Book 4: Chapter 58:2: The Aggressive Liz, Part 2
Chen Heng quickly released Nightingale.
“Why did you let go? I haven’t nodded yet?” Nightingale cocked her head to the side, playing innocent. However, her actions...
“...” Perhaps it was Chen Heng’s misperception, but he saw a teasing expression in the usually pure Nightingale’s eyes.
Skadi, who was to Chen Heng’s left, did not understand the interaction between the two. Are friends normally this intimate with each other?
“You have to take full responsibility. Hus. Band,” Nightingale whispered into Chen Heng’s right ear.
Chen Heng broke out in a cold sweat. Responsibility? What responsibility? I only went a little overboard with my words. The consequences should not be this severe, right?
If he had not rescued Nightingale in person, he would have thought she was a different person. She is overly aggressive, coming on strong. All I did was...
[Author Note: You don’t really think Chen Heng and Nightingale did not interact with each other during those two and a half hours in the maze, right? I initially wanted to write it in, but I feared you readers would complain about padding the word count, so I didn’t.]
“Erm...I suddenly feel a little sleepy. I’m going to take a nap. Don’t disturb me. I’m bad-tempered when I’m woken up.” Master Chen decided to use sleep to escape this awkward situation.
“Is that so? I would like to see how bad-tempered Chen Heng can be when I wake him up.” Nightingale placed a finger on her lips, appearing pensive.
How very alluring! Ah! Ptooey! It’s very scary.
Nightingale, let me tell you this: don’t push me into a corner. I am capable of anything. By then...
However, Chen Heng only dared to think this; he would never say it aloud. After all, he would be the one suffering in the end.
Because he sold some cultivation techniques in the morning, he had earned points numbering in the five digits—enough to repair his Absolute Precognition.
Chen Heng had been wondering when he could raise enough points to repair it; he had never expected to raise sufficient points by selling cultivation techniques.
When Chen Heng returned to his room earlier, he had used 50,000 points and the half-price discount card Alaya gave him to purchase the service to repair the Absolute Precognition.
There was nothing much to explain about the process, as Chen Heng did not feel any different. If pressed to state something, perhaps his eyes felt a little sore, but they quickly recovered.
Kal’tsit: ??
Kal’tsit: What are you trying to do? Don’t mess around.
He Who Knows Fate: What are you thinking? Do I look like someone who messes around?
Kal’tsit: You don’t look like one...
He Who Knows Fate: That’s the way.
Kal’tsit: You are one.
He Who Knows Fate: ...
Kal’tsit: Just look. You have been at Rhodes Island for only three or four days, and what have you done? Every day, Doctor keeps crying about promoting you to Elite 1. She refuses to get up when I don’t agree. You broke the laboratory’s wall when you tested your ability. When you stored your blood in the blood bank, you shaped Warfarin, a senior medical staff of Rhodes Island, to your liking. After that, you coaxed Nightingale into calling you Husband while treating her. Now, you took Skadi away. To think you could even do that! Now, you want to play prophet? Are you thinking of playing God?
He Who Knows Fate: ...
Efreet: A mass complaint.
Magus of Flowers: Kal’tsit, you poor thing.
He Who Knows Fate: Alright, alright. I won’t change my codename.
Kal’tsit: This is not a problem of codenames. I have no problem, even if you change your codename ten times. The main thing is to avoid using your Absolute Precognition to cause problems. You can change your codename; just don’t cause problems.
Magus of Flowers: Prepare for fire, thieves, and Chen Heng. Well done.
He Who Knows Fate: Merlin, you are getting carried away. Are you thinking that I—the administrator—will not take action?
Magus of Flowers: I was merely speaking the truth.
I Have a Strong Presence: Am I the only one interested in the Absolute Precognition ability?
Iron Fist Teacher: No. I’m interested too.
