Chapter 44 44: Thought
A new day of training has begun, or in other words, this is the day when Xiao Wu is the only one who suffers.
Xiao Wu can be seen sweating in the rain. Whether she wants it or not, the water and the sky will force her to train.
Occasionally Liu Erlong would come here to watch for a while without disturbing him, just watching him quietly.
This time lasted until ten days later.
These short ten days seemed like ten months to Liu Erlong.
She found that the days without Shuitian were so difficult. It was not because of her physical needs, but because of the sudden departure of her companionship that made her unable to help but rush to Shuitian's room at night.
In the past ten days, she had not gone to see Shrek's people. She would hide away from Yu Xiaogang from a distance, just so that Shuitian could believe in her determination.
But has she really thought about it? If she really had the consciousness to be Shuitian's wife, why would she need to suffer this kind of torture.
She was standing in front of Zhu Zhuqing's room waiting at the moment. She was obviously the dean of this college, but she seemed like an aggrieved girl guarding the door for her boy.
There was some concern in my heart, that dark yellow treasure was priceless and should not have been given to Zhu Zhuqing.
She often assumes the identity of Shuitian's wife, and regards the things Shuitian owns as joint property of the couple.
However, another idea suddenly appeared in her mind, which even shocked her.
She actually felt that the treasure should be given to Tang San. The reason seemed not to be because of his talent, but...
This made Liu Erlong feel bad. She had already had her own thoughts, and it was precisely because of those thoughts that she came up with such thoughts.
Liu Erlong came back to his senses as a faint voice came from the room.
She is familiar with this kind of voice, and it's not like she hasn't heard it when Shuitian is around...
The door was pushed open, and Shuitian came out with an expressionless expression, "Thank you for your hard work~"
Liu Erlong was slightly comforted. It seemed that he was not tempted, but he felt even more guilty because of his sudden thoughts.
Without having time to think about his thanks, he entered the room hastily and closed the door tightly.
Inside the room, there was Zhu Zhuqing, who was imprisoned by the ice on the bed. Her face was hot and she was moaning very ambiguously.
The side effects of that thing were like this. Jiang Zhu was even worse than she was when she took it. Liu Erlong had seen it with his own eyes.
Next was her mission. Shuitian took the initiative to find her for the first time in ten days. She would take good care of this girl no matter what.
Waiting outside the room, Shuitian did not expect that Zhu Zhuqing would touch the threshold of level 30 so quickly. It seems that she spent all her time practicing except for daily necessities.
Her diligence is really admirable.
Time passed by quietly, and neither Xiao Wu nor Oscar asked him why he was still standing outside the door after dark.
After each bowed, they went back to their rooms and pretended to be stupid. In the past ten days, they had also noticed that there was some kind of rift in the relationship between Liu Erlong and Shuitian. In short, something was wrong.
They didn't plan to tell anyone about this, they just pretended that they didn't know what to do and focused on studying to reduce unnecessary trouble.
This night was very difficult for Zhu Zhuqing. If it weren't for the ice that kept her sane, she didn't know how rude she would have done.
In the end, he couldn't bear the torture anymore and fell asleep, letting the energy run through his body.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that she was awakened by Liu Erlong.
The smell in the room when she woke up changed her face, and she was even more ashamed to find that the smell came from her own body.
Liu Erlong, who was still prepared, opened the skylight to disperse the smell and prepared bath water for her. Zhu Zhuqing was also touched that Dean Tangtang treated a student like this, but she understood that Shuitian must have invited her here.
After making sure she had a change of clothes, Liu Erlong burned the impurity-stained skirt to ashes.
When I walked out of the room, I realized that Shuitian had been guarding here.
She knew Shuitian was protecting his students, but it felt really good to open the door and see him.
Although there was only one step away, Liu Erlong didn't know how to speak, so he could only find topics from Zhu Zhuqing: "This child's physique has improved a lot after taking your whale gum. After absorbing the third soul ring, his soul power should be improved a lot." .”
"I know."
Shuitian's answer was very brief. He had thought a lot in the past ten days. He was lying to himself when he said he didn't want to continue with Liu Erlong. But he wouldn't let himself become a clown. He couldn't be sure that Liu Erlong had really let go. He would not give in even a little bit before Yu Xiaogang.
Such a perfunctory answer made Liu Erlong a little sad. He reached out to grab his hand, completely ignoring Oscar under the shade of the tree and Xiao Wu who had just sat down to rest.
When his hand was touched, Shuitian silently stepped forward to avoid it.
The distance at this step was too far, so far that Liu Erlong could hardly see any hope.
The hand that grasped the empty space fell down weakly. He was not ready to accept himself yet, because those casual words had hurt him. Maybe he saw through that there was another name in his heart.
"I'm going to take her to the Sunset Forest tomorrow. Can I leave this place to you while I'm away?" Turning to look at Liu Erlong, Shuitian gave her own test.
For ten days, Shrek's people wanted to come here to see these three children and wandered outside for a long time, but they had to give up because he was here.
There are two giant trees beside the path leading here, with a wooden sign hanging on each.
That is an absolute prohibition. No one except the two deans and students is allowed to enter and disturb the students' cultivation.
It's not that Shuitian wanted to hide the special training equipment, but that he was upset by students who wanted to join in the fun in the past, so he made such a rule.
This time Liu Erlong nodded without hesitation, "Don't worry, I will supervise these two children."
But Shuitian shook his head and pointed to the entrance with his finger, saying nothing.
Following the direction of his finger, Liu Erlong understood what he meant, and his heart tightened. Sure enough, he didn't want Shrek to come into contact with these children.
But she still said, "I know what to do."
She felt that Flanders and others were very talkative and could understand the rules of the academy even if they asked for help on her head, so she agreed without hesitation.
Seeing this, Shuitian finally showed a little smile, "I worked hard for you last night. Go eat something and have a good sleep."
"Hmm~"
Liu Erlong finally saw his smile again, and even if he still wanted to talk to him, he left obediently, turning back three times at a time.
Looking back, all I saw was Shuitian's smile, until her figure disappeared from the field.
The smile suddenly stopped, the eight soul rings appeared and disappeared quickly, and the phoenix soul mark flashed in the sky as if they had never appeared before.
The only thing that could prove that he had released his martial soul was the sword finger aimed at the end of a tree and the light of the black soul ring that had not completely dissipated.
The mental fluctuations in the space were very strong, so strong that Xiao Wu looked up at Shuitian in horror.
On the top branch of the big tree, a small diamond-shaped ice crystal reflected everything here.
It was the fusion product of the sixth soul skill, Ice Mirror, and spiritual energy.
