Chapter 47 Chapter 47
"Try it again according to the method I told you." Xue Yu frowned, and asked her to try again without giving up.
Qiao Yanrou was extremely tired. It had been a whole day and there had not been the slightest fluctuation in her supernatural powers. His method was definitely correct. The problem lay with her. It seemed that the peak she felt was not an illusion. No matter how or what method she used to improve it, it was useless. She had reached the top.
"No, let's try again tomorrow." Qiao Yanrou was now exhausted. She was exhausted from mobilizing her superpowers for the whole day. Now, not only did she lose her superpowers, she even lost her strength.
She collapsed on the sofa, her long black hair draped over her slender body, her skin was as pale as snow, and she looked so fragile that it was heartbreaking to see.
Xue Yu lowered her eyes, knowing that she had tried her best, but she didn't expect there would be a psychic so weak.
She was so weak, why did she leave Fu Chuqing? Fu Chuqing was so strong, and logically he was her first choice for attachment, but she left him.
Xue Yu couldn't guess what she was thinking. A beginner psychic who couldn't get promoted was so brave as to travel around alone.
His eyes reflected Qiao Yanrou's fragile and fragile appearance, lying softly on the sofa.
Qiao Yanrou tried to get up with her last bit of strength, but the next moment, her whole body was in the air. She panicked and hugged Xue Yu's neck, fearing that she would fall down.
"I'll carry you back." he said.
Xue Yu strode towards her room. She looked very thin. When he hugged her, his palms felt her soft skin, which made him want to hold her tightly in his arms.
Qiao Yanrou noticed that he was looking at her, but she didn't dare to look up and meet his gaze. Now that they were already close enough, if she looked up and met his gaze again... it would be too ambiguous.
She was put on the bed, and before Xue Yu closed the door, he told her to have a good rest and said he would not disturb her so early tomorrow.
Qiao Yanrou opened her eyes and watched him close the door. She dragged her almost strengthless body to take a shower, then lay back on the bed and fell asleep.
The feeling of having used up all her superpowers was extremely uncomfortable. She gasped for breath, waiting for her superpowers to recover at a snail's pace.
As expected... it's impossible. She won't daydream about rising in strength anymore. In her current state, she will need several days to recover before she can leave this manor and go to the sanctuary.
Otherwise, in her current state, even if the gate of the manor was open to her, she would not be able to walk out.
As for Xue Yu, it was obvious that he would not touch her for the time being.
Fatigue and sleepiness came over her, and soon she fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up, it was already noon the next day. Although she felt better than yesterday, she was still weak all over. She took great pains to wash up and lay back on the bed.
Xue Yu followed the servant who was carrying the food into her room and saw that her dazzlingly beautiful face had turned pale and she was lying on the bed as if she had lost all her strength.
He had never seen such a weak psychic. Even the servant who brought in the food was stronger than her.
Qiao Yanrou glanced at him, and with the help of the servant, she sat on the sofa. She thanked the servant and slowly started to eat the food.
Xue Yu said nothing and accepted the fact that her strength could no longer be improved.
She had just finished eating when she heard him ask, "Why do you insist on leaving here even though your abilities are so weak?" How many people have banged their heads trying to get the protection of a strong person.
She drank half a glass of boiled water and said, "I can survive on my own." She doesn't need big fish and meat. Freedom and peace are the life she wants.
Xue Yu was silent. She looked good-natured, but in fact, she was tougher than anyone else.
He finally understood why Fu Chuqing fell in love with her. The tenacity hidden deep within her softness could not help but touch people.
Especially in the end times, the strong have their own rules, and the weak need to follow the rules set by the strong. People in the world have long been numb and their hearts are cold, but she is clearly not like... a person in this world.
After finishing her meal, Qiao Yanrou felt better. In fact, there was a zombie crystal core in her storage space, but for some reason, she found it difficult to absorb the energy contained in it.
The crystal core that Shen Luohan gave her was gathering dust in the storage space and was of little use to her.
The servant had already left. Xue Yu walked over and held her arm. The moment his palm sank slightly, his movements froze and he was distracted.
Qiao Yanrou didn't notice anything unusual about him, and with his help, she lay back on the bed. Today she didn't feel dizzy like she did last night, she just felt weak all over.
"Have a good rest." He put his hands in his trouser pockets to hide the slight trembling.
Qiao Yanrou nodded, slid into the quilt, and prepared to sleep again.
Outside, Xue Yu closed the door quietly and looked down at his trembling and numb hands. The strange feeling... made him almost unable to control himself.
She slept until dinner time and didn't wake up yet. The exhaustion of her supernatural powers could only be relieved by sleep. This was how she recovered last time at Shen Luohan's base.
Xue Yu was afraid that something had happened to her, so he opened her door. When the light came on, he found that she was still lying in bed.
He strode to the bedside. Qiao Yanrou was sleeping soundly with her back to him. He reached out and brushed aside the hair on the side of her neck, and probed her carotid artery with his fingertips. Everything was normal.
Xue Yu withdrew his hand, his eyes lingering on her fair and delicate neck, then slid down to her stunning profile...
He didn't realize that his heart was gradually sinking.
Qiao Yanrou woke up in the dazzling light, rubbed her eyes and lay down on the bed. The figure in front of her made her stunned.
Looking closely, Xue Yu was standing by the bed with his back to the light. No wonder she felt someone touching her neck just now. He was probably checking to see if she was okay.
"What time is it?" She half-sitting on the bed, her voice soft.
Xue Yu was silent for a moment, then said, "It's just past seven o'clock."
"I'm hungry." She really had no strength left. Although she had slept for a long time, it was still difficult for her to go downstairs.
"I'll have someone heat up the food and bring it over." After saying that, Xue Yu's tall figure walked towards the door.
For some reason, Qiao Yanrou looked at his back as he left and felt that he was a little silent tonight. She guessed that he might be shocked by her weak strength.
The servant brought the food into the room. She washed up before slowly eating dinner. When she turned her head, she found Xue Yu still standing beside her watching her eat.
I thought he was guarding the room because he was afraid that something might happen to her or that she would fall.
She swallowed a mouthful of food and said to him, "I'm fine, I'm much better now." There is no problem walking short distances.
He didn't leave after hearing that, but sat opposite her and watched her finish eating.
Qiao Yanrou was used to being stared at by Fu Chuqing, Ji Yuanchen and others, so she didn't feel restrained at all under his gaze.
After she finished eating, the servant came up and took away the dishes and plates on the tray.
Xue Yu, who had remained silent all the time, then left her room.
Qiao Yanrou sat down to rest for a while, went into the bathroom to take a shower, and prepared to continue sleeping. She needed to recover her body and exhausted supernatural powers within ten days.
It was a coincidence that I avoided the relationship proposal proposed by Xue Yu. Otherwise, it would be very tiring to fight with him every day.
Time passed quickly, and three days passed in the blink of an eye. Qiao Yanrou recovered faster than the last time she was at Shen Luohan's base. It might be because the condition was more serious that time.
Xue Yu often came to see her these days, and his words were no longer as rude as before. After spending these few days with him, her impression of him was gradually getting better.
But she couldn't shake her determination to go to the sanctuary.
In the past few days, except for occasionally staring at her, he would casually look away when she was about to meet his gaze, as if he didn't care.
Qiao Yanrou didn't notice that she would wander around the manor on weekdays to see if she could find an opportunity to sneak out.
Because she might leave the base at any time, since entering the base, she would pack up her things and put them in the storage space every day when leaving the room so that she would not leave anything behind.
Ten days passed quickly. One day, Qiao Yanrou went downstairs for breakfast and reminded Xue Yu, who was sitting across from her: "Today is the eleventh day. I can enter and leave the manor freely."
Before going downstairs, she ran out to the balcony and glanced at the manor's walls, which were still covered with his fire power.
Xue Yu finished his breakfast and said casually, "I regret it."
Qiao Yanrou: “!” It was as if she was struck by lightning.
"A gentleman never jokes." She was anxious. She didn't expect that he would change his mind at the last minute. What about the ten-day appointment?
Xue Yu didn't care about her so-called gentleman: "I am not a gentleman. You can't go anywhere except staying by my side."
Qiao Yanrou: "...There's no love between us, so why should I stay by your side?"
"Who says there is no love?" he retorted, raising an eyebrow.
Qiao Yanrou: "I said so."
Xue Yu laughed softly, his tone filled with a doting that he himself hadn't noticed: "You don't have the final say."
"You are unreasonable." Qiao Yanrou had been waiting for so long, but he ended up going back on his word.
Xue Yu frankly admitted: "I am unreasonable."
Qiao Yanrou looked at his nonchalant expression and became even more angry: "You bastard!"
"I'm a huge asshole."
No matter what Qiao Yanrou said to him, Xue Yu admitted it and there was no room for negotiation except letting her go.
Qiao Yanrou was angry and knew that he would never let her leave no matter what, so she simply ignored him and went to sit in the back garden alone.
Xue Yu followed behind her and saw that she was angry, so he sat beside her and tried to comfort her.
"Why don't you beat me up?" he suggested, moving his face closer.
Qiao Yanrou looked at the handsome face that was magnified in front of her, turned her eyes away calmly and ignored him.
In a few seconds, her left wrist was tightly grasped in his palm, which then loosened and slid to the back of her hand, the movement was ambiguous and hot.
Her hand was placed on the side of Xue Yu's face, and he looked into her eyes with his deep amber eyes, then turned to her red ears.
The man's voice was hoarse: "Do you want to vent your anger?"
Qiao Yanrou tried to pull her hand back with an evasive look in her eyes, but couldn't: "No...I don't want to..."
Xue Yu stared at her, slowly put her hand to his lips, and kissed the palm of her hand.
Her palms felt itchy, and her fingertips trembled at his hot breath.
"Qiao Yanrou, be my girlfriend."
Qiao Yanrou was surprised when he called her full name. How...how did he know her full name?!
"How do you know I..." She didn't say anything else. The question that she had been unable to figure out finally got the answer at this moment.
It turned out that he had recognized her as the person Fu Chuqing was looking for long before!
Facing her surprise, Xue Yu's attitude was calm: "I know Fu Chuqing is looking for you."
"He...he told you what I look like?" Otherwise how could he know it was her.
Xue Yu chuckled softly, his handsome face made people fascinated.
"Silly, how could he tell me about a treasure like you? It was the psychic who accidentally brought you back to the base that day who told me the characteristics and name of the person Fu Chuqing was looking for."
Fu Chuqing never mentioned her existence in front of him, for fear that his woman would be coveted by a powerful man.
But...even Xue Yu himself probably didn't expect that he would be interested in her.
Qiao Yanrou didn't expect such an answer. Maybe Fu Chuqing was also wary of him. Unexpectedly, by chance, she fell into his hands.
"Then let me think about it for a few days." She was so burned by the heat in his eyes that she quickly looked away.
Xue Yu took advantage of the situation and put his arms around her slender waist, buried his face in the crook of her neck, inhaled her fragrance, pressed his thin lips against her skin, and his heavy, hot breathing made her tremble constantly.
"Qiao Yanrou, I can't wait." His voice was hoarse, mixed with some strong emotions.
He aroused her so much that her whole body became hot. She bit her lip and tried to push him away, but he didn't move at all.
"Don't...don't do this. Wait a while."
Xue Yu said "hmm" and did not move away from her neck. He just held her in his arms, his thin lips pressed against the side of her neck. The hot and ambiguous atmosphere wrapped them tightly.
That night, she dreamed that Xue Yu was sucking the skin behind her ear and she was deeply immersed in his fire and heat.
When she woke up, she was covered in sweat. It was because he held her in the back garden for too long yesterday, and her dreams were filled with his presence.
Qiao Yanrou was half-sitting on the bed, and before she had time to think about it, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
