Suddenly, Lu Jin'an opened his eyes, and the gauze canopy above the bed was visible. The tip of his nose was filled with the scent of hair, soft and warm in his arms, the sensation unmistakable.
Without realizing it, he unconsciously raised his hand to touch his neck, yeah, it's still there, not painful at all.
Dream?
It's not that.
Lu Jin'an felt the completely depleted spirit and soul power, revealing a relieved smile, he had succeeded.
Relying on the "Great Self-Regard Meditation Method" that is similar to the 'saving game' in games and the 'simulator' in novels, which is like a reincarnation, he succeeded in experimenting with the transmigration of time and space with his own soul as a medium for the first time. So he didn't have to be killed… nor did he have to be forged into a sword spirit.
However, unlike those who are controlled by unknown forces and their destinies as in game saves, he relied on his own power to take control of his destiny into his hands.
It feels amazing to be in control of one's own destiny.
Although becoming a sword spirit is not death, he wants to become an immortal more.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Jin'an closed his eyes, feeling a bit relieved in his heart. He was grateful that Xu Nanzhi was not so pathological as to need the company of a corpse all the time.
It is because Xu Nanzhi only wanted to forge him into a sword spirit that Lu Jin'an had the opportunity to use the "Great Self-Regard Meditation Method" to reverse time when his soul left his body.
For some reason, Lu Jin'an feels grateful that there wasn't an awkward scene of Xu Nanzhi embracing him and kissing him.
Thinking about this, Lu Jin'an smiled silently and then fell into deep thought once more. Although the scene of being forged into a sword spirit was not false, from the current perspective, it could also be seen as a simulation and prediction of the future...
"Mm~~" came a soft cry from his embrace, as Xu Nanzhi rubbed her eyes and muttered, "Lord, are you awake?"
Lu Jin'an lowered his head to look at the woman with a lazy expression and a hint of cuteness, then turned to look at the clothes scattered on the floor and entangled with each other. By the color of the clothes, he figured out what day it was.
He would be forged into a sword spirit by Xu Nanzhi tonight.
Lu Jin'an's heartbeat quickened.
Loving a yandere is a story, but being loved by a yandere is indeed an accident!
It might be thrilling to be liked by a yandere who is both beautiful and in great shape, but Lu Jin'an doesn't want to experience another accident at all!
Therefore, the crisis has not been resolved yet, and unless something is done, he will still be unable to escape the fate of being turned into a sword spirit by Xu Nanzhi!
"Lord, you woke up particularly early today~"
With her eyes wide open, Xu Nanzhi showed a playful smile as she slowly climbed onto Lu Jin'an's body like a cat, her legs gently swaying under the thin quilt. Her warm, soft hands crossed his neck from behind and stayed there, the weight of her upper body pressing down heavily on him, which Lu Jin'an felt distinctly.
The tips of her flowing hair brushed past Lu Jin'an's shoulder, reflecting a deeper blue tint in the faint light, which was slightly lighter than black.
Kiss
Xu Nanzhi kissed Lu Jin'an's lips, her long, supple legs sliding down to the bedsheet on either side of him. She blushed slightly, puckering her lips in a soft laugh before burying her head into the crook of his neck and breathing deeply, clinging to him tightly, "No matter how I look at it, I don't think I'll ever get tired of Lord."
Lu Jin'an sniffed the fragrance coming from her hair, his thoughts were a bit complicated.
To be honest, it was difficult for him to associate her with the insane and mad image of a yandere at this moment.
Especially not that she had hidden the poison that sealed her cultivation level inside her body, and then poisoned him during intimacy...
Noticing that Xu Nanzhi was fidgety and wanted to practice again in the morning, Lu Jin'an quickly sat up and pushed her to one side, making her pout in dissatisfaction, "Lord~"
"I'm hungry." Lu Jin'an looked at her helplessly and smiled: "Don't you feel hungry?"
With the thin quilt slipping off her shoulder, Xu Nanzhi tilted her head to look at him, showing herself to the lord with an air of nonchalance. Her delicate collarbone had a graceful curve, and her flat stomach was free of any excess fat.
The legs, when pulled together, were slender and plump, matched with white skin without any imperfections and a cold, pure temperament. It was the best innate white silk saint body.
She rubbed her eyes, her tone bright and cheerful: "I was just about to feed the lord."
Looking at this woman who seemed to be a rebirth of the White Tiger, Lu Jin'an reached out and pinched her cheeks, smiling lightly as he said, "It's all my effort. How about considering me for a change?"
Xu Nanzhi stared at Lu Jin'an, feeling a bit dazed by the warm touch of her husband's big hand on her cheek.
Although the relationship between the two of them has been very close for the past six months, there is usually no communication afterwards. When did Lord ever make such an intimate gesture as he is doing now?
Xu Nanzhi blushed and looked down, her cheeks glowing with a spring bloom that was completely opposite to her cool temperament, like the peach blossoms of March.
Lu Jin'an looked at her, oh, besides her hidden yandere attributes, she was a high attack low defense?
"Lord, what would you like to eat? I'll go prepare it." Raising her head again, Xu Nanzhi asked with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes and a lively tone.
She was overjoyed, having been looking forward to elevating their relationship to the ultimate level of body and mind communication with her lord.
Being able to converse intimately with her lord in this way would allow her to enjoy their time together more and not rush the process of turning him into a sword spirit.
After all, if he is forced into becoming a sword spirit, it won't result in a perfect match, and the lord would definitely ignore her for a long time, not speaking to her... That would be too torturous.
"Alright." Lu Jin'an said softly: "Your food is very good."
"I'll go prepare it right away." Xu Nanzhi beamed and got out of bed, quickly putting on the corset skirt she had taken off last night before walking out of the bedroom with a light-hearted stride. She left behind a slender silhouette with bare shoulders and arms.
What a wonderful woman, why must she be a yandere?
Lu Jin'an let out a breath, his mood was complicated, but he didn't hate Xu Nanzhi.
He wasn't made of stone, how could he remain unchanged after more than a year?
It's just that, not knowing the other person's purpose in giving it freely, he has only dared to 'like' rather than 'love' all this time.
As for now... knowing Xu Nanzhi's purpose, Lu Jin'an's inner heart not only isn't worried, but even wants to take the initiative.
Ultimately, Xu Nanzhi's goal was to turn herself into her soul-sword spirit, so that she could always stay by her side.
Becoming a sword spirit is not death; it's just losing the physical body and continuing to exist by merging one's soul into the soul-sword.
If I don't have any talent for cultivation, living like this should also be fine. However, I don't want to be the sword spirit of a white-rich beauty.
Then, I'll just have to make her behave a little more, so that the yandere she doesn't succeed in her goals.
After all, one has to 'revenge' her for her ill-intentioned plans against oneself...
Although it should be to stay away from yandare in normal circumstances, as a cultivator, one should focus on being free and easy. It's not appropriate to 'retaliate' without doing so!
So the first step is to find a way to eliminate the unknown toxins in his body, because only with the foundation of cultivation, he has the confidence to confront yandere.
The only good news now is that he knows Xu Nanzhi's purpose for him, and at this moment, he has been poisoned and she can easily turn him into a mortal with the aid of a medicine catalyst, leaving him with no ability to resist.
So there's no need to always be on guard as before.
Unfortunately, Xu Nanzhi was too vigilant, and he didn't get to ask what kind of poison it was before activating the "Great Self-Regard Meditation Method".
At least, with the current situation, it's good enough. What remains is to think of a way to solve the problem.
Lu Jin'an picked up the loose martial robe on the chair by the bedside and put it on casually, tying his hair with a wood hairpin. Then he got out of bed, walked to the outer hall, pushed open the wooden door, and stepped into the sunlight.
The June breeze hit his face, a bit rough and slightly cool.
The morning sun and the mountains gradually filled his heart, and he could hear the sound of a waterfall and stream rushing through the clouds by his ear.
Lu Jin'an walked into the courtyard and looked up at the birds flying over the clouds, thinking deeply.
Since his rebirth into the Cloudtop Continent, it had been twenty years in total, during which he had experienced many big and small events. However, this was the first - no, the second time a woman had played with him like this.
Just that the second one was a bit more dangerous, but it was no big deal.
It's not that he wasn't vigilant enough, but how could a normal person think that Xu Nanzhi would hide the poison there?
What a crazy woman who can come up with such methods as forcing Xu Nanzhi to hide the poison, even if she is serious!
Thinking of this, Lu Jin'an couldn't help but smile again. Reincarnation was like a rebirth, and he had accumulated quite the collection of buffs.
Putting aside the thoughts cluttering his mind, listening to Xu Nanzhi preparing breakfast in the kitchen, Lu Jin'an began his morning exercises while also restoring his exhausted spirit power and spiritual power.
