Chapter 1960 - 1961: Qin Lan Awakens

Chapter 1960: Chapter 1961: Qin Lan Awakens

At this moment, Qin Lan, who appeared before Ye Xuan, had gray hair, a sallow complexion, wrinkled skin, and a hunched body, looking very much like an elder who might collapse with a light breeze.

That once sweet smile now seemed full of kindness as she looked at Ye Xuan like he was a child she was very pleased with...

Who the heck could handle this?

If Ye Xuan and Qin Lan had no past entanglements, that would be different, but the problem is... Ye Xuan is the man who had a nosebleed over Qin Lan!!

"So terrifying..."

In the boundless dark space, Ye Xuan’s heart pounded wildly, and he felt a shiver down his spine.

This scene, to him, was scarier than encountering ghosts or deities!

It perfectly encapsulated the phrase "dreams are sexy, reality is bony"... Qin Lan, in her youthful visage, indeed was super sexy!

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but close his eyes in agony.

Thinking that the old lady before him once made him have a nosebleed, and even recently did so again, he felt like he’d been played.

What kind of karma is this?!

"It’s okay, it’s just a dream."

Ye Xuan could only silently comfort himself.

He also knew, in this dream, the reason the old lady version of Qin Lan appeared was because he had just recently learned Qin Lan’s real age, making it subconsciously a bit difficult to accept.

"Phew—"

Ye Xuan exhaled heavily, finally calming his tumultuous emotions, but when he opened his eyes again, his mindset was once more shattered.

Because, elder Qin Lan had silently approached him!

As she drew closer, what entered Ye Xuan’s nose was not the familiar fragrance, but... the distinct scent of old age!

Ye Xuan’s pupils contracted as he stared blankly at elder Qin Lan.

Qin Lan grinned at Ye Xuan, revealing a mouthful of broken, decaying teeth, and let out a hoarse, eerie voice: "Child, it’s time for you to wake up!"

As she spoke, elder Qin Lan actually tiptoed and... kissed Ye Xuan’s face.

I...

Ye Xuan’s eyes widened in shock, breathless, terrified, collapsing.

I got... harassed by a hundred and eighty-six-year-old granny?

What kind of nightmare is this?

"Wake up, wake up now!"

The collapsing Ye Xuan finally couldn’t take it anymore, his heart turned harsh, and he slapped himself hard in the face...

Smack!

A crisp, piercing sound echoed.

"Dang it, that hurt like hell!"

A scorching pain shot from his face, Ye Xuan grimaced and couldn’t help but curse.

Then he opened his eyes.

Seeing the elegant canopy above, feeling the soft and comfortable bed beneath, and the faint fragrance lingering in the air... Ye Xuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, finally, he had woken up!

"That was terrifying..."

Ye Xuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, took a long time to come to his senses, and then started to observe his surroundings.

At this moment, he was still in Qin Lan’s room and was lying on her bed.

As for Qin Lan?

She had long since awoken.

Ye Xuan looked over, and soon saw a graceful figure standing not far away, even though her back was to him, she still exuded a fairy-like aura.

She stood with her hands behind her, slightly aloof.

She was quiet and elegant, with no visible energy fluctuations, yet she gave off an unfathomable feeling.

Even Ye Xuan, at this moment, couldn’t help but feel a twinge of fear.

He didn’t even dare to doubt that this woman, standing with her hands behind her back, could easily crush him in his prime with a mere flick of her finger!!

This was Qin Lan.

But not the Qin Lan, the police flower from the East Sea Police Department, but the Guardian of the Xiahou Family, a legendary figure aged one hundred and eighty-six, Qin Lan!

"Looks like it succeeded."

Ye Xuan looked deeply at Qin Lan, knowing that the injuries on Qin Lan were already healed, and his treatment was a success.

With a twitch of his lips, Ye Xuan supported his still weak body out of bed, cautiously moved his gaze towards Qin Lan, and then walked around to stand in front of her.

Seeing that youthful, stunning face, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness..." ℯℯ𝑙.

Luckily, the real Qin Lan didn’t turn into the elder in the dream; though she was old, if she insisted on kissing Ye Xuan, he might just grit his teeth and accept it.

While Ye Xuan felt relieved.

The Qin Lan, standing with her hands behind her back, gazed at him.

Her gaze was very cold, her eyes deep, like a calm, ancient well, neither cold nor warm, both ancient and quiet, like an old monster that had lived for hundreds of years.

In fact, she indeed was...

Under such a gaze, Ye Xuan suddenly awoke, his heart inexplicably feeling a bit tense, unusually, Ye Xuan felt as though Qin Lan could see through him in one glance.

This was not only a suppression of strength but also one of age and experience!

"Not bad."

In the quiet, Qin Lan, who had looked at Ye Xuan for two or three seconds, suddenly nodded, uttering two soft words.

Ye Xuan was taken aback at the sound.

Qin Lan’s voice was still the same, but at this moment, it felt extremely unfamiliar to him!

Very cold.

Yet it wasn’t Li Qiuxue’s kind of cold.

It was more like a detachment from the Six Realms, as if she had lost interest in everything, and nothing could stir her interest anymore!

But only for a moment, Ye Xuan suddenly understood.

An old witch that has lived for one hundred eighty-six years should indeed be like this, as over such a long period, she had experienced everything in human world, except perhaps for the matters between men and women...

"Thank you for your assistance, your life-saving grace, I will never forget," Qin Lan looked at Ye Xuan and spoke again: "Leave your name, and if there’s a chance in the future, I will surely repay this favor."

"What?" Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows: "You don’t know who I am?"

Qin Lan asked indifferently: "Should I know you?"

Ye Xuan: "..."

No way? Had Qin Lan, after completing the sixth reincarnation and awakening her memories, completely forgotten everything from her cycle in the Mortal World?

This doesn’t make sense!

In the ’Journey to the West’, even the Tianshan Tonglao didn’t lose her memory, and she wouldn’t forget everything that happened after rejuvenation...

Ye Xuan came back to his senses, suddenly feeling a deep sense of heaviness and sorrow, as though he had lost something out of thin air, feeling an immense void and emptiness.

He was somewhat unwilling to accept it all.

So, he subtly shifted his gaze, looked up at Qin Lan, and asked somewhat incredulously: "I am Ye Xuan, and... you really don’t recognize me?"
