Chapter: 5653

And that phrase "slave" used by ancient Chinese women to refer to themselves has made Ye Chen feel that Lin Wan'er was like a small cat lying on the ground, exposing her biggest secret and weakness all at once.

Lin Wan'er saw that Ye Chen was still unable to regain his composure from extreme shock, so she said apologetically: "Please forgive me, noble sir. I didn't mean to startle you. Since you asked, I couldn't tell a lie, so I had to speak the truth..."

He took a deep breath and looked at Lin Wan'er, asking calmly: "Are you from over three hundred years ago, or did you live through all those years until today?"

Lin Wan'er replied: "I've lived until today."

Ye Chen was still in shock, muttering to himself: "Three hundred years ago, you were watching that tea tree in Xiangnan, going through tribulations... That... That's how old you are now?"

Lin Wan'er said seriously: "Noble sir, I was born during the Southern Ming period and the Qing dynasty's Shunzhi era, which is equivalent to 1646 according to the Gregorian calendar."

Ye Chen's mind was reeling.

According to this age, Lin Wan'er could be considered as his ancestor-level. The Ye family records had never recorded anyone older than her!

So Ye Chen exclaimed: "1646... That means you're almost four hundred years old now?"

Lin Wan'er burst out laughing and placed her hands together at her waist, bowing slightly to Ye Chen, saying respectfully: "You don't have to address me as 'you' or 'older sister', just call me Lin Wan'er."

"Not... not... "Ye Chen said sincerely: "You're almost four hundred years old now... I'm even hesitant to call you 'grandfather'!"

Lin Wan'er smiled and said seriously: "From my perspective, I'm just a young girl who's growing up, not an old witch who's long since dead. Although I have indeed lived for nearly four hundred years, but in my heart, I am still seventeen..."

"Oh... um..." Ye Chen suddenly fell into an awkward situation, with two voices in his mind fiercely arguing at this moment.

One voice said: "She's right. Although she has lived for nearly 400 years, but she's always been a young girl of 17 or 18..."

Another voice said: "But she's almost 400 years old! What concept is that? You're not even 30 yet, Ye Chen!"

Ye Chen worried about getting tangled up in this mess and quickly shook his head, casting aside these thoughts. He then asked Lin Wan'er again: "You..."

As soon as the word came out of his mouth, he clearly saw a faint look of unease on Lin Wan'er's brow, so he hastily changed his words to: "I mean, I want to ask you..."

Lin Wan'er's unease immediately vanished, and she smiled sweetly, asking with a blush: "What do you want to say, noble young master? Your humble servant is listening."

Ye Chen was shocked and asked: "How can you remain so youthful despite having lived for 400 years?! You even look like you're not yet 18... Even if you've been taking Revive Elixir all this time, it's impossible to turn back the clock!"

Lin Wan'er quickly explained: "Noble young master is mistaken. I'm not turning back the clock; I've just been this way since I was 17. My appearance and physical body have remained the same for over 300 years without aging."

Ye Chen was even more shocked and blurted out: "How... how is that possible?! You don't know any spiritual energy, and even if you do, it's impossible to maintain eternal youth..."

Lin Wan'er replied: "If noble young master has practiced his cultivation and hasn't heard of the Elixir of Eternal Youth, perhaps..."

Ye Chen shook his head: "I've never heard of... what kind of effects does this elixir have?"

Lin Wan'er spoke sincerely: "The Elixir of Eternal Youth, taken afterwards, can extend one's life to five hundred years. Within the first four hundred years, one's appearance and physical body remain youthful, and I'm taking it, which is why I'm still alive today."

Ye Chen widened his eyes: "Is there such a miraculous elixir?!" JrNovels.com
