PNB Chapter 14 Is he really asleep or just pretending to be asleep?
Chapter 14 Is he really asleep or just pretending to be asleep?
It was late at night.
Li Xingzhou lay in bed staring at the ceiling in the dark, unable to fall asleep.
How could an older sister with abilities related to time and space not use that power to find her missing younger brother?
Jiang Wanzhao was not born powerful. How could he not suffer a backlash if he prematurely overdraws such powerful strength?
Leaving aside space, time alone is not something that can be manipulated at will.
Li Xingzhou himself understood time and space; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to find his way home.
"The Chief of Staff has been investigating the past and looking into the future for you, even mortgaging the power of the future to investigate the past. What gives you the right to act this way?"
Therefore, Li Qing'an understood how heavy Tang Yao's later explanation was.
No wonder when examining her pulse, it was discovered that the spiritual energy remaining in her body was almost stagnant.
The remaining spiritual energy is difficult to create new spiritual energy, and the newly absorbed spiritual energy is converted into spiritual energy that can be used by oneself at an extremely slow speed.
It gives the impression of a child who has forgotten the past and is groping for the future.
Clearly, the older sister's body was affected by the disordered power of time due to her misuse of time when she was weak.
I should have realized this sooner.
How could a sister with extraordinary powers just sit idly by?
Just like when I was stranded in a foreign land, I did not feel sorry for myself.
Yes, a new struggle has begun!
Before, I fought to see my sister; now I fight for my sister's health!
Having identified the root cause of the problem, Li Xingzhou began to ponder.
He knows a lot, and his memory is still fresh.
After cultivating immortality, having a photographic memory is indeed a very satisfying skill.
"Sailing..."
Li Xingzhou, who was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, froze when he heard the rambling in his sleep beside him.
After a slight turning motion, a pair of long, slender, white legs suddenly came into view, curled up and draped over his body.
From the hips to the ankles, the lines are delicate and symmetrical, without any hard bones or veins that would ruin the beauty.
Her delicate, slender feet slid down his calves, her heels, with their alluring orange-pink sheen, were warm, smooth, and supple, without a trace of roughness.
Her slightly curled toes were long, rounded, and translucent, as smooth and lustrous as jade.
Li Xingzhou glanced at it subconsciously, then quickly looked away; the nightgown was already up to her thighs…
Ignoring the darkness is a bit of a problem.
Why is Jiang Wanzhao by my side?
Because she realized that Tang Yao could no longer hide it, she wanted to explain in person.
Li Xingzhou did not refuse.
Or perhaps I never considered refusing, because it was a habit.
How strict was Jiang Wanzhao back then?
Because he was afraid that Jiang Wanzhao would sneak out to play during the midday break instead of sleeping, or that he would fall asleep in class in the afternoon, he was always held by Jiang Wanzhao for a nap even after he entered high school.
A habit formed purely through innate.
But now, I'm not quite used to it.
Li Xingzhou gently turned his head to look, and what came into view was a delicate body, faintly visible, like white jade.
Her slender waist and narrow, rounded hips were visible, and along the curves of her waist, the neckline of her nightgown revealed a deep, white shadow, while her delicate collarbones rose and fell gently with her breath.
Following the slender, fair neck upwards, there is a stunningly beautiful face half-hidden by thick, long hair.
His brows didn't show any sharpness; instead, they were filled with a reassuring gentleness.
Compared to the sleeping Jiang Wanzhao in my memory, she now exudes a more mature charm, an indescribable allure.
Li Xingzhou looked thoughtfully at the delicate and graceful face, but didn't have any other thoughts. He just suddenly thought it was really great that his sister was a top student.
Otherwise, his body would have collapsed long ago due to the disruption of time.
Li Xingzhou felt a little better. He was glad he was back and that there was a way to make amends.
Unable to fall asleep, he decided to get up.
At this moment, he had two treatment ideas for Jiang Wanzhao's body in mind, but because they had not yet been organized into a system, one was empty and the other was also empty.
We need to find Liu Ying to get Jiang Wanzhao's prescriptions from all these years.
"Xingzhou, promise your sister you won't leave her without a word again..."
Li Xingzhou, who was carefully pushing Jiang Wanzhao's knee away, paused and turned to look at Jiang Wanzhao suspiciously.
Was she really asleep or just pretending to be asleep?
Li Xingzhou stared at her for a long time. After they went inside and talked about her symptoms, Jiang Wanzhao had been listening to her younger brother talk about the past.
However, Li Xingzhou recounted less than a third of what had happened in the past eighteen years before Jiang Wanzhao became drowsy due to her weak constitution.
So, they were probably really asleep.
Li Xingzhou got out of bed.
Because my body feels a bit hot.
It's really strange. I don't have any strange thoughts in my mind, so why is my body craving it first?
Is Xuan feeling repressed?
Li Xingzhou closed the door, and Jiang Wanzhao on the bed turned over, thinking he was really being honest...
Knowing that escaping is a good thing means it shows she sees herself as a woman.
A good start.
……
A gentle evening breeze blew, but it was still very hot for Li Xingzhou under the eaves. Summers after the spiritual energy revival were far hotter than before, sometimes exceeding 100 degrees Celsius during the dog days of summer.
In short, don't come to the grand stage of Xuanhuang if you're not prepared.
The so-called "hanging" is awakening.
Li Xingzhou, who can only mobilize his primordial energy now, is not quite used to it, because his fellow villager's path is not only perfect, but can be said to be almost perfect.
Therefore, he, who was already prone to feeling hot, couldn't suppress the restlessness in his body for a while.
Until I saw Liu Ying hurrying into the courtyard.
As Liu Ying walked, she tapped a few times on the blue screen in front of her...
Ok?
I can see that this isn't some kind of system.
Li Xingzhou flashed to Liu Ying's side: "Where's the prescription?"
"Ah!" Liu Ying shuddered. "You scared me half to death in the middle of the night."
As she spoke, she took out a stack of prescriptions from the storage ring on her index finger: "Here are the prescriptions from the past twenty years. Take your time to look through them."
Liu Ying did not hide anything. After the Chief of Staff made some deductions, she was hoping that Li Xingzhou would use the prescription to plot against the Chief of Staff. In this way, the Chief of Staff would definitely not be lenient with him just because he looked like "Li Xingzhou".
"Thanks." Li Xingzhou put it away and pointed to the blue screen in front of her: "What's this?"
"Virtual Reality Window." Liu Ying took out her phone from her pocket: "It's one of the essential functions of mobile phones nowadays."
Li Xingzhou blinked, feeling a sense of disconnection from society.
Observing Li Xingzhou's expression, Liu Ying became even more certain that this kid was indeed the 'summoned beast' that the Chief of Staff had guessed.
Otherwise, how could they be completely ignorant of the products of the new era?
"The Chief of Staff's study is over there," Liu Ying pointed in a direction. "You can go there to find out more."
Li Xingzhou nodded, then turned and walked towards the study without saying another word.
Liu Ying looked away, staring at the virtual window flashing a green phone number, and tapped to answer.
"Secretary Liu, Jiang Lang and his daughter are on their way to the Jiang residence."
"They're well-informed," Liu Ying said with amusement. "No need to stop them, let them come."
"Yes."
Liu Ying hung up the phone, and Li Xingzhou's voice, tinged with coldness, rang out: "Jiang Lang? That old Bi Deng is still alive?"
He remembered that name very well.
“That’s right, your fourth uncle…” Liu Ying looked at Li Xingzhou, her voice suddenly becoming strange, as if she was suppressing a laugh: “Not only is he alive, but he has also become a remarkable magician because of his faith in the Skywing Clan. Well, his whole family are believers.”
