<h4>Chapter 260 It’s Not A Shame to Have Dreams</h4>


    Will the two vampires get angry?


    Lin Luoran has nothing to worry about. In fact, she wants them to get angry. It’s good that they stop pretending to be friendly and go in different ways.


    However, Crystal doesn’t even frown. She raises her eyebrows and says, “We have the technology back in Europe and you take care of the prescriptions. Are you really not interested in a monopolistic international pharmaceutical factory?”


    To monopolize the international market? This is never Lin Luoran’s dream... If monopolizing the international market means to give the prescription of her ancestors to malicious foreign people, Lin Luoran would rather burn the prescriptions down. Even if someone tells her that she will be able to save the world, she wouldn’t care much. She grows in the State of Huaxia and she loves the country. She is not an ambitious person and she doesn’t have the energy or the wish to save the world... People say that the State of Huaxia has started to subsidize dropout children in Africa. What about the uneducated Huaxia kids who live in the mountains? Why no other countries ever offer their help?


    When Lin Luoran was a college student, one of her politic teachers once said that Lin Luoran was a narrow-minded nationalist. Lin Luoran never said a word to exin herself.


    Yuan Ye pouts, “Our country is wide and many outstanding men live here. We don’tck talents who are skillful at making medicines. You think too highly of your technology.” These bat-monsters dare to take part in the business of the pharmaceutical factory. Yuan Ye thinks that things may not be so simple.


    Lin Luoran stands up and says, “It’s quitete. Sorry to disturb your party. For public or private reasons, I won’t agree to your proposal. I think you should never bring it up again. Yuan Ye, let’s go.” Lin pushes the chair away and walks to Yuan Ye. The two guards standing behind Yuan Ye step back because of Lin Luoran’s imposing manner.


    Riddickughs. He hides his face in his arms and his shoulders shiver.


    Crystal suddenly says in a sweet voice, “What should I do? I just be more interested in you. Let’s leave the pharmaceutical factory. Do you want to give another consideration in bing my soulmate? We’ll have equal status and power, and you and I will be living together in this world forever. Isn’t this what you Huaxia cultivators pursue?”


    Lin Luoran bursts out ofughing. She stops walking and says, “Live forever? Let’s not about the number of your people who have lived from ancient times till now. If the cost of being immortal is to be with a person like you, I’d rather die immediately. You’re just a bunch of ghosts who live in the dark. You can’t even walk in the sunshine for long. How dare you talk about the soul? So ridiculous!”


    Riddick’s shoulders are shivering more severely and hisughter bes louder. Dana was right. This eastern female cultivator is like Crystal’s weak point. Crystal has be speechless so many times tonight, which is so unusual and so cute... “Bang— ” It’s the sound of the sword hitting the dinner table. The table made of solid wood breaks down from where Riddick lies and the bowls and tes scatter on the ground. Riddick retrieves on the chair until he is against the wall. Riddick’s sleeve is cut open and his gold cufflink drops on the ground. Riddick’s smile freezes.


    Lin Luoran’s attack came so quickly without any sign. If her target was not the table but Riddick, he would be in so much danger even if he could dodge.


    “Let’s go!” Lin Luoran ignores Crystal and Riddick. She takes Yuan Ye, who is still immersed in the power of her sword. The Bright sword swirls in Lin’s right hand and its glow is ice blue. The vampires are frightened by Lin’s imposing manner and none of them dares to step forward and stop them.


    Lin Luoran never takes the cheap mask off of her face. Her gold long dress is wlessly elegant. Lin walks straight and upright, so does Yuan Ye. Lin’s dress drags on the floor like dazzling golden sand. The ball has long since been over because of Li Xi’er and the others. The neon lights are still shining and the white mist hasn’t dispersed. The vampires can’t even look at Lin Luoran directly.


    Lin Luoran and Yuan Ye walk steadily to the yard without any danger.


    Suddenly, a person rushes out. Her face is pale because of the excessive loss of blood and tears are swirling in her eyes. It’s the actress!


    Lin Luoran assumes that the actress is going to beg to take her along. However, the actress points at Lin and says angrily, “How could you... How could you refuse to be my master’s soul mate? It’s immortality! How could you say no to forever youth...?”


    Lin Luoran is disappointed. Sheughs,


    “Soul mate? Do you even have a soul?”


    You’ve given up your dignity and be a blood ve of the vampires in order to gain the so-called forever youth. You’re not even in the position of talking about the soul.


    The actress is in a daze. She lets Lin Luoran walk past her. Lin’s golden dress dazzles her eyes. When Lin and Yuan are at the gate, the actress creeps on the ground and weeps, “It’s not my fault... I don’t want to do stic surgeries but I want to be young forever. Why am I wrong?”


    Lin Luoran and Yuan Ye ride on the Bright Sword and fly into the sky.


    With a sh of ice blue glow, the two of them fly away in seconds.


    Crystal is confused, “Riddick, Lin has made a lot of progress. The spells and flying swords of Huaixa are magical. I really feel concerned about our future.”


    Riddick is surprised that his younger sister can be this sensible. Though vampires don’t ever feel cold, Riddick puts a coat over Crystal’s shoulders and says, “We’vee here for a better future, right?”


    Crystal’s face twists and says resentfully to the bat, which is standing by the window, “We’ve taken the risk ande here. We’ve vited the rules. You’ve seen the power of Huaxia cultivators. If you’ve lied to me, I’ll kill you and make sure you suffer!”


    The bat grooms its thin hair and holds on tight to the windowsill like it doesn’t even hear Crystal’s threats.


    The earth used to be the bat’s homnd.


    And its dream is to help the blood bats return to the earth.


    *************


    Lin Luoran calls home and tells everyone that she is safe. She doesn’t return immediately. Instead, she flies to Mount Qingcheng along with Yuan Ye.


    When the sword flies over Qingcheng Taoist Temple, Liu Zheng wakes up from his meditation.


    Why is she here now? Liu Zheng changes clothes and sees the swordnd at the medicine base. He thinks for a while and goes out, leaving the door half-closed.


    It’s night. Wood Reiki is nourishing the seedlings all the time. Light in the guard room is still on. Except for the asional barks of the hound, the entire base is quiet.


    Yuan Ye stands by Lin Luoran’s side in silence. He can feel that something is wrong with her mood.


    Is it because of the Huaxia woman who is willing to be the ve of the vampires? Yuan Ye knows that this is not the best time to pursue the answer. Maybe Lin Luoran just needs silence to think.


    “Yuan Ye, why do you like making medicines?”


    Emm? Is she talking about the powders? Yuan Ye thinks. Yuan’s master, who had passed away, used to scold Yuan for trying to make medicines in such a bad environment. His master thought that it was impossible to make Foundationying Bolus and Yuan should focus on practicing sword to cultivate himself. Does his new master believe that these powders can be considered as medicines?


    Yuan Ye doesn’t give an answer. Lin Luoranughs gently, “Years ago when I first started to cultivate, my goal was to get rich by telling jade from stone. Then I wished to get physically strong... Later, Iid the foundation. I was poor and ugly. I didn’t have a bachelor’s degree. I could never go to the ces I wanted and I couldn’t afford the things I liked. No one could believe that I can ride on a sword and travel all over the world now. I eat food filled with Reiki and my pharmaceutical factory has drawn the attention of another species. Yuan Ye, I’m telling you this not to show off, but to tell you that it’s not a shame to have dreams.”


    It’s not a shame to have dreams. The difference is that some people would sell their souls and some would work hard and persist.


    Liu Zheng walks fast. He hears Lin Luoran’s words on his way — It’s not a shame to have dreams? Liu Zheng repeats the sentence in his heart and he is stunned.
