Chapter 523: Ma Dian's Sleepless Night
After trying many times to no avail, Xin'er finally gave up.
"Ah! Sure enough, it would be too difficult to become an alchemist without wind or fire." Xin'er complained.
"If you bite off more than you can chew, you should learn magic and martial arts well first." Ma Dian said with a smile.
Xin'er nodded, "Yeah! After I master fire or wind, Brother Dian, you must teach me how to make medicine!"
"Hahaha, let's talk about it then. Okay, you can rest first. I'll take a rest after finishing the remaining medicinal materials." Ma Dian said.
Seeing Ma Dian still sitting on the floor working, Xin'er smiled and said: "Hehe, Brother Dian, let me help too."
"Forget it, you don't know how, I can just do it myself." Ma Dian said while grinding.
Xin'er pouted and said, "Humph! You idiot Brother Dian! Although I can't grind the medicinal materials into water, I can grind them into powder for you. Then it will be much more convenient for you to grind them again."
Ma Dian didn't expect that not letting Xin'er help would make her angry, so he had no choice but to agree: "Okay, okay, I'm wrong, isn't it okay? Xin'er is so capable, so please help me get all the medicinal materials."
Grind it into powder. I can do the rest myself."
"Hehe, accept it!" Xin'er smiled and sat next to Ma Dian and began to grind the medicinal materials in the medicine mortar.
As the saying goes, when a man and a woman work together, the work is not tiring. With the cooperation of the two, all eighteen bowls of potion were ground.
Ma Dian took out another bowl made of cold jade, poured the medicine in the medicine mortar into the bowl according to a certain proportion, and after stirring evenly, a bowl of dark green "Gui Qi Tea" was completed.
Ma Dian put the "Gui Qi Tea" on the table, closed the lid to prevent the medicinal effect from being lost, and then stretched.
"Okay, it's finally done, Xin'er, thank you. Without your help, it might not have been completed until midnight." Ma Dian said.
Xin'er sat on the edge of the bed, her feet off the ground, and her jade feet kept swinging in the air, as moving as a white lotus coming to life, "Hehe, what's there to thank you for?"
All matters had been dealt with, the conversation between the two came to an abrupt end, and the atmosphere became a little awkward again. At this moment, a very real problem was once again placed in front of the two of them - the problem of sleeping.
There was only one bed, and although the bed was large enough to accommodate two people, both of them were at the age when they were in love, and their feelings for each other were also very subtle, so it would be difficult to fall asleep in the same bed.
Subconsciously touching his face, Ma Dian turned his head to the side and said: "Well... um, Xin'er, you can sleep on the bed, I... I can just use a stool to fight."
Xin'er was still a little shy about this topic, but she couldn't bear to let Ma Dian sleep in some strange place again. She mustered up the courage and said: "Well... how about we sleep in the bed together... Anyway, this bed
It’s big enough, so there’s no…no problem.”
Although what Xin'er said now was really what he thought in his heart, Ma Dian still didn't dare to accept it. He was afraid that this was a test from Xin'er to him. He swallowed subconsciously, restrained the desire in his heart, shook his head and said
: "No, no, no! I'll just sleep on the floor!"
Xin'er shook her red lips lightly, feeling a little angry in her heart: You idiot, Brother Dian! Even though I'm talking about this, you still dislike me! That's too much!
"Stop talking nonsense! Come up quickly!"
Xin'er couldn't help but pull Ma Dian to the bed. She quickly got to the other side, covered herself with a quilt, and said with her back to Ma Dian: "Dare... dare to rest tight, no... don't think too much, do you hear me?"
Looking at Xin'er's long hair and imagining the graceful curves inside the quilt, Ma Dian took a deep breath and managed to calm down the unknown fire in his heart.
"That... is... rude."
Ma Dian mustered up his courage and lay down on the bed too
When Ma Dian lifted up the quilt, he could clearly feel Xin'er trembling slightly, and her body became even more tense. Ma Dian was so frightened that he didn't dare to move at all. He just gently twisted a corner of the quilt, covered him symbolically, and immediately
Lie flat on the bed, close your eyes, and keep chanting silently in your heart.
"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form..."
I don't know how long it took, but Xin'er was able to sleep peacefully, but Ma Dian was still very energetic, even more energetic than when he first got into bed. The reason was simply that Xin'er's sleeping posture was too dishonest!
I don't know when, Xin'er has turned her head to face Ma Dian, feeling the aroma and the alluring red lips. Ma Dian just closed his eyes tightly and was about to escape, but who knows, Xin'er
One of his jade feet and hands was placed directly on Ma Dian's upper body, causing Ma Dian to tense up instantly and become unable to move.
Any man, with such a beautiful and defenseless girl lying next to him, would be unable to hold back the nameless fire in his heart! He would enter the battle preparation mode.
Ma Dian was like this at this time. Although he had tried his best to suppress the fire in his heart, and even used the biting cold wind to stimulate his brain, the tent under him was still set up high, carrying Xin'er on the jade feet above.
He was pushed up.
"Um……"
Xin'er, who was sleeping, couldn't help but frown slightly, let out a soft cry, turned over, put her feet on Ma Dian's belly, put her hands around Ma Dian's neck, and held Ma Dian like a toy doll.
"breathe……"
Ma Dian endured the pain while breathing heavily, and at the same time kept silently reciting in his heart: form is emptiness, emptiness is form, form is emptiness, emptiness is form...
The person who caused Ma Dian so much pain had no idea about it and was still sleeping soundly, even pressing his body closer to him.
…
Finally, the long night was over. Ma Dian was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling with his eyes wide open. The thick dark circles under his eyes made his eyes completely dark with a tone, and he looked a little tired.
Last night, Ma Dian could be said to have stayed up all night. Although Ma Dian managed to calm down in the second half of the night, he was no longer sleepy and stayed in a daze until dawn.
But at this time, Xin'er still had no intention of waking up. She was still sleeping soundly with Ma Dian in her arms. The tip of her nose was almost touching Ma Dian's face. Ma Dian could even feel Xin'er's unique fragrance while breathing out.
"Xin'er, get up quickly, it's already morning." Ma Dian blushed and gently grabbed Xin'er's arm, trying to take her arm away.
"Well... don't run, my little baby!" Xin'er murmured in her sleep, directly grabbed Ma Dian's head with her backhand and hugged him tightly.
Ma Dian felt a little uncomfortable being hugged by Xin'er like this, especially since his head was still leaning on the slightly raised hill, which made Ma Dian feel hot all over.
"Xin'er, you...let me go quickly. It's already morning. We are going to deliver medicine to Ye Chang." Ma Dian closed his eyes tightly and said.
"Well... I don't like taking medicine." Xin'er murmured.
"This medicine is not for you, but for Ye Chang." Ma Dian said with a painful look on his face.
"I told you, I don't like taking medicine!" Xin'er frowned and muttered. She didn't know whether she was asleep or awake.
"I said Xin'er, get up quickly and stop dragging me, I can't stand it anymore!"
Just when Ma Dian was in despair.
suddenly!
"Woo..."
A melodious horn sound came from above. Xin'er immediately woke up from her sleep, quickly sat up and said: "Brother Dian! It's the horn sound! There is a tide of beasts!"
Ma Dian was still lying on the bed at this time, finally breathing a sigh of relief. But Xin'er mistakenly thought that Ma Dian was still sleeping soundly, so she hurriedly opened it and patted Ma Dian's shoulder, lifted the quilt and said: "Brother Dian! Don't sleep anymore.
!Get up! Let’s go out and take a look!”
However, as soon as Xin'er lifted the quilt, she saw that Ma Dian's lower body was inexplicably swollen, and his pants were so tall that they looked like a small tent.
"Ah!" Xin'er couldn't help but exclaimed, "Brother Dian, what happened to you down there? Why did it suddenly swell up? Could it be that I kicked you when you were sleeping at night?"
As Xin'er said this, she was about to reach out and touch the small tent, thinking about helping Ma Dian reduce the swelling.
Ma Dian was so frightened that he jumped out of bed, bent down, and covered his lower body with his hands, "No...it's nothing, I'm fine! Just...wait a minute, I'll go to the bathroom first and we'll go out and take a look."
After that, Ma Dianfei ran to the bathroom, took a shower with cold water, managed to calm down, quickly changed into some clothes, and then walked out.
Xin'er looked at Ma Dian's lower body with a confused look on her face, "Huh? Brother Dian, what did you do? Why did the swelling down there disappear so quickly?"
Ma Dian blushed, turned his head to the side and said, "No...it's nothing. Just get ready and we'll go out."
Xin'er nodded, washed briefly, and then hurriedly left the room with Ma Dian.
As soon as they stepped out of the room, they bumped into Nie Haitang.
When Nie Haitang saw the two people going out, he hurriedly greeted them, "Are you two awake? I was about to inform you that due to a sudden beast wave, we have to go up and stop it. Please wait in the room until I finish processing it.
The beast tide is looking for two more people."
"No need to go to such trouble, let's go directly up with you, Deputy Nie. After the beast tide is dealt with, we can go directly to Commander Ye to get better." Xin'er suggested.
"Then what can we do? You two are our distinguished guests. How can we let you help us stop the beast tide? It's better for us to handle it ourselves. You two don't have to come up." Nie Haitang said.
"It's okay, let us go. We have nothing to do here. One more person will help us a lot." Ma Dian said. He really didn't want to be alone in a room with Xin'er anymore.
It was really uncomfortable to be able to see but not eat.
Nie Haitang glanced at the two of them and nodded, "Well, since you two insist, please come with me."
After that, Ma Dian and Xin'er followed Nie Haitang up the wall.
The two stood on the wall and looked around, only to see a group of spiritual beasts running on the horizon.
Xin'er made a rough estimate and found that the number of beasts this time was not particularly large, only about three thousand, and they were all low-level spiritual beasts, so it should not be difficult to deal with them.
However, since almost all the Jianghu people in Area 5 died, the number of people on the fence was limited. There were only two battalions of soldiers and a few college students, totaling less than a thousand people.
This small number of people simply cannot form a powerful formation to launch a long-distance attack on the spirit beasts from above.
Therefore, Nie Haitang ordered everyone to go down the wall, and every three people were divided into several small teams to fight head-on with the spiritual beasts below.
Xin'er, Ma Dian and Nie Haitang naturally formed a group.
Chapter completed!
