Gao Huating heard soone talking next to her in a muffled voice, still half-asleep.
"...Hmm, so let’s proceed with this plan: you first heal, our periter Blade Beast Group is retreating, and for now, we will have a rare relaxed period."
"Has the awakening level of the Pillar Level Blade Beast really dropped?"
"It has dropped, now at 36%."
"I’m sowhat skeptical; that King-level Preacher might be key to awakening the Pillar Level Blade Beast."
Pillar Level Blade Beast?
What is that?
Gao Huating felt a burning sensation in her throat; she weakly sat up, feeling a slight foreign sensation in her ears.
She reached to touch it and pulled out two earplugs.
The sound of the world instantly returned, and she could clearly hear the conversation of the two people outside the curtain.
"We still can’t be sure why the Pillar Level Blade Beast and the main Blade Beast Group are sleeping. According to the information we had before, it really might have been shut down forcibly by Spirit Cultivators."
"The enemy is very powerful, and we are very weak. Let’s hurry up and develop."
"Then we’ll need Mr. Wang’s care even more."
"This Ms. Gao has woken up; Commander, do you want to et her?"
"No, I still have a lot of things to handle; you manage these minor matters."
Commander!
Gao Huating moved to the edge of the curtain and just caught a glimpse of that tall, burly chanical maniac as he ducked out of the dical room’s door.
She instinctively wanted to salute but didn’t know what kind of salute to perform, so she ended up bowing with her eyes closed.
Wang Jixuan watched with a smile from the side.
All ordinary Fortress residents grew up listening to the tales of Fu Jian, and his glorious achievents filled their textbooks too so it was understandable that Gao Huating would react this way upon seeing their protector god out of the blue.
"Thank you."
He said calmly, flicking a finger casually.
Gao Huating only felt a cool breath circle around her throat’s tip, instantly removing the dryness and leaving it fresh and cool.
This was much more effective than nthol candies.
However, Gao Huating still felt sowhat uneasy, not knowing where to place her fair, thin-skinned fingers with slight calluses. She looked up at Daoist Wang in the patient’s robe and imdiately averted her eyes.
Gao Huating whispered, "You...you are too kind..."
Out of the blue, she added, "We’re neighbors, after all, and should help each other... It’s in the residents’ handbook..."
"Hahaha, the residents’ handbook."
Wang Jixuan’s hearty laughter emanated from the dical room; Wu Man and Mu Dan who had just arrived outside instinctively stopped in their tracks.
Wang Jixuan softly said, "Please take a seat first; I have sothing to discuss with you... Don’t be nervous, T Teacher, I am also a fan of yours."
"Ah?"
Gao Huating paused for a mont, then realizing what ’T Teacher’ ant, she shyly smiled.
For soone of his stature, knowing this little secret of hers wouldn’t be difficult.
She walked over to a simple seat that extended from the bed, sat down with her legs together, hands flat on her knees, chest out, head up, and shoulders relaxed.
This was the standard posture taught at the infant care center.
Wang Jixuan pondered how to begin speaking.
Gao Huating waited for a minute or two, then stealthily glanced over and asked softly, "Is there sothing serious?"
"Yes, not just serious, but it also involves how you should proceed in the future."
Wang Jixuan adjusted the angle of the elevated bed, leaned back, and tried to make his sitting posture as relaxed as possible to avoid putting too much pressure on Gao Huating.
"Let first introduce myself.
"My na is Wang Zheng, born in Middle City of Fortress 76, an accidental heir to an alien civilization, currently barely playing the role of a fake hero trying to save the world in D5 Combined Combat Zone."
Gao Huating blinked, "A fake hero..."
"Because the starting point for most of my actions is actually to make life more comfortable for myself."
Wang Jixuan shrugged:
"But obviously, the Blade Beasts and evil Spiritual Ability Users don’t want to be comfortable.
"So I can only defeat them—by helping D5 and human civilization—then continue living comfortably.
"That’s pretty much it.
"My personal pursuit is to beco strong, to ultimately achieve self-transcendence. I have so special combat abilities, like this."
Wang Jixuan raised his hand and a bottle of purified water smoothly flew towards Gao Huating.
Gao Huating’s eyes shone, "Spiritual Energy!"
It’s Spiritual Energy!
Wang Jixuan ntally corrected but continued:
"You can think of as a special Spiritual Ability User, though I am not. There’s much secrecy and complexity involved here.
"As our relationship deepens...don’t misunderstand, I an a cooperative and unified effort towards a common goal... you will gradually learn more about these."
"I can’t force you to do anything; you have to agree to all this.
"I can now tell you explicitly... you possess extraordinary talent."
Extraordinary, talent?
Gao Huating’s eyes imdiately filled with light.
Her cheeks slightly flushed as she looked directly at Wang Jixuan for the first ti and asked softly, "Do I really have it?"
"Yes, and it’s not just about singing well... Do you have any feelings about it yourself?"
"Yes!"
Gao Huating eagerly and earnestly spoke:
"Recently, actually shortly after you moved here the second ti, I could see, your room often seed to gather many light spots.
"They seed able to communicate with , I could feel, they like you very much."
This ti it was Wang Jixuan’s turn to be surprised.
Seeing Spiritual Energy!?
"What else?" Wang Jixuan asked.
"There’s more, but it’s a bit hard to say."
Gao Huating was a bit shy and muttered softly:
"Sotis, it’s not even dreaming; just a trance can make it happen. For instance, if I stare at a light for a while and my mind wanders off, I might see a big sun."
