134 Very happy
◎Axue, do you know?◎
A flash of white light passed by, and Qi Qiuxue returned to reality.
The injuries sustained in the dungeon would basically not be carried over into the real world. The wound on her abdomen had completely healed at this point, but the feeling of extreme pain that gradually turned into numbness seemed to still remain in her body.
But Qi Qiuxue had no intention of paying attention to these things. She had more important things to do right now.
——Qi Qiuxue quickly walked to the bedside, picked up the phone, lowered her eyes and dialed Li Yiqing's number.
"Beep, beep, beep..." The call was never picked up, but Qi Qiuxue didn't hang up and continued to wait patiently.
Until the prompt sounded: [The number you dialed is currently unanswered. Please call again later. Sorry...]
Qi Qiuxue pressed the hang-up button and called again.
She kept repeating the process of not getting through, hanging up, and redialing until the fifth time she dialed.
The call finally got picked up.
Qi Qiuxue took a deep breath and whispered her name: "A Qing."
"Yeah." Li Yiqing's voice came from the other end of the phone, and he sounded much better than before.
"I am here."
“…”
-
Li Yiqing lost the right to return to the divine realm. At this moment, she was like a lonely stray dog with nowhere to go, no, a skeleton.
So Qi Qiuxue kindly took her in and set aside a part of her private space to accommodate this stray skeleton.
When Li Yiqing pushed open the half-open door and walked into the house, she smelled the aroma of food. She looked up and saw Qi Qiuxue standing in the kitchen preparing dinner. The fragrance drifted towards her in the air. Li Yiqing had a very sensitive nose and could tell what Qi Qiuxue had done with just a sniff.
——Tomato beef brisket noodles.
Qi Qiuxue's cooking skills are neither good nor bad. She has no interest in cooking. As long as she can fill her stomach with every meal, it doesn't matter what the ingredients are or whether it tastes good or not.
She likes to cook a bowl of noodles for herself after getting home from get off work on weekdays because it is convenient and quick, and there are only a few types of noodles: egg noodles, tomato noodles, tomato and egg noodles... She rarely puts meat in her dish because it needs to be processed separately, which is very time-consuming.
But this time, she prepared beef brisket for Li Yiqing.
"What a nice smell." Li Yiqing walked into the kitchen and washed his hands quickly. "Axue, is there anything I can help you with?"
"No." Qi Qiuxue poured soy sauce into the spoon and gave the noodles the final seasoning. "It's almost done."
"Then I'll serve it." Li Yiqing quickly squatted down and took the bowls from the cupboard, and placed them on the table one by one. Qi Qiuxue's noodles happened to be out of the pot at this time.
Li Yiqing watched quietly as she packaged the noodles, and then transported them to the dining table in two trips. The large pieces of beef brisket on top looked delicious and chewy, and looked very appetizing.
"Here." Qi Qiuxue handed the chopsticks to her and sat down next to Li Yiqing.
The two of them lowered their eyes and enjoyed their dinner just like they did in the copy. No one spoke during the meal, and the only sound in their ears was the quiet chewing.
It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that Qi Qiuxue put down her chopsticks first and glanced over: "How do you feel?"
"It's delicious." Li Yiqing raised his lips and smiled.
Qi Qiuxue stared into her eyes and said softly, "You know that's not what I'm asking."
"It's nothing." So Li Yiqing stopped eating, turned his head and looked at her, and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, Xue, I made you worry."
Qi Qiuxue didn't look away, still looking into her eyes: "Will this punishment still exist in the next instance?"
Li Yiqing shook his head: "No."
Qi Qiuxue: "What about your eyes? If you use the skull again in the future, will you become blind again?"
Li Yiqing paused and thought carefully before saying, "Maybe, maybe not."
"This punishment bestowed by the Lord God will always be with me unless I successfully complete all dungeons, or die."
"I believe that given her personality, she will definitely use this punishment to its fullest extent. Rather than asking me to develop a pattern and prepare countermeasures before each use of the skull, it's better to randomize the content and catch me off guard."
"Maybe next time I'll lose my sense of smell, hearing, touch, or maybe my arms, legs, or some other organ in my body."
"Of course, the worst outcome could be life." Li Yiqing said calmly, as if he didn't care about his own life or death. He just said, "If this situation really happens, I hope Axue can take good care of herself."
"No matter what, you must survive."
After saying this, Qi Qiuxue fell silent.
So Li Yiqing also calmed down and looked into her eyes silently. Qi Qiuxue was a very thoughtful and powerful person. No matter what difficulties she encountered, she would not give up easily. As long as she had a breath left, she would definitely find a chance to turn the situation around.
"For your own safety, don't summon skeletons unless absolutely necessary." After a moment, Qi Qiuxue spoke in a deep voice, recalling the items Xie Xing had used on the others in the previous dungeon. "Obviously, there are many items in this game we haven't encountered yet, of all kinds and levels. Just like Xie Xing's glasses, there must be many more such targeted items."
"Contact lenses that restore sight, artificial arms that can replace limbs for flexible use, potions that enhance the sense of smell... perhaps there are even items that can give people a new lease on life. It's just that gathering all these things is not easy. Even if we enter more dungeons and achieve higher ratings, it's difficult to achieve this on our own."
"Before you came, I logged into the forum Su Wen mentioned and watched several item auctions. Every item there was very expensive, and it's beyond the reach of you and me at this stage. In that case, making the guild bigger and stronger is a good idea. Rather than trading, it's better to exchange and benefit each other."
Her tone was as firm as her gaze: "No matter what, I won't let you die easily. Even if it really comes to a life-or-death moment, I can be your eyes, arms, and legs."
"Don't forget what you promised me before." She said softly, "We agreed that we would live together."
“…”
She said a lot in one breath.
Li Yiqing had thought about this. In terms of her identity, she was at least a god. Even if she couldn't touch the core of the game, she still knew more than ordinary players. Even if Qi Qiuxue didn't say anything, she would try to save herself and do her best to survive.
But it is different after all.
Li Yiqing raised her hand and touched her heart. Ever since she had a heartbeat, she liked to stick with Qi Qiuxue more, liked to see her smile, liked to be touched and cared for by her, and liked to hear her care about her.
Including the kiss before.
That was the fastest time Li Yiqing's heart beat.
"I understand." After a moment, she raised her lips and responded to Qi Qiuxue's words with a smile, "I'll listen to Ah Xue."
"Can I ask you a question?" The unfinished noodles in the bowl had gradually become cold, but Li Yiqing had long since stopped paying attention to these things. Food was not a basic need for her to maintain life as a god.
She just liked eating with Qi Qiuxue, and also liked being with Qi Qiuxue and doing many things with her.
"What?" Qi Qiuxue looked over again.
"Can I regard your previous act of giving me medicine as a kiss?" Li Yiqing said this, gently pulling Qi Qiuxue's hand and guiding her to place it on his chest, like a child showing off candy, letting her feel his hard-earned heartbeat.
"I've never had such close contact with anyone. Xue is the first."
"Does everyone's heartbeat speed up when they kiss?" She blinked slowly, a hint of laughter in her voice.
"Axue, you know, every time I think of that kiss, I feel extremely happy."
