After becoming a Taoist partner with my senior sister, my master changed

Chapter 481 Ruins

The next day.

"Wanxi, I won't bring anyone with you this time, lest you disregard your own safety again."

Jun Moxie's tone was gentle but filled with unquestionable determination, "But we must bring enough treasures. I picked out some for you from the treasury. Keep them safe."

"..."

Lin Wanxi noticed the dozens of storage bags piled up in front of her, and a helpless smile appeared on her lips. "Did father empty the treasure house?"

"As the saying goes, it's better to be prepared than to be caught off guard. Wanxi, be good and listen to your father. Take it. Maybe it can help not only you, but also your young master."

Xue Ji smiled, stretched out her hand and pushed the storage bag towards Lin Wanxi, her voice full of concern and teasing.

"Aunt Xue..."

A blush instantly appeared on Lin Wanxi's fair face.

She lowered her eyes and hesitated for a moment, then raised her wrist and put all the storage bags into the storage space.

the other side.

"Sister Li, I'm going to the ruins, not the auction. I really don't need so many spirit stones."

Lin Chuan frowned slightly, looking helpless, and gently pushed the bulging storage bag back.

"Then bring more pills."

Before Li Yue finished speaking, she pulled out another storage bag, her expression filled with displeasure, and snorted softly, "It's all your fault for not telling me earlier. Otherwise, how could I have prepared so little?"

She lowered her eyes and glanced at the storage bag in her hand, as if it was still not enough, with a mixture of annoyance and concern between her brows.

"Sister Li, this is too much. I can't eat it as a meal..."

Lin Chuan looked at the storage bag handed to him by Li Yue, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

"There are some elixirs prepared inside to help with the recovery of spiritual consciousness. Please give them to Wanxi...sister..."

Li Yue stuffed the storage bag into Lin Chuan's hand, then turned around and walked quickly into the house.

"Why are you still so shy..."

Lin Chuan shook his head helplessly, but a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his lips.

He turned slowly, his eyes passing over Jiang Wanying and Bai Zhi, and finally landing on Ye Xiaoxiao, who was crying and making a fuss, insisting on following him. His voice instantly became gentle, "Let's go, it's time to leave."

……

The ruins are located where the demons live near the monsters. The demonic energy there is much thinner, but it is still far from being suitable for other races to survive.

"Zhulu Village is just ahead. The entrance to the ruins is in the mountains behind the village."

Lin Wanxi turned her head and whispered to Lin Chuan beside her.

"here……"

Lin Chuan murmured to himself, his eyes fixed on everything in front of him. For no reason, a sense of familiarity slowly rose from the bottom of his heart, as if the scene before him had appeared in his dreams or deep in his memory. He narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to catch that hint of familiarity in his mind.

"What's wrong? Achuan is not feeling well?"

Jiang Wanying keenly noticed Lin Chuan's furrowed brows, and concern instantly appeared in her eyes.

"No, keep going."

Lin Chuan shook his head gently, picked up a pill, and brought it to Lin Wanxi's lips, his movements gentle and skillful.

"Sir, my consciousness is not tired yet, so I don't need to recover."

Lin Wanxi said softly, with a hint of helplessness and anger in her tone.

"Be good and obey."

……

By the time they reached the back of the mountain, night had already fallen, and the last ray of light in the sky had been swallowed by darkness. Lin Chuan pondered for a moment and decided to rest for the night before entering the ruins tomorrow.

"Don't worry too much, Achuan. I will protect you."

Seeing that Lin Chuan was still concentrating on looking at the map in his hand, with a slightly furrowed brow and a hint of worry in his eyes, Jiang Wanying softly comforted him.

"Ah."

Lin Chuan responded softly and slowly put away the map in his hand.

His eyes moved away from the map and fell on the blazing campfire in front of him. The firelight reflected on his face, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

He just sat there in a daze, his thoughts seeming to drift to an unknown distance.

"My husband, is there something on your mind? Or is there one of our sisters here too?"

Bai Zhi raised the corners of her mouth slightly as she gently stroked the well-behaved little white fox in her arms, while looking at Lin Chuan with inquiring eyes.

"..."

Lin Chuan finally came back to his senses. After a moment of hesitation, he followed Bai Zhi's words with a helpless look on his face. He pointed at the particularly abrupt grave not far away and asked with a raised eyebrow, "Are you talking about this?"

"Who knows? If that's true, then I have no choice but to accept this sister."

Bai Zhi tilted her head, her tone light and joking.

"..."

Lin Chuan was speechless for a moment, feeling a bit amused and helpless at Bai Zhi's frivolous words. He coughed lightly and changed the subject, "Let me tell you a story about this remote place."

As he spoke, he added some firewood to the campfire. The flames crackled and the jumping flames reflected on his face, flickering.

"In my hometown, there's a saying that after someone dies, the worst thing to do is to have a cat next to the body..."

Lin Chuan spoke in a low and slow tone, paying attention to the women's reactions as he spoke.

Not long after, Bai Zhi's face turned pale. Holding the little white fox in her arms, she panicked and threw herself directly into Lin Chuan's arms, saying in a trembling voice, "Husband, stop talking. It's so scary."

She hugged Lin Chuan's arm tightly, her body trembling slightly, her eyes full of fear.

"When did you become such a coward?"

Jiang Wanying frowned slightly, looking at Bai Zhi who was nestled tightly in Lin Chuan's arms with a puzzled look, her eyes full of doubts.

However, before she could say anything more, Lin Wanxi, also panicking, quickly walked to the other side of Lin Chuan. Her invisible eyes seemed filled with fear, and her voice trembled slightly: "Master, I'm scared too."

She gently grabbed Lin Chuan's sleeve, her body shivering slightly, as if seeking peace of mind and shelter.

Jiang Wanying just reacted: "???"

"Okay, okay, go to bed early. I won't talk anymore."

Lin Chuan spoke softly, and the two girls reluctantly let go of his hands and slowly returned to their original positions.

"Sister Wanxi is much smarter than that blockhead."

Bai Zhi's eyebrows were curved, and she looked at Lin Wanxi with admiration in her eyes.

"Sister Bai...Sister Baizhi misunderstood. I...I'm really scared."

Lin Wanxi was slightly startled, a blush appeared on her fair cheeks, and there was a hint of panic in her tone.

"Sister Wanxi, don't be so nervous. I didn't say you were pretending. I'm scared too, and Xiaoxiao is scared too. We are all weak women, not like some murderous people."

Bai Zhi smiled and raised her eyebrows at Jiang Wanying while comforting Lin Wanxi.
