In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 42 Xiao Ran: Can I borrow your bed for two days?

Xiao Ran rolled over, propped his head up with one hand, and smiled at Little Fairy Doctor with narrowed eyes.

"Okay, I'll borrow your bed for two days."

"Two days from now, I'll tell you how to become an alchemist, how about it?"

"Really?"

Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Ran suspiciously, unable to tell whether his words were true or false.

However, the allure of becoming an alchemist was like a spell, constantly swirling in Little Fairy Doctor's mind.

It's just borrowing my bed, isn't it?

At worst, we can just burn the whole bed after this guy leaves.

Most importantly, Xiao Ran is a powerful Dou Shi (Battle Master).

She has no power to resist her opponent at all. Even in the entire Green Mountain Town, there are probably only a few mercenary group leaders who are all strong and capable of fighting against her.

However, Little Fairy Doctor knew that such people prioritized their own interests and would never risk offending a young Dou Shi powerhouse to stand up for her.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and met Xiao Ran's amused gaze.

"Okay! I promise you!"

"However, I hope you won't lie to me. Of course, if you do lie to me, there's nothing I can do about it!"

Xiao Ran smiled slightly, then closed his eyes, lay down on the bed, and pulled the blanket over himself.

"It's too much for me, Xiao Ran, to speak to such a beautiful young girl like you!"

"Goodnight, beautiful girl, see you tomorrow!"

Little Fairy Doctor pouted and sat down on a chair in the room, suddenly looking puzzled.

"No, if you're sleeping here, where am I supposed to sleep?"

"Figure it out yourself! Of course, if you don't mind the crowd, you can come up here. I won't mind!" Xiao Ran said casually.

"Hmph! You wish!"

Little Fairy Doctor said sullenly.

"Don't think that just because I can't beat you, you can do whatever you want. Let me tell you, I, Little Fairy Doctor, am not someone to be trifled with!"

"Ah, yes, yes!"

Xiao Ran nodded, then pointed to the chair and said,

"Isn't that great? You can just put the two chairs together."

"And I need to correct you on one point: I am a reasonable person."

"But there will be times when you're unreasonable, and I hope you can watch your attitude! You should at least show basic respect to those who are stronger!"

The Fairy Doctor was so angry that her pretty face turned pale and her whole body trembled slightly.

Who is this person? Sneaking into my room, now occupying my bed, and telling me to watch my attitude?

But when she thought of Xiao Ran's strength, she stomped her foot in frustration and anger, her little mouth pouting so much it looked like she was tied to a donkey.

She turned her head away, refusing to look at Xiao Ran.

After a while, Little Fairy Doctor noticed that there was no movement inside the house.

Raising an eyebrow, she noticed that Xiao Ran was indeed lying quietly on her bed, covered with a fleece quilt she had made herself, seemingly fast asleep.

Seeing that Xiao Ran was completely at ease, it was as if she were her own bed.

He was immediately furious.

Although Little Fairy Doctor was furious, she was helpless against Xiao Ran.

Upon seeing that Xiao Ran was indeed just lying on the couch asleep...

Little Fairy Doctor gradually calmed down.

This made her doubt her own charm. Could there be a more beautiful woman in the large family?

Otherwise, why wouldn't this mysterious fighting master look at me a few more times?

Also, was it true that he wanted to capture her heart, as he said before?

Then, Little Fairy Doctor rested her chin on her hand and looked at Xiao Ran's fair face.

Surprisingly, she found him to be quite good-looking, much more handsome than many of the mercenary men she usually saw.

He stared blankly, lost in thought, and a hint of melancholy crept into his expression.

A genius like him would probably look down on a country girl like me who can't even sense the fighting spirit, right?

Feeling slightly frustrated, she looked at Xiao Ran's sleeping face and was surprised that he trusted her so much that he dared to fall asleep right in front of her.

This feeling of being trusted is really nice, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.

Suddenly, she realized that the guy in front of her was the scoundrel who had taken over her bed. Little Fairy Doctor, don't get any wild ideas!

After giving herself a pep talk, Little Fairy Doctor began to dream about how she would plan her future if she could become a glorious alchemist.

As for having someone come and drive Xiao Ran away tomorrow, she doesn't seem to have realized that she has already given up on that idea.

As she pondered, Little Fairy Doctor's eyelids began to droop.

It was like Jiang Taigong fishing mode had been activated when suddenly there was a "thump".

Little Fairy Doctor bumped her forehead on the table, startled awake, and looked around warily.

Then he realized he was still half asleep and rubbed his forehead.

Turning his head to look at his bed, Xiao Ran actually rolled over.

His even and long breathing indicated that he was sleeping soundly and deeply.

Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Ran on the bed with a pair of beautiful eyes full of resentment.

That's so ungentlemanly, like a pig, just thinking about sleeping and not even inviting me up to enjoy the warm blankets.

Shaking her head, Little Fairy Doctor forcibly turned her head away, refusing to look at that guy.

I closed my eyes again, slowly closing them.

But this time, Little Fairy Doctor just couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

For some reason, I felt incredibly agitated and confused.

Listening to Xiao Ran's even breathing coming from the bed.

Little Fairy Doctor felt incredibly angry.

It's clearly my own blanket, my own bed, yet someone else has taken it.

And yet, as the owner, he could only make do with two chairs in the house?

Where in the world is there any logic to this?

However, in order to become a glorious alchemist, Little Fairy Doctor finally gave in.

Then she had no choice but to tiptoe up and take out a blanket to drape over herself.

Then she closed her eyes and prepared to fall asleep.

……

The small town of Qingshan in early winter

Although it wasn't very cold, the temperature dropped sharply at night.

After an unknown amount of time, Little Fairy Doctor, who was fast asleep leaning against the table, trembled slightly and slowly opened her eyes.

She tightened her hands around the blanket.

"It's so cold!"

The small body trembled, its hands clutching the blanket around itself.

Looking at the moonlight shining through the windowpane into the room where it met the floor, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but frown.

It seemed as if it was pondering why it was there.

Instead, she saw Xiao Ran on the bed, fast asleep under the covers.

He was even more furious.

Why is this guy taking over my bed while I have to make do on a cold chair?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, so Little Fairy Doctor went straight to the bedside.

Looking at Xiao Ran, who was fast asleep under the covers, he simply snorted coldly.

She reached out and nudged Xiao Ran.

"Hello!"

However, Xiao Ran simply turned over and went back to sleep.
