My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 115 - 108: Divine Spring and the Homeless Han

Chapter 115: Chapter 108: Divine Spring and the Homeless Han

Late May.

The day of departure.

The airport.

Chen Lusi looked curiously at Xia Yue: "I thought you would fly over."

"I’d be exhausted."

Xia Yue chuckled at the remark: "Besides, it’s not urgent... ignoring modern tools sounds really dumb."

"..."

Chen Lusi fell silent for a moment.

Xia Yue thought of something, smiling and asked, "Did you confuse me with Xia Panqiu?"

"A little."

Hesitating momentarily, Chen Lusi ultimately decided to speak the truth.

No choice.

The impression Xia Panqiu left over the past few days was too deep.

She seemed naive, somewhat clumsy.

Didn’t know how to give up, single-minded, liked to tease Wu You.

... Until yesterday, she was still stubbornly practicing ’First Line’ with that massive Horse-Cutting Saber.

That’s his third-phase impression of Xia Panqiu.

By the way.

The first phase was simply clumsy, the second phase awkward.

"That’s her true self."

Xia Yue didn’t mind; he just laughed aloud: "Actually, the recent Xia Panqiu was the odd one, overly awkward, all eyes on you... Of course, if you truly can’t stand it, you can try talking to her."

Chen Lusi: "...Better not, though she’s naive now, she’s actually quite endearing."

This isn’t just lip service.

Without the psychological burden, Xia Panqiu might seem clumsy, but it’s indeed more pleasant to interact with her.

"That’s nice."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yue took a closer look at Chen Lusi, didn’t say much else, but leaned back on the chair and sighed: "But girls are troublesome... a new face every day, just the thought feels troublesome."

Chen Lusi didn’t respond.

He understood that a long time ago...

He directly changed the subject, asking: "Where are we heading next?"

"First to Kunlun."

Xia Yue glanced at the boarding sign: "Golmud City."

"Got it."

Chen Lusi nodded, then fell silent.

Sitting in the chair.

He couldn’t help but recall Lin Ying, who should be at work now, as well as Xia Panqiu, Wu You, and Si Yujie, who should all be at the company.

Neither Lin Ying nor Xia Panqiu, Wu You, followed this time.

Honestly, it’s quite unsettling...

Just as this thought emerged, Chen Lusi froze.

He could still understand Lin Ying’s case.

But why think of Si Yujie and others?

Chen Lusi showed a puzzled expression.

... Maybe this is camaraderie?

Probably.

Just hope they’re doing well...

But before he could think further.

Xia Yue stood up and called him to board.

Chen Lusi snapped back to reality and followed suit.

But as soon as he stood up.

Chen Lusi suddenly felt... as if he had forgotten something but couldn’t recall what it was.

Never mind.

He hesitated for a moment, pushed away unnecessary thoughts, and didn’t think further.

Instead, he officially embarked on the journey to Kunlun.

...

At the same time.

Lin Ying wasn’t working diligently as Chen Lusi expected.

Not only was she not diligent, but she was skipping work.

In fact, after efforts during this period, most witnesses in the city had lost their memories.

Only sporadic cases remained to investigate.

But today Lin Ying wasn’t focused on investigation, even somewhat impatient, so she used Verbal Control on colleagues, handed over the work and returned home alone.

She gently pushed open the door.

Lin Ying took off her shoes and walked barefoot into the house.

Inside, it was quiet as can be.

Traces of another person’s life remained, but he wouldn’t be back on time this evening.

"..."

Thinking of this.

Lin Ying let down her silky hair, tugged gently on the hair tie with her slender, fair fingers, pursed her glossy red lips, feeling more impatient.

She straightened her waist, took a deep breath, then sat by the sofa, lifted her fair, round thighs, held them lightly, and rested her fair chin on her knee.

Suddenly.

Her peripheral vision caught sight of the white paper on the table.

Paper that had been sitting there, with nothing written on it.

"..."

Lin Ying noticed the white paper, laid down her smooth legs, then picked up the paper, gave it a gentle shake, softly murmuring to herself: "This isn’t what was agreed."

...

After nearly five hours of flight.

Chen Lusi finally reached the destination.

Upon disembarking the plane, he finally remembered what he had forgotten.

He forgot to choose a name...

Having no good ideas, he had delayed it again and again until now.

Thinking this.

He couldn’t help but glance back.

Of course, there was no little girl in a white dress behind him.

But for some reason, he felt like he could sense the little girl’s dark eyes.

"What’s wrong?"

Xia Yue noticed Chen Lusi’s odd behavior and asked.

"Nothing."

Chen Lusi shook his head, Xia Yue didn’t even know what happened, probably just an illusion.

Next, he’ll have to think carefully... what name to give the little girl.

Xia Yue, hearing this, didn’t ask further and just led him to catch the bus.

Nothing much to say in between.

It was actually Chen Lusi’s first time in the heartlands of the plateau.

And the summer here is indeed pleasant... strong sunshine, cool winters and summers, even in summer, it’s not too hot, rather comfortable.

Today’s highest temperature is just nineteen degrees, wearing a thin coat felt just right.

For Chen Lusi, who just came from the southern heat, it was practically paradise.

And the scenery along the way was quite spectacular...

Chen Lusi gazed out the window, observing the unfamiliar scenery, a little lost.

By the time he returned to his senses.

Kunlun Pass was already in sight.

Chen Lusi turned his gaze away, then followed Xia Yue and got off the bus to start walking.

The two of them took their time, walking forward, crossed the famous highway, and quickly arrived at the destination.

In the vast Gobi desert.

In the distance.

An octagonal pavilion stood.

This was probably the famous Nachi Platform, but whether it was the awkward timing or this scenic spot was remote.

In any case, tourists here aren’t many.

Quite a few drivers were seen carrying water back.

Chen Lusi observed the surroundings, brushed past the drivers, and walked into the main pavilion.

Inside the pavilion.

In the center was a pool platform made of granite slabs with a polygonal design, and facing the pool platform stood a stone tablet engraved with the words "Kunlun Divine Spring."

Chen Lusi surveyed the area, then approached the pool platform.

Inside the pool, clear spring water gushed out from the ground, forming a shimmering mushroom flower.

It looked exceptionally clean and cool.

However... looking beyond the spring water, you could clearly see the bottom, seemingly clear but actually piled with coins.

"Hey, young man over there, don’t throw money, don’t throw money!... Oh, you people are just too superstitious!"

A hoarse voice suddenly came, sounding a bit urgent.

Chen Lusi glanced back, discovering an old man briskly striding towards him.

His clothes were ragged, hair messy, face filthy, dragging a snakeskin bag behind him.

As he moved.

The bag made the clinking sound of bottles colliding.

Chen Lusi wanted to explain as he watched the old man.

"Old Chai, long time no see."

But Xia Yue intercepted him, standing in front and greeted proactively, waving to the other.

"..."

The formerly brisk old man abruptly halted, slowly easing his pace, shifting his gaze from Chen Lusi to Xia Yue: "...Ah Yue?"
