Chapter 252: I Will Wait For You…

After lunch, Jiang Qingshang, Nong Qin, and the others went out shopping.

Leaving Lin Xun alone in the room to wash dishes silently.

Thinking back to the meal at noon, Lin Xun still felt a lingering fear.

He hadn’t expected that he would actually make a mistake!

He had eaten Qinger’s cooking for nearly two years, from her initial clumsy attempts to her gradual maturity, until every dish she made perfectly suited his taste.

One could say he had witnessed the entire progression of Qinger’s culinary skills.

Logically, it should have been impossible to mistake it!

But!

He hadn’t expected the food Wang Xing made to suit his taste so perfectly!

This was practically dancing on his tongue’s XP!

“Sigh, what a miscalculation…”

Lin Xun sighed softly; he had to properly comfort Qinger tonight and make her happy.

Otherwise, if Qinger really got jealous, she could kick him out of bed with her fair, tender little feet for three days straight, or even prevent him from entering the room at all.

Just as Lin Xun was thinking about how to make Qinger happy, suddenly, a faint fragrant breeze drifted into his nose.

Lin Xun was all too familiar with this faint Bewitching Fragrance.

“Why did you come in? I told you, I—”

Before Lin Xun could finish, he felt a softness against his back.

A shiver ran through Lin Xun’s body, and the bowl in his hand almost fell.

“Bai Luoxue, what are you doing!”

Lin Xun wiped his sudsy hands on his clothes and then quickly pried away her fair little hands that were clasped around his waist.

Turning around, Lin Xun saw Bai Luoxue’s clear eyes, devoid of joy or sorrow.

It seemed as if this young girl had no idea what she had done, merely looking at Lin Xun calmly.

“What are you doing all of a sudden?” Lin Xun rebuked.

Lin Xun tried his best to make his tone sound harsher.

But looking at the Three-no girl in front of him, the Qi in Lin Xun’s heart seemed to suddenly disappear, as if he couldn’t Life Qi at all!

Lin Xun didn’t even know if the words he just spoke still carried a hint of Yasashii.

“The book says if I hug someone from behind, they will fall in love with me.” Bai Luoxue looked at Lin Xun, her eyes blinking. “Have you fallen in love with me?”

“In love my foot!” Lin Xun lightly tapped her on the head.

Bai Luoxue shrunk her fragrant shoulders slightly from the slight pain.

Dammit! It was one thing to be bewitching, but she actually had a natural cuteness too!

What was with this Saintess of the Huanxi Sect? Why did her every move, even every strand of hair, seem to dance on other people’s System?

“Then what will it take for you to fall in love with me?”

Bai Luoxue looked at Lin Xun purely, her cat-tailed peach blossom eyes filled with Lin Xun’s figure.

“It’s impossible for me to fall in love with you, stop dreaming,” Lin Xun said firmly!

However, as he said this, even Lin Xun didn’t notice that he subconsciously averted his gaze for a moment.

“I can be your concubine,” Bai Luoxue continued.

“No! Qinger won’t allow me to take concubines!” Lin Xun stated firmly.

“Then keep me outside. It seems that in the mortal world, many Wealthy Squires, or Princes and Generals, do this. I heard some emperors Traveling Incognito also keep women outside.”

“That won’t work either! I’m a very traditional person; if I marry, I marry into the household!” Lin Xun refused again.

“…” Bai Luoxue lowered her head, her eyes blinking softly, seemingly thinking of other reasons.

“Alright, is there anything else? If not, go back and don’t come again. If Qinger finds out, I’m finished, even though I, Lin Xun, am pure and innocent! A lifetime of upright Qi!”

Just as Lin Xun finished speaking, Bai Luoxue’s eyes suddenly brightened: “If she doesn’t find out, can I come to see you?”

“That won’t work either!” Lin Xun tapped her head again.

At this time, Lin Xun discovered that he seemed to have some resistance to her Bewitching Bone.

Before, just touching her slightly would cause Bewitching Fire to attack his heart, requiring spiritual power to suppress and disperse it.

Now, although there was still Bewitching Fire invasion, suppressing and dispersing it was much easier than before.

In that case, could he take a look at Bai Luoxue’s true face?

He hadn’t dared to look before because he truly lacked confidence. Actually, Lin Xun really wanted to see Bai Luoxue’s true appearance.

After all, as the most beautiful Saintess in the history of the Huanxi Sect, those who saw her face were said to die of lovesickness. Not just men, even women couldn’t restrain their curiosity.

But it was just a thought; soon, Lin Xun dismissed this undesirable idea.

What if… just what if?

If he accidentally fell for her, everything would blow up.

But if it’s just one look…

“Do you want to see? You can.” Noticing Lin Xun staring at her face, Bai Luoxue subconsciously moved to untie her veil.

“No! Don’t talk nonsense! I don’t!”

Lin Xun, reacting in time, quickly grabbed her snow-white hand.

Seeing Lin Xun grabbing her hand, Bai Luoxue’s eyes blinked softly, then her other hand gently covered the back of Lin Xun’s hand, and then she held Lin Xun’s large hand as if to press it against her chest.

“Hurry up and get to the point, then leave immediately.” Lin Xun withdrew his hand.

Glancing at Lin Xun’s withdrawn hand, Bai Luoxue slowly raised her head: “I want to release Ice Lantern with you tomorrow.”

“No way!” Lin Xun rejected instantly.

“Why?”

“I say, do you know the meaning of releasing Ice Lantern?”

“Yes.” Bai Luoxue nodded. Her Three-no expression actually made her look dorky and cute.

“So, no.”

“Is it really not possible?”

“No.”

“…” Bai Luoxue lowered her eyelids. Her eyes were still so calm, showing no signs of disappointment or sadness, but with just one look, Lin Xun felt incredibly guilty.

“And I don’t have time; I already have an appointment tomorrow,” Lin Xun added, perhaps feeling his conscience prickling.

That’s right, he not only had to accompany Qinger but also give Wang Xing a birthday gift, and finally leave some time to tease Zhu Ling. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to go, he really had no time.

Bai Luoxue looked at Lin Xun and spoke slowly: “Then I will wait for you in the courtyard tomorrow. If you have time, can you come?”

“Don’t wait for me, I don’t have time.”

“It’s fine, I’ll just wait for you.”

“I really don’t have time. Even if you wait, I won’t go.”

“I’ll wait for you.”

“I—”

“I’ll wait for you.”

“…”

Looking into the girl’s eyes, Lin Xun didn’t know what to say for a moment.

“Then wait if you want. Anyway, I definitely won’t have time and won’t go.” Lin Xun turned back to continue washing dishes.

“Mm…”

Looking at Lin Xun’s back, Bai Luoxue spoke slowly.

“I will wait for you…”
