CHAPTER 1062: 1139: FOOLISH PEOPLE, KNEEL DOWN

"I was wrong!!"

Yi Ran widened his eyes and looked at Shu Yu honestly. He was feeling uneasy, constantly swallowing his saliva. Because Shu Yu was smiling so beautifully, yet her gaze was so cold and harsh, and this aura of aloofness and greatness seemed to reprimand him— Foolish commoner, kneel!!

Yi Ran lifted his neck, desperately trying to minimize his presence, his eyes becoming timid. He was somewhat afraid of this version of Shu Yu.

Shu Yu glanced at him, let out a light hum, and then slowly looked at the elder brother lying on the bed. "How do you feel? Is there any discomfort?" Zhi Chen smiled, "It’s fine, just that my body feels weak."

"Ah!" Dong Huiying slapped her forehead, then laid Zhi Chen flat. After the wizard cast subterfuge on Zhi Chen, to prevent him from running around wildly, she used the Golden Needle Sealing Points, and now those golden needles still remained in Zhi Chen’s body... Huh?

With this thought, Dong Huiying’s expression turned peculiar again.

Initially, she had used golden needles to seal Zhi Chen’s limbs, but now the golden needles were clearly still inside Zhi Chen’s body. However, earlier, Zhi Chen seemed to have hugged her, meaning Zhi Chen’s hands could move. What was going on?

Zhi Chen seemed to have noticed her confusion, with a slight smile in his eyes, "This time, I may have turned misfortune into a blessing."

"Turned misfortune into a blessing?" Shu Yu’s eyes flickered, then softly called, "Brother!"

Zhi Chen looked at Shu Yu, and at the next moment, Shu Yu struck towards Zhi Chen with her palm. Zhi Chen reflexively met her palm with his, and Shu Yu took a slight step back, then her eyebrows lightly raised several degrees.

"Congratulations, Brother." The fruits they ate back then had increased their inner strength significantly over time. However, this "increase" is also limited. For instance, Shu Yu himself had eaten more of the fruits back then, so the growth was more noticeable, and the growth period was much longer than his brother’s. But a few months ago, the inner strength stopped increasing.

He was pondering in his mind; perhaps the magical inner strength brought by the fruit had been completely absorbed by him. He was also contemplating how to enhance his inner strength in the future. However, he wasn’t very obsessed with this aspect. At most... the greater the ability, the more he could protect what he has, and better safeguard his family?

That’s probably the awareness.

However, turning misfortune into a blessing this time, he didn’t use his full strength, but if it were the old brother, he definitely wouldn’t withstand this palm.

Dong Huiying looked at the two brothers, looking utterly perplexed, then she scratched her neck, "I’ll remove the golden needles first."

Thus, she removed the golden needles from Zhi Chen’s body. But having endured such an ordeal, Zhi Chen’s vitality couldn’t match his former self, his face showing signs of fatigue.

Dong Huiying gently patted his head, then softly said, "Sleep, recover your health quickly."

"Alright~~~" He smiled indulgently, obediently responding. Yet his energy was lacking, truly unable to hold on anymore, he closed his eyes under his wife’s watch.

Dong Huiying stayed by the bedside, Shu Yu stood not far away, not making a sound, which made Yi Ran also timid, not daring to speak. It wasn’t until Zhi Chen was sound asleep that Dong Huiying rose.

She tucked the corners of his quilt, then slightly narrowed her eyes. She turned to look at Yi Ran.

"Young Master Yi, regarding the things between you and Zhi Chen back then, and the entanglements between Zhi Chen and the Seventh Princess, I think I need to explore them with you in depth, please make sure to cooperate!"
