Su Bin was somewhat taken aback. “Wife, are you saying that you’ve always had feelings for me?”
This revelation puzzled him because he was well aware of the timeline when
his physical condition started to improve—the same period when his wife had provided him with the extraordinary substance.
Qin Zhenzhen hesitated. Originally, she had distributed spirit water to her entire family out of compassion when they were destitute. Additionally, she sought to atone for the sins of the original owner. However, revealing these reasons was not an option. While she could share the secret of her unique abilities with Su Bin, disclosing the concept of transmigration was a delicate matter she wanted to avoid.
Rather than disclosing the full truth, Qin Zhenzhen chose to mislead him, suggesting a fortuitous encounter in her dreams.
Remaining silent, Qin Zhenzhen allowed Su Bin to interpret it as an unspoken affirmation and accepted his tighter embrace.
Upon reflection, Su Bin acknowledged his earlier lack of understanding. Fortunately, he had wisened up early and recognized the extraordinary qualities of his fairy-like wife.
However, he couldn’t help but wonder about the odd decision to mold his wife into someone universally disliked. If she had remained stupid, fat, greedy, and lazy, it would have been improbable for him to develop affection for her.
This realization left Su Bin perplexed. His wife’s grandmother, concerned about her being taken to the capital by the Jiang family, had advised her to cultivate unfavorable traits. This seemed like a misguided attempt to ruin her prospects, as it would make her undesirable for marriage.
If Su Bin had been so determined to shape his wife’s destiny and prevent her from being manipulated by the Jiang family, why did she, later on, strive to lose weight, enhance her beauty, and reveal all her extraordinary abilities without restraint?
These contradictions left Su Bin with a sense of bewilderment.
It was crucial to note that during that period, Su Bin had not yet been intimate with his wife. They were on the verge of divorce, and she had even initiated discussions about ending their marriage.
Moreover, the sudden transformation in his wife’s personality remained a perplexing mystery to him.
As Su Bin tightly embraced Qin Zhenzhen, she reciprocated with a reassuring pat on his back.
“Alright, alright! No need to be so moved. It’s not like I’m exclusively providing it for you. Your entire family consumes it regularly, even your Second Brother at the military camp. I’ve added some body-strengthening pills for him.”
Su Bin, regaining his composure, suddenly had a thought. “Wife, will this have any impact on your health?”
Qin Zhenzhen shook her head. “As of now, there don’t seem to be any adverse effects, but I haven’t used it in large quantities.”
Su Bin inquired further, “Can this Immortal Water be produced whenever you want?”
Qin Zhenzhen nodded. “Yes.”
“It’s truly magical. Were you born with this ability?”
Oin Zhenzhen shook her head. “No.”
She proceeded to share the fabricated explanation she had devised long ago.
“Remember the incident in Qian Family Village? I fell in the courtyard, lost consciousness, and bled profusely, but I unexpectedly woke up unharmed.” Su Bin nodded. “I remember.”
“After that episode, I discovered this remarkable substance on my finger. It not only stops bleeding but also alleviates pain and accelerates wound healing.”
“It seemed like a miraculous occurrence, and I readily accepted it at the time. I didn’t perceive myself as a freak but rather as someone blessed by the gods.”
“Do you recall that I mentioned having a lengthy dream during that fainting spell?”
Su Bin released his embrace, listening intently and observing her with quiet curiosity.
Qin Zhenzhen appeared somewhat solemn, and the sincerity in her demeanor convinced him of the truth.
“I ventured into a fantastical realm in my dream. The inhabitants mirrored us in appearance and spoke the same language.”
“Yet, their clothing differed from ours, and their perspectives diverged..
They’ve essentially attained gender equality and equality for everyone…”
