Chapter 453: Miss Puppet, You Have No Chivalry
Above the Aberration Fortress, a paralyzed Lynn lay exhausted, only able to see the two slender long legs in high heels belonging to Miss Puppet protruding nearby.
Obviously, that was the Miss Puppet he had accidentally knocked down.
Lynn actually still had a tiny bit of strength to move slightly.
But the moment he weakly opened his eyes and saw Miss Puppet’s closed eyes and cheek so close in front of him—
Ah!
All his strength vanished at once!
How strange!
He felt weaker and weaker!
Maybe it was because the wind was too noisy.
That last tiny thread of strength inexplicably disappeared too! So trying to get up by his own power was completely impossible now!So Lynn hiccuped once, then very normally went motionless again.
Time flowed slowly.
[Energy Riot complete, current energy loss 95.5%, remaining energy 1.32%]
[Unit rebooting — consciousness restoring —]
After a long while.
A prompt from the body sounded inside Hei Xianyue’s consciousness.
Her mind, which had crashed briefly from the massive energy burst, was slowly coming back online.
As purple runes gathered in her vision, she blinked her eyelashes and opened those ink-black eyes.
“Hi~ Miss Puppet, you’re awake?”
A voice came from above, weak but oddly earnest.
Hei Xianyue’s pupils constricted.
She immediately saw that handsome face collapsed on top of her, so close their noses practically touched, and she could even sense that wicked young man’s breath.
“……”
A bizarre silence spread unabashedly around them.
If an ordinary girl woke to that scene, she would instantly flush, scream, jump up and cry “pervert,” then deliver a devastating kick.
But Hei Xianyue didn’t move. Within two seconds she was calm again, staring at the eyes three centimeters above her, and said evenly:
“The Nano-Storm was suppressed?”
Lynn smiled sleepily, “Of course. If you think a little, most problems have solutions. I bet on it and won.”
Hei Xianyue turned her head slightly, watching the chaotic swirl of countless “dust” above with the corner of her eye, and her gaze toward this guy acquired a hint of newfound respect.
It flashed and was gone.
“So you’re not going to get up?” Miss Puppet asked with her eyes still closed.
Lynn said sadly with effort, “It’s not that I don’t want to stand, Miss Puppet, it’s that I’m powerless. Every cell in my body has been overdrawn. Don’t mind how smooth my words are now, but in reality I’m only a hair’s breadth from death.”
He wasn’t lying.
In his current state, he truly was on the verge of tearing apart.
Only skin and blood remained.
“Miss Puppet, would you help me up?” Lynn asked sincerely.
Miss Puppet kept her eyes closed, “I’m about the same. The energy riot hit me hard. Apart from my consciousness barely staying lucid, my body needs at least dozens of minutes to adjust before it can move freely again.”
“……”
That strange silence spread without restraint.
Lynn stared blankly, “So that means…”
Miss Puppet can’t move either…
So that means they’d really be stuck like this—this awkward posture—in the dead of night, out in the dangerous wilds…
A man and a woman alone, waiting for dozens of minutes…
No!
That can’t happen!
Those infected by the Nano-Storm, after dismantling other nanomachines, would surely attack them immediately!
And two opposite-sex beings in such a strange position—if nothing happened, even the heavens wouldn’t believe it!
Like this.
Like that!
And then things would happen between them!
Too dangerous!
Truly too dangerous!
“We have to think of something fast! Miss Puppet, we’re still in danger! There’s only the two of us here and no great options. Looks like we can only gamble on luck and wait those dozens of minutes!”
Lynn (〃´皿`)q finally resigned himself.
[Ding! Lynn Happiness +1]
Zuo Zuo bubbled up with mournful eyes, “Brain, did you forget Zuo Zuo? Zuo Zuo actually could—”
“Zuo Zuo is also drained of strength! Whether brain, left hand, or any part of the body, the cellular activity is gone. There’s nothing anyone can do!”
Lynn (〃´皿`)q spoke for Zuo Zuo and voiced what she would have said.
“Zuo Zuo really can’t move either!”
“Um, I—”
"Zuo Zuo is about to split open! (*｀皿´*)ﾉ"
“……”
Finally, after confirming one hundred percent that Zuo Zuo was indeed too weak to help, Lynn looked at the Miss Puppet beneath him and said complicatedly,
“Miss Puppet, looks like everyone’s lives depend on you, but don’t rush. Recover step by step. Save me when you can move. I’m not that important.”
Hei Xianyue: “……”
Although she hadn’t fully understood before.
She stared hollowly at this guy’s face so very close to hers.
But now she more or less grasped why his left hand would say he had a “very flexible moral baseline” and warn her to be careful.
Because he really was flexible.
Though she still didn’t quite know where his “morals” were defined.
But it was undeniable that he most likely lacked them frequently.
Because…
Hei Xianyue inhaled deeply and said, “You touched me.”
“……”
The bizarre silence spread.
Lynn blinked in confusion, “Where?”
Hei Xianyue looked at him with a dangerous glare.
Her meaning was obvious.
You tell me.
“Sorry.” Lynn said awkwardly, “You see, I’m basically a full-body paralyzed vegetable right now. I have no bodily sensation, so if I accidentally touched a strange place… after I recover, I’ll teach it a lesson for you!”
After all, it was that thing’s fault, not his.
He wouldn’t take the blame.
But he wasn’t lying either.
Right now, aside from his highly trained mouth muscles he could still control, the rest of his body no longer answered his will.
The heavens are high and the emperor is far away; he was a lone commander with no troops to command—truly powerless.
Hei Xianyue looked emptily to the side.
Her spirit was exhausted.
The urge to eliminate him grew heavier.
Because she knew well you can never wake someone who’s pretending to sleep.
“You said before you had a blessing that would instantly restore you to full state when you were near death, right?”
She asked weakly and hollowly.
Lynn paused, then chuckled, “Ah! Yes, the Matriarch gave me a holy buff to stop me from being an idiot. It’s very powerful. Don’t laugh, I almost triggered it just now.”
“Then why didn’t it trigger?” Miss Puppet asked weakly.
“(๑＞︶＜)و Because I have strong vitality!!”
He swelled with pride!
But in that instant—
Pfft—
An invisible thread pierced through his torso from the side.
[Ding! You received Puppet-String piercing damage, current life critically endangered!]
In a flash,
Golden shafts of light burst from his body. Torrents of Holy Power enveloped him like a waterfall, massive twelve-winged angelic wings materialized behind him, then slowly wrapped around his body.
The wound on him began to heal at an unimaginable speed.
[Ding! Angel’s Kiss effect triggered, you are under a holy blessing!]
[Ding! Your vitality and mental energy are fully restored!]
With the System prompts,
The golden light instantly converged back into his body, leaving Lynn lying there stunned and dazed.
After a long while,
Lynn said, “Miss Puppet… you really have no chivalry…”
