This car is simply not fit for human passengers...
To reiterate, this car is absolutely not for human use!
As I staggered off the vehicle, I felt the world around me constantly moving closer and further away, blurring and spinning. My limbs felt weak and powerless. If I hadn't used the vines extending from the vehicle for support, I might have slipped and fallen into some nearby ditch.
In contrast, Shen Xue, who looked like a sick person before boarding the train, jumped off the train lightly and smoothly, with natural control of her strength, showing no signs of discomfort whatsoever. Even her previously pale complexion recovered from her continuous... well, meditating? Anyway, in some very strange meditation posture throughout the journey, which made me grit my teeth in anger.
Why is she the only one who's okay?
"You've never exercised with that small frame, have you?"
Shen Xue watched me silently as I leaned against the wall, and finally sighed, reaching out her hand: "So weak. Give me your hand."
"You...! Never mind, a good man doesn't argue with a woman."
Since she was willing to help, I decided not to argue with her about who was stronger! Otherwise, if I were serious, I could have easily crushed her ten times over!
Then I felt my feet slip and I was turned sideways.
Upon closer inspection, what appeared before me was Shen Xue's magnified, icy face.
Me: "...? What are you doing?"
“It’s too much trouble to help you walk, so I’ll just pick you up and carry you for a while. There’s no need to be so shocked. Other positions are not convenient, so this is fine.”
Shen Xue maintained her icy expression; if it weren't for the faint blush on her face, I would have been completely fooled.
Can this iceberg-like swordsman actually get shy?
But, girl, have you ever considered that I'm a head taller than you? I know you're very strong, and you think it's convenient to carry me like this, but have you ever thought about how difficult it is for me? Not only do I have to be careful not to touch... well, I already have, but I also have to be mindful of the stares that will soon be directed at us! We're almost at the city gate!
Shen Xue raised an eyebrow: "Then get down and walk yourself?"
After hesitating for two seconds, feeling my limbs still somewhat disoriented and unable to complete sensory matching, I decisively chose to play dead.
Then he met the sidelong glance of the jujube horse beside him.
Okay, please tone down the disdain in your eyes, thank you. Thank you for choosing silence at this time, but Flower Fairy, I know you're still watching.
With a disdainful snort, the jujube horse stamped its feet a few times, and in the blink of an eye, the vine-woven carriage dispersed and disappeared underground again. Only the little pink flower, which still maintained its original appearance, floated down from mid-air, turned on its own, and shrank back into my pocket.
Great, that way no one will notice my embarrassing situation for now. I just need to use this time to regain control of my disordered senses...
Shen Xue's arms were undeniably steady and strong. Even when holding an adult man, there was no tremor. Her slender hands were incredibly powerful, and the thick calluses on her fingers did not diminish her beauty in the slightest. Instead, they spoke volumes about the hard work she had endured.
I cleared the cool fragrance and softness I felt beside me from my mind, closed my eyes, and gathered the senses that were already covering my body, allowing them to penetrate deeper into my body.
Like an alternative form of blood, the slightly diluted magic circulates within the body after excessive use. Although a small amount occasionally goes astray, it corrects itself, circulating through the body and converging towards the heart and the back of the brain, adding a meager amount.
My senses quickly completed the cycle along this path, and unsurprisingly, I found blockages at some of the branches, some even exhibiting characteristics of highly concentrated magical lumps. Such magical lumps could only form on the surface of a ore in a long-stagnant magical field, or within the body of a seasoned archmage who hadn't used spells for decades. But now, another answer surfaced in my mind—these were remnants of the magic stone I had consumed in my haste to replenish my magic, which, before fully reacting and releasing its power, had been brutally extracted.
For elderly archmages, discovering magical lumps and blockages within their bodies can be quite troublesome. After all, their physical bodies are aging, and their magical circuits are often dormant. A slight mishap could easily lead to their sudden death. Furthermore, once they reach the level of unleashing magical rings, there is a chance that they could cause serious harm and contamination to those around them. This is one of the reasons why elderly archmages often prefer to live in secluded rural areas.
But for me, this is not a difficult thing.
It's fair to say that youth sometimes gives you an advantage in most things. As long as you can guide the still-thin magic power to accurately remove those hardened magic lumps from critical areas and store them in less important organs, or simply put them back into the stomach, they can completely dissolve after a period of time, and it can also increase the speed of magic power recovery.
That's not difficult.
Having made up my mind, I informed Miyuki and then focused on the operation. I could feel Miyuki, who was carrying me, slowing her pace slightly, as if to keep me as stable as possible and prevent any deviation.
Trying to move a heavier block of magical energy with a small amount of magic is indeed difficult, much like hoping a stream can move a boulder blocking its path. The boulder may not be particularly large or heavy, but it still has a decisive advantage in the face of such a small impact. However, my perception is not like the unconscious flow of water. After guiding the small amount of magic energy to gather and repeatedly wash over the block, the first boulder was gradually removed by me at a slow but steady pace.
