Chapter 454: Ch 454 – Are you one of her people?
This situation always made Yino feel insecure.
Even with his rebirth memories, he could calculate heaven and earth. But he couldn’t calculate what Chaerin would use her leverage to make him do next…
“Well, it’s getting late.”
“Yino is fine now. Ruoning, why don’t you go rest first? Let Yino sleep in my room tonight to recuperate properly.”
“This way, if Yino has any problems at night, I’ll be right next door under the same roof. It’ll be convenient to treat him again.”
As evening fell, Ye Chaerin casually lit the bedside candle and spoke lightly.
“That… that makes sense.”
Ruoning nodded obediently, showing slight hesitation before slowly agreeing.
She looked back at Yino one last time. Though reluctant to leave, under her master’s kind gaze, she still got up obediently to leave.
“Then Ruoning will go rest first. Yino, you should recuperate well tonight and listen to Master…”
“Wait, wait!”
Seeing Ruoning being sent away leaving only him and Ye Chaerin, Yino suddenly panicked.
He tried to get up from the bed but was grabbed by Ye Chaerin’s arm.
“Be careful, you just recovered.”
Chaerin narrowed her cold eyes. She spoke gently, but her hand’s strength wasn’t small at all. It was like she feared letting Yino escape if she wasn’t careful.
Before Yino could answer, Ye Chaerin’s fingertips injected some spiritual energy. Instantly Yino felt that familiar exhaustion surge through his limbs again.
“No, I, I need to use the bathroom…”
Yino said awkwardly.
At these words, the wariness on Chaerin’s face faded.
She stared at Yino for a few seconds. Knowing nature’s call couldn’t be stopped, then sighed.
“Using the bathroom, that indeed can’t be helped.”
“But Yino, you just recovered and your body is still weak. Plus it’s your first visit to Jinglan Peak so you don’t know the way. How about letting Little Huai lead and support you?”
Ye Chaerin spoke lightly. Though phrased as a suggestion, she’d written her intention to monitor Yino all over her face.
For a moment, Yino and Chaerin locked eyes. His lips twitched again.
Actually, Chaerin’s guess wasn’t wrong.
He said bathroom, but really planned to carry the train and run away overnight.
This Jinglan Peak’s master knew too much. Yino didn’t want to stay even one more second!
“Master, how about I accompany Yino instead!”
During the standoff, the door cracked open. Ruoning who was about to leave but hadn’t yet poked her red face through the gap and volunteered bravely.
For a moment, Ye Chaerin looked at Ruoning. Her originally serious face showed some doubt.
After long silence, Ye Chaerin’s cheeks faintly blushed pink.
“Yino just recovered and is weak. If you take him to relieve himself, are you planning to make the blood and Qi in his body surge again?”
“Um, this… Master makes a good point…”
Ruoning wanted to argue, but her little schemes were completely exposed before her master.
For Yino’s health, she finally nodded obediently and closed the door to leave.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll trouble Senior Huai to lead the way…”
Seeing Ruoning completely sent away, Yino didn’t bother pretending anymore. He answered with dead eyes.
“Go quickly and return. Tonight, I still have many questions to discuss deeply with you.”
On the bench by the bed, the elegant beauty turned her back to the night scene with a graceful smile.
“Brother Yino, what did Master say to you? In all these years, I’ve never seen Master humming happily to herself by the window…”
While relieving himself, Ye Huai couldn’t help voicing his doubts.
Yino glanced at him and shrugged with pursed lips: “No comment. This is a secret between me and your master. She won’t let me tell others.”
“Ah? Then, are you staying in Master’s room overnight?”
“What else… Do you think I’m happy being specially favored by your master?”
“Hm?! What do you mean by that?”
“Literal meaning.”
….
Yino felt uncomfortable under Ye Chaerin’s interrogation. Now Ye Huai questioned him repeatedly. His mood naturally wasn’t good.
So Yino deliberately spoke vaguely. This was his way of being sarcastic behind Chaerin’s back.
But… When Yino’s half-joking words fell, he suddenly noticed anxiety and unease in Ye Huai’s eyes.
This guy’s expression always feels off somehow…
Yino raised his eyebrows slightly. A strange sense of dejavu struck him.
After that, Ye Huai’s face clearly darkened. He supervised Yino like escorting a prisoner. Following his master’s instructions, he honestly brought Yino back to Chaerin’s room.
That night, after Ye Huai and Ruoning left, only Yino and Chaerin remained for all-night talks.
Compared to their first confrontational meeting, Chaerin’s conversation principles were quite practical this time.
She stopped pursuing the secrets on Yino’s body. Instead, as Ruoning’s master, she seriously discussed future romantic developments between him and Ruoning.
Chaerin’s principles boiled down to two points.
First, before Ruoning achieved immortality, Yino absolutely couldn’t get her pregnant.
Second, before Yino gained the Liu family elders’ approval, Ruoning must stay at Jinglan Peak. Chaerin wouldn’t agree to let Yino run off with Ruoning again.
Regarding these responsibility requirements, Yino didn’t object.
Rather, some requirements made Yino feel Chaerin was helping him tremendously.
First was pregnancy. Yino never considered having children. Even if family pressured him in the future, Yuyan without family burdens would be more suitable for bearing children.
Besides that, Ye Chaerin forbidding Ruoning from leaving Jinglan Peak.
Lady, how do you know I was thinking the same thing?
Indeed, Yino previously promised Ruoning he’d take her away. But Yino didn’t actually plan to break with the Liu family. After clearing this secret realm at Liuli Sect, he’d definitely return to renegotiate with the Liu family.
Before reaching consensus with the Liu family, Yino needed to find ways to keep Ruoning safe.
Ruoning wasn’t a contracted spirit or demon after all. She couldn’t contract into Yino’s spiritual sea. This meant Ruoning needed a physically safe space.
Now Chaerin volunteered as this nanny. She had time to watch Ruoning and could teach her too.
This was truly sending charcoal in snowy weather!
Free childcare – where else could you find such a good deal?
Thinking this, Yino felt deeply moved. He stood up and firmly grasped Chaerin’s hand, earnestly agreeing.
“You… seem completely unreluctant about separating from Ruoning?”
“Moreover…”
“Let go of my hand. Tsk, No manners… did I permit you to touch me?”
That night, under candlelight and moonlight, the green-dressed fairy frowned. Her eyes were full of wariness as she glared at Yino.
For a moment, Yino feared getting beaten. He quickly released Chaerin’s hand.
Who could have thought his agreement was too quick? This instead aroused another round of Chaerin’s suspicion.
“How could Ruoning fall for such an irresponsible scoundrel…”
“Indeed, men are all smooth-talking wolves.”
Chaerin believed Yino just didn’t want to take responsibility for Ruoning. She grew angrier and lightly bit her lips while cursing under her breath.
Hearing this, Yino immediately felt unhappy.
Insulting his birth was fine. But calling him a scoundrel was truly inappropriate.
Speaking of Yino’s boundless love – which girl he’d won over didn’t have her own difficult circumstances?
Yino had rescued them from the abyss.
As for Ruoning…
