Blowing up the military academy (8)

When Shi Jianxia woke up, her throat was dry and astringent, but it was obviously much better than the burning pain before she fainted.

She lay on the bed with her eyes half closed for a while, and her memories before fainting gradually returned.

Number Five died, and his body was burned to ashes by the Nirvana Fire and flowed into the sewer.

When Number Nine learned that Nan Teng Military Academy was bombed, he came to look for her and happened to see her returning seriously injured.

Shi Jianxia reached for the space bracelet, which lay quietly on her wrist, untouched by anyone.

Suddenly, a small furry creature nudged her shoulders.

When Shi Jianxia opened her eyes, she saw the nine-tailed fox rolling to her neck like a ball of fur, with its nine little tails swaying back and forth as if on their own.

She raised her lips slightly and touched the little head of the nine-tailed fox. The little guy rubbed her palm happily, then got up and trotted to the head of the bed, opened the thermos and poured a glass of water.

Shi Jianxia propped himself up and sat up. The tearing pain in his heart had completely disappeared. His heart was not beating fast, but it was strong and powerful enough.

Her limbs also regained their strength. Her current condition did not seem like she had experienced a fatal battle, but more like she had undergone high-intensity training. She was still a little tired, but no longer weak.

She took the cup of water that the nine-tailed fox attentively brought to her and drank the warm water in one gulp.

My stomach warmed up and I felt much more energetic.

Shi Jianxia touched the nine-tailed fox's head again and asked, "Where's Bai Xiaojiu?"

The nine-tailed fox took the empty cup of water and put it away, then stretched out its front paws and pointed outside the room.

Shi Jianxia lifted the quilt and took a look at the clothes on her body. It was the same clothes she wore last night, but they were very clean, without any blood or mud. It must be that No. 9 had used his mimicry talent to treat her.

Silly Hanhan still has some conscience.

When Shi Jianxia released the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", she could clearly sense that its aura was a little weak, and she didn't know if it was affected by her serious injury.

The gray books fluttered in the air, leaning towards her space bracelet eagerly. It was obvious that it had sensed that the second star core was inside and couldn't wait to take it for itself.

But Number Nine was still there, and she couldn't take out the second star core. If its energy field attracted Number Nine's attention and he discovered something, the little fox would have lost its life in vain, and Number Five's death would have become difficult to explain.

Shi Jianxia summoned a few of his minions, including 朏朏, and quickly took the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" back into the spiritual power spring, preparing to absorb the second star core after No. 9 left.

The cubs such as 朏朏 who did not participate in the battle sensed that she was seriously injured last night, but without Shi Jianxia's call, they could only worry in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and even they themselves were affected. Many cubs were forced to fall into a dormant state.

With the subsequent recovery effect of [Nine Lives of the Heavenly Fox] and the slow repair of Shi Jianxia's severely injured body by [Spring Breeze and Rain], several of the first batch of awakened mimics woke up again after a short sleep.

朏朏 usually loves to act like a spoiled child. When she saw Shi Jianxia, ​​she immediately showed a pitiful expression and hugged her calf and rubbed it against her. The other cubs were also very anxious. Seeing that their other calf was taken away by the nine-tailed fox, they could only circle around her feet.

Shi Jianxia patted their little heads lovingly and whispered to comfort them: "I'm fine, just take a rest."

The kids like to make noise, but they are also the easiest to coax. Xixi nudged her calf and took the initiative to step aside. Shi Jianxia smiled and took her clothes to the bathroom to take a shower.

When she came out of the bathroom, Xixi was sticking out her soft little waist and directing the boys to clean the room and change the sheets and quilts. She was very attentive.

This cub is very powerful now. Relying on his ability to do housework, he has become a half-big brother among the cubs. The school dormitory and the simulated cooperative dormitory are kept in order by him, the nine-tailed fox and the little guys.

However, the nine-tailed fox had made great contributions in the battle last night, which was recognized by Xixi and the other cubs. It no longer needs to participate in housework. At this moment, it is lying on the sofa in the room, wagging its tail, looking very leisurely.

Shi Jianxia has always been very satisfied with the division of labor among the little ones in different things. As long as they do a good job, he basically does not interfere with their internal decisions. Seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh.

The money-eating beast is indeed a money-eating beast, and the caring boy is really caring.

You can’t hire as many hardworking and capable people as her family has from outside.

He can work in the living room and in the kitchen, he can dissect Zergs and fight in group fights. So what if he can eat a little?

Shi Jianxia didn't disturb the busy kids and opened the door and left the room.

As she entered the living room, she smelled a fragrant aroma coming from the kitchen. She was stunned for a moment, and then she saw Number Nine wearing a custom-made nine-tailed fox apron and walking out with soup.

Number Nine's perception was very sharp, and he immediately noticed Shi Jianxia standing in the living room.

He turned his head and their eyes met.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

Shi Jianxia never dreamed that one day No. 9 would wear her apron and cook in her kitchen. From the smell, it seemed that he was cooking quite well.

Number Nine's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered and said with a fierce face, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a handsome guy wearing an apron?"

Although his tone was fierce, the action of turning his head betrayed his true thoughts. The hair tied behind his back also rose slightly due to this not-so-light action, and he had a temperament that was really different from his arrogant and domineering temperament.

Shi Jianxia: "..."

In terms of appearance, No. 9 is indeed worthy of the title of handsome guy, and a top-level one at that.

But why does it sound so funny when these words come out of his mouth?

Shi Jianxia glanced at the soup in his hand and asked, "What kind of soup did you make? It smells really good."

Whether you are petting a cat or a tiger, just pet it along the fur.

She was hungry, so she naturally didn't hesitate to stroke Silly Hanhan's fur.

When Number Nine heard her say 'fragrant', he instantly became proud, "Chicken stewed with red dates."

After saying that, he glanced at Shi Jianxia again and said, "I'm not like some people who put half a packet of salt in soup and another half in stir-fries."

He was still thinking about the time when he was so angry that he went back to his room because of the food she cooked.

Shi Jianxia was shameless. She grabbed her freshly washed and dried hair from behind her shoulders and walked towards the restaurant while tying it up. "You'll know after you try it."

After sleeping for seven or eight hours, the intense battle and excessive blood loss made her stomach growl with hunger, and it was a perfect time for lunch.

As a matter of course, she went to the kitchen to wash her hands and brought out the dish cooked by No. 9. It was really delicious, but she didn't know how it tasted.

Number Nine saw her action and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Shi Jianxia immediately put on a standard smile, pulled out a chair, gestured for the 'handsome guy in the apron' to come in, and said politely, "Chef Bai, please take a seat."

Number Nine really fell for it. He took off his apron and sat down with a swagger. He tapped the table with his fingers like a master and said without any politeness, "Hei Xiaoqi, serve your food."

Shi Jianxia's mouth twitched slightly.

It's installed, right?

Considering that this guy cooked a hot meal for her, she didn't bother with him.

A bowl of white rice was brought to No. 9, and he was so happy that he didn't care whether Shi Jianxia was sincere or not.

Shi Jianxia saw that the corners of his mouth were raised high, and naturally knew that he was secretly happy. She was speechless and simply turned a blind eye. She scooped a bowl of chicken soup, took a tentative sip, and then squinted her eyes while drinking it slowly.

To her surprise, the food on the table was delicious and had a great flavor, and it didn't taste like anything a young master like Jiang Jiuhan could prepare.

But she wasn't sure whether Number Seven knew that Number Nine could cook, so she didn't dare ask more questions for fear of accidentally revealing that she had no memory.

After lunch, when Shi Jianxia put the dishes into the kitchen and came out, No. 9 was no longer in the room. The slippers he had been wearing were neatly placed on the shoe rack.

Shi Jianxia breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little amused.

She shook her head and walked towards the balcony. The bloodstains on the ground had been cleaned up and the black cloak was neatly folded on the washing machine, clean and fresh, obviously washed.

Shi Jianxia was a little stunned, subconsciously wondering what kind of relationship No. 7 and No. 9 had.

Friend? Partner? Companion? Accomplice?

None of it seems quite right.

After thinking for a while without figuring it out, Shi Jianxia gave up making things difficult for himself and walked over to put the cloak into the space bracelet.

She looked out of the balcony. The rainstorm had stopped. The afternoon sun was shining on the earth. Raindrops were hanging from the flowers, plants and trees in the community. Birds were chirping on the branches. Occasionally, someone would walk by the cobblestone path, chatting, with smiles on their faces.

It's a new student.

Shi Jianxia stretched in the sun, turned around and went back to the house. The kids had already cleaned up the room and were now crowded on the sofa playing with the children's smart computer.

She smiled and didn't disturb them. She casually used the mimicry talent of one of the cubs to cover the room and block out the outside prying eyes.

Shi Jianxia did not take out the second star core immediately, but took out the jade card. After testing it with her mental power, she found that the connection between her and the jade card still existed.

It really didn't work.

[Nine Lives of the Sky Fox] can protect her from a fatal blow, but it cannot erase the control of the Jade Card over her.

After confirming this, Shi Jianxia did not put the jade token into the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", but put it into another space bracelet, and then took out the second star core from the space bracelet on his wrist.

As soon as the second star core appeared, the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" floating in the air immediately came over, like a traveler who had been short of water in the desert and finally encountered a rain, and couldn't wait to absorb the orange light flowing on the surface of the star core.

Tides of energy gushed out, like stars in the night sky, brilliant and beautiful. They flowed slowly, gradually enveloping Shi Jianxia.

The second star core also seemed to have found its home and flew straight into the opened pages of "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

The moment the two merged into one, the overflowing energy tides suddenly gathered together, and the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" shone brightly, and the gray pages returned to their original simplicity and splendor.

Distant prayers rang in Shi Jianxia's ears like dense drumbeats, shaking her heart. Mysterious ancient patterns flew out from the pages of the book, forming layers of golden circles around the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

Shi Jianxia felt a faint heat between her eyebrows, exactly the same as the situation she encountered when absorbing the first star core in "Classic of Mountains and Seas". The mysterious totem appeared between her eyebrows again, but it was brighter and clearer than the last time.

Her body lost the pull of gravity and slowly floated up. The pages of "Classic of Mountains and Seas" continued to fly out golden patterns.

The circle formed by the pattern grew larger and larger until it completely enveloped Shi Jianxia. Orange rays were drawn out from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and began to rotate around her at high speed.

Fragments of light fell on her skin, and Shi Jianxia felt the intense pain of being burned by sparks.

But compared to the confusion and helplessness she felt last time, she closed her eyes slightly, allowing the energy sparks to penetrate her skin, flow into her blood vessels, and temper her bones and blood.

The pain spread to every part of her body, and Shi Jianxia's body swayed uncontrollably. She closed her eyes completely, feeling the energy tempering her body in the pain.

Perhaps a long time passed, or perhaps it was just a moment, the tremendous energy gathered into her spiritual power fountain, rushing into her brain like a gushing fountain.

Shi Jianxia let out an uncontrollable low hum between her lips and teeth, and more and more energy sparks seeped into her skin, forming energy tides in her blood and bone marrow. The tides collided with each other, turning into energy storms. The burning pain pressed from the flesh to the soul, and then from the soul to the flesh.

pain!

The pain was so severe that she wanted to roll on the ground, and so severe that she wanted to hold her head and slam it against the wall.

But she was trapped in the air by the energy tide, unable to speak or move, and could only allow the power of the star core to temper her body.

The light from the Classic of Mountains and Seas became brighter and brighter, and a mysterious golden light also flowed through the ancient pages. After the golden light, red and orange lights intertwined with each other, and the shadow of a diamond-shaped crystal could be vaguely seen.

Shi Jianxia once again felt the pain of her soul being cut into pieces and then pieced together again, and her skin was cracked inch by inch by the terrifying energy tide.

But the golden pattern that wrapped her seemed to be the last line of defense before her body and soul collapsed, constantly repairing those shocking cracks.

She was reborn in death.

When the last golden pattern flew into her brow, the Classic of Mountains and Seas no longer emitted orange light, and the energy tide slowly receded. At this time, the golden totem on Xia's forehead quietly disappeared.

She fell onto the bed, and although she was hit like a pancake by countless hammers, she didn't break a sweat. Now she lay dying on the soft big bed, her consciousness was exceptionally clear.

Finally, she absorbed another star core.

Shi Jianxia moved his fingers, endured the pain of being crushed into pieces, and caught the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" falling from the sky.

She couldn't wait any longer and turned to the title page. As expected, she saw the words "Upgrading" and a smile appeared on her lips.

If it is upgraded again, it should be S-level, right?
