The dizziness in his head gradually eased. The spirit hunt happened yesterday, but in Xia Xiao's mind it seemed like a long time ago. It was like something from his previous life. He couldn't even remember what he said. The spectacular scene of the city lord and others cutting off their own arms also became extremely vague, making him somewhat doubtful about the truth of the incident. But the pain from his injuries made him sure that those things had indeed happened.
His eyes were sleepy and a little sore. Xia Xiao squinted his eyes and saw the woman beside the bed, which was a little strange. His first reaction was why was it not Shu Shuang?
The woman sat on the chair, leaning forward, lying on Xia Xiao's legs. Because her face was turned to the side, Xia Xiao couldn't tell who she was, but it was definitely not Shu Shuang, whose hair was longer than hers. But she had a great figure, with a perfect proportion between her waist and chest and hips under her belt, and an attractive curve.
Is it Huiyue? Judging from her breasts, she should be.
Xia Xiao closed his eyes and decided to sleep for a while.
There was a dull pain in his chest, but Xia Xiao could still fall asleep. When he woke up again, there were two women in front of him, one sitting on a chair and the other leaning against the wall. They looked calm and quietly guarded him. When they saw him wake up, they happily came forward.
"It's all right."
Shu Shuang's voice was gentle, which made Xia Xiao feel good. He supported himself and leaned his upper body against the wall.
"Well, you guys chat, I'll go buy some porridge."
Huiyue walked very fast because she was afraid of what Xia Xiao would say. Xia Xiao looked at her, and Shu Shuang explained:
"You've been unconscious for a day and a half, and I just woke up. Sister Huiyue has been taking care of us all this time, so don't let her go."
"good!"
Xia Xiao agreed readily this time. This was a favor and a favour, and he had to repay it. There was no reason to do it the same way as before. The most important thing was that the danger was gone now, and Lin Jing didn't dare to do anything to him again, unless he didn't want to live.
"By the way, there's a letter from uncle and aunt."
"What does the letter say?"
Xia Xiao cares a lot about his family and is afraid of missing anything.
"My uncle and aunt heard about our situation and were very worried about us, but they didn't come to Rongcheng. They hoped that we could get out of danger on our own."
“Very much like my father’s style.”
Xia Xiao lifted the quilt and Shu Shuang reached out to support him.
Xia Xiao's injuries have almost healed. The speed is somewhat surprising, but he always feels that his potential is more than that.
After preparing the four treasures of the study, Xia Xiao picked up the pen and put it down again.
"You should come here. My handwriting is ugly."
Shu Shuang smiled and wrote a letter according to Xia Xiao's instructions.
When Huiyue came back, the scene in the living room was somewhat beautiful. The setting sun outside the window shone on the used paper and pen on the table. Xia Xiao sat on a chair and read it. He sealed it up when he thought it was good. Shu Shuang stood beside him, quietly watching him appreciate his own words, feeling a little satisfied.
Huiyue felt that she was a little redundant, so she put down the two servings of rice porridge and said something hesitantly.
"Have a good rest. I'm ready to leave."
After saying that, she walked out. Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang looked at each other and shrugged. He didn't do anything.
“What a hassle.”
Xia Xiao sighed, put the letter down, and walked out.
Standing on the second floor, the street was bustling with people. Huiyue had just walked out of the stairs and stood outside the pharmacy.
"Hey, Huiyue!"
The woman downstairs looked back and looked up at Xia Xiao.
"Thanks."
Xia Xiao's tone was quite gentle, and he nodded slightly. He couldn't laugh anymore, he wasn't used to that. But at that moment, Huiyue still felt a little moved. She stood in the crowd, watching Xia Xiao trying his best to raise the corners of his mouth, and she felt a little amused. The stone in her heart finally fell, it seemed that Xia Xiao didn't hate her that much!
"Let's go!"
Huiyue raised her slender arms and waved them twice.
"Um... come back when you have time."
Huiyue agreed, nodded and walked into the crowd. Recalling Xia Xiao's tone, she put her hands behind her back and walked briskly. She was free tomorrow, so she could come tomorrow.
Xia Xiao watched her go away, and sat with Shu Shuang, drinking porridge face to face. After sleeping for so long, the rice porridge has become fragrant, and it would be even better if there were preserved eggs and pickles.
"There are still two months left, we have to make further progress!"
Shu Shuang wiped her mouth and asked Xia Xiao:
"Jumang wakes up so slowly, should we improve our combat effectiveness through other means?"
"There is no problem with the local competition, but considering Wanling Valley, we need to improve. Do you have any good suggestions?"
When Xia Xiao asked this, Shu Shuang immediately put down the spoon and wiped her mouth.
"You can try to learn the talisman array!"
"Talisman array? I'm not a talisman master."
When he reached the seed-condensing stage, the vital energy he could mobilize was indeed enough to cast a small-scale talisman formation. But Xia Xiao was not a talisman master, and he didn't know if his mental strength was enough. That kind of thing was difficult to detect, and even more difficult to improve.
"You can try it. I know one and can teach you."
"Okay, let's try it tomorrow. I'll get myself in shape today."
"Uh-huh!"
Shu Shuang looked at her own hands and tried to make a seal. Fortunately, she still remembered the order. As long as she taught Xia Xiao this one, the others would come easily!
"Have a good rest. I'm going to practice."
Xia Xiao placed his palm on Shu Shuang's head, causing her to shrink her neck, feeling pampered. She watched Xia Xiao walk into the room, and without closing the door, she sat down on the bed.
Shu Shuang leaned against the door frame, looked at Xia Xiao, and smiled sweetly.
"Come on, come on, don't fall behind!"
Xia Xiao just made a hand seal and took his words into his ears, and couldn't help but smile. Every time he said that he couldn't hold back, it seemed that he was very weak, but in fact he was much stronger than himself.
Now that you have started practicing, you should calm down and not waste time. Xia Xiao's eyes were dark, with only one seed emitting light. Because of its highly condensed vitality, it was dark yellow, like a slightly dimmed sun, somewhat magical.
The energy of heaven and earth flowed into Xia Xiao's body, and he moved his mind slightly, and then poured it on the energy seed. This is the method of cultivating the seed. With oneself as soil and energy as water, the energy seed is absorbed again and again, and then the energy tree is nurtured. This process is boring, because it is extremely long. After watering for a long time, there is no reaction at all.
Many practitioners want to advance to the realm of nobility as soon as possible, to achieve qualitative changes, and thus be reborn. However, even if the seeds of vital energy that are eager for success sprout, they cannot grow into towering trees. Therefore, in order to ensure stability in the future, Xia Xiao takes every step very slowly, but more steadily than anyone else.
Xia Xiao's perception would be amplified every time he absorbed vital energy, covering half of the street. He could hear everyone's voice, although it was vague, but the fluctuation was somewhat similar to vital energy. Humans are an indispensable part of this great wilderness world!
This kind of cultivation feels very wonderful. It is not the first time for Xia Xiao to enter, so he enjoys this feeling, allowing the vitality to continue to enter his body and then nourish the vitality seed. When it sprouts, it will be a shocking scene. This small seed is not just a vitality seed!
Next door, Shu Shuang was doing the same thing. But Shu Shuang absorbed the energy a little faster than Xia Xiao, as if she had an extraordinary attraction to energy.
Slowly, Shu Shuang also fell into a very magical state. She could see everything in the world. But she didn't care. She was always like this when she practiced. She even thought that everyone would be like this. After all, she didn't feel that she was any different, except for the vitality that would burst out from time to time in her body.
