The instant Lin Xiao lost consciousness, the preprogrammed defense mechanism in his mind activated.
"Doctor unconscious detected. Deploying Xia Lan Armor. Activating Super Blue Gold's lightning protection program."
Li Xiaobing secretly felt pleased. She had discovered that the direct approach was the most effective after all. Why had she wasted so much effort otherwise?
But before she could finish celebrating, Lin Xiao's clothes began to change as the Xia Lan Armor automatically deployed.
Blue arcs of electricity flashed across the battle suit, blasting Li Xiaobing away.
"What the hell is going on?!"
Li Xiaobing's entire body went numb from the shock. Realizing something, she did not get up and simply lay there on the floor.
"Atai, send someone over and see if you can disable his defenses."
The blocked signal was lifted, restoring communications between Demon One and her.
"Damn, Queen, what are you trying to do? Why are you wearing so little?"
Morgana was the goddess in the hearts of countless demons. It was their first time seeing her in such a bedraggled state, and it truly opened their eyes.
"Bitch, keep your eyes under control, or I'll dig them out when I get back! Get over here and cover me with a blanket."
Morgana's words gave Atai a jolt. He hurriedly opened a wormhole, drilled through it, and appeared in the hotel room.
Atai first looked around, then found a blanket and covered Li Xiaobing up as though she were a corpse.
Then Atai tried touching Lin Xiao. As before, powerful blue arcs of electricity blasted him away.
"Queen, this thing is powerful. Even combat armor can't withstand it."
"No shit. I'm still numb myself. Don't touch it without armor unless you want to get electrocuted to death. Analyze it, now."
"Understood."
Atai got up and took out an instrument, scanning around Lin Xiao. But after several attempts, every result showed failure.
"Queen, we can't analyze this material. Demon programs can't be implanted either. A powerful electric field around him interferes with all incoming information, and we can't even calculate micro-wormholes."
"Damn it, where did this bastard get such advanced black technology? Last time, he even bounced me out of space."
Li Xiaobing was furious. She had been so close to succeeding, only for this to happen. His defense mechanism was far too thorough.
Did she really have to throw herself at him before she had a chance to implant it?
Lin Xiao was indeed a genius, but this did not seem worth the cost.
Li Xiaobing felt that she needed to think it over and sort out her feelings toward Lin Xiao.
If she had feelings for him, she could do it. But if she did not, then it was impossible. She would not do something so shameless.
Only by giving up all her ulterior motives and genuinely getting close to Lin Xiao could she uncover what was truly in her heart. Li Xiaobing had made her decision.
"Atai, shoot him a few times. Don't let me waste half the day for nothing."
"Understood."
Atai took out a sniper rifle, aimed it at Lin Xiao's head, and fired several shots.
As expected, the God-Slaying No. 1 Bullets did not do a damn thing. The helmet deflected them somewhere unknown.
"Obvious attack detected. Initiating counterattack mode! Doctor detected in a dangerous environment. Injecting S-Rank Awakening Potion. Removing abnormal interference from the body."
As Little Light's prompt sounded in his mind, powerful blue arcs of electricity appeared around Lin Xiao.
To Atai's shock, the arcs gathered into a thick bolt of blue lightning.
Crack!
The lightning shot forth. Atai had no chance to dodge and was blasted straight back into the spatial wormhole by the Blue Light Lightning.
"What the hell? This guy's defense mechanism is way too complete! Atai! Atai! Demon One, report the situation."
"Reporting to the Queen: blue arcs of electricity are covering Atai's entire body. It looks like he won't make it. We can't remove this energy."
"Damn it, this is a total loss. Authorize the Void Engine. Save him for me."
Li Xiaobing felt like crying. Her plan had failed completely. Not only had she been shocked, but she also had to activate the Void Engine to save someone. It was utterly screwed up.
And right then, Lin Xiao shakily stood up. Little Light had awakened him.
"Ugh, my head hurts. Who ambushed me?"
Lin Xiao shook his head and checked himself all over. Only after finding that he was unharmed did he breathe a sigh of relief.
The second thing he did was open Little Light's logs. After looking through them, he roughly understood that he had been attacked.
"Little Light, show me the footage."
A screen appeared before Lin Xiao, displaying everything that had happened after he lost consciousness.
He had many tiny camera bugs on him, and he only turned them off when he went out with Qi Lin.
He had not intended to do anything with Li Xiaobing just now, so the camera bugs had naturally remained active.
In the footage, he suddenly collapsed, then deployed his armor and shocked Li Xiaobing away. After that, demons appeared and fiddled with him for a while. Finally, perhaps out of humiliation and rage, they shot at him.
That triggered his counterattack program, and the demon was blasted back into the wormhole by the Blue Light Lightning. That demon was probably more dead than alive.
"Morgana, did I dig up your ancestors' graves or something? You actually dared to ambush me. I'll remember this."
Lin Xiao was furious. Morgana had actually resorted to underhanded tactics. Good thing he had prepared precautions long ago, or he would definitely have been in trouble.
"Oh no, I almost forgot about Li Xiaobing!"
Lin Xiao hurriedly got up, ran over to Li Xiaobing beneath the blanket, and lifted it.
He quickly turned Li Xiaobing over and checked her over. Only after discovering that she was still breathing did he finally relax.
To prevent accidental injury, Lin Xiao had originally set it so that touching his body would release a nonlethal current, only enough to knock people away and paralyze them. But if it was judged as an attack, the power would be entirely different.
"Little Ice, wake up!"
Lin Xiao shook her for a long time but could not wake her. His head immediately began to ache. He still needed to return to Giant Xia to see how Ge Xiaolun and Qiang Wei's relationship was progressing.
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth, ran to the bedside, dug out Li Xiaobing's clothes, and decided to dress her before taking her back to Giant Xia.
"Ah!!!"
Slap!!!
The moment Lin Xiao came over, Li Xiaobing pretended to wake up. She reacted as a woman should: first opening her eyes, then screaming, then slapping him across the face.
Li Xiaobing's performance was completely genuine, without the slightest pretense. She put real force into that slap. Lin Xiao's armor had already disengaged, and the strike knocked him to the floor.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Xiao covered his face and glared indignantly at the furious Li Xiaobing.
"Go away! I can dress myself!"
"Hmph, suit yourself."
Lin Xiao covered his face, turned around, and walked away with a displeased expression.
"Damn it, bitch, bastard, pervert, scumbag! You took advantage of me, yet you're acting like you're the one who suffered! Just wait and see how I deal with you later."
Li Xiaobing unhappily threw on her coat and called out to Lin Xiao.
"I'm going back first!"
"Fine, go back then!"
After being slapped, Lin Xiao was in a bad mood. He did not try to stop her and simply let Li Xiaobing open the door and leave.
"That little bastard, just wait until I deal with him. No, wait, I remember now. Isn't he He Xi's Sleeping Beauty? Hahaha, interesting. Very interesting!"
Li Xiaobing suddenly remembered. No wonder Lin Xiao had always seemed familiar to her. She had seen him back when she was still in the Angel Civilization. Things were getting stranger and stranger, but also far more interesting.
My condition has improved! I've been discharged!
