Chapter 123 Since We're Here
"Brother, there's something I've been given the chance to do. If I miss it, I'll regret it, but if I do it, I might be weak for a while. What do you think, should I do it or not?"
At the end of summer, Xia simply left the choice to his older brother.
When Brother Xia heard that Xia Mo was weak, he wanted to shake his head, but when he met Xia Mo's bright, eager, and excited eyes, he hesitated.
My little sister likes...
"How long is 'weak for a while'? Will I get sick?" Brother Xia decided to ask what "weak for a while" meant first.
"It's like my body has been drained of energy, and I need to sleep to replenish it," Xia Mo said.
Are there any long-term effects?
"No," Xia Mo smiled. She understood; her older brother was worried about her!
"Then let's do it," Brother Xia said encouragingly, looking at Xia Mo.
Xia Mo said, "Let's find an inn to stay in temporarily."
Brother Xia nodded.
For convenience, I found an inn on this street and settled in.
In the inn, in the single room of the "Heaven" tier—
Previously, they had always lived in cheap shared rooms. It was only when they first stayed in a single room that they realized that the single room also had a small cubicle for entertaining guests.
Xia Mo lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.
Brother Xia helped cover her with the blanket and moved to the small private room for entertaining guests, looking towards Xia Mo with some concern.
"Big brother, why don't you read the book first?" Xia Mo said, then closed her eyes impatiently and extended her divine sense.
She gathered all the divine sense she could use and, with a clear purpose, crossed the bustling street, passed the noisy pharmacy at the end of the street, entered the small courtyard where no one else was allowed, and headed towards the small hall where Lin Chengzhi was.
Chen Xin never expected that the crowd would turn into a disturbance at his clinic. He glanced anxiously at Lin Chengzhi, who was still rolling on the ground, and decided to run to the front to deal with the situation.
As Chen Xin passed through the spiritual power that surged into the small hall at the end of summer, he felt a chill for no reason and shivered. He paused and looked back at Lin Chengzhi. In that glance, he felt that something had happened, but at this moment, there was still a commotion in front of his clinic, and he couldn't care less about that!
Xia Mo channeled all the divine power she could muster into Lin Chengzhi's brain, weaving it into a protective shield that enveloped the fake spider, which was smaller than a speck of dust.
The live stream screen in front of Lin Chengzhi trembled violently, and a system warning popped up: System error, no signal...
After a short while, as summer faded and the live streaming system was enveloped, the screen in front of Lin Chengzhi flickered a few times and disappeared as if it had been turned off.
Xia Mo's consciousness burrowed into the fake spider and into the ultra-miniature chip, as if there was another world inside. She made her consciousness imitate the data inside, transforming it into symbols like abcd that she couldn't understand.
But she was really unfamiliar with this. Even though she had already transformed her divine sense to match those symbols, the fake spider was still issuing warnings that a virus had invaded.
She stared at the changing characters for a long time, but couldn't understand them at all. However, she could sense the danger.
After realizing that it could not escape the danger, the fake spider's program fluctuated rapidly, preparing to initiate a self-destruct sequence.
Having no other choice, Xia Mo could only withdraw his divine sense from the fake spider's data stream, leave a trace of his divine sense imprint on the fake spider's body, and then withdraw it from Lin Chengzhi's body.
Shortly after her consciousness withdrew, the fake spider's self-destruction ceased, and it reported: "Data error, initiating self-censorship and self-repair."
Xia Mo reluctantly withdrew her divine sense.
The divine imprint she left behind was different from the fine threads of divine consciousness.
The thin strands of divine consciousness were tightly connected to her soul, allowing her to transmit messages back to Xia Mo in real time.
The advantage of a divine sense imprint is that it can be retained for two years, but its disadvantage is also obvious: the divine sense imprint cannot transmit messages back in real time. If it is not retrieved in time within two years, the information collected by the divine sense imprint will also disappear.
Ugh……
Inside the inn—
Xia Mo sighed softly and opened her eyes.
She felt very weak, as if all her strength had been drained away. A wave of hunger washed over her, her lips turned pale, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
"Big brother..."
Summer's end calls.
But her voice was too soft, and Brother Xia didn't hear it.
Xia called out several more times at the end of summer, but Brother Xia still didn't hear him.
Brother Xia got up, still worried, and looked at Xia Mo on the bed, only to find that something was wrong with her.
"Little sister, where do you feel unwell?" Brother Xia's eyes were red with worry. Seeing the weak Xia Mo, he was so worried that he was about to cry.
"I'm so hungry...I want...I need food..." Xia Mo groaned weakly.
Brother Xia nodded, rushed out of the inn room, asked the innkeeper for food, urged him a few times, gave him money, and then, still worried, ran back to the room to stay by Xia Mo's bedside.
Brother Xia was very generous and gave a tael of silver directly. The innkeeper was also very helpful and prepared one meat dish and two vegetable dishes as quickly as possible.
Brother Xia brought the food to Xia Mo, who was lying on the bed like a pancake. Xia Mo snatched the food and quickly shoveled it into her mouth, not caring whether it was hot or not.
Brother Xia was worried that Xia Mo would choke, so he stood by nervously watching.
As Xia Mo ate her meal, she suddenly looked up and glanced in the direction of the door before continuing to eat quickly with her head down.
I ate one meat dish and two vegetable dishes, and I still felt hungry at the end of summer. But at this time, the hunger was just that the food hadn't provided energy to my body yet, so I just had to wait a little longer.
After a while, Xia Mo sat up and sighed.
"I'm fine now."
Xia Mo leaned against the headboard and looked towards the doorway again.
"Since we're already here, there's no need to back down now, is there?"
Xia Mo's teasing voice rang out, but then she realized that Brother Xia was beside her, so she quickly restrained herself.
Brother Xia looked toward the door, puzzled.
After a while, there was a knocking sound coming from the direction of the door.
When Brother Xia opened the door and saw Huangfu Qian and Jiang Feng outside, his eyes widened in surprise.
"I came to Anning Prefecture City on horseback at top speed," Huangfu Qian explained as he walked to Xia Mo's bedside.
Brother Xia didn't understand why Huangfu Qian was explaining things to his younger sister.
“Master Jia has run away,” Huangfu Qian said.
Brother Xia was increasingly confused. Who was this Taoist Jia?
Xia Mo glanced at Brother Xia, wanting to say something, but considering Brother Xia's presence, she simply hummed in response.
She is not only physically exhausted, but her soul is also exhausted, so she cannot use her divine sense to transmit her voice. Let's leave it at that for now.
“Master Jia is an extraordinary person, and so are you. Do you have a way to find Master Jia’s whereabouts?” Huangfu Qian asked.
Brother Xia roughly understood, but he was even more confused.
“Yes,” Xia Mo nodded and said, “I need to rest now, I have to rush home later.”
“I’ll wait,” Huangfu Qian said, sitting down in a small cubicle in the side room.
Brother Xia: "..." He really wanted to say that he would just watch over his little sister, and besides, didn't Huangfu Qian see that his little sister was very tired? Was he in such a hurry to make his little sister find that Taoist Jia?
