Who hasn't slept at such a late hour? ”

Chu Nan was stunned and stopped his internal breathing, got out of bed and opened the door to take a look, only to find that it was Chu Xiaoxi standing outside the door.

"Brother, haven't you slept yet?"

"I'm supposed to ask you that, right?"

Chu Nan looked at her in wonder, and found that although she tried her best to pretend to be calm, there was irrepressible anxiety and a trace of panic in her expression, and there seemed to be tear stains in the corners of her eyes, as if she had just cried.

"I ...... I can't sleep. Chu Xiaoxi bit his lip lightly and lowered his head. Elder brother...... I...... Can I sleep with you tonight? ”

"Huh?"

If it weren't for the extremely quiet outside at this time, even with Chu Nan's hearing that was much stronger after his current hegemonic body was raised, he could hardly hear Chu Xiaoxi's mosquito-like buzzing sound.

But it was precisely because he heard it clearly that he could hardly believe his ears.

Once upon a time...... At least ten years ago, he and Chu Xiaoxi used to sleep in the same bed.

But when the two grew up and Chu Xiaoxi became a little more sensible, they slept separately and never slept together again.

And when Chu Xiaoxi really grows up and develops into a big girl, it will be even more impossible.

What's more, the relationship between Chu Xiaoxi and Chu Nan has never been very good, and they always quarrel together, how can they make such a request to Chu Nan.

What's wrong with this little girl today?

Chu Nan looked at Chu Xiaoxi in wonder, but saw that she lowered her head, and even her neck was red, obviously she also felt that her request made her feel very shy.

However, she still stood in place and waited for Chu Nan's answer, not moving at all.

Chu Nan thought for a moment and turned sideways to get out of the way.

"Okay, come in."

Chu Xiaoxi exhaled as if relieved, raised his head and smiled at Chu Nan, walked into the house quickly, and then jumped directly on the bed, got into the thin quilt, and wrapped himself tightly.

Chu Nan looked at Chu Xiaoxi, who only showed one head on the bed, in confusion.

Although the automatic air adjustment device is on, the indoor temperature is far less high than the outside, but it doesn't make her wrap herself so tightly, right?

When he got closer, Chu Nan was stunned again.

Chu Xiaoxi, who was wrapped in a thin quilt, was obviously trembling constantly, and the smile on his face could be seen to be very reluctant.

"Konishi, you...... Scared? ”

"Who...... Who's scared? Chu Xiaoxi replied stiffly.

Chu Nan shook his head, climbed into bed, and lay down next to her.

Feeling the temperature coming from Chu Nan's side, Chu Xiaoxi's body gradually stopped trembling.

After a while, Chu Nan heard her breathing finally stabilize.

"Brother, I'...... I just had a nightmare. ”

Chu Nan turned his head and looked at Chu Xiaoxi, who was also turning his head, and saw a trace of fear in her eyes.

"What did you dream about?"

"I just dreamed ...... I dreamed that the guy who could get fat all at once came back to life. He had a big hole in his body, and his intestines were leaking out, and he chased after me, saying that he would catch me, and then ...... Then ......"

Chu Xiaoxi's body trembled again, and he couldn't say the rest of his words.

Chu Nan sighed lightly in his heart, turned over, and patted Chu Xiaoxi with his hand.

"Don't be afraid, he's dead. Didn't you confirm it for yourself that day? ”

"I know. But...... But I ...... I'm still afraid ......"

"Sure enough, I'm still scared." Chu Nan smiled slightly and pinched Chu Xiaoxi's face. "Who said they weren't afraid?"

He regretted a little in his heart, he really shouldn't have asked Chu Xiaoxi to confirm the death of the transformed man at that time, and now it left her with a psychological shadow.

"I ......"

Chu Xiaoxi glared at Chu Nan, but suddenly lowered his head, and the whole person got into Chu Nan's arms, holding Chu Nan with both hands.

Chu Nan's body stiffened, and then he couldn't cry or laugh.

The last time Chu Xiaoxi took the initiative to hug himself like this, it was at least ten years ago, right?

"Okay, that guy is dead, there's no way he's coming to you. Don't be afraid, sleep well. Chu Nan comforted Chu Xiaoxi while gently patting her back, like coaxing a child.

Now this appearance made him go back to the era when Chu Xiaoxi was not sensible more than ten years ago.

When his parents went to work in the fields, and only he and Chu Xiaoxi were left in the house, every time Chu Xiaoxi was afraid of crying, he, who was an older brother, would do this to comfort her.

After a few strokes, Chu Xiaoxi's body finally stopped trembling again, and then suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Chu Nan with a serious expression.

"Brother, I also want to practice martial arts!"

"Huh?"

###

The morning in the southern hemisphere is exceptionally fresh and natural, and breathing in the air with the fragrance of green fields wafting in the wind will make the whole person feel refreshed.

Zheng Yuanlin let out a long breath, opened his eyes, and found that the entire world in front of him had become clearer and more colorful and layered than before he settled down, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of joy in his heart.

Years of persistent cultivation have finally brought results.

Now he is only one step away from breaking through to the Beginner Imperial Heaven Level.

After becoming a second-order Heavenly Martial Artist, he would not be able to barely break through the atmosphere like he is now, but would truly have the ability to infuse cosmic energy into his body and soar freely in the sky.

He had long hoped that one day he would be able to take a good look at the planet under his feet from space with his flesh* alone, but he had been unable to achieve this wish because of his lack of strength.

Now that it is finally possible, how he doesn't like it.

When he was savoring this hard-won joy, a communication request suddenly came from the personal terminal.

Zheng Yuanlin looked down and found that this communication request was actually from a person who he was completely unexpected.

"Senior Zheng, good morning." Zheng Yuanlin connected the communication, and Chu Nan appeared on the virtual screen. "Looks like you're living in the same place as my house, it's morning."

Zheng Yuanlin smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes." But judging by the sunlight behind you, it should be a few hours earlier than mine on your side. Looking at your appearance, it seems that the injury has completely healed? ”

"yes, it's totally fine." Chu Nan bent his arm and made a powerful gesture. "Besides, I've returned home, and I'm no longer in Xiyunxing."

"Well, I know. I heard you're planning to apply for Nebula Academy? Zheng Yuanlin asked again.

Chu Nan was stunned: "How do you know?" ”

Zheng Yuanlin smiled and did not answer.

How did he know?

Apparently he made a special inquiry.

In fact, even if he has returned to Beiwangxing, he has always paid attention to the situation in Chu Nan from time to time.

When he knew that Chu Nan had completely recovered from his injuries, he was really happy for Chu Nan.

This young man with excellent talent, but because he was a child, he could not be perfected and inherited, although it is almost impossible to break through the Heavenly Gate of Heaven in the future and become a powerful martial artist, but at least he should be allowed to live a normal life as an ordinary person.

Later, after learning from Xiyun Academy that Chu Nan chose to withdraw from Xiyun Academy in order to apply for Nebula Academy, he appreciated Chu Nan more in his heart.

Such a young man who is not willing to admit defeat easily is, of course, likable.

Although his decision to apply for Nebula Academy by himself was clearly tinged with a hint of anger, thinking of his teacher's previous actions, Zheng Yuanlin couldn't have any idea of mocking Chu Nan's decision, but his heart was full of apologies.

If it weren't for the promise made by the teacher, Chu Nan probably wouldn't have had this idea.

And if it weren't for the promise he made in front of him, Chu Nan wouldn't have worked so hard against Maluk in the semifinals of the Xiyun Star Martial Arts Tournament.

Although this is Chu Nan's own promise, Zheng Yuanlin will still feel sorry for Chu Nan in his heart.

Seeing that Zheng Yuanlin didn't speak, Chu Nan didn't continue to dwell on this issue, and said, "Senior Zheng, I found you this time to make a request to Mu Yutong, hoping that you can help me tell His Holiness." ”

"Oh? What a request, you say. Zheng Yuanlin was a little surprised.

Although he has only seen Chu Nan twice, and he has not had much contact, he can see that Chu Nan should be a young man with strong self-esteem, and he will not easily run to others to ask for anything.

"That's ......"

After Chu Nan finished speaking, Zheng Yuanlin was silent for a while.

Just when Chu Nan thought that Zheng Yuanlin was unwilling to agree to help convey and was worried, Zheng Yuanlin suddenly sighed.

"Alas, I didn't expect the reward given to you to cause you so much trouble, but this is my negligence."

Chu Nan was a little puzzled.

This wind god piercing forest leg method was given by Mu Yutong, and negligence has nothing to do with Zheng Yuanlin.

A smile reappeared on Zheng Yuanlin's face.

"Chu Nan, in fact, you don't need to ask for the teacher's consent on this matter at all. Because since the teacher rewarded it to you, it is already your thing. You can do whatever you want, and the teacher will not have any opinions. ”

Chu Nan was immediately overjoyed: "Really? ”

"Really." Zheng Yuanlin nodded with a straight face. (To be continued.) )
