Chapter 16 Chapter 16

Speaking of which, there are quite a few mythical characters with healing abilities, but I don’t know which one will be easier to pass the God Tower certification.

Xuanyin looked up existing healing divine robes and divinely possessed physicians online. After a long moment, she pondered, "So that's how it is."

"What what?" The system came over.

Xuanyin said, "Borrowing divine power comes at a price. The price of possessing a divine warrior is one's own lifespan and health, while using divine power for treatment requires both the doctor and the patient to pay a price."

"Ah? What's the price the patient has to pay?"

Xuanyin didn't answer. She supported her chin and looked at the sky outside the window. The wind blew her long hair, and the sunlight shone through the window leaves onto her pale face, making her skin bright and translucent.

The system stared at its host infatuatedly.

Ever since she confessed her complicated background, she stopped pretending to be a newbie and seemed like a different person in private. The aura she exuded when she was sitting alone in deep thought seemed as if countless years had passed through her.

Fleeting glimpses, the baptism of time, there is a kind of sedimented power in the bones.

but……

The system rolled in the air: "Well, let me remind you, you used all your money to buy medicinal herbs. There are only a few thousand left in your account. Soon you won't even have money for a hotel room."

Xuanyin: “…”

Xuanyin withdrew her gaze from the window and sighed, "I understand."

She lowered her head and started painting.

"Which mythological figure do you want to be? He Xiangu? You actually chose this one. Isn't this the weakest one here?"

“I just want a weak, strong character. I’m in reality right now and can’t possess a god. Anyway, I just want her panacea. My personal weaknesses are nothing.

"I'll go buy some cloth later to make clothes. He Xiangu's divine clothes don't need to be specially made. As long as they match the image, it'll be fine."

The system understood: "By the way, the Dream World is temporarily closed now, and the preliminary round of the Designer Competition has been postponed."

"Um."

"Are you still going to participate in the competition? People online are speculating that in the dream world, you're a dinosaur competing in high heels. If you participate, you'll definitely attract a lot of attention."

Xuanyin smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing? The more people pay attention to you, the more energy you will get. Besides, the advancement task is not yet completed."

The system light ball conjured two fingers and matched them. "But your safety is more important. If your identity is discovered, you'll definitely be in a lot of trouble, even in danger. I saw online that the Imperials are planning to raid and kill you, and a lot of experts from the Federation have spoken out, saying a lot of sarcastic things. They don't really welcome you."

After hearing this, Xuanyin looked at the ball of light and squeezed it: "I know, don't worry."

At this moment, the computer beeped. She opened it and saw that it was a transfer reminder. Someone had transferred 20,000 yuan to the original body's account.

[I heard you moved out of school. Mom asked you to take care of yourself. She's worried about you. We'll talk later if you don't have enough money.]

Xuanyin looked at the sender, Cheng Shuhui.

"Cheng Shuhui, is he the original body's brother?"

Originally from the Cheng family, he had long been treated as an abandoned child. He was sent to a branch and moved back to the planet where the Cheng family's ancestral home was located. He lived a rather difficult life.

If I'm not mistaken, the money in the family now is all earned by the original body's brother, and the original body's mother needs a lot of money for medical treatment every month.

She can't accept this money.

She called back, but the other party didn't answer.

Okay, this cold-blooded brother doesn’t like the original body.

She then sent a text message, telling the other party that she was not short of money and that there was no need to transfer money to her anymore, and she returned the money.

Before she put down her laptop, an unfamiliar number called. She thought it was Cheng Shuhui calling, so she picked up the phone, only to hear a cold and impatient voice:

"You blocked everyone in the Cheng family's number? And you even moved out of school? Do you want everyone to laugh at the Cheng family? Can you please stop being so childish! Grandpa Cheng's birthday is coming up at the end of the month. Go back to the Cheng family, Cheng Xuanyin, and be a respectable person!"

Xuanyin was silent after hearing this, and the other party couldn't help but ask: "Cheng Xuanyin, speak!"

Xuanyin then slowly said, "Who are you?"

The other side seemed to be choked with anger: "Can't you recognize my voice?"

Xuanyin played with the box of pills and said, "Indeed, I've never heard a dog bark like that. Whether you want to pee or go wild, go away. I don't collect trash here."

She hung up the phone, and the system flew over angrily: "Who is this? How dare you talk to us like that!"

Xuanyin calmly blocked the number: "He's just an idler, don't bother with him."

Wen Yan was hung up on. He was stunned and his face was full of disbelief. Cheng Xuanyin actually spoke to him like this!

On the other end of the video, Cheng Zixin asked, "How is it going? Did she agree to come to the birthday party?"

Wen Yan said subconsciously: "Of course she agreed."

"That's good." Cheng Zixin said, "Thank you very much, Ayan. I didn't expect that she blocked all of our contact information. If we go to her, she might refuse. We can only talk to her with you."

Wen Yan coughed and said, "It's okay. I'm responsible for her being so reckless. I explained it to her very clearly when I called off the engagement. I didn't expect her to be so stubborn."

Cheng Xuanyin must have said this in anger. It was obvious that she was quite resentful.

Wen Yan frowned. He had to be on guard against her causing trouble on the birthday party, so he said, "Xinxin, I might not be able to go to the birthday party. You have to be on guard against Cheng Xuanyin causing trouble that day."

"I understand, A Yan, thank you very much. It's all because of me that you were confined to your home for reflection."

"What does it have to do with you? I'm happy to be able to protect you."

After hanging up the video, Cheng Zixin frowned slightly.

The servant asked, "Miss, are you worried about Master Wen? Because he deserted the battlefield in the dream world, Master Wen has been criticized online. I heard that his enlistment may be in jeopardy, and the military is re-evaluating his ideological and moral standards."

Cheng Zixin said calmly, "There's nothing to worry about. He's the most promising of the younger generation of the Wen family. The Wen family will definitely protect him."

"What is the young lady worried about?"

Cheng Zixin circled the communication line on the computer and said, "Cheng Xuanyin moved out of school without a word, and she hasn't even looked for Wen Yan in all these days. This time, Wen Yan was scolded online. If it were in the past, she would have found a way to meet him long ago, but now, she hasn't made any move at all. It's so strange."

"Maybe she's disheartened? But even if she changes a lot, there's nothing we can do."

Cheng Zixin thought about it and nodded: "That's right, she just used it as a way to release Ziqi from the ban. However, she just broke off the engagement with the Wen family and moved out to live alone. If you don't know, you might think my Cheng family is so heartless."

Thinking of this, she stood up and said, "I have to tell my mother to bring Cheng Xuanyin's mother and brother over as well, so that no one will murmur again."

…

In the hotel room with the curtains closed, the bed had been moved away. Xuanyin stood barefoot on the ground with her arms outstretched, maintaining an extremely difficult, even somewhat twisted, movement. Her body kept shaking, and sweat gathered on her chin, then fell down and formed a small puddle on the floor.

"15 seconds left, hold on. 14, 13... 9, 8... 3, 2, 1!" The system cheered, "Time's up!"

Xuanyin slowly stopped, slowly exhaled the breath she had been holding for a long time, and held on to the table to calm herself down silently.

The system light ball leaned closer: "Your muscles are still trembling, the heat in your body is moving in strands, your skin is red, and the sweat you excrete is actually turbid! How amazing!"

"The day before yesterday you could only hold each exercise for one minute, the day before yesterday it was three minutes, yesterday it was five minutes, and today it was straight up ten minutes. You're making such rapid progress!"

"Has your physical condition improved? Let me check, let me check!"

Xuanyin wiped the sweat from her chin: "Don't you think you're a little noisy?"

"I'm just curious, aren't I? There's actually such a useful body-refining technique. Is this the result of thousands of years of wisdom in your world?"

"I guess so." Actually it was half and half. She had been to the world of martial arts, and those martial arts secrets were still very good. So she combined these and modified the doomsday body refining technique, and the effect was surprisingly good.

She walked into the bathroom and found brown medicinal soup in the bathtub. This was for medicinal baths to help the body repair faster and better.

She looked at the system.

The system played dumb: "Ah? What for?"

Xuanyin directly pushed it out with her mental power and closed the door with a bang.

The system rolled in the air and said in a strangled voice, "Ah, why are you so ruthless? I'm a girl too!"

“…Shut up!”

Xuanyin sat in the medicinal bath, and the medicine penetrated into her skin, causing her to feel a tingling pain.

Although it hurts, the fatigue from practicing the body-building technique is gradually fading away, and the pain turns into streams of heat, consolidating the effects of the body-building technique.

She closed her eyes and frowned slightly to endure the stinging sensation.

At this moment, the computer placed aside suddenly rang.

She opened her eyes and saw a floating screen that popped up, indicating that the caller was Cheng Shuhui.

The original brother? Didn't he always answer her calls? Why did he call her again?

She said, "Connect."

The optical computer received the command and answered the phone. Two radio cables extended out like tentacles. Xuanyin: "Hello?"

"Why aren't you at the Cheng family?" A very unfamiliar voice came from the other end.

It was really unfamiliar, and the original body didn't have much impression of this voice, but it could be heard that it was a young man with a low voice, with a hint of impatience and indifference.

Xuanyin asked curiously, "Is Cheng Shu back?"

There was a pause: "Oh, now they call me by my first name."

Xuanyin didn't reply. As long as she was sure it was the person herself, she said, "Don't you know that I moved out of school? I don't have any contact with the Cheng family anymore."

Cheng Shuhui was obviously stunned. "You didn't come back to the Cheng family's birthday party today? The Cheng family said you would be there and talk to Mom about your situation."

Xuanyin narrowed her eyes and vaguely heard the noisy background noise over there. She asked, "Are you at the Cheng family now? Is your mom...mom here too?"

Cheng Shuhui seemed a little impatient: "Since you are not here, there is no need for us to stay any longer. Wherever you are, it is not easy for Mom to come to the capital star. I must see you to feel at ease."

Xuanyin said: "I am..."

"Xuanyin!"

A female voice interrupted from the other end, gentle and soft, as if with a smile: "Today is Grandpa's birthday, why didn't you come? Come quickly, Aunt and Brother Shuhui are waiting for you, everyone is waiting only for you, there are many guests today, don't let them laugh at our family."

Xuanyin paused. This voice was deeply engraved in her mind.

Cheng Zixin, the apple of the Cheng family's eye and the person Wen Yan likes, in front of her, he seems like an ugly duck that has walked into the wrong place and is compared to nothing.

There is certainly a gap between the two, and it is quite big, but what really hurts the original body is the way the other person speaks and acts.

She always smiles so gently and dignifiedly, and says things that sound light and casual, as if there is no problem at all, but she always makes the original person feel embarrassed and at a loss.

Cheng Shuhui seemed to want to say something, but Cheng Zixin said in a gentle voice, "Auntie just arrived. She's exhausted from the journey and hasn't even sat down to rest. Look, her face is pale. Brother Shuhui, you should take her to rest. If Xuanyin really doesn't want to see you, I'll send someone to take you there."

Look, it's this kind of words. Before Xuanyin even said anything, she had already become the unreasonable person in her mouth, and became a tool for her to create the image of herself as understanding and reasonable.

She said so. If Cheng Shuhui cared about his mother and had a little self-respect, he would not insist on coming to find Xuanyin.

Xuanyin raised the corner of her mouth and scoffed: "Okay, wait, I'll be there soon."
