Chapter 388: Late Night Visi (1/2)
Lu Wenshu raised his head and saw that the ‘sound asleep’ Bai Luochu was sitting by her bed, tidying up her clothes. Even though her eyes weren't focused, he knew that she was looking straight at him.
”Why is Young Master Lu so late? I nearly fell asleep after waiting for half the night.” Bai Luochu spoke indifferently. Had it not been for the timing, occasion, and the strange atmosphere between the two of them, Lu Wenshu would think that Bai Luochu was blaming him for being late for showing up after her reincarnation.
Too bad that would never happen. Moreover, if he looked closely, he would notice the look of disdain on her face. Lu Wenshu sighed and asked, ”Have... have you already guessed that I will visit today?”
Bai Luochu heard the question and snorted, ”Heh, Young Master Lu is exaggerating. I am not a fortune teller. Why will I be able to predict the time of your visit? I casually set up a poison array in order to protect myself. If Young Master Lu has been hurt by it, I hope for your forgiveness.”
”You should know that I already know your true identity.” Lu Wenshu knew that this topic wasn't developing well, hence, he prepared to talk about something else to make Bai Luochu less vigilant towards him.
Bai Luochu was startled when Lu Wenshu suddenly shifted the topic. She pretended to be muddle-headed and replied, ”What is Young Master Lu talking about? Who else can I be? I am naturally the orphan child of the general's residence, the only daughter of the Cloud Water Nation's former military general, Luo Chu.”
”How long are you going to keep up your act? Your act might be able to fool the world, but you’ll never be able to hide from me. Even though you are in Luo Chu’s body, you are still the Holy Maiden of the Thousand Brilliance Temple. I understand you deeply and I know all of your preferences and habits.”
Lu Wenshu spoke with sincerity as though he wanted to announce to the world that he was lovers with Bai Luochu in her previous life.
”It is true that you understand me very thoroughly.” Bai Luochu's aura changed after speaking and Lu Wenshu trembled with fear before her. He felt as though he was facing the Bai Luochu of the past, the undefeatable evil dao witch.
”If you don’t have a good understanding of me, how are you going to scheme against the Thousand Brilliance Temple? How are you going to make me die a miserable death in front of the temple gates? Lu Wenshu, you have done a great job. You are really the person who understood me the most in my past life.” Since Lu Wenshu had already taken the initiative to speak about the topic, Bai Luochu no longer tried to hide. She shredded away all pretense of cordiality and whatever barrier protecting them from each other crumbled. The pain stabbed into both their hearts.
”If I ask you to pay me back with the life of your sect members, are you able to do so? If you are able to make the promise that your sect will endure the same fate as my temple, I will gladly chat merrily with Young Master Lu in the future. I will also burn some incense on your grave on your death anniversary.” Bai Luochu heard Lu Wenshu's opinionated tone and felt a surge of anger. Had it not been for her lack of strength, she would have turned Lu Wenshu into a corpse.
