Chapter 641 Presumptuous
Lin Yin frowned slightly, his face full of impatience, and coldly uttered two words: "Too noisy...!" Immediately afterward, he quickly raised his right hand, his slender fingers deftly forming hand seals, and a mysterious light shot out from his fingertips, accurately striking the chattering Da Nian Beast Yuan.
In an instant, the once eloquent Da Nian beast ape seemed to be frozen in place, its mouth wide open, yet unable to utter a single sound. One could only see its lips opening and closing repeatedly, forming various shapes, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't produce even the slightest sound, becoming utterly mute.
"What's wrong with A Yuan? Lin Yin, what did you do to her...?" Someone standing nearby looked shocked and hurriedly asked.
Lin Yin didn't turn his head, but simply replied, "She's just too noisy, she's driving me crazy. So, I'll just let her have some peace and quiet for a while...!"
Upon hearing this, the man couldn't help but frown and said softly, "This doesn't seem quite right... After all, we're all partners who came out to make our way in the world together."
However, Lin Yin didn't seem to care, replying nonchalantly, "What's wrong with that? She'll be fine once she calms down." With that, he turned around, found a clean spot to sit on the ground, and leisurely took out a flask of fine wine—"Drunken Immortal"—from his robes, tilting his head back and gulping it down.
Lin Yin held an exquisite wine cup filled with the intoxicatingly fragrant and alluring "Intoxicating Immortal Wine." A slight smile played on his lips, his eyes gleaming with a hint of mockery and anticipation as he called out loudly to Huan Rugo, who was not far away:
"come over......!"
The voice seemed to pierce through the thick darkness, reaching Huanruge's ears clearly. She paused slightly, then obediently responded:
"oh......!"
Then, with light steps, she walked towards Lin Yin like a gentle fawn. Upon reaching him, Huan Ruge gently sat down, quietly keeping him company. However, she kept her head down, silent, and the delicious food laid out before her remained untouched.
Lin Yin appeared extremely comfortable, lounging lazily on the couch. Perhaps feeling a bit bored, he suddenly became interested, leaning forward slightly and getting closer to Huan Rugo, teasing her with a half-smile:
"Why aren't you drinking? Don't you always love my homemade 'Intoxicating Delight'?"
Upon hearing this, Huan Rugo raised her head, her gaze passing over Lin Yin to the twinkling stars in the distant sky. Her eyes were slightly unfocused, as if her thoughts had already drifted far away, and she absentmindedly replied:
"That was before...?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yin frowned slightly, staring at Huan Rugo, and said in a slightly provocative tone:
"Before? Could it be that you don't like it anymore? Humph, you women are truly fickle..."
Huan Rugo suddenly realized what was happening, inwardly cursing that she had unwittingly provoked this capricious and ruthless devil once again. She quickly changed her attitude, forcing a fawning smile and coaxing in a sweet voice:
"Oh dear, no! Your wine is certainly excellent, but the current situation is indeed not suitable for drinking..."
However, Lin Yin clearly had no intention of letting her off easily. His face instantly darkened, and he said sternly:
"lie......!"
Huan Rugo's throat went dry with nervousness. She unconsciously swallowed, then, as if burned, frantically waved her hands and hurriedly explained:
"No... absolutely not!"
Her panicked appearance caught Lin Yin's eye, instantly calming his initial anger. He forcibly suppressed the surging emotions within him, trying to make his tone as gentle as possible, and asked softly:
"Then tell me properly! Why are you so afraid of me...?"
Seeing that Lin Yin's attitude had softened, Huan Rugo's tense nerves relaxed slightly, but she still dared not let her guard down. First, she couldn't help but chuckle softly, then she quickly lowered her voice and muttered a few complaints in a whisper, like a mosquito's buzz:
"Heh... You've got quite the nerve! You keep asking why people are so afraid of you. Don't you have any idea what you've done in the past...!"
Although Huan Rugo had lowered her voice considerably, as if afraid of being overheard, every word she said still reached Lin Yin's ears. He was slightly taken aback, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face. Then, quick-witted, he seized the opportunity to sincerely apologize to Huan Rugo:
"I'm sorry, I was really abrupt just now and accidentally startled you... I'm so sorry!"
Huan Rugo was clearly taken aback by Lin Yin's sudden and sincere apology, and was somewhat flattered. She instinctively glanced at Lin Yin quickly, then turned away like a startled rabbit, blushing and stammering, "..."
"Ah...! It's nothing, it's nothing, I didn't take it seriously at all...!"
The atmosphere was perfect. Lin Yin seized the opportunity and gracefully took out an exquisite and beautiful concentric bracelet from his wide sleeves. He carefully handed it to Huan Rugo and said softly:
"This is for you...!" Huan Ruge blinked her big eyes and accepted the love bracelet with a question in her eyes:
"What is that? A bracelet? Was it a gift for me?"
After hearing this, Lin Yin pretended to be angry and said:
"Nonsense...! How utterly stupid...!" Huan Rugo's face turned red, and after an awkward dry laugh, she mustered her courage and asked, "I say, you kidnapped me here in the middle of the night, you couldn't have just brought me this thing, could you?" With that, she waved the nonsensical object in her hand.
Lin Yin nodded slightly, admitting without any attempt to hide his feelings, "Yes... that's exactly right." His gaze remained fixed on Huan Rugo, deep and intense.
Upon seeing this, Huan Rugo's eyes widened, and she raised her voice to shout, "What? Why...?" She simply couldn't understand the deeper meaning behind Lin Yin's actions.
At this moment, Lin Yin glanced at the love bracelet and then slowly said, "Do you still remember the red string bell? This is to compensate you." His words revealed a hint of tenderness that was not easily detected.
However, Huan Rugo only responded with a forced smile: "Hehe...! Could it really be just for such a small matter...!" She secretly pondered to herself, feeling that things were definitely not that simple.
Just then, Lin Yin's expression suddenly darkened, and he warned in an almost commanding tone, "From now on, you are not allowed to think about that fox anymore, especially Lin Moshi! They are all bad people! Besides, you are human, and you are not suitable to associate with them!"
Huan Rugo was completely bewildered by Lin Yin's sudden words. She blinked her large, bright eyes, muttering in confusion, "What's wrong with you tonight? You're talking strangely, and what you're doing is totally nonsensical...!"
A faint smile remained on Lin Yin's face, a smile as warm as the spring sunshine, radiating an aura of happiness. He gazed at the person before him with deep affection and softly asked, "Are you concerned about me...?"
Hearing this, Huan Ruge, who was standing to the side, felt a tightness in her heart. Feeling a little guilty, she quickly turned her head to the side, not daring to meet Lin Yin's eyes, and stammered, "N-no, I just asked casually...?"
However, Lin Yin didn't seem to intend to let her off the hook, and immediately followed up with, "Do you like the things I gave you?"
At this moment, Huan Rugo had her back to Lin Yin, her hands nervously fidgeting with her fingers. Her face was flushed red with shyness, as adorable as a ripe apple. She lowered her head slightly and mumbled softly, "You mean that bracelet? Can I say I don't like it?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Yin coldly replied, "No...!" Although his tone was icy, the domineering and doting tone it contained was self-evident.
Huan Rugo was a little annoyed by his words, and turned around, asking with slight dissatisfaction, "Then why did you ask?"
Faced with Huan Rugo's questioning, Lin Yin simply smiled and said gently, "Let me help you put it on!" As he spoke, he reached out and gently grasped Huan Rugo's wrist.
Huan Rugo frowned slightly, seemingly conflicted and hesitant, but only for a moment before she nodded gently and whispered, "Okay...!" Her voice was so soft that only she could hear it.
Just as the exquisite bracelet was slowly placed on Huan Rugo's slender wrist, Lin Yin couldn't help but lean closer, examining it intently and meticulously. The bracelet shimmered with a warm luster, complementing Huan Rugo's fair, snow-white skin, making her appear exceptionally beautiful and captivating.
Lin Yin couldn't help but exclaim in genuine admiration, "It's really beautiful...!" These three simple words contained his most genuine feelings about the beautiful scenery before him.
Upon hearing this, Huan Rugo was taken aback at first, then, as if she had remembered something amusing, she couldn't help but chuckle: "Hehe...!" Her laughter was clear and melodious, echoing in the air like silver bells.
Seeing Huan Rugo smiling so happily, Lin Yin's heart stirred, and a look of curiosity appeared on his face as he asked, "Isn't it pretty?" His tone was somewhat doubtful.
Huan Rugo quickly shook her head vigorously, denying it urgently, "No, no! It looks great, thank you so much!" As she spoke, a slight blush rose on her cheeks, as delicate and beautiful as a peach blossom in spring.
Immediately afterward, as if suddenly remembering something important, Huan Rugo raised her head and stared intently at Lin Yin with her large, watery eyes, full of anticipation. She asked softly, "But now that you've given me the things, when can we go back...?"
“I’m not going back. I’m going to a mysterious and unknown place…” His voice was low and firm, as if he had made an unchangeable decision.
"Ah! Can I not go?" She stared at him with wide eyes, her face full of astonishment, her heart filled with unease and doubt.
"No...!" he answered without hesitation, his tone so resolute that no one could refute him.
"Where exactly are we going...?" she asked anxiously, hoping to get some clues or explanations.
"It's almost dawn, you'll know soon enough...!" He raised his head slightly, looking at the gradually whitening eastern horizon, his eyes deep and distant.
"Good heavens! Can't you even let me get a good night's sleep?" she couldn't help but complain, her exhausted body already unable to hold on any longer.
"You can take a nap for a while, and I'll wake you up later!" he comforted softly, his tone gentle and considerate.
"Is that all?" She seemed somewhat dissatisfied, but there was nothing she could do.
"Don't worry, there's a powerful barrier here. Even the most ferocious Da Nian beast won't be able to get close, let alone affect you..." he said confidently, trying to dispel her fear.
"Alright then! I'm so tired, I'll take a nap...!" With that, Huan Rugo collapsed onto the bed like an exhausted kitten and instantly fell asleep. Her eyes were tightly closed, and her breathing gradually became steady, completely losing her initial reserved demeanor.
Lin Yin gazed silently at the sleeping woman before him. Her face, bathed in moonlight, appeared exceptionally serene and beautiful. A gentle, loving smile unconsciously curved his lips. He murmured to himself, "This is the real you, Ah Huan. Ever since you met Lin Moshi, you've changed completely. You're no longer as cheerful and lively as before, and you always deliberately keep a distance from me... But, Ah Huan, all I desire is to be alone with you. I don't want to share you with anyone. Especially before I fully understand your true origins and identity, I absolutely cannot allow you to have any further contact or interaction with Lin Moshi." The Da Nian Beast slowly rose, then carefully escorted Lin Yin to a desolate, uninhabited mountaintop, and respectfully reported to him:
"Master, we've arrived at our destination...!"
"Hmm... I understand, you can go now...!" Lin Yin nodded slightly and gave the order expressionlessly.
"Wake up, we've arrived...!" Seeing that Lin Yin seemed to be still immersed in his dream, the Da Nian Beast couldn't help but call out to him softly again.
"Hey, Ah Yan, stop bothering me! Let me sleep a little longer, okay?!" Lin Yin grumbled impatiently as he was woken up, then turned over and prepared to go back to sleep.
"Hmph, judging from your appearance, you're probably dreaming about that cunning little fox again...!" The Da Nian beast teased irritably.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yin, who was still somewhat dazed, immediately became displeased. He abruptly stood up, casually waved his arm, and muttered incantations. Instantly, pure white snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
