Chapter 1351: Intercepting Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, the interspecies journey begins?

Seeing that Zhao Liying was still sleeping soundly, and since it was a rare day off for her, Lin Lang couldn't bear to wake her and decided to let her sleep until she woke up naturally.

But Lin Lang, whose stomach was empty, was a little hungry. He had an idea: why not randomly travel to ancient times and have a special lunch? After all, it would only take a short while.

The thought had barely formed in his mind when his figure vanished from the bedroom in a flash, without making a sound and waking the person in bed.

The next second, Lin Lang was already standing next to a tavern on the shore of West Lake in Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.

A warm breeze carrying the scents of lotus and wine wafted in, and the signboard of the tavern bore the three characters "Huxianju" in ink. Inside, the place was bustling with people, full of the lively atmosphere of a bustling marketplace.

He found a square table overlooking the lake at the entrance of the tavern and sat down. His short hair and modern casual clothes made him stand out in the crowd full of people in traditional Chinese dresses and Confucian robes.

The waiter, carrying a teacup, passed by. Seeing his attire, his eyes widened, and he paused, unable to resist taking several more glances.

Lin Lang didn't care at all and tapped the table: "Waiter, bring me your signature dishes and a pot of local wine."

The guy stood there, frozen, his eyes still lingering on his clothes and short hair.

Lin Lang understood, casually took out a gold bar from his pocket, and placed it on the table. The gold bar made a deep, dull sound as it hit the wooden table, and its golden light made the waiter's eyes light up.

"Please wait a moment, sir! It'll be right there!"

The waiter immediately changed to a warm and friendly demeanor, bowed in response, and then dashed off to the kitchen without the slightest hesitation.

Before long, West Lake Vinegar Fish, Song Sister's Fish Soup, Lotus Leaf Wrapped Rice, and Osmanthus Sticky Rice Lotus Root were served one after another.

A pot of osmanthus wine is warmed in a porcelain pot, the aroma of the wine mixed with the sweetness of the osmanthus, making one's mouth water.

Lin Lang poured himself a glass of wine, and just as he took a sip, he heard a clear, charming female voice coming from the shore of West Lake, tinged with curiosity:

"Sister, look at that man over there. He's dressed so strangely, and his hair is so short. Could he be a demon from some mountain?"

The speaker was Cen Biqing, who was dressed in a green robe and looked as beautiful as a fairy.

She rested her chin on her hand, staring intently at Lin Lang, her fingertips lightly tapping the table, her eyes full of inquiry.

Bai Suzhen sat beside him, dressed in a plain white dress, her eyes gentle and graceful. Following Xiaoqing's gaze, she also caught sight of Lin Lang, who seemed out of place not far away.

She leaned slightly forward, her nose twitched, and she took a deep breath, a hint of doubt flashing across her brow.

There was no trace of demonic stench or aura on Lin Lang; he was perfectly clean.

However, she had cultivated for a thousand years and possessed profound Taoist skills. With a little concentration, she sensed that Lin Lang's aura was exceptionally strange. He was neither a demon nor an ordinary mortal. There seemed to be a faint layer of chaotic energy around him, which was unfathomable, yet she could sense that he was no ordinary being.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xiaoqing leaned closer and whispered, "Not a demon? Then why are you dressed like this? It looks very strange."

Bai Suzhen's eyes flickered slightly, and she said softly, "This person is neither a demon nor a mortal, nor a god. This is the first time I have ever seen such a strange person. Let's go and take a look."

After saying that, she raised her hand to straighten her sleeves, stood up and slowly walked towards Lin Lang's table.

The light footsteps on the bluestone pavement, the white hem of her skirt sweeping across the ground, stirred up a gentle breeze.

When Lin Lang looked up, he saw a woman with a gentle and beautiful appearance standing in front of the table. Her eyes held a hint of inquiry, yet she remained polite.

"Greetings, young master." Bai Suzhen nodded slightly, her voice gentle and melodious, like the spring waters of West Lake. "My sister and I were curious about your unusual attire and have disturbed you. We hope you will forgive us."

Xiaoqing followed and stood beside Bai Suzhen, still looking curious as she sized up Lin Lang without any attempt to hide her curiosity.

Lin Lang stared at the two stunningly beautiful sisters before him, his wine glass pausing as if he had witnessed something unbelievable.

He was secretly amazed:

What the hell!

Could the system be displaying a wrong entry?

These two stunningly beautiful sisters before me are actually the legendary Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing?!

I just randomly traveled to a certain dynasty to have a special lunch, and I actually encountered the Green Snake and the White Snake. This is too outrageous!

After a brief hesitation, Lin Lang put down his wine glass, but pretended to be indifferent and raised his hand: "It's alright. If you two ladies don't mind, why don't you sit down and have a drink and try this West Lake Osmanthus Wine? It tastes quite good."

As he spoke, he pointed to the empty seat opposite him.

Bai Suzhen's eyes flickered slightly. Seeing Lin Lang's open and honest expression, she didn't refuse and pulled Xiaoqing to sit down opposite him.

Xiaoqing, without any ceremony, plopped down in her seat and reached out to pick up the gold bars on the table. Bai Suzhen lightly patted the back of her hand, and she reluctantly withdrew her hand.

She then turned to Lin Lang and said, "Young master, you may not know this, but my sister and I are not good at drinking."

Bai Suzhen looked up at Lin Lang, her gentle eyes carrying a hint of probing: "Judging from your appearance, you don't seem to be a local of Lin'an. May I ask where you come from?"

Lin Lang picked up a piece of fish in vinegar sauce. It tasted fresh, tender, sweet and sour. He smiled and said, "It's a long story. I'm a wanderer and just happened to be here."

He didn't say it directly, his tone was somewhat ambiguous, which only aroused Bai Suzhen's curiosity even more.

She could sense the heavy killing intent emanating from Lin Lang, so she tentatively asked, "May I ask, young master, what kind of business do you make?"

Lin Lang replied truthfully, "I am a businessman."

Upon hearing that Lin Lang's profession was a butcher, and that he carried a heavy burden of killing karma, yet there was no malice in his expression, Bai Suzhen became curious about that strange aura.

There are such peculiar mortals in this world, no, such peculiar beings.

Although Lin Lang stole and ate the immortal peaches of immortality, thus gaining eternal life, he is not an immortal.

Because the function of the Immortal Peach is to "extend lifespan," but Lin Lang has not undergone cultivation or been conferred an official title by the Heavenly Court, he is still a "mortal who lives forever" rather than an immortal.

Therefore, in Bai Suzhen's view, it was absurd that Lin Lang, who had committed so many murders, had not been haunted by vengeful spirits or punished by heaven.

"Young master, may I ask if you deal with the living or the dead?" Bai Suzhen pressed.

"Of course I'm in the business of living people, why do you ask that?" With that, Lin Lang prepared to pick up his wine glass and drink.

Bai Suzhen secretly used her magic to freeze Lin Lang's wine cup.

Lin Lang's hand holding the cup froze in mid-air. His fingertips clearly touched the porcelain cup, but it was as if it was nailed down by an invisible force, and he didn't move an inch.

A knowing glint flashed in his eyes, and he immediately guessed that it was Bai Suzhen who was behind it.

So he raised his eyes and looked at Bai Suzhen indifferently, the corners of his lips slightly curved. He didn't say a word, but focused his mind on urging her.

A powerful, almost tangible will emanated from his body, silently breaking through the layer of magic wrapped around the wine glass. The previously motionless porcelain glass was now firmly held and slowly lifted up by his force until it reached his lips.

He tilted his head back and drank the wine in one gulp. The sweet osmanthus wine mixed with the aroma of the wine slid down his throat, and the bottom of the glass tapped lightly on the table, making a crisp sound.

Bai Suzhen's expression suddenly changed, her eyes filled with shock, and the hand seals she was forming unconsciously loosened.

She had just used a considerable amount of magical power, yet it was easily broken by the opponent with only an inexplicable force, without even a moment of stalemate.

Lin Lang's mysterious power was far more bizarre and powerful than she had imagined; he was indeed no ordinary human being!

Xiaoqing was also stunned. She opened her mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time. She just stared blankly at the empty wine glass on the table, then glanced at Lin Lang, who had a calm expression, and then at Bai Suzhen, who had a look of surprise on her face. She vaguely sensed the undercurrent that had just passed.

Lin Lang put down his wine cup, looked up at Bai Suzhen, and said in a calm but playful tone, "Miss, why bother testing me like this?"

Bai Suzhen, having been exposed and tested, no longer maintained her gentle demeanor.

She stared intently at Lin Lang, her tone hardening, and decided to lay her cards on the table:

"Since you've seen through my methods, there's no need to hide anything. Just tell me, are you human or demon?"

Or is it some kind of monster?

Lin Lang's fingertips caressed the porcelain cup, and he chuckled softly upon hearing this:

"I am an immortal being who has been reborn from the ashes. Today I am merely crossing time and space to have lunch in this dynasty's plane. Why must Miss Bai be so aggressive and insist on getting to the bottom of things?"

"You actually know my surname is Bai?" Bai Suzhen's pupils shrank slightly, her face full of astonishment.

She and Xiaoqing had never revealed their surnames here, yet the person in front of her had known it outright, which startled her.

Lin Lang glanced at the two of them, his smile widening, and spoke clearly:

"The young lady's surname is Bai, and her given name is Suzhen. This is your sister, named Cen Biqing. Am I right?"

After saying that, he changed the subject, his gaze falling on the two people's slightly stiffened figures, and added casually, "You are both snake demons, isn't that right?"

These words struck Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing like a thunderbolt.

The two exchanged a quick glance, their expressions shifting slightly. They were both shocked and bewildered, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Xiaoqing could no longer contain herself and leaned forward, her voice filled with surprise and wariness:

"How could you know so much about us sisters?"

Who exactly are you?!

Lin Lang raised an eyebrow and chuckled, stating directly, "I am from the future, in the year 2007."

"Huh?" Xiaoqing's face changed instantly in surprise.

Bai Suzhen could not hide the shock in her eyes, and the two quickly exchanged glances again.

Bai Suzhen subconsciously gasped, her tone filled with disbelief: "What... dynasty was that?"

Lin Lang replied half-jokingly:

"That was a dynasty called Xia. After its founding, the path to immortality was sealed off and the lineage of demons was severed. All kinds of spirits and monsters had to hide their tracks and forms."

If they dare to manifest themselves in the world, they will have nowhere to hide.

Unlike Lin'an City, which still allows the two of you to be so at ease.

Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing looked at each other in shock upon hearing these words.

Xiaoqing opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word for a long time. She felt that this so-called 2007 was a strange and unheard-of world.

Bai Suzhen said in a low voice with an exaggerated expression, "Your dynasty forbade immortality after its founding? And it also eliminated the demon realm?"

Lin Lang patiently ate his lunch with chopsticks while giving a brief description of modern society, much like telling a story to a child. Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing listened with wide eyes.

A breeze from West Lake blew in, ruffling Bai Suzhen's hair. She raised her hand to tuck a stray hair behind her ear, her fingertips lifting slightly, and her gaze inadvertently met Lin Lang's.

In her gentle eyes, there seemed to be a shimmering light, carrying a hint of inquiry, a hint of curiosity, and a subtle, almost imperceptible flutter of emotion.

The smile in Lin Lang's eyes deepened.

Just then, it suddenly started raining by West Lake.

The outdoor table where Lin Lang, Bai Suzhen, and Xiaoqing were sitting at the entrance of the tavern was covered by a sunshade and rain awning, which did not affect their dining.

Seeing the heavy rain falling on the shore of West Lake, Lin Lang suddenly recalled the scene where Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian met at West Lake and "borrowed an umbrella".

At that time, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were playing in West Lake when a heavy rain suddenly started.

The two sisters were distressed because they had no umbrella when they happened to see Xu Xian also taking shelter from the rain, holding an umbrella in his hand.

Bai Suzhen then took the initiative to borrow an umbrella, and Xu Xian, seeing her gentle and polite demeanor, lent her the umbrella.

After the rain stopped, Bai Suzhen went to Xu Xian's pharmacy to return the umbrella.

Over time, the two became acquainted and gradually developed feelings for each other. This encounter, which began with rain and was facilitated by an umbrella, became a romantic beginning that has been passed down through generations.

After reading it aloud, Lin Lang jokingly said, "Miss Bai, if you don't go to borrow an umbrella from Xu Xian soon, I might ruin your marriage."

Bai Suzhen blinked her bright, clear eyes and asked curiously, "Who is Xu Xian?"

Lin Lang was secretly alarmed upon hearing this:

broken!

Could it be that I took Xu Xian's place and stole Bai Suzhen's place in the marriage?!

But I have no interest in those two snake spirits!

If I were to take those two, no, those two snake spirits, as concubines and bring them back to the Lin residence, my mortal concubines would be scared half to death.

If I had known, I would have stayed in Shanghai and waited for Zhao Liying to wake up naturally. Why did I have to randomly travel to ancient times for lunch?

What a sin!
