Chapter 37: The Tempering of Feelings
"Hello host, because of the small sweep absorbing energy overload, it is now asleep, and in the next period of time, only side quests can be released, please complete the favorability task as soon as possible, otherwise the system will start the time program. ”
"I believe that the host does not want to be forced to do the task, in this case, please don't lie in bed and waste time, and hurry up to perform the task. ”
"Host, wake up. ”
“......”
"Activate the shock to wake up, enforce. ”
Outside the house, Xiang Cuixin held a bowl of medicine, pushed open the door and said to Sikong Chen:
"Senior brother, it's time to get up and drink......"
Before he finished speaking, a blue arc suddenly flashed on Sikong Chen's body, and after two or three seconds, the electric current on Sikong Chen's body exploded, illuminating the room in blue and white.
Sikong Chen, who was asleep, didn't expect the system to suddenly do this, and after being woken up, he only felt numb all over his body in a delirium, as if he had been fried.
"Great, big brother. Are you okay. ”
Xiang Cuixin didn't care about the situation now, put the medicine on the table, and hurriedly rushed to Sikong Chen's side to grab his hand and take his pulse.
"There's nothing wrong with the pulse, could it be that Senior Brother has awakened a new spiritual root after going through these trials?"
Feeling that Sikong Chen's body had not recovered from some internal injuries, thinking that there was no other condition, Xiang Cuixin blamed Sikong Chen's reaction just now on the awakening of the spiritual root.
"Don't be stupid, Senior Sister Xiang, the spiritual root will be qualitative after the age of five, unless you replace your own spiritual root with someone else's spiritual root, it is impossible to grow a new spiritual root. ”
Sikong Chen shook his somewhat swelling and aching head, and said to Xiang Cuixin:
"Senior Sister Xiang, I feel that there should be no major problem with me, so let me get out of bed and take a walk. ”
"Okay, no problem, but you drink the medicine first. ”
Seeing that Sikong Chen was fine, Xiang Cuixin turned around and brought the medicine on the table to Sikong Chen, handed it to him and said:
"Your current injury has not healed, and there will be less strenuous exercise during this time, anyway, there is nothing major in Xiaoyaomen recently, so let's recuperate." ”
Sikong Chen took the bowl and drank it directly, and after listening to Xiang Cuixin's words, Sikong Chen smiled bitterly:
"I want to too, but if I can't keep it, something will happen, like this ......"
"If you don't go to other people's territory to rob people, can people come to the door?"
Xiang Cuixin saw Sikong Chen's quibbling and retorted unceremoniously.
"I don't want to do this when I say this, do you believe it?"
Now it's Sikong Chen's turn to be unhappy, if it weren't for the system task, would he have run so far to collect disciples?
"Okay, it's all over, and no matter how much you argue, you can't get out of any good results, didn't you say you want to get out of bed and walk around? ”
Sikong Chen, who had been lying down for two or three days, was stiff, if it weren't for Xiang Cuixin's help, he might not be able to get up by himself, so he might as well get up, just wanted to take the first step, but almost fell to the ground with Xiang Cuixin.
"Senior brother, your body is still too weak, plus you haven't exercised these days, your body bones are already stiff, otherwise you will lie on the bed first, and I will loosen your bones first." ”
Although Xiang Cuixin made timely efforts to support Sikong Chen and did not fall, he was still taken aback by Sikong Chen, and after roughly understanding what the reason was, Xiang Cuixin immediately persuaded.
"No need, I can do it, please hold on, I'm trying. ”
Sikong Chen rejected her kind advice without thinking about it, joking that he was a senior brother, and if he couldn't even walk, how could he gain a foothold in front of his senior brother.
Xiang Cuixin understood the temper of his senior brother, and seeing that he insisted on persevering, he didn't continue to advise, sighed and continued to help him walk towards the courtyard.
But as soon as I arrived at the yard, a person rushed over to me.
Liu Ruoshui, who returned to Xiaoyaomen, heard that Sikong Chen rushed to Sikong Chen's courtyard non-stop after being injured in order to let the Blood Brake Sect let Xiaoyaomen go, who knew that she saw this scene in front of her as soon as she entered the door, and just wanted to ask what the relationship between the two was, Sikong Chen smiled and said to himself:
"Fifth Senior Sister, you're back, I'm sorry Senior Brother didn't think it through, and let Senior Sister make you suffer. ”
"No, no, no, what happened in Xiaoyaomen, Senior Brother Shen has already told me, I know that Senior Brother you let us go out to practice for our good, and it should be me who should apologize, I shouldn't ...... That senior brother. ”
Hearing the weakness in Sikong Chen's tone, the words turned into justification, Liu Ruoshui was about to say that he should not blame his senior brother, but as soon as he saw Xiang Cuixin holding Sikong Chen's hand, the words instantly changed their taste.
Xiang Cuixin's eyes widened as she watched Senior Sister Liu's squirming appearance, and her tone of voice became so strange, looking at Sikong Chen suspiciously, who knew that Si Kong Chen was even more surprised than her.
A junior sister who avoids herself every day and can't wait to see her will talk to herself in such a tone, which makes Sikong Chen feel like a dream.
"No, it's not a feeling, it must be me dreaming, Senior Sister Xiang, pinch me, this is definitely not true. ”
Sikong Chen said to Xiang Cuixin beside him, Xiang Cuixin paused for a moment, and just as he was about to make a move, Liu Ruoshui walked to the other side of Sikong Chen, took his hand and said:
"I hate it, do you mean that Senior Brother forgot that you did it. ”
After Liu Ruoshui finished speaking, she looked at Xiang Cuixin with hostility, at this time Xiang Cuixin didn't understand what the situation was, so she didn't have to stay in Xiaoyaomen, and hurriedly let go of Sikong Chen and said to Liu Ruoshui:
"Fifth Senior Sister, when are you ......?"
Xiang Cuixin thought that Liu Ruoshui would hold Sikong Chen, but Liu Ruoshui didn't know that Si Kong Chen couldn't even stand on his feet now, and as soon as she let go, Sikong Chen fell down, and even took Liu Ruoshui, who didn't react.
And when the two fell to the ground, face to face impartially, Xiang Cuixin, who saw this scene, hurriedly held his eyes, revealing a gap and said to Sikong Chen:
"That senior brother, I just remembered that I still have to stock up on the pill, so let the fifth senior sister take good care of you here, and I'll withdraw first. ”
After saying that, he turned around and left mercilessly, leaving the two people on the ground looking at each other.
"That, Fifth Senior Sister, can you get up first? I can't move my body first. ”
Sikong Chen looked at Liu Ruoshui's red goose egg face, and for some reason his face was also hot. hurriedly said to Liu Ruoshui, who was pressing on him.
"Ahh I'm sorry, big brother, I didn't mean to. ”
Liu Ruoshui also reacted, looking at the almost ambiguous posture of the two, and said to Sikong Chen while getting up in a panic, but as soon as he stood up, he stepped on one of Sikong Chen's feet, which made Si Kong Chen feel pain.
Sikong Chen's voice startled her, and she felt the strangeness under her feet make her look down, and then stepped on Sikong Chen's other foot in a panic.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, big brother, I really didn't mean to. ”
"Don't say it, I know, I understand, can you please give me a moment?"
Sikong Chen said to Liu Ruoshui with a wry smile on his face.
"Okay. Big brother, I really didn't mean to. ”
She was taking revenge on herself, holding back, not being angry, I was sorry for her first. ’
Sikong Chen took a deep breath to calm down his mood, and kept hinting that he had brought all this on himself, and then smiled at Liu Ruoshui:
"Fifth Senior Sister, if it's okay, please leave for a while, I'm going to rest now. ”
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and crawled into the house with difficulty, Liu Ruoshui saw that Sikong Chen had given an order to drive away guests, and was about to leave, but saw Sikong Chen climbing on the ground, and immediately turned around and helped Sikong Chen up and said to him:
"Senior brother, I'd better send you back, how long will it take you to climb into bed like this?" ”
"Thank you so much. ”
Sikong Chen gritted his teeth and said to Liu Ruoshui, Liu Ruoshui didn't seem to hear the anger in Sikong Chen's words, and said with a smile:
"It's okay, it's okay. I should have done it. ”
dragged Sikong Chen's heavy body into Sikong Chen's room.
Liu Ruoshui took a lot of effort to move Sikong Chen to the bed, and then said to Sikong Chen:
"Senior brother, I see that your body bones are so stiff, otherwise I will loosen your bones. ”
"No need, I'm slowly recovering by myself, thank you for your hard work. I'll do the rest myself. ”
Now Sikong Chen can be sure that this is definitely not a dream, everything that happened just now made Sikong Chen sense a hint of revenge, and made Sikong Chen sure that all this was Liu Ruoshui taking revenge, so Sikong Chen refused his request without thinking about the consequences at all.
"Oh well. ”
Liu Ruoshui originally wanted to take advantage of Sikong Chen's recuperation period to regain a good relationship with him, but who knew that he rejected himself without the slightest hesitation, which made him feel a sense of loss and a hint of remorse.
If I hadn't agreed to go out with them to practice, maybe my relationship with my senior brother would have been able to go back to that time. But it's too late to say anything first.
Seeing Liu Ruoshui's lost back, Sikong Chen suddenly felt that what he said was too heavy, but before he had time to think about it, Liu Ruoshui, who had gone and returned, returned to his side, held his hand and said:
"Senior brother, otherwise I'll take care of you these days, I'll clean the room next to you, and I'll stay tomorrow." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Sikong Chen to open his mouth to refute, Liu Ruoshui said to himself:
"That's it, I'll go pack my things. ”
After speaking, he jumped happily and left Sikong Chen's room, leaving Sikong Chen with a frightened face, and let out a cry of pain after being surprised......
In the alley of a town thousands of miles away from Xiaoyaomen, Qu Jiazhen and Xu Tiancai surrounded a woman dressed in black and wearing a black veil.
"Soul Devouring Sect Dantang Elder Shan He, I didn't expect to meet you here. ”
Qu Jiazhen chuckled as he approached Shan He:
"Who are you, why do you know who I am, what do you want, don't come here. ”
Seeing that his identity was revealed, Shan He immediately shouted, but Qu Jiazhen and Xu Tiancai didn't care how she shouted, they walked towards her step by step with a sinister smile and said:
"Don't be afraid, I just wanted to invite you to come with us. ”
