Chapter 157: If I Give It to You, It’s Yours

It’s already so late. Who’s not asleep? ”

Chu Nan stopped his Internal Breath in shock and got out of bed to open the door. He discovered that it was Chu Xiaoxi standing outside the door.

“Brother, aren’t you asleep?”

“I should be the one asking you this, right?”

Chu Nan sized her up in confusion and discovered that although she tried her best to pretend to be calm, her expression contained an irrepressible anxiety and a trace of panic. There seemed to be tears at the corners of her eyes as if she had just cried.

“I… I can’t sleep.” Chu Xiaoxi bit her lip lightly and lowered her head, “Brother… can… can I sleep with you tonight?”

“Huh?”

If not for the fact that it was extremely quiet outside, even with Chu Nan’s enhanced hearing after his Overlord Body increased, he would almost not be able to hear the whispers of Chu Xiaoxi.

However, it was precisely because he heard it clearly that he could not believe his ears.

A long time ago… at least ten years ago, he and Chu Xiaoxi had once slept on the same bed.

However, after the two of them grew up and Chu Xiaoxi became slightly more sensible, they went to sleep separately and never slept together again.

When Chu Xiaoxi really matured and became a big girl, it would be even more impossible.

Moreover, Chu Xiaoxi’s relationship with Chu Nan had never been good. They always fought together, so how could she make such a request to him?

What was wrong with this girl today?

Chu Nan looked at Chu Xiaoxi in confusion, but he saw that she had her head lowered and even her neck was about to turn red. Clearly, she felt that her request made her feel extremely shy.

However, she still stood on the spot and waited for Chu Nan’s answer. Her feet did not move.

Chu Nan thought for a moment and stepped aside.

“Alright, come in.”

Chu Xiaoxi seemed to have been relieved of a burden and exhaled. She raised her head and smiled at Chu Nan before quickly walking into the room. Then, she jumped onto the bed and entered the thin blanket to wrap herself tightly.

Chu Nan looked at Xiaoxi who only revealed her head on the bed in confusion.

Although the air-conditioner was on and the temperature was not as high as outside, it should not have made her wrap herself so tightly, right?

When he got closer, Chu Nan was stunned.

Chu Xiaoxi, who was wrapped in a thin blanket, was clearly trembling non-stop. The smile on her face was very forced.

“Xiaoxi, are you… afraid?”

“Who… who’s afraid?” Chu Xiaoxi retorted.

Chu Nan shook his head and climbed into the bed before lying down beside her.

Feeling the temperature beside Chu Nan, Chu Xiaoxi’s body gradually stopped trembling.

After a while, Chu Nan heard her breathing finally calm down.

“Brother, I… I had a nightmare just now.”

Chu Nan turned around and looked at Chu Xiaoxi who had also turned her head. He could see a trace of fear in her eyes.

“What did you dream about?”

“I dreamed just now… I dreamed that the guy who could instantly grow fat had come back to life. There was a huge hole in his body, and his intestines were flowing out. He even chased me with all his might, saying that he wanted to grab me, and then… and then…”

Chu Xiaoxi’s body trembled again and she could not continue.

Chu Nan sighed in his mind and flipped around before patting Xiaoxi.

“Don’t be afraid, he’s already dead. Didn’t you confirm it yourself that day?”

“I know. But… but I… I’m still afraid…”

“I’m still afraid.” Chu Nan smiled and pinched Chu Xiaoxi’s face, “Who said that you’re not afraid?”

He felt a little regretful. He really should not have let Chu Xiaoxi confirm the death of that transformed man. In the end, he had left a psychological trauma in her.

“I…”

Chu Xiaoxi glared at Chu Nan, but she suddenly lowered her head and entered his arms. She hugged him tightly.

Chu Nan’s body froze before he did not know whether to laugh or cry.

The last time Chu Xiaoxi hugged him like a spoiled child was at least ten years ago.

“Alright, that guy is dead. It’s impossible for him to find you. Don’t be afraid, sleep well.” Chu Nan comforted Chu Xiaoxi and gently patted her back as if he was coaxing a child.

This current appearance made him recall the era more than ten years ago when Chu Xiaoxi was still ignorant.

When his parents went to work and only Chu Xiaoxi and him were left in the house, every time Chu Xiaoxi was afraid to cry, he, her brother, would do this to comfort her.

After slapping it a few times, Chu Xiaoxi’s body finally stopped trembling again. Then, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Chu Nan with a serious expression.

“Brother, I want to practice martial arts too!”

“Ah?”

…

The morning in the southern hemisphere of the North Gazing Planet was especially fresh and natural. When one breathed in the green and wild fragrance that drifted with the wind, their entire body would feel refreshed.

Zheng Yuanlin heaved a long sigh and opened his eyes. He discovered that the entire world in front of him had become even clearer and more colorful than before he entered his meditative state. The levels were clearly distinguished, and a trace of joy could not help but arise in his heart.

His persistent cultivation over the years finally brought about results.

The current him was already only a step away from breaking through to the initial-stage Heaven Control Realm.

After becoming a second-stage Heaven Control Realm Martial Artist, he would not be like now where he could only barely break through the atmosphere with his body and truly possess the ability to inject cosmic energy into his body and fly freely in the sky.

He had long hoped that he could one day look at the planet under his feet through his physical body in space, but he had always been unable to fulfill this wish because his strength was insufficient.

Now that it was finally possible, how could he not be happy?

Just as he was savoring this trace of joy, a communication request suddenly came from his personal terminal.

Zheng Yuanlin lowered his head and discovered that this communication request was actually from someone he did not expect at all.

“Senior Zheng, good morning.” Zheng Yuanlin picked up the call and Chu Nan appeared on the virtual screen, “It seems that the place you’re staying at is about the same as my house. It’s all in the morning.”

Zheng Yuanlin smiled and nodded, “Yes. However, from the sunlight behind you, you should have woken up a few hours earlier than me. From the looks of it, your injuries seem to have completely healed?”

“Yes, I’m completely fine.” Chu Nan bent his arm and made a powerful posture, “In addition, I’ve already returned home and am no longer on West Cloud Planet.”

“Yes, I know. I heard that you plan to apply to Star Cloud Academy?” Zheng Yuanlin asked again.

Chu Nan was stunned, “How did you know?”

Zheng Yuanlin smiled and did not answer.

How did he know?

Clearly, he had specially asked around.

In fact, even if he had returned to the North Gazing Planet, he would still pay attention to Chu Nan’s situation from time to time.

When he knew that Chu Nan had completely recovered from his injuries, he was really happy for him.

This extremely talented youth who could not obtain a complete inheritance when he was young, even though it was almost impossible for him to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate in the future and become a powerful martial artist, at the very least, he should be allowed to live normally as an ordinary person.

Later on, after knowing from West Cloud Academy that Chu Nan had chosen to leave West Cloud Academy in order to register for Star Cloud Academy, his admiration for him increased.

Such a young man who was unwilling to admit defeat easily was naturally likable.

Although his decision to register for Star Cloud Academy was clearly out of spite, when he recalled his teacher’s previous actions, Zheng Yuanlin could not have any thoughts of mocking Chu Nan’s decision for overestimating his ability. Instead, he was filled with regret.

If not for his teacher’s promise, Chu Nan would probably not have such an idea.

If not for the promise he had made in front of him, Chu Nan would not have fought so hard against Maruk in the semi-finals of the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition.

Although this was Chu Nan’s promise, Zheng Yuanlin still felt sorry for him.

Seeing that Zheng Yuanlin did not speak, Chu Nan did not continue to dwell on this problem and said with a serious expression, “Senior Zheng, I found you this time because I want to make a request to Mu Yutong. I hope you can help me inform the Supremacy.”

“Oh? What request? Tell me.” Zheng Yuanlin was a little surprised.

Although he had only seen Chu Nan twice and did not have much contact with him, he could tell that Chu Nan should be a young man with a very high self-esteem and would not easily come to ask for help.

“It’s like this…”

After Chu Nan finished speaking, Zheng Yuanlin was silent for a long time.

Just as Chu Nan thought that Zheng Yuanlin was unwilling to help pass the message, he suddenly sighed.

“Sigh, I didn’t expect the reward to bring you so much trouble. This is my oversight.”

Chu Nan was a little puzzled.

This Wind God’s Forest Crossing Leg Technique was given to him by Mu Yutong. His negligence had nothing to do with Zheng Yuanlin.

Zheng Yuanlin smiled again.

“Chu Nan, actually, you don’t have to ask for my teacher’s approval regarding this matter. Since he’s rewarded you, it’s already yours. It’s up to you how you want to deal with it. He won’t have any objections.”

Chu Nan was immediately overjoyed, “Really?”

“Really.” Zheng Yuanlin nodded seriously.
