Lady Lin’s First-ever Journey to Immortality

Chapter 286 A Green Vine Entwining the Acacia Tree

Lin Luoran pays all her attention to Yang Lisha's facial expressions and doesn't want to let go of any emotion. It seems that Yang Lisha's facial expressions become weird after listening to Lin Luoran's words. She wants to laugh, but she makes great efforts to hold it back.

Her dimples show up again, "I don't know what you're talking about."

What a perfect yet ignorant face! Li Xi'er hides in the dark and doesn't understand what Lin Luoran says. Lin's villa is very quiet tonight. There is no sound except for Lin Luoran and Yang Lisha's voices. Why do Mr. Lin and Yuan Ye sleep like logs tonight?

Lin Luoran doesn't want to force her and pours her another cup of tea, "Should I call you Miss Yang or Master Yang?" It's strange that Lin Luoran can't see Yang Lisha's personal abilities even with the identifying eyes. Lin Luoran thinks she is reckless to irritate a woman whose personal abilities are so powerful that even her cleared eyes can't see.

"You don't look like a cultivator. Maybe you are something else?" Lin Luoran whispers to herself. Yang Lisha is covered with various scents of flowers and plants. The combination smells delightful, but Lin Luoran thinks there's another special scent that she is very familiar with.

Yang Lisha takes the bamboo tube on the table with one hand, "It's getting late. I won't bother you anymore. I'll bring the flowers you ordered next time I come."

Lin Luoran doesn't prevent Yang Lisha from taking the Reiki-devouring bug away with her.

However, Yang Lisha stops and turns around with a smile, "You just let me go like this?"

"If I were you, I would go a little faster. A lot of people cast greedy eyes on your Acacia tree which has abundant Reiki."

Yang Lisha is shocked by her words and can't control her facial expressions any longer. "How dare you!" She knows Lin Luoran is not interested in the interstellar transmission circle at all. She is after her Acacia tree, isn't she? Yang Lisha jumps onto the wall gently, like a leaf blown by the wind. At this moment, she is not the amiable girl that Lin Luoran saw in the flower shop anymore. She turns into a goddess.

"You seem to value that tree a lot. It's weird for you to let it be contaminated by turbid air in this earthly world." Lin Luoran seems to be talking to herself. The woman who stands on top of the wall pauses for a while then disappears in no time.

Lin Luoran takes out her mobile phone hidden in her left hand under the table and immediately presses a key to call a number she already set on her phone.

In the backyard of the flower shop, Yuan Ye's phone buzzes. He says to Mr. Lin, who is still eager to get the Acacia tree, "She's back, great grandmaster. We need to go, now!"

Mr. Lin quickly breaks off a small branch and hides it in his arms and jumps out of the wall with Yuan Ye. Vines on the wall suddenly grow and try to entangle them. Yuan Ye sets fire to burn them. Vines are afraid of the fire and withdraw. Yuan Ye and Mr. Lin drove separately to the shop, so they run away in two directions as well.

After passing through the barbecue stand in the snack street, the two cultivators also smell like grilled meat. Who says the mortal world is useless? If it weren't for the bustling snack street, they couldn't have escaped that easily from the flower shop.

Mr. Lin and Yuan Ye meet Lin Luoran in the backyard after their exciting adventure. The branch that Mr. Lin broke carries two flower buds. Lin Luoran can't find anything wrong except that the amount of Reiki around rises to an abnormal level.

Has she been thinking too much?

If she's wrong, how to explain that Reiki of an Acacia tree exceeds that of a ginseng in her space? It's also strange that Miss Yang came into her house without triggering any magic circles.

It's so worrying. Lin Luoran feels she causes trouble again.

……

Yang Lisha is furious with the broken branch. Sap on the broken point hasn't dried yet. She can still feel the smell of the two cultivators. They clearly haven't been gone for a long time. Yang Lisha follows their smell through the crowd, but it then mixes with so many other smells as well as the turbid air. She can't tell where they head to anymore.

Fire left scars on vines on the wall. None of the flowerpots in the yard are overturned. They didn't burn up the vines as well. Yang Lisha now knows they didn't come to destroy, but to detect.

She has been away from the earthly world for so long. Does she lose her cautiousness?

Yang Lisha takes the bamboo tube out. The Reiki-devouring bug seems alright.

"How could you run away behind my back? You caused all these troubles. Speaking of which, why does Reiki of their house stay mild? Do we need to kill them after all is done, Voiddy? We can transplant you over and we won't have to move again, but you hate it when I kill other people. I'll think about another way."

Yang Lisha speaks to herself under the Acacia tree and tears a piece of cloth from what she is wearing. She wraps the broken branch with it and ties it in a bow.

It gets late. The cloth flutters in the evening breeze while Yang Lisha yawns.

"It's hard to be a human. They need to sleep every day."

She stamps her feet as she complains. In the moonlight, she turns into a green vine entwining the Acacia tree.

At the same time, Rong Donglin, who has been hiding in a luxury hotel room that has the best view nearby, witnesses all of these via his telescope and is scared to death. He drops the telescope and runs to his bed.

"Why did Lin Luoran ask me to spy on such a strange person? No, she's not a person at all. I can't do this anymore. I need to check out right now."

The girl at the reception has seen many people checking in in the middle of the night, but she hardly finds anyone checking in alone in the evening and checking out at midnight. It's so extravagant to spend thousands of dollars only to stay here for a few hours. Rong Donglin can barely put himself together. He clearly doesn't notice the girl's implicit wink. He checks out, carrying the telescope given by Commander Lu. A taxi takes him straight to Lin's villa while he looks like a thief.

……

"You said Yang Lisha turned into a green vine?" Seeing Rong Donglin being shocked like that, Lin Luoran has known he hadn't seen anything good before he even opens his mouth. What he saw is too outrageous.

It's not that Lin Luoran doesn't want to believe there are monsters in this world. The crazy Taoist gave her a lesson on Diliu Syrup not long ago. She knows it's much difficult for plants to turn into human than animals like monster bats. Only god can save her if Miss Yang is a monster who got Diliu Syrup thousands of years ago. Lin Luoran would rather believe Rong Donglin was deceived by some magical camouflage.

However, Lin Luoran can no longer fool herself with this excuse when Huang Weijian comes the next day.

Huang Weijian's bald pen begins to shake slightly again. Lin Luoran's lips become dry. "What's happening?", she asks.

Huang Weijian picks up the branch of the Acacia tree and says with absolute certainty, "There's monsterous Reiki on it." Though he has been doing self-cultivation for many years, he never believed there were monsters in this world until now. His bald pen already shook for three times after he met the Lin's. Recently, Ma Ming is always saying "You are a lucky charm". Huang Weijian thinks he is talking about the elder sister of the Lin's. If she's not a big lucky charm, why does she attract so many monsters?

Lin Luoran takes the branch of the Acacia tree and immediately leaves for Mount Qingcheng.

Remains of the collapsed Qingcheng Taoist Temple have been cleaned up. Lin Luoran stands there and feels lost. The crazy Taoist thinks Liu Zheng's personal abilities are too weak, so he suggests that they find somewhere quieter and focus on cultivation.

Coincidentally, the flower shop opened not long ago, right after the crazy Taoist and Liu Zheng left. Lin Loran takes out a paper crane that the crazy Taoist gave her.

It is inscribed with the crazy Taoist's spiritual mind. He says the paper crane can find him wherever he is.

Lin Luoran finds a pen and writes down things that happened recently. She also puts a leaf of the Acacia tree in the letter. After she makes a few Taoist hand gestures, the paper crane starts to dance in her hands and then flys west through the dense woods.

Turbid air in the city makes the wings of the paper crane pretty heavy to flap. It has to slow down and take a rest in a gingko tree.

Yang Lisha comes out of the shop holding Nature's Masterpiece in her hands. She suddenly turns to look at the gingko tree opposite the street.

She smiles and says something silently in her mind. The paper crane then flies to her and lands on her hand as if it were pulled by an invisible string. The paper crane tries to escape, but its wings lose their strength after Yang Lisha blows to it. It can't fly anymore.

Seeing Yang Lisha holding a paper crane, the owner of the Tibetan jewelry store shakes her head and smiles, "You still act like a child. Nobody will believe you're a grown woman who owns a shop."

Yang Lisha puts the paper crane in her pocket, "Have you got the herbal medicine in the prescription I gave you, Ms. Dong?"

Ms. Dong takes her hand and says, "You are such a nice person. You are also good at everything! I only took two doses of it and I slept like a baby last night! Have you been taking medicine too? Why do I smell herbals on you?"

Yang Lisha raises her sleeves and smells, "Oops, it's the Schisandra I grow in my backyard. I accidentally got their sap on my sleeves."

After chatting about their life for a short while, Yang Lisha says she still has some flowers to deliver and asks Ms. Dong to help look after her shop. She puts Nature's Masterpiece and a few pots of other flowers into the car and heads towards the Custom Street.

She takes the paper crane out of her pocket. The leaf of the Acacia tree falls out before she could read. She then unfolds the paper and checks what Lin Luoran wrote. Once she finishes, she turns the letter into ash and lets the wind carries it away.

"I just knew it! She's your student, but it's ok, an eye for an eye."
