Chapter 20 Secret Threat



Ji Qingyan half leaned against the head of the bed, watching her sit dejectedly on the ground outside the door. He had seen her behavior just now, and it seemed that she could not open the door.

If she couldn't even open the door, it meant that her ability might not be that mysterious. Upon realizing this, he felt a deep sense of relief.

It was late at night, and he was still excited. He could hardly smell the fragrance of the flowers. Why was he able to smell it from such a distance the first time, but now it was just outside the door and he couldn't feel the fragrance?

But he had no intention of bringing the flowers in. He would only strike when everything was ready.

He began to force himself to sleep, tossing and turning. As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw an endless black hole, which made him scared and panicked, and soon he broke out in a cold sweat.

His memory couldn't help but go back to his childhood, when he was locked up alone in a very dark little room. Or maybe it wasn't a room, he just knew it was a very small space with no light around.

He wanted to escape but there was no way. No one paid attention to him and there was no food. He didn't know how much time had passed and every second was torture.

Everything was dark, as if there were insects biting him. He was so scared that he cried and screamed until he was hoarse and could not make any sound. He lay quietly in the darkness for a long time. When he thought he was going to die, a dazzling light came in.

The light was so bright that he didn't dare to open his eyes, he didn't dare to move, and he had no consciousness at all. He only felt that there was an abyss and insects were biting him and trying to eat him.

He forced himself out of his memories, but the cold sweat on his forehead kept increasing. He felt anxious and his hands were shaking unconsciously. He got out of bed in a panic, took the medicine from the drawer, poured out two pills and swallowed them.

He slowly calmed down, but still couldn't get over it. Although he tried his best to hide, the darkness, the fear, and the feelings would find him at night.

He wanted to open the door and get his antidote, how could someone who had tasted sunlight want darkness again, but he couldn't.

He simply took out his notebook again. Every night when he couldn't fall asleep, he would immerse himself in work. He knew that everyone called him a robot behind his back, but he had no choice and didn't care.

The high-intensity work pressure actually made him feel more at ease. He didn't know how long it had passed, probably in the early morning, and his body was alerting him.

He had to fall asleep, otherwise he might die suddenly. He took two special sleeping pills.

Under the effect of the medicine, he gradually fell asleep, but from his furrowed brows it could be seen that his sleep quality had not improved.

After Ruan Ruan outside the door failed to open the room, she simply went back and decided not to absorb any spiritual energy today. She would cultivate the spiritual energy she had absorbed in the past two days into spiritual power.

When she has cultivated enough, she will be able to proceed to the first stage of incarnation, but the road is long and arduous, and she is being lazy today.

She was guilty, she hadn't practiced at all, couldn't touch him, and couldn't absorb his spiritual energy.

After a good night’s sleep, she will definitely practice tomorrow!

Having made up her mind, she skipped back to sleep.

Ji Qingyan slept very uneasily and woke up very early. His mind was already working at high speed. Combined with yesterday's situation, he was almost 80% sure that he was not well. The good sleep he had these days was brought to him by the pot of flowers.

When did he start to hesitate? His body was already on the verge of collapse. So what if there were monsters? As long as they could be used by him, they would be a help.

There is nothing he can't do, without exception. Deep in his calm eyes is madness, that is his.

But she had to be under his control.

After he got up, he went straight to the greenhouse where Ruan Ruan was. With a clear goal in mind, he carried Ruan Ruan away. The moment he came into contact with her, a special aura formed around her. To Ruan Ruan, it was spiritual energy, but to Ji Qingyan, it was the antidote.

The moment he held her in his arms, Ji Qingyan felt much better. Ruan Ruan also woke up under the embrace of spiritual energy. When she saw herself in her arms, she hurriedly absorbed the spiritual energy.

If she could still keep these flowers company at night, she would have to seize every opportunity to absorb spiritual energy.

However, it seems that my benefactor did not sleep well, as there is a hint of blue in his eyes.

Ruan Ruan was giving him spiritual power while complaining.

She is not allowed to go in. If she is not allowed to go in, who will give her spiritual power? She will not be able to sleep well, huh.

Ji Qingyan felt a comfortable power enveloping him, a very unreal, indescribable feeling. Accompanied by a faint floral fragrance, he looked down at Ruan Ruan in his arms.

Her small leaves secretly stretched out and were touching him. He didn't know if she did something, but he deliberately moved the flowerpot away and the leaves left his arm.

Although I can still smell the fragrance of the flowers, the feeling I had just now is gone.

Ruan Ruan was in the process of transporting the leaves, but the leaves could not reach her and were interrupted. It turned out that the leaves were too far away when they were shaking while going down the stairs.

She took the opportunity to adjust her body movements, stretching the leaves a little, and then quietly touched and pulled them up, and then she transported them again. Seeing that he looked so pitiful, she didn't bother with him.

Although he drove her out, Hua Mei was kind-hearted after all. Besides, she was her benefactor, and there was a causal relationship between her and him. She lived because of him and was saved by him, so she needed to repay him for all these.

But at the moment she didn't know what he needed. The only thing she could see was that he didn't sleep well.

This is all I can do for now.

Ji Qingyan, who had been observing Ruan Ruan, saw her little leaf secretly touching him again. For some reason, he wanted to laugh, like a little child. Sure enough, he felt it again, and he could feel every change in his body clearly.

This time he didn't push her away. He knew clearly that her current behavior would not harm him at all, but would help him instead.

I don't know if he is naive or stupid, or maybe he has something she wants, otherwise it is hard for him to understand why she does this. He doesn't believe that being nice to someone is just for the sake of it.

He calmly placed Ruan Ruan on the table, played the video slowly, and then deliberately adjusted it to a position where Ruan Ruan could just see it.

When Ruan Ruan heard the voice, she was curious about what he was watching, but when she saw that he was stiff, she saw that the video was talking about the veins of plants, cutting from the rhizome, and gently scratching, peeling, and picking with a knife.

Ruan Ruan's heart was tightly clenched and could not let go. The stiff leaves dared not move at all. The wind blew slightly, but it did not move at all.

Ji Qingyan saw her stiffen. Was she frightened to such an extent? She was too easily frightened. Anyway, his goal was achieved, so he casually clicked on the next video.

He took a sip of coffee with pleasure, admiring her furtive little movements.

It took Ruan Ruan a while to react. Could it be that she had been discovered? Was she going to be skinned alive and have her tendons pulled out? Was her short and beautiful life going to end like this?

She stole a glance at him, and he was watching the next financial news video and handling his work as usual.

She didn't see anything either.

He didn't look at her, just doing his work.
