Chapter 13 Metal System
Back home, Lu Nange, as usual, planned to take one last look at Lu Beiye before going to sleep.
She gently pushed open the door to the master bedroom, and the little one's even breathing sounded much heavier than usual.
By the soft, dim light of the bedside lamp, Lu Nange leaned closer to the bed and saw that Lu Beiye's face was flushed.
She raised her hand and touched her brother's forehead; it was burning hot to the touch.
She rushed to the living room to find the children's fever-reducing medicine she had prepared.
Once outside the master bedroom, it dawned on me that I had everything in my system inventory, so I quickly used my consciousness to retrieve the medicine and warm water.
Back in the bedroom, after feeding Lu Beiye the medicine, I put a fever-reducing patch on him.
Time passed second by second, but Lu Beiye still showed no reaction.
Lu Nange's brows furrowed more and more; all the hospitals outside were closed, and there was nowhere to seek medical treatment.
Lu Nange suddenly remembered the Marrow Cleansing Pill in her backpack.
She took out a piece, about the size of a chocolate ball, worried that Lu Beiye might choke.
Lu Nange could only flatten it and then pinch off pieces to feed Lu Beiye.
Lu Beiye, who was pretending not to wake up, was being fed by his sister again and again, and he really wanted to give her some kind of response.
However, considering that he would have to be unconscious for at least a day after his powers awakened, he could only continue to remain unconscious.
Lu Beiye felt his sister constantly wiping his body with warm water.
The movements were gentle, and then, oh no, he was about to pee his eyes.
When Lu Nange stopped moving, a pungent stench entered Lu Beiye's nostrils, almost making him vomit.
The sounds of moving and lifting filled the air, and Lu Beiye felt himself being gently lifted and placed into a warm bucket of water.
Lu Nange set out three large buckets of water, and rinsed Lu Beiye in the first bucket.
They carried in a second bucket and rinsed it.
As they were about to lift Lu Beiye into the third bucket, Lu Nange stripped the little guy of his clothes and pants.
Just as he was about to peel the bitter tea seeds, Lu Beiye couldn't keep up the act any longer. He suddenly reached out and grabbed both sides of the bitter tea seeds tightly.
"woke up?"
Lu Beiye's face was flushed, whether from a fever or embarrassment, he didn't know. His tone was stiff, and he stammered, "Wash it yourself."
Lu Nange teased, "Little brat, then you wash yourself. I'll turn my back to you, okay?"
Lu Beiye: "You, get out."
Lu Nange: "You have a fever, can't I just turn away and not look at you?"
Lu Beiye said through gritted teeth, "I'm done! I'm going to wash myself."
Lu Nange looked at Lu Beiye's adorable, awkward posture in the bucket, his hands still tightly gripping the bitter tea seeds and refusing to let go.
Suppressing a laugh, I walked out.
You'd better hold it in, or this kid will be unhappy for days.
She walked to the door, stopped, and raised her voice, saying, "I'll be standing right here at the door."
You absolutely must respond to me at any time, otherwise my sister will think you've fainted and she might just burst in!
From inside came Lu Beiye, sounding slightly impatient: "I know, I know!"
"I'm sick, don't take too long to bathe!"
Lu Beiye...
A moment later, Lu Beiye's voice came from inside the house: "I'm done washing!"
Lu Nange pushed open the door and went in, only to see that the little guy had already quickly put on his clothes.
She was wrapped up tightly, like a little silkworm cocoon, lying obediently in the quilt.
Lu Nange walked to the bedside, picked up a dry, large towel, and gently wiped Lu Beiye's head.
Once it looked almost dry, I went to the bathroom, took out a hairdryer, set it to low heat, and slowly dried his hair.
Lu Nange held the thermometer and gently tapped Lu Beiye's forehead: "Your fever has gone down, go back to sleep."
Lu Beiye stared intently at her with a serious expression and said, "I feel like something's wrong with my body!"
Lu Nange thought to herself, "Whose little brat is this? How can he be so perceptive!"
After taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill, all the impurities in my body will be eliminated, and I'll definitely feel light and refreshed!
She twitched the corner of her mouth: "What's wrong? I'm all better now, of course I feel refreshed."
Lu Beiye stretched out his right hand, and Lu Nange looked at the golden thing in the little guy's palm, which in the blink of an eye transformed into the shape of a baseball bat!
She was so shocked that her mouth dropped open.
Lu Beiye sighed helplessly, stood up, and gently closed his sister's mouth with his left hand.
"What...what is this?"
Lu Beiye shook his head in a mocking manner, looking completely innocent.
Lu Nange screamed inwardly, "Wait a minute, I've already awakened my superpowers so early?"
She subconsciously reached out and touched it, muttering to herself, "Could this be... a metal-based ability?"
Lu Beiye... with this ignorant look, I bet even if his sister was reborn, she didn't live much longer!
Sigh, she's managed to keep going for so many days on her own, with food and drink provided. It must have been tough on her!
Tell her you have superpowers so you can stay by her side and protect her at any time!
...
Lu Nange leaned against the headboard, wondering where things had gone wrong.
If Aye had awakened his superpowers so early, how could he have been starved to death by Aunt Xu's family?
This doesn't make sense. Could she have transmigrated into the wrong book?
***
For the past few days, there has been constant banging on the door at the stairwell, one bang after another.
Lu Nange remained unmoved, ignoring the commotion outside through the two doors.
She simply opened the living room door, and while teaching Shika Kitano Taekwondo, she would occasionally glance warily towards the door.
After several days of training, Lu Nange was increasingly amazed by Lu Beiye's intelligence; he grasped things almost instantly.
He can remember the action after it has only been demonstrated once.
However, he is still young and lacks strength.
So, while eating, Lu Nange secretly fed Lu Beiye a powerful pill.
The moment the medicine took effect, Lu Beiye instantly noticed the difference in his body.
Looking at the twisted and deformed spoon in his hand, his lips twitched.
His sister really thinks he's stupid!
What can we do but cooperate?
***
It was late at night.
The bell in the living room suddenly rang, its crisp sound particularly jarring in the night.
Lu Nange reached out and grabbed the stun gun from the bedside table, then nimbly rolled out of bed.
She walked quickly outside and bumped into Lu Beiye, who was coming out of the master bedroom, holding a golden baseball bat as he walked towards her.
Lu Beiye: "Go away, you stay home!"
Looking at her younger brother's arrogant and cool demeanor, Lu Nange reached out and ruffled his hair.
"Listen to me, wait for me at home, I'll be right back."
Lu Beiye: "Enough with the nagging, let's go together."
The two tiptoed into the dimly lit corridor, faintly hearing rustling sounds coming from outside.
Lu Nange pulled Lu Beiye behind her.
She pulled open the cast aluminum armored door with a sudden burst of strength, and then pushed open the stainless steel door with lightning speed.
Using the momentum of opening the door, he kicked the person at the door hard.
She was about to turn around, push Lu Beiye back into the house, and lock the door when she caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of her eye...
Lu Beiye slammed the door shut with a clean, decisive motion, then brandished his baseball bat, banging it on people like he was playing whack-a-mole!
Lu Nange's nerves twitched. Ruthless! Too ruthless!
The person standing at the top of the stairs holding a candle was so frightened that their face turned ashen.
His legs trembled uncontrollably, and the candle in his hand shook incessantly.
He immediately knelt down, crying and shouting, "We were wrong, we're sorry, we were wrong, we didn't know you had family members in your household!"
The two people lying on the ground were curled up like shrimp, emitting cries of pain.
The girl wearing a mask tilted her head, looking even more eerie in the candlelight: "If there's a next time, I'll chop you all up! Get out."
