Li Qianxia slowly opened her eyes, her head still throbbing with pain.
After groaning, she suddenly woke up, rembered what had happened before, and instinctively shouted, "Qing Lan!"
"The first person my sister calls out to after waking up is soone else, shouldn't you reflect on that?"
"Are you soone else?"
Li Qianxia turned her head toward the voice and saw Yang Qinglan sitting on a white sofa by the western-style fireplace in the room, while her brother leaned against the fireplace, seemingly studying its structure.
The long-unseen Czar Princess, Bi, was lying on the long sofa opposite Yang Qinglan, holding an apple in her hand. She had just taken a bite, making a crisp crunching sound.
Li Qianxia stared blankly at this scene, which resembled a family portrait. Google seaʀᴄh Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
"...I'm not dreaming, am I?" she murmured.
"You might be," Bi chewed the fruit twice, "pinch yourself."
Li Qianxia paused for a mont, then lay back down, her eyes open, as if she still hadn't fully awakened.
Yang Qinglan withdrew his gaze and said to Li Changzhou, "Keep reflecting."
".....Our original agreent was 'no solo adventures before we et up', wasn't it? The one who should be reflecting is you two."
"We are two people."
"This—" Li Changzhou faltered, even knowing it was a joke, Yang Qinglan's words were sharp.
Yang Qinglan pursed his lips and smiled slightly, "Okay, Qian Xia is awake now, it's your turn to share what has happened during this ti."
Both of their deanors relaxed a lot.
"Woke up, turned into a vampire, randomly t a player disguised as a reporter on the street, then thanks to Bi's reminder, I awakened Hot Sight, not sure if it's Laser Eye, what's the difference between these two?"
"Don't know." Yang Qinglan answered bluntly.
"Hot Sight?" Li Qianxia sat up slightly.
"Laser Eye?!" She swung her legs out of bed.
Li Changzhou looked towards the ground, his gaze moving from left to right, drawing a charred black scorch mark.
The scorch mark glowed red, displaying how terrifying the temperature was, and also the sparkle from the crystallized soil.
"People of the motherland!" Li Qianxia stood up.
"Look! Look!" Bi also jumped up, "I told you it was the people of the motherland!"
She excitedly took another bite of her apple.
"Say I'm from the motherland again, and I'll shoot you dead with Hot Sight," Li Changzhou warned.
"Okay, person of the motherland!" Li Qianxia imdiately replied, "Bro, you have this ability, do I have it too?"
"Why don't you try and see for yourself?"
"It's all my doing, hmm." Bi was quite proud.
"Yes, it's Bi's doing," Li Changzhou admitted, "if she hadn't reminded , I might have never noticed it for the rest of my life."
An ordinary person who would suddenly shoot Hot Sight from their eyes? He was the King of Black Fog, the 'sovereign' of humans, not soone with adolescent delusions.
Li Qianxia remained silent, her eyes intently staring at the ground.
Yang Qinglan glanced at her, ensuring she was ntally recovering well before completely letting go of his worries.
Li Changzhou easily defeated the 'Face-Stealing Ghost' with Black Death God, but Li Qianxia had been unconscious all the ti. Elixir Pills, Blood Pearl, everything best was given to her, yet nothing had awakened her.
Since coming back last night until now, she and Li Changzhou had been constantly by her side.
Li Changzhou sat silently beside the bed half the night.
Yang Qinglan was also exhausted, but hers was just a simple 'ability' exhaustion not like Li Qianxia, who had also forced herself to use Visualization, overexerting herself ntally.
"From now on, no matter what happens," she began, "Qian Xia, you first et up with your brother."
"This way I won't be able to train myself, will I? If I were with my brother this ti, my Divine Fire Map would probably take much longer to break through." Li Qianxia looked up.
Yang Qinglan tilted her head, using her hand to block her line of sight, "Don't look at , I'm now allergic to you siblings' gaze."
"Hehe!" Li Qianxia laughed joyfully, "Sooner or later, no, maybe just after another evolution of my brother's body, I could also beco Superwoman!"
"No way!" Her expression suddenly changed.
"What's wrong?" Li Changzhou looked at his sister, straightening up his languid body against the fireplace.
Li Qianxia ignored her brother, her expression grave as she turned to Yang Qinglan, "Qing Lan, if not—"
"Stop, I know what you're going to say!" Yang Qinglan interrupted her.
"What on earth are you two talking about?" Li Changzhou looked back and forth between the two, but guessed it was nothing important.
"I have to say this," Li Qianxia insisted, "Qing Lan, if you don't have a child with my brother, you might really never be able to in the future! My brother is not going to stay human!"
If looks could kill, Li Qianxia would have been slain by Li Changzhou's glare.
Yang Qinglan thought seriously: "I still haven't decided whether I want children or not."
"Of course, you want!" Li Qianxia got off the bed, walked over in two or three steps, and sat on the arm of Yang Qinglan's white armchair.
"Qing Lan, think about it," she said, "without children, who will you give your Yanhe Road house to? What about the books in the bookstore, right? And my brother's Honey Pot World, all those things, are you going to give them to so nieces and nephews?"
"I don't associate with relatives," Yang Qinglan said.
"Then you definitely can't give it to them! You must have children and pass your hard-earned belongings to your own kids!" Li Qianxia grabbed her hand, her grip firm as if instilling belief.
Yang Qinglan hesitated, looked up at Li Changzhou: "Then—shall we have one?"
Li Changzhou was so terrified he was beside himself, he touched his nose and looked around with a world-weary gaze.
"Clearly a virgin who's never been out in the real world," Li Qianxia looked down on him, embarrassed by his reaction.
Yang Qinglan kissed the back of her hand and laughed, also slightly disdainful and a bit shy.
