Chapter 188 Determination
"what!"
In the middle of Xiaojiu, Doudou and the Queen's casual chat, Sheila's scream was heard from the inner room behind the screen.
"Sheila, what are you doing? You scared me to death."
Following Pegasus' voice, Xiaojiu and Doudou took the queen slowly past the screen and into the inner room.
At this time, Lingyi was lying on the bed. Baobao ran to the inside of Lingyi's bed, sucking Lingyi's fingers in his mouth, and his big tail was shaking excitedly, looking so happy.
Pegasus rode on Zero One's lower abdomen, lay on Zero One's body, occupied Zero One's chest, and looked at Shera viciously. Shera stood beside the bed, covering her mouth with one hand, looking at Zero One on the bed with an unbelievable look, with her right hand pointing slightly forward.
Following Xuela's fingertips, she could see Lingyi's other hand exposed outside the sheets. Xuela covered her mouth and said vigilantly, "Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi's fingers seemed to move just now."
"What? The master's fingers moved? How come I didn't see it?" Upon hearing the news, Pegasus hurriedly checked Lingyi's arm.
Bao Bao suddenly spit out the finger she was sucking on and said with a smile: "Ah? The one I was sucking on?"
"...That's enough of you, bag." Pegasus and Shera complained in unison.
The Queen couldn't wait to walk forward to Lingyi's bed, followed by Xiaojiu and Doudou. The Queen came to Shera and asked, "Really? Xiaoyi really moved?"
Doudou questioned, "Is it hallucination? I heard Sister Xuela say that Xiaoyi's fingers moved a few days ago, but we watched for a long time and didn't see anything."
"But Xiaoyi's hand really moved just now." Xuela affirmed with certainty.
Doudou wanted to say something to refute Xuela, but Xiaojiu put his hand on Doudou's shoulder and said, "If it's an illusion, it only means that we are always thinking about Lingyi's awakening, which is a good thing. If it's not an illusion, it's even better."
But at this moment, Lingyi's fingers flicked again, instantly arousing the hearts of everyone present. This time, not only Xuela saw it, but everyone saw that Lingyi's hand had become conscious.
"Xiao, Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi..." The queen was anxious but also worried. He finally woke up after a month. Any old friend would be excited, not to mention that Lingyi was her old friend's child. She treated him like her fourth child.
But she was naturally worried, because Lingyi had been in a coma for a month and was naturally weak. The Queen was also afraid that she would get excited and wake Lingyi up, which would then turn into a situation where "surprise turned into shock."
"Hmm..." A sound suddenly came out of Lingyi's lips.
This instantly caused Pegasus and Bao Bao to scream, but at the moment the two girls screamed, Xiaojiu and Doudou took action and immediately covered their mouths.
"Hush, be quiet, so as not to scare Xiaoyi." Xiaojiu scolded Pegasus who was covering his mouth in his arms. His sharp eyes swept across his side and fell on Baobao's face which was covered by Doudou. Baobao nodded repeatedly and did not dare to say anything more.
"Hmm... so bright, where is this place..." Lingyi's lips moved, and he was finally able to utter a few words, "My body is so heavy... what is that thing." As he spoke, he slowly opened his eyes, and the moment he opened his eyes, he saw the girls surrounding him, guarding him.
Finally, when everyone saw Lingyi's eyes open, their hearts finally settled down. Tears burst out like a rolling stone breaking through a dam. Xiaojiu covered her face and sobbed, repeatedly confirming whether Lingyi was really awake: "Xiao, Xiaoyi..."
"I'm here, I'm here, what's wrong with you?" Lingyi seemed a little tired, but he still tried his best to force a smile, looking at Xiaojiu curiously, and wanted to ask Xiaojiu what happened that made Xiaojiu cry so bitterly, but somehow, his body didn't even have the strength to say the next sentence.
"Xiaoyi is awake!" Xuela screamed loudly in surprise.
"Master!" Pegasus shouted and was the first to jump into Zero One's arms.
"Xiaoyi!" All the other girls, except the queen, threw themselves on Lingyi's bed at the same time, each hugging a part of Lingyi's body and sobbing loudly.
However, the scene of this reunion made Lingyi unable to adapt for a while. Perhaps it was because of the long period of sleep that his physical strength declined. In addition, the girls pressed on him at the same time, and he suddenly felt suffocated from top to bottom: "Hey, wait, wait! Ah, it's heavy..."
"Xiao Yi!!!" Everyone screamed hysterically, as if they wanted to shout out all the fears they had endured for the past month in one go.
……
After a long time, the sobbing gradually subsided. But no matter what Pegasus and Bao Bao said, they refused to let go of Lingyi's hands, and sat on Lingyi's bed, one on each side.
After a month of deep sleep, Lingyi's body functions dropped several levels in an instant. Even now that he was awake, he still didn't have the strength to get out of bed. With the help of Pegasus and Bao Bao, he sat on the bed, placed the pillow upright behind his waist, and leaned on it.
Xiaojiu, Xuela and Doudou stood by the bed, making room for the Queen to sit down. The three of them had a slightly flushed face. This was the first time they lost their composure in front of outsiders, showing their dependence on Lingyi. Like children admitting their mistake, they stood in a row, lowered their heads, and did not dare to look at the Queen.
But the Queen did not intend to blame them. On the contrary, seeing how worried they were about Lingyi, she kept a smile on her face and looked at everyone with relief.
"I, have been sleeping for how long." Lingyi felt as if he had just had a dream, but judging from everyone's reactions, it seemed as if he had slept for a very long time. In addition, his body felt unusually weak, as if he hadn't exercised or moved for a long time, and he was sore.
"Master, you have been sleeping for a month! Do you know how worried we are?" Pegasus looked at Lingyi with a reproachful look, like a child complaining to an adult.
After hearing this answer, Lingyi was shocked at first, but then he calmed down: "Really? It's been a month. No wonder I feel weak all over now. Could it be that I was too exhausted from fighting the demons?"
"Now, your legend is spreading all over the imperial city." The queen said, pretending to be angry and stretched out her index finger, tapping Lingyi's forehead heavily, "You bad boy, you actually slept peacefully for so long, do you know how worried we are?"
"That's right!" As soon as the queen finished speaking, all the women suddenly protested in unison.
Lingyi could only smile and say, "Oh, I was wrong, I didn't expect that I would pass out after using the "Time Wheel". Even Long'er's magic power was drained at that time. By the way, Long'er, how are you now?"
"Long'er?" The queen asked in confusion when she heard Lingyi utter an unfamiliar name.
The left cheek of Zero One was immediately covered with a layer of snow-white mist, and a few scales slowly appeared on the left cheek and chin of Zero One. The pupil of his left eye turned from black to blue, and the shadow of a deer antler slowly emerged on his forehead.
"I feel much more comfortable. Fortunately, I'm inside Xiaoyi's body, so my recovery can be twice as efficient. Otherwise, I don't know if I can wake up." A female voice suddenly came out of Lingyi's mouth, causing the queen to widen her eyes.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Will I make it impossible for you to wake up?" Lingyi's voice returned to its original state, and he retorted to Long'er in an angry tone.
"Hehehe, that's right, I know Xiaoyi is the best." Lingyi's voice turned back into a female's, and he smiled optimistically and cheerfully.
Seeing this scene, all the girls were used to it, but the queen covered her mouth in shock and asked, "Xiaoyi, your voice..."
"Hmm? Oh, I, uh..." Lingyi then remembered that the Queen was still unclear about Long Er's current situation. He wanted to explain but didn't know how. He wanted to clear up the Queen's misunderstanding, but was worried that the royal family would covet his power as a dragon orphan.
But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with any words to explain it, so he shook his head helplessly.
Then he looked at the queen with a firm but pale face and said, "Your Majesty, her existence is my secret. I don't want more people to know about her."
The queen stared at Lingyi in a daze. At this moment, Lingyi's face was pale, his limbs were weak, and he didn't even have the strength to move. He could only lean on the pillow and sit on the bed, but he still relied on Pegasus and Baobao for support.
In such a fragile state, why are his eyes so bright, as if he will move forward even if there are countless difficulties and hardships ahead, and will keep moving forward even if each step is extremely heavy and full of mud. He has the determination to achieve his goal even if he is crushed to pieces.
Those eyes were as sharp as an eagle and as majestic as a dragon. They were a pair of eyes that had been tempered by thousands of hammers and chisels and were reborn from the ashes.
Just by exchanging a glance with Lingyi, the queen seemed to see a huge mountain standing in front of her. She could feel the person on the top of the mountain staring at her, examining her, and warning her with his eyes not to take another step forward.
But when I looked up from the foot of the mountain, I could not see the eyes at the top of the mountain, and I couldn't even catch a glimpse of a human figure.
"Okay." The Queen was so glared at by Lingyi that she dared not utter a single "no". Her brain was unable to react to the current situation and she could only nod and agree to Lingyi involuntarily.
After getting the Queen's approval, Lingyi suddenly closed his eyes. The mountain-like pressure disappeared in an instant, and it turned into a quiet lake in an instant, without any ripples.
In the middle of the lake, Lingyi stood there quietly, looking at him with a smile. His approachable feeling was almost the same as that of his childhood playmate.
When he came to his senses, Lingyi had already fallen on the pillow behind him, gasping for breath. The girls noticed something was wrong with Lingyi again and moved forward, surrounding his bed.
"Xiaoyi, what's wrong with you? Did you just wake up and haven't adapted yet?" Xiaojiu asked panicked.
"Master, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly so exhausted?" Pegasus' eyes were moist. She was afraid that after a month of waiting, her master would finally wake up. What would she do if something happened at this time?
Zero One stretched out his hand tiredly and gently placed it on Pegasus' head, stroking it back and forth slowly, comforting Pegasus' emotions: "I'm fine, my body just woke up and it just took a while to adapt." Zero One slowly opened his eyes and tried his best to force a smile, wanting everyone not to worry, but almost everyone could sense the heavy pressure and fatigue like a mountain on Zero One.
Everyone wanted to let Lingyi rest, but no one dared to ask.
A few drops of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. Lingyi forced himself to hold on, slowly moved away from the pillow, looked at the queen worriedly and said, "Queen, a month has passed. How is the Holy Land? How is the emperor's condition?"
The queen looked at the exhausted and sweaty Lingyi and smiled, "Don't worry, the emperor is in good health, otherwise I would never have time to come and see you. You look so tired, why don't you lie down and take a rest first."
"You're lying." Lingyi said the two words without hesitation. "Before, when I pointed out the disease to the emperor, the emperor was already terminally ill. If it weren't for the healing barrier I opened with the Saint's Seal, the emperor's life would have been taken in just seven days. But even after I used it, it could only delay the disease, and at most it could only last for more than a month. Now that a month has passed, the disease in the emperor's body can no longer be suppressed. How can he get better!"
Lingyi was sweating profusely and gasping for breath. He expressed all his concerns in one breath, but his current body did not allow him to get so angry. Fortunately, he supported his upper body with both hands so that he would not fall on the bed instantly.
