Lin Xiao was delighted when he saw ShenDai Ying wake up. Though she was weak, had a pale complexion, and seemed sickly, Lin Xiao still felt she was more beautiful than before and she was comforting to look at.
It was a bumpy road and Lin Xiao was tormented in the illusion for a while and almost got stabbed to death, but all’s well that ends well.
But Lin Xiao wasn’t blinded by his happiness, he knew that even though he forcibly pulled ShenDai Ying out of her insanity, he didn’t cure her! He wasn’t Elena and couldn’t forcibly remove the soul-devouring bug, even if he saved her, that was just forcibly awakening her consciousness, but he couldn’t truly get rid of the bug.
It’s still no good without the medicine, even if she is awake now, there may be more problems down the road, so they had to hurry and return to get treatment.
Also, other than the annoying bug, there was something else troublesome… in the illusion, Lin Xiao saw a huge monster that took up most of her sea of consciousness, which was probably her internal demon.
In order to save her, Lin Xiao had no other choice and could only forcibly punch his way through, but the question was, how could it be defeated so easily with one punch?
It may have vanished now, but it was sure to come back.
Just like her internal demon said, ShenDai Ying’s despair was its best nutrient. So if Lin Xiao doesn’t change ShenDai Ying’s environment and couldn’t help her out of her chains and set her free, her internal demon would come back.
So, Lin Xiao didn’t have much time left, his old plan wouldn’t work anymore, and he had to think of something else! The good news was that after his trip to her consciousness, he learned a lot and he was forming a more bold and effective plan in his hand. He believed that his new plan could get rid of all her problems and set her free!
But… it wasn’t time yet, his plan needed an opportunity, at that time, he’ll surely… hehe…
“Lin Xiao, what are you laughing for?”
“Hehe, n-nothing, I just suddenly thought of something interesting.”
“What else could it be? Seeing you laugh that happily, it must be something perverted!”
“Uh… sister Ying, please, I’m a gentleman!”
Sister Ying smiled and then asked about what had happened. Just like Caesar, she had no idea about what she did. But there was one thing she did remember, in her dreams, she saw Lin Xiao. But in her dreams, he was extremely strong, like a god, and was completely different to how he was like in reality, lazy and easy-going.
“So you’re saying the third apostle awakened the bug asleep in me, then I went insane and tried to kill you, then you hugged and kissed me, broke through my defenses, went into the depths of my subconsciousness and saved me?”
“Hm, pretty much.”
Lin Xiao scratched his head and made everything sound easy, but Elena shook her head when he deliberately withheld details.
You did so much, and your heart was almost pierced, yet you didn’t mention any of it… tsk, might as well change your name to the ocean since gentle men are like the ocean and accept everything!
ShenDai Ying knew her own strength well, she also knew how strong Lin Xiao was and knew there was a low chance of her beating him, but with her speed, there was no way he could catch her alive!
If that’s the case, what method did he use to be able to catch her without killing her?
There was definitely something fishy! He was lying!
“Tell me, what really happened!?”
“Hm… sister Ying, nothing much, I just…”
“He just used his ribs to stop your sword so you couldn’t move.” Before Lin Xiao could answer, Elena beat him to it.
“Oh, I see, he used his ribs to stop my sword…” ShenDai Ying nodded but realized something was wrong, “Hey! Stinking maid, are you messing with me… how does he stop a sword with his ribs? Wouldn’t that mean his chest was pierced through?”
“Oh, so you know.”
You should know… this woman almost killed Lin Xiao! So naturally Elena had to lecture her and understand her sins.
Although Lin Xiao was a pervert, you can’t do that to him! Who would be willing to be stabbed and almost died… yet you didn’t even thank him, how annoying!
“What? That… that happened!?”
ShenDai Ying immediately understood why Elena was treating her like that and why Lin Xiao didn’t reveal everything about what happened.
So she did something unforgivable and almost killed Lin Xiao!
“Lin Xiao! I…”
“Hehe, don’t listen to her! She’s just like that, don’t worry about it.”
“But I… I almost!”
“Ah, it’s actually not as bad as she made it out to be! … I didn’t believe you would actually kill me, so I let you stab me.”
Lin Xiao scratched his head and comforted ShenDai Ying while reaching out with one hand and secretly tugging at Elena’s clothes to get her to stop being jealous.
“Also… my wound was actually quite shallow, so it’s fine!”
“It’s fine? I know my moves, it would surely pierce you through and even if it didn’t hit any fatal areas, you would still bleed out!”
“But I’m fine! I put on some medicine and the blood already stopped.”
“What kind of medicine is that strong… I don’t believe it, let me see!”
“Hm… okay, okay, I’ll let you see.”
“What? It’s actually… that shallow?”
SehnDai Ying was speechless as she stared at his wound, but Lin Xiao kept looking at Elena like they were hiding some secret.
That’s right, her sword did create a deep wound, the only reason the wound was so shallow now was thanks to the demon king. When Lin Xiao was stuck in her consciousness, Elena thought that Lin Xiao had died at first, but quickly realized he was still alive and started treating him.
She first had to pull out the sword which created a deep opening that bled a lot, but thankfully the demon king had a miracle medicine that could resurrect the dead.
