Chapter 111: Don't disturb your reminiscence
Lilith's hand inevitably froze. She took a deep breath and tried to pull her wrist free.
“I saw it, but…”
"Then why didn't you approve my application? Because I was at the back of the queue, so you think it's okay to ignore it?"
Those gentle eyes were now slightly sinister, and in their light-colored pupils, Lilith's figure was reflected.
"You hurt me."
The girl spoke coldly. The confrontation between the two attracted the attention of the other sentries, who cast glances at them, some obvious and some subtle.
Lilith lowered her head, her voice muffled.
"Didn't you see what the sentinels who walked out of my place looked like? My healing method is different from other guides. You won't like it."
In order to escape the control of Count Willand, she came to the Far March Army. Lilith did not think Shen Jiaxu would accept her treatment method.
She just wanted to get rid of him quickly and return to her residence to cooperate with the experiment. Xie Huan had already agreed with her on a time in the evening, and she didn't want to be late again.
Once again... well, why again?
But after hearing this, Shen Jiaxu's expression turned even uglier. He pulled Lilith's arm hard and pulled her in front of him.
"How do you know if I like it if you haven't tried it?"
"You..." Are you sick?
Lilith was about to curse out loud, but she bit her lip. Shen Jiaxu had no reason to be so paranoid towards her. He always cared about his appearance and would rather put himself in a difficult position to pretend to be gentle and elegant.
It is unreasonable to use violence against a weak guide in public.
Calm down, Lilith told herself. Through the blurry mirror, she saw the inquiry hidden in Shen Jiaxu's eyes.
His fingertips rubbed Lilith's wrist, and his thumb slowly rubbed the artery until the small piece of skin turned red.
He was measuring and testing it. Was the helmet still too strange, so it aroused his suspicion?
"How long have you been part of the exploration team? You've been in the contaminated area for so long, and your mental stress is on the verge of exploding. Have you received any treatment yet?"
In Lilith's view, Shen Jiaxu was like a large light bulb that was still glowing in the night. His mental power could not be well focused, but instead scattered traces of pollutants.
If the spiritual sea was originally calm, now Shen Jiaxu seemed to be in a storm. No wonder his emotions were so abnormal.
Lilith glanced at the sentries watching the excitement, turned her wrist, and placed her fingers on his palm.
"Calm down, Shen Jiaxu. Your current condition is very abnormal. It's not that I'm ignoring your request for treatment. My body can no longer heal. You need to find a guide who is more powerful than me."
She politely refused.
"You know I'm only B-rank. It's already a stretch for me to provide you with spiritual counseling. If I become exhausted during the treatment, I'm afraid it might cause a riot in your spirit."
"Is this your reason?"
Shen Jiaxu placed his fingertips in the girl's palm and looked at the person who was walking towards him.
"So you'll treat me once you've recovered your energy? I'll be waiting for you, R. Don't lie to me."
The painful fingertips were loosened, and the tall sentry took a step back, a gentle and elegant smile on his face.
Lilith quickly put her hands behind her back and curled them up a few times. The tingling sensation was really itchy. She decided to get away with it for the time being. If Shen Jiaxu applied again later, she would put the captain and others in the front!
If you want her to receive treatment, wait for the next life!
She coughed lightly and wanted to walk around Shen Jiaxu, but he bent down slightly and put his cheek next to Lilith's ear.
"I'm sorry for being a bit rude to you. I won't interrupt you now. See you next time."
Reminisce?
Lilith was trying to grasp the key words, but before she could ask, she saw Shen Jiaxu had already left. A calm and restrained voice came from behind her.
"R, are the sentries harassing you?"
Xie Huan stared at the sentry's back as he walked away, and he felt that he looked familiar. However, he also heard a little argument. In order not to affect the guide's mood for the experiment, he asked,
"Uh, it's okay. Didn't we agree to do an experiment? I still have plenty of mental strength, so I can proceed."
Lilith said to Xie Huan as she walked, she was still thinking about those two words in her mind,
'Reminiscing?'
Why did Shen Jiaxu say this for no reason? Did he guess something? Did he know that she and Xie Huan knew each other, or was he just talking nonsense?
Fighting the fox was such a headache, Lilith thought dejectedly, not noticing that the sentry beside her had stopped and wanted to continue forward.
"Please wait."
Just as she said the words of dissuasion, Lilith looked up at Xie Huan blankly, but her body instinctively moved forward. Unexpectedly, her forehead hit the warm palm of his hand.
"Are you really full of mental strength, R?"
The door opened automatically. Lilith rubbed her forehead, feeling a little dizzy.
"I've replenished my spiritual energy from eleven sentinels in a row, so of course it's abundant, but..."
She walked to the sofa like a wandering soul and pounced on it.
"I'm just very tired."
She almost forgot that she had been held by the sentries for the past few days. Those guys always liked to hug her tightly, like a koala. As a result, she now felt sore in her waist and back, and her legs felt like they were not her own.
"But it won't affect the experiment, don't worry."
If it weren't for that hateful guy Lewis affecting her mood, she wouldn't have tried so hard.
"How do I do it? Do I drink the reagent directly or do I need to inject it?"
Lilith adjusted to a more comfortable posture and looked at Xie Huan lazily.
He changed into another suit, a lighter shade of dark blue than before, with a brown waistcoat tucked into the collar, and a beautiful Windsor knot on his plaid tie.
Originally, he did not agree to conduct the experiment in the guide's residence, but wanted to do it in the treatment room.
But the memories inside were too complicated, and Lilith found it difficult to concentrate on her mental power.
As for Louis, it was even more impossible. She couldn't help itching when she saw him.
"You need to relax first. Tight muscles will affect the effectiveness of the reagent."
Xie Huan pressed his eyebrows, feeling more and more that agreeing to conduct the experiment in a private place was a wrong decision.
"I need hot water, hot towels and a massager... I almost forgot there's no massager here."
"Can you use something else instead?"
Lilith thought for a moment and picked up something from the carpet that would definitely be blurred.
