I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1853 - 1854: Old Acquaintance

You were puzzled, not quite sure about the relationship between Hua Tuo and Zou Nan. You knew Zou Nan also practiced the Five Elements Opera, suggesting there might be some hidden ties between her and Hua Tuo. However, Zou Nan didn’t speak of it, and you didn’t ask further.

In the early Evening, you and Zou Nan arrived at a medical clinic named Longevity Hall.

Upon entering the clinic, a Young Servant hurriedly greeted you with a smile, bowing to you and Zou Nan. He was evidently familiar with Zou Nan, immediately saying respectfully, "Lady Li, you’ve arrived?"

"Lady Li?" hearing this, you couldn’t help but turn to look at Zou Nan, which made Zou Nan shyly turn her head away, not daring to meet your gaze.

You smiled and tossed a small piece of Silver to the Young Servant, saying with a smile, "You’ve got quite a sweet mouth, not bad."

"This must be Master Li?"

"Indeed." You nodded, "Take me to see your Doctor."

"Certainly, this way please, both of you."

You and Zou Nan entered a room reserved for wealthy patients. After the two of you went in, about ten minutes later, a lavishly decorated carriage stopped outside the clinic. With the assistance of two Maids, a slightly pale Ren Hongchang slowly disembarked. Unlike her usual self, Ren Hongchang now seemed delicately weak and charming.

The Young Servant saw Ren Hongchang and greeted her with a smile, then led her alone to the Doctor’s room. After entering the room, Ren Hongchang found that the kindly old white-haired elder was not inside, but rather a couple sitting quietly.

At first glance at you, Ren Hongchang naturally felt a strange sense of familiarity and closeness.

As for you, you immediately stood up, quickly walking towards Ren Hongchang: "Hongchang, is it really you?"

"Hong... Hongchang?" Ren Hongchang’s brows furrowed immediately; she took two steps back, at this time the Young Servant had already left, and the two Maids were waiting outside, completely unaware of what was happening inside. Hearing these two words, Ren Hongchang felt extraordinarily familiar, as if upon hearing "Hongchang," she had a conditioned reflex, as if someone was calling her. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Who... who are you?"

Even though you were only a few inches away from her, Ren Hongchang didn’t feel any threat but instead felt more affectionate.

You couldn’t care much anymore, directly moving forward to embrace Ren Hongchang. The sadness from these days had nearly driven you to collapse. During the days when you thought Ren Hongchang had gone, through endless longing and unceasing self-reproach, you realized the importance of Ren Hongchang and the other women to yourself.

In your embrace, a familiar warmth swept through her whole body, instantly engulfing her.

"Hongchang, is this my name?" After losing her memory, Ren Hongchang didn’t even know her own name. As her savior and adoptive father, Wang Yun had given Ren Hongchang the name Xiuer.

You looked down at Ren Hongchang, the joy of regaining what had been lost filled you with endless strength in an instant. You looked steadily at Ren Hongchang, saying, "Chang’an is not safe. Zhang Xiu and those people recognize your face; we must leave Chang’an immediately."

Though she was reluctant to leave your embrace, Ren Hongchang still distanced herself from you a bit. She shook her head, looking at you, "Adoptive Father saved my life; I cannot just walk away. I’ve lost my past memories, and although I feel close to you, you are still a stranger to me. Moreover, I am burdened with a grand mission; for the sake of the people of the world, I must keep going."

Hearing this, you did not become angry but instead laughed dismissively, saying, "Old Wang Yun always learns quickly, huh? The so-called grand mission you mentioned must be the Beauty Trap, right? To set Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo against each other, pulling Lü Bu to Wang Yun’s side, and then killing Dong Zhuo, right?"

"How... how do you know?" Ren Hongchang’s expression appeared very surprised.

"Nonsense, I was the one who told Wang Yun this idea, so how could I not know? Moreover, you are my wife. How could I let you put yourself in danger?"

"I... I..." Your words made Ren Hongchang feel Sky-Spinning, her head filled with intense pain.

You hurriedly drew Ren Hongchang into your arms, gently caressing her back. In your embrace, Ren Hongchang only felt one familiar fleeting memory after another flashing through her mind.

"Hongchang, how do you feel now?"

Ren Hongchang did not speak, but instead clung tightly to you, afraid that in the next moment you would be gone.

Gradually, you felt your chest becoming somewhat moist, realizing that Ren Hongchang was crying in your arms.

"At the time, I thought I was dead for sure, falling into the water, feeling suddenly cold and scared. I don’t want to die; I still have so many things I haven’t done. I haven’t given you a child yet, haven’t fulfilled a wife’s duties yet, I..."

You knew that Ren Hongchang had finally returned.

Holding Ren Hongchang’s tear-stained charming face, you gazed affectionately at her, saying, "Today, I swear to the heavens, from now on, I will never let you be in danger again, nor will I let anyone harm you!"

Ren Hongchang laid her face against your chest; at this moment, no more words were needed.

"Husband..."

Ren Hongchang just started to speak but was interrupted by you: "No need to say more, I understand. Wang Yun saved you; no matter what, I owe him a favor. Besides, it’s about time for Dong Zhuo to die too; only when he dies will the real situation arise!"

With your words, Ren Hongchang’s heart eased by half. But she raised her head again, looking at you, asking, "But, how can we easily kill Dong Zhuo with nearly ten thousand guards around him?"

You suddenly smiled mysteriously, saying, "Looks like it’s about time I visit some old friends."

With that, you quickly added, "However, today, I must first get you both out of Chang’an."

"But..." Ren Hongchang wanted to say more, but seeing the determined expression on your face, she dared not say more. With her memory restored, she knew that on big issues, you never went back on your word, and no one could go against your decisions.

At this point, however, Zou Nan frowned and said, "You’ve seen for yourself, currently Hongchang’s body is still weak, and you haven’t fully recovered your own strength. The three of us trying to leave Chang’an City may be quite dangerous."

As the former Sect Leader of the Goddess Sect, Zou Nan always acted with caution, not accustomed to taking risks, and didn’t want you to be in any danger either.

Yet, you shook your head firmly, speaking with a tone of unwavering determination, "Regardless, both of you must leave, as for the method, hmph."

At this point, your face showed a Crazy expression, familiar to Ren Hongchang, who knew that you were definitely about to do something shocking and terrifying. Previously, when you trained your Personal guard team, whenever this expression appeared, Little Liu and the others were in for extreme trials and tribulations in the days to come.

Your training of Little Liu and the others was beyond ordinary imagination.

Although to this day Little Liu and the others have remained by your side without entering the public eye, Ren Hongchang could confidently say that once they gathered to charge, they could at least hold off a hundred, if not more.
