Chapter 68 Three Choices

"Hmm? Awake?"

Lin Manshan's ear tips twitched as he turned his head to look over.

Seemingly thinking of something bad, Zhu Zhuyun's brows were knitted tightly, her delicate and sharp features wavering back and forth in a slight struggle, her eyelashes fluttering non-stop like small brushes, her eyelids fluttering, seemingly struggling to hold them open.

In the next second, her eyes snapped open, and her upper body scrambled to sit up.

The light in the forest was not blinding, but it still seemed to make Zhu Zhuyun feel uncomfortable, and her right hand subconsciously raised to cover her eyes.

Her eyelids blinked back and forth a few times, finally adapting, and then her pupils shrunk slightly, observing her surroundings with a wary face.

With four eyes facing each other, Lin Manshan revealed a warm smile and nodded in greeting, "You're awake."

"." Zhu Zhuyun's vigilance intensified as she subconsciously lowered her head, then her pupils shrunk violently, and her body tensed. Instantly pulling up the blanket to cover the upper half of her body, with a chill in her eyes, she swiftly raised her head to look at Lin Manshan, her silver teeth clenched tightly, her low voice almost squeezing out of the cracks between her teeth, "What did you do to me?!"

Did what? Of course, everything that should have been done was done, and not a single thing that shouldn't have been done was done. That said, sister, are you not sober? Have you forgotten about what I did last night to save you? Lin Manshan's face stiffened, just wanted to open his mouth.

"Hmm," Another murmur sounded.

As if Zhu Zhuyun suddenly thought of something, she swished her head around to look.

Zhu Zhuqing was almost retraced by Zhu Zhuyun's reaction when she woke up, rubbing her eyes and sitting up, her hands clenching the blanket to cover the upper half of her body. However, no words were spoken, only her pretty face was pale, her lips pursed tightly as she stared at Zhu Zhuyun, looking at her without saying a word. While Zhu Zhuyun seemed to have recalled last night's incident at this time, shaking her head slightly towards Zhu Zhuqing, she then turned her head to look over.

Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth and also turned her head to look over.

"It seems like you've remembered, then don't say anything next, wait for me to finish." Lin Manshan spoke in a bland tone as he nodded his head.

Both girls didn't say anything and watched quietly.

"Firstly, you should be clear in your own hearts as to what kind of spirit beasts you were chased by last night. How the Wolftaken came to be, you may also have some understanding. Since you guys didn't choose to commit suicide in the first instance, it means that you guys want to live very much."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have overdrawn your physical strength to run all the way and support yourselves until you were discovered and saved by me."

Lin Manshan swept his eyes at the facial expression changes of the two girls, their faces were obviously more pale, a trace of fear flashed through their pupils, and the hands covering the blanket were clenched even tighter.

Seeing this, Lin Manshan continued, "Second, the injuries on your bodies. None of the wounds are deep, but they are almost all over your body and have been tainted with poison, coupled with the fact that you are sweating a lot and your wounds are soaked. You probably already know what kind of place the Star Dou Great Forest is, so it's almost certain that even if I feed you the Detoxification Pill in time; if you don't clean and treat your wounds promptly, you won't be able to last the night due to the infection. Even if you are lucky enough to survive, your bodies will fall into an extremely weak state and lose the ability to move."

"Under such circumstances, how are you going to treat your wounds on your own and survive through the night?"

"Even if you survive, you guys are very lucky to regain your mobility again. Without the presence of a healing spirit master, with your means of healing, how could you ensure that the wounds, which had already been worsened due to infection, would not leave scars by relying on medicinal stones alone?" Lin Manshan raised a series of questions, and then said, "And now, you can check your bodies to see the changes in the wounds."

"By the way, have a feel as to whether I did anything untoward to you guys last night."

Upon hearing this, the two girls were slightly stunned, Zhu Zhuyun was the first to react, she quickly raised her left hand and pulled up her sleeve, revealing her white and flawless pinky arm, which was smooth and glossy, not leaving even the slightest trace of a wound, and then she turned her head to look at Zhu Zhuqing, who did the same.

With a surprised look on her face, she gently moved her thighs and did not feel the slightest discomfort.

Her expression instantly turned a little complicated. Pursing her vermilion lips, she turned her head to look at Lin Manshan.

"It seems that you guys have already felt it, the injuries on your body have been completely healed." Saying this, Lin Manshan pointed to a pool of water at the side and continued, "Because there are simply too many wounds on your bodies, the water source that I am carrying on my body is not enough to clean all of them. Thus, last night, I could only bring you guys around to look for a water source, and by luck, I found this water pool."

"At that time, your clothes."

After a pause, Lin Manshan continued, "As you ran all the way, you touched quite a few poisonous plants on your bodies, as well as stained with many other things, and coupled with being drenched in sweat, it has already formed an obstacle to healing."

"Therefore, I have made a choice."

After saying that, he gazed straight at the two girls and said with a straight face, "Now, it's your turn to make a choice."

"And I have only found three choices for you both." Saying that Lin Manshan lifted his index finger and held it up, his tone filled with an unquestionable tone, as if this was not a discussion, but rather a notice, "Firstly, treat it as if nothing has happened. If you guys need it, I can escort you out of the Star Dou Great Forest and leave separately."

With that, he turned his head to look at Zhu Zhuyun.

"The clothes you are wearing are all from your spirit tool, and there are quite a few things inside that have the symbol of the Star Luo Empire. So, you guys should be from the Star Luo Empire. As for me, I'm from the Heaven Dou Empire, which means that after leaving the forest, we shouldn't be crossing paths again. So, you guys don't have to worry about seeing me in the future and dampening your moods. As for damaging your reputation, rest assured, that kind of villainous act, I won't bother to do it."

"Second." Lin Manshan's expression did not change as he continued, "Marry me! Although we have not interacted with each other before, as a male, I will vow to protect my wife to the death, and will not let you be bullied, nor will do anything untoward. This is my promise."

Looking at the two girls who had slightly lowered their heads, with different expressions on their faces, Lin Manshan slowly stood up, then turned around, and spoke in a bland voice, "Thirdly, suicide!"

"If you guys choose this, you can now proceed to write your suicide note. I've prepared snake soup by the campfire, but it's only enough for the two of you, so I'm going to go out to hunt now. When I return later, if you are not there, I will assume by default that you have chosen the first option."

"If you are still here, that will be the second option. If there are two corpses, I will properly collect your corpses and then try to fulfil your last wishes."

"Of course, you guys can also choose to work together to kill and silence me. However, before that, you better eat your bellies full first, that way, perhaps you still have a slight chance."

"By the way, my name is Ah Man."

After saying that, he left straight away.

Looking at the upright figure that disappeared between the branches with a few jumps, Zhu Zhuyun lowered her head and fell silent.

Then glancing at Zhu Zhuqing beside her, she lifted the blanket and walked to the campfire, picked up the two porcelain bowls on the ground, started to fill them, and carried them back to the front of the carpet.

"Zhu Zhuqing, drink."

With that, she gently placed it on her side.
