Qilin: Good Night, Sweet Dreams!

Riding in the vehicle sent by Super Seminary to evacuate, Ashe quietly leaned her head on Qilin's shoulder.

Although Ashe was basically unharmed, she had to pretend to be extremely weak after the great battle at this moment.

Only by putting on a complete act could she avoid being exposed.

As for why she was putting on an act.

It certainly wasn't because she was exhausted after unleashing Thoughtless Slash.

Thoughtless Slash consumed a lot of energy, but Ashe had just drawn Dream of One.

The lightning storm generated at that moment sent all the surrounding Taotie back to where they came from, to go see that goddamn Karl.

She hadn't consumed much Dark Energy at all.

The reason for this.

It all started with the two illusory figures left behind by Morgana.

Those two life-sized replicated illusory figures were specifically created by Morgana to help Ashe explain Soton's disappearance.

According to Morgana's message, she didn't use any particularly complex principles, just simple light and shadow manipulation and projection.

Morgana, as the Demon Queen, used those two illusory figures.

With a little improvisation, Morgana directed a sci-fi blockbuster on the spot, letting Ashe personally witness what it felt like to watch her own battle from a third-person perspective.

Mm, still beautiful.

In just a few minutes, Morgana fabricated a story where Ashe was very weak after the battle, was ambushed by Soton, and then Soton fled alone into the distance.

With such realistic special effects and explosive action.

If Ashe hadn't personally witnessed Morgana's writing process.

She would have felt like it was a plot happening to her in a parallel world.

And after Morgana's fabricated and filmed plot concluded.

Lena, who had been sent by Dukao to handle the aftermath, arrived just in time.

Although she was very interested in this famous "charging baby" from the original story, for the sake of the act.

Ashe could only feign weakness, leaning into Qilin's embrace and being taken into the evacuation vehicle.

As for Ajie and Rose, they had also arrived.

However, for some reason, Ashe always felt that the way Ajie and Rose looked at her was off.

They couldn't possibly sell her out, could they?

But didn't Ge Xiaolun only have eyes for Rose?

Speculating inwardly, Ashe could only suppress her curiosity, planning to ask Rose about it when they returned to the dorm.

Leaning on Qilin's shoulder, Ashe felt a bit drowsy.

All in all, although this encounter was fraught with peril, it ended without incident.

However, Ashe clearly recognized her own shortcomings.

Indeed, upgrading to a second-generation Super Soldier should be put on the agenda.

She already had 9000 Nurturing Points.

Now, with all the mission rewards from the system this time, that's another 13,000 Nurturing Points.

Combined, it was enough for Ashe to buy the upgrade materials for a second-generation Super Soldier from the system.

Although she could also wait for Super Seminary to provide resources, which would be slightly cheaper.

However, Ashe didn't want to wait. Nurturing Points were earned, not saved.

As long as she became stronger, she would earn more and more Nurturing Points.

However, she couldn't upgrade now.

After all, Ashe was currently in a "weak" state.

She still had to undergo a physical examination after returning to Super Seminary later.

Upgrading now wouldn't be convenient. It wasn't worth rushing.

Thinking this, Ashe felt her eyelids growing heavier and heavier.

Before long, steady breathing sounds reached Qilin's ears.

Listening to the familiar breathing, Qilin turned her head slightly.

Gently supporting Ashe's head with one hand, Qilin wanted Ashe to sleep more comfortably.

With extremely gentle movements, Qilin shifted her body slightly. Once at a suitable distance.

She gently released, and Ashe, who had been resting her head on Qilin's shoulder, now rested on Qilin's soft, slender legs.

Seeing this, Qilin smiled gently, her eyes filled with indescribable tenderness.

Qilin placed one hand on Ashe's hair, stroking it twice, then softly said.

"Goodnight, Ashe!"
