I was the one who was causing the collapse of the iron.

Your ability to control micro-expressions is slightly improved.

Chapter 5: Dream of Eternal Life

The ability to control micro-expressions was quickly put to use, otherwise Xu Nuo estimated that if there was even the slightest abnormality on his face, Jing Liu would immediately notice it.

This woman known as Luofu Sword Master was so sharp that it seemed that all tricks were ineffective in front of her.

But what exactly is this? Is it a blessing from the pharmacist, or a benefit plug-in for myself as a time traveler?

Xu Nuo thought about it, looking at the white "Street Actor" badge in front of him, which looked like a plastic toy.

Not only that, he discovered that on this panel that looked like a game operating interface, there were other badges that had already been worn.

The first is a purple badge that flashes seductively.

[Endless Life (Epic): This is the blessing from the God of Fertility. This is the eternal life promised by the God. However, the God of Fertility will also fall into the sea of ​​stars. How will the eternal life promised by Him look like in the eyes of mortals?]

[Effect of wearing the badge: Gain nearly unlimited lifespan, but what is the price?]

[Advanced route: ???]

[Special Ability: Medicine King’s Compassion

The affinity with the Fate of Abundance increases, the frenzy value increases, and the physical fitness is greatly enhanced when in a frenzy state.

It seems that I was not dreaming nor having hallucinations. The pharmacist did give me a blessing. The purple badge in front of me is the embodiment of his power.

But no matter how you look at it, this badge doesn't look like a good thing.

In addition, next to this purple badge, there is a scarlet badge. The surging halo on the badge looks like flowing blood.

[Dream of Eternal Life (Eternal): Nothing can break your obsession with eternal life, and you will do anything for it]

[Effect of wearing the badge: Your desire for eternal life moves even the gods. This unshakable firm will is enough to allow you to resist all temptations. Your willpower is greatly enhanced. You will not fall into a state of losing your mind, and you will not be deceived by any illusions.]

[Advanced route: This badge cannot be removed, cannot be merged, and cannot be advanced]

[Special ability: Never wake up from the dream

All your words can easily infect and incite others, making them unable to help but believe in you and get close to you. And the promises you make will become an eternal dream in their hearts.

When did I pursue eternal life? I just simply want to survive. Living one day at a time is better than living another. This has nothing to do with eternal life, right?

Looking at the red badge, Xu Nuo fell into deep thought.

Although I don't understand how I became a person pursuing immortality, the power of this badge is very powerful and practical. Wearing this badge can ignore the side effects of the purple endless life badge.

And this special ability, is Bai Heng's kindness to me affected by this ability? But Jing Liu seems to be very wary of me.

However, Jingliu said that there were traces of the pharmacist's blessing and the power of abundance on his body, and now all these powers are concentrated on this badge. So what will happen if I take off this badge?

A hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes, and then Xu Nuo took off the purple badge of endless life.

In an instant, an intense feeling of weakness attacked his whole body. Xu Nuo felt a black screen before his eyes and fell into Jing Liu's arms.

Jing Liu was the first to notice it. She supported the boy who had fallen limply and put her fingers on his wrist to feel his pulse.

After checking, she found that the unpleasant aura that had lingered around the boy seemed to have dissipated.

The power of abundance has disappeared. Has this blessing... been taken away?

A glance from the Star God is enough to turn an ordinary mortal into an extremely powerful messenger, but at the same time, when the Star God takes back this power, the once lucky person will become a mortal again.

Although such things are rare, they are not without precedent. So when Jing Liu saw Xu Nuo's appearance at the moment, he thought of this the first time.

But this was just the woman's guess. After all, she couldn't be sure whether the rich aura lingering on Xu Nuo was the remaining trace of the ceremony or the blessing of the ancestor of longevity and plague.

"What happened? Why did he suddenly faint?"

Bai Heng, who was driving the Star Raft, also noticed the situation behind and asked with some concern.

"I don't know. Let's go directly to Dandingsi. The doctors there will definitely have a solution."

As Jingliu said this, Bai Heng also turned the Star Chariot around and headed towards Dandingsi.

◇

Xu Nuo opened his eyes and found that nothing had changed. He was still lying in the white ward, but the only sound that had changed was the ticking sound of the ECG monitor.

Be it the pharmacist, the immortal boat, Jingliu, Bai Heng and another world, it seems that everything is just an absurd dream.

Nothing has changed. He is still lying on the hospital bed, gasping for breath, waiting for death to come.

The burning sensation caused by breathing was so familiar, and Xu Nuo laughed.

"Didn't we agree that I would not be deceived by any illusion? So, this is not an illusion, it's a dream, a dream I had myself. Now that I have been reborn, what's the point of staying in the past? It's time to wake up."

As he finished speaking, Xu Nuo opened his eyes again. Everything in front of him was gray and black, and he could only see faint shadows. Although he still felt bursts of pain in his body, at least he was not completely unconscious.

Xu Nuo remembered and tried to take off the purple badge of endless life, and then he fainted on the spot.

It was obvious that his body was now also a sickly one, even worse than his previous life. He looked fine because of the blessing of the pharmacist, but after losing this power, his true colors were revealed in an instant.

Do you want to... wear the badge of endless life again?

But it would be very strange, right? After all, Jing Liu saw that there was an aura of abundance on him, and then this aura suddenly disappeared, and he fainted. As a result, he woke up now and the aura reappeared. It's so obvious that even a fool can realize that something is wrong, right?

Xu Nuo was thinking so and felt a little conflicted, and at this moment, a cold voice sounded in his ears.

"You are temporarily blind. As for when you will recover, the doctors at Dandingsi are not sure."

"Nothing, I'm used to it."

Xu Nuo chuckled and responded lightly.

Intermittent blindness was nothing new to him. Compared to waking up from a sleep and finding that a part of the body could not move, or the bedding was covered in blood, this kind of misfortune was the mildest condition.

Jing Liu fell into silence. She stood by the window, looking at the fragile boy whose whole body was as cracked as porcelain, and felt complicated.

Now she understood why the young man in front of her had such a cold look. She didn't know how long she could live and when death would come.

From the fear of fear to the gradual numbness of indifference, the young man in front of me has probably seen through life and death.

Chapter 6 Blood and Qi to Dispel Cold

"This is my home. I thought you might not like staying in the ward, so I brought you back. The doctor at Dandingsi said you need to recuperate, so it doesn't matter where you stay."

"Thank you."

Xu Nuo nodded slightly, and the atmosphere in the room became a little awkward for a moment.

Although he did not mean to play the victim deliberately, perhaps because he had been so miserable over the years, Xu Nuo naturally had a kind of pitiful and fragile temperament.

It is true that the people on Xianzhou are immortal, but this does not mean that every one of them is detached from all emotions and desires.

On the contrary, their emotions are not much different from those of ordinary people, and are even much stronger.

And strong emotions can easily induce the evil spirit, so the Danding Division even developed the Wanshou Wuqing Pill, which is specifically designed to suppress emotions and cut off all feelings and love.

Jingliu has no partner and no children, but she is a woman after all. When she saw Xu Nuo in this state, her maternal instinct was inevitably aroused.

Especially, he had previously been suspicious and wary of the young man in front of him, thinking that he might have ulterior motives. This guilt also deepened the feelings in Jingliu's heart.

"Where's Sister Bai Heng?"

"I asked her to leave first. I didn't tell her about your illness. That child has always been innocent, cheerful and optimistic. I didn't want her to be sad because of this. But you don't have to be too anxious. Although your illness is strange, Dan Dingsi still has a way to treat it. You will recover slowly."

"Why, are you surprised by my address to her? Although the fox people have a lifespan of three to four hundred years, it is still a little behind the immortal boat people. You and she are almost like children in front of me."

As if noticing the strange expression on Xu Nuo's face, Jing Liu folded his hands and explained again.

"Oh... then should I call you Grandma Jingliu?"

Xu Nuo let out a long tail sound, imitating the innocent tone of a child, and then the room fell into silence again.

Jingliu wouldn't get angry over such a small matter, but he would feel annoyed.

After all, she had no idea how to take care of a child, and the child in front of her was not cute at all.

It would be fine if this child was really so innocent, but the problem is that this is all just a disguise.

Knowing that the other party was pretending, he still had to play house with him, which was really unbearable for Jingliu.

"Can we have a nice, serious talk?"

"Hey, am I not serious enough now, Grandma Jingliu?"

Along with a soft moan, Xu Nuo felt a coolness on his neck.

Although he couldn't see with his eyes, he was not completely blind. Xu Nuo could still see some shadows.

Jingliu, who had been standing by the window, had come to the bedside and stood in front of him, and the coolness on his neck could only be the sword in the woman's hand.

"So, this is what you call a serious talk?"

"It's just a habit... that... I didn't mean to do it."

Jingliu felt a little embarrassed. She didn't know why she drew her sword. She was clearly not angry.

It's just being called grandma. Given her age, let alone being the kid's grandmother, she would be ranked ten generations ahead of his ancestor.

"Let me start by introducing myself. I'm Jingliu, the sword master of the Luofu Immortal Boat. Some people with bad intentions have given me the name Wuxian Feiguang. Bai Heng, whom you met before, is my good friend."

The chill on his neck gradually dissipated, and it was Jingliu who put away the sword.

As the woman spoke, she sat down on the edge of the bed. Xu Nuo could see her raising her arms, obviously fixing her hair.

While fixing her hair, she moved her body so that she was almost sticking close to Xu Nuo.

The two of them were very close, so close that Xu Nuo could smell the faint fragrance coming from the woman.

The figure honed by years of sword practice was incredibly graceful. The feeling from her body made Xu Nuo realize that the woman pressing against him seemed to have just finished a shower and was only wearing a thin gauze dress.

With just a slight movement of his palm, he could lift up the woman's dress and fully feel the softness and beauty of her skin.

However, Xu Nuo was not in such mood. His weak body did not allow him to be distracted, and the biting cold cut off all his fanciful thoughts.

Yes, it was cold. Jingliu’s body was as cold as ice.

This feeling became particularly obvious after the woman sat down next to him.

"You're so cold."

"Sorry, I'm used to being on guard all the time."

"Ahem... I see, you want to kill me, right? Tomorrow morning, when Sister Bai Heng comes to see me, you can announce to her with regret that I caught a cold at night and died of the disease, right?"

As Xu Nuo spoke, he started coughing violently. He clutched his chest tightly, his eyes widened, and a painful expression appeared on his face.

The cold air irritated his trachea and lungs, and Xu Nuo felt like he was going to cough out his entire lung.

"Yes... I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Oh, and here's the medicine, the doctor from Dandingsi gave it to me."

Although the strength in his body was dissipated in time, the temperature in the room would take a while to rise.

This is the nature of Jingliu's power. Asking her to condense a ball of fire now is really putting her in a difficult position.

She hurried to the table and took out the pills left by the doctor. However, it was difficult to get Xu Nuo to take the medicine as he was coughing violently.

Seeing that Xu Nuo was about to cough up blood, Jing Liu no longer hesitated. He threw the medicine into his own mouth, then leaned over and held down the struggling boy, and kissed him.

After all, it was I who caused the other person to be in this miserable state. I couldn't just watch him cough to death in front of me.

The process of feeding the medicine was not smooth. Xu Nuo was coughing too violently and the pill was very fragile. Jing Liu could only use his tongue to push the pill in little by little. His lips were sore from kissing and his tongue was numb from licking, but he finally managed to push the pill into the other's throat.

Fortunately, the doctor at Dandingsi was trustworthy. Not long after the medicine entered Xu Nuo's mouth, he stopped coughing.

Jing Liu, who was busy and sweating, also breathed a sigh of relief. The woman lazily lay in the man's arms, feeling that she had never been so tired even when facing the army of evil creatures on the battlefield.

Xu Nuo stopped coughing, but his body began to tremble, and his already pale face became even paler and frighteningly pale.

Although Jingliu was not a doctor, he knew a little about medicine and could tell at a glance that the other person was suffering from the sign of cold air entering his body.

It was obviously too late to go to Dandingsi at this time, and Xu Nuo's physical condition obviously could not withstand the ordeal.

The most convenient way now is to use body temperature to drive away the cold. Although Jingliu's power is ice, her physical fitness is there, and her strong blood can still do a good job of driving away the cold.

"Tsk, you little dog is really lucky."

With a curse, Jingliu first took off Xu Nuo's clothes, then lowered his head and untied the veil draped over his body, revealing a beautiful body that was whiter than the moonlight.

After that, the woman gently hugged the still shivering man, using her body temperature to keep him warm.

Xu Nuo also subconsciously hugged the warm body that came close to him, and the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.
