Chapter 1684 You’re Lin Qiye’s Beloved Wife, Aren’t You?
Looking at the pale-faced Jialan who kept muttering to herself, Lin Qiye sighed helplessly.
“No need to be so nervous. With me here, no one can take you away.”
“Wuwuwu… don’t talk!” Jialan was almost crying with anxiety, “Let me think… let me think… now I can only go back to find Queen Mother and see if she has a way to take out the immortality pill… if that doesn’t work, I’ll have to be made into a medicine… but that would hurt so much, might as well just die…”
Before Jialan could finish speaking, that light yellow oil paper umbrella was once again sheltering over her head, keeping the flying snow at bay.
“I said, don’t worry.” Lin Qiye, dressed in blue, spoke with absolute calmness, “Whether it’s Migo, [Key to the Door], or Queen Mother of the West… with me here, no one can hurt you, let alone turn you into medicine, understand?”
Jialan was slightly stunned.
Looking at that face so close to hers, Jialan blinked, perhaps because the image of Lin Qiye slashing Migo with his sword had left such a deep impression on her. Standing under his umbrella, she felt an inexplicable sense of security.
“Who… exactly are you? Why are you helping me?” After a moment, Jialan couldn’t help but ask.
“My name is Lin Qiye,” he answered calmly. “I’m the one who holds the umbrella for you.”
Goose feather-like snowflakes slowly drifted down from the gray sky, yet not a single flake fell into Jialan’s hair. The faint sunlight penetrated through the light yellow umbrella, like bright sunshine, pouring down on the two of them, completely isolating them from the wind and snow outside.
Jialan stared at his face, momentarily at a loss for words.
Clop, clop, clop—
Two carriages drove out from Qingshan County, trudging through the snow, heading straight toward the hill where they stood.
Seeing the two carriages, Jialan seemed to remember something.
“Are you the legendary reincarnated general, Champion Marquis?”
Of course, only the divine Champion Marquis mentioned by that old woman could possess such terrifying combat power.
“No,” Lin Qiye smiled. “I am just myself, but I do know the Champion Marquis you mentioned. He’s my… friend?”
As the two carriages stopped in front of the hill, Yan Zhong, Zhan Yuwu, Hu Jia, Gongyang Wan and others jumped down one after another. Looking at the blood-stained ground around them, their eyes filled with shock, as if unable to imagine what had happened here.
“Why did you all come?” Lin Qiye asked.
“This Marquis sensed your battle aura in the city and thought you were in trouble, so I brought them over immediately,” Huo Qubing’s voice came from inside the carriage. “It seems we arrived too late…”
“And this is…?”
Yan Zhong noticed the unfamiliar woman beside Lin Qiye and asked curiously.
“Jialan.” Lin Qiye was about to introduce her to everyone when he suddenly froze, because he didn’t know how to explain his relationship with Jialan…
Future lover? His team member? The owner of the Third King’s Ruins?
After a moment of hesitation, Jialan spoke up:
“Jialan, handmaiden of Yaochi.”
Hearing this, everyone’s faces showed shock.
Handmaiden of Yaochi?
So, she was someone from that divine dwelling place?
In human understanding, regardless of whether one was a handmaiden or something else, as long as they came from Yaochi, they were uniformly called immortals or celestial beings. And now they were meeting a living person from Yaochi.
“You’re a handmaiden of Yaochi?” Lin Qiye asked in surprise.
“Yes.”
“Then why did Queen Mother at that time…”
In Lin Qiye’s mind, he recalled when he faced the Queen Mother of the West at Kunlun Void years ago and asked her to help Jialan… her expression had seemed somewhat peculiar, and she had left without saying a word.
Perhaps something had happened between Jialan and Queen Mother before?
Lin Qiye didn’t ask further, but instead introduced everyone to Jialan one by one. Looking at this group of ridiculously powerful humans before her, Jialan was shocked…
This was completely different from the human world she had imagined!
When did the human world gain such a group of powerful individuals?
“This is great! With a Yaochi handmaiden leading the way, we should save a lot of trouble on our journey,” Zhan Yuwu’s face lit up with joy. “The horses and supplies are all ready. Shall we set off now?!”
“Set off?” Gongyang Wan sneered. She glanced at Jialan’s disheveled appearance and worn-out clothes. “What? Do you Zhenyesi people enjoy seeing others look like prisoners? Lin Qiye, aren’t you going to take her to change clothes and freshen up?”
Gongyang Wan herself had been in this unkempt state when they brought her to Chang’an, so naturally she couldn’t bear to see Jialan, a fellow woman, suffer the same.
“I was planning to do that,” Lin Qiye nodded, then turned to speak to Huo Qubing’s carriage, “Marquis, please wait a moment. We’ll be back shortly.”
“No problem.”
With that, Lin Qiye directly grabbed Jialan’s wrist and quickly headed toward Qingshan County.
Jialan, who hadn’t yet reacted, was pulled away by Lin Qiye and couldn’t help saying:
“At a time like this, why bother with such things? It’s fine if I don’t change clothes…”
“Why worry about so much? Just pick whatever you like.”
Soon after, Lin Qiye brought Jialan back to the carriages.
Seeing the heavenly beautiful young woman now wearing a deep blue Han robe, everyone was shocked and couldn’t connect her with the dirty girl from before.
They had thought Gongyang Wan’s transformation after changing clothes was dramatic enough, but Jialan’s change was even more striking.
Under everyone’s gaze, Jialan seemed a bit embarrassed. She instinctively hid behind Lin Qiye, her cheeks slightly flushed.
The clothes and hair accessories she wore were all bought by Lin Qiye. Having just started walking in the human world, she knew nothing about these things, like a doll, wearing whatever Lin Qiye bought for her.
In fact, Lin Qiye didn’t really understand how to match clothes for girls either. But as soon as he walked into that clothing shop, he saw the Han robe that Jialan wore in his memory, bought it, and picked a few pretty hair accessories… but his choices seemed to match Jialan’s taste perfectly.
When these two figures, one in blue and one in deep blue, returned to the carriages under the oil paper umbrella, everyone’s gazes became somewhat peculiar.
These two people looked so perfectly matched.
Although they all knew these two had just met for the first time, somehow, when they walked together, there was an inexplicable sense of harmony.
“It’s getting late, let’s move out.”
Huo Qubing’s voice came from the carriage, and everyone returned to their respective vehicles. Jialan, under Lin Qiye’s guidance, got into the same carriage as him.
Seeing Jialan come in, Chloe blinked and very tactfully moved aside a bit, leaving enough space between her and Lin Qiye. But unexpectedly, after Jialan politely smiled, she quietly sat in the farthest corner of the carriage.
“Um…”
As Chloe opened her mouth to say something, Jialan proactively stood up and bowed slightly to her.
“You must be Lin Qiye’s beloved wife, right? Please don’t misunderstand, I’m just traveling with him, nothing more… I’ll just sit here! I won’t disturb you two!”
