Oh My God? Raiden Mei! / Poor Lin Shuang, Wrapped Around Acheron's Little Finger
The atmosphere at the tea party with Danshu gradually eased after the Bailu came up, and the subject of the Abundant Doses was not brought up again.
Later, when they talked about the Medicinal Tea recipe they got from Fu Xuan, the two of them went to the Alchemy Commission on their way.
After purchasing the medicinal herbs, Lin Shuang bid farewell to Danshu and left.
Danshu heard Lin Shuang's footsteps fade into the distance, then stood there, lost in thought.
We need to send someone to contact Lin Shuang to find out her purpose and verify whether she truly possesses Stellaron.
As for Lin Shuang...
After leaving, I didn't think much about it; my mind was filled with what Acheron was planning to do.
After consuming the Coiling Dragon, Leaping Serpent that he had won in the lottery, he took the medicinal herbs and went straight home.
Throughout the journey, Lin Shuang didn't sense where the so-called power of path of The Permanence was, and even thought she had just eaten a candy.
I'm home.
Lin Shuang nervously found Acheron, only to discover that she had inexplicably gone into the kitchen.
"Acheron? I'm back! I've prepared all the ingredients for the Medicinal Tea, are you...?"
As soon as Lin Shuang pushed open the kitchen door and entered, her voice abruptly stopped.
Because Acheron was actually wearing an apron, had her hair in a ponytail, and was cooking!!
Hearing the noise, Acheron turned around.
The rather thin pajamas were almost completely covered by the apron, revealing her delicate legs, shoulders, and arms, which looked like a very alluring outfit!
Quite captivating.
Volume 1: Chapter 99 My God? Raiden Gepard!
Wearing Acheron apron and with her hair in a ponytail, revealing the back of her neck, Huang Quan turned her head to look at Lin Shuang, exuding a gentle and graceful temperament.
"Welcome back! But why so early? I was thinking of making myself something to try, something I haven't done in a while. Would you like to try?"
Acheron held up the cleaver and gestured towards the unfinished dish.
"... OK."
Lin Shuang had to admit that she almost blurted out "Raiden Gepard" just now.
After all, who knows what Acheron's real name is?
"Perfect timing to drink the sugar water."
Lin Shuang raised what she was holding and smiled at Acheron.
After quickly changing her clothes, she squeezed into the kitchen and stood next to Acheron.
While recalling the production process he had seen from Fu Xuan during the day, he began to work.
However, the preparation of the Medicinal Tea was relatively simple. As Lin Shuang made it, her gaze involuntarily drifted towards the direction of Acheron.
Watching her somewhat clumsy way of holding the knife, her use of kitchen utensils, and the ingredients that were prepared so beautifully.
For a moment, Lin Shuang couldn't tell whether this person knew how to cook or not.
"Acheron, you... can cook?"
"... Hmm, I learned that a long time ago. I still remember some of it."
Acheron paused for a moment. In fact, she couldn't even remember when or from whom she had learned it.
I only vaguely remember how to make it and how to adjust the flavor.
For a long time, Acheron had only one requirement for food: it just had to be cooked.
Taste? What is that? I can't taste it at all.
So Acheron originally didn't intend to do it himself.
Earlier, Lin Shuang sent her a message saying that she had ordered dessert for herself and would also make her some delicious Medicinal Tea.
Although the flavors vary, it's not necessarily true that one is better or worse.
But the act of 'doing it by hand' itself carries a special meaning.
To make the other person like it, or simply to ensure they eat a particular dish, one might personally prepare it.
Moreover, Lin Shuang even naturally wanted to share what she thought was good with Acheron.
This sentiment is what truly moves Acheron.
So Acheron, who was rather clumsy in this regard, couldn't think of any good methods for the time being, so he had no choice but to try making something like Lin Shuang.
And because it had been so long since I'd seriously seasoned it.
Acheron felt he should try it himself first.
At least she was self-aware; Acheron herself could eat almost anything, but Lin Shuang wasn't. Lin Shuang's tastes were more similar to those of the Xianzhou native.
Of course, Acheron didn't expect Lin Shuang to return earlier than she anticipated.
Lin Shuang carefully observed Acheron's movements from the side.
The whole process went smoothly.
But it was clear that Acheron hesitated when it came to the seasoning stage.
"How long ago exactly? What made you suddenly decide to make this yourself?"
Lin Shuang watched Acheron carefully try it out and asked with a smile.
Acheron didn't even turn his head and said directly:
"I can't remember. Time is hard for me to perceive through Remembrance. As for why I wanted to do it... it was just to return the favor."
A return gift?
Lin Shuang was taken aback, then looked at the half-finished Medicinal Tea in her hand.
That's why sincerity is the ultimate weapon.
She simply wanted to share the delicious dessert with Acheron. She didn't have any ulterior motives.
So Acheron really cares that much?
They even prepared return gifts...
For a moment, Lin Shuang didn't know whether to be flattered or to lament the 'heavy' nature of Acheron's feelings.
"Then I'll look forward to it."
Lin Shuang smiled and replied, but Acheron shook his head and said:
It's best not to get your hopes up this time.
The final product Acheron created actually looked pretty good.
The flavor is indeed quite off.
She ate it without batting an eye, but Lin Shuang only realized how much she had seasoned it after taking a bite.
Fortunately, Lin Shuang's Medicinal Tea was a success.
In the end, Lin Shuang disposed of what Acheron had created.
Although she herself seemed not to care at all, and took two big bites without any hesitation.
But Lin Shuang knew that this person was simply tasting a certain 'flavor,' not enjoying the 'deliciousness.'
"Although I did say I'd try more flavors with you... there's no need to force yourself to eat something that won't make you happy."
Lin Shuang placed the plate in the sink, looking at Acheron beside her with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
Acheron, holding the sweet soup, looked down at the dishes being dumped into the trash can, and even seemed a little regretful.
"Stop looking. If you really want to do it, you can do it another time."
Hearing Lin Shuang's advice, Acheron nodded and took a sip of the sugar water.
She wasn't regretting the dish itself, but rather lamenting that her cooking skills seemed far worse than she had expected.
It will probably take some time before we can recreate a flavor that Lin Shuang finds acceptable.
After all, Acheron herself was well aware that her sense of taste was still at the stage where she could eat anything.
All I can say is that we still need to work harder.
After finishing his tea, Acheron Quan looked at Lin Shuang, who had already washed the plate.
With a gentle lift of her hand, the massive knife fell into her grasp.
Lin Shuang had just put the plate down when she turned around and was startled.
"What are you trying to do...?"
She looked at Acheron, who had suddenly picked up a knife, and felt uneasy.
Lin Shuang had almost forgotten, after her pleasant cooking experience, that this person seemed to have some kind of plan.
Acheron remained silent, instead gently gripping the hilt of the knife.
Clang--
The long sword was drawn halfway from its sheath.
The overwhelming aura made Lin Shuang gasp for breath, but she quickly subsided.
Acheron's hair color faded rapidly to gray-white in front of Lin Shuang.
A fading world gradually enveloped Lin Shuang.
In this gray and faded world, crimson eyes came into Lin Shuang 'Lin Shuang vision and quickly occupied all of her consciousness.
Compared to the Acheron on ordinary days.
At this moment, the Acheron is even more peaceful and sorrowful.
His crimson eyes were overflowing with loneliness.
The power of The Nihility gradually permeated Lin Shuang's body as the Acheron approached.
Tick-tock--
Blood-red tears slid down her cheeks and landed right on Lin Shuang's lips.
"It's not that I don't want to tell you... it's just that that black sun pierced through my entire being. Do you really want to know?"
Acheron lowered his eyes, gently bent down, and quietly licked away the blood and tears that had dripped onto Lin Shuang's face.
His free arm blocked Lin Shuang's escape route, trapping her in the small space in front of him.
"Of course... I was a little unhappy to see you being so close to other people."
An ambiguous yet dangerous atmosphere emanated from Acheron's upturned lips.
They gradually eroded Lin Shuang's life.
Volume 1: Chapter 100 Poor Lin Shuang, manipulated by Acheron
After drawing her longsword and regaining full control, Acheron appeared somewhat unfamiliar to Lin Shuang.
But subtly, in Lin Shuang's view, the current Acheron, in its negative aspects, possesses a kind of 'vibrant life amidst sorrow' that is more pronounced than the usual Acheron.
When Lin Shuang thought of this inexplicable adjective, she almost laughed, but when she faced the White-Haired Form, crimson eyes of Acheron, she couldn't laugh.
"... You really didn't sleep last night!"
Stubborn Lin Shuang tried to regain the initiative, but the White-Haired Form Acheron merely curled the corners of his mouth and said:
"Sleep doesn't impair my perception of my surroundings, but your alertness is still too weak, so this is also a form of training for you."
"..."
