Chen Nan didn't understand Ruo Lan's intentions, but he still went to her room!
As soon as he reached the door, it automatically opened, and Ruo Lan's soft voice followed, "Come in!"
Stepping inside, the door slowly closed!
A refreshing fragrance wafted towards him!
Behind a screen, the sound of splashing water could be heard!
Faintly visible, Ruo Lan was sitting in a wooden tub, taking a petal bath!
"Wait for me for a moment, and I'll answer your two questions later!" Ruo Lan's voice was gentle, with a hint of inexplicable tension!
Although the two questions Chen Nan had asked often echoed in her mind!
However, she didn't know the answers!
Chen Nan cleared his throat and asked, "Is this the method of Core Formation you mentioned?"
Ruo Lan said softly, "Compared to taking pills, absorbing the Golden Core power of others, dual cultivation is more stable!"
Chen Nan: "But have you asked for my opinion?"
"You're not exactly a gentleman, you should be overjoyed to dual cultivate with me, right?" Ruo Lan's tone carried a hint of teasing.
When they first met, Chen Nan had become a pervert, a hooligan, and a scoundrel in her heart!
Moreover, she also knew that Chen Nan had multiple confidantes!
If she hadn't wanted to form a Golden Core this time, she wouldn't have dual cultivated with Chen Nan!
"I'm indeed not a gentleman, but... forget it, you should just take the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill!" As he spoke, he placed the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill on the table and turned to leave Ruo Lan's room.
"How did this guy change his tune?" Ruo Lan couldn't accept it!
She thought Chen Nan would be very happy to dual cultivate with her!
But she never expected that after she had already started bathing, he would turn around and leave!
"You promised not to take pills, how can I show my face if you do this? How can I stand tall in the future?"
------
"Prepare something for me to eat!"
Leaving Ruo Lan's room, Chen Nan went to the kitchen and instructed the disciples there!
He wasn't hungry!
Nor did he have any desire to eat!
But his master, Wu Shan, had warned him before his death to eat on time!
Although he occasionally forgot these four words when busy, he wanted to eat something now!
To calm his mind!
"Yes, Sect Master, I'll send it to your residence shortly!"
Chen Nan turned and returned to his room!
A moment later!
A disciple from the kitchen delivered four dishes!
Two meat and two vegetables!
Besides that, there was a jar of wine!
"What, want to get drunk alone?" Ruo Lan walked over, dressed in a black long dress, her long hair tied up, with a jade hairpin of a verdant green inserted in it!
The red petal mark on her brow added a touch of beauty!
Especially that playful smile!
It was as if she was about to say, "I'm going to devour you tonight!"
Ruo Lan took out two wine bowls, poured the wine, and then said, "Come, this young lady will drink with you until we are both drunk tonight!"
Chen Nan asked, "Do you want to sleep with me?"
Ruo Lan's face turned red, not expecting Chen Nan to be so direct, but she still suppressed her inner tension, "I just want to answer your questions."
"I don't care about those two questions anymore!" Chen Nan picked up the wine bowl and downed the strong liquor in one gulp!
"Did you get possessed?" Ruo Lan's eyes were strange, she felt like Chen Nan had become a different person!
Chen Nan shook his head, exuding an air of melancholy, "I think I'm sick!"
Ruo Lan couldn't help but ask, "A heartache?"
Chen Nan: "Mmm!"
"If something is bothering you, you can tell me!" Ruo Lan subconsciously grabbed Chen Nan's hand, her eyes serious, "You've already reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment. With your talent, you might form a Golden Core any day now and trigger a Heavenly Tribulation!"
"If you have something on your mind, you must speak it out, otherwise, it will create a heart demon!"
Chen Nan looked out at the vast starry sky, "I know the harm of heart demons. You might not believe it, but I've killed my own heart demons before!"
"But this time, I don't know what to do!"
Nan Gong Wan's tragic death in his arms had grieved him for a long time!
He also felt guilty towards her!
That time!
He developed a heart demon!
But it was also because of that incident that he learned what love was!
So!
He confessed to He Shan Shan, Jian Ning, Xu Qing Xin, and others that he was a scumbag!
"But this time, I've hurt twelve innocent and vivacious girls!"
He couldn't let go of the events in Wuyang City!
Although everyone knew that those twelve girls had become martyrs!
He still lacked the courage to tell anyone about that night!
Because he couldn't forgive himself!
Ruo Lan's heart trembled, she never expected the cause to be those twelve girls, who were like flowers in bloom. She said softly, "But they don't blame you! Why do you blame yourself?"
A flicker of pain flashed in Chen Nan's eyes, "I know they don't blame me!"
"But I can't get over this hurdle in my heart!"
"I keep asking myself!"
"If I had only taken two girls that night, would the others have had to die?"
Ruo Lan pondered for a long time, "Have you considered that if you hadn't taken the ten girls, they might have wished they were dead? Or been tortured to death?"
"Although they are dead now, their sacrifice is heavier than Mount Tai!"
"And they will surely be reborn into a wealthy family in their next life!"
Chen Nan sighed, "I understand all of this, but now, whenever I think of what happened in the boudoir, I can't help but think of them, and think of what happened in Wuyang City!"
"It's not that I can't, but I fear that kind of thing!"
Ruo Lan was speechless!
She didn't know how to comfort Chen Nan!
But she knew that Chen Nan was very seriously ill this time!
If he couldn't resolve his inner turmoil, he would surely be scattered into ashes when he faced the tribulation!
"Let's drink, sleep it off, and everything will be fine!" she sighed softly, then poured wine for Chen Nan, accompanied him in eating and drinking!
Until Chen Nan was drunk and slumped over the table, a look of heartache appeared in her eyes!
Chen Nan had stirred her maternal instincts!
This guy was only twenty-three years old after all!
At such a young age, he was already bearing too much pressure and responsibility that ordinary people couldn't bear...
Just thinking about it made one's heart ache!
She picked up Chen Nan, placed him on the bed, and helped him take off his shoes and clothes!
Then...
She hesitated for a long time!
Her gaze was firm, with a hint of shyness!
She slowly shed her black long dress, wearing a red chemise and white undergarments, and lay quietly beside Chen Nan!
She knew Chen Nan was wary of that kind of thing!
But now!
She had no other option!
She wanted to use poison to fight poison for Chen Nan!
This way, it might resolve his inner turmoil!
If not, the consequences would be unimaginable!
The next day!
When Chen Nan opened his eyes, he jolted violently!
Ruo Lan was nestled in his arms, her petite body looking alluring!
This wasn't all!
Her hand was placed on his heirloom!
Of course!
What shocked him the most was that his heirloom had developed fighting spirit!
