Chapter 168 Or, how about we stuff it under the bed?
The room was eerily quiet, so quiet that Lu Li could even hear his own heartbeat.
Looking at the fox-eared girl lying quietly with her eyes closed on the bed, Lu Li felt like he was dreaming.
A living being, existing only in the celestial projections... even in the game of a past life.
The tragic character, who only briefly appeared in the background story, suddenly came to life in his room, on his bed.
Just as he had guessed.
Bai Heng... is really not dead.
She was sealed inside this knife.
That man.
He really...did it.
When everyone is in despair.
He left behind a final hope in his own way.
Looking at the girl who was still asleep in front of him.
Lu Li was deeply moved and could not calm down for a long time.
He didn't know how to describe his feelings at that moment.
Shocking?
Moving?
Or something else?
Lu Li didn't know.
All he knew was that he felt a genuine admiration for that "previous life" he had never met before.
That guy...
Although each time it ends in death, leaving him with a huge mess.
But for Kafka, for Kagami, and for Bai Heng, it's different.
He... truly deserves to be called a hero.
Lu Li sighed inwardly.
What a...incurable fool, gentle to the core.
Although he wasn't qualified to say such things.
However, Lu Li also knew that now was not the time for sentimentality.
Lu Li took a deep breath, trying to calm his surging emotions.
Then his gaze fell on Bai Heng, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
It should... be alive, right?
Ok.
The most important thing now is to find out what Bai Heng's current condition is.
Lu Li swallowed hard, then reached out and pinched Bai Heng's fox ears.
Hmm, warm and soft... No, no, that's not right.
Now is not the time to do this kind of thing.
Lu Li carefully extended his index finger and gently touched Bai Heng's nose.
What I felt at my fingertips was a faint but real warmth.
He's breathing!
Lu Li then moved her fingers down to Bai Heng's neck.
"Thump...thump...thump..."
Along with the warmth, I felt the throbbing of my pulse.
I can feel a heartbeat!
It really is alive.
Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Ok.
After all, it's better to be alive than dead.
However, looking at Bai Heng on the bed, Lu Li quickly realized an even more serious problem.
The person was saved.
and then?
What should he do?
We can't just let her sleep in our bed forever, can we?
Let's not even talk about the differences between men and women.
If March 7th or Sister Himeko find out, how will he explain it?
What if March 7th or Sister Himeko suddenly barges in...
Lu Li imagined that scene.
Scene 1
Lu Li, beaming, led Bai Heng to Ji Zi.
"Hi, Himeko-nee, let me introduce you."
"This is Bai Heng, the hero of the Immortal Ship who died seven hundred years ago, whom I just released from my sword."
Then... Himeko took out the weapon case with a big smile.
Lu Li died at the age of twenty...
Lu Li shivered.
No, no, we absolutely cannot let them find out.
Lu Liguang felt his scalp tingle just thinking about that scene.
After all, this isn't like the previous times I could just get away with it by saying it's because we share the same name.
This is truly a hero who died seven hundred years ago, and one of the Five Valiant Warriors of the Clouds.
At that point, not only will the Interstellar Peace Company be involved, but the Immortal Boat Alliance will probably have to send people over as well.
At that time...
Sister Himeko might actually pull out a railgun on the spot and blast him and his bed off the Star Train.
No.
Absolutely not!
He absolutely must not let anyone know about this until he has come up with a foolproof plan!
Lu Li's mind began to race.
First of all, we definitely need to hide Bai Heng.
But where can we hide it?
The train is only so big.
His own room was so small that you could see right through it.
Not to mention that March 7th and Xing Lao liked to run into his room.
With such an extra living person, it will be impossible to hide them later.
or……
Lu Li looked at Bai Heng on the bed.
...Should we put her back into the knife?
However, Lu Li rejected this idea as soon as it came to mind.
What a joke.
We finally managed to get them out, how could we possibly put them back in?
But then again.
Why did Bai Heng's knife disappear as soon as he was released?
Where's his knife?
After a moment of silence.
……never mind.
Lu Li sighed.
If it's gone, it's gone.
Anyway, it's worth trading a knife for a pretty fox girl.
Yes, Xianyu.
I will always remember you.
However, putting it back in the knife won't work, and leaving it openly in the room won't work either.
How about... we put it under the bed?
Lu Li glanced at the unsuspecting sleeping beauty on the bed, then looked under his own bed.
Uh.
Is it too perverted to make a girl, or even a hero who has just been "resurrected," sleep under the bed and eat dust?
Lu Li fell into deep thought.
Hmm, hiding it under the bed is definitely out of the question.
There's no windowsill here.
Then there's only one option...
Lu Li shifted his gaze to the wardrobe to the side and nodded.
Ok.
Then I'll just put it in the closet.
Wardrobes, under beds, windowsills—from classic movie scenes… ahem.
In short, at least you won't have to worry about Bai Heng gathering dust if you put it in the closet.
As for what to do next... let's take it one step at a time.
Lu Li sighed and resigned himself to his fate.
After all, it was my own fault for being so impulsive and accidentally bringing that person out.
Lu Li shook his head, walked to the bedside, bent down, and prepared to carry Bai Heng to the wardrobe next to him.
The only good news is that Bai Heng doesn't seem to be waking up anytime soon.
He was still thinking about how to explain himself to Himeko and the others... oh wait, no.
It's time for an explanation...
However, the moment Lu Li's hand touched Bai Heng's arm...
"Um……"
A soft, slightly lazy nasal sound suddenly came from Bai Heng's mouth.
Lu Li: "...?"
Lu Li lowered his head subconsciously.
Then... he saw the girl on the bed with her eyes tightly closed, her long eyelashes seemed to tremble slightly.
Lu Li: "..."
Holy crap?
Is she about to wake up?!
Sister, you can't wake up at this time!!!
Lu Li's heart jumped into his throat.
This...this is too fast.
After all, they've been asleep for seven hundred years.
He thought he would be unconscious for at least a day or two, giving him time to process what to do.
And now he's waking up after only a few minutes?
This is it!
He hasn't even come up with a decent explanation yet!
But as the saying goes...
Things can't get any worse.
Only... worse.
Just as Lu Li was at a loss as Bai Heng was about to wake up.
"Knock knock knock—!"
A series of urgent and forceful knocks on the door were accompanied by Himeko's anxious voice.
"Lu Li! Open the door!"
"Are you alright? What was that energy just now?!"
