The Heroine and Villainess are Pregnant. What's Going On? - Chapter 43:

Chapter 43: In the End… Unable to Discover Any Clues About Him:

“Keep it. It might prove useful in the future,” Luo Xinli said slowly.

Su Su was taken aback. “Sister Luo, don’t you… need to enhance your strength?”

“I don’t need it.” Luo Xinli replied, gently shaking her head.

Perhaps, in the past, she would have needed it. But now, she didn’t.

What she needed now was to fight Ling Youruo, and ideally… to die in battle!

“Keep it for yourself, for someone who truly needs it.” Luo Xinli added with a soft smile.

At present, she had no other desires. All she sought was a battle with Ling Youruo, whether she won or lost—she would leave it to fate!

“Well…” Su Su hesitated.

In her opinion, Luo Xinli was the best candidate.

She hadn’t expected that Luo Xinli would refuse it. The Golden Blood Ginseng could indeed enhance one’s power and extend life!

“I did meet a very strange person before. If he had the Golden Blood Ginseng, it would have been worth trying. Unfortunately… he might already be dead!” Su Su continued. “His meridians were in such chaos, it was unprecedented!”

At Su Su’s words, Luo Xinli’s expression changed slightly.

“The person you’re talking about… is he someone who can only live until today?”

“Yes… Wait? How did you know, Sister Luo?” Su Su asked, tilting her head.

Luo Xinli’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be… that they were talking about the same person? The man she had met?

“Does he… like to drink alcohol a lot?” Luo Xinli asked next.

“Yes! He always seemed to want to get himself drunk!” Su Su nodded lightly.

“Does he look… only in his twenties or not yet thirty?” Luo Xinli continued.

“Yes! He’s not very old but acts like an old drunkard!” Su Su nodded again, then curiously asked, “Sister Luo, do you know him?”

At this, Luo Xinli’s heart tightened.

She could almost confirm that the person Su Su was describing was the same man she had met.

What was her relationship with him?

Acquaintance?

Sort of, but not quite. They had met by chance, but that was all.

She knew his appearance and what kind of person he was.

Unfortunately… she didn’t even know his name.

“Do you know… what his name is?” Luo Xinli asked softly.

If the man she had met was indeed the one Su Su described, then perhaps she could finally learn his name.

However, to her disappointment, Su Su shook her head. “I don’t know! I didn’t know him before. He just suddenly came to me asking for treatment!”

Su Su pouted and continued, “I told him that his meridians were in chaos and that nothing could save him. He wouldn’t live much longer!”

Hearing this, Luo Xinli’s heart sank further.

She only wanted to know his name, but even this simple request seemed to be beyond reach.

“So… you don’t know where he came from or what his status was?” Luo Xinli’s voice carried an indescribable sadness.

“Yes… I don’t know. I had never seen him before!” Su Su nodded lightly.

Upon hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on Luo Xinli’s pale face.

She took a deep swig from her wine jug, trying to drown her sorrow.

Her longing… ultimately could not find a home.

She was unable to uncover any clues about him.

Indeed, such a person, with unparalleled martial arts, would have no fame in the martial world.

He was likely a hidden master, and if he was hiding, how could anyone recognize him?

She would never even find his grave! She couldn’t even find a place to honor him!

“Sister Luo, when did you learn to drink?” Su Su asked curiously.

Luo Xinli used to avoid alcohol.

To her, it was nothing but a spicy beverage. Yet now, she drank it as if it were plain water. When had she learned to do this?

Luo Xinli couldn’t answer that question.

When had she learned?

It had been only in the past few days.

Since meeting that man.

Since she had taken the initiative to approach him.

And then… she had learned to drink.

Because the strong liquor was the only thing that could temporarily numb her unbearable loneliness.

After a bitter smile, Luo Xinli said softly, “Where is the Golden Blood Ginseng? Keep it with you. From now on, I will protect you until… the ninth day of September! Until… Longtan Mountain!”
