Drink It All in One Go

"So, what you said about marrying me, was it a lie?"

Bai Qianluo raised her head, her eyes darting towards Jiang Lin.

Under the gaze of those clear eyes, Jiang Lin panicked...

Is it finally time for me to fill the hole I dug for myself ten thousand years ago?

To be honest, if it were before, if such a beautiful girl said she wanted him to marry her, and she was also Nine-tailed Sky Fox who was halfway to Ascension, Jiang Lin probably would have agreed without even thinking about it.

but...

The situation is ultimately different.

He is Jiang Shi, yet he is not Jiang Shi. Although Senior Bai likes him, he ultimately has no memories of Jiang Shi.

In Jiang Lin's view, he always regarded Bai Qianluo as an older sister, a friend, someone he found very comfortable to talk to, and never as a woman.

This was true before, and it is true now.

If I were to accept Senior Bai's affections so readily, how would I be any different from those scumbags who only lust after other people's bodies?

Although I might say I'm a total jerk.

But Jiang Lin felt he was a scumbag who had choices.

Jiang Lin felt he shouldn't do it, and wouldn't do it.

"Senior Bai..."

"Okay, I was just kidding. Look how nervous you are."

Bai Qianluo left Jiang Lin's embrace and gently tapped Jiang Lin's forehead with her fair fingers.

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. You are Jiang Shi, but you are not him. You don't need to change anything because of me. Just be yourself."

Bai Qianluo smiled, her eyes crinkling, a smile so pure, yet so heartbreaking.

That gentle smile was like a soft knife piercing Jiang Lin's heart.

"Alright, let's go, we'll reach the Array Core."

Bai Qianluo turned around playfully, her hands clasped tightly behind her back, her tone still light and cheerful.

Is it really possible?

Just as Bai Qianluo took two steps forward, a voice slowly came from behind her.

"What did you say, Jiang Xiaozi...?"

When Bai Qianluo turned around, Jiang Lin stood directly in front of her, his eyes gleaming with a faint Bai Qianluo light.

A woman dressed in a plain white, loose-fitting long dress stood beside Jiang Lin. This was Xiang Rong's soul clone, and also her ability as a half-step Ascension.

"Xiao Rong... when...?"

Looking at the faceless woman clinging to Jiang Lin, Bai Qianluo bit her lip lightly.

"While you were crying in his arms."

"Jiang Lin" spoke slowly, but it was Xiang Rong's voice.

"I can control him for half an incense stick's time," Xiang Rong said calmly, her gaze fixed on Jiang Lin. "You still have one chance to use the Helplessness Forget Water I gave you on him. You... really don't want to use it? After half an incense stick's time, this wisp of my Divine Sense will dissipate."

Jiang Lin slowly raised his hand, in which was a clear, glass potion bottle, inside which the Helplessness Forget Water emitted a faint blue light.

But Bai Qianluo was still hesitant.

Xiang Rong controlled Jiang Lin to slowly open the bottle cap, and then raised his hand to his mouth as if in slow motion, but "his" gaze remained fixed on Bai Qianluo.

"Xiang Rong! Stop!"

Just as Jiang Lin's lips touched the bottle's mouth, and the bottle was about to tilt, Bai Qianluo shouted, her voice echoing throughout the sword cave.

"Why?"

Xiang Rong put down the glass bottle and tilted her head to look at Bai Qianluo.

"You've searched for ten thousand years. Even if you're at the Ascension Realm, how many ten thousand years can you have? What you're hoping for is simply to find him and spend your life with him, isn't it?"

Now, this opportunity is right in front of you.

Qianluo, you know my abilities.

If this man drinks the Helplessness Forget Water, he will be able to remember you from ten thousand years ago.

Then I will erase his memories of the past twenty years, and then he will be Jiang Shi, and the person he loves will be you! He will only love you.

this.

Isn't this what Qianluo wanted?

In front of Xiang Rong, Bai Qianluo still clenched her fists tightly. In her eyes, there was deep entanglement and greed caused by possessiveness.

Yes.

Xiangrong is right.

Although Little Lin is at the Nascent Soul stage, his Bone Age is only in his early twenties. As long as he wants to do it, with the help of Helplessness Forget Water, when he awakens again, he will be Xiao Shi.

It's the Xiao Shi I've been searching for.

He promised to marry his Xiao Shi...

"In that case, I'll make the decision for you."

Seeing Bai Qianluo's conflicted expression, Xiangrong shook her head and raised her hand to stop Jiang Lin from drinking the Helplessness Forget Water again.

But just as the glass bottle was tilted and the liquid inside was about to be slowly poured into his mouth, a snow-white fox tail stretched out from behind the woman and tightly wrapped around "Jiang Lin's" arm.

Helplessness Forget Water had already condensed at the mouth of the bottle, but not a single drop could flow forward.

"No."

Finally, Bai Qianluo raised her head and looked at "Jiang Lin" (Xiang Rong).

"I miss him terribly, and I desperately want him to remember me, but I won't resort to such methods! I don't want him to hate me, and I won't try to possess him through such means!"

Looking at Xiang Rong, Bai Qianluo Bai Qianluo the strong possessiveness characteristic of the fox clan in matters of love, but in the end, she made her choice.

"Is this your answer?"

Xiang Rong tilted her head and looked at Bai Qianluo, her voice a mix of laughter and a hint of mockery.

"Qianluo, you'll regret it. Liking something like this is something you can't let go of."

Beside Jiang Lin, Xiang Rong's figure gradually blurred, and her voice gradually faded away.

"Don't come looking for me with a crying face next time."

Finally, Xiangrong's voice slowly disappeared into the sword cave.

In front of Bai Qianluo, Jiang Lin's slightly pale eyes gradually returned to their original color.

"Bai Qian... Qianluo..."

Looking at the woman in front of him, and then at the fluffy, snow-white fox tail tied to his hand, Jiang Lin asked in confusion.

"It's alright, you were just attacked by sword energy. Come on, give me what you have."

Bai Qianluo said You You, even though she was forcing a smile, there were still traces of tears in the corners of her eyes.

"But Qianluo, your tail is tied to me, so I can't give it to you."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Jiang Lin smiled.

"Oh..."

Bai Qianluo retracted her fluffy, snow-white fox tail.

Just as Bai Qianluo retracted her fox tail, Jiang Lin's voice slowly drifted over. "So this is the Helplessness Forget Water. It's the first time I've seen it."

"River!"

The woman's eyes widened upon hearing Jiang Lin's voice.

Just as she raised her head, before she could stop him, Jiang Lin had already raised the Helplessness Forget Water in his hand and drunk it all in one gulp.
