2: Lin Shuiyao wakes up, childhood sweetheart

Yes, Lin Shuiyao's unconsciousness was Chen Xuan's doing.

After twenty years of hard Cultivation, all his efforts turned to naught! He already hated Qin Feng to the extreme, and the latter dared to bring him back to his Qin Family!

Originally, Chen Xuan was pondering how to make Qin Feng suffer. After seeing Lin Shuiyao for the first time, countless ideas instantly surged in his mind, but these ideas all led to the same destination, and the goal was only one: Heh heh heh.

As for Lin Shuiyao, she possessed a Soft Water Body and good Cultivation talent, but for some unknown reason, she was still a Mortal.

Perhaps the author was too lazy to describe more, or perhaps there was some hidden identity, but Chen Xuan clearly knew that this woman was a dual-Soul entity, and the other Soul had a great background, with no other clues remaining.

It was because he had Transmigrated into an unfinished novel, which left him unclear about the subsequent plot, but he knew this woman was very important.

One hour later.

“Hmm.”

Lin Shuiyao softly hummed and slowly woke up. The first thing she saw was Chen Xuan diligently working.

Their distance was very close. Chen Xuan's handsome face, with eyes like stars, shimmered with the light of wisdom. His features were distinct and well-defined, giving off a sense of calm and steadfastness.

“Mr. Chen…” Lin Shuiyao's pretty face flushed slightly. She didn't know how many years it had been since she had such close contact with a man.

“Madam, you're awake! My efforts haven't been in vain after all!” Chen Xuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

“Efforts?” Lin Shuiyao tilted her head, looking at Chen Xuan's hands.

“Ah!!! Ah!”

The entire room suddenly echoed with the world's highest pitched scream, but it was immediately muffled by Chen Xuan.

“Shh! Madam, don't panic, please let me explain!” Chen Xuan covered Lin Shuiyao's mouth and hurriedly explained.

Lin Shuiyao's face was flushed, completely ignoring Chen Xuan's words, and she tried to struggle to get up. Since both of them were Mortals at this time, Chen Xuan found it a bit difficult to handle her.

“Madam, please let me explain!” Chen Xuan said again, but Lin Shuiyao remained unresponsive.

This made Chen Xuan angry. He hardened his heart, picked up Lin Shuiyao, turned her over, and gave her a smack.

It was quiet now.

Lin Shuiyao was stunned. She looked at Chen Xuan in disbelief, then tightly closed her eyes, tears welling up, looking as if she was bravely facing death.

Chen Xuan: “???”

Seeing Lin Shuiyao, who seemed to have resigned herself to fate, Chen Xuan patiently explained to her.

“Ah? Mr. Chen, you weren't… I'm, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, Mr. Chen.” After hearing the reason, Lin Shuiyao immediately apologized to Chen Xuan with a red face.

“It's good that Madam is fine. Then I won't disturb you any longer, I'll take my leave!” Chen Xuan clasped his fists and left directly, leaving Lin Shuiyao alone in the room.

“Mr. Chen, how is Madam?” Azi quickly asked.

“I'm glad to report that Madam has woken up.”

“That's good, that's good!”

Azi also covered her little heart and sighed in relief. She finally didn't have to worry about being killed by Qin Feng.

At this moment, Chen Xuan was staring at Azi. He suddenly realized that the little girl in front of him also seemed to be very beautiful, with long eyebrows like a new moon, bright eyes like stars, and small, rosy lips, exuding a delicate beauty.

It was just a pity that her body was frail and couldn't withstand any hardship.

However, overall, although Azi was frail at this time, one could vaguely see the potential for her to grow into an absolute beauty in the future.

“How old are you this year?”

“Ah? This servant is just eighteen this year!” Azi hurriedly replied.

“Eighteen? You look like this…” A hint of heartache flashed in Chen Xuan's eyes. This little girl must have suffered a lot since childhood, as she looked like she was only fourteen or fifteen!

“What's wrong, Mr. Chen?”

“Nothing. From now on, you'll come to my place every day at noon.”

“Yes.” Azi didn't ask further but agreed directly.

“Oh, right, later tell Madam that to fully recover, I'll need to continue treatment for a month!” Chen Xuan finished speaking and left directly.

As for Lin Shuiyao, after seeing Chen Xuan leave, she sat on the bed in a daze. After all, this kind of thing had too much of an impact on her.

As soon as she woke up, it could be said that she herself had no secrets from Chen Xuan.

“Why did I inexplicably faint? Could it be someone from the Qin Family Main Branch?” Lin Shuiyao murmured to herself.

“And that hateful Chen Xuan, he actually, actually dared to hit me…!” Saying this, Lin Shuiyao had a… strange expression.

One could only say that perhaps Chen Xuan usually enjoyed exercising, especially watching Lao Da play basketball.

Although she was flailing around, there was no need for you, Chen Xuan, to treat her like that! No matter what, her seniority was still…

“Sigh, in the end, he was also trying to save me, and he himself is a Mortal. My son is at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, so he definitely wouldn't dare to have any ideas about me!” Lin Shuiyao muttered to herself.

Just as her voice fell, Azi walked in.

“What's wrong, Azi?”

“It's like this, Madam, Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen said that your cold poison needs…”

“What? A month of continuous treatment?!!! Doesn't that mean…” Lin Shuiyao was about to faint.

“Mr. Chen also said that if you don't accept the treatment, it will recur in the future. For your safety, Madam, you should accept the treatment properly!” Azi advised.

She actually knew how Chen Xuan treated her, but she didn't dare to say it, so she just pretended not to know.

“Alright, I understand. You can go out now!”

“Yes.”

Watching Azi leave, Lin Shuiyao could no longer hold back and immediately buried herself under the covers.

“Ah ah ah ah ah ah, how could this happen!”

At this moment, Lin Shuiyao had no trace of a mature woman's demeanor, only feeling incredibly embarrassed. After all, that Chen Xuan was just her son's Senior Brother, and she never expected to have to be so open with him!

No, it was only she who was open. As soon as she thought of this, she wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it.

However, she had never thought of giving up treatment. She couldn't die, nor was she willing to die; she still carried a deep-seated hatred waiting to be avenged!

…

As for Chen Xuan, after finishing Lin Shuiyao's treatment, he left the Qin Family and went to a shop called Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

Although he could treat Lin Shuiyao's cold poison without external help, he still had to put on a show. At the very least, he would buy some fire-attribute Spirit Treasures to make it look convincing.

And the most famous specialty of Flame Feather City was the flame feather from the flame feather bird. This item might be slightly more expensive elsewhere, but it was extremely cheap here.

Although flame feather was only a low-grade fire-attribute Material and its uses were not particularly wide, it was more than enough to warm Lin Shuiyao's body.

However, just as Chen Xuan finished buying with his limited Spirit Stones and was about to leave, he suddenly heard someone call him.

“Excuse me, are you Senior Brother Chen?” The voice was soft and pleasant.

Chen Xuan turned around and saw a very charming young lady standing before him.

Her appearance was clear and ethereal, with eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like stars, a delicate nose, and cherry lips naturally red, smiling sweetly.

Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, flowing with the wind, and a white dress swept the ground, as if a Fairy had descended.

Liu Yanxin reference (delete if infringing)

“I am Chen Xuan. May I ask, young lady, who are you?”

“I am Liu Yanxin. Didn't Qin Feng tell you?”

“So it's Junior Brother Qin's friend. It's just that I indeed don't know you, and Junior Brother Qin never informed me.” Chen Xuan said.

He actually already knew who the person was when he heard Liu Yanxin's name. She was one of the heroines of the novel, Qin Feng's childhood sweetheart, a very kind and gentle woman.

“Then let's get acquainted. I am Qin Feng's fiancée. I hope Senior Brother Chen will take care of me in the future.”

“Not at all, not at all. Now I am just a useless person. Perhaps I might even need your help, Miss Liu!”

“As long as Senior Brother Chen has any requests, I will definitely help you!” Liu Yanxin said with a smile.

“Then I thank Miss Liu. However, I still have some matters to attend to, so I won't stay long. Farewell.” After saying this, Chen Xuan was about to leave.

No good deed goes unpunished! This woman, though not bad, surely wants to gain some benefit from him!

And Chen Xuan could probably guess Liu Yanxin's request, so he would just wait for her to speak first.

“Hey, Senior Brother, please wait!”

“Is there anything else, Miss Liu?”

“This junior sister indeed has something to ask of you!”

“Please speak.”

Liu Yanxin looked around, pulled Chen Xuan to a secluded spot, and then spoke of the predicament she was facing.

It was pretty much as Chen Xuan had guessed: a problem with Cultivation.

The Liu Family in Flame Feather City was of the same Rank as the Qin Family, but Liu Yanxin was not the Young Miss of the Liu Family; she was born from a collateral branch.

Her father and Qin Feng's father were very close brothers, so the two families had arranged a childhood engagement.

However, due to her family background and talent, Liu Yanxin's Cultivation Level was still at Cultivation Level Six and had made no progress. So Qin Feng went out alone to seek a master and learn skills, while Liu Yanxin stayed in Flame Feather City.
