As the saying goes: You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep. This saying is extremely appropriate when applied to He Song.
In fact, when Ning Wan entered the cave, his consciousness was not completely gone, but he was too tired, so tired that he could not lift his eyelids, his breathing became difficult, and he did not even have the strength to open his mouth to remind her that "there is danger here".
He Song didn't want to face Ning Wan, or more accurately, he didn't want to face Ning Wan who saved him.
He thought of the previous arena match with Ning Wan, and also of how he had gone to the Servant Peak with the intention of causing trouble, and even tried to stir up dissatisfaction among his companions before the training, making them think that Ning Wan was just a burden with nothing but a show.
He Song suddenly felt very fortunate that none of these ideas succeeded, but he couldn't help but feel a little resentful.
Why did she have to be the one to save him?
It was someone bad, but it had to be the person he looked down upon the most.
This thought was extremely shallow, but it did not carry much malice. After a short moment, it left only complex emotions intertwined in his heart, making He Song dare not open his eyes.
Another pill used to repair spiritual power was stuffed into his mouth. Before he could even react, his body had subconsciously absorbed it.
His thoughts were interrupted instantly. After thinking about it carefully, He Song realized that this seemed to be the seventeenth pill Ning Wan had fed him.
Wait, seventeen?
He Song suddenly felt that pretending to be unconscious was not a good idea. He had originally planned to wait for Ning Wan to bring him back to the inn before slowly waking up. In order to avoid some unnecessary embarrassment, he was even prepared to not know anything about the questions.
But he didn't expect Ning Wan to just stuff the pill into his hand without any intention of taking him back.
But she had missed so many classes. Even if these elixirs were useful, they could not be fed in this way. If too much was fed, it was very likely that the elixir would not be absorbed. The end result would be that the inner elixir would rupture, and she would have to start over from the first step of drawing Qi into the body.
Having said that, very few people can embark on the path of cultivation again after their inner elixir is broken.
He Song sighed helplessly. After the fear of opening his eyes and seeing Ning Wan disappeared, he found that the wounds on his body had basically healed, and the spiritual power in his body began to impact his spiritual veins.
If he had encountered this before the training, he would have thought that Ning Wan did it on purpose, and her purpose was naturally to destroy him; but now He Song had only one thought, that the person in front of him, whom he wanted to call senior sister, was probably just worried that he would not wake up, so she fed him all those elixirs.
What He Song didn't know was that while he was secretly beautifying Ning Wan in his heart, the real owner was already thinking about whether to take brutal measures to wake him up.
Ning Wan looked at He Song, who still had no reaction. Her grip tightened slightly, and she resisted the urge to pull up He Song's collar. "Xiao Qi, are you sure he's awake?"
[Yes, Xiao Qi will not lie to the host.]
He Song probably just couldn't accept that the person who saved him was the host, so he lay on the ground pretending to be dead.
Xiao Qi exposed He Song's original thoughts in just a few words, and even the plain electronic sound revealed a hint of ridicule.
[But host, rest assured, He Song won't be able to pretend for long.]
[He's taken too many elixirs, and he's also had some sudden realizations. It's likely he'll break through the seventh level of Qi Refining in a little while. Even if he wants to, he can't.]
Xiao Qi said this with some gritted teeth.
It was obvious that the mission would be successful as long as He Song opened his eyes, but this guy still pretended.
If the male protagonist finds out that the host ran away with the demon-trapping lock in order to save He Song, it is not known whether he will misunderstand the host.
Just as Xiao Qi said, He Song did find something wrong in his body. By the time he reacted, he had already broken through the seventh level of Qi Refining. The whole process was incredibly smooth.
Looking at Ning Wan who had broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining: ...It would be a lie to say I wasn’t envious.
They were both taking elixirs, but she took much more than He Song, so why couldn't she break through the third level of Qi Refining?
Xiao Qi, who had touched the host's heart, didn't dare to speak.
How could it forget? Although the host said that he didn't care and was giving up, he was actually very concerned about the fact that he couldn't break through the realm.
Ning Wan finally accepted Xiao Qi's explanation, but her eyes fell on the demon-trapping lock on her wrist again.
There is actually something in the mall that can unlock the lock, but it only costs 200 points and is a one-time use item. It can't even damage the Demon-Trapping Lock itself. Naturally, she is not willing to do something that is not worth it.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that this silver-colored demon-trapping lock was a little... hot?
"Senior Sister Ning?"
He Song opened his eyes slightly, then struggled to get up, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he grasped the emotion of waking up from a coma just right.
Ning Wan's thoughts were pulled back. She shook her sleeve to cover the object that shouldn't be on her wrist. Her eyes fell on He Song, who had already sat up, and she relaxed her throat: "Yeah."
Seeing He Song wake up, Ning Wan didn't want to say much, and her attention was all on the task panel.
A few seconds later.
[Go to Chongtou Village and solve He Song's random task. The reward is:
Points: +550 (accumulated)
Skills acquired: None. 】
"Thank you, Senior Sister Ning, for rescuing me this time. If you need any help from my junior brother in the future, please let me know. I will go through fire and water to help him."
Seeing that Ning Wan didn't make any sound, He Song felt even worse. He even wanted to go back to the day of the competition and slap himself a few times to wake himself up.
Senior Sister Ning even hid the fact that she saved him, how could she be the kind of woman who would use her identity to put pressure on him?
His loss was fair and square, and Senior Sister Ning's win was justified. It was he who was blinded by the defeat and blamed others for his own mistakes.
"In the future?" Ning Wan's tone was slightly teasing. "Although I don't expect you to repay me, you don't have to use these words to put me off."
Apart from anything else, this kind of promise is really similar to the routine of "If I can't repay you with my life" and "I will repay you for your kindness even if I have to work like a slave in the next life."
He Song's expression changed slightly. Seeing Ning Wan's disbelief, he quickly and nervously explained, "Senior Sister Ning, I absolutely don't mean to put you off. These are all my sincere words."
The Senior Sister Ning in front of him was so different from the ones he had seen before. Her eyes were too calm, as if only that person could bring her such different emotional fluctuations.
Yes, Senior Sister Ning only behaves like a young girl in front of that man. When dealing with others, she puts on airs, like a fox borrowing the power of the tiger, hoping to gain recognition and trust.
As He Song thought about this, for the first time he felt a pang of sympathy for the daughter of the sect leader whom he disliked.
It has nothing to do with love between men and women, it's just friendship between fellow students.
Ning Wan didn't know what He Song was thinking, nor did she care what he was thinking. As if she hadn't heard clearly, she asked again to confirm, "From the bottom of my heart?"
He Song nodded nervously, his eyes fixed on Ning Wan, waiting anxiously for her verdict.
