Chapter 790 - My Life Is Only for You (2/2)

Not knowing how long she had spent, Ouyang Lulu appeared on the path to the woods. She was surprised to see Han Qingwu sitting cross-legged on a large bluestone and quickly approached her.

Han Qingwu opened her eyes. It was like she was reacquainted with Ouyang Lulu since she took some time to carefully observe her and then slowly said, “I’m really sorry. I have troubled you.”

Ouyang Lulu was one who was always fearless and was rather invulnerable to other’s pressuring aura, yet Han Qingwu, who observed her for a short while, gave her an uncomfortable, creepy feeling. She felt that the current Han Qingwu was as though replaced by someone else after she woke up—especially her eyes that felt like they were able to see through her.

“You… what happened to you?” Suppressing the urge to turn around and run away, Ouyang Lulu braced herself to ask.

Han Qingwu looked dull for a moment before her expression slightly changed. Using her left hand to lift the long hair in front of her forehead, her eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything gradually faded away while that particular aura also stopped releasing from her body. She seemed to have returned to the former Han Qingwu, as she shook her head and said, “I’m… fine, but I’m kind of having some internal injuries and feel unwell. Anyways, Lulu, did you save me after I got possessed by a mental demon?”

Ouyang Lulu’s heart lightened. She noticed Han Qingwu’s eyes, which previously seemed as if able to see through everything, seemed to have vanished. She immediately thought the sensation she felt a while ago was just an illusion, yet she still held on to that suspicion and observed Han Qingwu before she replied, “I don’t have such a great ability, you know. It was Tang Xiu. He hurried back from Jingmen Island; I don’t know what method he used to save you either. Anyways, are you hungry? You’ve been in a stupor for over seven days, so do you want me to tell someone to prepare some meals for you?”

Han Qingwu touched her belly and then nodded and said, “Now that you mention it, I’m really starving. Sorry for troubling you though.”

Ouyang Lulu rolled her eyes. “If you don’t feel hungry then something would be wrong with you! There’s no way normal people can go without eating and drinking for a week, can they? Alrighty, you still have internal injuries so just go back to your room and have some rest! I’ll tell someone to prepare the meal and send them to you.”

“Thank you,” said Han Qingwu gratefully.

A few minutes later, Tang Xiu received a call from Ouyang Lulu and hurried to the woods. When he saw Han Qingwu sitting cross-legged on a large bluestone, he suddenly frowned and came striding in front of her, carefully examining her face a few times, and then spoke, “You have woken up?”

“Mmm, and thank you. I heard from Lulu it was because of you.” Han Qingwu chuckled.

“No need to thank me, I just don’t want you to die young,” Tang Xiu waved and said, “By the way, you… can you tell me what happened to you that caused the emergence of your mental demon? Also, do you remember anything else after waking up from your stupor?”

“Um? What do you mean?” Han Qingwu replied quizzically.

“You don’t remember anything?” Tang Xiu frowned and said, “Like the scene fragments that appeared in your mind previously?”

“No?” Han Qingwu shook her head and said, “I just feel that I have some internal injuries and they are quite serious. It’s impossible for me to recover in a short time. Anyways, Tang Xiu, did something go wrong with my cultivation? How come my True Essence went out of control when I cultivated? It was like it went astray outside the cultivation circulation route outside my meridians?”

Tang Xiu took a deep look at her before he shook his head and said, “I’m not clear about it either. Anyways, now that you’re awake, there’s nothing I need to do here so help yourself. I still need to tend to my things.”

Han Qingwu quietly watched Tang Xiu’s back as he left. The deep love she had toward this man was now even stronger than the bright sunshine. She previously thought that she could never meet Tang Xiu again, even in all the lives that she reincarnated into. Never did she expect that she would be reborn, though under a strange combination of circumstances, and meet Tang Xiu who was still alive.

‘Please set your mind at ease for I will only live my life for you for eternity.’

Lips squirming a few times, Han Qingwu whispered with a voice that only she could hear.

Tang Xiu indeed had something to do and was about to leave Paradise Manor before Ouyang Lulu called him. He felt rather disappointed that he couldn’t get the answer he wanted, but he still put his concerns to the back of his mind and prepared himself to face the following issue.

The date to explore the three-star vestige in Strait of Malacca was getting closer and closer, whereas the assigned ability users by the country had also arrived in Shanghai. After Tang Xiu learned about it, the China authority had assigned a total of five people to represent the country in exploring this three-star vestige. Aside from the team captain, the three others had also arrived.

Adjacent to an old alley located in Jingning District of Shanghai, a relatively remote residential complex existed. The old street itself was quite well-known due to one wine shop and its pot of old wine.

As the common saying goes, fragrant wine fears no dark alley.

Feng Wineshop was established decades ago. Its owner had changed once and, despite the changing era and improved living standards, it still existed and was still a good, reputable wine shop in the eyes of many people.

“Welcome.”

A youth approached and greeted at the tavern’s entrance.

Tang Xiu nodded and instantly released his perception after entering this Feng Wineshop. Shortly after, he found the person he needed to meet in the corner next to the window. That person was… a middle-aged man whose face had a beard full of messy hair not much better than a chicken nest. The man was now enjoying his wine and was savoring his serving of meat and vegetable dishes.

“Zhu Long?” asked Tang Xiu. He could vaguely sense something extraordinary from the middle-aged man.

Zhu Long looked up and casually squinted at Tang Xiu and lightly replied, “Now that we’re here, let’s have some drinks first. The rest will arrive shortly and I’ll act as the team captain this time. I hope you will strictly follow my order later.”

“I’ve got no problem with that.”

Despite knowing nothing about the arrangement set up by those people above, Tang Xiu was fine with it and decided to keep quiet since Zhu Long was going to lead the team. Moreover, he had prepared himself and, if there was not much danger in the three-star vestige, he planned to leave the team to conduct an in-depth exploration to find some treasures by himself.
