Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 503 - 467 Yu Sisi’s Condition_2

Upon seeing Lu Chuan’s confidence, Yu Sisi’s face showed a hint of despondency, unsure whether it was because she would have to reincarnate after the seal was lifted or for some other reason.

After a while, she calmed down and looked at Lu Chuan, saying, "All right, it’s a deal then. You help me lift the seal, and I won’t harm Zhong Ling’er."

A smile appeared on Lu Chuan’s face as he said, "It’s a deal!"

"When do we set off?"

After pondering for a moment, Yu Sisi replied, "The sooner the better. It will take a few days to reach Devil’s Cave, but before that, you need to help me find a Yang Restoration Stone."

"A Yang Restoration Stone? What do you need that for?" Lu Chuan asked, puzzled.

The so-called Yang Restoration Stone was a type of gemstone with an intense aura of yang energy. Rumor had it that if a spirit consumed a Yang Restoration Stone, they could, for a short time, appear indistinguishable from a real living person, and the spirit’s form would be as tangible as a real body.

However, the effect of the Yang Restoration Stone could only last for a short duration, at most no longer than a day.

With a nonchalant tone, Yu Sisi said, "You just need to help me find it. What I use it for is none of your concern."

Lu Chuan, figuring that Yu Sisi probably wanted to experience what it was like to be truly alive before reincarnating, to fulfill her own wishes, agreed, "All right. Although not common, the Yang Restoration Stone isn’t really a rare item either. Any high-quality gemstone can produce the effect of a Yang Restoration Stone, given it has been worn for a long time by someone with a strong yang energy."

"To save time, why don’t we set off today? I’ll look for the Yang Restoration Stone for you on the way. How about that?"

Yu Sisi nodded and replied, "That would be acceptable."

At this moment, Han Qingci stood up and said, "I’m going too!"

Both Lu Chuan and Yu Sisi nearly spoke at the same time, "No!"

Their eyes met, and they exchanged a look that was somewhat odd.

Lu Chuan was worried about the numerous dangers inside Devil’s Cave. If Han Qingci went along, she wouldn’t just be unable to help, but she would also distract him. For safety reasons, he did not want Han Qingci to follow.

Yu Sisi, on the other hand, knew from Zhong Ling’er’s novel that Han Qingci had a relationship with Lu Chuan too. Bringing Han Qingci meant bringing along a rival in love, even if Lu Chuan was only Lu Jingxing’s reincarnation; it still wouldn’t do.

Han Qingci hadn’t expected that both of them would disagree with her following them, feeling a surge of grievance as she said, "Why not? I am an Innate Spirit Body. Perhaps the demonic monster would be afraid of me!"

Yu Sisi rolled her eyes and said, "The power of the demonic monster comes from the same source as mine. Do you think I’d be afraid of you?"

Han Qingci deflated, realizing that her Innate Spirit Body probably couldn’t restrain the demonic monster after all.

Lu Chuan placed his hand on Han Qingci’s shoulder and said, "Qingci, be good. The trip to Devil’s Cave is fraught with unknown dangers; I can’t take you with me to risk it. Stay safely at home and wait for me. I promise to bring Ling’er back safe and sound."

Han Qingci could only nod in agreement, saying, "Alright then, Brother Lu Chuan, you must be very careful."

Lu Chuan smiled and ruffled her hair, saying, "Don’t worry, don’t you know me by now? If I weren’t sure, I wouldn’t have agreed so easily."

Han Qingci hummed in response and then hesitantly glanced at Yu Sisi, seemingly a bit scared, but eventually, she mustered up the courage to ask Lu Chuan, "Brother Lu Chuan, can you come with me to the courtyard for a moment?"

"For what?" Lu Chuan inquired.

With some embarrassment, Han Qingci said, "Oh, just come with me."

Then she said to Yu Sisi, "Miss Ghost Sister, please wait in the room for a bit, okay? Once Brother Lu Chuan and I finish our private talk, you two can set off."

Afterward, she led Lu Chuan out to the courtyard.

Curious, Lu Chuan gazed at Han Qingci and asked, "What private talk do you want to have with me?"

Han Qingci embraced Lu Chuan and said, "Brother Lu Chuan, I haven’t seen you for so long, I miss you so much, I want... to kiss you."

Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment, having never expected that when Han Qingci called him out alone, it would be for this reason.

Before he could speak, Han Qingci had already tiptoed up and kissed Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan had no choice but to hold Han Qingci and respond to the kiss.

Their kiss was intense and passionate.

In the room, Yu Sisi was curious as to why Han Qingci had called Lu Chuan out alone and what she intended to do, so she sneaked to the window to peek.

Upon seeing Lu Chuan and Han Qingci kissing, she clenched her fists so tightly that she almost lost control of her power and wanted to rush out to tear the couple apart.

But in the end, she held back because Lu Chuan was not Lu Jingxing; she had no right to interfere in how many girlfriends Lu Chuan had in this life.

Nevertheless, she still cursed with a new word she had recently learned, "Scumbag!"

After that, she flung her hand and turned away from the window, refusing to watch the couple’s nauseating affection any longer.

Han Qingci kissed Lu Chuan for a long time before they reluctantly parted, and then she said with a somewhat blushing cheek, "Brother Lu Chuan, you must be very careful, next time we meet, Qingci wants..."

Lu Chuan smiled and pinched Han Qingci’s cheek, saying, "I’ll wait for my return."

Then he turned and went to the door, saying, "Miss Sisi, we can set off now."

Yu Sisi immediately walked out of the room with an extremely somber expression and even bumped Lu Chuan aside at the doorway.

Lu Chuan was confused, not understanding why she had suddenly acted this way; he even thought she was still angry at him for not choosing her in his previous life, so he didn’t think too much further.

The two of them left the Han Family Mansion together and headed in the direction of the Devil’s Cave.

Because they still needed to inquire about the Yang Restoration Stone’s whereabouts, they couldn’t fly directly there; thus, they continued asking for information as they went along.

By nighttime, they had reached another city but still had not found any news about the Yang Restoration Stone.

Lu Chuan booked a presidential suite in a five-star hotel, planning to rest for the night and continue inquiring about the stone the next day.

He chose the presidential suite precisely because it had multiple rooms, allowing him and Yu Sisi to stay in separate rooms without awkwardness.

In the deep of the night, after completing his practice session, Lu Chuan took a bath, lay on the bed, and planned to go to sleep.

He kept thinking about his past life as the Zhenguo Great General and how he eventually died for his country, which made him feel a surge of passion, marvelling that he had been such a spirited man in his previous existence.

However, from his perspective, it was true that Lu Jingxing had let down Yu Sisi, but the situation Lu Jingxing faced was a dilemma. Even for him, it would have been a very difficult choice to make.

In Lu Chuan’s view, Lu Jingxing’s final decision wasn’t really about choosing between Zhong Shuci and Yu Sisi but about choosing to defend his country. His death in battle meant that saying he hadn’t wronged Yu Sisi would be difficult.

In any case, such matters, no matter when they occurred, never had a perfect solution.

What truly felt hopeless was that these issues had no right or wrong answer.

He sighed, deciding not to think about it any longer, closed his eyes, and prepared to go to sleep.

Just then, the door to the room was pushed open, and Yu Sisi walked in wearing a thin nightgown before naturally lying down beside Lu Chuan.
