Chapter 68: Bai's spirit is weak and weak, like a little butterfly
Ai You didn't rush to ask whether there was any change in the relationship between Bai and Nan Qi. Mellon and the others were all there, so they still had to care about Bai's privacy.
What's more worth asking is the strange big cat in the video that can only merge with Nan Qi. The cat is pitch black all over, with shiny fur and lustrous eyes. Its eyes are a lustrous emerald green, like a piece of the finest green crystal. Its nine big furry tails cover the sky and the sun, and it dances with extraordinary momentum.
He saw Melon and the others being teased by the big cat's tail, saw the big cat's tail break through the void and slap Melon away, and saw that after the big cat and Nan Qi merged, they rushed out of the void and slapped Pu Bo directly to the ground.
The whole process is very smooth and enjoyable to watch, unless you look at the bruised and battered Mellon and other insects.
After the video was finished playing, Ai You looked at Bai and asked, "What do you need the teacher to do?"
It was Ai You who took the initiative to ask to see how Nan Qi defeated Melon and the others, but before Bai took out the video of them practicing with Nan Qi, he said that he wanted to tell him something.
Now that he had finished reading it, although Ai You still didn't know what Bai wanted to tell him, he knew that he could definitely help Bai in some way.
Over the years, due to the Insect Emperor's fear and desire to train Bai and the others, Ai You gradually withdrew from the center of military power, causing Bai to suffer a lot at a young age.
Seeing Bai gradually consolidate his position and stand at the center of power in the military, replacing his functions, he, as Bai's teacher, was proud of Bai but also felt distressed.
I feel bad that Bai has to bear responsibilities that shouldn't be his to bear so early.
Now, Bai was doing better and better. He attracted most of the Insect King's attention and freed him for the most part, but it was also becoming increasingly difficult for him to move forward.
Not only are their every word and action monitored, but they are also infinitely magnified. Ordinary insects would have been crushed by such pressure long ago.
As a teacher, he has been idle for so long, it's time for him to do something.
Bai pondered for a moment: "Teacher, Nan Qi said that if we can also condense a spiritual body, it is very likely that we can control the mental turmoil, or at least it will not riot so easily."
"Spirit body?" Ai You asked, "Is that the big cat? Is that what Nan Qi's spiritual power condensed into? He's SSS-level, and a male insect. We are female insects, and our spiritual power is not even SSS-level. Can we condense it?"
Bai didn't say anything, he just closed his eyes slightly.
Suddenly, a flashing blue streak passed before the eyes of the insects. It was so bright and sparkling that it attracted their attention.
The trace flew around the insects and finally flew back to Bai, circling around him. In such light and shadow, Bai looked extremely sacred.
The insects held their breath and looked carefully. They found that the blue trace was not an illusion, but a small creature with a blurry image but clearly a butterfly flying around Bai.
Although the pattern on the butterfly's wings cannot be seen clearly, judging from the special flashing blue color, they are clearly white wings.
Melon exclaimed, "Bai, you condensed your spirit body? When did it happen?"
Bai Ergen blushed. It was during the pause between him and Nan Qi last night that he discovered that his spiritual body had actually taken shape.
He had clearly been unable to condense his spiritual body before, but when he was communicating deeply with Nan Qi last night, his spiritual power was tightly entangled by Nan Qi's spiritual power. He lost consciousness in extreme pleasure, and when he regained consciousness, his spiritual body had been successfully condensed.
In fact, last night's spirit was clearer and more complete than it is now. Under the bed, Nan Qi's spirit transformed into a small nine-tailed cat, chasing after his spirit.
On the bed, Nan Qi pressed him down tightly and for a moment he felt like he was going to die on the bed.
With a light cough, Bai gathered his thoughts. "I discovered this yesterday. Nan Qi said it was just a prototype, and it would take time to truly condense. However, after my spiritual body took shape, I was able to use my spiritual power more accurately, and my spiritual sea no longer felt like it was about to boil over at any moment."
"Is it so immediate?"
Pu Bo rushed to Bai, looked Bai up and down, stretched out his hand wanting to touch the blurry and transparent little butterfly, but seemed afraid of being scattered. Finally, he froze in the air and didn't move, which was very funny.
Bai couldn't bear it anymore, so the little butterfly fluttered and landed on Pu Bo's fingers.
Pu Bo didn't even dare to breathe. Compared to Nan Qi's powerful nine-tailed cat that chased them and beat them, Bai, the beautiful little butterfly, seemed too weak.
"Bai, Bai," Pu Bo said in a low voice, "Does your spirit body have any special abilities?"
Bai shook his head: "Not yet. I haven't been able to stabilize my spiritual body yet. Maybe after it stabilizes, I will leave. But even if not, it's okay. As long as our spiritual power can be stabilized, it will buy us enough time."
"Yes, it's already very good." Ai You's eyes were blazing. "Bai, the teacher knows what you want me to do. Let me select the insects to test the spirit body condensation method. I will definitely not let other insects suspect your precious child."
Bai: "..." His face felt a little hot.
He and Nan Qi had previously discussed who to choose to test this method, and the result of their discussion was to select female soldiers of all ranks in the army.
But even in the military with strict regulations, there is still the risk of information leakage.
The military is not an ironclad organization, and colleagues are not united in purpose.
He disagreed before, but Nan Qi persuaded him. However, he was still worried that the insects that would participate in the spiritual body refining had not been selected yet.
Later, he decided to wait until he condensed his spiritual body before selecting a female soldier to experiment with. Even if the information was leaked at that time, he could say that this was a method he had figured out and that Nan Qi would not be blamed.
The teacher's arrival today gave him new ideas.
Through yesterday's conversation, he knew that the teacher had been busy for the past ten years, so it would be most appropriate to hand this matter over to the teacher he trusted most.
Because if the leaders of the original plan to "liberate the female insects" had defected to the enemy camp, they would have been uprooted by the Insect King long ago.
"Then I'll trouble you, teacher." Bai said, "Nan Qi wants to be selected from the army and teach him personally, but I don't want him to show up. It's too dangerous."
Bai lowered his eyes. Whether it was for personal reasons or for the overall situation, the later Nan Qi was exposed, the better.
All the insects understood what Bai meant. Ai You patted Bai's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, no matter what the reason is, we will protect him."
Bai Weixiao nodded. At this moment, there was a knock on the door and Nan Qi's voice came from outside: "Can I come in?"
Todd, who was near the door, opened it quickly and saw Nan Qi carrying something with a virtuous look on her face. He didn't know why he remembered Nan Qi's ferocious look in the video and shuddered immediately.
It's so scary and so divisive.
Nan Qi looked at Todd suspiciously, wondering if he was sick or shivering for no reason.
"Is the air conditioning on too high?" Nan Qi walked in with a smile, put the freshly baked pastries on the coffee table in the audio-visual room, sat down next to Bai naturally, picked up a piece of pastry and put it in Bai's hand.
"Chestnut stuffing, you should like it."
Bai felt a little embarrassed because everyone was there, but he still couldn't refuse Nan Qi's preference for him. He took the pastry and took a bite under the gaze of the insects.
Instantly, Bai's eyes lit up, he called out to his curious friends, and personally took one for the teacher before speaking:
"Try it quickly, it's delicious. This is another way to cook wheat that Nan Qi found."
There was a hint of boasting in Bai's words, and Ai You smiled knowingly. His taciturn, iceberg-like disciple had finally met his spring, and the ice and snow began to melt, and spring began to bloom.
The rare gathering of all the members came to an end after they finished drinking the biscuits and drinks.
Melon was the most emotional. He held Aiyou's hand tightly and his eyes were red.
Ai You hugged him and patted his shoulder: "You have grown up and are very good. The teacher is proud of you."
"Teacher." Mellon pursed his lips tightly. After a while, he said, "Teacher, is he really good to you?"
Ai You was stunned for a moment, then his expression became softer, as if he was thinking of something happy, with happiness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
"Okay, very good, he is my lover." Ai You's voice was very soft, but it hit Mellon and the others' hearts hard.
After ruffling Melon's hair again, Ai You's eyes swept over Todd, Lunke, Pu Bo, and Bai behind Melon, and finally landed on Nan Qi's face.
After a long while, he nodded to Nan Qi and patted Meilong's head: "Okay, it's not like we won't see each other again. When there's a chance, the teacher will come out to find you."
After saying that, Ai You turned and left. When he reached the door, he waved to everyone with his back to him, and then took another step. His back seemed much more relaxed, as if some heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
Bai looked at Ai You's back and felt a little uncomfortable.
Nan Qi put his arm around Bai's waist, letting him lean against him, and whispered in his ear, "It's a good thing, Teacher, you've found a lover, and you've successfully transitioned from open to secret. You still have a long life ahead of you."
"I know." Bai leaned his body relaxedly on Nan Qi's shoulder, "I'm just worried."
"What are you worried about?"
"Prince Keppel. He has been in poor health. At the palace banquet, he seemed to be getting weaker. I'm worried... If something happens to him, I'm afraid it will be heartbreaking for the teacher."
This is a difficult problem. Prince Keppel is in poor health and is said to have been poisoned, making him even weaker.
Medical progress does not happen overnight. If it really comes to that point, they will not be able to stay even if they want to.
"If I could get all of Prince Keppel's medical records, I could try to study them. At least I could get him out of the wheelchair. I think I could do it," Popo interjected.
"Then why didn't the Insect Emperor ask you to treat Prince Keppel before?" Nan Qi didn't understand.
Pu Bo's words were full of confidence. Bai also said that Pu Bo was a genius in medicine and pharmacy.
I heard that the Insect Emperor had found many famous doctors to treat Prince Keppel’s terminally ill body, but why was Pu Bo the only one missing?
Nan Qi frowned. It seemed that the Insect King Hoover Walker did not value his royal brother as much as the rumors said.
Or rather, he didn't even trust his royal brother who had once protected him and blocked plots for him, and was always on guard against Prince Keppel.
After Nan Qi's questioning, Bai and Pu Bo also reacted, looked at each other, and murmured, "No way."
"Even if the Insect King has this idea, why have Prince Keppel and the teacher never thought of looking for Pu Bo?" Nan Qi asked.
A word woke the sleeping insect, and Bai's face immediately turned ugly.
The Insect Emperor did not look for Pu Bo because he did not want Prince Keppel to recover and pose a threat to his throne. It was also a test for Prince Keppel.
The teacher and Prince Keppel did not look for Pu Bo in order to reduce the Insect King's vigilance.
But for a seriously ill brother who loves his younger brother very much, he probably wouldn't want to die early because he wants to protect his younger brother forever.
Therefore, Prince Keppel’s refusal to seek treatment from Pu Bo was one of the reasons why the Insect Emperor had always distrusted him.
Things are getting a little troublesome.
