Two-Faced Monster King - C366
Since Shui Qinan did not manage to find anything on the sea, she could only return. On the way back, she thought of the Dragonee’s words and changed her direction, heading straight to the Ling Residence. Shui Qinan arrived at the Ling Residence and snuck into Ling Meier’s courtyard. She hid herself in a tree within the courtyard, waiting for night to descend.
She saw that Ling Meier was very normal during the day, cultivating, playing, studying, nothing abnormal happened. Even her body was much better than when she left. Knowing that it was night, Shui Qinan finally noticed Ling Meier’s abnormality late at night.
When it was night time for Ling Meier to visit all the people on the island, she got up from the bed, put on her clothes and shoes absentmindedly. What Shui Qinan was more concerned about was that a large group of demons would gradually gather behind Ling Meier. Shui Qinan originally wanted to attack, but seeing that the demons did not attack Ling Meier, it was as if they were protecting her and walking around the island together with her.
Shui Qinan’s face did not look good as she looked at the strange scene while laughing. She observed Ling Meier’s situation and noticed that she did not seem to be clear-headed in the first place, so after walking for half an hour, the path she took would definitely lead her to a different street. This night, what Shui Qinan saw made her extremely worried.
After Shui Qinan returned to the Ling Residence, she saw that Ling Meier had returned to her bed and did not stand up again. Only then did she leave the Ling Residence in relief. The next morning, Shui Qinan went to the Ling Residence. She had an important matter to verify.
Shui Qinan knocked on the Ling Residence’s door. Seeing that her old uncle was Shui Qinan, she immediately opened the door and invited her in. Under the guidance of a servant, Shui Qinan arrived at the reception hall and saw Master Ling and the Madam Ling bringing Ling Meier over to welcome her.
Shui Qinan smiled and returned the greeting, her eyes looking at Ling Meier, thinking of the reason for her visit, she pretended to ask casually, “Little Pu’er, your spirits are a lot better now.” Hearing Shui Qinan’s words, Ling Meier replied with a sweet smile, “Mn, many thanks Aunt Shui.”
“Pu’er’s spiritual power has also increased by quite a bit. Look at your blushing face. You didn’t get to sleep last night, did you?” Ling Meier shyly covered her face and said, “No, I went to sleep early last night. I didn’t even get up for the night.” After hearing her answer, Shui Qinan was certain of it. However, she did not know how to resolve this situation for the time being.
“It seems that your sleep was very wrong. It seems that your body is much better than before.” Shui Qinan said without batting an eyelid. Shui Qinan picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and then said indifferently: “Pu’er, my tea is a little cold. Can you change it for mine?”
Ling Meier had always liked Shui Qinan, so she was naturally willing to help him. Ling Meier picked up her teacup apologetically. “Sorry, Aunt Shui, please wait for me to change your cup.” Ling Meier ran out.
Madam Ling smiled as she looked at Ling Meier’s leaving figure. She said with emotion: “My family’s Wu’er has lost a lot of weight after getting so sick, but her spirit is much better now. Her body is much stronger than before too, this can be considered a blessing in disguise.”
“Ah, Pu’er is much more spirited than before.” Shui Qinan said indifferently.
The Madam Ling looked at Shui Qinan with sincerity, and said with a slight tone of anxiety: “Does Miss have something to say this time, or is there a problem with Pu’er’s body?” Madam Ling was not an idiot. Shui Qinan’s words made her suspect him, and she was really afraid that Ling Meier would become as lifeless as before.
“Has Madam felt that something is amiss with Pu’er recently? “Like at night?” There were so many people in the Ling Residence, it was impossible for Ling Meier to not have come out for a night stroll without anyone knowing. If it wasn’t for Dragonee’s reminder, she still wouldn’t have known that Ling Meier would wander around the ocean world in the middle of the night.
“There is one thing. Recently, she has been starving and eating a lot.” At first, I also felt that there was something wrong with Pu’er’s body, but the doctors always said that she was in good health. Even if it was the alchemists in Nangong Academy, they would all tell Pu’er that nothing had happened to her. As for the night … “Pu’er went to bed early at night. The maidservants who serve her always say that she sleeps until the sun rises.” Madam Ling looked at Shui Qinan with some doubt, “Has Miss found something?”
Hearing this, Shui Qinan frowned, she was absolutely not mistaken last night, that person was definitely Ling Meier.
However, when Ling Meier left the Ling Residence and returned to the Ling Residence, no one in the Ling Residence discovered that Ling Meier had disappeared.
“I won’t hide it from Madam, last night I saw Xiao’er wandering aimlessly outside. Furthermore, I don’t think Xiao’er was wandering unconsciously.” Shui Qinan didn’t want to hide it from Madam Ling. After all, Ling Meier was her daughter and she had the right to know.
Madam Ling’s hand that was holding onto the teacup trembled, she looked at Shui Qinan in disbelief. Just now, Shui Qinan said that her daughter had not been conscious and had been wandering around outside last night, so how was that possible? How could the servants of the house let Ling Meier go out alone?
“And it shouldn’t be the first time.” What Shui Qinan did not say was that Ling Meier had attracted a lot of demons while she was wandering, she was afraid that the Madam Ling would faint.
Madam Ling’s face was pale.
Ling Meier carried a cup of hot tea and slowly walked in. When she placed the teacup in front of Shui Qinan, she heaved a sigh of relief. Ling Meier said as she waved her right hand. Madam Ling grabbed Ling Meier, and nervously looked at him from head to toe.
Ling Meier’s arm hurt from being grabbed by the Madam Ling. Ling Meier struggled to answer in a mystified voice, “Mother. What are you doing? ”
The Madam Ling realized that she had lost control of herself and smiled apologetically at Shui Qinan, pulling Ling Meier over and asking him: “Pu’er, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Shui Qinan also raised her head slightly to look at Ling Meier. As she blew the hot tea, she said slowly: “You have just recovered from your serious illness. If there’s anything that feels uncomfortable, you should tell your mother sooner, so as to prevent her from being worried.”
“What’s wrong with me? Mom, you’re worrying too much.” Ling Meier said while beaming.
Madam Ling opened her mouth, but in the end I didn’t say anything. I only stroked Ling Meier’s hair worriedly, and said gently: “If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you must tell Mother, ah, don’t carry the burden yourself.” The Madam Ling knew that it was impossible for Shui Qinan to lie to her. If Ling Meier didn’t have her consciousness wandering around outside, she would be afraid. What scared her even more was that if Shui Qinan didn’t tell her today, she definitely wouldn’t know about this!
