Chapter 316: Are you a reincarnated immortal?

Murong Wan was indeed eavesdropping.

At that moment, she held a bowl of sour plum soup in her hand, standing daintily at the corner, her small ears already perked up.

Just now she had gone to the kitchen to prepare sour plum soup for Lu Xun to sober up.

Leaving aside her relationship with Lu Xun, tonight she is the host and Lu Xun the guest, so she naturally cannot be neglectful.

However, just as she stepped out of the kitchen, she heard Chu Youqing confiding her life story to Lu Xun.

This naturally made Murong Wan curious.

Out of curiosity, she lightened her steps.

With her cultivation, she could walk even lighter than a cat.

Chu Youqing wouldn't use divine sense to probe, so she couldn't possibly notice her.

Lu Xun heard it.

But Lu Xun chose not to expose her.

In the living room, Chu Youqing seemed still to be organizing her words.

"If Aunt hears this, it's not good, Lu Xun; maybe I should tell you later."

Chu Youqing suddenly realized this was Murong Wan's villa path.

How could it be bad if Murong Wan heard it?

Wasn't this matter something you two worked out yourselves?

"Actually, it's nothing; if Aunt really heard it, then she heard it."

After hesitating a bit, Chu Youqing still decided to speak up.

Lu Xun didn't interject the whole time.

Chu Youqing also didn't mind, and she continued: "Back then I was actually afraid you wouldn't be able to open your meridians, and Mother wouldn't let me marry you, so I thought, since Aunt also can't open her meridians, why not pair you with Aunt? That would also count as compensation for you."

"Is that all?"

Lu Xun wasn't too surprised.

Chu Youqing isn't someone with deep scheming; he had already guessed her little thoughts.

"Hmm!"

Chu Youqing nodded: "My original plan was to wait until Aunt gave birth to her child, then try to get you two together; although Aunt said she didn't want to marry, now that she has a child, I can find plenty of reasons."

"For example, not letting the child lack paternal love."

"They say people's thoughts change; many women, once they have a child, have thoughts completely different from before. Although Aunt Wan is beautiful, she's still a woman after all."

"Then I'll often bring you to see the child to deepen feelings; that way you'll naturally end up together, and by then I'll have no regrets."

Chu Youqing also had a meticulous plan.

The premise of this plan was that Lu Xun couldn't open his meridians, and Murong Wan couldn't either.

According to the situation then, the possibility of Lu Xun opening his meridians was indeed low.

After his family property was seized, his foundation was too weak.

If there was no hope, even if Lu Xun later opened one or two meridians, Murong Yan would probably not agree to Chu Youqing marrying Lu Xun.

Put yourself in Lu Xun's parents' shoes: their daughter insists on marrying a good-for-nothing yellow-haired guy.

The daughter even says: "Mom, he's different from others."

Then Lu Xun would also be furious.

That's human nature.

Chu Youqing still understands her parents quite well.

That's why she came up with this idea.

Wanting to pair Lu Xun with Murong Wan would both help Murong Wan and compensate Lu Xun.

"I just didn't expect that after that day, Aunt underwent such a huge change, and you suddenly became a genius... Lu Xun, I've always suspected that your changes might be related to that night."

Chu Youqing had a sudden brainwave.

Her suspicion was not wrong at all.

The changes in Lu Xun and Murong Wan really are related to that night.

The precondition for activating the system should be that Lu Xun triggered the binding condition.

Coincidentally, that night Lu Xun triggered the binding condition, thereby activating the system and binding Murong Wan.

This thereby opened up a great change in his life.

Chu Youqing's words, on the contrary, reminded the eavesdropping Murong Wan.

Murong Wan recalled the kiss Lu Xun had demanded before parting.

It seemed,

precisely through that kiss, Lu Xun gave her some strange energy, thereby allowing her Exquisite Treasure Body to be activated.

She had already been suspecting it, just didn't dare to confirm.

Now, Murong Wan suddenly felt it was most likely Lu Xun!

This made Murong Wan inevitably curious about where Lu Xun got it from.

Could it be that Lu Xun really is, as the outside world says, a reincarnation of an ancient great power?

Or even... an immortal reincarnation!

Hmm, Murong Wan didn't know that Fu Xue had taken Lu Xun to the Grand Void Secret Realm and, via the Reincarnation Realm, confirmed he wasn't a reincarnation.

Nowadays, the outside world has too many guesses about Lu Xun.

Among these guesses, the most astonishing is undoubtedly immortal reincarnation.

What ancient great power.

Not cool enough.

Directly ascend to become an immortal.

Whether immortals actually exist or not, nobody knows.

But even an existence as beyond common sense as an Ancient God exists in this world.

Why then don't immortals exist?

"Also, Lu Xun, when my ancient spirit root was activated back then, it was also the innate spiritual energy you gave me, right?"

In the living room, Chu Youqing's voice sounded again.

Chu Youqing's thoughts are simple, but she's not stupid.

She is actually as clever as ice and snow.

Back then in the capital, that kiss of Lu Xun made Chu Youqing feel as if something had entered her body along with it.

That must be innate spiritual energy.

She felt that way at the time.

However, Murong Yan had investigated Lu Xun's background and did not believe he could obtain such a precious treasure as innate spiritual energy.

If Lu Xun could obtain it so easily, then they wouldn't be given a hard time by the He clan.

"Lu Xun, say something~"

Seeing Lu Xun still not speaking, Chu Youqing couldn't take it anymore.

She wasn't interrogating him; she was purely curious.

"Well, the innate spiritual energy is indeed what I gave you."

Lu Xun admitted it.

"I knew it! My ancient spirit root hadn't awakened for over ten years—how could it just awaken like that? Hmph, even my mom didn't believe it back then~"

Chu Youqing was overjoyed, her gaze toward her boyfriend filled with affection and admiration.

"Lu Xun, back when Lan Xing hadn't yet entered the ancient road node, where did you get that innate spiritual energy from?"

Immediately, Chu Youqing became curious again.

"I borrowed it from the Martial Manor."

Lu Xun came up with an excuse.

"Tch, trying to fool a kid? I don't believe it."

Chu Youqing didn't believe it.

She grabbed Lu Xun's arm, her eyes shining like the stars in the sky: "Lu Xun, tell me, are you an immortal reincarnation?"

Uh.

Immortal reincarnation?

This is a term Chu Youqing heard somewhere.

"After we finished defending at Greedy Wolf Fortress, many cultivators there said the same thing: they claimed only this possibility could explain why you're so powerful."

Seeing Lu Xun look doubtful, Chu Youqing explained.

So that's how it is.

Lu Xun is indeed a bit too heaven-defying, naturally prompting a lot of wild speculation.

"Alright, I won't keep questioning you, Lu Xun—I don't care whether you're some great power or an immortal reincarnation; as long as you're still Lu Xun, you'll forever be my boyfriend."

Saying this, Chu Youqing didn't know what she had thought of, and two blushes like red clouds quietly rose on her jade-white cheeks.

She leaned close to Lu Xun's ear and whispered: "When I reach the Six Realms, I will, I will..."

Being inexperienced in such matters, she couldn't go on.

"You just what?"

Lu Xun deliberately teased her.

"You're terrible."

Chu Youqing couldn't take it anymore, and she started playfully fighting with Lu Xun.
