The immortal pill is reborn and possesses the body of the charming female shopkeeper.

Chapter 55 Refusal

Inside the tent, Lin Qianxiu seemed like a completely different person.

She wore a dark black martial arts dress, the silk shimmering and highlighting her snow-white skin, her slender waist, and making her appear much taller.

With her skirt swaying, Lin Qianxiu came forward like a lotus flower in the wind.

Luo Sifan swallowed hard, startled by Lin Qianxiu's rosy cheeks, red lips, and beautifully painted eyebrows, feeling a vague unease.

Lin Qianxiu acted as if she hadn't seen anything, and cheerfully took Jun Xiaolian from Luo Sifan's hands.

"What a beautiful young girl! No wonder you've been thinking of her so much, little sister!"

While admiring Xiao Lian, Lin Qianxiu gave Luo Sifan a rather strange look.

Luo Sifan knew she was overthinking things again, so he sat down alone, feeling annoyed. He took a bite of spiritual fruit and a sip of spiritual wine, too lazy to pay her any attention.

"This little girl is sleeping so soundly!"

Lin Qianxiu stepped out from behind the curtain, her face filled with confusion.

"Little sister, you didn't use some kind of evil magic on her, did you? And now the girl is completely devoted to you and lets you do whatever you want with her?"

Lin Qianxiu's mind wandered, and she clicked her tongue repeatedly.

Luo Sifan glared at her, the alcohol starting to take effect, and he became a little irritated.

Luo Sifan didn't want anyone to know about Xiao Yi's existence so easily.

"Such a temper!"

Lin Qianxiu was not angry but pleased, and was even momentarily captivated by Luo Sifan's masculine charm.

"Sister was just joking, little sister, why are you so easily amused!"

Lin Qianxiu leaned closer and took Luo Sifan's hand. The air was thick with the smell of alcohol, and Luo Sifan's androgynous face, with its mixed charm and alluring beauty, made Lin Qianxiu lose herself in thought several times.

"How can you joke like that? I, Luo... Lin Xiaozhi, have lived a life of integrity and uprightness! Sister, how can you make fun of me like this, a little girl!"

I need to take advantage of the alcohol to complain, otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble this woman will cause in the future!

Luo Sifan was half-drunk and half-awake, her eyes sharp yet filled with resentment.

"Alright, alright, it was just a slip of the tongue, I misspoke. How could our Xiaozhi like little girls..."

Lin Qianxiu simply pulled Luo Sifan into her arms, whispering sweet nothings and warm breath as she gently comforted her.

Luo Sifan's drunkenness subsided considerably, and he stared wide-eyed, not daring to move.

It is soft and fragrant, with amazing elasticity, and has a unique flavor.

"Um... Sister, I'm fine now, don't be angry."

Luo Sifan dared not let go of his hand lightly, and was very careful.

Lin Qianrou ignored him and was very willful.

After a brief standoff, Lin Qianrou finally released her grip with a smile.

"Little sister, next time you get angry, I'll hug you even longer!"

On the surface, she appeared gentle and considerate, but Luo Sifan sensed a hint of threat in her voice.

It turns out that Lin Qianrou used herself as a weapon to manipulate Luo Sifan, after all, Luo Sifan's character was that of a sentimental person who couldn't resist being teased.

Lin Qianrou seemed to enjoy teasing and flirting with Luo Sifan on the edge of danger.

"Uh-huh!"

Two deliberate clearing sounds came from the tent flap.

Lin Qianrou smiled slightly and looked away from Luo Sifan.

"Niannu! Speak your mind, stop beating around the bush!"

A girl peeked out from behind the door, glanced at Lin Qianrou's expression, and then walked in with a grin.

His eyes darted around on the slightly embarrassed Luo Sifan out of the corner of his eye.

The girl wore a light green short-sleeved shirt and trousers, which were fitted and tailored to her figure. She moved with a capable and poised demeanor.

"Miss, I apologize for disturbing you. General Mu Yuansheng has something to discuss with me and specifically asked me to inform him."

Niannu respectfully clasped his hands in a salute and loudly asked Lin Qianrou for permission.

"Why is Mu Yuansheng being so well-behaved today? Hehe."

After a slight look of surprise, Lin Qianrou quickly guessed Mu Yuansheng's purpose.

It's all because of that mess Luo Sifan caused.

"Sister, I think I'd better excuse myself for a moment."

Seeing that most of the people who came were on official business, Luo Sifan got up to avoid them.

"Need not."

Lin Qianxiu shook her head and pulled Luo Sifan down to sit.

"We are as close as one person, sister, there's nothing you can't know."

With a pointed remark and a serene expression, Luo Sifan had no choice but to obediently sit down.

Niannu received the signal and quickly retreated, but still managed to glance at Luo Sifan twice, startled by Lin Qianxiu's overly intimate words.

The footsteps outside the tent grew closer, and one could tell from them that the person was hot-tempered and efficient.

"My lord! I apologize for my unauthorized visit."

Before they arrived, their voices preceded their arrival, conveying a warm and joyful atmosphere.

A tall, middle-aged general in black armor glanced around the tent and stepped inside.

Without waiting for Lin Qianxiu's attention, he casually sat down on the brocade chair.

Sitting opposite Luo Sifan, he grinned at her, seemingly unintentionally.

"Is this your younger brother who shone so brightly at yesterday's alchemy gathering? Just like his alchemy skills, he's incredibly handsome!"

Mu Yuansheng opened his eyes wide, his enthusiasm overflowing.

"Xiaozhi, let me introduce you. This Brother Mu is the current commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, a second-rank military officer, Lord Mu Yuansheng."

Lin Qianxiu's expression was indifferent, revealing neither her likes nor dislikes.

"Brother Mu! Your younger brother, Lin Xiaozhi, greets you!"

Luo Sifan had no choice but to stand up and bow, accepting the misunderstanding.

"Good! Good!"

Mu Yuansheng seemed quite pleased, his gaze fixed on Luo Sifan with extreme satisfaction.

"Young Master Lin, this is your first time here, and I wasn't prepared at all..."

Mu Yuansheng looked down and fumbled around for a moment, then looked up and threw something over, initially fast but then slowing down, until it came to a steady stop in front of Luo Sifan.

It was a piece of pink jade the size of a palm, its shape neither human nor beast, dotted with tiny, shimmering specks of light. One end had a hole, from which a thin, soft gold band was tied.

Lin Qianxiu nodded, reached out and accepted it for Luo Sifan, then placed it in Luo Sifan's hand.

"Senior Brother Mu, are you really willing to give it up?"

Lin Qianxiu's tone became teasing and much more amiable.

Mu Yuansheng chuckled:

“There aren’t many things in our pockets that match Brother Lin’s temperament, so this is it! Talking about whether we’re willing to part with it or not would be too formal. We’re all family, right? Junior Sister?”

Judging from their words, this thing was quite valuable. Luo Sifan didn't know whether to refuse it or not, so he could only hold it in his hand and slowly sit down.

"A family? Everyone has their own agenda, so it's probably even harder to guard against family members."

Lin Qianxiu seemed unwilling to engage with Mu Yuansheng, and her tone became somewhat distant.

Mu Yuansheng shook his head with a wry smile.

"Junior sister, enough of the small talk. You should know why I'm here."

Mu Yuansheng sat up straight, his expression becoming much more serious.

"no!"

Lin Qianxiu refused without hesitation.

"you!?"

Mu Yuansheng was clearly a little surprised and gripped the armrest tightly.

He then calmed down.

"Junior sister! Let's talk this out. There's no need to be so distant. If you have any requests, you might as well discuss them with your senior brother."

"Oh?"

Lin Qianxiu raised an eyebrow:

"Senior brother, you should know what I seek. Even so, are you still willing?"

"this…"

Mu Yuansheng lowered his head and pondered for a long time, as if struggling to consider something important.

Lin Qianxiu remained calm, silently watching Mu Yuansheng caught in a dilemma.

Luo Sifan played with the pink jade in his hand, feeling the growing aura between the two people, and regretted staying here.

In this atmosphere, time seemed to drag on endlessly.

"Junior Sister!"

Mu Yuansheng suddenly raised his head, his voice deep and heavy, clearly having made a decision.

"Wait!"

Lin Qianxiu spoke first, extending her palm to stop him.

Every word was spoken with absolute certainty:

"No matter what your circumstances are, senior brother, my answer to this matter is only one."

"no!"

Mu Yuansheng looked incredulous.
