Achoo!
When Yan Jiu sneezed for the fifth time.
I finally realized she might be sick.
System: [Hiss, the host can get sick?]
In the system's eyes, Yan Jiu was a god-like figure with a head of bronze and arms of iron.
Can God get sick?
cannot!
Yan Jiu frowned: "This body is human, and humans are subject to birth, aging, sickness, and death."
She thought that it must be because of the Creation Pearl that her soul left her body, which allowed the virus to take advantage of her weakened state; otherwise, given her physical condition, she wouldn't have gotten sick.
Country R is definitely not a place for humans to live.
Yan Jiu huddled cross-legged in bed, holding the water cup Jiang Azi handed her, with a fever-reducing patch on her forehead.
Jiang Azi asked worriedly, "Shall we go to the hospital, Ajiu?"
Yan Jiu shook her head.
She recovers easily from illness.
Just take a nap.
However, the sick Yan Jiu looked extremely weak, like a mochi wrapped in Leo crumbs.
One poke and it's soft.
Jiang Azi was still worried, but she always respected Yan Jiu's opinion. She coaxed the person to finish drinking the Chinese medicine she had brewed, and only left after watching the person close their eyes and fall asleep.
In her daze, Yan Jiu had a dream.
She dreamed of her childhood.
I dreamt that my master and fellow disciples were both there.
But then the scene shifts, and her senior brother walks away first, and then her master also goes in the opposite direction.
She wanted to follow, but stepped into an abyss and couldn't climb out. It felt like a venomous spider hiding in the darkness, trapping her with its venom and fine web.
Yan Jiu struggled to get up, and when she suddenly opened her eyes, she found herself tightly covered by a thick quilt.
The culprit was none other than little Chu Nian, who was using all her strength to press down on the corner of the blanket.
Chu Nian muttered, "My sister sleeps even more restlessly than I do. What will my sister do without me?"
Yan Jiu: "..." I won't have nightmares without you.
With her long arms outstretched, like a giant eagle spreading its wings, she held the chick firmly in her embrace.
Chu Nian wasn't afraid at all; instead, she giggled when she saw people: "Sister?"
Yan Jiu smiled, carried the baby out of the bedroom with one arm, and handed the chick to Chu Ma who came to greet her.
"Xiao Jiu, has your fever gone down?" Chu's mother placed her palm on Yan Jiu's forehead, her face full of worry. After making sure the temperature had come down, she breathed a sigh of relief and took Chu Nian into her arms: "Nian Nian, you promised not to disturb your sister's rest."
Chu Nian pouted, "Nian Nian is helping her sister defeat the Virus King, she's not being naughty~"
Yan Jiu patted Chu Nian's round head: "I'm fine, why did you guys come over?"
Chu's mother said worriedly, "You didn't even tell your mother you were sick. If Azi hadn't called, we wouldn't have known."
They were used to Yan Jiu's prowess, but they forgot that Yan Jiu was also human and had a vulnerable side.
Yan Jiu, who was considered weak, had no choice but to accept it.
No matter how she explained, with Chu's mother's preconceived notions, she couldn't successfully shed her facade of weakness.
then.
After Guan Zian and Yan Jiu discussed it, the news that "Yan Jiu is bedridden" spread like wildfire.
soon.
This incident, once it spread online, directly confirmed the "fact" that Yan Jiu would be weakened after saving someone, and it also reached the ears of Leviathan, who was in R country looking for He Mao Shigeaki.
Open the internet.
The news was all about Yan Jiu being sick and trending on social media.
[So even Master Jiu can get sick!?]
[This must be the price paid for saving lives!]
My poor husband.
People are making a bit of a fuss over this.
[What do you know, upstairs? It's rare for Master Jiu to have something in common with ordinary people!]
Leviathan scoffed.
Will Yan Jiu get sick?
It's even less believable than the Earth exploding.
It's probably just another deliberate rumor to mislead them and lower their guard; he won't fall for it.
But when Leviathan clicked on Yan Jiu's account and saw the comments below about "the price of saving lives," he began to believe it, since Yan Jiu had never saved anyone before the plane crash.
Leviathan came up with a plan, a way to avenge Baphomet and weaken Yan Jiu even further.
He held a scepter, dressed in a gentleman's suit, with a top hat covering half his face, making it impossible to see his expression; only his bloodshot eyes were visible.
Someone must take responsibility for Baphomet's death.
Leviathan's lips curled into a charming yet dangerous smile. He would turn Yan Jiu into a black swan with its neck choked, on the verge of death, only able to utter its final lament.
ยท
Achoo!
Yan Jiu, holding her phone, suddenly sneezed, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
She quickly explained, "It's not a recurrence of my illness."
Chu Nian plopped down in Yan Jiu's lap, avoiding her mother's gaze. She pulled a handful of candy from her bag and whispered, "Nian Nian understands. Sister is just worried that the medicine will be too bitter."
Yan Jiu caught the candy that Chu Nian presented like a treasure. Before she could even say thank you, Chu's mother, in order to control Chu Nian's sugar intake, got up without even putting on her shoes and chased after Chu Nian for the remaining candy.
"Great, Chu Xiaonian, you've even learned how to hide candy."
"Sister, help me!"
The room was filled with laughter and cheers, sweeping away Yan Jiu's heavy mood caused by the nightmare.
Yan Jiu's smile deepened. She thought, this must be the reason Jiang Azi told her that Chu Ma was sick.
Guan Zian saw Yan Jiu smile.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't know what Yan Jiu had gone through on this trip, but he could see the heaviness in Yan Jiu's heart. Her illness was both a physical protest and an outpouring of her emotions. He suggested that Jiang Azi contact the Chu family, hoping to help Yan Jiu recover completely.
General Turan is not here.
