Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Chapter 568 Doomsday Returns, Real Gold Kills Crazy 40

She stood up and walked over to the coffee table beside the bed, where she lit a stick of incense. It was homemade, and not only did it smell pleasant, but more importantly, it had a relaxing and soothing effect.

Fu Xuanjiu's nerves were too tense, which was not conducive to her subsequent "treatment".

As expected, as a delicate fragrance slowly permeated the room, Fu Xuanjiu's tense mood also relaxed. His body gradually relaxed, replaced by a sense of peace, as if his spirit had returned to its divine homeland.

Seeing this, Nan Xi waved her hand and set up a barrier outside the room to protect the room from being disturbed by the outside world during treatment.

Pulling a chair over casually, she sat down beside the bed, formed seals with her hands, and gently unfolded the fifth level of the "Purification Technique" in the "Soul Refining and Heart Purification Technique".

Soon, a faint glow seemed to appear on her slender white fingertips, and then the hand slowly covered Fu Xuanjiu's forehead.

The light blue light flowed between the two of them like water, spreading back and forth.

Almost immediately, Fu Xuanjiu felt a momentary dizziness in his brain, and then a gentle force led him, exploring and filtering inch by inch in the depths of his soul.

At the same time, Nan Xi once again felt the energy within Fu Xuanjiu's body, intertwined with her own aura. It had a strange rhythm that made her want to immerse herself in it.

Taking a peek, Fu Xuanjiu's face also had a hint of intoxication, like a peach blossom brushed by the spring breeze.

Nan Xi: "..."

Somewhat speechless.

This felt particularly like the "spiritual communication" experienced during dual cultivation in the fairyland, but she was very sure that she was not practicing any mental method related to dual cultivation.

It is even more impossible for Fu Xuanjiu to understand this.

I don't know what's going on. Never mind, let's get down to business.

Nan Xi took a deep breath, trying her best to shake off the urge to immerse herself in it. At the same time, she increased the power of the "Exorcism Technique." In an instant, the light emanating from her palm became even more intense.

Finally, the entangled aura in Fu Xuanjiu's body was defeated again and soon disappeared quietly.

Nan Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

She began to concentrate on absorbing and clearing away the gray things in Fu Xuanjiu's soul that shouldn't have existed. Only after the last trace of abnormality was purified did Nan Xi slowly withdraw her hand.

Fu Xuanjiu had opened his eyes at some point and was looking at her face intently.

"How do you feel?" Nan Xi asked.

Fu Xuanjiu smiled slightly, his voice low and soft: "I feel more relaxed than ever before, thank you."

Actually more than that.

He believed that he was not the only one who felt the throbbing sensation that touched the depths of their souls. Moreover, after this "spiritual connection", he felt that his feelings towards Nan Xi had changed.

It wasn't just the inexplicable attraction she had felt before, but also a closeness and dependence that came from the depths of her soul.

So, Fu Xuanjiu thought about it and made a request that he thought was a bit excessive:

"Xiao Xi, can I ask you for a favor?"

Huh? In just a short while, she went from "Miss Nan" to "Xiao Xi"?

Nan Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, and said calmly:

"You said."

Fu Xuanjiu took a deep breath, considered his words for a long time, and then spoke nervously:

"Um, Xiaoxi, when you were treating me just now, I had a, uh... special feeling. I wonder if you felt it."

Nan Xi nodded.

Upon hearing this, Fu Xuanjiu breathed a sigh of relief, and then a smile as bright as spring flowers bloomed on his face, and his two rows of white teeth were sparkling.

Nan Xi: "..."

I felt a little dazed for a moment. I thought to myself, "Just say what you want to say, don't try to trick me with your beauty."

In fact, her resistance is not very strong.

Fu Xuanjiu said:

"I want to ask you, in the future, unless it is absolutely necessary, can you... can you not treat others like you treated me?"

Ok?

Hearing this, Nan Xi was a little confused.

Fu Xuanjiu quickly explained:

"I know this request is a bit excessive. Besides, it's the end of the world now, and there must be many people like me who need your treatment."

"But maybe I'm a little selfish - I don't want to share the feeling I just had with others." His voice was full of sincerity.

Seeing Nan Xi's silence, Fu Xuanjiu added:

"Of course, as compensation, I will quickly develop a method to combat the zombie virus. That way, you won't have to work so hard treating others one by one."

Nan Xi's heart moved.

What Fu Xuanjiu said, isn’t this exactly the result I want?

She wasn't some saint, much less a doctor, and she didn't have any noble aspirations to save the dying and the wounded, or to save the world. If it weren't for some strange coincidence, she wouldn't even want to come to this damn apocalypse.

The only reason he stayed here was to complete a mission. If he wanted to end the apocalypse within 50 years, he would have to rely on Fu Xuanjiu's research to find a way to combat the zombie virus.

However, this was Fu Xuanjiu's own proposal, so it doesn't count as enslaving labor.

Thinking of this, Nan Xi frowned and nodded seriously.

"Okay, then I'll agree to your request temporarily. However, I have one condition..."

"What conditions?"

When he heard Nan Xi agreed, a light flashed in Fu Xuanjiu's eyes.

As for the conditions Nan Xi mentioned, he really didn't take them seriously. Anyway, it was just what Nan Xi said, so he would try his best to do it in his lifetime.

"The condition is time,"

Nan Xi explained:

"You must develop an antidote to the zombie virus within 50, no, 30 years. Moreover, if you agree to this condition now, it will be permanent."

Nan Xi's voice suddenly became somewhat eerie:

"You've seen my methods."

"In other words, if you agree now and want to regret it later, you will pay the price with your life."

Fu Xuanjiu was stunned, but he did not feel the fear that Nan Xi had imagined.

Instead, he nodded solemnly: "I promise you that I will develop an antidote to the zombie virus within 30 years."

Nan Xi, who was smarter than several small worlds, didn't notice that a hint of cunning flashed in Fu Xuanjiu's eyes at that moment: he was going to do everything he wanted to do in these thirty years anyway.

As for the consequences of failure, he wasn't really worried.

Since it was Nan Xi's request, he would do his best to complete it. He still had confidence in his ability - if he really couldn't complete it, and Xiao Xi wanted his life, then he could take it.

Anyway, my life originally belonged to her, right?

He made money for thirty years.

If Nan Xi knew that Fu Xuanjiu had this unreliable idea at this time, she would have added a few more supplementary or restrictive conditions.

Unfortunately, Nan Xi didn’t realize that she would have to watch Fu Xuanjiu slacking off in the future.

The two happily reached a deal, and for a moment the air around them seemed to lighten up a bit. Nan Xi asked Fu Xuanjiu:

"Have you had breakfast?"

He had just woken up, so he probably hadn't eaten yet. Fu Xuanjiu shook his head: "Not yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach growled in protest at the right moment.

Nan Xi couldn't help but laugh: "Let's go, I haven't seen the breakfast in this base yet, let's go and take a look."
