Chapter 24 Survived
Seeing someone he could rely on, Jiang Jiu's tense nerves quickly relaxed.
She was about to say something else, but her consciousness began to blur. The clear figure in front of her eyes gradually blurred into one, and the next second she lost consciousness.
Chi Li stood not far from Jiang Jiu, his expression gloomy.
"You... don't remember what I said last time?"
He looked at Jiang Jiu who had fainted and talked to himself.
"Are you really not afraid that I will kill you like this?"
He continued.
The unconscious Jiang Jiu was unable to answer any of his questions. Chi Li stood there for a long time without moving. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly sighed softly.
"never mind......"
Chi Li stepped forward and held Jiang Jiu's thin body in his arms, carefully avoiding the injured and fractured parts of her body, his expression full of helplessness.
"Why on earth would I save you..."
There was an indescribable confusion in Chi Li's originally lazy voice, but his hands did the complete opposite, hugging her tighter, not caring at all that the black and blood on her body would stain his pure white suit.
...
When Jiang Jiu woke up again, she sat up suddenly from the bed. The scene before she fainted was still stuck on Chi Li finding her, and her mind was unable to react for a while.
The breeze blew her hair through the curtains. Jiang Jiu turned her head and saw the lush trees outside. It was completely different from the doomsday scene. It was peaceful and quiet, like another world.
Jiang Jiu looked around the room. Most of it was in light-colored wooden style, and many places were decorated with warm and cute little dolls, making the room particularly cozy.
"This is... the Sekirei family?"
Jiang Jiu wasn't sure, but she could imagine a little fox lazily lying on those soft little blankets, basking in the warm sunshine outside.
"Yes, it's my home."
Chi Li pushed the door open and walked in. As if he heard Jiang Jiu's question, he answered it indifferently.
"Thank you for saving me."
Jiang Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to pat her chest. Only then did she realize that her body seemed to be free of the wounds she had suffered before she fell into a coma, and her clothes were also very clean, without any stains from dirt and smoke.
Perhaps realizing what Jiang Jiu wanted to ask, Chi Li pulled out the chair in front of her window and spoke immediately.
"I changed your clothes, but you healed your wound yourself."
Jiang Jiu paused as he was pulling at the clothes, his face flushing red.
"Wait, you've seen...my body?"
This feeling is completely different from kissing, hugging, and holding hands in the world of cultivation!
The current appearance of this body is her own!
It's not a body created by heaven, but her original one!
Although it is not the original, at least it looks exactly the same.
If I were to be seen naked by Chi Li...
Chi Li took in Jiang Jiu's panicked expression. A hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, and then he spoke slowly.
"So what if I've seen it? I saved your life."
Chi Li's words made Jiang Jiu's body stiffen, and his eyes were full of confusion.
He's actually right, but...
Psychologically, I still feel a little uncomfortable.
This may be the price of playing with butter...
Jiang Jiu wants to cry but has no tears.
"You're lying, I didn't see it."
Seeing that Jiang Jiu pursed his lips and seemed unhappy, Chi Li rubbed his temples and began to explain.
"real?!"
Jiang Jiu raised his head in surprise.
"Well, now explain to me why there is a doomsday scene outside, and why your body automatically heals itself after you enter the city."
Sekirei folded his arms, adopting an interrogation stance.
"?"
Jiang Jiu was confused by the questions because she didn't know the answers to these two questions.
"Don't try to get away with it. I saved you because I want to know the reasons behind all this. You'd better tell the truth."
Chi Li's narrow fox eyes were half-closed, and although his tone was not fierce, there was still an indescribable sense of threat just by looking at his expression.
"I...I don't know either."
After Jiang Jiu said this, he couldn't help feeling guilty and immediately added.
"I only know that this must be an illusion, and the purpose of this illusion is to kill me."
She had no intention of lying to Chi Li. With his extremely high IQ, he would know it sooner or later anyway.
“....”
Chi Li sat up slightly, with a probing look in his eyes.
"As you said, I am also part of this illusion? I exist just to kill you?"
His guess startled Jiang Jiu, who immediately shook his head and waved his hands.
"No, no, you were just manipulated and ordered to kill me. You are a living little fox, not born from an illusion."
Ginger Wine continued.
Chi Li looked at Jiang Jiu and saw that there was no trace of lying on his face, so he couldn't help but believe it a little.
"Are we on good terms?"
He asked.
Jiang Jiu nodded vigorously.
"We are...lovers?"
Chi Licai.
“No…no!”
Jiang Jiu quickly denied it. It would be troublesome if she agreed to such a thing. If Chi Li remembered it after they went out, he would definitely force her to fulfill her promise.
"Um?"
A hint of doubt flashed across Chi Li's eyes. The throbbing in his chest could not be faked. Without knowing anything, his heart began to beat violently uncontrollably when he hugged Jiang Jiu's body, as if he had met his sweetheart.
How to explain it if Jiangjiu denied his guess.
"Anyway, we are not. You will know when you regain your memory..."
Jiang Jiu didn't know how to explain the relationship between them. It would be too long and troublesome to explain. Besides, Chi Li didn't remember her now. It would be troublesome if he thought she was a patient with delusions after hearing the truth.
"We are friends, yes, we are friends."
She spoke in a hurried tone, afraid of what Sekirei would say next.
"Don't worry about it for now. The scene outside only started to crumble after I left the city, so I think the range of stability of this illusion is limited."
Jiang Jiu changed the topic to what Chi Li was most concerned about at the moment and began to speculate based on the existing information.
"As soon as I went out, a large number of skyfire meteors fell outside. Maybe they were trying to stop me from discovering the truth, or they were the core of the illusion, or they might be the hiding place of the culprit."
As expected, Chi Li's attention was drawn to this matter, and he looked thoughtful.
"If you want to find out the truth, you must leave the city, but given your physical condition, it may be difficult."
He was right. Jiang Jiu was well aware of his situation, but this was also the only way to break the deadlock.
"Even if you don't say it, I know that the relationship between us is definitely more than just friends. The so-called illusion not only trapped you, but also trapped me. I can help you."
Chi Li spoke very seriously, and Jiang Jiu knew he was not lying.
