Chapter 916: Chapter 928: Like a Warrior Going Forth... (2)

So, she asked Mengmeng, but Mengmeng’s explanation was, isn’t that normal?

To this, she was speechless!

But from Mengmeng’s expression, she was very sure Mengmeng wasn’t lying.

If it were someone else, she’d think they were pretending!

But having spent so many days with Mengmeng, she understood Mengmeng’s personality.

Since she couldn’t get an answer from Mengmeng, she cautiously asked Bai Bing.

She thought Bai Bing wouldn’t tell her, but unexpectedly, Bai Bing just said one sentence: Go ask Lin Xi!

"That lecher?" she was stunned.

Actually, even before asking the two of them, she suspected all this likely had something to do with Lin Xi.

Now, with Bai Bing’s sentence, she was even more sure it had to do with that lecher.

It’s just that, she didn’t want to ask that lecher!

After struggling with it for days, this doubt was like a block in her heart, very uncomfortable if not resolved.

At the same time, the most important thing for her was that she wanted to become stronger!

She wanted to become as strong as her father, not like a weak girl, always under her father’s protection.

If her father got old in the future, then who would protect him?

After all, she’d watched enough Hong Kong films where the bosses, after aging, lived poorly and were even taken out by their subordinates.

So, she always had a wish in her heart, which was to become strong.

When her father got old, she would be the one to protect him!

But reality is laughable!

Since childhood, she had suffered from an unknown terrifying cold syndrome!

This syndrome not only tortured her but made her much weaker than ordinary girls; as for practicing martial arts, it was even less feasible!

And before meeting Lin Xi, she was sure she wouldn’t live past twenty.

Because by then, the cold bursts were becoming more frequent.

Each outbreak felt like saving a life from the brink of death, even if her father kept urging her to hold on, always saying they would find a way.

But she knew she couldn’t hold on much longer.

That’s why last time, she tried to escape alone.

The purpose of escaping, she didn’t want her father to see her dying from the cold syndrome.

She feared her father couldn’t bear it, and she also couldn’t bear leaving him to die alone in this world.

So she wanted to go alone, to die in an unknown corner.

Maybe that way, her father would feel better.

What she never expected was that before she could escape Chuzhou City, she met Lin Xi, and at the same time, the cold syndrome erupted.

That time, she thought she was going to die.

Because it wasn’t at home where she had special equipment to suppress the cold syndrome.

But outside, once it erupted, there was really no hope.

What she never expected again was that this lecher had the ability to save her life and even gave her a bottle of medicine, taking which not only suppressed the cold syndrome but seemed to have a calming effect.

For the first time, she saw hope of living again.

"Just ask, what’s there to fear?"

"After all, this life was saved by him!"

She comforted herself this way.

At the same time, she couldn’t help but curse in her heart, "But this bastard is really hateful!"

After dinner, Lin Xi also noticed Su Qiaoqiao’s odd expression, as if something was stuck in her heart, wanting to speak but couldn’t.

Was she worried about her father?

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help saying, "Qiaoqiao, you don’t need to worry about your father’s matter anymore!"

"They are not in any danger now!"

"Once their level breaks through, they’ll naturally show up."

Upon finishing this, he noticed there was still no change in Su Qiaoqiao’s expression, making him wonder, "Is it not because of this?"

"Could it be the cold syndrome acting up again?"

"But judging from her face, that doesn’t seem to be the case?"

He frowned and asked again, "Is the cold syndrome acting up?"

"Or is there something else?"

"Whatever it is, just say it directly!"

Off to the side, Bai Bing and Mengmeng also looked over; evidently, Lin Xi’s question made them realize something was off about Qiaoqiao too.

Bai Bing added, "Qiaoqiao, anything can be solved!"

"Even if I can’t solve it, isn’t he here?"

Mengmeng nodded on the side, always believing there’s nothing in the world that dad can’t solve.

Seeing the concern from the three of them, Su Qiaoqiao felt a very sincere warmth in her heart.

So without much hesitation, she directly voiced her inner doubts again.

Bai Bing was taken aback; she hadn’t expected Qiaoqiao to still be thinking about this.

And hadn’t she said before to ask Lin Xi directly about it?

As for Mengmeng, hearing it was about this, she shook her head, indicating she was powerless.

Contrarily, Lin Xi couldn’t help but smile, so it was this matter!

He had performed the ’Hundred Days Foundation Establishment’ with the Nine Divine Needles of Heaven-Reversing for a group of women, but forgot about this little mischief-maker at home.

Actually, it’s not his fault for forgetting; it’s just that seeing her every day with Mengmeng of Innate Power, he inadvertently overlooked her.

"You really want power?" Lin Xi looked at her playfully.

If she wants to practice the ’Hundred Days Foundation Establishment,’ it’s certainly possible.

It’s just that she wouldn’t have the same privileges as Gu Xiaoxian and Xiang Juan, obviously opting for the hassle-free needle technique.

Actually, there’s nothing much to see, after all, she’s so flat-chested.

The most crucial thing is, due to her cold illness, not a single mistake could be afforded.

If something went wrong and the suppressed cold syndrome erupted, that would be quite troublesome.

Bai Bing glanced at Lin Xi; naturally, she knew Lin Xi’s method of boosting power but said nothing more.

Lin Mengmeng, on the other hand, wasn’t curious about it at all; she didn’t need to specifically improve her power, it would naturally elevate on its own.

Therefore, she’s never interested in matters related to power.

After all, she thinks, instead of power, games, animations, and shopping on Taobao are more interesting...

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!!!"

That was Su Qiaoqiao’s response.

To her, there was absolutely no hesitation.

Lin Xi nodded, "Even if it requires a certain cost, are you willing?"

"Cost?" Su Qiaoqiao was puzzled.

"Yes!"

But after thinking about it, she realized that paying a cost for improving strength was normal.

After all, at her age, she had already missed the age for practicing martial arts.

Besides, there’s her physical condition.

It’s known that all renowned doctors have said she shouldn’t exert herself, let alone practice martial arts.

So, having this opportunity meant everything to her, and she wouldn’t let it slip away.

What’s there that she couldn’t sacrifice?

That’s what she thought.

"Alright then, follow me to the room!" Lin Xi said, heading towards the room.

"To the room?" Su Qiaoqiao was puzzled again.

Why do you have to go to a room to gain strength?

This doesn’t seem right!

Still, she looked at Bai Bing, then at Lin Mengmeng, noticing nothing unusual on their faces.

Seeing Lin Xi already entering the room.

She suddenly felt scared; this meant being in a room with a lecher!

She’s a pure, untouched maiden.

If the rogue does something?

Then what?

Wouldn’t her life be ruined...

Now, she wanted to talk it over with someone, but Bai Bing and Mengmeng seemed uninterested, engrossed in their Korean dramas...

"What to do, should I go?"

As she thought this, in less than three seconds, she made up her mind.

Displaying the courage of a determined hero, she stood up and headed towards Lin Xi’s room!
