Chapter 86 - Li Yan, Don’t You Think I’ve Grown Much Taller

n“Why are you still at my house?”

nAs soon as Chu Luo finished speaking, she received a cold gaze.

nLi Yan put down his teacup and coughed several times.

nHe was handsome to begin with, and as he wasn’t exuding a cold aura, his cough could immediately make one’s heart soften.

nChu Luo felt a little guilty when she thought about how she had deliberately let him soak in ice water for the entire night.

n“Then… then go back after dinner.”

n“It’s going to rain,” Li Yan suddenly said. Chu Luo looked at him with a dark expression.

nWhat had the impending rain got to do with him going back?

nLi Yan said lightly, “I got someone to send over a batch of precious herbs from the Changbai Mountains. The buyer recognizes only me. If you don’t want them, I can just get him to send them to my place.”

nWhen Chu Luo heard that someone had sent him a batch of precious herbs from the Changbai Mountains, her eyes lit up. She quickly walked up to him and said, “Why did he send them to you? You don’t even know how to refine medicine.”

n“I have many subordinates. There’s no shortage of people who know how to refine medicine.”

n“…” Chu Luo looked at the cold man and felt anxious. She pressed his shoulder to prevent him from really leaving.

n“No. Using modern instruments to refine these herbs will cause a lot of medicinal effects to disappear.”

nWith an unfathomable gaze, Li Yan looked at the little thing that was almost on top of him. He said in a voice that was hoarse from the cold, “I can give you those herbs too.”

nChu Luo was delighted, but looking at his cold face, she knew that he must have something else to say.

n“What do you want in exchange?”

nLi Yan didn’t answer that question. Instead, he said, “I have a cold.”

n“Mm?”

n“I asked the doctor. There are many ways to reduce a person’s temperature, but you deliberately chose the method of soaking me in ice water.”

n“Erm…” Chu Luo blinked and said seriously, “Your internal energy was in a mess because of the training. That was the most effective method.”

nLi Yan continued staring at her coldly.

nShe felt guilty again.

nChu Luo let go of his hand and took a step back. Without looking into his eyes, she said, “Then… I’ll help you treat your cold.”

n“Mm.”

nLi Yan stood up and walked towards the dining table.

nChu Luo looked at his back and thought about concocting a set of medicine later to ensure that he would recover from his cold by tomorrow morning after drinking it once. She wanted to see if he’d then have any excuse to talk about this in the future.

nAt the thought of this, she walked over as well.

nTonight’s dishes were divided into two groups. Li Yan’s side was filled with light dishes while Chu Luo’s side had meat and vegetables.

nThis body had been eating very well since she came. Recently, not only had she grown much taller, but she had also gained weight. Luckily, the clothes that the original Chu Luo used to wear were all loose. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to fit into them now.

nShe suddenly recalled Li Yan’s words and deliberately asked, “Li Yan, don’t you think I’ve grown a lot taller?”

nLi Yan continued staring at her coldly.

nChu Luo stuck her arm out for him to see. “And also, I’ve put on some flesh.”

n‘Hmph, you said that I don’t have any flesh on me. If this isn’t flesh, what is it?’

nLi Yan: “Too skinny.”

nWith that, he continued eating under Chu Luo’s displeased gaze.

nChu Luo looked at her arm and wondered in what way was she skinny. Suddenly, she saw that the pants she was wearing had gotten much shorter on her, and she wondered if she should buy some clothes online later.

nWhat made her most satisfied in this world was that she could buy anything online. Even without going out, someone could deliver anything to her.

nAfter dinner, Chu Luo ran back to the bedroom to retrieve her tablet and sat in the living room with Li Yan. She went online to buy clothes as she waited for the herbs merchant to bring the herbs here.

nMeanwhile, Li Yan attended a video conference meeting on his laptop while wearing his Bluetooth earpiece.

nChu Luo didn’t know where to buy clothes, so she searched online. Many people said that they bought clothes from a certain website.

nShe downloaded the Taobao1 app and was instantly shocked when she logged in.

n“That’s cheap.”

nAfter saying this, she quickly browsed through it. She would place an order for whatever caught her eye.

nLi Yan glanced at the webpage on her tablet then went back to what he was doing.

nJust as Chu Luo was engrossed in shopping, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was from Tang Zhiyun, so she answered the call.

n“Junior.” Tang Zhiyun sounded very worked up. “Has your account been hacked?”

nWhen Chu Luo heard this, she quickly logged in to take a look. “No.”

nThere was a moment of silence on the other side of the phone, followed by the sound of swallowing saliva. Then Tang Zhiyun asked again, suppressing his emotions, “Why did your account become level 99?”

n“Oh,” Chu Luo replied calmly. “I leveled up this afternoon.”

n“…”

n“…”

nWhile Chu Luo and Tang Zhiyun were silent, Xie Minghai and Yu Lei, who were beside Tang Zhiyun, had their jaws drop.

nXie Minghai snatched the phone from Tang Zhiyun’s hand. “Little Chuchu, how did you do that? You went from level 75 to level 99 in just one afternoon. You must know that the higher the level, the harder it is to level up.”

n“I went on an interstellar mission with Y and leveled up.”

n“…”

n“…”

nChu Luo replied, “If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up. I’m buying clothes right now. I’ll only be online at eight.”

nSeeing that there was no response from the other party, she didn’t mind and hung up.

nChu Luo didn’t know that after more than ten minutes of silence, the four people opposite her erupted.

n“D*mn, someone come and pinch me. Who did Little Chuchu say she did a mission with?” Xie Minghai extended his arm.

nYu Lei said, “I might have been too stressed these past few days so now I’m having hallucinations.”

nXu Qingfeng pushed up the glasses that had fallen on the bridge of his nose and looked at Tang Zhiyun. “Boss, what do you think?”

nTang Zhiyun looked serious. “It’s possible…”

nThese two words tightened their nerves.

nXie Minghai replied, “It’s possible we heard wrong?”

nYu Lei: “It’s possible that it’s not the legendary God Y but someone with the same game name as him.”

nXu Qingfeng adjusted his glasses and had to remind them, “Each username could only be registered once on ‘Battle of Lightyears.’”

n…

nThe four of them had great chemistry. Immediately, they unanimously pounced on the computer to look at the world news this afternoon.

n“No, there’s no news at all.”

n“Other than God Y, who else can block world news like that?”

n“Holy **!”

n“Holy **!”

n“Holy **!”

n“Holy **!”

nAt this moment, there were only these two words that the four could use to express their shock.

nOn the other side.

nAfter Chu Luo hung up the phone, she continued to shop. After buying more than ten sets of clothes, she stopped. Upon thinking that since she had bought clothes to wear on the outside, she should buy some undergarments too, she continued to shop.

nAt this moment, her phone rang again.

nIt was a call from Wang Mingtao.

nWang Mingtao’s reaction was even more intense. His words were like a cannon.

nSo much so that it made Chu Luo shift her phone away from her ear a little. She really didn’t understand why they were so agitated.

nAfter hanging up the phone, she couldn’t help but mutter, “Isn’t it just Y? What’s there to be excited about? After I defeat him, let’s see if you’re still excited after hearing his name.”

nAt this moment, Li Yan, who was in the midst of a video conference, suddenly glanced at her.

nChu Luo didn’t notice that and continued shopping.

nAt eight o’clock, Chu Luo went online on time.

nWhen the level 99 Bai Ling appeared in the game, the entire empire’s server exploded.

nOther than “What the f*ck!” no other words appeared on the World Channel.

nThe five of them had already formed a team.

nPerhaps because they’d had more than an hour to digest it, the other four looked calm.

nThey formed a team and did a mission. At eleven o’clock, their levels were all maxed out.

nCarefree Wanderer: “The empire’s selection rounds will start at eight o’clock tomorrow. Our team has yet to be named. Think quickly.”

nTurbid Liquor Glutton: “Unparalleled Fire.”

nDream Slayer: “Proud Sky.”

nIntoxicated: “Going All In.”

nCarefree Wanderer: “No, these names already exist. We have to think of an unregistered one. These are too ordinary.”

nThey came up with dozens of names in a row, but Tang Zhiyun denied them all.

nTurbid Liquor Glutton: “It’s too difficult! Why don’t we let Little Chuchu think of one?”

nChu Luo was also thinking about it when they were brainstorming about names. For some reason, she typed out two words.

nBai Ling: “Phoenix Skies.”

nThere was a moment of silence.

nCarefree Wanderer: “This name is not bad, but since we are a team, how about adding the word ‘Legend’ after Phoenix Skies?”

nTurbid Liquor Glutton: “Agreed!”

nDream Slayer: “Agreed!”

nIntoxicated: “Agreed!”

nSeeing that everyone had agreed, Chu Luo also agreed.

nCarefree Wanderer: “The Qualifying Competition is divided into regional competitions. Three days after that, it would be the National Competition. As for the finals, that will be held on the 24th and 25th. We don’t have to reveal much strength in the early stages. We just need to start exerting our strength in the finals.”

nCarefree Wanderer: “Most importantly, the 25th finals will end at 4 PM. We can also have a celebratory dinner together and wait for Junior’s college entrance examination results to be released at 8 o’clock on the next day.”

nAt the mention of the college entrance examination results, the four boys were even more excited than Chu Luo.

nAfter chatting for a while, the boys urged Chu Luo to go offline and sleep.

nChu Luo didn’t insist. She left the team and replied to Evil Dragon Crossing the River’s messages before logging off.

nShe looked up and saw Li Yan sitting beside her.

nShe then remembered that the herb merchant they were waiting for hadn’t arrived.

nChu Luo frowned. “Can the herb merchant get here tonight?”

nLi Yan looked up at the thunderous skies outside the door. “He’ll arrive tomorrow.”

nChu Luo also looked outside the door. “Alright, I’ll go to sleep, then.”

nShe then stood up to go upstairs with the game console but suddenly stopped to look at Li Yan.

nNoticing that his face was a little red, she asked, “Are you running a high fever?”

n“Mm.”

n“Have you gotten someone to concoct the medicine using the prescription I gave you?” She had been focusing on the game and didn’t know if he had taken his medicine.

n“Mm.”

nChu Luo muttered, “That’s strange. Since when does the medicine I prescribe have such weak effects?”

nLi Yan: “Maybe I soaked in ice water for too long. Cough, cough…”

nChu Luo felt guilty and stopped talking.

nQin Ming, who had been standing there like an invisible person, glanced over.
