Starting by picking up a female fan, he swept through the martial arts world.

Chapter 159 Miss Bai, you can cultivate on your own tonight. My brother will stay at my place.

"Squeak—"

The door to the sanatorium was pushed open.

When the nurse on duty saw a stranger enter, she instinctively wanted to step forward and stop him.

However, seeing Liu Xiu give her a wink, she immediately abandoned the idea of ​​stopping him, gave Jiang Lang some instructions, and then left the space to Jiang Lang.

Jiang Lang looked at Gu Manzhi on the hospital bed with a somewhat solemn expression.

There were two nurses in the ward just now, both trained internally by Xinghuo. One cultivated the Willow Constellation, and the other cultivated the Female Constellation.

The former governs the body, the latter governs the mind.

They said that Gu Manzhi's physical condition is fine, but her soul has been showing signs of dissipation. She almost collapsed last night, and although she has recovered to above the safety level, her condition could worsen at any time.

This is very difficult to handle.

Jiang Lang now has a certain understanding of the honeycomb. The honeycomb mark is like a soul crystal core. As long as it exists deep in the host's soul, it can continuously accumulate spiritual power, which is of great benefit to the host's soul cultivation.

But it will gradually become the main body of the soul, and unless it shatters the mark, it will be basically unable to defy the will of the hive.

Once the mark is broken, there are only two consequences.

Either you have to be like Dou Yunqi, whose spirit is strong enough to rebuild itself after losing the mark.

Either die —

Although Gu Manzhi received a lot of royal jelly, she could not redeem it until the marriage flight was successful, and all this nourishment went directly into her mark.

Now that the mark has cracked, whether it breaks or not is entirely up to the queen bee.

It's like she, an ordinary person, suddenly had half of her soul torn apart out of thin air; the situation is already extremely serious.

Jiang Lang could sense the impending doom just by standing there.

It's like a person standing on a decaying wooden bridge.

It stands very steadily.

But no one can guarantee when the bridge will break.

Gu Manzhi slept peacefully, with a small speaker playing a recording next to her.

"Manzhi, take good care of yourself. I'll come to see you whenever I have free time."

"Manzhi, take good care of yourself. I'll come to see you whenever I have free time."

These were the words I said to myself before I left last night.

So—was it this that calmed her down?

A strange feeling welled up in Jiang Lang's heart. He sat by the hospital bed and quietly looked at Gu Manzhi's face.

Everything that happened last night keeps replaying in my mind.

Her pain.

Her struggle.

Her sacrifice.

Her body.

Jiang Lang had considered what kind of feelings he had for Gu Manzhi.

He felt he had some feelings for her.

But it's not romantic love between a man and a woman.

He considers himself a vulgar person, so he secretly enjoys the adoration from his fans and feels a little smug about it.

He is a normal man who will have physiological reactions to intimate contact with attractive women, such as blushing, palpitations, or other sensations.

He had all of these qualities when he was with Gu Manzhi.

But he never felt that he had any connection with her, and he felt from the bottom of his heart that there shouldn't be such a connection, as he had important things to do.

He didn't deliberately avoid matters of the heart, but just like browsing websites, it shouldn't be a reason to interfere with important matters.

Can----

That's how animals are.

Psychological connections are formed along with physical connections.

His attitude towards Gu Manzhi changed the moment he chose to continue the relationship while he was in a sober state.

Feelings of pity, tenderness, and protectiveness arise naturally and take deep root in one's heart.

The kind of deep that you can't pull out of.

"Why----"

Jiang Lang sighed softly, remaining silent as he quietly watched her sleeping face.

I wonder if it's because of what happened last night that I'm seeing things through a different lens.

He seemed to suddenly realize how beautiful Gu Manzhi was.

Unprecedented sexiness.

She was more endearing than ever before.

"elder brother----"

Gu Manzhi seemed to sense something; her long eyelashes trembled twice, and she slowly opened her eyes.

She stared at Jiang Lang in confusion for a moment, then, making sure she wasn't dreaming, her eyes lit up: "Brother!"

With the word "brother," Jiang Lang felt her soul rapidly heal itself, quickly returning to the level it was at before he left the previous night.

No?

He was stunned for a moment.

Can this be done?

If his mental strength hadn't been so great that he was certain she was asleep, he would have thought she was acting.

"Brother, you've come!"

Gu Manzhi struggled to sit up.

Jiang Lang quickly pressed her down, saying, "Don't get up, you're not feeling well."

What's wrong with my health?

Despite saying that, Gu Manzhi obediently lay down.

Her hands were quite restless; she pulled Jiang Lang's hand over, kissed the back of it, and then happily hugged it to her chest.

Jiang Lang: "!"

He coughed lightly, feigning composure: "How are you feeling now?"

Gu Manzhi smiled, "I'm fine."

"You were so sick last night, how come you're doing so well?"

"My heartache disappeared when my brother came."

"All right----"

Jiang Lang felt that if outsiders heard this, they would definitely find it very annoying.

But for some reason, he didn't find it tedious.

It's just that I'm finding it a bit overwhelming.

But she couldn't bear to pull her hand away.

So he just let her hold him.

He just discussed it with Liu Xiu, and now the queen bee probably won't be willing to easily give up the potential queen bee she has been cultivating for many years, so she probably won't kill her in the short term.

If we can use this time to help her rebuild her soul and break the seal, there is hope for her recovery.

only----

It is very risky because the technology of soul replacement is not mature and there are many variables during the treatment process.

Moreover, the situation was urgent, and a blitzkrieg was necessary to get things done before the queen bee could react.

This discussion result cannot be told to Gu Manzhi.

Because the queen bee's mark is likely monitoring her, we cannot expose the plan, or even let her know where we are.

I can only stay in a closed environment for rest and recuperation. I should spend as much time with him as possible during this period.

It's tricky.

"elder brother."

"Um?"

Why do you seem so reserved today?

"Is there?"

"have!"

Gu Manzhi pursed her red lips and glanced at her chest: "I've already put your hand here, why aren't you moving?"

"6

""

Are you afraid that I'll ask you to take responsibility for me?

"I----"

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

Gu Manzhi chuckled softly, "I know things have developed to this point largely because of the sense of responsibility you feel. I've never dared to hope for a future, but I have a small wish. Could you grant it to me?"

"you say."

"In this hospital room, can you treat me like your girlfriend? Just in this room! Once we're outside, you don't have to think about me anymore."

"!"

Jiang Lang was really struggling to cope; he had no idea how he could refuse her request.

Forget it.

They're not going to fight back.

"sure!"

"So you're this reserved with your girlfriend?"

"So how can I feel less restricted?"

"I have a solution, come here."

'

Jiang Lang had just gotten a little closer when Gu Manzhi cupped his face in her hands.

Under her guidance, the distance between the two people's noses gradually shortened until it was less than a centimeter away.

"Knock knock!"

"Knock knock!"

"Knock knock!"

Jiang Lang could hear his own heartbeat.

Whether it was due to her constitution or the high level of treatment Liu Xiu provided, Gu Manzhi's breath had no odor whatsoever, and even carried a faint fragrance.

Her full, red lips were just around her mouth, outlining a forbidden curve.

Perhaps last night's experience had already broken down their defenses.

Jiang Lang kissed her.

Very sweet.

Very enthusiastic.

Both of them were a little awkward in their movements, but they were completely absorbed in their work.

The kiss made my heart pound like a drum, and my face flushed like a peach blossom.

Their rapid breaths mingled as they kissed, and it took them a long time to finally separate.

"Brother, I, we—let's continue!"

"But your body—"

"So you don't want to continue, but you're just worried about my health?"

Gu Manzhi grasped the crux of the problem, and also Jiang Lang's key point.

Jiang Lang was caught in a dilemma and could only nod, "Yes!"

"Then I'll have the nurse check it up."

Gu Manzhi immediately smiled: "If the nurse says something about my health, you can't make up any other excuses."

Jiang Lang: "—"

Gu Manzhi pressed the call button.

Two nurses arrived shortly afterward.

After the examination, the female dormitory nurse exclaimed in surprise, "That's truly amazing! How could your soul state improve so much in such a short time?"

Gu Manzhi turned to another nurse and asked, "What about my body?"

Nurse Liu smiled and said, "Your body only suffered some bruises, it's all fine now, the main problem is with your soul."

Gu Manzhi then looked at the female dormitory nurse: "Can I have a marital relationship?"

"what?"

"ah?

'

"ah?

"

The three of them were stunned for a moment.

The two nurses both looked at Jiang Lang, their faces filled with strange expressions.

Especially Nurse Liu Su.

She now knew where Gu Manzhi's injuries came from.

Jiang Lang just wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground.

My sisters must think I'm some kind of pervert who wants to sleep with seriously ill patients!

Worth.

numb!

Gu Manzhi pressed on, "Can't it?"

The female dormitory nurse hesitated before saying, "This shouldn't have any impact. In fact, your treatment plan already requires dopamine therapy as an adjunct, so it might even be beneficial."

Gu Manzhi smiled gently: "Thank you."

Nurse Liu couldn't help but add, "You haven't eaten in a long time, you need to replenish your energy."

I'm not hungry yet.

Gu Manzhi glanced at Jiang Lang, pondered for a moment, and said, "I'll eat in an hour and a half."

Three people:

Is the calculation that precise?

Just as Jiang Lang was about to bang his head against the wall.

Another nurse pushed the door open and came in: "Mr. Jiang, someone is looking for you."

He handed over a cell phone.

Jiang Lang composed himself. Liu Xiu's location was highly confidential; to avoid revealing their position, all signals were blocked.

For a phone call to come in, it has to go through many intermediaries.

Bai Zhaoli is probably the only one who can find herself through Liu Xiu.

Jiang Lang took the phone, wanting to find a quieter place to answer it, but Gu Manzhi held his forearm tightly.

Having no other option, he could only ask directly, "Feed?"

Bai Zhaoli spoke in a relaxed tone, seemingly in a good mood: "Coach, I'm going to use a better training ground today, so I might need to arrive a little earlier. When are you free?"

"I----"

Jiang Lang felt his forearm tighten. He turned his head and looked at her, meeting Gu Manzhi's tearful eyes.

He gripped his phone tighter, then glanced at the densely packed treatment records beside him.

He took several deep breaths and replied in as normal a tone as possible, "I have something important to do these days, so I might be a little tied up. Um—let's postpone the training for a few days."

,

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

For a long, long time.

Bai Zhaoli's feignedly relaxed voice rang out again: "That's good, I can finally rest for a few days, you go ahead and do your work!"

"Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep————"
