SWDnovel Chapter 165 Tang Jinxiu
Chapter 165 Tang Jinxiu
Jiao Jiao took a deep breath, trying to suppress the tension and discomfort in her heart. She peeked out from behind Xu Si, her gaze falling on the pale, almost lifeless face of the woman on the bed.
"I...I'll try," she whispered, then walked to the bedside.
Su Su and Xu Si stood a little distance away, one on each side, remaining vigilant, but their eyes were also fixed on Jiao Jiao.
Fu Xiaojian stood at the door, watching the commotion outside.
Chen Pei stepped back two steps, giving Jiao Jiao space, his excessively clear eyes fixed on Jiao Jiao's movements.
Jiao Jiao squatted down by the bed and placed her hands lightly on Jinxiu's forehead.
She closed her eyes, trying to clear her mind of distractions and activating the sequence origin within her body that belonged to the "Radiant Believer".
A milky white halo slowly emerged from her palm, initially as faint as a candle flame, then becoming stable and bright, carrying a gentle and pure aura.
A halo of light flowed down like water, gently enveloping Jinxiu's head and then spreading throughout her entire body.
Jiao Jiao's brows furrowed slightly.
Tang Jinxiu, who was lying in bed, did not suffer any physical injury, and her "recovery" did not have any effect.
Seeing Jiao Jiao shake her head, the light in Chen Pei's eyes dimmed.
Tang Jinxiu was not actually his biological sister; she was just a woman he rescued from the city.
There were originally more than just the two of them, but the eeriness truly is everywhere.
When he was only a Sequence 1, he couldn't protect so many people at all; people died almost every day back then.
In the end, only the two of them remained, relying on each other for survival.
Even after he reached Sequence 3, the outcome remained unchanged.
He still couldn't even protect one person.
"Thank you." Chen Pei's voice was so low it was almost inaudible, carrying a resigned calm.
"It would be good if she could... pass away peacefully." As he spoke, a drop of water condensed in his hand, and Fu Xiaojian and the others knew what he was about to do.
"Wait, you just said the Awakening Potion could save her? Where did you get that information from?" Fu Xiaojian asked.
"Ordinary people can't resist the calls of those deer, but I think extraordinary people should be able to!" Chen Pei's idea was simple and unreasonable, but it seemed worth a try.
Fu Xiaojian and Jiao Jiao both looked at Xu Si at the same time.
"I have awakening potions, but they're very expensive. You need four strange items to drop them!" Xu Si quoted a price.
A flicker of emotion crossed Chen Pei's overly clear eyes, and the water droplets that had gathered at his fingertips vanished silently.
He looked at Xu Si, then at Tang Jinxiu, who was barely breathing on the bed, and pursed his lips into a straight line.
"I only have three items... I will return the rest." His voice still carried that peculiar quality, but his tone was firm.
"Give me a day, no, half a day..." Chen Pei changed his mind, seemingly afraid that Xu Si would refuse.
Xu Si was a little dumbfounded. So decisive?
This guy is a real expert!
Fu Xiaojian looked at Chen Pei, his admiration evident in his eyes.
Then she looked at Xu Si, whose meaning she was expressing was perfectly clear to Xu Si.
What does the team lack right now? A top-notch driver!
"No need to rush, you can pay for it first!" Xu Si nodded.
The principle of "he who takes a bribe is obligated to him" doesn't need to be taught.
Xu Si took out the Succubus Sequence Awakening Potion that he had just made on the way from the inner pocket of the Concealment Cloak.
Inside the ice crystal, a pale purple liquid swirled with a mesmerizing luster.
The Succubus Sequence Awakening Potion possesses the natural potential to counter mental attacks; this may be her only chance.
Then everyone saw Chen Pei excitedly pull out three items from his body.
This scene completely stunned the little girl.
After the exchange, Chen Pei took the ice crystal test tube, his fingertips trembling slightly as they touched the cool tube wall.
He walked to the bedside, bent down, carefully lifted Jinxiu's upper body, pried open her chapped lips, and slowly poured the medicine into her mouth.
A pale purple liquid slid down the throat.
For the first few seconds, there was no response.
Immediately, a faint, ripple-like pale purple halo appeared beneath Tang Jinxiu's pale skin.
Her brows furrowed unconsciously, and a suppressed, drowning-like gurgling sound came from her throat.
Chen Pei gently put her down, not daring to disturb her in the slightest.
Jiao Jiao couldn't help but release another "Recovery" spell. A milky white halo enveloped Tang Jinxiu's entire body. Although it couldn't directly heal mental damage, it could soothe physical pain.
A few breaths later, a strange flush suddenly appeared on her pale face, and faint purple, vein-like lines under her skin suddenly lit up and then quickly disappeared.
My skin then started to glow, and its condition was almost the same as a little girl's. You know, little girls do several purifying and skincare treatments every day.
Even her dry hair had become smooth, and her already striking face now seemed to have been completely transformed, giving her an alluring and captivating appearance.
"Well……"
An indescribable aura, a mixture of temptation and chaos, quietly emanated from her.
Fu Xiaojian nervously took a half step back.
Jiao Jiao couldn't help but cast another "Recovery" spell, the milky white halo attempting to soothe the restless energy, but with little effect.
Xu Si's crimson star-like eyes narrowed slightly. He could clearly "see" a brand-new sequence of origins, carrying strong mental fluctuations, that was growing and colliding wildly within Tang Jinxiu's body, attempting to fight against the residual power of the "eerie deer cry" that was entangled in her mental realm.
It was an extremely dangerous and delicate balance.
If she succeeds, she will emerge from her cocoon and become a superhuman with the "Succubus" sequence, greatly increasing her mental resistance, and the deer's erosion will naturally disintegrate.
It failed... The backlash from the Sequence Awakening combined with the mental erosion will probably kill her instantly.
Time slipped away second by second in a stifling atmosphere.
Tang Jinxiu's aura became increasingly chaotic, sometimes alluring like a secluded orchid, sometimes as turbulent as a storm.
Her expressions shifted rapidly between pain, confusion, and even an occasional hint of eerie allure.
Sweat soaked her forehead and hair, mixed with a faint, sweet fragrance.
"Brother Dao, is the medicine you gave Sister Jinxiu a legitimate potion?" Not only Jiao Jiao was suspicious, but even Xu Si began to have doubts.
Because this looks too much like the effects of that drug taking hold.
"Mmm..." A long and seductive moan escaped from Tang Jinxiu's mouth.
"Don't listen! Don't listen!" The little girl's face turned red instantly, and Su Su was no less so.
The little girl urged Xu Si and Fu Xiaojian to leave from backstage.
As for Chen Pei, he was too handsome, and Jiao Jiao didn't treat him like an outsider at all.
Just as Xu Si and Fu Xiaojian were being "kicked" out of the backstage area by Jiao Jiao, and their footsteps gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor.
On the bed, Tang Jinxiu's moans suddenly rose in volume, becoming even more seductive!
Xu Si and the other person quickened their pace.
However, his star tracker kept a close eye on what was happening inside.
After all, there's a powerful Sequence 3 inside; better safe than sorry.
The stories of "killing the donkey after it has done its work" and "the farmer and the snake" are all too common in the end times.
