Chapter 209: Becoming a Person in the True Sense

*Burp*

Sitting in Bai Luoxue’s courtyard, Lin Xun, full and satisfied, rubbed his bloated belly and let out a burp.

Lin Xun felt he was wrong—horribly wrong. He didn’t just want to avoid egg drop porridge for three months; he didn’t want to see it for half a year.

Even the thought of the taste of that egg drop porridge made him feel slightly nauseous.

“Meow~~~”

The Little Calico Cat looked up at this human who could eat an enormous amount, its large eyes filled with confusion.

It wondered why this human hadn’t burst from overeating yet.

Actually, Lin Xun was also quite confused.

Because Lin Xun had originally thought the reason Bai Luoxue wanted him to eat the egg drop porridge she made was that she wanted to slip in some “computer parts.”

So Lin Xun had been mentally prepared from the start, even having some auxiliary detoxifying Medicinal Pills ready.

But he hadn’t expected the egg drop porridge to be so normal.

It really was just egg drop porridge, without any strange things mixed in.

The question was, what was that silly girl Luoxue after?

“Drink some tea.”

Just as Lin Xun was pondering Bai Luoxue’s suspicious behavior, she held out a cup of tea in her hands.

‘Could it be that the egg drop porridge was just a smokescreen, and this cup of tea is the actual “computer part”?’

With caution, the Qi within Lin Xun’s body began to gather, preparing to deal with the impact of the “computer part.”

The tea was at just the right temperature. Lin Xun downed the cup.

Hmm.

It was bitter with a hint of sweetness and a pleasant aftertaste; there were no other strange flavors.

He didn’t feel anything unusual after drinking it.

It was just an ordinary cup of tea.

Huh???

Ordinary tea?

Lin Xun looked at the tea in his hand, then at Bai Luoxue.

Bai Luoxue’s cat-tailed peach blossom eyes met Lin Xun’s gaze.

Lin Xun spoke slowly, “Did you forget to add something important?”

“Hmm?” Bai Luoxue tilted her head in confusion.

“I mean… the ‘computer parts’ of your Huanxi Sect. Didn’t you put any in the egg drop porridge?”

“No,” Bai Luoxue shook her head. “That would ruin the texture of the egg drop porridge. However…”

Bai Luoxue looked at the teacup in Lin Xun’s hand.

“computer parts” would ruin the texture of egg drop porridge, but tea was fine. She had a type of tea leaf in her Storage Pouch that was actually a “computer part.”

Maybe she could brew that tea for Lin Xun.

“I have other tea leaves. I’ll brew you a new cup.” As she spoke, Bai Luoxue turned to brew tea for Lin Xun again.

“Wait, no need. I’ll be leaving soon,” Lin Xun quickly stopped her.

Even without Wang Chen’s Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, he knew what this girl was trying to do.

“Oh.” Bai Luoxue looked at the cup in Lin Xun’s hand, her beautiful eyes shimmering as she seemed to be thinking of how to get Lin Xun to drink the tea made from “computer parts” in the future.

“Don’t overthink it. I will absolutely never drink any tea from your Huanxi Sect,” Lin Xun said, stuck between laughter and tears.

In some ways, Bai Luoxue was just as easy to read as Wang Chen.

Lin Xun even wondered if Bai Luoxue and Wang Chen were sisters.

After all, both Bai Luoxue and Wang Chen were orphans.

Wang Chen was picked up by the Bodhi Holy Land, and Bai Luoxue was picked up by the Huanxi Sect.

But soon, Lin Xun felt this idea was absurd.

One had a Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart and the other had a natural Bewitching Bone. How could there be such sisters?

However…

Lin Xun looked at the veil covering Bai Luoxue’s face.

From beginning to end, Lin Xun had never seen Bai Luoxue’s face.

Rumor had it that anyone who caught a glimpse of Bai Luoxue’s true face would become completely obsessed, and failing to attain her, would suffer a Qi Deviation.

Lin Xun didn’t know if this was actually true.

Because regarding news of the cultivation world, Lin Xun mostly only saw it in the Shanshui Newspaper.

If a Cultivator had died from Qi Deviation because of Bai Luoxue, those Sects would surely suppress the news.

Otherwise, if it got out that their own Disciple died of lovesickness for a witch from the Huanxi Sect, it would be truly humiliating.

However, during the period when Bai Luoxue entered the secular world, Lin Xun had indeed seen reports in the newspaper of Disciples from various Sects dying in different “Secret Realms” or from “failing to Undergo Tribulation.”

Lin Xun didn’t know if it was a coincidence… In short, although Lin Xun was confident in his willpower, he didn’t dare to try it lightly.

Just in case—no, even if there was only a one-in-a-billion chance—if his “LSP” power was awakened, wouldn’t things just explode?

“Do you want to see?” Noticing Lin Xun staring at her face, Bai Luoxue reached out to lift her veil.

“Wait! I don’t want to see!” Lin Xun extended his hand in a stop gesture!

“Oh.” Bai Luoxue blinked.

“Back to business, why did you want me to come drink porridge?” Lin Xun changed the subject.

“Because the book says that to capture a man’s heart, you must first capture his stomach,” Bai Luoxue answered truthfully.

Lin Xun’s brow twitched. “What else does the book say?”

“The book says that if you want someone to take you as a concubine, you can start from the perspective of their primary wife.”

“Start from the primary wife?”

“Yes.” Bai Luoxue nodded. “Cooking the same food as the other person, or even wearing the same clothes—the book says this has a huge impact on men.”

“…” Lin Xun stood up and lightly tapped her head with the teacup. “Impact my foot.”

Although Lin Xun said that, he was inwardly lamenting that the strange books of the Huanxi Sect had truly researched every “window” of a man!

No wonder the Huanxi Sect’s overall strength wasn’t much, yet it had stood tall for thousands of years; there was a reason for it.

As long as LSPs existed, the Huanxi Sect would probably never fall… However, Lin Xun couldn’t say “don’t use these methods on me.”

Because the various treaties he had previously made with Bai Luoxue included her being allowed to use all sorts of methods on him.

“Alright, I’m leaving. I’m in a good mood today, so I can grant you one small request.” Lin Xun said in an impatient tone, “What do you want?”

“I want you,” Bai Luoxue blurted out, looking directly at Lin Xun.

“No! Pick another!” Lin Xun rejected her instantly; he knew she would make that request.

“…” Being rejected, Bai Luoxue lowered her head as if thinking. After a long while, the girl looked up. “I can’t think of anything else.”

“How about this,” Lin Xun sighed softly. “Do you want emotions?”

“Emotions?”

“Yes.”

Lin Xun looked directly into the girl’s eyes.

“The joys, anger, sorrows, and happiness of being a person—all the emotions of a human being. To become a person in the true sense.”
