At dusk, the man who had grasped the mysteries of the runes returned to the Suspended Pot Medical Center, giggling stupidly all the way.
Smack!
The woman countless times more terrifying than the man who had grasped the mysteries of the runes slapped him awake and asked in alarm, "What are you grinning like an idiot for?! Have you gone stupid? Is something wrong with your brain?"
Chen Hong immediately wiped the smile off his face. Rubbing the bump on his head, he returned to normal, his eyes gleaming as he said, "I'm going to sleep! Tomorrow, I'm going to keep studying the mysteries of the runes."
With that, Chen Hong walked upstairs without looking back under the stunned gazes of Ning Lu and Ye Lingling, returning to his bedroom to turn out the lights and sleep.
Ning Lu and Ye Lingling looked at each other, neither knowing what to say for a while.
At last, Ye Lingling quietly asked, "Could Brother Hong be..." She pointed at her head.
Ning Lu was immediately shocked. "His brain got fried?!"
"Uh..." Ye Lingling froze, then hurriedly grabbed Ning Lu, who was about to get up and chase after her son. Helplessly, she said, "I meant that Brother Hong may have overworked his brain and wants to rest more now."
After saying that, Ye Lingling's little face suddenly reddened slightly. In a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, she whispered into Ning Lu's ear, "Brother Hong's meridians still have some minor injuries. My cultivation isn't high enough, so I didn't completely heal them last time. He... he still needs more treatment."
Actually, Ye Lingling did not need to be so embarrassed. The main issue was that whenever Chen Hong got fired up, he would get up and run off at first light, only returning late at night. Ye Lingling simply could not find him during the day to treat his injuries.
Though Ye Lingling's voice was extremely soft, Ning Lu was still a level 49 Soul Ancestor. She naturally heard Ye Lingling's gentle whisper clearly. Her eyes immediately filled with amusement as she took the cute girl's hand and said warmly and kindly, "Go on, go on! I'll leave Ah Hong to Lingling's care. If he dares bully you, just call for me. I'll help you teach him a lesson."
Uh... Ye Lingling immediately recalled the boy from last night, tied up like a rice dumpling, using his formidable willpower to write a diary praising his mother. This morning, after Ning Lu saw that diary, Ye Lingling had seen that powerful woman quietly wiping away tears. She had clearly been so touched, yet she still beat Chen Hong without mercy whenever she saw him.
Still, Ye Lingling felt that, judging from the impression Chen Hong gave her, he probably would not dare bully her.
Indeed, a girl's intuition was always so sharp. Chen Hong really did not dare provoke Ye Lingling now. Especially after discovering that his "diary offensive" had failed to achieve its intended effect, he understood that he had fallen into a certain domain.
Ning Lu's mother-in-law-looking-at-her-daughter-in-law domain: Any action that might harm the designated target, "Ye Lingling," would cause Ning Lu's anger to rise sharply. During this time, Chen Hong's familial offensive intended to awaken maternal love would be greatly weakened, while her bonus damage against Chen Hong would increase.
Terrifying! Truly terrifying! Extremely terrifying!
When Ye Lingling blushed and quietly pushed Chen Hong's bedroom door open by a crack once more, she saw that Chen Hong was not asleep. Not only was he not asleep, his eyes were wide open as he lay beneath his blanket on the floor, holding a Bright Yellow Soul Ring overhead with both hands and staring at it intensely!
"Ah... Brother Hong, what are you doing?" The little girl was slightly startled. Somewhat frightened, she hid behind the crack in the door and watched Chen Hong's strange behavior.
"Huh?" Chen Hong, whose mind had been highly focused, froze when he heard her. Turning back, he discovered that another beautiful girl had respawned outside his bedroom. Helplessly, he said, "Your Brother Hong is comprehending the mysteries of Soul Rings!"
What kind of situation was this? What should he do when cute, gentle girls kept respawning outside his bedroom at midnight? Looking for answers! Urgent!
"Ah..." Ye Lingling's little mouth parted slightly, her adorable face full of question marks. "What mysteries can there be to comprehend in a Soul Ring?"
"Ah..." Chen Hong looked at the purple-eyed girl hiding outside the door, too hesitant to enter or leave, and sighed inwardly. Even without thinking, he knew this had to be another mission from his mother. So he said to the girl peeking in with only half her cute little head visible, "Come in. Let's comprehend the mysteries of Soul Rings together!"
For some reason, Chen Hong felt incredibly evil when he said that.
And so, the silly girl was tricked into the room, then foolishly lay down beside Chen Hong with a red face.
Although he felt vaguely like he was luring an innocent girl into a trap, Chen Hong considered himself an exceptionally upright person with exceptionally proper Three Views. Of course, compared to his lofty character suddenly collapsing, he was even more afraid that a female tyrannosaur might burst through the wall.
Chen Hong's Bottom Line had always been very high, because Ning Lu, with her Benevolent Heart of a Healer toward outsiders, was his Bottom Line.
"Soul Rings contain our Spirit Master soul skills. When we Spirit Masters inject Soul Power into a Soul Ring, the ring can activate the corresponding soul skill."
Chen Hong explained very seriously to Ye Lingling how he comprehended the mysteries of Soul Rings. He even had Ye Lingling raise her hands like he did and hold up her own Soul Ring, patiently sensing the flow of Soul Power within it.
"When we slowly use a soul skill... can you feel the flow of Soul Power?"
"Shh, don't talk. Listen... the sound of Soul Power flowing... As Soul Power flows through the Soul Ring, it's like wind rustling leaves... like fish splashing in a stream... Mm... it seems like there's a—no, three people. They seem to be a family..."
"There seems to be a female tyrannosaur inside... Huh? Why does that person look more and more like my mom? Isn't this the scene where I obtained my Soul Ring?"
Chen Hong abruptly woke from his state of comprehension, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. He quickly whispered to Ye Lingling beside him, "You absolutely must not tattle on me. She's immune to my familial offensive lately... If she finds out, I'm done for!"
Hmm? Chen Hong turned his head slightly and saw the girl's bright face beneath the moonlight outside the window. Above her long eyelashes sat delicate, adorable willow-leaf brows. Her small, pert nose cast a shadow in the moonlight, concealing half her face and giving her an unreal, ethereal, sacred air. Yet her slightly parted lips as she slept added a trace of innocent silliness to her appearance.
Chen Hong's gaze became slightly dazed, and at last, a clean smile slowly appeared in his deep black eyes.
Chen Hong had once believed that his mother was the only most important person in this world. But now, he realized that, without him noticing, the people who had entered his life were no longer limited to just his mother.
"But, foolish little girl... the final treatment means another girl will have to respawn outside the room tomorrow night..."
Chen Hong lay on his side, looking at Ye Lingling's adorable little face. A faint smile could not help appearing at the corner of his lips before he sank into a deep sleep.
The next morning, when the spring sunlight of dawn climbed over the girl's eyelashes, her hazy pale-purple eyes looked around the empty room. Covering her face, she cried out in embarrassment and annoyance:
"I... I... how did I fall asleep?!"
