Chapter 17 (2/2)

Then Yun Shu looked up and found that the meridians in her thighs were also relatively weak and partially incomplete.

Yun Shu moved his gaze up until he sensed a violent killing intent aimed at him.

“Where are you looking at?!” she asked, grinding her teeth.

Yun Shu was a bit embarrassed. “I was trying to find a solution…”

That was undoubtedly true. He never saw her moving. So, this was the reason…

“Lingwen, no wonder you look like this…” said Yun Shu.

Su Lingwen didn’t feel offended at all, just nodding. “It’s very time-consuming and exhausting to wash myself, but I’ve got used to it.”

Yun Shu shook his head. “It’s not okay. You’re a young lady and should take good care of yourself.”

Su Lingwen rolled her eyes. “Then what should I do? Are you gonna help me?”

“Sure!” Yun Shu nodded earnestly.

There it came again: the sharp killing intent from Su Lingwen, overwhelming him.

“I mean, I can take you to the lake.” Yun Shu hurriedly clarified himself.

“The last time you came here was a month ago. You giving up already?” Su Lingwen asked.

“No, that’s not correct. I wasn’t being lazy.”

“Then what’s the reason?” Su Lingwen kept pestering him.

Yun Shu chuckled. “I’ll take you to the lake and explain it to you there. Sounds good?”

Su Lingwen stared at Yun Shu for a while, thinking, and finally nodded. “Okay.”

1“A month ago…” Yun Shu carried Su Lingwen on his back and headed to the lake, his voice ringing out.

After they left, the two elderly men walked out from behind an old tree.

“That boy is truly a genius, you see? It’s just been one month!” Old Du grinned at Old He.

“Surprising, indeed. But what makes me feel more shocked is that Lingwen permitted him to carry her on his back. This has never happened before,” said Old He.

Old Du didn’t realize it until Old He mentioned it.

“Can’t believe… Lingwen let him carry her on his back…” Old Du murmured.

“What should we do? If they’re too close to each other, there’ll be trouble!” Old He frowned.

Old Du thought to himself for a while and eventually shook his head. “I don’t think it’s that serious. Let’s wait and see first.”

At this time, in a small lake thirty miles away in the west to the square, Yun Shu dropped Su Lingwen on the shore. However, he didn’t want to leave her alone here, not knowing what to do for a moment.

“You just wait here.” Su Lingwen could tell Yun Shu’s awkwardness.

“Is that okay?” Yun Shu quickly asked.

“It doesn’t matter. You have golden pupils. If you want to see, there’s nothing I can do,” said Su Lingwen.

2Yun Shu forced a smile on his face.

Yun Shu turned his back on her and heard the water splashing. He felt a bit uncomfortable with the silence, so he started talking to her, “Lingwen, how long have you been in this place?”

Su Lingwen didn’t answer immediately. After a while, she said, “Maybe eight or nine years.”

“That’s so long… How much longer do you have to stay here, then?” Yun Shu asked.

“Two hundred years,” said Su Lingwen.

Yun Shu was so shocked that he turned around. “Two hundred years?!”

Immediately after, he sensed the raging killing intent.

Yun Shu hurriedly turned his back to Su Lingwen, following it with a couple of dry coughs. “What… What did you do?”

The splashing sound gradually stopped, and the area turned silent. Su Lingwen hesitated in giving a reply.
