Chapter 40: Falling from the Sky!
She even confiscated his phone!
It was so frustrating!
Jiangnan, lying obediently on the bed, couldn't fall asleep at all!
Why hadn't the Spirit Nourishing Leek and Detoxifying Soybean taken effect yet?
Even if he hadn't eaten them, the eggs and meat must have absorbed some of the broth, right?
Jiangnan stared wide-eyed for a whole hour...
Alright!
Guess it wasn't going to work!
Time for a ten-draw!
The accumulated resentment points allowed Jiangnan to do two more ten-draws!
The results were one盛世美颜丹 (Ultimate Beauty Pill)!
And 19 pairs of Hulk Brand Shorts!
This outcome was pretty acceptable, right?
And just then!
Katerina, who had been lying quietly beside him, began to stir.
Her pretty face slightly flushed, she started squirming uneasily.
She secretly opened her eyes to check on Jiangnan, who was lying beside her, and found him asleep!
So she quietly reached out her little hand.
Grabbing Jiangnan's hand!
Jiangnan: ???
Big Sister?
What are you doing?
Being so subtle?
According to his original plan, the Soybean plus Leek should have a violent effect!
She should be too busy dealing with herself to bother him!
But now?
No way?
Could it be that only eating the eggs and stir-fried meat made the drug's effect milder?
Jiangnan's heart was trembling!
This... this couldn't be backfiring on him, could it?
Just then, Katerina's expression turned pained again. She was drenched in sweat, as if she'd been pulled out of water!
Jiangnan's eyes lit up with excitement. Was it taking effect?
But she looked like she had a fever?
No, no, just pretend to sleep and that's it!
Absolutely cannot let her discover that I poisoned the food!
As long as I stay calm enough!
Nothing will happen!
Yet the next moment, Katerina, with a pained face, suddenly wrapped her arm around Jiangnan's neck!
It was like when a girl is sick and wants to hug a stuffed toy.
But her strength was immense, squeezing Jiangnan until his eyes rolled back!
He quickly tried to pull his hands out to push her away!
But Katerina pinned them down!
Under Jiangnan's horrified gaze!
Katerina's legs transformed into thick, serpentine tails! Her pupils turned into snake eyes!
She coiled herself around Jiangnan layer by layer, binding him tightly!
Jiangnan was so scared that every hair on his body stood on end!
"Damn! Has she really turned into a snake?"
If this continued, wouldn't he become Xu Xian? (A reference to the Legend of the White Snake)
How could that be allowed?
He immediately tried to teleport away!
But his idea was nice; tied up like a giant zongzi, Jiangnan found he couldn't teleport at all!
It was as if some skill was suppressing him!
And every time he moved, Katerina's snake tail tightened a bit more.
Jiangnan's heart was in a panic!
But just then!
Katerina's pupils suddenly lost their light. She fainted, collapsing onto Jiangnan.
"Uh... uhh uhh uhh!"
(⑉Ծ^Ծ⑉)
Jiangnan was bound tightly!
He could barely breathe!
Every time his body moved, the snake tail tightened!
So Jiangnan dared not move at all!
He never imagined it would come to this!
The plan was ruined!
Forget about tipping anyone off now!
He had to struggle to survive under the pressure of life!
Jiangnan had no idea that the Spirit Nourishing Leek had triggered Katerina's bestial nature!
After turning into a snake, she was also a venomous snake, which then triggered the detoxifying properties of the Soybean, stimulating her until she passed out...
Poor Jiangnan!
Tonight would be sleepless, no doubt!
The next morning, Katerina woke up slowly!
She found Jiangnan beneath her, sporting big dark circles under his eyes!
He stared at her helplessly!
"Wh... what happened?"
She had transformed? Why was she coiled around him?
Jiangnan: "Can we talk after you get up?"
Katerina quickly got up, reverted to human form, rubbed her head, looking completely confused.
Jiangnan said matter-of-factly, "You! You sleep so restlessly! And you sleepwalk! Tomorrow, you sleep on the bed! I'll sleep on the floor!"
Katerina: "Sleepwalk? I remember..."
"You remember what?"
Katerina covered her face. She only remembered feeling very uncomfortable, wanting some comfort, then secretly holding his hand...
"Nothing... nothing!"
Jiangnan breathed a sigh of relief. At least he escaped a beating!
He then put on his clothes and headed for the door.
"Where are you going? You can't leave!"
Jiangnan shrugged: "I'm still a student. I have to go to school!"
"No! Who knows if you'll go to the police?"
Jiangnan: "If I don't go, that'll be even more suspicious, alright?"
Katerina hesitated for a moment, then said, "Fine, I'll watch you. Don't try anything tricky!"
She absolutely couldn't get exposed these two days!
Jiangnan had no choice but to let her follow!
On the way to school, Katerina, with her blonde hair, wore a baseball cap, Jiangnan's half-sleeve shirt, and jeans, following behind him!
Even so, she still attracted countless people's attention!
Jiangnan was already handsome enough to drive people crazy!
And with a stunning blonde beauty by his side, it was even more eye-catching!
Zhou Yuqing, following far behind, rubbed her eyes!
She thought she was seeing things!
This... this older sister just came out of Jiangnan's house?
The two of them...?
At the school gate, many classmates were stunned for a moment.
After all, it was rare to see such a beautiful foreign girl?
"Holy crap! What's going on with Nan Shen? Where did he meet such a beauty?"
"Blonde hair, blue eyes, way too gorgeous!"
"Keeping a beauty hidden away? Nan Shen lives up to his name!"
"How come I never meet anyone like that? I'm so jealous!"
Katerina felt a bit uncomfortable under all the stares. She threatened Jiangnan, "I can see every move you make from outside. Don't go looking for trouble!"
But to others, this action looked like affectionate whispering.
Jiangnan shuddered!
Jealous?
You try it!
He finally understood!
Right now, he was basically her hostage!
Hmph! Just wait. Let her have her day.
Sitting in the classroom, Jiangnan stared straight ahead, seriously doing his work.
Many classmates kept sneaking glances out the window!
Katerina stood under the tree shade, waiting for Jiangnan to finish school. She didn't go anywhere!
This made the classmates in the class extremely envious!
"Nan Shen! That's awesome! She stood outside waiting for you the whole morning! Don't you feel sorry for her?"
"Yeah! Why not bring her a bottle of water this afternoon?"
"So heartless! Looks like handsome guys can be willful!"
Jiangnan: ...
Feel sorry for her?
A Gold-level Spirit Warrior needs his concern?
Jiangnan wished Katerina would get sunstroke out there!
"Nan Shen! Spill it! How did you meet her? Give us a lead?"
Jiangnan put down his pen, looking serious: "She fell from the sky!"
[Wang Bin's resentment +999!]
[Yuan Yuhan's resentment +666!]
[...]
"Seriously! Don't you believe me? She really fell from the sky! Put a huge hole in my roof!"
[Wang Bin's resentment +1000!]
