Chapter 19 It Doesnt Seem Like They Were Important People After All
Wu Yan watched her smile with unbridled confidence, and seeing that Yan Zhao had no intention of stopping her, he pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Fine. After I finish my meeting, I will call the shuttle captain and have you dropped off at a nearby planet.
I will send people to pick you up!"Qiu Ling hummed in agreement.
"Alright, see you later."With that, she clicked off the video call.The two people in front of Wu Yan suddenly vanished.
He rubbed his forehead and couldn't help but twitch his lips.It seemed that apart from a few people in his family, rarely would anyone hang up on him first.Originally, he had thought this was a very simple and well-behaved Little Girl, but after this call, he had a premonition that the days ahead would not be very peaceful, and he didn't know if it would be a blessing or a curse.Since they were about to head to the Supply Star where the beast tide had erupted, Qiu Ling stood up straight away.
"I need to go to the bathroom to take another marrow-washing and meridian-cleansing pill.
Once my body is lighter, I can react faster when I encounter danger, and with my Aptitude improved, Cultivating will yield twice the result with half the effort.
Yan Zhao, you should go find a bathroom outside yourself.
"Leaving those words behind, she ducked into the bathroom without looking back.Yan Zhao, having been left behind, smiled helplessly and obediently went out to find a place.Taking the marrow-washing and meridian-cleansing pill for the second time, her body still felt intense discomfort.
Her skin, flesh, tendons, and bones were being kneaded and pulled bit by bit, and the very faint vitality contained within the Medicinal Pill was like seeds being sown, taking root in every one of her Acupoints.Three hours later, the medicinal effects finally dissipated, and Qiu Ling's attention was immediately pulled back by a pungent, foul stench.
That scent, strong enough to blow her skullcap off, made her retch twice.This time, she had the foresight to take off her clothes before taking the Medicinal Pill, so she simply turned on the shower to wash up.Using Qi to dry her hair, she emerged from the bathroom with a smile in her eyes; her body felt even more transparent, and her steps were incredibly light.She looked down at the messages on her light brain.
Wu Yan had held a two-hour meeting; the Third, Fifth, and Seventh Legions would jointly send troops to resist the medium-scale beast tide on Supply Star No.
00125, while the Eighth Legion would assist in collecting supplies.After the meeting ended, they each had half a day to prepare before traveling by military flying shuttle.As for Qiu Ling and Yan Zhao, they would transfer to Wu Yan's private flying shuttle at a transit planet at five o'clock tomorrow morning, and his guard detail would escort them to Supply Star No.
00125.Qiu Ling replied with an "OK" emoji and then turned off her light brain.Yan Zhao had also finished showering outside by now and entered the room with his hair slightly damp.Before he could compose a suitable expression on his face, he crouched down in front of Qiu Ling and rubbed her slightly frizzy hair.
"Ling Ling, where exactly did you come from?
This marrow-washing and meridian-cleansing pill is really potent.
Many of the hidden injuries in my body from before have loosened up, and I feel like I've lost half my weight.
"Recalling the layer of pitch-black sludge that had been expelled from his body, Yan Zhao was still in a daze.Qiu Ling smiled and reached out to rub his hair as well, using some flameless Fire Spirit Qi in her hand to dry his hair for him.
She repeated the explanation she had given to Qiu Ze to him again:"Anyway, the memories in my brain are very fragmented.
I don't know how many people's things are mixed in there; it will take a long time to sort them out.
It's not that I know what I can do right now, but rather that when I encounter something that triggers those memory fragments, that's when I realize what I know.
"Yan Zhao's expression was solemn. "Darling, who else have you told about this?
""I've only told my brother; even my dad doesn't know," Qiu Ling curled her lips.
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I know who I can tell and who I can't."Yan Zhao couldn't help but flick her forehead lightly.
"And you say you're not stupid? We haven't even met for a day, and you've already spilled such important information?
"Qiu Ling couldn't help but tilt her head.
"But didn't you also give me your storage ring, and, and hold me and call me wife?
We are a married couple on the same certificate, what is there that can't be said?
"She had always believed in exchanging heart for heart.Moreover, this explanation was to cover up the fact that she had borrowed a corpse to resurrect, and it was also convenient for her to display various Divine Abilities that the Original Owner wouldn't know or have access to!
Who was the fool remained to be seen."Then haven't you seen the saying online that 'a man's mouth is a deceitful ghost'?
You shouldn't trust any promise one hundred percent; you must leave thirty percent of space for doubt.
I don't even trust myself, yet you actually trust me so much?
""Then are you telling me to trust you or not to trust you?
" Qiu Ling was dizzy from being led in circles; how could one not trust themselves?
Yan Zhao couldn't explain it clearly to her either, so he could only press her into his embrace.
"Trust me. I will strive to make myself worthy of your reliance.
"Qiu Ling chuckled and hugged his waist. "The internet says that a married couple should treat each other with sincerity, invest their feelings without reservation, and have no suspicion so they won't miss each other because of misunderstandings.
My temperament is quite straightforward; I don't like playing tricks, and I don't want to waste time on beating around the bush.
From now on, let's just say whatever is on our minds.
If there's something I don't understand, you can teach me slowly.
""Alright, what a coincidence; I also don't like people close to me scheming against one another," Yan Zhao said with a gentle expression.His cunning was reserved for outsiders; he couldn't bear to use it on such a pure Little Girl.Lunch was still what Yan Zhao had taken out of the storage ring: seafood noodles, braised pork ribs with potatoes, braised eggplant, and egg drop soup.Qiu Ling successfully ate until she was stuffed and was pulled by Yan Zhao to pace around the room to digest her food.
"Darling, I heard you had four fiancés before?
" Yan Zhao asked nonchalantly.Mentioning this, Qiu Ling became a bit excited, pulling his arm with a full desire to share.Qiu Ling recounted how the Third Uncle Qiu's family had schemed against her, kicked her while she was down, snatched her marriage prospects, and after flaunting their power, ended up being thrown heavily to the ground.
"It's a pity Qiu Yi had good luck; the System randomly matched her with a prince from a federal nation.
"She continued to gesture to Yan Zhao about how coolly she had won the storage rings belonging to Qiu Yi and her man.Yan Zhao found it amusing; alright then, his little wife hadn't mentioned those four men even once, so it seemed they weren't important people after all.He followed Qiu Ling's lead, praising her for being capable, smart, and having brains and methods.Qiu Ling felt so comfortable, just like someone smoothing down her fur.
In just a few sentences, she felt even more that the man the System had chosen for her was perfect in every way!
Now that she didn't have much Qi stored in her body, she couldn't support Alchemy or Artifact Refining.
Since she had finished digesting her food, she dragged Yan Zhao to play online games with her.Yan Zhao was bored, and seeing her sincere invitation, he agreed.He had mentally prepared himself, thinking the online games she liked would be dress-up parties, kart racing, dance troupes, or other things that Little Girls loved to play.He didn't expect that the interface she opened was actually the current hottest game, Interstellar Terminator.This was a high-score holographic online game simulating various battles against Vicious Beasts, Demonic Beasts, and the Zerg.
Many soldiers enlisting in the military would first use this as an Elementary screening method.As the Former Holy Son of the Interstellar Sanctuary, he also often led teams to slaughter in the game as one of the examination subjects.While Qiu Ling was peeking over, Yan Zhao opened the game interface on his light brain, curled his lips slightly, and clicked auto-login.When he went online, a world banner was raised above the game interfaces of all online players: "Welcome back to the Jianghu, Yan Nineteen, ranked seventh on the combat power leaderboard. .."
