PNB Chapter 128 So embarrassing
Chapter 128 So embarrassing
Chapter 128 is so awkward!
When Xiao Chong woke up again, it was already broad daylight. The bright sunlight shone into the room, making it difficult for him to open his eyes for a moment.
After a while, once his eyes had adjusted to the light in the room, Xiao Chong realized that he had been carried back to the camp and was lying in his own room.
In a corner of the room, Yin Feng was sitting with Situ Jiannan and his sister on either side of a long table, drinking tea and talking in hushed tones, their conversation unreadable.
His mind was empty; the arrow formed from his divine consciousness had drained away every last drop of the mental energy he had accumulated during this time.
The area between my eyebrows was also throbbing painfully; even the slightest movement felt like it was being sawed open, making it difficult to even think clearly.
"Ok!"
Xiao Chong braced himself against the bed with his arms, trying to sit up, but as soon as he raised half his head, he groaned and fell heavily back onto the bed.
The muffled groan startled Yin Feng and the others who were chatting. The three of them turned around at the same time and saw that Xiao Chong had woken up, so they rushed over.
Yin Feng and Situ Jiannan were alright. Although they were happy, they stood quietly not far from the bed, looking at Xiao Chong with smiles on their faces.
Situ Mingyue was already incredibly excited.
She strode to Xiao Chong's bedside, bent down, and asked repeatedly like a newlywed wife caring for her husband, "You're awake? Are you feeling better? Would you like some water?"
Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!
After being cheated out of his benefits one after another, Xiao Chong instinctively felt that Situ Mingyue was after him, and quickly shrank back warily.
This way of treating guests might be seen as a cold reception by others, but Situ Mingyue didn't mind at all. Instead, she leaned forward and lowered her head even further, almost touching Xiao Chong's forehead.
"Little brother Xiao, your sister is just worried about you. What are you afraid of? Do you think your sister would eat you?"
Situ Mingyue's breath was as fragrant as orchids, and her laughter was gentle. Her expression was dignified and composed, like that of a lady from a noble family, but the tone of her voice was just like that of a seductive fox spirit who wanted to steal people's life force.
Xiao Chong wanted to shrink back further, but the bed was too small, leaving him nowhere to retreat, and he had no choice but to face the bed directly. At the same time, he secretly pondered how to figure out the strange situation before him.
Unfortunately, his mind was severely depleted at the moment, like someone recovering from a serious illness, and he was unable to concentrate no matter what. His mind was filled with nonsensical thoughts.
You used to always call me "Brother Xiao," so why are you calling me "Little Brother" today? You can't just use the word "Little Brother" carelessly; it'll cause big trouble if you encounter a "Little Sister."
And if you're going to talk, why do you have to stand so close? Don't you know that you're blocking the light?
Huh? No! Even though the light is blocked, why do I feel my blood surging and unbearably hot? And why is there a patch of snow-white light, even more dazzling than sunlight, flashing in front of my eyes, threatening to blind me?
Xiao Chong involuntarily reached out, wanting to move that snow-white skin away, but he didn't notice that Situ Mingyue's beautiful face had begun to darken.
Hmm? You're getting bolder and bolder! The first two times, although you looked and rubbed, it could be said to be unintentional. What is this time? Trying to force yourself on me in front of everyone?
"Slap!" Situ Mingyue slapped Xiao Chong's evil hand away, her pretty face turning as purple as a pig's liver.
Startled by the blow, Xiao Chong quickly withdrew his hand, ending his blissful state of being lost in the world.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed, from boundless ambiguity to endless awkwardness.
Situ Jiannan's face turned ashen, his knuckles cracking as he barely managed to restrain himself from drawing his sword on the spot.
Seeing the two streams of bright red blood slowly trickling down Xiao Chong's nose, he finally understood why his sister had lost her temper when the other party came to visit last time.
It's ridiculous that I thought I was hit by wood chips! And it's infuriating that I even insisted on going to take a look! What a mess of a thing!
If Xiao Chong hadn't saved his sister's life in the battle against the Blood-Patterned Ants, Situ Jiannan would have been tempted to cleave his opponent in two with a single sword strike.
Yin Feng's expression was also rather unpleasant. This wasn't because he felt any sense of justice, but because he was genuinely ashamed of Xiao Chong's disgraceful behavior.
My dear young master Chong, and respected Captain Xiao, could you possibly be any more pathetic?
We're all young people, it's normal for us to be hot-blooded, and we can all understand that. But did we have to be so blatant about it? If word gets out, how will we, as his subordinates, face the world?
Even if you really like this girl, could you find a secluded place and secretly do it with her?
If it's inconvenient for you to show your face, then I'll help you. A quick, surprise attack, and nobody's aware of it—wouldn't that be great? What is a subordinate? Isn't it someone who solves problems for their superior?
Yin Feng's thoughts wandered further and further, completely unaware that he had been led astray by Xiao Chong.
For a moment, apart from the loud slapping sound, the room was silent, and all four of them remained silent.
How embarrassing! To break the awkward situation, Xiao Chong grabbed a bed sheet and wiped his nose haphazardly.
Wiping the blood from his nose, he said, "I didn't expect the mental impact from the Star Soul Beast to be so powerful. I'm still feeling erratic and bleeding profusely from the shock!"
What kind of talk is this? Are you trying to fool us like we're three-year-olds? The other three people all turned their attention to Xiao Chong's face, but Xiao Chong pretended not to see them.
Okay, shameless and invincible. Anyway, if this gets out of hand, it'll ruin everyone's reputation, so we'll just take your word for it. The three of them hung their heads, dejected, and gave up one by one.
Let's put the ambush behind us and get down to business. You siblings couldn't have really come here for tea out of sheer boredom, could you?
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room had eased somewhat, Xiao Chong stood up and chuckled twice, asking, "Brother Jiannan, if there's anything you two need to say, please speak frankly. My injuries haven't healed yet, so I shouldn't sit for too long. I still need to recuperate."
"Hmph!" Situ Jiannan snorted coldly and turned his head away, not even glancing at Xiao Chong. He couldn't stand the other man's hypocritical face, as he hated evil as if it were his enemy.
Situ Mingyue, on the other hand, acted very magnanimously, as if she had forgotten the unpleasantness just now, and asked, "To be honest, why is your camp so clean, as if you're about to run away?"
There's no point in hiding this. Regarding the beast tide being manipulated, things are no longer just speculation; there's now concrete evidence.
Xiao Chong didn't care whether others left or not, but he was determined to leave, and the sooner the better, perhaps on the verge of doing so.
Therefore, Xiao Chong readily revealed his escape plan and explained the reason for the beast tide.
Of course, he only gave this reason as a guess. But even so, it left the Situ siblings speechless with astonishment.
