Zhang Kexin unexpectedly burst into tears in front of so many people. No one knows how long she has been hiding her grievances inside. Zhang Kexin knows that if she and Tang Rao take one wrong step, their relationship will be completely over.
Tang Rao couldn't believe these words ca from Zhang Kexin's mouth. Previously, she tried every way to marry Tang Rao, but now she understands that using emotions to bind lives for a transaction is sowhat unethical. This version of Zhang Kexin is much more mature than a few months ago, making Tang Rao see her in a new light.
"Forget it, I won't ddle in your affairs. Once you miss this chance, you'll regret asking for help in the future. I won't agree again."
Bei Lin wasn't exactly furious; she just thought Zhang Kexin was too weak, like soone who couldn't stand on her own, and that saying more to her was pointless as she couldn't awaken her.
"Didn't you want to remove the life-binding insect for you? Co with ."
Bei Lin didn't even glance at Tang Rao, walking straight ahead, while Zhang Kexin wiped her tears and excitedly said to Tang Rao, "Brother Tang Rao, Sister Bei Lin agreed to treat you. Let help you over there."
Zhang Kexin was about to help Tang Rao over, but Wang Han was quicker, staring possessively at Zhang Kexin. Zhang Kexin realized that Tang Rao's woman was jealous, so she didn't dare to approach Tang Rao further.
Bei Lin took them to her childhood laboratory, filled with many strange things. Without Bei Lin's permission, no one dared to enter this place. But Zhang Kexin, due to her long friendship with Bei Lin since childhood, had been here several tis and didn't act as cautiously as others.
In the center of the laboratory was a steaming hot spring. This hot spring ford naturally here, but the water in the pool emitted a red mist that was indescribably eerie.
Take off your clothes and soak for 24 hours.
Everyone ca in to watch. Did these people all want to see Tang Rao without a stitch of clothing?
"Take off your clothes and soak for 24 hours?"
Tang Rao had no objections, but the first person to object was Beiyuan.
Bei Lin was his daughter. He originally thought detoxifying the poison was simple, without any eye-burning process, but now it seems not only eye-burning but also making a joke of his daughter's purity.
No wonder Bei Lin was so confident and made such a condition with Tang Rao. In Beiyuan's view, compared to the sacrifice Bei Lin was about to make, letting Tang Rao marry Zhang Kexin was simply a bargain for Tang Rao, wasn't it?
"Daughter, is it possible for him to soak inside while you guide from outside? You're still a young maiden. Seeing a man's body — how can you find a husband in the future once word gets out?"
Bei Lin didn't consider as thoroughly as Beiyuan did. Being a father, his first thought was whether his daughter would be hard. If she would be, he'd rather be the bad guy and stop the treatnt.
"Dad, if he soaks in my special potion, his body functions will change constantly. No one can say for sure what the poison will manifest as. If I leave, do you think his life can be saved?"
Neither option was viable, and Beiyuan was in a dilemma.
Standing in front of him was his daughter, after all. How could he bear to let his daughter suffer such grievance?
Just as Tang Rao was about to say it didn't matter and not to be difficult for anyone, an unexpected guest arrived at the Island Master Mansion. Even Tang Rao hadn't expected him to appear there.
"Beiyuan, you young lad know my disciple is seriously injured and don't save him, and even refuse your daughter's involvent. I see you've forgotten all the promises made by the great power back then!"
The visitor was none other than Tang Rao's nominal ntor, Wu Suowei.
Wu Suowei was covered in dirt; no one knew what he had encountered on his way here.
"You old rascal, you didn't show up for so many years, I thought you were dead. And what did you just say, Tang Rao is your disciple? Why haven't I heard about this before?"
Beiyuan felt his head aching; the information was too overwhelming for soone of his age to accept easily, which was understandable.
"What's there to say? You know I've always been low-key. I planned to travel the world recently, but my nominal disciple suddenly got poisoned. After hearing the news from Illusion City, I hurried back. Luckily, my disciple is fine; otherwise, we would all be dood, including you—also dood."
Wu Suowei's words were serious. In outsiders' ears, it might sound like a joke, but in Beiyuan's ears, he could discern Wu Suowei's words were rational and objective.
"Since he's your disciple, even if you didn't say anything, I would have Lin Lin personally treat him. I rember everything that the great power said back then, not daring to forget a single word."
Thinking of that great power, Beiyuan felt a lingering fear.
For those in the late stage of divine mastery like them, encountering a great power only ant being brutally defeated. Thinking of the great power made them not feel ashad; instead, they were proud and honored to have t him.
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
Earlier, she had been strongly opposed to Bei Lin overseeing Tang Rao soaking in the hot spring. With Wu Suowei's appearance, it suddenly seed like Beiyuan had changed and no longer opposed it.
She even felt that Beiyuan was about to ask her to personally oversee Tang Rao.
This premonition was incredibly strong.
"Daughter, Lin Lin, Tang Rao is a good kid; he must not be hard. We'll go outside in a while, and you stay inside to watch him. Whatever Tang Rao needs while soaking, you must satisfy him fully; don't throw a tantrum, you hear?"
Beiyuan repeatedly instructed Bei Lin, afraid she hadn't heard, whispering several tis in her ear until Bei Lin nearly started doubting her life, nodding reluctantly. Only then did he usher out all the unnecessary people in the laboratory, even happily shutting the lab door for Bei Lin.
Her father smiled obsequiously at her for the first ti.
Yes, Bei Lin couldn't think of a better word to describe Beiyuan's expression back then. Now, thinking back, the word "obsequious" fits perfectly.
In the room, only Tang Rao and Bei Lin were left. Tang Rao had enough strength to undress, and Bei Lin, after all, was a girl inexperienced with such matters. Seeing him undress, she automatically turned her head to the side, feeling her whole body heat up from face to neck to body.
"Are you done undressing? If you're done, get into the pool and soak."
Bei Lin stuttered a bit while speaking, but fortunately, she said every word completely, not embarrassing herself too much in front of Tang Rao.
"I'm already in the pool."
Tang Rao's voice rged with the red mist, and didn't seem too cold.
