Forsaken Immortals

Bai Rouyun was unaware of the fear that had gripped Qin Huiling's heart, and she just nodded her head absentmindedly.

"He is a following my husband quite often, and he has been tasked with protecting me, but it is not possible to bring him into the institute with me."

Qin Huiling could not help but nod her head, feeling slightly at ease when she heard that Mo Chu was not going to enter the actual institute.

She was not sure why, but Bai Rouyun gave her a comfortable feeling. Being close to her was enjoyable. She felt as if the energy in her body was running faster than it was before, and her absorption speed also increased.

These feelings made her feel unexplainably close to Bai Rouyun. It was all a subconscious thing, and she was not even aware of the fact. She just wanted to spend her time alongside Bai Rouyun and get to know her better.

A room was prepared in the mansion, and Bai Rouyun took Qin Huiling to the rooms, placed her in the room, and said that she would fetch her when it was time for dinner.

Bai Rouyun left Qin Huiling at the room and went hunting down Little Chu. She had decided on her own to let Qin Huiling stay in their mansion, so she needed to pacify him.

"Madam," Little Chu called out when he saw Bai Rouyun and smiled slightly. Bai Rouyun had a habit of picking up people. She was very gentle and welcoming towards those in need, and while it could end up biting her, Little Chu felt that it was an admirable trait that she had.

Not everyone who had experienced what she had would be able to keep their gentleness so that they could help others. Many who experienced a hunt like hers would end up hating the world and wishing for nothing more than to harm anyone who got their way.

Not to mention, Little Chu had read up on the original Bai Rouyun's life. He knew that she had been abandoned twice before, once when she was a baby to the orphanage and another time when her master did not want her any longer.

Even though she was abandoned twice, she was not hateful towards the world. Instead, she was much more soft and gentle, wanting to stop others to/from experiencing a misfortune like her previous life.

Fortunately, Bai Rouyun had a sense of proportion. Although she did not know Qin Huiling's personality all that well, she could not summon any winds or rains in their mansion, as her strength was so weak that Little Chu could pinch her to death with a single movement.

"Little Chu, please forgive me for being so impulsive," Bai Rouyun said as she looked at Mo Chu with her big doe-like eyes blinking and her face displaying the expression of utter obedience.

Seeing her looking like the most obedient woman, Little Chu shivered. It was the same as seeing a ferocious tiger pretend to be a house cat. The expression did not suit Bai Rouyun at all.

"It is fine," Mo Chu said stiffly as he smiled at her, but his smile was uglier than when he was crying, and Bai Rouyun could not help but grin. He was simply too cute to tease. Although he was much stronger than her, he was at such a loss of how to handle her.

This woman was his master's wife, the madam of their house, and he could not force her to do anything. In fact, he had to support her in everything she wanted to do.

Bai Rouyun saw that Little Chu was not angry at her, and she smiled happily. Her eyes turned into crescent moons, and she suddenly clapped her hands.

"Well then, let us get Qin Huiling here so that we can have a celebration feast. Not only where I admitted to the institute, Qin Huiling was too, this is a double joy, so we need the most abundant feast tonight. And we should see if we can find some drinks too."

Little Chu was suddenly slightly nervous. Drinks? As in wine? Could she even hold her liquor?

Bai Rouyun was not sure if she could drink liquor, but she felt like drinking wine that night, and since she had made her decision, Little Chu had no other option than to ask the servants to fetch some wine.

Not long after, the delicious scent of a heavenly feast wafted through the entire mansion, and Bai Rouyun went to get Qin Huiling.

"I asked Little Chu to get us some wine," Bai Rouyun said with a cheeky smile on her face. "We have so much to celebrate, so let us get drunk tonight!"

Qin Huiling looked at Bai Rouyun's happy face and narrowed her eyes, but a gentle smile flitted across her lips.

"I never have drunk alcohol before," she said honestly. "But I do not mind trying it out. With a friend and good food, wine should be extra delicious."

Bai Rouyun felt as if she had found a kindred spirit, and her lips were turned upwards in a grin.

"Let us go to the dining hall!" she said excitedly, and Qin Huiling intimately grabbed her hand, and the two of them moved towards the dining hall hand in hand. They resembled two bosom friends who had grown up by each other's side, and without being able to control it, they truly felt as if they had been friends for years already.

When Little Chu came back, he found that the two women were seated in the dining hall, chatting about their lives and the experiences they had gone through up until now. Their eyes sparkled with life, and their happiness was clear to all.
