Chapter 177: Her Answer
Long Yu didn't expect Yao Ran's reason to buy antiques was to upgrade her space.
As far as he knew, space ability could not be upgraded, including spiritual garden-type spaces. But since she said her space could be upgraded with antiques, he will help her find more in the future.
After Yao Ran had sent all the antiques into her space, she closed her eyes and checked her space with her consciousness. Seeing nothing change inside the space, she frowned.
'Is the antiques not enough to upgrade the space?'
She thought for a second and then went to check the lake.
Yao Ran observed the lake water for a while and found that it was a little bit darker in color. She wouldn't have noticed the change if she didn't look closely. Feeling curious, she filled a glass with lake water and took it out.
The lake water was dark blue, but when she scooped it out, it was crystal clear and free of particles. Although the water does not need to be boiled and can be consumed directly, Yao Ran still likes to boil it before drinking it.
Long Yu was no longer surprised when he saw a glass of water suddenly appear in Yao Ran's hand, and he only looked at her curiously.
While he stared at her, Yao Ran stared at the water in the cup for a moment and then took a sip.
Looking at her cautious movements, Long Yu asked, "Ran Ran, what kind of water is this?" "This is water from the lake inside my space. Do you want to have a taste?" Yao Ran asked. Long Yu nodded and drank the lake water without hesitation. The next second, his eyes flickered. He circulated the wind element energy inside his body and felt that his stagnant wind element ability had improved slightly.
She already has a unique space, and now, the lake water in her space can enhance ability users' abilities. If someone knew about her space, Yao Ran would be in great danger.
Thinking of what happened to her in her previous life, Long Yu's eyes flickered with darkness. He looked at Yao Ran and reminded her, "Ran Ran, never give your lake water to others."
Yao Ran knew why he said that and nodded, "Don't worry. I knew what to do."
Seeing that it was almost lunchtime, Yao Ran asked, "Do you want to eat together?"
It was rare for her to invite him for a meal, so Long Yu readily agreed.
Sitting in front of the heater, Yao Ran took out some food she had bought at the restaurant before. Looking at the delicious food in front of them, the two felt hungry and quickly started eating.
After finishing the sumptuous lunch, Long Yu said, "Ran Ran, thank you for the meal. Let's leave early tomorrow to go to the trading market."
"Alright."
"Then... I will go back first." Long Yu said as he stood up.
Before leaving, he suddenly turned around and said, "Ran Ran, tomorrow is the third day."
Yao Ran blushed slightly when she heard this. She nodded, "I know."
After reminding her, Long Yu left her apartment and waited nervously for her answer.
Sitting alone in the bedroom, Yao Ran looked out the window and recalled everything that had happened since she met Long Yu.
She stood up and then stood in front of the window for a long time, watching people walk under the snow. When the gloomy sky slowly darkened, Yao Ran finally made a decision and put on her coat and Arctic clothing.
After leaving her apartment, Yao Ran stood in front of Long Yu's door and took a deep breath. After calming down, she raised her hand and knocked on the metal door.
Soon, Long Yu opened the door. When he saw her, he was a little surprised and asked, "Ran Ran, why are you here so late at night?"
Yao Ran looked into his eyes and said, "I come to give you my answer."
Long Yu was stunned for a moment, then stepped aside and said, "Let's talk inside."
Yao Ran nodded and walked into his apartment.
After Long Yu closed the door, his heart beat faster and faster when he saw Yao Ran standing calmly in the living room.
Long Yu clenched his sweaty palms, took a deep breath, and walked up to her. Whatever her answer was, he would accept it.
He tried to look calm and asked, "Ran Ran, what is your answer?"
When he asked, Yao Ran turned to look at him. She stared at him silently, which made Long Yu's heart beat even faster. When she saw his tightly clenched hands trembling, Yao Ran was stunned.
She raised her eyes to look at his calm face and thought, 'I thought I was the only one nervous. It turns out he is also as nervous as me.'
Long Yu looked at her expressionless face, swallowed nervously, and called her, "Ran Ran?" When he called her, his voice was trembling, and Yao Ran suddenly took a few steps closer to him.
She stood only one step away from him, staring into his deep eyes, and said, "Long Yu, I am not a good person. I came back from hell for revenge. My life... is shrouded in darkness. My future will be full of thorns and blood."
Yao Ran paused and asked softly, "Are you sure you want to walk this road to hell with me?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After saying that, she looked at Long Yu intently. She didn't want to miss any subtle emotion in his eyes. Once she sees his hesitation, she will reject him.
For a person who always walks in the light, he should stay away from her. She longs for light but cannot drag the light into darkness. It would be better for them to just cooperate and remain in their own worlds.
When Yao Ran was observing his expression, Long Yu also looked at her. The two looked at each other, and time seemed to have stopped.
