Dashing Student-Chapter 1173: Living Corpse Aspect

Lin Rou approached Chen Nan with some excitement, a peculiar fragrance emanating from her, her face flushed from excitement.

Chen Nan raised his eyebrows, understanding in his heart, and relaxed a bit; it was evidently about obtaining Elixir Pills.

He smiled subtly and said calmly, "You can get the Elixir Pills, but... it’s not enough."

Lin Rou was taken aback, a mocking smile appearing at the corner of her mouth as she gently pulled down her garment with her slender hands, exposing her tender fragrant shoulder.

"What more do you want, little brother? Whatever sister has, she can give to you, even if... you want sister herself."

As she spoke, her eyes were enchanting, alluring, thinking that Chen Nan, like other men, wanted her.

Chen Nan’s face flushed, his blood boiling with desire. After all, it was a physique that could stir the Scripture of the Hidden Talisman, aligning with his aesthetic, and he never hid his desires.

But this time, he really didn’t plan to take advantage of the situation, using Elixir Pills as leverage; he wanted the woman to be willing.

Unconsciously turning his gaze away, he coughed twice and said, "Cough, cough, still not enough."

Lin Rou’s expression instantly changed, suddenly slamming the counter in anger, "Nine five two seven, don’t go overboard. Many want me and yet can’t have me, are you not satisfied?"

This statement immediately drew the attention of other assassins in the hall, their gazes filled with jealousy, wishing to replace Chen Nan.

Chen Nan sat like he was on pins and needles, helplessly saying, "I want a piece of information; one message for a Fifth Grade Elixir, isn’t it worth it?"

"Fifth Grade Elixir?"

Lin Rou was suddenly shocked, her expression losing control for an instant, her heart pounding fiercely.

One must know that Fifth Grade Elixir, even Nascent Soul Realm cultivators lust after it, and the numbers of alchemists who can achieve the fifth grade in the Nine Provinces wouldn’t exceed one hand!

Yet the man before her mentioned it so casually, his expression serious, not at all joking.

And she required exactly a Fifth Grade Elixir, thus it was surprisingly joyful.

Lin Rou calmed herself, returning to her previous charming smile, her pliant hand resting on Chen Nan’s, her delicate face approaching him, her breath fragrant like orchids.

"Ah, speaking of which, sister is really getting a great deal, perhaps you should take sister; sister has never had a man, you know."

Chen Nan really wanted to agree, not because Lin Rou was beautiful, but because her physique could grant him substantial benefits.

Yet he restrained himself because he knew nothing about Lin Rou’s background, perhaps greed could lead to big trouble.

"No need, one message, one Elixir Pill."

Lin Rou hid her mouth as she laughed lightly, "Little brother is indeed cold-hearted, to reject sister, but this deal, sister agrees."

"As long as you can give me a Five Grade Elixir that repairs Divine Soul, whatever the message is, even if I risk my life, I’ll find it for you."

Her eyes carried determination, at that moment extraordinarily serious, even when saying "risk my life," there was a hint of killing intent!

Chen Nan was slightly shocked, realizing that might have been Lin Rou’s true self.

"Deal." Chen Nan readily agreed.

As the owner of Forget Worry Inn, Lin Rou had significant authority, hence in just two days, all other materials needed for the Ink Lotus Nourishing God Pill were delivered to Chen Nan.

Every Spiritual Medicine had three portions, leaving room for failure.

"Also need the owner to find a quiet place, where no one disturbs." Chen Nan raised another request.

Lin Rou pondered for a moment; there were many quiet places in Forget Worry Inn, some assassins had peculiar tempers, unwilling to be disturbed.

Yet she still felt insecure, those places couldn’t ensure no disturbance, especially since she wanted Chen Nan’s brewed Elixir.

Thinking it over, Lin Rou’s eyes suddenly brightened, pulling Chen Nan as she walked, passing through the small forest behind the inn.

The sound of indulgence emanating from the forest was unconcealed, reddening Lin Rou’s and Chen Nan’s faces.

Passing through the forest, crossing the bridge, finally they reached a simple and rustic farmhouse beneath the mountain.

The courtyard was shrouded in mist, looming barely visible, clearly protected by an Array, feeling tranquil, contrasting sharply with the indulgent sites behind.

"What is this place?" Chen Nan curiously asked, turning back to see that Forget Worry Inn seemed far away, separated by a sea of trees.

"My home."

At this moment, Lin Rou was devoid of previous seductiveness, even added a black outer garment over her veil.

She gestured, dispersing the fog ahead, revealing a pebble-paved path.

Walking over to push open the gate, Lin Rou turned, beckoning Chen Nan: "Come on."

Chen Nan was filled with curiosity, slowly walked over, the fog converging behind, his gaze falling on the courtyard to discover stone tables and chairs, small vegetables planted besides, lush and green.

No one would think this was a cultivator’s home.

Seeing Chen Nan’s doubtful look, Lin Rou didn’t explain, just walked through the yard to open the room door.

The room’s furnishings were simple and ordinary, the only peculiarity being a man lying on the bed.

The man had closed eyes, breathing normally, appearing asleep, but Chen Nan, being a doctor, immediately knew the man was in deep coma.

"Who’s this?"

"My little brother, the only family I have left in the world." Lin Rou said desolately, stepping forward to tuck in the man’s blankets.

Chen Nan slowly nodded, stepping up to place his fingers on the man’s wrist, casually inquiring, "The Elixir that repairs Divine Soul, must be for him, why has he ended up like this?"

"My parents and family were killed, my brother sought revenge, but was shattered in Divine Soul, ending up like this."

Lin Rou spoke so calmly, almost narrating a trivial matter, yet Chen Nan discerned stormy undercurrents beneath the calm facade.

"Divine Soul shattered, scattered in Purple Mansion, spiritual platform clouded, six senses blocked, yet body thriving with vitality, life force surging, a living dead state." Chen Nan spoke slowly.

Lin Rou was very surprised, "You’re a doctor too? Is there anything I don’t know about you?"

"Previously, I consulted many doctors, all said only a Five Grade Elixir that repairs Divine Soul could save my brother."

Chen Nan smiled, appearing enigmatic.

"Now I truly believe you can brew a Fifth Grade Elixir."

It turns out from the beginning Lin Rou never believed him, Chen Nan speechlessly pursed his lips.

After teasing, Lin Rou’s expression became a bit tense, hesitantly asked, "The Elixir you brew, will it help my brother?"

Then Lin Rou guided Chen Nan to another room, where a dressing table resided; many rouge boxes exuded peculiar fragrance, the bed’s canopy was red.

Evidently, it was Lin Rou’s own boudoir.
