Three hours later, Xuanse lay sprawled on the incubation platform, utterly exhausted!
His eyes were lifeless, his gaze blank as he stared up at the Sunlight Worms on the ceiling. With trembling hands, he pulled out a cigarette, slowly put it between his lips, and lit it!
He took a deep breath and exhaled a curling plume of smoke. A tear slid from the corner of his eye!
(????3??)??︴Phew~
Xuanse couldn't help pressing a hand to his forehead. Goodbye, happiness!
Goodbye, my limits!
In the end, he'd crossed that line. Now he was in hell, with no light in sight!
The cup of hot water by the bed had long since gone cold!
Chong Ru Hua lay beside Xuanse like a heap of mud, holding his arm, her face full of bashful delight!
??(????????)??"My lord! You're amazing! So incredible!"
As she spoke, she traced circles on Xuanse's chest with a finger, setting off sparks!
Chong Si Yu had already gotten out of bed, a blissful, satisfied smile on her face!
She reached into her pocket and pulled out three bags of shriveled red fruit!
With a casual flick, she tossed them onto Xuanse!
??(????????????)????"Here~ Have some, to build up your strength! These are Sky Sun Goji Berries. Eat them—they're good for you!"
Xuanse clenched his teeth, struggled upright, and let out a long sigh as he held the goji berries. Then he shut his eyes, tilted back his head, and swallowed them!
"Now! You've all seen what I'm capable of, haven't you? Am I qualified to meet your Queen Mother Insect yet?"
Chong Ru Hua giggled. "You are~ Of course you are! My lord, your performance has far exceeded the standards!"
"My sister and I will take you to meet Her Majesty the Insect Emperor now!"
Xuanse's eyes lit up.
