In the forest of Heavenly Charm Island, Lu An walked forward step by step, towards the place where the yellow light came from.
Because the distance was not far, it did not take him long to reach his destination. It was a medium-sized courtyard surrounded by a fence, but he did not see Yuan Ling's figure.
Could she be in the house?
Lu An walked through the fence and came to the door of the wooden house. He knocked on the door gently and asked, "I am Lu An, is Miss Yuan Ling here?"
"…"
There was only silence in reply.
Lu An frowned slightly. If Yuan Ling was not here, it would be troublesome. He did not know when Yuan Ling would return. After all, with Yuan Ling's strength, it was normal for her to leave Heavenly Charm Island for ten days to half a month.
Lu An thought for a while and decided to wait in the courtyard for 15 minutes. If Yuan Ling did not return after 15 minutes, he would leave.
Time passed by slowly. Fifteen minutes passed very quickly, and it didn't take long for it to be over. Lu An did not want to wait any longer. He turned and walked towards the exit of the fence.
"Lu An?"
A gentle voice sounded from afar. Lu An, who was about to leave, was startled. He immediately turned back to look.
The dignified lady standing in the forest. Who else could it be but Yuan Ling?
Seeing Yuan Ling again after so many months, Lu An was obviously startled. This was because of the change in Yuan Ling.
Yuan Ling's face was obviously very pale and weak. This made her originally fair face lose its color. Yuan Ling was holding a small flower basket in her hand. There were many herbs in the basket.
Not only that, Yuan Ling used to be dignified and generous. Now, she was dignified and introverted. There was a huge difference. Lu An was obviously startled. He did not know how a person's temperament could change so much.
"Miss Yuan Ling." Lu An cupped his hands. It had been a long time since the previous incident. In addition, he was in her courtyard. No matter what, he had to take the initiative to greet her.
After Yuan Ling saw Lu An, there was an obvious joy in her eyes. Her footsteps gradually quickened. She even jumped from the forest back to the courtyard. She put down the flower basket and walked towards Lu An step by step.
She was dignified and elegant, like a lady from a noble family.
Yuan Ling stopped in front of Lu An. The two of them were only one step apart. She asked softly, "Why is Young Master here?"
"Senior Yin Lin asked me to come and see you," Lu An said truthfully, "Miss, you don't look well. Did something happen?"
Yuan Ling was startled, and the light in her eyes quickly dimmed. She lowered her head and softly said, "My Spiritual Sense hasn't recovered yet."
Lu An was stunned when he heard this. He suddenly thought of something and asked in astonishment, "Miss, are you talking about … the dispute that happened last time?"
Yuan Ling didn't answer. She just nodded lightly.
Lu An couldn't help but gasp when he saw this. The last time Yuan Ling snatched his ring, it caused him to use the Realm of the Demon Gods to go berserk and sink into oblivion. It was Fu Yu who came to save him and injured Yuan Ling. But he didn't expect that after several months, Yuan Ling still hadn't recovered.
Logically speaking, if Yuan Ling was injured, Yin Lin would definitely come to her rescue. Lu An asked, "Senior Yin Lin can't heal you?"
Yuan Ling shook her head gently and said, "Master has already treated me, but some injuries can't be cured by others. I can only recover slowly. I'm much better now. I should be able to fully recover after resting for three months or so. "
Lu An was even more shocked when he heard this. Even Senior Yin Lin was helpless. Even after resting for so long, she still hadn't fully recovered. Fu Yu's attack on Spiritual Sense was really powerful!
"If Young Master is not busy, you can sit here with me. I will make you a cup of tea," Yuan Ling said softly.
Lu An was startled. He wanted to refuse, but when he saw Yuan Ling's pale face, he couldn't bear it and couldn't refuse for a while. But when he wanted to say it, Yuan Ling had already turned to the side to prepare.
In that case, Lu An didn't leave. He walked to a chair and sat down. He looked at Yuan Ling. She was now more introverted than before. Especially the change in tone, it made Lu An feel like she was a different person.
Yuan Ling quickly brewed the tea and placed it in front of Lu An. Lu An picked it up and took a sip. At the same time, Yuan Ling was sitting on the other side of the table.
"I didn't expect you to come to see me," Yuan Ling looked at Lu An and said softly, "Did Master threaten you to come?"
Lu An was startled. He didn't expect Yuan Ling to guess this kind of thing. He smiled awkwardly. But he was even more puzzled. Although Yuan Ling was dignified, she was also very proud. For her to ask such a question, it was enough to show how much she had changed.
"Miss Yuan Ling … are you okay?" Lu An asked tentatively.
"Are you talking about my change?" A smile appeared on Yuan Ling's pale face as she said, "Have you become more honest than before?"
"…" Lu An smiled bitterly and didn't speak.
"Just as you guessed, it's the result of the last time," Yuan Ling said softly, "Last time, in Fu Yu's hands, I really took a trip to the gates of hell. If she hadn't held back, I'm afraid I would have died. "
"Before the gates of hell, I thought about many things. I don't want to die, and I thought about why I'm alive." Yuan Ling raised her head and looked at the gradually darkening sky. She said, "People are right. Only by experiencing real life and death can one see through life more clearly. After I came back to life, I gradually felt that many things in this world are meaningless. "
Lu An's heart shook slightly, and he looked at Yuan Ling quietly.
"People, in the end, will die." Yuan Ling said softly, her tone calm and peaceful, "Whether it's a few decades for an ordinary person, or hundreds or thousands of years for a Heavenly Master, in the end, they will all die. In the whole world, the time they exist is only a moment. Sometimes, what's the point of fighting and scheming for something that can't be taken away? "
"So, it's better to be honest. Say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush. Sit down and do what you want to do, don't hesitate. " Yuan Ling's eyes shone with a quiet light as she said, "After I figured it out, I stopped doing those meaningless things in the past. Instead, I searched for what I really wanted to do. I searched for the meaning of my life."
With that said, Yuan Ling looked at Lu An, which made Lu An slightly startled.
"You are very special." Yuan Ling said softly, "It makes me feel that you have experienced life and death like me. You know what you want, and only then can you resist the temptation of Temi people."
Lu An asked with a wry smile. He had indeed experienced life and death many times, and he knew what he wanted, but he had never thought about whether there was a connection between the two.
"I like you," Yuan Ling suddenly said.
Lu An was taken aback, and he looked up at Yuan Ling in shock.
"I've thought a lot over the past few months, and the person I thought about the most was you." Yuan Ling's eyes were very serious as she said, "Perhaps I've already liked you since the first time we met, but I was too stubborn to admit it."
The first time we met?
The first time he met Yuan Ling was in a cave behind a waterfall. Ye Ling and Yuan Ling made a bet to see if Yuan Ling could seduce him.
"Later, I always went to find you. I knew that you already had a wife, but I still did it. In my heart, I used the customs of Temi people to justify myself." Yuan Ling revealed a trace of a smile and said, "In front of you, I always released my power to seduce you. Now that I think about it, I really didn't mean what I said."
Listening to Yuan Ling's words, Lu An didn't know what expression to make or what response to make. Although it wasn't the first time a woman had expressed goodwill to him, but every time, he would be very nervous, and even a little embarrassed. He didn't know what to do at all.
"However, I know that it's almost impossible for us." Yuan Ling suddenly laughed at herself, shook her head and said, "I'm Temi people, and my body is not as pure as the women around you. You humans will never accept the people of the Heavenly Enchantment Tribe. Marrying us will be your greatest humiliation. "
"… …"
"So, I don't expect anything to happen between you and me. It's just that if I don't tell you these thoughts, I will always feel unwilling." Yuan Ling looked at Lu An, and said with a smile, "My Lord also found out about my thoughts, so he asked you to come here and listen to what I have to say. In fact, it's nothing. I'm really sorry about the last time I snatched your ring. I hope you can forgive me. "
"… …"
Yuan Ling found that Lu An was frowning.
Lu An looked at Yuan Ling, and after thinking for a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said, "This one wants to say that some things are not destined. Temi people didn't do anything outrageous, it's just that their customs are different. If the girl changes her habits and accepts the etiquette of the Hachiko clan, I believe that there will be someone who will fall in love with the girl, and not care about the girl's past. "
Yuan Ling's heart shook, and a trace of hope appeared in her eyes as she looked at Lu An, and said, "Then is it possible between you and me?"
Lu An was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Yuan Ling to ask such a question. He couldn't help but feel a little conflicted, and didn't know how to answer better.
Seeing Lu An's embarrassed look, the last bit of hope in Yuan Ling's eyes was shattered, and she smiled gently and said, "Just pretend that I didn't ask, I know that Gongzi is very busy, please go ahead."
With that, Yuan Ling turned and entered the room, and disappeared from Lu An's sight.
