Chapter 91: Sui Li’er, Status: Unconscious
“Sure, if I’m hungry, I’ll eat. If I’m thirsty, I’ll drink. If I’m not hungry, I won’t eat. Right now, I really am not hungry.”
“Oh.” Sui Li’er nodded and said, “So that’s how it is! Impressive!”
Chen Ling smiled, “Then quickly eat those two buns.”
“Mm-hmm.”
Chen Ling chuckled to himself when he saw her response, thinking, This girl really isn’t full yet.
Because Sui Li’er always said he was wasting food, Chen Ling now orders much less than before. Now, when she says she can’t eat anymore, he naturally doesn’t believe her. That amount of food isn’t even enough to fill his teeth.
“Um…” While eating, Sui Li’er suddenly looked at Chen Ling with a strange expression.
“What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me?”
“Um… It’s nothing!” Sui Li’er blushed and quickly turned her head away, avoiding eye contact with Chen Ling.
〚 Ding~ Target Sui Li’er: Shy, +100,000 points 〛
Chen Ling: ??? Why are you blushing and being shy?
“Mind-reading! Activate!”
Soon, bullet comments appeared above Sui Li’er’s head:
( Does the deity need to use the restroom? )
Chen Ling: ???
( So curious! Probably not, since he doesn’t eat and doesn’t need to go~ )
( Oh, I get it now. Maybe he doesn’t eat to avoid using the restroom! )
( I’m so smart! I figured it out~ )
Chen Ling was speechless: When you’re eating, can you think of something clean?
And I just said that if I’m hungry, I’ll eat. Did you hear anything at all?
( I’m so envious! Being a deity is great, not getting hungry for a long time. )
( If I were a deity, I wouldn’t have stolen so much food before… )
Thinking in her mind, Sui Li’er glanced at the bun in her hand.
( No, I’d rather not be. Having Chen Ling by my side is enough! Hehe~ )
〚 Ding~ Target feels happy, +1 million points!〛
Chen Ling chuckled softly when he saw this and whispered: “Don’t worry, silly.”
“Huh? Did you call me?” Sui Li’er turned her head to look at him.
Chen Ling grinned: “I called you silly.”
“Um~” Sui Li’er furrowed her brows, her eyes flickering. “You’re the silly one~ hmph~”
Chen Ling’s eyebrows twitched, and he sat up from the couch, leaning closer to her: “Who did you call silly?”
Sui Li’er panicked immediately: “I-I-I’m sorry, I was wrong~”
Seeing her pitiful look, Chen Ling couldn’t help but laugh and reached out to pinch her cheek. With a tug at the corner of her mouth, a piece of food fell from her mouth.
“Oops!” Sui Li’er instinctively reached out to catch it, but she missed.
The dough of the bun fell on the couch and bounced a bit, ending up on Chen Ling’s pants, near little Chen Ling.
Sui Li’er suddenly shouted: “Oh! 3, 2, 1!”
Her little hand reached for the dough on his pants. As long as she grabbed it within three seconds, the bacteria wouldn’t have time to react! (Just kidding)
Chen Ling: ??? “What are you doing?”
He instinctively moved his body, but the next moment, he felt little Chen Ling being pinched by two fingers!
!!!
He looked down and saw Sui Li’er’s thumb and index finger pinching little Chen Ling’s head through the fabric. Damn, how accurate is her aim?
She originally wanted to grab the dough, but when he moved, little Chen Ling innocently ended up being grabbed by the head.
“What’s this?” She even gave it a little squeeze.
Ouch!
“Still M-m…”
“Oh, this is…” Sui Li’er suddenly understood something, and her eyes widened!
“Squeak, squeak~” She gave it two more pinches. Inner thoughts: Just as I thought!
“Ah!” Sui Li’er fearfully withdrew her hand.
Chen Ling was dumbfounded, forgetting to chant the calming spell! Little Chen Ling’s head was still facing her directly.
Sui Li’er’s mouth was slightly open, her gaze dull as she stared at it. She once again felt that intense sense of oppression. Moreover, that long spear pointed straight at her, as if it were a ferocious beast, about to leap out of the air and bite her! It’s… too terrifying!
After two seconds, Chen Ling finally reacted.
〚 Still Mind!〛
Several golden runes flashed and disappeared into his forehead. Within a few seconds, little Chen Ling lowered its head.
Chen Ling bit his lip lightly, his mind racing, trying to figure out how to explain this situation. Suddenly realizing something, he panicked in his heart: Oh no! She saw the effect of my “Still Mind spell” just now. Now she knows what the Still mind spell is for! It’ll be even harder to explain now!
He quickly glanced at Sui Li’er and found her still in a daze with a flushed face. He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seems like she didn’t notice.
But she kept staring at little Chen Ling, which made him very uncomfortable. He felt that little Chen Ling was going to rise again.
He quickly pulled the nearby blanket and covered himself, not giving her a chance to see. However, Sui Li’er still stood there like a puppet, motionless, staring at that spot.
Chen Ling: ???
“Sui Li’er?”
No response.
“Sui Sui?”
No response.
“Li’er?”
No response.
“Silly?”
…
Frowning, Chen Ling glanced at the top of her head, but there were no bullet comments either. This is strange.
The next moment, Sui Li’er suddenly opened her eyes and fell towards the dining table. He quickly grabbed her arm, and she went limp and fell into Chen Ling’s arms.
Chen Ling realized what had happened and immediately checked the target status in the system.
〚 Target: Sui Li’er, Status: Unconscious!〛
Oops… She was scared unconscious by little Chen Ling.
Chen Ling in his mind: Was that really necessary?
With a sigh of helplessness, he closed her eyes for her. Whenever this girl faints, she always keeps her eyes wide open. It shows just how much she’s afraid of little Chen Ling.
Glancing at the time, it was almost time to go to the assessment venue. He placed Sui Li’er on the couch and changed her small slippers to proper shoes with a thought. But he hesitated for a moment and couldn’t help but glance at her fair, slightly reddish small feet.
His face immediately turned red: “I still need to draw at night. Is it too much to take some reference?” He looked at the unconscious Sui Li’er and asked, “Is it too much?”
“No, it’s not.” Then he squatted down gently beside her, holding her ankle and lifting up her palm-sized little foot. The toes were pink and plump, no longer the purplish color from being cold, and they looked much healthier.
Chen Ling couldn’t help but pinch it. Mmm, it was soft, and his finger didn’t leave a mark! The soft sensation at his fingertips caused two streams of nosebleed to flow down directly.
“Still Mind!” Several golden lights flashed, and Chen Ling coughed softly twice, wiping away the nosebleed from his face. He gently set down her small foot.
He went to her room to get socks and shoes, slowly putting them on for her. If Sui Li’er were awake, who knows how many billions she would add to Chen Ling. Unfortunately, she was still unconscious.
Afterward, he carried her, concealing the small stone house and Min Jiangyun. In a flash, he arrived at the entrance of the Qianling Volcanic Gorge.
At this moment, the entrance of the Qianling Volcanic Gorge was already filled with people from the Four elemental countries. Among them were many people from the secluded areas within the secret realms.
Due to the influence of spells in this world, transportation was highly developed. There were flying, running, swimming, and burrowing vehicles of all kinds, all with extremely fast speeds. That’s why the more than 10,000 examinees from all over had managed to rush here in time for the assessment.
“Wow, damn it, why is the assessment taking place in such a hot place?”
People from different regions of the Four elemental countries, even the locals of the Fire Country, were finding it hard to bear the temperature here. The hot air rose, distorting the world in front of their eyes.
