Chapter 341 192: Would Marrying Lu Make Everything Okay? (Part 3)
Originally, she did think that way.
Having lived over a hundred years without knowing anything about male-female relations is quite common among the Elf Race.
... Easier to fool.
Lu Xun said it was fine and normal, and she believed him.
But last night, she consulted a married female elder in the clan, describing the details of the "curse removal" at that time.
The elder fell silent upon hearing it.
After a long while, she gave a deep sigh and commented, "You youngsters sure know how to play."
Then Wei'Er was extremely shocked to learn that what she and Lu Xun did constituted a high degree of physical intimacy, nearly amounting to "the realities of marriage."
Lu Xun didn't trick her on purpose.
The main thing was, it was the only way to save her life at that time.
Moreover, time was of the essence; she only had a few seconds to live. After seeking her consent and getting her approval, Lu Xun didn't think much and immediately used the "Gluttony" ability to erase the curse sigil.
Anyway, as a young elf, Wei'Er didn't understand much about male-female relations. The clan held conservative thoughts, reluctant to teach enlightenment on these matters, leaving one to realize it themselves.
As long as there was no understanding, there wouldn't be any awkwardness.
In a few hundred years, even if she knew, she likely wouldn't dwell on these bygone affairs, especially since it was an act of saving her life, trivial matters, not worth mentioning.
However, since Wei'Er was diligent and inquisitive, the more she thought about it afterwards, the more something felt off, so last night she inquired with an elder and learned the truth.
That's something only couples do!
So now her feelings are very conflicted.
On one hand, she was very grateful to Lu Xun for saving her life.
On the other hand, regarding the "loss of chastity" issue, she wanted to forget but couldn't... because the novel experience at that time was deeply etched.
So now she finds it hard to face Lu Xun.
Not seeing him is better; it only occasionally brings back memories of the scene.
But once they meet, the images in her mind become overwhelmingly vivid.
'If Lu and I were married, there wouldn't be this awkwardness.' Wei'Er couldn't help but let the thought bubble up in her mind.
Then she quickly shook her head, casting aside that strange notion.
The union of humans and elves cannot be happy; that's a fundamental knowledge.
Marriages between Longevity Species and Short-Lived Species ultimately end in tragedy, as countless historical examples have proven.
Lu is human, aging rapidly and having a very short lifespan.
Just imagine, after closing up for cultivation for decades, the once charming lover would have already become an old and feeble elder.
What a sorrowful sight, what happiness could there be?
Even with various life-extending methods, humans can only extend their lifespan to a few hundred years at most.
And elves, living thousands of years is simple and easy.
Even if Lu Xun and Wei'Er both agreed to live in the present and engage in a forbidden love, both their parents and elders would strongly oppose it, not allowing them to make such a big mistake.
Therefore, she and Lu are impossible.
Marriage is a significant life event, and it's best to remain true to one person forever.
She can't harm Lu... even though Wei'Er feels she has a fondness for Lu.
"Ahem."
Lu Xun, having eavesdropped on Wei'Er's emotional journey for a while, couldn't hold back and cleared his throat, speaking to her:
"Sorry, I didn't consider everything before. Um... it's like this, Wei'Er, while appraising an ancient text, I once saw a special secret technique that can block memories. If you really feel that the matter is unbearable and unacceptable, I can help you forget them."
If not absolutely necessary, he'd never use domineering means like Mind Control, Memory Modification, or Possessing the Body on his own family, friends, or acquaintances, preferring to adopt more gentle methods.
For example, that time with Ding Xuezhu was a special case. Even so, Lu Xun still explained everything before doing anything to Ding Xuezhu, and he only blocked two years of her memories, not deleting them permanently.
Against enemies, he can use any means, anything and everything, without the slightest mercy.
But with those around him, Lu Xun has principles and boundaries.
Otherwise, there's no need to find reasons like "ancient secret techniques" and just take action, right?
One shouldn't let desires balloon without limits just because they've become strong, nor act recklessly and overpoweringly, losing respect even for family and friends from when they were insignificant.
Such a person is just a puppet controlled by power.
"No... there's no need. Lu, I'm fine."
Upon hearing his suggestion, Wei'Er's eyelashes quivered, pressing her lips, she softly said:
"It's not unbearable to recall... and not that serious. I can face it; there's no need to forget. I just... need some time to quietly listen to my own heart. You don't need to worry about me."
"Okay."
Lu Xun nodded and said, "Then you take your time to listen. I'll go home first."
Staying here would only make Wei'Er more confused and unable to be calm.
Such a small matter indeed doesn't require intervention; she'll return to normal after a while.
"Wait a second!"
Suddenly, a skeleton hand swiftly reached out and grabbed Lu Xun's arm.
Wuer, with a blank face, urgently asked:
"What was the event too unbearable to recall? Brother Lu, what happened between you and Wei'Er? Quick, tell me, it's urgent! There's definitely something going on between you two."
"Come clean, if we're brothers, you can't hide from me!"
"Scram, scram, matters of adults, kids don't ask." Lu Xun rolled his eyes, "Continue with your studies, I'm leaving, see you another day."
After saying that, regardless of Wuer's curiosity, he strode out and disappeared at the classroom door.
Where would Wuer give up? Ignoring the itch in its heart, it turned to ask Wei'Er classmate.
But it was even more impossible for Wei'Er to say anything.
"Da Gu classmate, I'm sorry, I really can't tell you."
Wei'Er shook her head and seriously admonished, "You're still young, only 12 years old. At your age, it's not the time to understand these things."
Wuer: "???
