Travel · Qiongzhou Arc (Fifteen): Xiao Ling: There's a Second Round?

Having discussed the adorable Little Cart, let's now turn our attention to the Rover.

The atmosphere at the barbecue party was cheerful. Everyone happily ate the barbecue, drank special cocktails, and chatted about everyday things, which made the Rover feel the tranquility of ordinary life.

This is what she has been searching for and pursuing; she hopes that everyone in Solaris can live such a carefree life.

The Rover watched with a gentle smile as Aemeath and her group sang and danced to the background music coming from their phones, and silently finished the last bit of his drink.

She genuinely thought that Cart's drinks were great; they were refreshing, flavorful, and had a wonderful complexion—the taste was simply superb.

At this moment, Hajipiao was completely unaware that she had already drunk the cold drink that Cartethyia had carefully prepared for Hajiling, and that she was about to pay a small price for it.

About ten minutes later, the Rover, who was in high spirits, suddenly felt a little dizzy.

"Uh..." The Rover rubbed her temples, her slightly furrowed brows indicating that she was not in good physical condition.

"What's wrong?" The Shorekeeper noticed the Rover's unusual behavior and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, I guess I just didn't get enough rest. You guys have fun, I'm going back to my bedroom."

The Rover smiled, indicating that he was alright, and then got up and left the table early without anyone noticing.

Back in his room, the first thing the Rover did was take a shower.

The effects of the medicine wore off quickly; she had only felt dizzy before, but now she felt as if her body was burning hot, like a furnace.

The Rover dared not delay and immediately rushed into the bathroom to wash her body with cold water, hoping that the cool water could take away even the slightest bit of her heat.

Meanwhile, her mind didn't stop there; it began to rapidly consider the reasons why she had ended up in this situation.

To be honest, such an unusual physical condition must be caused by external factors, since she had just felt that she was in great shape.

Then there's only one possibility: I was ambushed.

Could it be that Hajiling, who loves me but cannot have me, secretly plotted against me? No, impossible. Although he is a bit lecherous, he is not so wicked as to resort to such despicable means to force someone to submit. On the contrary, he is more likely to be the one who was plotted against.

... not redeemable!

The Rover suddenly remembered that the drink was Cart's doing, and that she had gotten into trouble after drinking that cold drink.

Holy crap, how did I end up taking a bullet for Hajiling?!

The Rover was quite depressed, but since things had come to this, he could only wait for the effects of the medicine to wear off.

But those who know the head of the Cantarella family know that the poisons she produces are generally not easily neutralized by willpower.

So when she came out of the bathroom, her cheeks were even redder than before, her legs were starting to feel weak, and an excruciating itch was constantly stimulating her nerves.

"No... this won't do..."

The Rover was racking her brains for a way out when, unfortunately Aemeath was worried about her, came knocking on the door to ask what was going on.

"A-Piao? A-Piao? Are you in there?" Aemeath's sweet voice asked with concern, "A-Yu said you weren't feeling well and went back to your room. Are you feeling better now?"

"No, I'm fine. I'm sorry to have worried you, Little Ai." The Rover could only force himself to remain calm, suppressing the tremor that was about to escape his throat, and trying his best to make his voice as steady as usual.

"Are you really alright? Why don't you let me come in and check on you?"

"No! I'm really alright!" The Rover's voice suddenly became urgent. "I've finished showering and am going to rest. Little Ai, you should go to sleep early too!"

She knew very well that if she faced Little Ai in this state, the other would definitely let out a sharp crack and call that guy over, and then... you know what I mean.

"Oh, okay, then A-Piao, you should go to sleep early!"

The Rover pressed himself against the door, only relaxing completely and sliding to the ground after hearing Aemeath's footsteps fade into the distance.

"Damn it... why am I starting to feel this way about him more and more..."

Back to the present.

After punishing Cartethyia, Xiao Ling felt he could finally get a good night's sleep.

"It's so late... Time to sleep, or I won't be able to get up tomorrow."

So, Hajiling drifted off to sleep again, completely unaware that the little Little Black had already suppressed its inner desires and tiptoed into the room.

To be honest, the Rover didn't want to come to this point; she was only here to alleviate the strangeness that had arisen within her.

She stood by the wall and observed for a while. After confirming that the other person was fast asleep, she walked to the bedside on her own and, like Cartethyia before her, crawled into the covers. Then she gave Hajiling a top-notch deep breath.

You know what, it actually worked! She definitely felt less uncomfortable than before.

After confirming that the other party still did not respond, the Rover decided to make do here for the night and ask Hajiling or Cartethyia for clarification the next day.

Then...

"I mean, with your top-notch lung capacity, do you really think I won't have any reaction at all?"

Xiao Ling really didn't expect that after leaving one Cart, another Little Black would appear, making him want to exclaim "666, there's a second level!"

"You, not asleep?!" The Rover, caught red-handed, was about to escape when Xiao Ling turned over and arrested him on the spot.

"Sister Piao, do you really think I, Xiao, am invisible, since you can just leave like that?" Xiao Ling's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.

"Let me go!" The Rover tried to struggle, but her strength was weak, Hajiling could easily control her now.

"Your reaction right now... it seems like that girl Cartethyia tricked you."

"It's all because I took a bullet for you! Hurry up and let me go back!"

"Little Cart also told me that Cantarella gave her a tranquilizer, but now it seems that might be quite different." Looking at the flushed face of the Rover, Xiao Ling already understood what big tricks Cantarella had pulled this time.

"Alright, let's get back to the point. Do you want to solve the problem?"

"Do you have a way?" the Rover asked, sweating profusely but managing to stay rational.

"There are solutions, of course; it just depends on whether you're willing to cooperate, Sister Piao."

"How am I supposed to cooperate... ugh!"

The Rover was puzzled when suddenly his lips were kissed by the other person.

Damn it, I really shouldn't have believed this guy's nonsense; he just wants to take advantage of me!

Unfortunately, this was the Rover's last thought before his sanity failed him. As for what happened next, we'll have to wait for the next installment.
