Chapter 54: Overstrained (1/2)

Why did she fucking faint again? Tang Doudou felt seriously distressed.

She hadn’t even been here for half a month, yet there wasn’t a single healthy area remaining on her body.

Tang Doudou discovered that she had returned to the room in Plum Garden after she opened her eyes. She became even more ladened with grief.

Her brain pulsed for a few moments. She then recalled the way she hugged Baili Yu and called him big evil spirit while crying with ‘hualala’s. She became even more speechless at herself. How terrified was she exactly to actually hug Baili Yu and snivel?

Speaking of sniveling, Tang Doudou recalled her nose and rubbed it. She discovered with amazement that its surface was nice and smooth, and without half a trace of a scar. It didn’t even hurt anymore.

It was probably healed if it wasn’t hurting anymore. Tang Doudou put down her hand and ceased thinking about it. Her brain felt really muddled at the moment. The more she dwelled on the situation, the more confused she became as to what exactly happened.

All she did was take a trip to the Alliance Head Residence, but how did so many things end up happening?

Jun Xin was actually easy to explain. Plum Garden was right next door, so he was probably bored and followed her to enjoy the show. But Mu Ye, where did that ghost crawl out from?

All she remembered was that she was still trying to think of a way to boost everyone’s morale so that they would go with her to save Bai Feiyun. She was cracking melon seeds comfortably, then someone suddenly wrapped an iron chain around her neck. Jun Xin appeared before she could even react.

Even if her brain were beaten to the brink of death, she couldn’t have predicted the events that took place thereafter. She was even more baffled at that strength which suddenly surged out of her body.

It was mysterious, but very familiar at the same time.

She couldn’t recall what it was though. Tang Doudou closed her eyes after rubbing her forehead. She wanted to sleep for a bit longer. The next time she wakes up, hopefully there would be a living person who could tell her exactly what happened.

And thus, she fell asleep.

When the sound of even breathing filled the room again, the people hidden in the dark finally appeared and looked at each other silently.

Bai Feiyun took the initiative and spoke, “From what this one sees, the Alliance Head’s injury has already recovered.”

Jun Xin was dissatisfied, “How can it be fine? He’s already slept for half a month! He fell back asleep again after being awake for mere moments!”

“The energy consumption of his body was too large. Sleeping heavily like this is a normal reaction.” Bai Feiyun explained.

Qing Yin shook her head as she walked over from the side. She helped Tang Doudou fix her blankets, then spoke to both of them, “We should let gongzi rest properly. If sirs have things to discuss, sirs can talk it over in the outside guest hall.”

Bai Feiyun smiled warmly. He patted off the dust on his robe and said, “Lady Qing Yin, I had better return to the Alliance Head Residence first. I’ll come back tomorrow to take another look at the Alliance Head.”

Jun Xin immediately flashed over to block him. He stamped his leg horizontally onto the door frame, “Stop right there. You aren’t allowed to leave before Li Xueyi completely wakes up.”

“Young Master Jun, are you forcefully retaining this one?”

Jun Xin pressed his lips together, “That, no. What if he wakes up again after you end up leaving? If there’s anything that he needs to be examined for, I wouldn’t know how to do it!”

“Baili gongzi will know what to do.”

“I don’t want to look for him. You should just stay a couple more days. It’s not like there’s an old tiger here that wants to eat you. Anyways, what good is in it for you to hurry back and face Elder Yu, that old thing?” The topic took a turn as Jun Xin propped up his chin. “As for Bai Lianhua, I’ll just think of some way to throw her far away, so she can’t come bother you.”

Bai Feiyun replied with resoluteness, “This one appreciates Young Master Jun’s good intentions. However, I’ve promised the Alliance Head that I’d look after the Alliance Head Residence for him. This is a promise, and it must be upheld!”

“When did he talk to you about this?” Jun Xin was a bit curious. Would Li Xueyi speak with Bai Feiyun about these things? In any case, Li Xueyi wasn’t interested in that position of Alliance Head at all, at least from what he saw. If someone jumped out and offered to substitute that role of Alliance Head for her, she would’ve definitely handed it over without any objections.

Of course, Elder Yu was an exception. That old thing was far too despicable. Even he couldn’t bring himself to like Elder Yu, so how could Li Xueyi?

Bai Feiyun didn’t speak anymore. He gazed at the fluttering falling petals outside, his eyes suddenly turning distant. “Does Young Master Jun wish to know?”

Jun Xin noticed the ill atmosphere. He put down the leg which was blocking the exit and walked over to Bai Feiyun. His eyes also followed Bai Feiyun’s line of sight and looked over. All that was present was the sight of flowers falling outside soundlessly, yet it was beautiful to the point it hurt the eyes.

“Those flowers are pretty nice.” He should’ve said that he wanted to know, but he suddenly didn’t want to know after seeing those flowers.

Bai Feiyun just smiled. He then cupped his hands and slowly left.

Qing Yin was completely befuddled by the two. She also looked at the flowers outside but didn’t see anything out of the ordinary. She couldn’t help but turn back, wanting to ask Jun Xin what exactly happened.

She had just turned back when she saw that Jun Xin was also walking out. Before he walked out, he even left a sentence: “When Li Xueyi wakes up, go call Baili Yu.”

Everyone left in an instant. Qing Yin returned to the bedside and sat down. Retrieving her gaze, she looked at the Tang Doudou who was growing skinnier. She said softly, “Gongzi, please wake up soon.”

Tang Doudou also really wanted to wake up.

But every time she opened her eyes, she would feel an unusual amount of exhaustion and fall asleep again. T/N

It was just that it seemed the amount of time she was sleeping was lessening.

The amount of time she was awake didn’t change much though.

After numerous times, Tang Doudou also came to understand that there was something very wrong with her body. Otherwise, who could last this long without eating anything? Leaving aside the fact that she had been sleeping this long, she would feel like she had already gone without sleep for a week every time she had woken up for a short time.

Not only was she exhausted, her head also hurt a lot.

Aiy. There’s hasn’t been a single comfortable day for the past while.

Once again, Tang Doudou woke up dazed when the sun was three bamboo poles high.

“Gongzi, you’re awake?”

Her eyelids had just cracked open when she saw Qing Yin’s delicate little face move over. Her beautiful eyes were filled with concern. “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

Tang Doudou gave a pained groan. She closed her eyes again as she was pierced by the brightness of the sunlight. Extending a hand to block the light, she said, “Head, head hurts.”
