Chapter 48 Remembering the Ninth Queen You
Chapter 48 Remembering the Ninth Queen You
"Remember, don't touch rich girls!!!"
Mu Qiannian's words still echoed in his ears. He was speechless. How could he have been given such a thankless task? He might be resented by Mu Qianjin, this naive young lady, for the rest of his life.
It seems like nothing goes right since I came to this ancient capital. I miss the days I spent with Jiang Shaoxu in Zhoucheng.
Su Ming returned to his room looking like a wilted eggplant. Mu Qiannian had already given him some instructions before preparing to leave.
On the way, she gave Su Ming a wink, telling him to be careful not to give himself away.
Ugh, what a miserable job this is.
Su Ming lay on the bed, thinking about how to make his move and in what manner.
Suddenly, an apple came into his view. Mu Qianjin was reading a book, lying on the bed, and stretched out half of her body, holding an apple in her hand and handing it to Su Ming.
"Here, have some." Mu Qianjin said crisply. She felt sorry for Su Ming. She had her brother to come and see him, but Su Ming was all alone. They were all students of the Ancient Capital Academy and should help each other. Besides, Su Ming had saved her.
"Thank you." Looking at Mu Qianjin's innocent appearance, Su Ming felt a pang of pain in his heart.
What a beast! I can't bring myself to do it, I can't bring myself to say it.
However, Su Ming immediately comforted himself, saying that this was also for Mu Qianjin's good. With her current mindset, she couldn't survive in a world overrun by demons. Letting her experience the dangers of society would help her survive better, so that she wouldn't be tricked by some young punk because she trusted people too much in the future.
Yes, that's it. After figuring it out, Su Ming felt much better. He picked up the apple, took a big bite, and his eyes lit up.
These apples are great, crisp and sweet.
Su Ming, who hadn't eaten anything, devoured the apple in a few bites, not even letting a single bit of flesh go to waste. He ate it like a hamster, first nibbling the flesh out of the core and storing it in his mouth, then chewing it up and swallowing it when it was almost gone. Mu Qianjin laughed at this, finding Su Ming's behavior adorable.
Su Ming was waiting until after midnight, when the arrival of the medical staff would take a little longer.
Mu Qianjin was still reading quietly. Su Ming found these two hours too tedious, so he simply closed his eyes and began to meditate.
When he opened his eyes, he took out his phone and looked at it.
Well, it's already 5 a.m.
In the next bed, Mu Qianjin was already asleep, her head tucked under the covers, curled up like a shrimp, with only a few strands of hair sticking out to breathe fresh air.
Su Ming didn't disturb her. He carefully went to the window, opened it, and looked outside.
On the old air conditioner outdoor unit, a person was lying there motionless, looking as if he were dead.
With limbs hanging down naturally and head resting on the outdoor unit, half of her body was floating in the air without falling. Her long hair covered her face, making it impossible to see her features.
Su Ming closed the window. He had been cultivating all night and his spirits had recovered well. He was fine and could be discharged from the hospital today.
Mu Qianjin's sleeping posture is a bit strange, but still normal. The Mu Qiannian outside is different; not many people can sleep like that.
I'm a little thirsty.
Su Ming picked up the water from the bedside table and drank it all in one gulp, then went to the bathroom to flush.
As Su Ming walked out comfortably, his expression suddenly changed, as if something inside him was trembling.
Like ants, they were densely packed, and I felt my body being slowly devoured.
Su Ming let out a wail, squatted down on the ground, and punched himself in the stomach. The feeling of being devoured disappeared instantly.
"Damn it, what the hell is this now?" Su Ming's face was grim. How could living so far away lead to an invasion by some unknown creature?
That glass of water?
Su Ming returned to the bedside. There should still be some water left in the quilt, but now it was completely dry. The cup was as if it had never contained water, with a dry and rough surface.
clothes.
Su Ming left the ward, preparing to see a doctor.
At five o'clock, neither too late nor too early, Su Ming quickly found the doctor on duty. After a brief conversation, the doctor told Su Ming that there was nothing wrong.
Back in his ward, Su Ming felt that the doctor's diagnosis was wrong. He felt tiny worms crawling inside his body, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. After a series of examinations, nothing was found to be wrong.
"What's wrong with you?" Mu Qianjin asked groggily, awakened by Su Ming's footsteps.
"It's nothing, just a bit of an upset stomach."
"Oh," Mu Qianjin replied, then lay down on the bed to prepare for a nap.
Feeling a little thirsty while asleep, Mu Qianjin got up, picked up a bottle of mineral water, and drank it.
咕噜 咕噜
The bottle was placed too high, and water leaked out, flowing down her neck. After finishing her drink, Mu Qianjin prepared to continue sleeping.
Mu Qianjin, who had been lying down, suddenly sat up. She was no longer sleepy. She looked at Su Ming and then looked down at her stomach.
Uh... I can't see it.
Mu Qianjin hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Su Ming, my stomach hurts a lot."
Su Ming: "Hmm?"
Su Ming noticed the water stains on Mu Qianjin's neck and saw an opened mineral water bottle by the bedside, realizing that Mu Qianjin had also drunk water.
But is there a problem with this unopened bottle of mineral water?
"How exactly are you experiencing pain? Tell me in detail," Su Ming asked.
"I don't quite know, it feels like a few ants have crawled into my stomach. Some places are itchy, and some places are painful." Mu Qianjin frowned, looked at Su Ming, her eyes filled with tears, and she looked like she was really in pain.
Su Ming suggested, "Try punching your stomach hard, remember to hit it pretty hard."
"Oh," Mu Qianjin responded, then raised her small fist and punched herself. A moment later, Mu Qianjin looked up, tears welling up in her eyes, as if they were about to fall at any moment. She said aggrievedly, "It still hurts so much, and that punch just now hurt even more."
"Sit still, I'll do it." Su Ming said seriously. After Mu Qianjin sat down, he raised his fist and punched her in the stomach with all his might.
The bed was moved a little because Su Ming used too much force.
Even the air conditioner unit outside the window, which was fast asleep, was disturbed by the noise. He had been paying attention to the sounds coming from his sister's room, but one of them had gone to sleep after finishing reading, and the other was meditating. Neither of them made a sound, and after a while, he also fell asleep.
He woke up instantly after being disturbed, then sneaked to the window to observe the situation inside, and then got so angry that he wanted to kill Su Ming.
Su Ming's strength was immense; even he would gag if he were punched like that, let alone Mu Qianjin, who was a girl. She couldn't even scream after being hit like that.
With his head resting on his knees as a support, he arched his body like a shrimp.
She couldn't make a sound, but tears kept flowing down her face, immediately soaking the sheets.
The feeling of being swallowed up was indeed gone, but it felt like several bones had been broken, and I couldn't get up for a while.
Su Ming realized he had used too much force and sat awkwardly on the edge of the bed, which happened to face the window, where he saw Mu Qiannian looking murderous.
We're doomed.
Su Ming wanted to explain and was about to stand up when a layer of silvery-white powder appeared. Mu Qiannian appeared in front of him, ignoring Su Ming and carefully squatting down next to Mu Qianjin.
Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief and tried to stand up, but he couldn't move his body. An invisible hand was holding him tightly, making it impossible for him to move, as if an entire mountain was pressing down on his shoulders.
Su Ming gave up. He knew he couldn't break free. As a spatial mage himself, he naturally recognized that it was just a spatial technique, and with his current cultivation level, he couldn't shake it at all.
After comforting her sister, Mu Qiannian turned around and looked at Su Ming, her tone unfriendly: "Tell me, what happened?"
Su Ming briefly explained the process and his own speculation.
"Brother, I also feel something in my stomach, although it doesn't hurt anymore," Mu Qianjin said. She had recovered. A mage's physique is naturally stronger than that of an ordinary person. She had just curled up like a shrimp because the pain had intensified and she couldn't bear it any longer.
Mu Qiannian remained silent, his brows furrowed in a deep frown, unable to understand what was going on.
Someone changed the water? Impossible. I've been watching this place the whole time. Even when I'm asleep, I can feel the movement here. There's no way I wouldn't have noticed someone coming in.
Don't let his deadpan appearance fool you; he'll never be ambiguous when it comes to his sister.
"Let's go back. We can't stay here. I'll have someone check this hospital in a couple of days," Mu Qiannian said. He wanted to take Qianjin away first, and then find some connections to get Han Ji to send Qianjin to see Bing.
Although it's difficult, it's not impossible. He's been in the ancient capital for so long and is still a super-level mage. If he asks a friend for a favor, Han Ji shouldn't refuse.
Mu Qiannian pulled Mu Qianjin up and was about to leave.
In his anxiety, Su Ming called out, "Big brother, can I go with you?"
Mu Qiannian glanced back, then dispelled the spatial magic on Su Ming and said indifferently, "Get lost."
"oh."
Su Ming had no choice but to go back on his own, since Mu Qiannian wouldn't follow him.
But the thought of what might be inside his body terrified him. Now he even missed Jiuyou. If she were here, he would definitely be alright. Unfortunately, she was gone, and Su Ming couldn't find her either.
