Chapter 1973 saw him
Lu Zhaoling felt that she couldn't possibly wait until tomorrow.
She simply dragged Zhou Shiyue to bed.
"We can talk about it in bed!"
Zhou Shiyue: "..."
"What's the difference between saying it now and saying it in bed?"
“Of course I can. I can snuggle up to you in bed and talk to you while I’m on top of you,” Lu Zhaoling winked at him. “I just need some merit from you, Imperial Uncle.”
Zhou Shiyue: "..."
He really had nothing to say about this statement and this action.
However, he couldn't resist Lu Zhaoling.
Sitting on the bed, Lu Zhaoling held his hands, intertwined her fingers with his, and knelt to knee.
She was just about to get down to business, but looking at the current situation, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Why do I feel like we're about to start a dual cultivation ritual, like something out of a storybook?"
Zhou Shiyue: "..."
His body tensed up at her words.
"Lu Xiaoer, try not to speak in a skewed way. I can't stand any provocation."
"When did I flirt with you?" Lu Zhaoling had barely finished asking the question when she realized, it was about dual cultivation...
She coughed.
That was just a slip of the tongue, she didn't think it through. When she spoke, she was thinking about practicing her martial arts, she didn't think it through.
but--
She became curious.
"Do martial arts practitioners really have dual cultivation techniques?"
"no!"
Zhou Shiyue immediately denied it, saying, "It's something made up in some storybooks and some legends about gods and demons. Where would a serious martial arts practitioner find such things? If it really exists, it's something those people made up."
There may be some unorthodox sects or groups that practice all sorts of weird and wonderful techniques, and that's just a rumor. But the real experts know that this is just something those people come up with for fun.
You don't need to practice like this if you really want to master martial arts.
"Lu Xiaoer, where did you hear all this nonsense? Be honest with me."
“I’m very innocent,” Lu Zhaoling said. “Besides my fellow disciples in the sect, I’ve never touched another man’s fingers… no, actually I have.”
Zhou Shiyue looked at her, "Hmm?"
"I've also broken the fingers of quite a few heretical practitioners."
Lu Zhaoling grabbed his finger and demonstrated, "Like this."
*Snap.* It snapped.
Zhou Shiyue: "..."
So pure.
After joking around for a while, Lu Zhaoling became serious and started talking about important matters.
"To tell you the truth, I didn't originally just want to see Qian Dingxing's lifespan, did I?"
"Hmm." Zhou Shiyue listened attentively to her.
"Because Xiaohan was worried that he was actually quite old. Although he wouldn't look old, his lifespan was still limited. I was also quite curious, so I wanted to see how many years Qian Dingxing had left to live."
"Did you see it?" Zhou Shiyue asked.
“I saw it,” Lu Zhaoling said, quite surprised. “He still has ninety years to live.”
Hearing her say it so confidently, Zhou Shiyue was stunned.
He was also somewhat surprised, as he had thought that someone like Qian Dingxing would be impossible to tell how long his lifespan was.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhaoling saw through it.
Moreover, Qian Dingxing has already lived for many years, how could he possibly live another ninety years? His lifespan is truly remarkable.
"You saw more than just his lifespan?" Zhou Shiyue asked.
Lu Zhaoling nodded.
"Yes, after I saw that he had another ninety years to live, I became very curious and wanted to see how many years he had already lived. As a result, I saw a very long period of time."
“A long period of time…” Zhou Shiyue chewed on these words, feeling somewhat alarmed.
What is Qian Dingxing?
Humans can't possibly live that long, right?
"I saw him walking on the road to the underworld, and I saw him cross the Bridge of Helplessness. I saw Sister Meng Po offer him soup, he took a sip, and then suddenly turned around, as if someone was calling him..."
As Lu Zhaoling spoke, her expression became somewhat lost in the fragments she was "seeing" in her consciousness.
Zhou Shiyue immediately grasped her hand.
"Wait a minute," he interrupted her.
Lu Zhaoling's eyes cleared, and she looked at him.
"what happened?"
Why did you suddenly interrupt her?
Zhou Shiyue immediately asked, "You can say whatever you want, but if you keep hiding in those scenes like this, won't you suffer a backlash again?"
"Puch."
Lu Zhaoling knew what he was worried about, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"How could that be? I'm not looking at his fate or past right now; I'm recalling things myself."
Zhou Shiyue felt a slight sense of relief.
"Just say whatever comes to mind, you don't need to go into so much detail."
Although Lu Zhaoling had already explained, he was still quite worried about her.
What made him so nervous was that when he saw her vomit blood, his heart almost gave out.
Zhou Shiyue used to think he was very strong, that nothing could defeat him.
But now he understands that he is vulnerable.
He couldn't bear it if anything happened to Lu Xiaoer.
How could someone as sentimental as him be evil?
"Alright, alright, I was just saying." Seeing that he was genuinely nervous, Lu Zhaoling was also a little touched. "Anyway, Qian Dingxing faked his death before."
"suspended animation?"
"Hmm, I've been thinking about it. Although he did cross the Meng Po Bridge, his steps seemed a little heavy, not like a dead soul. So he must have suffered some kind of injury or external force that caused his soul to leave his body. The situation was special, and his fate was disrupted. Neither the ghost messengers nor Sister Meng Po could tell."
Lu Zhaoling speculated.
"So at that time, he thought he was dead and drank a sip of Meng Po soup. It was because of that sip of soup that he forgot many things from the past. But after drinking just that one sip, his soul was called back and returned to his body."
"I think that after Qian Dingxing wakes up, he will have to go through a period of confusion, maybe a month, a year, or ten years."
"This is my speculation, not what I saw. I looked further back and saw the past that he himself had forgotten."
At this point, Lu Zhaoling finally looked at Zhou Shiyue steadily.
Zhou Shiyue met her gaze without flinching.
He knew that this was the moment she was about to bring up things related to her.
Lu Zhaoling stared at him for a long while, then suddenly threw herself into his arms and hugged his waist tightly.
Zhou Shiyue froze, not moving for a moment.
What is this for?
"What's wrong?" Zhou Shiyue lowered his voice. "It's hard to say? I don't care, just tell me. Anyway, no matter what kind of person I was before, you won't care or look down on me now, right?"
The head in his arms nodded, as if it were nestled against his chest, which made Zhou Shiyue's heart melt.
He reached out and gently stroked her back.
"You saw me?"
"Yes, I saw you in a black iron armor." Lu Zhaoling said in his arms.
A figure floated into her mind.
