Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-Six: Mutual Devotion p2
Lin Xiwan raised her hand, gently wiped the sweat from her sister’s forehead, put her hand under her sister’s head, and brushed her hair up so that it wouldn’t cover her neck.
Then, Lin Xiwan gently moved her sister closer to her, letting her lie on the sheets and pillows that were not soaked with sweat, and then she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she didn’t know what happened to her sister while she was asleep, this was all she could do for her sister.
As if to confirm the weather and time, Lin Xiwan turned her head and looked out the window.
Before she could clearly see the moonlight outside, a figure clinging to the edge of the window, with both hands on the windowsill, cautiously peeking inside with half of its head, caught Lin Xiwan’s attention.
Huayibai?
Noticing Lin Xiwan’s gaze, Huayibai shrank back a little towards the wall, revealing only one eye and one arm.
It felt like she was hiding.
It seemed that she could ask Huayibai about what happened while she was asleep.
Lin Xiwan gently got out of bed and subconsciously raised her hand to rub her eyes, but quickly put her hand down awkwardly.
Because she remembered what this hand was doing before, there was a faint milky fragrance on it that didn’t belong to her.
After tiptoeing to the window, Lin Xiwan squatted by the gap in the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at Huayibai, who was secretly observing.
“Huayibai…” Lin Xiwan whispered.
“Sister Xi…” Huayibai also imitated Lin Xiwan, replying in an even lower voice, and put her index finger on her mouth with a serious face. “Shh…”
Lin Xiwan covered her mouth with her hand and nodded slightly. Then she moved her head closer and asked in almost the lowest volume:
“What are you doing…”
“Huayibai is protecting Mommy…” Huayibai replied softly, “Mommy is asleep…”
Fungi were basically defenseless during dormancy and reshaping, and it was the easiest time to be attacked. Protecting Mommy, Huayibai would not hesitate.
She had been watching here for nearly three hours.
“Hiss…”
Lin Xiwan gasped slightly after hearing Huayibai’s words.
So, Huayibai had been watching like this by the window?
All her unconscious movements in her sleep were also clearly seen by Huayibai?
It’s over, Huayibai wouldn’t think of her as a pervert, and then tell Yao after she woke up, right?
No! Now was not the time to worry about this.
After thinking for a while, Lin Xiwan felt that it was easy to disturb her sister’s rest by talking like this.
So she tiptoed to get up, gently opened the door, went around in a circle, went to the outside of the villa, and found Huayibai, who was squatting by the window and secretly observing.
“Huayibai,” Lin Xiwan also squatted beside Huayibai and asked softly, “Do you know what happened?”
Hearing Sister Xi talking beside her, Huayibai lifted her little skirt and moved her squatting position, making room for Lin Xiwan to squat and watch together. Her eyes never left Lin Jiayao, and she said softly:
“Mommy is asleep…”
“Oh…” Lin Xiwan moved to the position Huayibai made for her, and coaxed her like a child, “Why is Mommy asleep…”
“Um…” Hearing this, Huayibai thought for a while, and without thinking too much, she said directly, “Maybe because of the battle…”
Mommy trusted Sister Xi very much, and Huayibai also let down her guard against Lin Xiwan, saying whatever she asked.
“Battle? What battle?” After a slight pause, Lin Xiwan quickly thought of something, “Zombie battle?”
At first, Lin Xiwan was still thinking, where did the wild zombies come from in the camp, but then she thought, the battle Huayibai was talking about was very likely referring to the zombies in her sister’s dream.
It was very likely that her sister was controlling zombies in her dream and had a fierce battle in reality.
“What kind of battle? Does Huayibai know?” Lin Xiwan asked quickly.
Not only out of curiosity, but also out of worry, Lin Xiwan felt that she had to know what her sister was going through.
So that she could have an idea of how strong she needed to become to help.
“Um… after Huayibai’s flying car went to that place, she didn’t see any enemies…” Huayibai narrowed her eyes slightly and tilted her head slightly to the left, as if she was racking her brains to think about how to describe it.
“There were only so many blood crystals, on such a big mountain, the whole mountain was red…”
Huayibai tried her best to spread her arms, wanting to use her actions to let Sister Xi feel how big “so big” was.
In fact, Shenfeng Mountain was not big, at least compared to other mountains in the mountain range. This mountain, which was used for scenic viewing, was only 151 meters high, and it only took thirty or forty minutes to climb to the top on foot.
Even so, when such a mountain was covered with Blood Crystal fragments, it was still shocking.
Then, with Huayibai’s description, Lin Xiwan learned about some other scenes on the mountain that seemed to be relics left after the battle.
Almost half of the foot of the mountain was burned to ashes, and there was strange mustard powder all the way up. Sometimes she could even see some unbroken bones and skulls.
Especially the platform on the mountainside, as if it had been hollowed out. The mountain, where some terrifying creature had once lived, the huge and strange sarcoma whose blood had dried up, and the rows of bone ash, powder, and severed limbs behind the sarcoma, like a worm’s body.
And, almost the entire platform of more than 100 meters was stained with black blood, as if someone had brushed the floor with black and red ink.
The most important thing was that after Huayibai collected the Blood Crystals there, there were a total of sixty-three Blood Crystals and some fragments.
With so many Blood Crystals, there was no need to think too much, this must be a B-rank zombie.
Lin Xiwan tried her best to imagine the horror of the monster and the fierceness of the battle, but Lin Xiwan, who had not seen such a big scene many times, couldn’t imagine it at all.
“This… is this really the place where Sister Yao fought?” Lin Xiwan confirmed with Huayibai.
Even though she was so shocked, Lin Xiwan still did not forget to subtly correct Huayibai’s address.
“Yes. Mommy asked me to go.” Huayibai nodded and said with certainty.
“Do you often help Yao… fight with those zombies with her while she’s asleep?” Lin Xiwan asked this question for some reason.
“Um… helped Mommy, once, twice, three times…” Huayibai counted on her fingers, recalling the times Mommy touched her head and praised her, while answering.
Seeing Huayibai counting and recalling so seriously, Lin Xiwan already knew that Huayibai must have helped her sister fight or do other things many times.
Her sister never told her about these things…
For some reason, Lin Xiwan suddenly felt a little sad.
It wasn’t that she was jealous of Huayibai, a child, or anything, but she just felt that she was too incompetent as an older sister.
Although every time her sister told her about dreaming of zombies, she said it very lightly, and even the battles were mentioned in one sentence, but the process might be much more difficult than she imagined.
“You’ve worked hard,” Lin Xiwan reached out and gently rubbed Huayibai’s soft hair, and said softly, “Huayibai is also very good…”
Touching Huayibai’s head, Lin Xiwan followed Huayibai’s gaze and looked at Lin Jiayao lying on the bed.
There was no loss or depression on her face. Looking at her sister, her eyes were filled with love, with a bit of firmness and fire.
She was not a person who would feel sorry for herself. If she encountered a problem that could not be solved, she would try her best to solve it. If this problem was related to her sister, she would desperately solve it.
If the training was not enough, then she would intensify the training; if her strength was not enough, then she would improve her strength; if one punch was not enough, then she would punch again.
“Huayibai, can you call me when Yao wakes up?” Lin Xiwan rubbed Huayibai’s head and asked, “I’ll be in the arena you went to this afternoon.”
Lin Xiwan preferred to call that place, which looked like a Colosseum, an arena, and she already knew how to activate those zombies.
It was just that without her sister, after she activated them, those building-trees would continuously send stronger and stronger zombies until they crushed her.
It was equivalent to removing the limiter.
The battles protected by her sister, although smooth and refreshing, were real life-and-death struggles, which were the key to breakthroughs.
As long as the battle ended before her sister woke up, it would be fine.
The Blood Crystals collected by the ash area camp that she hadn’t collected were all handed over to Lin Xiwan. Originally, she planned to give these Blood Crystals to her sister as a surprise, but now, she had to keep them for herself.
Originally, she didn’t plan to keep any for herself, and all the Blood Crystals were prepared to be given to her sister.
“Okay!”
After hearing Lin Xiwan’s request, Huayibai glanced at the wreath on Lin Xiwan’s hand, nodded, and agreed to Lin Xiwan’s very ordinary request.
But to be on the safe side, Huayibai still pointed to the white butterfly flying not far away from her, which seemed to be rejoicing in its new form, and said to Lin Xiwan:
“Let Little Black take Sister Xi there. Little Black knows how to briefly suppress the big wood.”
Lin Xiwan naturally knew what Little Black was. She had seen Huayibai sitting under the tree and playing with her new friend Little Black before – it was the white mycelium in Kun City, which seemed to have no other use besides extinguishing fires.
“Okay.” Lin Jiayao nodded, and then watched Huayibai call the white butterfly over, muttered something, and then the white butterfly landed on Lin Xiwan’s shoulder.
Huayibai didn’t convey any complex instructions, only one, which was to protect Sister Xi and keep her alive.
If it didn’t work, Huayibai would also condense from the bracelet and protect Sister Xi.
It was double protection.
