Chapter 165 - Invited to Come

Walking?!

Chuan Nayi consciously looked down at herself and indeed realize that the pain she endured for so long had vanished just after one good night's sleep. Wrong, it wasn't a good night's sleep. It was Guangru. She quickly covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming. She… she just couldn't move around all of a sudden!

Li Feng made her hold his stuff before running back into the bedroom, noticing some of them actually waking up. He took the folded wheelchair and hoped that no one noticed Chuan Nayi walking earlier. Even if it was inconvenient, she still had to pretend that her legs couldn't feel anything. She could barely spit on the sink, but wasn't that what she was used to these past days?

After Li Feng finished, he started dabbing his towel on his mouth and chin. He then asked Chuan Nayi. "Tell me what happened last night. You can't recover… just like that..."

Chuan Nayi then sighed while she dried her chin. "Guangru visited me last night. He was trying to make sure that I was really here and that I was not taken against my will. He also said… that he's willing to accept me if I would, him." Her grip on the towel tightened, and her eyes watered. She envied Li Feng so badly when Guangru kept on healing him. Now, she finally had her miracle…

"...wow. We have to let Ruan Jin know..." Li Feng leaned both arms on the sink and sighed. He then started laughing, but it was getting stifled like he really didn't want to let it out. "Nayi, how does it feel to feel your entire body again? I mean, I've been there… bedridden and crippled. Damn, best feeling in the world…"

"You're not going to say anything? Like… but it's the child..."

"Look, the child had a lot of atrocious things to answer for, but that doesn't rule out the fact that he saved me, he saved my father, he saved Xiao Luan and Mommy..." Li Feng held onto his forehead. "Nayi, you can't take away someone's goodness just because they had been bad to most people you know—and even to you before."

Li Feng then went to squat down as if getting a good look at Chuan Nayi's face. "You said so before… Guangru is a child. Children make mistakes, and we didn't allow him to make them because of what he is. However, when I saw the devotion of the guardian towards him, I… just realized that, even to the eyes of the ethereal, he's… he's just a child. He will learn a lot of things… and maybe it's a good thing that he will now have someone to guide him…

"Guangru might be a demon, but… he's not trying to be one. He's just used to it… his power, his command..."

"Okay, then I guess I'm safe from you popping my happy bubble..." Chuan Nayi clawed on her towel, but that was only because she couldn't stop herself from trembling in joy. Being able to walk again… how sweet was that? After talking about the past, she did feel resentful that she had to be barred from doing a lot of things now.

The door then opened, and a few girls paused when they saw Li Feng. He got up and pointed at his face… then outside. When the girls nodded, he could only give in. He took his toiletry basin with him and just decided to hit the showers before anyone else would.

…

Pfft! Ruan Jin shouldn't have drunk that juice while listening to Chuan Nayi. Lucky for Li Feng, he managed to evade and put his arm in the way of the spray. He then glared at the offender, but Ruan Jin ignored him completely. The horseman pointed out towards Chuan Nayi's face, but Li Feng pushed his hand away.

"You better not be kidding me!" Ruan Jin was too fl.u.s.tered to control himself and forget that he wasn't talking to Liu Xiaodan and the rest. "Is that for real?! If he came, then that means—!" He covered his mouth and then used his wheezing voice. "Xiaodan knows we're here!"

"Not really." Chuan Nayi only smiled a little. She knew that Ruan Jin was too excited to care about her or his manners. "Their minds aren't connected. Guangru did show up, but that didn't mean he'd tell Xiaodan. For now, we're only sure that Xiaodan really is here… and whatever happened two days ago didn't do anything bad to him. That's… very nice to know..."

"Shit! Shit! Shit! I can't wait to see him again!" Ruan Jin laughed out. 

Since Liu Xiaodan massacred Ren Ditian and his goons, Ruan Jin had only spoken with Liu Xiaodan twice. Even if the setting was very off, he just really wanted to see his best friend again. After hearing about it, he started murmuring to himself while eating their breakfast.

Perhaps only Qiao Shan was not happy about the matter. She couldn't sleep last night after she heard that Chuan Nayi knew about Red Justice. The mere fact that she also knew that it was a military venture of the Qiao family made Qiao Shan wonder if Chuan Nayi about the power of the kings.

Moreover, Project Hades.

The princess felt her entire body shudder like the first time she heard about it. Not only were they gathered by the Qiao Family Head that night before deployment, but she was also able to meet this notorious Wu Zhong, the occult consultant of Cherry Med's projects. They had specifically told everyone to engage with a patient in Cherry Medical's Treatment Hall call Patient 4-28… or known to them as Project Hades.

With the once-deemed failed project teeming with its fullest power, it was their task to seduce the patient into trusting them. Building relations and the promise of taking him out of the facility could be used. As for other methods, it was truly up to them. 

However, Qiao Shan knew that Liu Xiaodan's friends would be coming to convince him as well. If they managed to turn Liu Xiaodan away from his power as what he was deemed to achieve, then… she had no idea what the Qiao family was willing to do. It would be disastrous, but she couldn't bring herself to warn the three. It would compromise her loyalty to the Qiao family. Even if she was the one who brought them here.

'Mother in Heaven, please help me.' Qiao Shan hid it all in her heart, but the food on her mouth had never tasted so bland. More when she kept on stealing glances of Li Feng's face whose eyes looked so ever burning.

…

"Mr. Wu, someone wants to see you." The maid spoke as she approached her master who was preparing for another day. He had to attend to a few things so he couldn't come to the facility these days. Today was the first day of the Red Scales testing. He had to be there.

Wu Zhong slid his eyes to the side. "Did you tell them I am here?"

"No, sir, but she said she came to see you because you invited her to come." When Wu Zhong heard these words, he paused. "She said her name is Wu Qianqian."
