that little beggar?

How…

how can this be possible!”

In his memory, that little beggar was filthy, like a little soot ball.

He couldn’t associate Situ Qinghuan, a woman of peerless beauty, with the little beggar at all.

Situ Qinghuan said, “It’s me, have you forgotten our promise from back then?”

A promise?

What promise?

Lu Chuan was baffled, not able to recall any promise he’d made with her.

After all, they were just children back then; who could remember what was said?

However, seeing Situ Qinghuan’s earnest expression, it seemed possible he had truly made some promise with her.

He acknowledged that girls tend to be more emotional and mature earlier, and although they were young back then, the possibility that the little beggar took his words seriously did exist.

Suddenly, he realized something and quickly asked, “So, the person of your affections that you mentioned, it’s actually me?”

Situ Qinghuan, while wiping her tears, nodded and said, “Yes, why else do you think I was so insistent?

My heart was already completely yours since the time we slept under the bridge.”

Lu Chuan suddenly felt as if he was on a roller coaster; previously, Situ Qinghuan had refused to share a room with him at all costs, even if it meant sacrificing the power she had cultivated.

His spirits had plummeted, feeling certain he was doomed, but now, with an astonishing turn of events, he had become the man of Situ Qinghuan’s heart.

Did this not mean that there was still a chance for him to resolve the karmic debt owed to the Great Elder?

The old man was also looking at Situ Qinghuan with a face full of surprise and said, “So after all this fuss, your beloved is actually Lu Chuan?”

Situ Qinghuan nodded shyly.

The old man looked helpless and said, “If you liked him, you should have told me earlier.

Then I wouldn’t have had to go to such lengths to try and bring you two together.”

Situ Qinghuan also felt a bit embarrassed and said, “Who knew the person you wanted me to marry would be my Brother Deer?

If I had known sooner, I wouldn’t have opposed you at every turn.

Perhaps this is fate’s mockery.”

“But fortunately, I eventually recognized him, so none of this is too late.”

The old man chuckled and asked, “So are you willing to share a room with him now?”

Situ Qinghuan’s face turned a deep red.

Now that she knew Lu Chuan was Brother Deer, she naturally didn’t have any aversion, but she felt that having just recognized Lu Chuan, and then to hurriedly share a room with him, wouldn’t it seem too unreserved?

So she said, “I still need to think about this matter.”

The old man had already guessed Situ Qinghuan’s thoughts and said with a laugh, “You can think about it, but Lu Chuan doesn’t have time to wait.

If you do not extract the power from his body soon, he will burst and die.”

“Since you’re hesitating so much, I won’t force you.

Fortunately, I took in a junior sister for you these past two years.

She is much more obedient than you are.

I can only take Lu Chuan to her for help now.”

Having said that, he was about to take Lu Chuan away.

Situ Qinghuan panicked when she heard this and hurriedly stopped the old man, saying, “No!”

The old man, smiling, said, “Didn’t you still have to think about it?

But Lu Chuan can’t wait anymore.”

Situ Qinghuan gritted her teeth and made up her mind, saying, “Isn’t it fine if I save him?”

After speaking, she walked up to Lu Chuan and said, “I’m only doing this to save you.

I’m not some loose woman who wants to get intimate with you as soon as we’ve recognized each other!”

Lu Chuan quickly nodded and said, “Yes, yes, when we were younger, I knew you were a girl who was true to her feelings.

For a promise made in our childhood, you’ve waited for me for so long, how could you be a loose woman.”

Situ Qinghuan then lost her psychological barrier and said to the old man, “Master, please take him to my room.”

The old man smiled without saying anything else, released a force that lifted up Lu Chuan, and sent him through the air into that loft.

Situ Qinghuan glanced at the old man again with some embarrassment and said, “Master, I was wrong to blame you all these years; I won’t oppose the marriage you have arranged for me anymore.”

“I…

I need to go save someone now, so I can’t talk with you any longer.

Thank you for helping me find Brother Deer, I won’t oppose you anymore!”

Having said that, she hurried away.

The old man laughed as he stroked his beard and said lightly, “It seems I no longer need to worry about those two.

It’s time for me to deal with my own affairs.”

As soon as the words fell, his figure vanished into thin air, leaving only a liberating chuckle behind.

…

Inside the loft.

Lu Chuan landed on the bed, the power within his body almost tearing him apart, causing him unbearable pain.

Situ Qinghuan then ran in.

Her face flushed with shyness, she closed the door behind her and pretended to act nonchalant as she approached the bed, asking, “Are…

are you okay?”

Lu Chuan endured the pain and said, “What do you think?”

Situ Qinghuan sat at the edge of the bed, shyly asking, “I…

I’ve never done this, how do I help you?”

Lu Chuan knew from her demeanor that she had agreed to the deed, and without delving into deep emotions, he pulled her into his embrace and said, “It’s simple, you just need to discuss a few billion-dollar projects with me.”

Situ Qinghuan’s eyes widened, “I have to give you money?

And billions at that?

I don’t have that much!”

Lu Chuan, between laughter and tears, said, “It’s me who gives to you, only, it’s not money…”

“Then what is it?” Situ Qinghuan, lying in Lu Chuan’s arms like an innocent and anxious little kitten, asked full of curiosity.

“You’ll find out soon enough,” Lu Chuan said without explaining too much, as he lowered his head and kissed Situ Qinghuan.

…

At the foot of the mountain.

The old man’s figure suddenly appeared.

He turned his head and looked in the direction of the Profound Sect, muttering, “I forgot to tell that young man that the juniors of the Kunlun Domain’s Lu family all carry marks left by their family elders.

Upon death, the last scene before dying can instantly be transmitted back to the family.

Now, the Lu family probably already knows Lu Xuan died at Lu Chuan’s hands.

Even though Lu Xuan was not favored at home, he was still the Family Head’s son, and the Lu family definitely cannot tolerate a junior being killed by someone from the secular world.”

“Lu Chuan will likely face considerable trouble in the future.”

“Well, this could also be considered an experience for him.

I believe with his strength and talent, he will definitely turn misfortune into a blessing.

If I help him with everything, how will he shoulder the responsibilities that belong to him in the future?”

Having said this, his figure disappeared once more, and the world returned to tranquility.
