Chapter 141 The Rendezvous After Dusk
Chapter 141 The Rendezvous After Dusk
"With his stubble shaved off, he looks quite presentable."
Yu Lishuang drank it all in one gulp, then reached out to explore, leaning closer with a somewhat frightening look in her eyes.
Luo Sifan silently enjoyed the moment, though he felt a sense of unease, like the prey.
"Li Shuang, are you really comfortable with those people from the Yaotai Sect? Ten thousand years have passed; people's hearts can easily drift apart, and it probably won't be so easy to win them back, will it?"
Seeing Yu Lishuang's red lips move and press down on him, Luo Sifan worried that the opportunity was lost and quickly voiced his doubts.
Yu Lishuang lifted her half-closed eyelids and gave Luo Sifan, who had a serious expression, a strange look.
"Shut up!"
Yu Lishuang murmured a muffled groan and mumbled a rebuke. Luo Sifan's chin was then gently lifted by her jade-like hand and presented to him like a cold dish.
With a series of "uh-uh" sounds, Luo Sifan pressed his palms against the table to avoid being roughly thrown away.
Outside the window, the little butterfly-like creatures called to their friends, chirping urgently, and gathered on the windowsill, forming a human-like pile, excited by the scene of being abused by their owner.
Luo Sifan almost held his breath, but when he switched to using his inner energy, Yu Lishuang let out a long sigh and released her lips.
"Li Shuang! I acknowledge Jade Heart Lotus..."
Luo Sifan continued, panting.
"drink wine!"
Yu Lishuang didn't care what he wanted to say. She squeezed and poured the wine down his throat. Luo Sifan pouted, his mouth full of wine, unable to make a sound.
Yu Lishuang smiled and took the opportunity to cover it up again.
The wine foam flew everywhere and overflowed. Luo Sifan's eyes widened. He never expected that the methods he liked would be used against him.
With not a drop of wine left, Luo Sifan felt a sudden relief in his throat and breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, the smell of wine and heat caused a soft snake to slither down along the wine stains. Luo Sifan cried out in surprise and was promptly flipped onto the stone table by Yu Lishuang…
The wine jug and cups clattered and shattered on the floor, the deafening sound startling the little butterfly figures outside the window, who scattered in a panic. The scene seemed to be getting increasingly bloody!
"Yu Lishuang! Tomorrow is the wedding day!"
Luo Sifan felt dizzy and lightheaded, clutching his clothes as he cried out.
"Speak up!"
Yu Lishuang aggressively suppressed Luo Sifan, nose to nose, eye to eye, her face flushed, her mesmerizing blue eyes blazing with fiery passion, obscuring the entire world before Luo Sifan's eyes.
The room was filled with a powerful display of force, which made Luo Sifan tremble with fear.
"Ten thousand years have passed, but now I can have whatever I want!"
Terrified but unable to contain their curiosity, the little butterflies gathered again, only to be startled once more by the unexpected scene inside the stone pavilion and flutter away in terror…
They came and went, went and came, over and over again, as the butterflies fluttered around the windowsill, making the group of people decorating the garden with lanterns and colorful curtains suspicious.
Lin Qianxiu, who was working hard and tiring jobs with a heavy heart, was no exception.
As the supervisor, Cai Feng'er fluttered her wings lightly in the air, looking at Lin Qianxiu who was gritting her teeth and working with sympathy, feeling that her master had gone a bit too far.
As for those little butterfly people who were making a fuss, she couldn't be bothered with them. They needed to broaden their horizons so they could get used to the way the current ancestor acted.
As night falls, the lanterns and colorful curtains in the Spring Garden are set up and lit one by one for testing, illuminating the garden beautifully, as bright as tomorrow.
Luo Sifan was extremely competitive. He had suffered a loss due to carelessness at Yu Lishuang's hands, so he naturally wanted to get some revenge.
Only when Yu Lishuang begged for mercy repeatedly and became limp as a snake did Luo Sifan give up his desire to win and surrender the banner.
"Yu Lishuang, you're wrong!"
Luo Sifan was clear-headed and exceptionally virtuous. He frowned and questioned Yu Lishuang.
"What's wrong…"
Yu Lishuang's voice was as soft as mud, and she responded in a half-dreaming, half-awake state.
"Your cultivation level is only at the initial stage of Qi Refining?! Moreover, your physical body is weak and lacks vitality..."
Luo Sifan was greatly puzzled and asked Yu Lishuang in a low voice with concern. When he got to the crucial point, his mind was in turmoil and his voice faltered.
"What's so strange about that? For ten thousand years, this fairy has only been at the initial stage of Qi Refining! I'll still crush you mortals and beat you to a pulp!"
Yu Lishuang was extremely tired and irritable, and responded with a furious grumble, softly punching Luo Sifan dozens of times.
Luo Sifan shook her head with a wry smile, knowing it would be difficult to get a serious response from her.
With a sigh, he picked up Yu Lishuang from the mess and carried her back to her bedroom, where she was now snoring softly.
Cai Feng'er appeared out of nowhere and circled the head of the bed, carefully examining Yu Lishuang.
Luo Sifan tucked the blankets in and sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought. He couldn't understand this woman, and he was becoming more and more worried about her.
"Young master, don't worry, Miss is fine."
Cai Feng'er suddenly spoke, and surprisingly, it was a rather mature and magnetic female voice.
Luo Sifan glanced at her with a hint of surprise, finding the little girl quite amazing.
Cai Feng'er silently watched Luo Sifan, her thoughts unknown. Suddenly, her colorful wings fluttered lightly, and her two starry eyes, which were fixed on Luo Sifan, held a hint of indescribable emotion.
"Young Master, Sect Master Yu Xinlian is waiting outside the garden. She says she has something important to discuss with you."
Cai Feng'er spoke indifferently, conveying the message sent by the little butterflies.
Luo Sifan was taken aback, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.
Cai Feng'er lowered her eyes and gazed at Yu Lishuang's sleeping face, and said softly:
"Miss is fine with me looking after her. Young master, you may go by yourself if you need anything."
After much deliberation, Luo Sifan finally made up his mind to go and probe Yu Xinlian's intentions, regardless of whether it was good or bad.
Luo Sifan stood up, straightened his clothes, bid farewell to Cai Feng'er, and strolled leisurely out of the garden gate as the joy faded and vigilance grew.
Yu Xinlian turned her head upon hearing the sound and was momentarily bewildered when she saw Luo Sifan standing there with a smile.
This man, when he gets particular, is quite handsome. The Ancestor truly has a discerning eye; even his judgment of men is unique.
Yu Xinlian's mind raced, but she didn't want to entangle the person in front of her with her deeply buried memories.
"Sect Master Yu! Sect Master Yu!"
Seeing that she was lost in thought, Luo Sifan couldn't help but call out to her a couple of times.
Yu Xinlian suddenly came to her senses, feeling embarrassed. Instead, her face turned cold, and she raised her head to give Luo Sifan a perfunctory bow.
"Yu Xinlian, the current sect leader of Yaotai Sect, greets you, young master. May I ask your name, and how shall we address you?"
Luo Sifan chuckled inwardly. If he were to reveal his real name directly, wouldn't he frighten you so much that you would lose your composure?
"Sect Master, you're too kind. There's no need to introduce yourself. I'm right here beside the Sect Ancestor today. The Yaotai Sect has many beauties, but Sect Master Yu stands out with her unique charm. I have a very deep impression of her!"
Luo Sifan, seeking revenge, teased Yu Xinlian.
Yu Xinlian's face turned even uglier. She had just shaken off Du Qi, that playboy, and now another one was right in front of her, and she couldn't get rid of him. She sighed at her bad luck.
"Young master, you flatter me. My mere appearance is of little concern to this sect master. Please, young master..."
Yu Xinlian gritted her teeth, suppressing her disdain, and responded indifferently.
"Oh, look at me, I was so engrossed in admiring the sect leader that I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Lin and my given name is Xiaozhi."
Luo Sifan interrupted Yu Xinlian with a grin.
Yu Xinlian nodded slightly, so angry at Luo Sifan's words that she didn't want to say anything more.
But since we're already here, we still have to get on with the business.
"Young Master Lin, tomorrow's wedding is a momentous event for our sect, the most important in ten thousand years. As the groom, Young Master Lin plays a crucial role in the wedding ceremony. I have taken the liberty of coming here to invite you to Yaotai Palace for a chat."
Yu Xinlian suppressed her anger and said seriously.
"Why go there? Is it necessary?"
Luo Sifan scratched his head, looking somewhat impatient.
"The elders in the palace are frail and have difficulty moving around, but they are most skilled in wedding ceremonies. This ceremony must not be performed in the slightest, lest it bring shame upon our clan. Young Master Lin, even for the sake of my clan's ancestors, please make the trip."
Yu Xinlian had already made up an excuse, but she persisted relentlessly, her solemn expression carrying a hint of coercion.
She had long seen that Luo Sifan was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, so she gave him a cold shoulder and reasoned with him, and it wouldn't be difficult to win him over.
Luo Sifan stared at her intently, seemingly moved and changing his expression.
