Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 187
[Chapter 187 The Possibility of Immortality]
until noon that Lin Xiu got up from the bed.
Caiyi beside him was still sleeping soundly. She was exhausted last night. Lin Xiu had been holding it back for so long in the past year. On the wedding night, he could finally make love with the person he loved, and he was a little unrestrained.
Pressing against her satin-smooth body, Lin Xiu couldn’t help but recall the beauty of last night.
Caiyi was a new wife, so she was naturally green in matters between husband and wife. Lin Xiu often had to teach her, but in another aspect, she was better than any other woman.
Lin Xiu had imagined what her voice would sound like in some special occasions.
Now he knew. He
couldn’t stand it at all.
If her voice wasn’t so tempting that made Lin Xiu addicted to it and couldn’t stop, she wouldn’t be so tired that she was still sleeping now.
Lin Xiu quietly got out of bed and went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles. When he brought it to the room, the woman on the bed slowly opened her eyes.
She looked around in panic, and realized that what happened yesterday was not a dream, so she was relieved and showed a happy smile on her face.
Lin Xiu walked to the bed and said with a smile: “Eat something, you must be exhausted after working so late yesterday.”
Caiyi blushed and said: “It’s all my fault for getting up so late. I’ll get dressed first and go to serve tea to my sister…”
“She’s not at home.” Lin Xiu sat on the bed and said: “You sleep a little longer, I’ll feed you.”
But Caiyi said she would not let Lin Xiu feed her no matter what. Lin Xiu handed her clothes, and she put them on in the quilt. After washing, she didn’t care about eating, and said: “It’s only the first day and I got up late. I will be said to be ignorant of the rules. I still have to pay my respects to my parents-in-law…”
Lin Xiu brought the bowl to her and said: “It’s because it’s the first day, so it doesn’t matter if you get up late. They will understand. Be good, finish the meal, and I will go with you.”
At Lin Xiu’s strong request, Caiyi ate first, and then hurried to the Lin Mansion with him.
Zhou Yun and Lin Ting were very surprised. Although they were from the same family, Lingjun had never greeted them. This made them even a little flattered. After
having lunch at the Lin Mansion, Lin Xiu and Caiyi left hand in hand.
Zhou Yun stood in front of the Lin Mansion, watching their backs as they left, and couldn’t help saying, “Why do I feel that Caiyi is the eldest wife of my Lin family…”
Lin Ting touched his chin and said, “To be honest, I have this feeling too…”
Although his son and Lingjun were husband and wife, there was always a kind of politeness between the two. When they were with Caiyi, they could clearly feel that this was what a couple should be like.
Lin Xiu held Caiyi’s hand and walked openly on the streets of the royal capital, no longer having to worry about being seen by others.
The marriage was completed, and the ceremony was held. They are now a legal couple.
The person he didn’t meet in his previous life, he finally met in this life.
Lin Xiu and her fingers were tightly intertwined, and they came to Lihuayuan.
When Caiyi was a child, her family had many children and could not afford to support them, so they were sent out to make a living. Some of her elder sisters became maids in wealthy families, and some of her younger sisters became child brides. She herself joined a drama troupe and learned skills just to avoid starving to death. Later, by chance, she entered Lihuayuan and followed the troupe owner to the capital.
She has no natal family, or rather, Lihuayuan is her natal family. The troupe owner and the sisters here are all her family.
When the two came to Lihuayuan, they unexpectedly found that today’s business was not bad.
Caiyi is the pillar of Lihuayuan, and the only pillar. The business of Lihuayuan before could not even support them to eat. Later, after Caiyi began to practice, the business here gradually improved. I
thought that after Caiyi left, the business of Lihuayuan would plummet. Lin Xiu even thought that he would pay for them in the future. After all, they were also Caiyi’s family, but at present, it seems that there is no need for this.
On the stage, the troupe owner was wearing the costume of an old woman and singing an opera. Her voice was sonorous and powerful, and seemed to carry a kind of shocking power. Even Lin Xiu, who didn’t know much about opera, could hear that she sang very well.
This kind of goodness was different from Caiyi’s goodness.
Although Caiyi’s voice made Lin Xiu unable to control himself, he had to admit that the troupe owner was much better than her in singing skills.
No wonder there are so many guests in Lihuayuan. These people really love opera, not just for the pretty faces.
Caiyi was also shocked and murmured: “This, is this still the troupe owner…”
Not long after, in the backstage of Lihuayuan, the troupe owner glanced at the girls with disdain and said: “Little girl who doesn’t know how high the sky is, I told you that I was also a famous actor in the past, and you still don’t believe it…”
The girls were stunned and spoke in shock.
“I believe it, I believe it…”
“The troupe owner is so awesome!”
“Now we don’t have to worry about the theater closing!”
…
The troupe owner glanced at Caiyi and said, “It’s different as a young wife. I haven’t seen you for just one day, and your face looks much more moisturized, but the dark circles under your eyes are heavier than before. Didn’t you sleep well last night?”
Caiyi blushed when she heard that. The troupe owner looked at Lin Xiu and said, “Our Caiyi has had a hard life since she was a child. You have to be nice to her, otherwise, our Lihuayuan will not let you go…”
Lin Xiu felt amused. Lihuayuan’s girls are either young girls or old ladies. They will not let him go no matter what.
However, he still held Caiyi’s hand tightly and said seriously, “Don’t worry, Caiyi is my wife now. How could I treat her badly? I wish I could pick the moon from the sky and give it to her…”
“Yo yo yo!”
“No, I can’t listen to it anymore.”
“Let’s go, let’s go. If we stay any longer, I’ll get goose bumps…”
The little girls dispersed, and the troupe owner took Caiyi to a room and said, “When you first joined the troupe, you were only ten years old. In the blink of an eye, you have grown into a big girl.”
Caiyi smiled and said, “Thank you for taking care of me for so many years.”
The troupe owner waved her hand and said, “We are a family. What are you thanking me for? I have always treated you little girls as my daughters. If he treats you badly in the future, just tell me and I will vent your anger for you.”
Caiyi said, “He won’t treat me badly.”
The troupe owner shook her head and said, “You little girls who fall in love, your brains have been eaten by fish. Being good to you for a while doesn’t mean being good to you for a lifetime…”
The troupe owner opened a cabinet, in which there were guqin, bamboo flute, pipa, erhu and other musical instruments neatly arranged.
She took out a bamboo flute and handed it to Caiyi.
After Caiyi took it, she asked in confusion, “What is this for?”
The class owner said, “As someone’s concubine, how can you please your husband without any skills? You need to learn a few more musical instruments. I will teach you to play the flute first, and then I will teach you other ones after you learn them.”
Caiyi looked at the bamboo flute in her hand, and her face turned red for some reason.
The class owner was surprised and said, “Isn’t it just learning to play the flute? Why are you blushing?”
Caiyi hurriedly said, “Nothing, class owner, do you know any musical instruments? Why have I never heard you say it before?”
The class owner rolled his eyes at her and said, “I know a lot more. Do you want to know everything? You have to study hard. Don’t look at your beautiful appearance. No matter how beautiful you are, you will get tired of it if you look at it too much, and you will also get old and lose your beauty. Learn something new from time to time to keep fresh in front of him…”
Lin Xiu leaned against the door and looked at the class owner unexpectedly.
I didn’t expect that she was so old, but she still understood things between men and women.
Many middle-aged couples ended their marriages because they had no freshness.
Little did they know that they were also sweet and happy before, and they had made vows to each other.
But she underestimated Lin Xiu.
Is he the kind of person who gets bored with the old and loves the new?
They have been married, worshipped their parents, and drank the wedding wine.
She is his wife.
Caiyi will grow old, and he will grow old with her.
But she will not grow old either.
Lin Xiu’s ability can keep her young forever.
The imperial concubine is 32 years old, but she still looks like Princess Minghe’s sister. This is partly due to Shuangshuang.
Shuangshuang’s ability has only been awakened four times.
As Lin Xiu’s strength increases, his ability will become stronger and stronger.
Even if he wants to hold Caiyi’s hand and grow old together, he can’t do it.
He will make her so beautiful forever.
At this time, Lin Xiu suddenly realized a problem.
The healing ability of the fourth awakening can extend the life of the ability user to two to three times that of a normal person. Under normal circumstances, he and Shuangshuang can easily live over 200 years old. What
about the fifth awakening, the sixth awakening, the seventh awakening… the ninth awakening?
Will they be immortal?
Even if he can’t live forever, it shouldn’t be a problem to live for hundreds or thousands of years. But what’s the point of him living so long alone? He is immortal, but what about Caiyi, Ning’er, Lingyin, Qin Wan, A Ke? What about
the imperial concubine?
What about his parents?
Everyone will die one day. Lin Xiu has died once, so he is not so afraid of death. For him, what is more terrible than death is watching the people around him leave one by one.
He looked at Caiyi who was learning musical instruments with the class owner and fell into deep thought.
From a biological point of view, the normal death of human beings is the aging of cells leading to organ failure. If cells can regenerate forever and organs never fail, humans will not die. It’s
simple to say, but even a strong person of the heavenly rank cannot resist the aging of the body.
This is an irreversible natural law. The ability of treatment can delay this process. When he becomes stronger, it should not be difficult to help others prolong their lives for dozens or hundreds of years.
People are always greedy. When he first came to this world, all Lin Xiu wanted was to live a peaceful and smooth life.
Later, he found that he had awakened his special ability, so he wanted to go further on the road of cultivation.
At first, he worked hard to become stronger, just to protect the people around him. Later, in addition to protecting his parents and loved ones, he also wanted to do something for the people.
Now, he is actually considering immortality.
