Fortune-telling holds simr truths.
Orion Exeor is merely a century old, while Lin Wan’er (ni) boasts a remarkable age of over three hundred years. The contrast between them is striking.
At this moment, charlie Wade noticed a distinct shift in Lin Wan’er (ni)’s demeanor.
For an inexplicable reason, charlie Wade found himself captivated by her presence, feeling a sense of “the beauty of the past concealed in the present, with the lotus flower overshadowing all other charms” in her every gesture.
When Lin Wan’er (ni) referred to herself with the ancient term “Nujia,” typically used by Chinese women, charlie Wade felt as if she were a delicate kitten disying her vulnerable side, revealing her deepest secrets and weaknesses to him.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Noticing that charlie Wade was still reeling from the shock, Lin Wan’er (ni) spoke gently, “Forgive me, my master. I didn’t mean to frighten you. I simply asked a question, and out of respect, I had to answer truthfully…”
He gradually regained hisposure, looked directly at Lin Wan’er (ni), and asked deliberately, “Did you travel from over three hundred years ago, or have you lived continuously from that time until now?”
Lin Wan’er (ni) responded, “Young master, my family has indeed survived until today.”
charlie Wade was taken aback, murmuring, “Three hundred years ago, you witnessed that tea tree endure its trials in southern Yunnan… so… how old are you this year?”<fn28fa> Fresh chapters posted on find~novel</fn28fa>
Lin Wan’er (ni) answered earnestly, “Master Wade, I was born in the second year of Longwu during the Southern Ming Dynasty, which corresponds to the third year of the Shunzhi period of the Tartar Qing court, or 1646 in the Gregorian calendar.”
charlie Wade felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.
Considering her age, Lin Wan’er (ni) could very well be regarded as his ancestor, and the records in the Wade family tree might not predate her! Overwhelmed, charlie Wade eximed,
“In 1646… then you… wait… are you nearly four hundred years old now?!”
Bowing slightly, he added with respect, “Mydy, you need not address me as ‘you’; just call me Wan’er.”
“No…” charlie Wade insisted earnestly, “You’re almost four hundred years old… calling you ‘old’ seems appropriate for an ancestor…”
Lin Wan’er (ni) smiled and replied sincerely, “To me, I am just a girl who hasn’t grown up, not an old witch. Even though I’ve lived for nearly four hundred years, I still feel like I’m seventeen…”
“Uh…” charlie Wade suddenly felt a wave of awkwardness, as conflicting thoughts battled within him.
One voice dered, “She’s right. Despite nearly four centuries of life, she perceives herself as a youthful seventeen or eighteen.” Conversely, another voice countered, “Yet, she is almost four hundred years old! Just think about that! You, Master Charlie, haven’t even reached thirty yet!”
To escape this mental struggle, charlie Wade quickly shook his head, dismissing those thoughts. He then turned to Lin Wan’er (ni) and began to ask, “You…” As soon as the word “You” left his lips, he noticed a flicker of displeasure cross Lin Wan’er (ni)’s exquisite features, prompting him to quickly revise his words, “No, I meant to say you…”
Lin Wan’er (ni)’s expression brightened instantly; she smiled sweetly and asked shyly, “What would you like to say, my lord? I’m all ears.”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
