He didn't tell Lunxi that there was an antidote, simply because he didn't want her to know. So why? Since he can get the antidote, why doesn't he drink it himself? If there was something wrong with the antidote, why did you give it to your daughter? The complete antidote costs 3,000 Ferums per portion, which is a huge sum of money for civilians or ordinary adventurers, but just a drop in the bucket for nobles, so there is no reason for it to be in short supply. Even if the antidote is in short supply for some reason, why use the already scarce antidote to make tea? There are too many contradictions. "Oh... forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow." Qi Ji shook his head, "I see you are tired too." She noticed that Lunxi's mental state was not very good, his body was quite tired, and his eyes revealed an unconcealable sleepiness. No wonder. She got up early today and went to the South District to deal with the human traffickers, but she was dealt with by the traffickers and was hit by Danny's mind blast. It was not a pleasant experience.
In the evening, he had a big quarrel with his biological father and ended up parting on bad terms. It can be said that the stress she suffered today was a double blow both physically and mentally. Although as a supernatural being, his energy is much stronger than that of ordinary people, but he is not a monster like Qi Ji who can work day and night without any influence. He is exhausted by so many things. "All right……" Lunxi half-closed his eyes sleepily, took off his bathrobe, revealing the tight pajamas underneath, and climbed onto the bed and lay down. "You sleep, I'll sleep on the floor." Qi Ji put his legs back to normal position and was about to get out of bed. Suddenly I felt my shirt tighten. I turned around and saw Lunxi grabbing the corner of my shirt. His dark green eyes were looking at me reluctantly. "Just sleep here. My bed is big enough. It won't be crowded." ======================== Hot knowledge: Like can be clicked once every week~~ If you can give me some tickets or coupons, I will be very grateful (??▽??) Chapter 47 Second Night "Wow, Miss, we've only known each other for two days, do you really have to be so open?" Qi Ji said with a half-joking, half-helpless smile, "It's not good to sleep in the same bed with someone whose background is unknown, please respect yourself." Even though he had saved her twice in a row and they had been working together all day in the city, so their friendship was quite deep, but this attitude... was a bit too enthusiastic no matter how one looked at it. "Uh, you think too much." Lun Xi's cheeks turned slightly red and his eyes shifted away. "I just think it's too rude to let guests sleep on the floor..." Seeing her resentful look, Qi Ji couldn't bear to reject her forcefully. After thinking about it, I realized that since I couldn't sleep due to my special physical condition, why wouldn't it be harmful for me to lie down with her for a while? I just need to wait for her to fall asleep. It will only take an hour at most, which is not a problem at all with my amazing patience. "Okay, as long as you don't mind."
Qi Ji sighed, put the badge on the bedside table, moved his body to lie down near the bed, and pulled up a corner of the quilt to cover his chest. "Hehe, where is it?" Lunxi smiled as he tidied up the bedding. Then he reached out and pulled a rope at the head of the bed, and the main light controlled by a special mechanism went out. The bedroom suddenly fell into darkness. Qi Ji still had his hands on his stomach and closed his eyes to rest. Thinking back, I slept like this last night... Then I was caught up in a conspiracy whose full story is still unknown to this day. So many things happened in one day. It's amazing... Since she couldn't sleep anyway, she started to make plans for tomorrow in her mind. "First, take this badge and go find Team Frion. They seem to have come from another place with a caravan, so they should know more about this matter and maybe what this 'Saint Hydra Society' is." I remember Lina said that their caravan was temporarily stationed in the suburbs on the east side of the North District and would not leave for several days. "Then, check that kind?? Where to buy it... Oh, I actually forgot. I should have asked Lunxi just now... Forget it, she's already asleep, let's talk about it tomorrow." After finishing all this, it was probably almost night time. According to Ince's confession, he would most likely go to the "east end of 7th Street in the South District" at around 9 o'clock to report the situation to the liaison officer. We will go there and wait, and after Ins finishes his report, follow the contact person, and then - Huhhhhhh... "..." The silence in the bedroom lasted for a long time. Until the huge blue moon moved to the other side and the cold moonlight seeped in from the gap in the curtains, forming a bright line running through the bedroom, Lunxi let out a vague low moan from his throat, and then opened his eyes in a daze. Exhausted both physically and mentally, she fell asleep within a few minutes of lying down. It was now the middle of the night and she woke up for no reason, it was just a normal night wake-up call. She sat up slowly, rubbed her eyes, turned around and got out of bed, put on her slippers, and went into the bathroom. Two or three minutes later, Lunxi returned to the bedroom with wet hands, wiped his hands with the cotton cloth hanging by the toilet door, lay back on the bed with sleepy eyes and covered himself with the quilt. Half asleep and half awake, she turned her head and glanced at the side. The mysterious and incomparable girl was lying quietly on her back at this moment, her deep dark brown eyes were closed, and the corners of her rosy and tender lips were slightly turned down, as if she was still lost in thought even in her dream. The blue and white moonlight passed through the window, illuminating her whole body on the bed. Because it was early summer, the temperature at night was not low, so Lunxi's bedroom was equipped with thin bedding, and her tender but exquisite body was vaguely outlined. Her skin is as smooth as warm jade, soft and creamy, her cherry lips are red without any makeup, and she is so beautiful that she seems otherworldly. Combined with the shadow cast by the moonlight, it looks both playful and mysterious. Lunxi stared blankly at the peaceful and unique sleeping face, lost in thought and forgetting the time. "Xiao Qiji?" After a long time, she whispered tentatively.
"..." There was no response, only the long eyelashes trembled slightly with her breathing, and the tip of her straight and delicate nose glowed faintly in the moonlight. "Fell asleep……" Lunxi gently turned his body, supported his head with his hands on his temples, and stared at this beautiful painting with bated breath, motionless. "After falling asleep, she seems to be no different from an ordinary little girl..." Lunxi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This girl seemed delicate and fragile, as if she would be hurt if touched. Anyone who saw her would want to protect her well. Who would have thought that she had such power when she was awake? "Hmm... I'll take a closer look, should that be okay?" She put down her arms, lay on her side, and tried her best to avoid making too loud noises. She used her forearms to move her body very carefully, getting closer to Qi Ji little by little. "Really... so beautiful..." Looking at the absolutely beautiful girl so close to him, Lunxi felt an admiration from the bottom of his heart without any objection. The skin of ordinary people has more or less some flaws, which may be thick oiliness, enlarged pores, dull complexion, or mottled scars. Even though Lunxi, who is naturally beautiful and well-maintained, and is recognized as a great beauty by the powerful circles in Stio, does not dare to say that the skin on her face is flawless. If you look closely under your nose, you can still reveal a little flaw. Of course, no one has ever had this honor... But Qi Ji was absolutely different. She gave people the impression of being perfect to the extreme, with every inch of her skin and every facial feature being impeccable. Even the most critical critics could only remain silent in front of her. How could such a lovely person exist in the world? This was Lunxi's biggest puzzlement. After a few minutes, Lunxi couldn't help it anymore, and carefully stretched out a hand from under the quilt and reached out to Qi Ji's face. "I'm sorry... I just touched it for a moment..." Her heart was pounding wildly and she held her breath nervously, afraid that her frivolous behavior would wake Qi Ji up and ruin the beautiful scene. Finally, after a long movement, the slender white fingers gently touched the jade-like cheek like a feather falling. It was like a traveler who had been lost in the desert for weeks finding a drink of sweet spring water, like a drowning person sticking his head out of the water, like a wanderer suffering from the cold seeing a bonfire... It was as if all those who longed for hope finally got what they wanted. The wonderful, slightly cool touch emanated from the fingertips and rushed into Lunxi's heart in an instant. Soon, flowers bloomed and the whole world was filled with color. "By the grace of God..." As his fingers slid gently, feeling the perfectly proportioned lines on Qi Ji's face, Lun Xi suddenly felt the blood rushing from the soles of his feet to his forehead, and he felt so happy that he almost fainted. After taking his hand back, seeing that Qi Ji showed no signs of waking up, Lun Xi became a little bolder and moved his body even closer, with his entire body from chest to lower abdomen almost completely pressed against Qi Ji's side. A hand reached into the quilt, groped downwards, and finally reached Qi Ji's belly, holding the soft, boneless little hand. "I'm sorry, I hope I didn't disturb your sweet dreams..." She closed her eyes and buried her face deeply between Qi Ji's head and shoulders. She kissed her slender and tender neck with her lips. The pleasant fragrance lingering between her hair made her mood calmer, and the subtle breathing sound gave her a great sense of security. "Good night, Xiao Qiji~~" Gently holding the petite and lovely body in his arms, Lunxi felt sleepy, his consciousness gradually became blurred, and he slowly fell into a sweet dream. Thus, this bedroom that seemed isolated from the world returned to its ethereal tranquility.
========================= Originally this chapter had more words than it does now, but later on, in order to prevent the character setting from collapsing, I deleted and modified it a little before uploading...QAQ When I wrote the title of this chapter, I realized that less than two days had passed in the story... What a fulfilling life... Chapter 48 Rat Man's Report The time goes back to a few hours ago. A luxurious and spacious four-wheeled carriage, pulled by two horses, travels through the quiet and tidy streets of the central district. Amid the rumbling sound of wheels, the four-wheeled carriage finally stopped in front of a luxurious building as luxurious as a castle. A man who looked like a senior attendant was already waiting here. As soon as the carriage stopped, he stepped forward steadily and opened the door: "Master, welcome home. Are you enjoying the dinner?" Lanchester walked out of the door and stepped down the stairs of the carriage, his face not looking very happy. Without saying a word, he walked past the attendants and went straight to the main entrance of the building. There were four guards guarding the door. Seeing Lanchester coming back, the two guards closer to the door opened it respectfully. The interior of the building is magnificent, with a dazzling array of decorative ornaments. The duplex front hall makes the already extremely large mansion appear even more spacious. After entering the door, Lanchester took out a piece of folded parchment from the inner pocket of his suit jacket and spread it out. It was covered with densely printed words. “Finally I can watch it…” He eagerly and greedily read the contents of the parchment. This was the intelligence he had asked a friend nicknamed "Rat Man" to collect - the result of an investigation into Qi Ji's recent whereabouts in Stio. He was called a friend, but in fact he was just an acquaintance with whom he had had a few rounds of drinking and eating together. Lanchester was too lazy to even remember his real name. As the name suggests, this guy is a small gangster who is doing well in the South District. Lanchester must look down on such people. But it must be said that the sewer rats know the parts of a city that are not exposed to the sun better than anyone else. For something like this that cannot be made public, it is most appropriate to ask them to handle it. After he left Iris Manor, he asked the driver to drive to the southern end of the central area, which is close to the South District, before going home. Then he got out of the car and pretended to take some fresh air, but in fact he went to the place they had arranged last night to pick up the investigation report. On the way home, he was anxious and wanted to check the report as soon as possible. However, the light in the carriage was dim and the road was bumpy, so he couldn't see the text clearly. Now that I’m finally home, I can finally take a look at her and know everything about her! "...Killed a few robbers who were robbing in the East District? Tsk, that sounds like something she would do..." When Lanchester saw this message at the beginning, he immediately curled his lips in dissatisfaction. In his opinion, girls should stay at home and be pampered by men. Fighting and killing are too detrimental to their dignity, not to mention fighting with maggot-like creatures like bandits and robbers, which simply defiles their purity.
When I get it later, I must train it well... "Then he went to the guild... and defeated a warrior in the early stage of Righteous Mind with one strike?" He was not very surprised. He would not doubt that Qi Ji was very strong. After all, he saw with his own eyes that she crushed the skull ghost that he had fought hard for a long time and failed to defeat like crushing an ant. This kind of performance definitely requires mindfulness. If it is in the middle or late stage, it is not difficult to kill a warrior in the early stage of mindfulness in seconds when the opponent is off guard. Then he looked down and suddenly took a breath and exclaimed in disbelief:
