After Fu Ling learned the purpose of the two coming to find her and heard that her boyfriend was safe, she immediately let out a sigh of relief. Even her tone became much calmer, no longer as timid as before.
"Thank you for saving Wu Li."
"I was originally a landscape painter. I met Wu Li because of work, and we traveled to many places together."
As Fu Ling spoke, a brilliant light flickered in her slightly weak eyes, as if this was one of the few treasures in her life.
But as she continued, her tone gradually fell, and the light in her eyes was covered by a layer of thick gloom.
"But half a year ago, I fell seriously ill. It became harder and harder for me to move, and I could no longer go on adventures and sketch with him like before… Wu Li turned down all his commissions and went everywhere to seek medicine and treatment for me."
"Even though every time… it ended in failure, he never gave up. But two weeks ago, he brought me to Hongzhen and told me he was going to give me a surprise."
"Then he disappeared for seven days…"
"Seven days?"
Rover frowned. According to what Wu Li said, he had only entered the mountain for half a day, and it had only been two days since the temporal disorder at Mt. Firmament ended.
But Fu Ling said they had arrived two weeks ago…
If Fu Ling and the others had set out for Mt. Firmament while the temporal disorder hadn't ended yet, then a difference in time could still be understood.
But according to Fu Ling, it had already been seven days since Wu Li entered the mountain, while Wu Li himself said it had only been half a day.
Rover turned his head and saw Rover casting the same puzzled look at him.
Almost at the same moment, the two realized, if neither Wu Li nor Fu Ling was lying, then there must have been something strange about the cave Wu Li was in at that time.
However, compared to investigating the abnormality of the cave, Rover looked at Jue, who had been forcibly dragged over by Rover to work overtime.
"Jue, can you help treat this girl's body?"
Having been fed dog food the entire way, Jue pouted when she heard this. On the way, you two were all lovey-dovey and forgot about me, but when it's time to work, you suddenly remember me.
Sure enough, Jinhsi was right, men are all big pig trotters.
To Rover's surprise, Jue only gently shook her head.
"At my peak, I might have been able to do it, but now my power has been shared with Jinhsi. I can't use the power of time sequence to treat her."
The hope of life vanished in an instant. Fu Ling's gaze did not change, as if she had already accepted the fact that she would soon die from her illness.
"Is there really no other way?"
Footsteps sounded from beneath Rover's legs, which were wrapped in black boots, and gradually moved to Fu Ling's side.
The unconcealed envy in Fu Ling's eyes earlier had naturally fallen into her sight.
If she put herself in her place, if Rover were about to die of illness before her eyes…
Thinking of this, Rover's delicate body trembled slightly. She quickly shook her head, throwing the thought out of her mind.
Since the big boss had spoken, as a qualified working dragon, Jue naturally had to think of a solution. Her big eyes blinked again and again before she looked at Rover.
"It's not like there's no way at all."
"Then say it quickly, stop keeping us in suspense."
Jue gave a mysterious smile, her gaze falling on Rover's right hand. She pointed at him and said loudly,
"If you want to treat this girl's body, in all of Jinzhou, right now, you're the only one who can do it."
"What!?" Rover's amber-like eyes widened.
"Although I don't know the reason, but…" Jue said as she once again held Rover's right hand, and in front of everyone, opened her small mouth and directly took his finger into it.
That familiar softness wrapped around Rover's fingertip again, carrying a hint of moisture as it slowly slid along the lines of his finger.
The canine teeth in her mouth brushed against his knuckle unintentionally, stirring an itch that made one's heart restless.
As the saying goes, the five fingers are connected to the heart. Warmth traveled from his fingertip along his meridians to his chest, making Rover's heart tremble slightly.
As a physically healthy and mentally sound man, Rover had to do his best to keep his facial expression from completely collapsing while also constantly soothing his "second brother."
Although his "second brother" was invincible under heaven, he still had to avoid ending up like losing at Maicheng, didn't he?
Of course, all of this naturally fell into Rover's eyes. Although she felt somewhat dissatisfied, she pressed her lips tightly and didn't say a word, while fiercely glaring at him.
It was just that this glare carried a bit of resentment within it.
Fu Ling, who had never seen such a scene before, immediately raised her hand and tightly covered her eyes. But her surging curiosity made her fingers secretly leave a small gap. She didn't dare to look, yet still wanted to.
A moment later, Jue finally released Rover's finger.
As her rosy lips slowly pulled away, a glistening thread connected her and Rover's finger, shining with a dazzling light under the sunlight.
"Hiss!"
Rover could no longer hold back and was about to explode…
"Although I don't know the exact reason, Rover's right hand has now become a unique container on Solaris."
Hearing Jue's words, Rover had no choice but to suppress the urge to grab this little perverted dragon and refine her on the spot. Her small nose wrinkled slightly in dissatisfaction as she let out a cold snort.
"What do you mean?"
Feeling the thick, sticky sourness in the air, Jue felt like she wasn't as afraid of Rover anymore.
"Earlier, in my domain of sound, Rover's right hand was broken and then reconstructed. Originally, his physique was already special. After adding the power of time sequence, it produced some… immeasurable changes."
At this moment, Jue was immersed in thought, completely unaware that the red text that had long hovered above Rover's head had, without her noticing, appeared above her own.
"Just now, I tried to draw power from his right hand, and then tried to inject some time sequence power back in… I found that his right hand is like a small black hole."
"Any power sinks into it like a stone into the sea, yet the process of drawing power from it is completely unobstructed…"
Hearing this, a term suddenly appeared in Rover's mind, "Mana replenishment."
But unlike simple mana replenishment, his right hand could now not only replenish mana, but also absorb it.
It's just… how to put it, Rover never thought that one day, besides his inherited way of fiercely injecting magic power, he would actually have another method of replenishing mana.
And replenishing while absorbing, could that be considered sustainable development?
He then gave Fu Ling a strange look, then glanced at Jue, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "So, you mean you want me to cuckold Wu Li?"
Before Rover could finish speaking, Jue gave him a hard knock on the head.
"You filthy pervert, what are you thinking? What I mean is, later I'll find a way to open a path to Fu Ling's domain of sound. Only your right hand can cut off the fate that she is destined to die from illness."
"Huh? Cut what? Since when can physical damage cut off philosophical concepts?"
"You'll know when the time comes."
Jue only gave a mysterious smile, feeling the subtle changes within her body, and had no intention of explaining further.
