Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xiao Ying naturally knew that she didn’t look too good now.
Just as she was about to find an excuse to smooth things over with, Cheng Yang came out with one for her.
She immediately pretended to be very hot and fanned herself with her hands.
“Yeah, it’s so hot.”
Cheng Yang smiled again. “You can turn on the air conditioner if it’s hot. You don’t have to save me this little money.”
Xiao Ying said awkwardly, “I’m embarrassed. I’m only a guest here.”
“It’s alright. I’ll ask the Xiao family to cover the electricity bill.”
Cheng Yang spoke as he turned on the air conditioner for Xiao Ying.
“Hurry up and get ready or breakfast will become lunch again.”
With that, Cheng Yang walked out the door.
Only Xiao Ying, whose face had turned red from Cheng Yang’s words, was left behind.
Having been interrupted by Cheng Yang, Xiao Ying instantly forgot about the danger just now.
She entered the washroom to take a look at herself in the mirror. She was drenched in cold sweat.
Fortunately, her expression was still normal.
It was reasonable to say that it was because of the heat.
But Xiao Ying had forgotten that her face was red because Cheng Yang had interrupted her.
Cheng Yang walked out of Xiao Ying’s room and closed the door for her considerately.
However, his gaze turned deep.
He had seen everything that had happened to Xiao Ying.

He was so worried that he wanted to lift the blanket to check on her.
Who knew that Xiao Ying would actually wake up?
And her body had returned to normal.
Cheng Yang wanted to treat what he saw as some wild hallucination, but Xiao Ying’s pale face made it look like she wasn’t fine.
Seeing that Xiao Ying was trying her best to hide what was going on, Cheng Yang did not expose her and even helped her cover it up.
Xiao Ying did not look ill.
Then why was this happening?
This girl’s secret was getting more and more interesting.
Cheng Yang seemed to have discovered a novel toy.
His eyes glittered with interest.
He wanted to slowly uncover her secrets.
Xiao Ying was washing up in her room when the amulet suddenly spoke.
“Master, until you finish learning the five beginner courses, you cannot learn the intermediate courses.”
Probably because he had just gone through an ordeal, the amulet’s robotic voice sounded a little choked.
“Why?”
Xiao Ying still had some lingering fear in her heart.
She wouldn’t try again without the amulet opening her mouth.
She wondered why the amulet hadn’t warned her before. Now it was doing so.
“Master, your soul is not strong enough. If you force yourself to learn, it will cause soul damage.”
“What will happen to me if my soul is damaged?”
“At best, you will lose part of your memory. At worst, you will become an idiot.”
She recalled the time she had felt her soul become thin.
It seemed that it was not an illusion. If not for the amulet, her memory would have been damaged.
“Why didn’t you say so before?”
“Master, I don’t know.”
The amulet’s words puzzled Xiao Ying.
Perhaps the amulet sensed something and explained to Xiao Ying, “I didn’t know before, but I suddenly gained some memories.”
Xiao Ying was even more confused.
Could there be a secret in the amulet?
She did not know what the amulet meant.
“Well, forget it. I’ll find out when I need to.”
Xiao Ying packed up and walked out of the bathroom.
The moment she stepped out of the bathroom, she felt dizzy.
She had to hold on to the door to stop herself from falling.
‘What’s going on?’
After that, Xiao Ying returned to normal.
“There’s no need to worry too much about the aftereffects of forcefully learning the intermediate course. You’ll be fine after some rest.”
Since that was the case, Xiao Ying didn’t take it to heart.
She went out and saw Cheng Yang already waiting at the dining table.
Xiao Ying’s expression was still a little unnatural, as if Cheng Yang had seen her in an embarrassing state.
She consciously sat opposite him.
Xiao Ying was about to speak when she suddenly felt that he was a little different.
She quickly covered her chest.
