Chapter 249 - Li Xi’er, the Runaway Bride (2/2)
Lin Luoran is in the level of Laying Foundation, and he is only in the earlier stage of Training Qi. According to his master, his quality of cultivation is not so good. Liu Zheng always pretends to be strong, in fact, he doesn’t want to slow Lin down.
He should just wait. He should wait until he deserves to stand shoulder by shoulder with her!
…
Of course, Lin Luoran never imagines that Liu Zheng still has feelings for her secretly. There is too much to think about because Lin now cultivates along with her family.
One day, Lin wants to make some boluses. Then she realizes that she still needs the b.u.t.terflybush Flower to make the Foundation-laying Bolus.
On the BBS, the cultivator with the ID of “Tofu” has sent her so many private messages. Lin replies and gets an immediate response. The guy is smart and he knows that Master Lin is always generous. He has prepared enough b.u.t.terflybush Flower and he is going to come to the R City personally and exchange them with Lin.
Lin Luoran doesn’t mind this. After all, she has to see the quality of the flower first.
Lin spends some days doing nothing but cultivating and eating. Days have become fulfilling and easy. Lin finds some rabbit fur in her s.p.a.ce which she took back from the Kalahari Desert. The rabbit fur is so silky and soft. Everyone will love a coat made of rabbit fur.
As Lin expected, her mother and w.a.n.g Miao’e are thrilled because of the rabbit fur. They each pick one piece and are going to make coats for themselves.
When they are discussing which store they should go to, Mr. Lin comes in with a smile.
He says, “Guess who is here?”
A girl in a red dress is standing behind him. Her eyes are puffy and her nose is red because of all the crying. It’s Li Xi’er!
“Sister Lin… No… Master Lin…” Li Xi’er cries non-stop as she always does.
Li Xi’er grabs Lin and uses her sleeves to wipe tears and snot. Lin Luoran feels like Li Xi’er is almost like a daughter to her. She says helplessly, “Stop calling me Master Lin! I prefer Sister Lin.”
Li Xi’er answers immediately, “Sister… Sister Lin, you have to help me! My master is going to kill me!”
Ms. Lin forgets about the rabbit fur and she hugs Li, “Stay here! n.o.body dares kill you!”
Lin Luoran and w.a.n.g Miao’e look at each other. If Li’s master didn’t spoil her, how could she become so innocent?
Lin Luoran would never believe that Xi Heng is going to kill Li Xi’er.
However, Li is out of breath now. Lin gives up pursuing and goes to the kitchen and makes Li a cup of tea. She uses wild honey and the grapefruit from her s.p.a.ce. The tea tastes good. Li Xi’er sips the tea and finally calms down.
“Look at these furs. Would you like a coat?”
Li Xi’er is stunned. Then she starts to check on the furs.
“The black one is nice! I like the white one either! I want them both…” Li Xi’er fondles the furs and refuses to let go.
Lin Luoran rolls her eyes and says, “Pick one!”
Li can’t decide. Finally, Mr. and Ms. Lin realize that things are not so serious as Li told so, and they leave the room, holding hands.
w.a.n.g Miao’e laughs, “Look at yourself. You’re too old to be a cry baby!”
Li Xi’er stamps her feet, “I mean it! My master said that he was going to throw me out and kill me!”
Lin Luoran smiles, “There must be a reason for this. Tell me. If your master is to blame, I will justice you. Ok?”
Li Xi’er gets happy and explains what happened—
w.a.n.g Miao’e is chocked by the tea in her mouth when she hears the last sentence—
“What? You run away from your wedding?!” w.a.n.g is astonished. It turns out that cultivators also suffer from an arranged marriage. However, she admires Li Xi’er for having the courage to be a runaway bride. She pats Li on her shoulder and says, “Girl, I admire you for your courage.”
Li Xi’er sniffs, “Stop making fun of me! My master is marrying me to an individual cultivator who is in the earlier stage of Training Qi! There is no way I will obey him!”
Individual cultivator? In the earlier stage of Training Qi? Lin Luoran is stunned. Lin never judges a person by his origin. However, Li Xi’er is only in her early twenties, which is too young to get married. Why did Xi Heng do this?
