Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

At this moment, Lin Moli had a strong urge to kill someone.

Xu Chu was clearly a hot-blooded young man, yet even in his current state, he didn't react at all, his attention remaining fixed on his broken fishing rod.

This was a huge blow to Lin Moli. She was actually less attractive than a fishing rod? A spirit fish?

Lin Moli even suspected that Xu Chu had some physical defect and wasn't a normal man.

Her pride made her want to leave immediately and never see Xu Chu again.

But the promise of 100,000 spirit stones from Manager Liu forced her to calm down.

Lin Moli brushed her wet hair, which was sticking to her cheeks, aside, lifted her damp skirt, and came to Xu Chu's side, saying with a wronged expression.

"I have no way to repay your life-saving grace, young master. I wonder if you could take me home? I am too ashamed to face anyone in this state."

Once they arrived at her place, alone together, Lin Moli was convinced that her experience would be enough to handle Xu Chu, this virgin.

Holding his fishing rod, Xu Chu turned his head impatiently. Only then did he notice Lin Moli's appearance. As a normal man, he took another look.

It was this one glance that caught Lin Moli's attention, and she was secretly delighted.

"I knew it. How could a boy just beginning to experience love be unmoved by me right now? It seems he's a normal man after all, with no physical defects."

Xu Chu did look at it, but only glanced at it once, before taking out a long robe from his storage ring and tossing it to him.

"I only saved you as a favor, I didn't expect anything in return. You can wear this back, you don't need to return it to me."

After saying that, Xu Chu's attention returned to the fishing rod.

Lin Moli was stunned, frozen in place, at a loss for what to do.

She instinctively wanted to say something more, but she held back.

My behavior just now was somewhat deliberate and had aroused his dissatisfaction. If I continued to argue, it would only backfire.

So for now, we have no choice but to leave and make other plans.

"Thank you, young master."

Lin Moli replied sweetly, then left, draped in her long robe.

She had initially felt uneasy about earning these spirit stones, but now she felt that without giving herself so many spirit stones, she could not possibly make up for the blow she had suffered.

Lin Moli returned and recounted the events in great detail to Manager Liu.

Manager Liu's expression was grave. "Could it be that he has sensed something?"

Lin Moli also hoped that Xu Chu had sensed something was wrong, which was why he kept rejecting her, rather than that she lacked charm and failed to attract him.

"He probably didn't notice anything. After all, I'm very familiar with that look in his eyes. Maybe he just likes fishing and doesn't want to be affected by other things."

"I hope so," Manager Liu nodded.

"It's normal to be wary of strangers. After a few more chance encounters, you'll probably feel much better once you get to know them."

Lin Moli agreed, "That's what I think too."

"Okay, you can go back now. Be prepared for our next chance encounter. Also, come find me if there's any progress," Manager Liu instructed.

He was worried that if Lin Moli contacted him too often, the Xu family or Xu Chu might find out and arouse suspicion.

Lin Moli nodded and turned to leave.

She only had eyes for the spirit stones and didn't want to bother Manager Liu with nothing else to do.

.....

Xu Chu was indeed at the prime of his life, a normal man, and he didn't realize that Lin Moli's visit was ill-intentioned.

He treated Lin Moli that way simply because he made a decision six months ago after learning that he possessed the Dao Fruit of Immortality.

No matter how beautiful a woman he meets in the future, he will not develop feelings for her, nor will he seek a Daoist partner, get married, or have children.

Because the immortal self will witness the passing of loved ones in the future, which is already painful enough, he doesn't want to watch his beloved wife and daughters grow old as well.

So when he met Lin Moli, he was only acting out of kindness, saving her life and not wanting to get too entangled with her.

Lin Moli was unaware of all this; she was still thinking about what to wear next time she met Xu Chu, how to dress up, and how to get closer to him.

The next day.

After completing his alchemy task, Xu Chu went fishing by the river again, but this time he went far away, afraid of running into Xu Qingzhou again. He always felt uncomfortable being too close to his elders.

Not long after Xu Chu started, Lin Moli, who was dressed up, came again. She moved gracefully to Xu Chu's side and called out softly.

"My benefactor, do you still remember me?"

Xu Chu turned his head and glanced at her, then nodded.

Lin Moli smiled playfully and handed a long gown to Xu Chu.

"These are your clothes, I've already washed them."

“I told you you don’t need to return it,” Xu Chu said, holding the fishing rod in his left hand while taking the clothes with his right.

Lin Moli chuckled, looking slightly naive. She didn't leave, but instead took out a small stool and sat obediently to the side.

"I have specially prepared some pastries for my benefactor. Please have a taste."

As she spoke, she took out a box containing exquisite pastries made with various colors and ingredients.

Xu Chu waved his hand subconsciously.

"no need."

Lin Moli said in a clear voice, "I have no way to repay your life-saving grace, so I made some pastries to entertain you while you are fishing. I hope you can try them, otherwise I will feel really bad."

Helpless, Xu Chu picked up a piece and tasted it.

"How does it taste?" Lin Moli asked quickly.

Xu Chu nodded. "It's alright."

"Then eat a few more pieces. This was all made for you," Lin Moli said, handing over a plate like a maid.

Xu Chu said, "No need for that, I'll get it if you want to eat it."

"Ok."

Lin Moli placed the plate aside, looking very obedient.

After that, they started chatting. It was more of a monologue by Lin Moli than a conversation. She would say ten sentences, and Xu Chu would only reply with one at most, but she still enjoyed it immensely.

Lin Moli mainly talked about her own experience, which is why she jumped into the river yesterday.

In summary, she had a tragic background: an alcoholic father, a gambling mother, a sick brother, and a broken life.

If Xu Qingzhou were here, he would definitely sigh, "Different worlds, same old tricks."

Xu Chu was very polite, nodding frequently as he listened. Lin Moli thought he had taken it to heart and might even feel sympathy for her, thus arousing his protective instincts.

After all, this trick had always worked when I worked at Zuimenglou.

In reality, Xu Chu was already completely absorbed in his own thoughts, letting things go in one ear and out the other, wondering if his bait was wrong and whether he should try a different activity in a few days.

And just like that, the afternoon passed.

Xu Chu finished eating the pastries Lin Moli made, and she was also parched from talking so much that her throat felt like it was on fire.

As dusk approached, Xu Chu packed up his fishing rod. "Thank you for the pastries, I'm going home now."

"Uh, okay, see you tomorrow," Lin Moli replied subconsciously.

Xu Chu, who had already turned around, paused slightly.

What does this mean?! Is she trying to cling to me?

I've been talking about this all afternoon, it's already annoying enough, do you really want to come again tomorrow?

Okay, okay, I'll try a different location tomorrow and see if you can still find me!
