Chapter 146 One Wife, Two Husbands: A Difficult Problem
"Mother, when I advanced last time, I had a numb and itchy feeling in my body. Will I have that feeling again when I advance this time?"
Or rather, the higher my level, the more uncomfortable it becomes.
Gu Qing felt it was better not to dwell on this matter, as Gao Yan would feel that her son was being disloyal if they kept arguing.
If she tries to persuade him, she might get into trouble if things go wrong. But if she does manage to persuade him, Gao Yan might think that her son listens to his wife and not her.
Gao Yan frowned upon hearing her words. "According to previous data, the attack does indeed have the effect of cleansing the marrow and tendons, so pain is unavoidable."
But if your low-level acuity is already so obvious, you're probably in for a tough time ahead.
"Is it because I have a genetic defect?" Gu Qing also analyzed.
Gao Yan tapped her fingers repeatedly in the air, seemingly checking the AI. "That's certainly one of the reasons. How much longer until your advancement? I'll contact the Jin family."
Let's see if we can come up with a feasible plan.
"Probably within 10 days, but I'm not entirely sure." Gao Yan nodded in agreement with Gu Qing's statement. This kind of thing is normal; once you have this feeling, it's normal not to advance for a year or two.
"Alright, I'll check as soon as possible. You need to prepare more energy stones and energy pills. Since your level is low, you can't consume other high-energy energy pills, but you can consume those one level higher."
Gao Yan gave detailed instructions, and the three people on this side listened attentively and took careful notes.
Gu Qing had previously been learning online, but now, with guidance from professionals, it was truly like seeing the light after the clouds had parted.
“Jin Beiwang from the Jin family is here, I’ll go contact him!” Seeing that Gao Yan had said enough, Lou Xiaoyu quickly asked again.
"Okay, I'll let them know first."
Gu Qing thanked them again before hanging up, noticing that both of them were looking at her. Gu Qing smiled reassuringly, "Don't worry so much. I got through the first two times, and my constitution is stronger now than before, so I should be fine."
"I've been working from home these past two days so I can respond promptly if anything happens." Bo Chuan, not wanting to distract her, said this as if it were nothing.
“I don’t plan to go out these next couple of days. I’ll be working online, so I’ll just keep an eye on things.” Lou Xiaoyu thought Bo Chuan was being unnecessary, but having learned from past experience, he didn’t say anything.
"Besides, Ms. Gao knows about my situation, and my father must know as well. At such a critical time, he should share my burden."
Seeing him like this, Gu Qing reached out and slapped him, "Xiao Yu, why is your mouth always so unreliable? A perfectly good sentence sounds so bad when it comes through your mouth."
Lou Xiaoyu didn't seem to care that Gu Qing hadn't actually hit him; instead, he exuded an air of intimacy. He leaned closer to Gu Qing.
"Qingqing, am I not even a widow now? Why do you always side with outsiders?"
"Okay, hurry up and finish your food."
She turned to look at Bo Chuan and said, "Bo Chuan, this season is the perfect time for your legion to start clearing land and gathering resources. Don't let me interfere with your work. With Xiao Yu here, everything will be fine."
"You call him Xiaoyu, but I call him by his full name. And you won't even let me be with you at this crucial moment." Bo Chuan's words were filled with resentment.
Gu Qing really wanted to go back to ancient times and ask those men how they balanced having three wives and four concubines, but she still had to deal with it herself.
So I deliberately softened my tone.
“Brother Bo, I’m happy that you value me, but I don’t want to hinder your development. I feel the same way about your concern and care for me.”
Bo Chuan tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth, "Alright then, I'll try my best to finish things in the next two or three days, and then make time to watch you level up."
"Okay," Gu Qing readily agreed.
After completing the additional training on the morning of the second day, Lou Xiaoyu went out during his lunch break. Gao Yan had sent him a message earlier, saying that he was going to see Jin Beiwang.
Gu Qing originally wanted to go with him, but he disagreed. "Don't miss the training these two days. The stronger your physique, the less pain you'll experience when you level up, and the longer your resistance will last."
Gu Qing had no choice but to take a nap, and then in the afternoon she would pick the red peppers. The red peppers needed to be dried, but the place had all the necessary equipment.
All she had to do was give the smart assistant instructions. She also wrote down a few recipes for spicy dishes, so they could try them together at dinner.
She checked the two medicinal herbs and knew they would be ready to harvest in two or three days. Although the chili pepper field was cleared up, she didn't plant anything else in preparation for her upcoming advancement.
