Fast Travel: After turning into an animal, the villain asked me to be his wife

Chapter 873: Villain Immortal Son-in-law X Unable to Transform into a Demonic Little Fox 73

After this battle, Xie Linyuan's reputation soared in the cultivation world, but at the same time, the old wounds on his body seemed to erupt as if after the matter was completely over.

That day, after he woke up, Yu Zhen knew that his body was already riddled with holes.

If it weren't for his strong desire to live, perhaps...

The words the healer had said still seemed to echo in his ears.

Yu Zhen pushed open the door with the medicine in her hand, and immediately saw him sitting up. Compared to his previous all-black attire, he was now wearing a clean white nightgown. Against the white backdrop, his face looked much softer, like a young man who had not yet suffered the vicissitudes of fate.

He was looking out the window at the scenery, where a pear tree was in full bloom.

Hearing the voice, he turned his head, the deep hatred in his eyes vanished without a trace, leaving only the clarity after the ice melted, and said, "The sun is shining brightly today, and the pear blossoms outside the window look especially pure and beautiful."

Yu Zhen walked to his side and placed the tray on the low stool beside the bed.

She sat down on the edge of the bed, raised her hand to hold the medicine bowl, and handed it to him: "If you think it looks nice, go out and take a look later. Now drink your medicine first."

Xie Linyuan pursed his lips, looked away from the medicine bowl, and said, "...I don't really want to drink it."

Yu Zhen pretended not to hear, scooped up a spoonful of water and held it to his lips: "Drink."

"Alright..." Xie Linyuan curled his lips and drank a spoonful of bitter medicine following her hand.

Seeing his slightly furrowed brows, Yu Zhen couldn't help but ask, "Is it very bitter?"

“A little,” he said, taking the bowl of medicine from Yu Zhen’s hand, “so it’s better to drink it all at once.”

Beneath the snow-white sleeves were overly thin wrists.

He took the bowl, raised his head slightly, and slowly and calmly drank the whole bowl.

He then slowly exhaled, smiled, and placed the bowl on the tray: "I drank it, are you relieved now?"

Seeing Yu Zhen's furrowed brows, he couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, I can live for many more years, I just don't know about now..."

He didn't say anything, probably because he didn't want to drag Yu Zhen down with him.

After taking his revenge, his old ailments and the irreversible strain on his body from cultivating the ancient scrolls all came back to haunt him.

It was the best possible outcome for him to be alive. Although he had only a hundred years left to live, he was already content.

only……

I just can't let Zhenzhen be a burden.

He sighed, looking at her gently: "Zhenzhen, our marriage..."

He closed his eyes briefly, his long eyelashes trembling slightly: "Let it go..."

"No."

Yu Zhen shook her head decisively. Her eyes were still as pure as ever, but she was starting to get angry: "Xie Linyuan, are you playing a trick on me?"

"Teasing?" Xie Linyuan was taken aback, then quickly said, "No...you know what I mean..."

How could he possibly tease her?

"You broke your promise." Yu Zhen said succinctly.

"I just……"

Xie Linyuan was getting anxious. He wanted to reach out and grab her hand, but his fingertips trembled slightly before he stopped.

He said, "I just felt... you should have had better options than..."

He didn't look at her, paused for a moment, and then said slowly, "Zhenzhen, in this long life, you should find someone... to spend your life with."

Yu Zhen looked at him and said softly, "And what about you?"

"I?"

Xie Linyuan smiled, and Yu Zhen noticed that he was always smiling now, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, leaving her feeling as if there was a void in her heart.

"I'm not important."

He said.
