Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 267 - 265: Don’t Move! Let Me Hold You for a While (Two in One)

"So…"

"You went to conquer the Semia Abyss for it?"

Lin Yue held a gorgeously decorated glass bottle in her hands, gazing steadily at the boy in front of her as she spoke softly.

The liquid flowing inside the bottle shimmered with a brilliant glow, casting the girl's face—which was still pale from her recent injury—in a captivating light.

"Uh-huh," Qin Chuan looked at Lin Yue, whose face was identical to Yue Li's, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face, "Before today, I always thought I wouldn't have the chance to use it."

"Drink it."

Lin Yue's gaze shifted from the boy to the glass bottle in her hand, as lines of text emerged before her eyes.

[Red] Disease Cleansing Spirit Water: One of the nine Main Priests of the Moon Spirit Clan, Blue Moon Chief Priest·Klay's powerful spirit water, with the miraculous effect of curing all diseases, those who drink the Disease Cleansing Spirit Water will gain permanent benefits: longevity, with a 50% increase in life cap.]

Cure all diseases, huh…

Lin Yue's eyes slightly drooped as she removed the bottle stopper and without hesitation, drained the spirit water in one gulp.

Bright light sparkled on Lin Yue's body, as if a mysterious power was swiftly at work, eradicating all the diseases within her body from the root.

Watching this scene, a relaxed smile appeared on Qin Chuan's face.

Although Klary's Gift was only of blue quality, both the Abyss Undying Grass and the Abyss Demon Blood Fruit were merely of purple quality, the final product, the Abyss Red Blood Marrow, was of red quality.

And even among the red, it was from the batch of extremely high quality.

Therefore, the Disease Cleansing Potion that was ultimately produced was also of red quality.

The preparation of the Disease Cleansing Spirit Water didn't require him to exert much effort; all he needed to do was to gather the four items together, and they would naturally merge to form the Disease Cleansing Spirit Water he needed.

And there was more than one bottle produced at a time.

He had obtained two bottles of such Disease Cleansing Spirit Water in total.

Although he had no diseases needing a cure, considering the permanent benefits that came with it, Qin Chuan decided to use the remaining bottle for himself.

Besides, having seen the item description for the Disease Cleansing Spirit Water, Qin Chuan had realized a problem he hadn't noticed before.

Klary, as the Moon Spirit he encountered at the end of his first B-rank instance Milian Demon Forest, was no simple being.

A character that served as a clue within a B-rank instance had a potion formula that required one to conquer the entire Semia Abyss to obtain all the ingredients needed for preparation.

One of the nine Main Priests of the Moon Spirit Clan, Blue Moon Chief Priest·Klary.

That was the true identity of the other party.

If nothing out of the ordinary happened, this was likely a being of Mythical Rank.

Qin Chuan had no knowledge of why the other party was in the Milian Demon Forest, but regardless, he had taken note of this favor.

Pushing down the thoughts in his mind, Qin Chuan stared at the girl in front of him, bathed in light, his expression growing increasingly complex.

In truth, he should have noticed the subtle, familiar sensation about her sooner.

But Lin Yue had repeatedly told him before the college entrance exam that she was going to Yue Mountain University, and he had never considered the possibility that she might be at Yan University.

It was only when he picked up Zheng Xiaoyu's call and heard Zheng Xiaoyu mention that Daile had found Lin Yue at Yan University that the doubts he'd never noticed before resurfaced in his mind, and Qin Chuan realized what he had nearly missed.

The girl he'd been longing for in his dreams had always been by his side.

The light slowly dissipated, and Lin Yue's complexion visibly flushed with health as she slowly opened her eyes, her face full of apprehension before she cautiously swung her legs over the side of the bed.

"Take it easy, take it easy."

Coming back to his senses, Qin Chuan quickly stood up, extending his arms to hover protectively at either side of Lin Yue's body.

Not until Lin Yue had managed to stand firm and walked a few steps as any normal person would did he breathe a sigh of relief. He was about to lower his arms when Lin Yue caught them, and then wrapped them around her lower back.

Lin Yue turned to face him, closing the distance until they could feel each other's breath.

It was their second time being this close.

The first was an accident; this time it was the girl's initiative.

Qin Chuan's body suddenly tensed, even his breath seemed to stall.

Looking into the girl's reddened eyes, he didn't know how to respond.

In the next instant, he just felt a slender and soft body throwing itself into his arms, her arms looped under his and tightly wrapped around him from behind.

Lin Yue's cheek pressed tight against his shoulder, her breath tickling his collarbone with a slightly itchy sensation that caused Qin Chuan to involuntarily shift.

The next moment, a muffled, tearful voice came from Lin Yue.

"Don't move!"

"Let me… hold you for a while."

"…Okay." Feeling the dampness on his shoulder and the slight trembling of the girl's body, Qin Chuan lowered his gaze, keeping his hands wrapped around her waist, motionless.

In the suddenly silent hospital room, there were only the occasional faint sobs.

After a while, Lin Yue emerged from the emotional outburst.

Remembering what she had just done, Lin Yue felt her cheeks heat up, but she didn't want to let go of the embrace—not only because it gave her an indescribable warmth, but also because her just tear-streaked face must be unsightly.

"Tell me about your adventure conquering the Semia Abyss, okay?"

"Alright." Qin Chuan nodded, starting to recount the tale.

As he spoke, his voice gradually lowered.

Because he noticed that with each word he spoke, the girl in his arms held him tighter.
