"oops."
They both let out a soft cry at the same time.
How can they walk one after the other...? Natsuki stepped on Erii's clothes and shoes.
"Next time, I'll be more careful, stepping outwards with both feet."
Natsuki quite liked this way of carrying Erii from behind. He could hold her slender, soft waist with both hands, rest his chin on her delicate shoulders and neck, be close to her body, and smell the faint fragrance from her earlobe.
Erii leaned against him, and she loved this position even more. Being held by him made her feel protected as she moved forward. She didn't need to be afraid of anything, and her whole body felt warm and soft.
Although the second attempt was still bumpy and prone to missteps, it was undoubtedly much better than the first time.
The two walked together like conjoined twins, attracting countless stares.
We finally arrived at the infirmary building.
Natsuki reluctantly withdrew his hand from Erii's smooth abdomen, told her to put away the umbrella, and then skillfully took her small hand, interlocking their fingers and pressing their palms together.
Once men and women have entered into an intimate relationship, they can never go back to the innocent days of the past.
Dongdong knocked on the door of the second-floor ward.
"Please...come in."
The girl's soft voice came out; she seemed to be deliberately lowering her voice.
Xia Mu paused, turned around, and put a finger to his lips to shush.
Erii nodded.
The two gently opened the door, went inside, and then gently closed it again.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the headboard, bathing it in a warm golden light.
Chu Zihang lay on the headboard, covered with a thin blanket, and the noise did not wake him.
"Thank you for coming to see me. He was exhausted last night and didn't rest today, so please don't disturb him," Susie said softly. "Um... if it's convenient, could you tell me who you are?"
Xia Mu was stunned. When she looked at her eyes more closely, she realized that they were unfocused.
She hadn't woken up for the past few days, but judging from what she said, she probably woke up last night, but her eyes...
"Xia Mu, Xia Liyi."
Xia Mu spoke softly, then asked with some concern, "Your eyes..."
“Hmm, I can’t see…” A fleeting look of sadness crossed Susie’s face: “The doctor said it was caused by overexertion.”
"If the strength is restored, will the eyes also be restored?" Xia Mu asked.
Susie was silent for a moment: "The doctor said it's highly unlikely that it will work. The excessive burning of the Golden Boy's eyes has caused irreversible damage."
Xia Mu let out a sigh, her heart heavy.
Surely not? Is this girl's fate sealed with a knife?
"Xia Mu, could you please help me hire a caregiver?" Susie suddenly said.
Xia Mu glanced at Chu Zihang, but decided against playing matchmaker, nodding, "Okay, wait a moment..."
"Need not."
At this moment, Chu Zihang suddenly rubbed his eyes and looked up, his sleepy eyes quickly clearing.
“I’ll take care of you,” he said softly.
Susie felt a mix of sweetness and bitterness in her heart, and shook her head: "It's inconvenient, like last night... there are many things that are inconvenient."
Chu Zihang grabbed her wrist and squeezed it: "Leave it to me, I can do it. I can help you even with my eyes closed."
"No need, the caregiver is more professional than you, besides..."
Susie paused, turned her face away, and whispered, "Who are you to me..."
Chu Zihang's heart skipped a beat. His hand, which had been gripping her wrist, slid down and grasped her palm: "You said... you liked me."
Xia Mu scratched his head... How can you talk like that?
A blush rose on Susie's face, but she pulled her hand away from his: "It's my business that I like you, but that doesn't mean I can let you take care of me like that without any reservations."
"But you saved me!" Chu Zihang blurted out anxiously, "You became like this because you saved me!"
Xia Mu holds his forehead...it's over.
Sure enough, Susie's face immediately turned pale, and she kept her head down, not saying a word for a long time.
"I'll go get a caregiver," Xia Mu broke the silence.
Don't go!
Chu Zihang turned to look at him, his expression unwavering: "I will take care of her."
Xia Mutou was in pain, so he grabbed his shoulders and dragged him outside.
"Senior brother, you can't do this!"
Chu Zihang frowned: "What's wrong?"
"Eri, you should go back now."
Xia Mu waved his hand, then went to find a caregiver for Su Xi, before leaving with his arm around Chu Zihang's shoulder.
"Come on, let's have a fight first, then you can have a break."
The two entered the practice room.
Chu Zihang remained silent and quietly pulled out the Village Rain.
Xia Mu was right; he was indeed feeling angry and upset.
He was the kind of person who least wanted to burden others, yet he caused a girl to lose her sight because of him, something he simply couldn't accept.
"Watch out, my new weapon... is very special."
The Thousand Chance Umbrella, in the form of a spear, thrust forward and struck Murasame with a clang.
Chu Zihang held his sword horizontally, and a tingling sensation ran through his palm.
"What a heavy gun!"
This weapon was forged from the last three of the Seven Deadly Sins, so it is naturally very heavy. If Xia Mu's physique hadn't been constantly evolving, he wouldn't be able to wield it now.
"It's not just guns."
Chu Zihang easily found an opening, slid halfway around, and thrust at Xia Mu's lower back.
But with a bang, a huge umbrella blocked his way, clanging and clattering, and he couldn't break through at all.
Chu Zihang almost burst into a tirade.
What is this thing?!
Chapter 178 Chu Zihang and Su Qian
Principal's Office.
“What are you doing?” Angers frowned.
The night watchman, or rather the vice principal, sat opposite him, combing his hair in front of the mirror with a small comb.
"Let me see if my appearance is suitable for being a principal. Should I change my hairstyle?" the old cowboy chuckled.
Angers slammed his fist on the table: "I haven't stepped down yet!"
"It's only a matter of time. Won't the board of directors investigate Xia Mu's identity and use that as grounds to impeach you for dereliction of duty?"
The old cowboy carefully put away his comb, propped his feet up on Angers' expensive coffee table, and excitedly said, "Soon, this whole place will be mine! Hehe, first a beauty pageant, then a bikini party, a beach dance competition, pool aerobics..."
Angers remained expressionless, as if he wanted to smash the teacup on Angers' head.
"I was mistaken before, thinking they really came for the 'Seven Deadly Sins,' I underestimated them..."
Ignoring the Night Watchman's intermittent bouts of neurosis, he took a sip of tea and said, "'The Seven Deadly Sins' was just a test, and the test against Xia Mu was also a test. Their target was me all along. In this principal's position, there are many things they can't control, and many interests they can't hold onto. I'm in their way now."
"You old codger have turned Kassel College into a one-man show, the board of directors can't even get involved, it's no wonder people hate you." The Night Watchman chuckled.
Angers ignored him and continued, "This is the first time in the history of hybrids that a dragon king has been truly annihilated. This is a glimmer of hope, but also the beginning of division. In the past, everyone was passively fighting against the dragons, and there was no possibility of an end. But now there is hope for success."
"So they're starting to speculate about what will happen after the dragons are wiped out? Some hybrids want to become the new world rulers?" The Night Watchman's expression turned serious.
“That’s right, and Kassel College is currently in the eye of the storm.” Angers looked out the window, a hint of irritation flashing in his deep eyes.
Small Bookstore
Ultimately, all he wanted was to slay the dragon and destroy the entire dragon race. He didn't care who would rule the world or who would be the king of the world in the future.
But now the differences between the hybrids are affecting his dragon-slaying career.
This is a common human failing: starting to divide up the spoils of victory before achieving complete success.
"Because... the Dragonbone Cross?" The Night's Watchman does act like a human being when he's serious.
Angsel nodded: "In the end, what they want is the Dragon Bone Cross left by Constantine, and the weapon to slay the Dragon King. I've become the old guy who's in the way."
“Hybrids are still human, and humans can’t escape these things.” The Night Watchman shook his head.
"Are you really not suspicious about Xia Mu's condition?" he suddenly asked. "To be able to extract all seven deadly sins, what a high proportion of dragon blood he must have. He really can't exceed the critical blood limit. This is something we can't ignore."
Angers paused for a moment: "He's a good boy."
He said nothing, yet it was as if he had said everything.
"Bang bang bang..."
In the practice room, Xia Mu chased after Chu Zihang with twin swords, then switched to using a staff to smash Chu Zihang, and then to a greatsword, katana, scythe, and spear. Each attack method was completely different, leaving Chu Zihang, who was encountering this thing for the first time, struggling to defend himself.
The most disgusting thing is that if he retaliates, the weapon will turn into an umbrella, providing impenetrable protection, and the tip of the umbrella will even stick out and poke people...
"stop!"
After fighting for an hour, Chu Zihang finally raised his hand to call a stop, his chest heaving slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Mu retrieved the Thousand Chance Umbrella and draped it over his shoulder, his expression normal, and he seemed to have better stamina than Chu Zihang.
