Chapter 174 Porcelain Bottle
"Sister..."
Lin Chuan raised his head and stared at Jiang Wanying on the tree, his lips slightly parted, as if he wanted to say something more to impress her, but he didn't know where to start.
"You should go back, otherwise Master and your... that senior sister will be worried."
Jiang Wanying spoke slowly, her voice revealing a loneliness and bitterness that was hard to conceal.
She still raised her head, not looking at Lin Chuan, but looking at the moon in the sky. The bright moonlight sprinkled on her, but it seemed that it could not dispel the faint sadness emanating from her body. The breeze blew, lifting a few strands of her hair, making her look even more pitiful.
"Senior Sister..." Lin Chuan was filled with anxiety and was about to say something, but before he could finish his words, he was abruptly interrupted by Jiang Wanying's stern shout.
"roll!"
Jiang Wanying almost squeezed out the word from between her teeth. Her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, trying hard to suppress the regret that was beginning to spread in her heart.
She actually didn't want to treat Lin Chuan like this, but the complex feeling of stubbornness and grievance made her unwilling to give in easily. She could only roar out this word fiercely, but her eyes still inadvertently revealed a trace of panic and reluctance.
Seeing that if he continued to stay here, it would probably only make Jiang Wanying more disgusted, Lin Chuan felt helpless and had to slowly stand up, take out a small porcelain bottle from the storage bag, and gently place it under the tree.
"I left something for you under the tree. When you feel better, remember to come get it."
After saying this, Lin Chuan looked up at Jiang Wanying who was still motionless on the tree, sighed secretly, then turned around and slowly walked away.
"..."
Jiang Wanying sat quietly on the tree branch, looking at the bright moon, her lips slightly pursed, her brows slightly furrowed, and her eyes revealed complex emotions.
The silence was like a thick wall, separating her from Lin Chuan. The surroundings were quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind, as if telling her those unspeakable thoughts.
An unknown amount of time passed as the night deepened, leaving the surroundings so quiet that only the occasional chirping of insects could be heard. Jiang Wanying then slowly jumped down from the tree, her graceful figure making almost no sound as she landed.
Her eyes immediately fell on the small porcelain bottle that Lin Chuan left on the ground. There was a hint of curiosity in her eyes, mixed with some complicated emotions.
She squatted down slightly, stretched out her slender fingers, gently picked up the small porcelain bottle, held it in her palm, and looked at it carefully in the moonlight.
"Achuan..."
Jiang Wanying murmured softly, then slowly stretched out her slender fingers, pinched the cork, and gently pulled it out. With a light "pop" sound, the cork was pulled out.
In an instant, a drop of golden liquid was seen quietly suspended at the mouth of the bottle. The liquid seemed to be endowed with magical powers, and was continuously emitting a strong breath of life, like the most vigorous vitality in spring, lingering around, making this small space seem to be instantly injected with endless vitality.
"This is……"
"Why would Achuan give me this?"
Jiang Wanying stared at the drop of golden liquid, her eyes filled with a mixture of shock and confusion.
Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she subconsciously raised her hand and touched the snow-white ends of her hair.
"Could it be that Ah Chuan entered the Immortal Ruins this time just to find the treasure that can prolong my life?"
Jiang Wanying couldn't help but mutter to herself, her voice full of disbelief and a bit of emotion after suddenly realizing the truth.
Her eyes were slightly moist, and her heart seemed to be hit hard by something. She was touched by Lin Chuan's deep affection for her, but also regretted her previous cold words to him. For a moment, all kinds of complicated emotions surged in her heart, making it difficult for her to calm down for a long time.
"Senior Sister, no matter what, my feelings for you are always real, and the fact that I like you will never change."
Lin Chuan's sincere and earnest words before seemed to echo in Jiang Wanying's ears again, and every word struck her heart heavily.
Looking at the treasure in her hand that Lin Chuan had found after venturing into the immortal ruins and which could prolong his life, Jiang Wanying felt more and more deeply the heavy weight behind those words.
Her lips trembled slightly, tears welled up in her eyes, and her heart was filled with a mixture of guilt and emotion. She regretted that she had just driven him away so heartlessly, but was also glad that she had finally accepted the small porcelain bottle that carried his love.
"Stupid Achuan, why didn't you say anything?"
Jiang Wanying scolded him, her voice filled with heartache and self-blame. There was a hint of resentment in her words, but more of it was concern for Lin Chuan. She carefully placed the porcelain vase in her arms, as if it were the most precious treasure in the world, and she couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
Then, she turned into a stream of light and chased in the direction Lin Chuan left.
……
Unlike when he came, Lin Chuan walked aimlessly on the road with heavy steps, without using any cultivation.
At this moment, he hung his head, his eyes were empty and confused, as if he was trapped in a deep whirlpool of thoughts, not knowing where to go. He just walked mechanically, letting the cool night breeze blow on his body, but it could not blow away the melancholy lingering in his heart.
Is it pitiful? Lin Chuan felt that he was not pitiful at all. This was the retribution he deserved for being a scumbag and not keeping his bottom line.
He knew clearly that the truth would eventually come out, but he didn't expect that day to come so soon.
The imagined death by the women did not happen, and he did not follow in Cheng's footsteps. Even if the women around him were full of resentment, they would rather be hostile to each other and cry in secret than hurt him in the slightest.
He should have felt lucky, but he couldn't be happy. Although he was a scumbag, his feelings for the girls were real.
"Achuan..."
Lin Chuan suddenly heard Jiang Wanying calling him. His empty and confused eyes instantly regained a glimmer of light and he quickly turned his head to look behind him.
"I must be sick. I actually thought that Senior Sister would come to see me."
Lin Chuan smiled self-deprecatingly, that smile was full of bitterness and helplessness, and the slightly upturned corners of his mouth concealed loneliness.
"Ill? What kind of illness? Ah Chuan, what else are you hiding from me?"
The anxious and concerned voice once again reached Lin Chuan's ears. Lin Chuan turned around suddenly, his eyes widened, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Jiang Wanying was standing in front of him with an anxious look on her face, her eyes fixed on him, her eyes full of deep worry.
"Senior Sister, why are you..." Before Lin Chuan could finish his words, his hand was grabbed by Jiang Wanying.
"Did you suffer any other injuries in the ruins besides falling in realm? You didn't tell me?"
As Jiang Wanying asked, she clasped his wrist tightly with her slender but powerful fingers, frowned slightly, and looked intently at the situation inside Lin Chuan's body.
