Chapter 17 What to do when beautiful girls keep appearing outside at midnight? [Please read on! Please vote!]

As dusk fell, the man who had deciphered the secrets of the runes returned to the Xuanhu Medical Clinic with a silly grin on his face.

Snapped!

A woman countless times more terrifying than the man who had deciphered the mysteries of runes slapped the former awake, exclaiming in surprise, "What are you grinning about?! Are you out of your mind?"

Chen Hong immediately stopped smiling, touched the bump on his head, and returned to normal, his eyes shining with excitement, saying, "I'm going to sleep! Tomorrow I still need to unravel the mysteries of runes."

With that, Chen Hong walked upstairs without looking back, leaving Ning Lu and Ye Lingling stunned in their eyes, and went to his bedroom to turn off the lights and go to sleep.

Ning Lu and Ye Lingling looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

Finally, Ye Lingling whispered, "Is it Brother Hong?" Ye Lingling pointed to her head.

Ning Lu was immediately shocked: "Has your brain been fried?!"

"Uh," Ye Lingling was taken aback, and quickly pulled Ning Lu, who was about to get up to chase after her son, and said helplessly, "I mean, Brother Hong may have used his brain too much and now wants to rest more."

After speaking, Ye Lingling's face suddenly flushed slightly, and she whispered in Ning Lu's ear in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Brother Hong's meridians still have some minor damage. My cultivation level isn't high enough, so it wasn't fully healed last time. He still needs further treatment."

Actually, Ye Lingling didn't need to be in such a predicament. The main problem was that Chen Hong, once he got into a good mood, would get up and run off at the crack of dawn and then not return until late at night. Ye Lingling couldn't find him to treat her injuries during the day.

Although Ye Lingling's voice was very soft, Ning Lu was still a level 49 Soul Master, so she could clearly hear Ye Lingling's soft whispers. She immediately smiled, took the cute little girl's hand, and said gently and kindly, "Go on, go on! Please take care of Ah Hong in Lingling's care. If he dares to bully you, just call me and I'll go and teach him a lesson."

Um... Ye Lingling's mind immediately flashed back to the boy who was tied up like a dumpling last night, who, with his incredible willpower, wrote a diary praising his mother. This morning, after Ning Lu saw that diary, Ye Lingling saw that Aunt Ning Lu, this strong woman, was actually secretly wiping away tears. She was clearly so moved, but when she encountered Chen Hong, she still beat him without hesitation.

However, Ye Lingling felt that, based on the impression Chen Hong gave her, he probably wouldn't dare to bully her.

Indeed, a young girl's intuition is always so sharp. Chen Hong really doesn't dare to provoke Ye Lingling now, especially after he found that his "diary offensive" had not had the desired effect. He realized that he was already deeply involved in a certain territory.

[Ning Lu's Mother-in-Law's View of Her Daughter-in-Law: Any action that could potentially harm the designated target 'Ye Lingling' will cause Ning Lu's anger to rise significantly. During this period, it will greatly reduce Chen Hong's attempts to awaken maternal love and increase her special attacks against Chen Hong.]

Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying! Extremely terrifying!

When Ye Lingling blushed and quietly pushed open the wooden door of Chen Hong's bedroom a crack again, she saw that Chen Hong was not asleep. Not only was he not asleep, but his eyes were wide open. He was lying on the floor in bed, holding a bright yellow soul ring in his hands and staring intently at it!

"Ah Hong, what are you doing, Brother Hong?" The little girl was slightly startled and hid behind the crack in the door, looking at Chen Hong's strange behavior.

"Huh?" Chen Hong, who was highly focused, was taken aback by the words. He turned around and found that there was another pretty girl outside his bedroom. He said helplessly, "Your brother Hong is currently comprehending the mysteries of spirit rings!"

What's going on? There are always cute and gentle girl photos popping up outside my bedroom late at night. What should I do? Help! Urgent!

"Ah," Ye Lingling's small mouth opened slightly, her cute little face full of question marks, "Spirit rings... what other mysteries can they reveal?"

"Sigh," Chen Hong sighed inwardly, looking at the purple-eyed girl hiding outside the door, hesitant to enter or leave. He quickly realized this was definitely a task assigned by his mother, so he said to the girl, whose cute head was only peeking out from behind the door, "Come in, let's explore the mysteries of spirit rings together!"

For some reason, when Chen Hong said those words, he felt incredibly evil.

The naive girl was tricked into the house, and then, blushing, she lay down next to Chen Hong.

Although he felt he might be tempting a young girl, Chen Hong considered himself an extremely upright person with impeccable morals. Of course, compared to his noble character suddenly crumbling, he was more afraid of a female tyrannosaurus rex emerging from outside the wall.

Chen Hong has always had a very high moral standard, because Ning Lu, who embodies the benevolence of a doctor (to the outside world), is his moral standard.

"Spirit rings contain our spirit skills. We spirit masters use our spirit power to infuse the spirit rings, and then the spirit rings can activate the corresponding spirit skills."

Chen Hong was explaining to Ye Lingling in a very serious manner how he comprehended the mysteries of spirit rings. He even asked Ye Lingling to raise her hand, just like him, to hold her spirit ring and patiently feel the flow of spirit power within it.

"When we slowly use our soul skills, do you feel the flow of soul power?"

"Shh, don't speak, listen. The sound of soul power flowing. The soul power flowing in the soul rings sounds like the wind rustling the leaves. Fish seem to be splashing in the stream. Hmm. It sounds like... no, there are three people, like a family."

"There seems to be a female Tyrannosaurus Rex inside. Wait, the more I look at that person, the more she looks like my mom. Isn't this the scene where I obtained my spirit ring?"

Startled awake from his meditative state, Chen Hong broke out in a cold sweat and quickly whispered to Ye Lingling beside him, "Please don't tell on me! She's immune to my emotional appeals lately. If she finds out, I'm in big trouble!"

Hmm? Chen Hong turned his head slightly and saw the girl's bright face under the moonlight outside the window. Above her long eyelashes were delicate and cute willow-leaf eyebrows. Her small, pert nose cast a shadow under the moonlight, obscuring half of her face and giving her an unreal, ethereal, and sacred feeling. Her slightly open mouth, as she was asleep, added a touch of naivety to her appearance.

Chen Hong's gaze froze slightly, and a clean smile slowly appeared in his deep black eyes.

Chen Hong used to think that the most important person in the world was his mother, but now he finds that, without realizing it, the people who have entered his life are no longer just his mother.

"But you foolish girl, that final treatment will probably result in another girl appearing outside tomorrow night."

Chen Hong turned to look at Ye Lingling's cute little face, a faint smile involuntarily appearing on his lips, before falling into a deep sleep.

The next morning, as the spring sunlight crept through the window and touched the girl's eyelashes, her hazy, pale purple eyes looked at the empty room, and she covered her face in embarrassment and annoyance:

"I...how did I fall asleep!"
