Chapter 862

During the healing process, Xu Chen didn't forget to take a few small advantages.

For instance, while treating the wounds, he occasionally had to take off her clothes.

Emmmm, anyway, that's what I mean.

Xu Chen himself wasn't going to be the one at a loss.

This healing lasted a full month.

Xu Chen thoroughly cured Zhao Luoran's hidden injuries.

Then the whole person looked utterly exhausted and weak.

Because on the surface, he had already consumed a massive amount of lifespan and vital energy.

"Miss, your hidden injuries are far too terrifying—I have no idea what caused them."

"I did my best and cured you for you, but five thousand years of my lifespan are gone."

"This can be considered repaying the grace of you saving me back then."

"I have always been the sort who repays a drop of kindness with a gushing spring."

After saying this, Xu Chen lay flat on the ground, looking as if he couldn't move at all.

Then he showed signs of slipping into a deep sleep.

"Miss, I need to heal myself automatically—sorry, I can't take care of you."

"If you want to leave, you may go now."

Xu Chen said weakly.

At this moment, Zhao Luoran had already completely trusted Xu Chen.

After all, what fool would do this for a stranger?

And directly burn up five thousand years of his own lifespan?

He really is a fool.

Therefore she gritted her teeth and said earnestly:

"Don't move—I'll help you recover your lifespan."

At this moment, she glanced at the forest around them.

Presumably, she could at least obtain three thousand years of lifespan from it.

If it wasn't enough, she'd just make up the remaining two thousand herself.

After all, no matter how you put it.

Xu Chen was still her savior.

And on top of that, he was so handsome.

At this moment, Zhao Luoran's cheeks flushed slightly.

If it were an ordinary handsome man.

Then she, Zhao Luoran, certainly wouldn't be moved.

After all, she had seen far too many.

But Xu Chen was different.

Too foolish—sacrificing far too much just to save her.

If her heart held no ripple at all.

Then that would naturally be fake.

Moreover, she had shared skin-to-skin intimacy with Xu Chen.

Although nothing actually happened.

But she, a young girl of several thousand years, had already begun to feel the first stirrings of love.

...... And.

Zhao Luoran naturally wasn't some heartless person either.

As she looked at Xu Chen, a trace of tenderness flashed through her eyes.

She planned to take good care of Xu Chen first, and only then leave.

After all, her hidden injuries, if not for Xu Chen.

Would absolutely have been impossible to heal.

The Undying Dao was extremely rare.

That she could encounter it and receive help was also her good fortune.

She had now received the benefit, so naturally she couldn't leave so casually.

Having thought this through, she began to carefully tend to Xu Chen.

At the same time, she drew the Life Force from the surrounding forest, converting it into lifespan.

Doing her utmost to let Xu Chen recover as quickly as possible.

This tending naturally also lasted no short span of days.

Because although Xu Chen had long since been able to recover.

Xu Chen kept deliberately injuring himself, stubbornly refusing to let himself heal.

He had only one goal.

To make Zhao Luoran invest even more in him.

The reasoning was simple.

The more a person invests in another person.

The harder it becomes to leave when the time comes.

To give means to pour oneself in.

He vaguely sensed that Zhao Luoran had developed a strong favorable impression of him.

He judged by intuition.

The longer the time, this favorable impression would turn into genuine feeling.

As a scumbag.

No—as a professional of the Scammer's Way.

Naturally, the choice was to attack the heart first, the best of the best strategies.

As expected, it was probably a full seven days later.

That Xu Chen had mostly recovered.

Zhao Luoran saw this and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Chen's kindness, she could be considered to have repaid.

No, wait—Xu Chen was injured because of her.

Overall, it still didn't count as repaying the kindness.

So she asked:

"Xu Chen, do you have any wish?

I want to help you fulfill it, don't worry, no matter what it is.

I will do my best to complete it, please believe me."

Xu Chen teased: "What? If I told you to marry me, would you be willing?"

The moment these words came out, Zhao Luoran directly smacked Xu Chen:

"Ugh, how can you be like this."

She appeared slightly shy, her heart racing inside.

If Xu Chen was serious.

Would she agree?

She vaguely felt that she probably really would.

After all, a man like Xu Chen.

Was truly very rare in this world.

At least she had never seen one before.
