Outside the Lingxiang Inn on Linling Island, the Lady Boss was dressed in red and green. Her delicate wrist was adorned with beaded bracelets, and her waist was as slender as a willow tree. She was leaning against the entrance, eating snake gall and fried melon seeds.
Every time there was an auction at the Xuanyuan Pavilion, there would always be a large number of people who would come to stay at her place. That was because she was beautiful, intelligent, and knew how to get things done. That pair of beautiful eyes with distinct black and white could easily guess what the guests wanted.
At this time, the sun was high in the sky, and it was already past noon. The Lady Boss spat a mouthful of melon seeds. She estimated that the auction would end in another two hours. The price of staying at Linling Island was high, so most cultivators wouldn't stay for long. She wouldn't be able to earn much from the room fees today.
However, it didn't matter. Immortals always had to eat dinner before leaving, so she could still earn some money from the meal.
The Lady Boss brushed away the crumbs of melon seeds on her skirt. She turned around and shouted to the shop assistant, "Erfu, wipe the tables and chairs in the lobby again. Also, take out a basket of the snake gall and melon seeds that I fried. Put a plate on each table.
We have to prepare for tonight's business. "
"Yes, Lady Boss, I'll go get it now." The shop assistant ran away.
The Lady Boss smiled with satisfaction. She had enough sun and melon seeds. Just as she was about to return to the inn to supervise the work, she suddenly saw a black and white figure coming from the end of the road. When he got closer, she realized that he was a handsome black-robed immortal. He was carrying a person in his arms as he rushed into her inn.
"Stay, stay, stay, stay!"
"…"
It was probably because he came suddenly and his behavior was strange.
The shop assistant was shocked. He opened his mouth and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Mo Ran said angrily, "Stay!
Are you deaf?
Where's the Lady Boss?! "
"Aiyo, Immortal Lord."
A young woman's voice sounded behind him. It was 30% joking and 70% apologetic, which made it difficult to get angry. Mo Ran suddenly turned around and saw the Lady Boss's smooth and slick smiling face. "I'm sorry to have neglected you.
I'm a new waiter. If you need me, I'm the Lady Boss. "
Mo Ran raised his dark brows and said anxiously, "Stay at the hotel!"
The Lady Boss quickly and calmly looked at him. Seeing that this person was wearing a cloak, presumably he was an immortal master who was going to participate in the Xuan Yuan Assembly. However, because he was in a hurry, the hood of his hood had fallen down, revealing a delicate and handsome face of a young man. However, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that on his wrist, there was a brocade pouch embroidered with the Black Tortoise totem. It was the Qiankun pouch that the Xuan Yuan Pavilion gave to the customers after they sold the goods.
He had money.
The Lady Boss's eyes flashed.
Very rich.
She then looked at the person in his arms. Because of the large veil covering the person's face, and because the person's face was leaning inwards, she couldn't see the person's appearance clearly. However, the Lady Boss's eyes were very sharp. She quickly swept her gaze over the snow-white robe, and her gaze fell on the hand hanging from the wide sleeve.
He was tall and thin, his skin was like porcelain, his fingers were long and sharp, and his bones were clearly defined.
A beauty.
The Lady Boss immediately understood.
Although he was a handsome man, it wasn't rare for men to dual cultivate in the cultivation world, so there was nothing strange about it.
"Dafu, get a room."
The Lady Boss reacted quickly. Without asking anything else, she snapped her fingers and ordered, "I want the most comfortable room, the Sun and Moon Superior Room."
Chu Wanning's illness came fiercely without warning.
Fortunately, this was Lonemoon's territory, and good medicine was everywhere. Mo Ran invited a doctor to take Chu Wanning's pulse.
The doctor, who had a rather high cultivation level, closed his eyes and touched Chu Wanning's wrist with his calloused fingers. He didn't say anything for a long time.
Mo Ran couldn't help but ask, "Doctor, how's my master?"
"It's not a big problem, but …"
What he hated the most was this kind of person who spoke in a roundabout way.
Mo Ran widened his eyes. "But what?"
"But this old man feels very strange. Your master's cultivation level is very high, which is rare in the world.
But when I examined him just now, his spirit core is very weak. It can't even compare to a small cultivator who has just built his foundation. "
If cultivation was compared to water, the spirit core was the container that carried the water.
The spirit core was innate, while cultivation was slowly nurtured. Therefore, the stronger the innate spirit core, the easier it would be for a person to cultivate.
However, when one's cultivation level reached a certain level, it would nourish the spirit core. Therefore, generally speaking, the two complemented each other.
For a great master like Chu Wanning, his spirit core must be very strong. Therefore, ordinary doctors wouldn't pay special attention to this when taking a pulse.
Mo Ran was shocked. "How is this possible?!"
"This old man also felt that it was impossible.
Therefore, I repeatedly examined him many times, but it was the same every time. "
"My master's spirit core can't even compare to a foundation building cultivator?
How, how is this possible? It's simply a joke!
Doctor, please take a closer look. Could it be that you made a mistake somewhere? "
"This old man has always been cautious in his medical practice. Since I said it, I must be 100% sure.
If you don't believe in my master's spirit core, the result will be the same. "
Mo Ran was stunned.
The doctor said, "It's precisely because your master's spirit core is very weak that he should have been sensed by some kind of powerful weapon. That weapon should have some resonance with him, but it's not something he possesses.
Therefore, he suffered a backlash. His spirit core couldn't bear it, so he fell unconscious.
This old man will prescribe him some medicine. After taking it, he should rest a lot. He'll be fine very soon. "
After sending off the doctor, Mo Ran sat beside Chu Wanning's bed. He held his chin in his hand and stared blankly for a long time.
Weak spirit core?
How is this possible …
However, that old man just now didn't know what happened at the Xuanyuan Club, but he could accurately say that Chu Wanning had encountered a powerful weapon. It really didn't seem like he was lying.
In addition, there was also "No Return". Just now at the Xuanyuan Club, Mo Ran only released a little bit of spirit energy. Chu Wanning suddenly felt strange and fainted.
Therefore, he didn't have time to determine whether that Mo Saber was really the Shen Wu from his previous life.
If it was, why would "No Return" resonate with Chu Wanning?
And why would it cause a backlash to Chu Wanning?
As he thought about this, he stared blankly at Chu Wanning. After an unknown amount of time, the person on the bed seemed to be haunted by a nightmare again. His beautiful brows furrowed and his eyelashes couldn't help but tremble.
For some strange reason, even he didn't know why. Mo Ran reached out and gently stroked his forehead. "Master …"
"…"
"Master … Chu Wanning … I've lived two lives. Could it be that you still have secrets that I don't know?"
The shopkeeper quickly boiled the medicine in the kitchen and served it to Mo Ran.
After tasting it, it was indeed very bitter. It was a taste that Chu Wanning hated the most.
Mo Ran sighed and called out to the woman who was preparing to leave.
"Shopkeeper, do you have candy?"
"Sigh … The store's candy is all freshly boiled. We've already used up all of today's candy.
But if Immortal Sage wants some, I'll send someone to buy some on the street. "
Mo Ran looked at the steaming medicine and shook his head. "Then forget it. The medicine will become cold after a while. It won't have any effect.
Thank you very much. "
"Ah, Immortal Sage, there's no need to be so polite. Just call me if you need anything."
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he tactfully left and closed the door behind him.
After placing the medicine at the head of the bed, Mo Ran sat back on the edge of the bed. He put one hand on his knee and used the other to help Chu Wanning up. "Master, it's time to take your medicine."
Feeding him medicine was something that he was very familiar with in his previous life. Mo Ran picked him up and let Chu Wanning lean against his chest. He took a spoonful of the medicine and brought it to his lips to cool it down. Then, he slowly fed it to Chu Wanning.
This was already the second time he was taking care of Chu Wanning after his rebirth. He didn't know why, but even though he hated this person, he still felt nervous when he saw him sick.
"Bitter …"
Although the person in his arms wasn't awake, he was still aware. He frowned in a half-asleep state and turned his face away, refusing to drink anymore.
Mo Ran couldn't be more familiar with this action. He raised the spoon and turned him back. Patiently, he coaxed, "There's still one more mouthful. You'll be fine after drinking it. Come."
As he spoke, he passed him another spoonful.
Chu Wanning drank half of it and coughed. However, his frown deepened.
"So bitter …"
"It's sweet, it's sweet. The next spoonful is sweet. Come, come, come."
"Uh …"
"The next spoonful!
I promise!
It's so sweet that you can't believe it!
This is the world's sweetest syrup that I ordered people to find! "
As he coaxed him, he didn't even know who he was anymore. Mo Ran smoothly pulled out the words from his previous life. "It's very delicious. You'll regret it if you don't open your mouth."
Just like that, he coaxed and coaxed the entire bowl of syrup. When he finished the last spoonful, Mo Ran heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to get up and tidy up, a white shadow suddenly flashed in front of him. Before he could react, his face was firmly slapped.
"Liar, get lost!"
After Chu Wanning said this harshly, he tilted his head and went back to sleep.
Mo Ran, who was slapped for no reason at all, was left with his mouth half open. After a while, he covered his face with his hands, feeling wronged.
Just as he was about to explode, the person in his arms let out a muffled groan. He must've dreamt of something extremely uncomfortable. His expression became increasingly ugly.
Seeing him like this, Mo Ran really didn't have much of a temper. He didn't have any sweets left. Seeing that the Qiankun Bag was still at the head of the bed, he had an idea and took out a bottle of sweet dew.
He patted Chu Wanning's cheeks, neither too lightly nor too hard. This was his revenge.
"Lie down alone for a while. I'll go and mix some water for you to drink sweet dew."
"…"
Seeing that Chu Wanning was quiet, Mo Ran supported him, intending to let him lie back on the pillow.
Unexpectedly, when he got closer, he heard him mutter in a low and muffled voice. Then, he muttered, "It's … thin you …"
Mo Ran was stunned. "What?"
Chu Wanning's eyes were tightly shut. His fan-like eyelashes couldn't stop trembling, as if he was suppressing a great deal of pain. The color of blood faded away bit by bit.
He had clearly fallen into another dreamscape, a dreamscape that was even more terrifying and ferocious. He shook his head slightly, and a rare trace of sorrow appeared on his usually cold and noble face.
"It's … it's me …"
For a moment, Mo Ran suddenly felt his heart stop beating. A strange feeling welled up in his chest. It was as if a secret was right in front of him. He only needed one last layer of gauze to cover it and he would immediately understand it.
He couldn't help but stare at Chu Wanning. He whispered, "It's you what?"
"It's me … thin … you …"
For a moment, his divine sense was in a trance. He didn't know if it was because the candlelight was too dim and made him see wrongly, but Mo Ran saw that Chu Wanning's thick eyelashes seemed to flash with water.
It's me who thin you.
These four words, when they came out of his mouth, were as light as mist, but when they entered his ears, it was like a clap of thunder.
Mo Ran suddenly bounced up from the bed. His entire body froze in an instant!
His pupils contracted. He stared at the handsome face of the person on the bed in disbelief. His expression changed in an instant. His heart was shocked as if thousands of horses and thousands of soldiers were galloping past. His hands clenched into fists. His blood seemed to boil into a raging fire overnight and then condensed into ice overnight.
"What did you say?
… You … "
After being stunned for a long time, Mo Ran suddenly grabbed Chu Wanning's throat. His eyes were ruthless. The childish innocence he pretended to have after his rebirth was completely gone. "Chu Wanning, what did you just say?"
"Say it again!
Say it again!! "
It's me who thin you. I won't complain even if I die.
This was a curse that he would never forget in his life. It was a nightmare that had tormented him for two lifetimes.
Many times when he closed his eyes, his ears would be filled with these four words. The person who said it was no longer in this world.
But these words were clearly spoken by Chu Wanning in his previous life. Why would he now — why would he —
Could it be that Chu Wanning was also reborn?!
