Chapter 30: Awakening
At the beginning of the lanterns, the moon, which is as clear as snow, rises, and the silver moonlight sprinkles every corner of the world, as if sprinkled with a thin layer of frost. The Xiao family in the night is a little cold, although it is still not a human voice, but it is obviously not as lively and noisy as during the day.
The cold moonlight is projected through the patterned windows, and the specks of light shine on the floor, like a blooming flower, gentle and elegant.
In the room, Xiao Yue, who was lying flat on the pear wood bed, slowly opened her eyes and blinked gently, with an obvious blankness in her eyes like night. Just about to twist his body, he suddenly stiffened, feeling the pain from the hundreds of bones in his limbs, and couldn't help but gasp.
"Don't move, or your injuries will go wrong again!" said Qingli in a voice of surprise and concern.
Feeling the soft jade hand caressing on her forehead, as well as the familiar and warm voice in her ears, Xiao Yue was stunned, then came back to her senses, turned her head to look at the beautiful young woman beside the bed, and shouted softly: "Mother!"
"Well, you can still recognize me as your mother, and you don't look stupid yet!" Seeing that her baby son came to her senses, the gentleness on Zhao Yiqiao's face immediately receded, and her voice turned cold.
Zhao Yi's attitude made Xiao Yue's face stiffen, and he also understood that the other party must have blamed him for making his body look like this, so he couldn't help but let out a wry smile in his heart, and said, "Cough... How long have I been in a coma?"
"Why do you care about this? Don't you like to do it? Then just go to sleep like this, and save yourself from fainting again!" Zhao Yi sneered.
"I was wrong..."Xiao Yue knew that no matter what woman she was dealing with, as long as the other party was angry, as a man, she must take the initiative to admit her mistake, otherwise the consequences would be very troublesome.
"Hmph!" Sure enough, seeing Xiao Yue's weak face, Zhao Yi's heart softened, and the tirade that he had prepared suddenly couldn't continue.
sighed in his heart, caressed Xiao Yue's cute little face, and said gently: "It's not short, it's been more than ten days, in the words of Master Telin, you have been so seriously injured, ordinary people don't know if you can live, I really don't know how you got like this." ”
"Hehe!" Xiao Yue smiled helplessly, just now he tried to mobilize the Dou Qi Qi, but found that most of his meridians were damaged, and the Dou Qi was actually in severe pain, as for the injuries on the body, he also knew that this was very strict without trying.
Although he lost his mind in action that day, his consciousness was always retained, like a bystander, watching his body lose control, but helpless, so he can clearly recall the whole process from beginning to end.
To be honest, he didn't expect that "Absolute Life Recipe" would have this kind of effect, and it would temporarily improve his own strength by a large margin, even if this effect is not much worse than Xiao Yan's "Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire"!
It's just that the side effects are also not small, the body self-destruction is one thing, at least the damage to the meridians will take him a long time to heal, and I don't know if there will be hidden dangers in the future. In addition, after reversing the secret method, the body will lose control, which is completely unacceptable to him, an uncontrollable thing, even if its effect is perfect, Xiao Yue will not dare to use it.
However, this time, he also secretly swore that he would never be careless in the future. In any case, you must go all out to deal with any enemy, be cautious, and never give anyone a chance to endanger yourself again, you can escape this time, but who knows if you can save your life next time!
"By the way, after that day, what happened!" Xiao Yue was still very concerned about this result, and asked Zhao Yi.
"You......"
"Click!"
Zhao Yi glanced at Xiao Yue, and was about to answer, when two knocks suddenly came from outside the door.
Xiao Yue was stunned, not understanding who would come to the door at such a late hour.
Facing Xiao Yue's puzzled gaze, Zhao Yi pouted and said, "It should be the old patriarch, you have been in a coma for these days, and he comes every day!"
"Teacher?" Hearing this, Xiao Yue's heart felt a little warm, although the purpose of the apprentice was indeed impure, but this teacher was really good to him.
After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he got up and went to open the door, and when he saw Xiao Lin, he snorted coldly, without reassuring the identity of the other party, and said in a stiff tone: "Xiaoyue is awake, you talk, I'll go and boil the soup first!"
She was also a little annoyed in her heart, the other party, who was obviously present at the time, but let Xiao Yue suffer such a serious injury, it was clear that he was indeed unqualified as a teacher.
Xiao Lin outside the door shook his head with a wry smile, but he didn't blame the other party for being rude, and it was not strange to think about it, after all, Xiao Yue's family did bear a lot of responsibility for this matter, and the other party was Xiao Yue's biological mother, so it was not easy for him to be dissatisfied.
However, when he heard that Xiao Yue had woken up, he was relieved, nodded lightly, let Zhao Yi go sideways, and then walked out of the room.
"Teacher!" Xiao Yue lay on the bed, didn't bother to move, and turned her head directly to say hello.
"It's good to wake up, this time it was really my carelessness, I didn't expect an accident, fortunately you're fine!But it also reminded me that after you recover this time, I will teach you the appropriate Xuan-level fighting skills!" Xiao Lin sat on the edge of the bed, patted Xiao Yue's little head, and said with a smile.
"I understand, thank you, teacher!" Hearing this, Xiao Yue was also a little overjoyed, he had also coveted these Xuan-level fighting skills for a long time, but this kind of precious thing had no chance at all for them who were weak children, and they were not qualified to come into contact with it, even if Xiao Yue was Xiao Lin's disciple.
"By the way, what happened to them, it shouldn't be so easy to forget it!" Xiao Yue's heart suddenly moved, and she looked at Xiao Lin and asked.
"It seems that you still remember the situation at that time, I thought you had completely lost your mind at that time, what was the matter with your violent state?" Xiao Lin frowned, and did not answer immediately, but asked another question.
"I'm sorry, teacher, I can't explain to you now, I did lose control of my body at that time, but my mind was clear at that time, as if I was watching another person completely control my body!" Xiao Yue shook his head and said apologetically, he didn't want to talk to anyone about the secret of "Absolute Life Formula" at the moment, even if it was his closest relatives.
"Okay, if you don't want to say it, forget it, but I know that you are very mature, there are some things that you have to measure clearly, you must know it before you do it, and don't let yourself regret it afterwards!" Glancing at a few strands of white hair in front of Xiao Yue's forehead, Xiao Lin sighed, and didn't ask anything anymore, he knew that everyone had their own secrets, even if the other party was his apprentice, he didn't want to be reluctant.
After a pause, he continued: "As for Sikong Jue's side, you don't have to worry, I have already received news from my friends in the imperial capital, and the imperial side has planned to transfer Sikong Jue away and appoint another city lord to come over. Speaking of which, this is because your outstanding talent has been passed on to the royal family, and they also want to have a good relationship with you, the top powerhouse in the future. In the end, Sikong Jue is just a dog of the royal family, and it can't represent those behind him at all, and it can even be sacrificed if necessary, provided that your value is fully displayed!"
"That means the manufacturing method of the Heaven-Shaking Thunder, we don't have to hand it over?" Xiao Yue asked, after all, isn't it partly because of the reason why he made it like this.
Xiao Lin shook his head and smiled, and said, "It's impossible to keep it forever, but this time I heard some rumors over there, which can allow us to keep the right to use it for a year, and then we will dedicate the manufacturing method to the royal family, which is their bottom line." ”
Xiao Yue pondered for a moment, and said with a little regret: "Well, that's okay, anyway, after a year, this thing has almost been touched by others, and it doesn't matter when the time comes,... Ahem, that... Teacher, you see that I have made such a great contribution to the family, are you giving me a few percent more?"
"Stinky boy, you're just patronizing money, this thing is so important in your eyes! What you said is also right, meritorious service will be rewarded, then give you one more ingredient, don't be dissatisfied, after all, the family is so big, you must always take into account the interests of other clansmen. Xiao Lin first laughed helplessly, and then said in a condensed voice.
"Uh... Okay, thank you, teacher!" Xiao Yue was also a little surprised that the other party agreed so readily, originally he was just joking, but if he has a advantage, he is a bastard, so he just admit it.
"By the way, about your mother, I don't think I should find a man for her, your mother is also strange and pitiful, your father couldn't even find the body when he died, and now he is raising you so much with a woman, it's not easy! There are many excellent descendants in the family, and your mother is also young and beautiful, if you want to find a good man to live the rest of your life and no longer be lonely, what do you think?" Xiao Lin suddenly chuckled, with a teasing look in his eyes.
"What?" Hearing this, Xiao Yue almost exclaimed, her heart jumped, she turned her head slightly, not letting Xiao Lin notice her expression, and said in an unnatural tone: "This is not good, if I am looking for a stepfather, I am not used to it, and what if he bullies me! Anyway, I will not let my mother remarry now." ”
"You're a little unwarranted... Forget it, whatever you want, I'm just casually mentioning it, but I think if your mother really meets someone you like, you'd better not stop it, don't be too selfish, after all, it's not easy for her!" Xiao Lin didn't notice Xiao Yue's different color, and just sighed lightly.
"Teacher, don't worry, of course I understand this, I'm not the kind of person who has no sense of proportion!" Xiao Yue forcibly calmed her tone and said with a straight face.
"Hmm... That's it, you recuperate first, I'll go, and I'll come to see you tomorrow!" Seeing that it was already dark, Xiao Lin didn't plan to stay any longer, so he slowly stood up and said goodbye.
Suddenly, he paused again and said, "Hmm... That's right, because you have already reached the seventh stage of Dou Qi before the age of fifteen, it stands to reason that you can go to the Dou Qi Pavilion to select exercises, but after all, you have been in a coma for more than ten days, and others can't wait for you, so you have already finished choosing. So when you're healed, I'll test your Douqi attribute again, and let someone open another Douqi Pavilion for you!"
"Oh, I see, then teacher, you're walking slowly!"
After Xiao Lin left, Xiao Yue's face suddenly became a little gloomy, and he was still a little worried about what Xiao Lin said to him about Zhao Yi just now, and when he thought that Zhao Yi would lie in the arms of other men in the future, he felt uncomfortable for a while, and there was a sense of irritability that he would kill all the men.
"The old patriarch is gone?" At this time, Zhao Yi's graceful figure walked in, holding the medicinal soup in her hand, and when she saw that Xiao Lin was gone, she asked.
"Well, yes!" Xiao Yue looked at Zhao Yi and was suddenly a little stunned, and replied casually.
"That's okay, take the medicine first, then go to bed and heal your injuries!" Zhao Yi handed the medicinal soup to Xiao Yue.
Drinking the bitter liquid with her eyes closed, Xiao Yue opened her eyes, looked at Zhao Yi, and said, "Can we sleep together tonight?"
“… Well, why did Xiao Yueyue suddenly think like this, then don't you want to sleep with your mother?" Zhao Yi was obviously happy at first, and then tilted his head and wondered.
"If you don't want to, forget it!" Xiao Yue's little face was unnatural, and it was rare to say arrogantly.
"Why don't you want to, you can let your mother stay alone in the empty room for a long time, it's rare that you have opened your mind today, my mother finally didn't hurt you in vain, hehe!"
As he spoke, he began to undress, and as the lights in the room went out, Xiao Yue felt that he was carefully hugged into a warm embrace, he knew that the other party was afraid of touching his injuries, and his heart suddenly felt extremely warm and peaceful.
However, he inadvertently remembered what Xiao Lin had just said to him again, and his little hand couldn't help but hug Zhao Yi tightly, burying his head in a pair of soft eyes, and a crimson brilliance appeared strangely in his originally black and white eyes.
"You're mine...!"
