When Grandma Yang came back with a small package, Liu Baishan and Yang Cailan were ready to leave.
"Grandma, take good care of yourself. I will come to see you when I have the chance!" said Yang Cailan as she held her grandmother's calloused hand, tears falling uncontrollably.
After becoming Yang Cailan, Grandma Yang was the person Qing Lian felt closest to. She always felt like she was seeing her old master.
"Lan, be more diligent in the future. Listen to whatever your mother-in-law says. There's nothing wrong with doing more!" Grandma Yang held Yang Cailan's hand and gave her many instructions. She had already left half a century and could not do anything to help. She only hoped that Yang Cailan would be less beaten and scolded after she got married.
"Let's go!" said Liu Baishan. He frowned because he suddenly thought of his mother. The trip back home probably would not be so smooth. Liu Baishan added, "Grandma, don't worry. I don't hit women!" Although he had a fierce look on his face, he still said those words stiffly.
"Alright, thank you!" said Grandma Yang. She wanted to bow to Liu Baishan, but he held her up.
Although Yellow River Village was close to Tranquil Village, it was still a few miles away. Yang Cailan knew that she had just schemed against this man, so she followed three steps behind Liu Baishan without saying anything.
Liu Baishan was in a hurry to go home, so he naturally walked faster. He did not break away from the concept of suddenly having a wife. Only after he had walked for a long time did he remember. When he looked back, he was stunned.
"Are you not feeling well?" Liu Baishan asked. His voice was so cold that Yang Cailan shivered. In fact, she was indeed shivering.
"I'm fine!" said Yang Cailan. Her lips were a little blue, but she did not dare to tell the truth. She had tricked him and did not want to make things difficult for him.
"Don't lie to me in the future!" said Liu Baishan. He took out a thick coat from his luggage and put it on Yang Cailan.
In an instant, Yang Cailan felt warm. She said thanks and smiled sweetly at the fierce-looking Liu Baishan.
Ever since Liu Baishan's face was injured, anyone who saw his face would be scared away. No woman would smile at him. He was stunned for a moment before he said directly, "This contract is for you. I'm not really buying you to be my wife. Take it."
"Then why did you buy me?" Yang Cailan was also stunned.
"When we get back, I'll ask my mother to acknowledge you as her goddaughter. When you want to get married, I'll introduce you to a partner," said Liu Baishan. This was the best solution he could think of. He was a soldier and had to leave at any time. The future was uncertain and he did not want to delay her.
"I don't want to!" said Yang Cailan. She thought, 'If I married someone else, I won't be able to be close to his spiritual energy.'
"Then what do you want to do?" Liu Baishan asked as he pulled a long face, trying to scare Yang Cailan away.
"You bought me as your wife, so I'm your wife!" said Yang Cailan. She looked up at the dazzling ball of light and wanted to take a bite. She could not see it clearly before in the water. Liu Baishan's body is full of merit. It's more nourishing than spiritual energy.
"In my current state, I have no intention of getting married and having children." Liu Baishan said honestly. He really did not have such a plan. He came back this time to make his parents give up.
"I don't care. I'm your wife. If you don't want me, I'll tell your mother that you slept with me!" When Qing Lian was in the Taoist temple, she had heard many ladies say that. They said that once a couple spent a night together, they would be husband and wife. When the time came, they would not be able to deny it.
Liu Baishan was dumbfounded. He had never seen such a woman. Moreover, he reached out and touched the long scar on his face. It ran across half of his face. Even if he had new flesh now, it was still very scary. Many children were scared to tears by him. He asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
"You mean your scar?" Yang Cailan was a little excited that she could finally touch it. She touched the scar that had just grown new flesh.
"Yes!" Liu Baishan nodded. He thought that Yang Cailan's hands were not delicate and were very cold. The cold touch made him a little stiff.
"Nothing to worry about. That's good enough. I know many herbal remedies that can remove scars. If you listen to me, I guarantee that it will disappear after a while." Yang Cailan said with certainty. After all, she could secretly help.
Liu Baishan did not believe Yang Cailan. He was already very lucky to be alive. The scar would definitely not go away. However, he did not care about these.
"You don't believe me?!" Yang Cailan saw the calmness in Liu Baishan's eyes and immediately became angry. Although she was not in the Taoist temple now, and she did not have the lotus body as a link to hear the man's thoughts, she was a green lotus. Without her original form, she was still very transparent. Naturally, she could see the man's expression.
"It's getting late. Let's hurry off early!" said Liu Baishan. After that, he continued to rush home. He felt that he was out of his mind earlier and that he was wasting time talking to a young girl. However, he had neglected Yang Cailan's strength.
