To be fair, if she hadn't been watching from the sidelines, and instead been fighting Nie Qingyun herself, she probably would have been defeated long ago.
Therefore, Saotome's behavior is perfectly understandable.
So he simply looked at the girl earnestly and said:
"The strength of a transcendent being's skills only represents their lower limit."
"Excellent combat strategies and knowledge reserves are the key to determining the upper limit."
"The enemies we face in the future will only get stronger and stronger. You need to learn to think, instead of blindly pursuing the strength of a certain skill."
"You won't get far this way."
"Okay! I understand!" Hayami adjusted her glasses, agreeing very seriously, then paused, as if she had suddenly thought of something:
"What if Liu Chengyuan didn't choose to run away in the end?"
"Then Nie Qingyun won't be able to hide in the designated safe zone, right?"
Upon hearing this, a complex expression appeared in Qin Hehuan's eyes:
"He's gambling, gambling that Liu Chengyuan won't dare to die with him..."
As he spoke, he looked intently at Nie Qingyun.
Qin Hehuan watched the entire battle from beginning to end, and she could clearly see that Nie Qingyun was risking his life in the end.
Liu Chengyuan, however, did not have this awareness.
He has already lost in this respect.
……
Cheng Yuqiu... does she really deserve you to go to such lengths?
After a long while, Qin Hehuan withdrew her gaze and suddenly said:
"Regaining his trust requires a suitable opportunity."
Saotome had spent quite some time by Qin Hehuan's side and knew that she was referring to the matter of easing tensions with Nie Qingyun, so she couldn't help but say:
"The battle is over. If we make a move now, it will only arouse suspicion..."
“Therefore, we should adopt Plan B,” Qin Hehuan interrupted.
"Huh? There's a Plan B?" Saotome asked, looking bewildered.
"How come I've never heard of such a thing before?"
Qin Hehuan remained expressionless:
"Now there is."
"Ya, I've never asked about your private life before..."
Have you... ever had experience with the opposite sex?
"Huh? Huh? Huh?!!!!!" Saotome Mei blushed instantly. She was genuinely startled to be asked such a private question in front of everyone.
I couldn't even hold the folder properly, and I frantically tried to catch it several times before finally holding it back in my arms.
The boys present all looked strange, but no one dared to make a joke; they simply pretended not to hear.
Seeing the girl's expression, Qin Hehuan knew the answer and gave the order:
"I'll ask others for their advice later."
"Then I went back with Shikawa Asuka."
"After meeting Nie Qingyun, I stayed at his place tonight under the pretext of 'exchanging intelligence'."
Saotome blushed, never expecting to be entrusted with such an important task.
Staying there that night... it goes without saying that she'll definitely find an opportunity to sneak into Nie Qingyun's bed, make things official, and create a good atmosphere for further cooperation later.
Saotome instinctively shook her head vigorously.
"Why me...?"
Qin Hehuan silently gazed at the girl before her, her eyes seeming to say something:
In the student council, you're the only one I can trust. If you don't go, am I supposed to go myself...?
Chapter 121: Let her hug me too!
Saotome blushed under Qin Hehuan's gaze, and couldn't help but steal glances towards the square.
Because of the distance, it was difficult to see Nie Qingyun's specific appearance.
However, Saotome still had a deep impression of Nie Qingyun.
After all, they had been on the run together for several days.
Especially on the day Nie Qingyun was injured and left, he volunteered to lure the zombies away for everyone.
Due to the circumstances, Saotome did not participate in the vote and had little say, but she was still very grateful to the handsome boy in her heart.
At first, like most people, she thought Nie Qingyun would definitely be eaten by zombies.
It wasn't until later, through Qin Hehuan, that they learned that Cheng Yuqiu's escape was directly related to Nie Qingyun.
Like other girls her age, Saotome, in the prime of her youth, is prone to overanalyzing and fantasizing about matters of the heart.
At that time, I imagined a love story of "a poor but devoted young man who secretly loves a rich girl and goes through many hardships to save her".
To her utter surprise, it's now her turn to go up and give it away for free.
Saotome understood the plight of girls in the apocalypse all too well, which is why she wanted to become stronger and grasp the compass of destiny with her own hands.
But if you could find a strong and handsome boyfriend who would protect you at all times, who would want to spend every day crawling around in hordes of zombies?
Emmmm......
Thinking about it carefully, if the object of affection is Nie Qingyun, it doesn't seem so hard to accept...
The problem is, Qin Hehuan has so blatantly stated this in public, how is anyone supposed to respond?
Saotome's heart was pounding wildly and she couldn't calm down for a long time, so she could only show a reluctant expression.
Qin Hehuan did not pursue the topic further, which meant that the matter was settled.
No one else present cared about this; whether there were more or less people in the student council made no difference to them.
The most important thing now is to get back to a safe place as soon as possible.
Just as the group was about to set off, someone suddenly pointed to Fang Xiang in the square.
"Look! Something seems to be happening..."
……
Nie Qingyun forced himself to stay upright despite his battered body, and took several deep breaths before the suffocating feeling in his chest was relieved.
Looking at the waterless area isolated by the remaining magma, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He had long since become numb to physical pain; only mental stress was a real burden to him.
Fortunately, it's all over now.
"Nie Qingyun! You, you scared me to death!" Cheng Yuqiu put away her shield and ran over with tears streaming down her face.
The power storage system at Linjiang Terrace is equipped with automatic safety devices, so the explosive leakage effect will not last long. For safety's sake, Nie Qingyun used his mind to dispel the residual effects of [Will of Frost] and [Fire Explosion].
The water and lava covering the square instantly slid down in particles and disappeared into the air, leaving only a mess on the ground.
The next second, Nie Qingyun was pulled into the arms of a soft, delicate body.
His body was knocked to the ground along with him.
"Ouch...it hurts!"
"Let me go first, then we'll talk..."
"No!" Cheng Yuqiu straddled Nie Qingyun, burying her head in his cheek. After a few seconds, she raised her head, golden light emanating from her hand.
Although she didn't understand why Liu Chengyuan had suddenly collapsed, there were obviously more important things to do now.
"A flash of holy light!"
After a brief moment of disorientation, Nie Qingyun's body was enveloped in gentle energy.
The pain in my body seemed to have been relieved somewhat.
However, Nie Qingyun quickly broke free from the hallucinogenic effect and grabbed the young lady's wrist, saying:
"Your mental energy is almost depleted, don't waste it anymore."
“My injury is a bit serious. Even if you treat me here until night, I still won’t be able to fully recover.”
"No! You lie down properly!" Cheng Yuqiu slapped the other person's hand away without saying a word, and resolutely summoned the Holy Covenant again.
Seeing that the young lady's face was growing paler and paler due to exhaustion, Nie Qingyun felt genuinely sorry for her and could only patiently say:
"It's really nothing. I'll recover after we leave here, trust me..."
“Ahhh~!”
As they were talking, Nie Qingyun suddenly felt a warm breath on her cheek. Turning her head, she saw her senior's pretty face right in front of her.
The girl knelt on the ground, supporting her body with her hands, and was sticking out her pink tongue, seemingly trying to lick the wound on the other person's face.
Nie Qingyun was startled and quickly reached out to support his senior's forehead, then patted the young lady's buttocks to signal her to get up.
Having finally defeated Liu Chengyuan, Nie Qingyun was careless and ended up being killed by her senior who went berserk.
During the battle just now, Nie Qingyun could have completely avoided that broadsword trap.
But ever since he started fighting Liu Chengyuan, he has felt his senior's strong desire to attack through [Resonance].
Although this aggressive desire was directed at Liu Chengyuan.
But Nie Qingyun dared not actually let his senior sister participate in the battle.
She has neither the amazing defensive capabilities of the young lady nor the ability to be reborn.
Therefore, Nie Qingyun had to devote a considerable portion of his mental energy to controlling his senior sister and preventing her from moving around recklessly.
Furthermore, this signal transmission cannot be interrupted, otherwise the senior student will definitely rush up in the next second.
Thanks to this, he was almost knocked unconscious by the [Claymore Mine].
Fortunately, everything went smoothly in the end.
Cheng Yuqiu stood up, looked at Lingyuan Ellie who was being supported by her head and whose hands were constantly reaching forward as if she wanted a hug, and pursed her lips.
Having gone through such a fierce battle together, the three of them have grown closer to each other.
Cheng Yuqiu was no longer as resistant to Lingyuan Aili as before.
She automatically assumed the role of a "good mother," deliberately putting on an indifferent expression as she said:
"You, just give her a hug, I... I'm not angry anymore."
Nie Qingyun's lips twitched; this was not something a jealous young lady would say.
But this is not as simple as a hug. If I let my senior get close, I'm afraid I'll be sucked dry by her.
My injuries are quite severe now, and relying on my senior to trigger my resurrection is too dangerous. I need to find a safe place quickly and use other zombies to revive myself.
"Let's get out of here first." Nie Qingyun didn't explain further, but took his senior's hand, trying to make her behave.
Seeing this, Cheng Yuqiu didn't intend to linger any longer; all she wanted to do was go back and take a nice hot bath.
then……
Then, considering how hard the guards worked today, I'll reward them a little tonight.
"Oh, right," Cheng Yuqiu seemed to suddenly remember something, and while helping Nie Qingyun hold her senior's other hand, she asked:
"Liu Chengyuan is dead. Did anything good come out of the leaked information?"
Nie Qingyun had already told the young lady that those who transcend would drop a [Lying Treasure Chest] after they died.
Upon hearing this, he was taken aback at first, and then sighed inwardly, "It seems I still can't overexert my mental energy in the future, or my brain won't work properly."
How could I forget such an important thing?
Thinking about it, he opened his [Data Space].
