NOVPUB"You didn't sleep all night?"
Early in the morning, Han Muxue came to the living room and saw Shen Mochen's slightly red eyes, expressing concern in her tone.
"I'm going to sleep soon," Shen Mochen said.
Although a crisis had been resolved last night, there was no guarantee there wouldn't be a second one, so he had kept watch until dawn before plugging in the alarm.
"Where's the captain?"
"She took the first half of the night, and I took the latter half," Shen Mochen stood up, "You all should be awake by now; I'll go get some rest first."
Returning to his room, he saw Liu Chaoyan lying on his bed, half-covered with the quilt, her white tank top fallen off her shoulder, revealing a hint of her full chest, her hair somewhat disheveled.
"Back already?" Liu Chaoyan smiled lightly.
"You, sleepwalking again..." Shen Mochen didn't know where to look.
"I came here in the morning."
Liu Chaoyan slowly sat up, gathered her long hair, and pulled up her tank top,
"Is it that good-looking," Liu Chaoyan teased with a smile, yet did not shy away.
"I didn't mean to look..." Shen Mochen, caught red-handed, turned his face away, "If you weren't sleepwalking, why would you sleep here!"
"To warm the bed for you, to let you sleep more soundly."
Liu Chaoyan yawned, winked one eye, and pulled away the quilt.
"How could this be restful, it would only make it more exciting!" Shen Mochen couldn't help but complain, immediately feeling he had spoken out of turn.
Not good, he was so sleepy from staying up all night that he had blurted out the absolute truth.
"Really, would you like me to help you then? Just like what that Princess Roman did for you."
Liu Chaoyan's gaze curved, as pure as a white lotus yet adding a touch of amorousness. 𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om
Are you going to use your foot too? Shen Mochen couldn't help but let his gaze drift to Liu Chaoyan's delicate jade-like feet.
Liu Chaoyan raised an eyebrow, her tone even more playful: "So she did it with her foot... That capricious princess is truly bold..."
"I can't believe you tricked me again!" Shen Mochen bit his lip in frustration.
Darn, he was still too sleepy, and he had left too many openings.
"Hehehe, don't be mad, I just want to know how far you two have gone." Liu Chaoyan smirked, lifting her foot towards Shen Mochen, "The Alexandrov Family is traditionally a True God Sect family, at least that's what they claim, so they wouldn't allow their daughter to lose her virtue before marriage. If she wanted to protect you, then she definitely wouldn't go all the way with you when she left that day. But she's so willful, she must have done something... I'm really curious."
"Why are you so curious about what she would do?" Shen Mochen asked, struggling to maintain the conversation.
"Indeed... Hey, did you gain a new superpower? I heard last night's battle was quite strange, everyone passed out, yet no one died..." Liu Chaoyan didn't answer Shen Mochen's question, but instead raised another.
"Just let me sleep, I'm really dying of sleepiness!" Shen Mochen lamented.
He knew his current state was terrible, full of vulnerabilities, and his only option was to say nothing at all. Darn it, he still got played. Was him staying up last night part of Liu Chaoyan's plan too?
"No, you've been so wary of me lately, now is the only time I can ask about some things I'm curious about." Liu Chaoyan spoke as if her reasoning was obvious.
"You dare not let me finish sleeping before talking!"
"I don't dare, if you don't answer me, I won't let you sleep."
"Just let me go, I really can't take it anymore..." Shen Mochen lamented with a crestfallen face, "I do, I do! I want to sleep!"
"Um... it seems that a woman can awaken different superpowers in you..." Liu Chaoyan stated lightly.
"I rely on you to guess that!" Shen Mochen began to give up struggling.
"What's the condition, can I help you awaken superpowers?"
"No!"
"Why?"
"Because you don't love me enough!"
Liu Chaoyan was momentarily taken aback before smiling and nodding, "I see... So, I think, for you to awaken superpowers, the woman's appearance must also be one of the conditions... Hmm, I suppose the triggering condition must be kissing."
Shen Mochen shivered in disgust and knelt weakly on the ground, "Great sage, please retract your divine power, have you sneak peeked at God's script!"
"Guessed right again?" Liu Chaoyan lightly stepped on Shen Mochen's head, "Please don't misunderstand, I neither have the Mind Reading Technique nor have I peeked at someone's script, these are all my speculations. You see, if simply causing a woman to fall in love with you could awaken superpowers, then at this moment, you should be out there leaving a string of heartbreaks with your ability to effortlessly seduce countless women. If I'm not wrong, the superpower you just awakened is related to Han Muxue. Han Muxue has always been utterly devoted to you, so there must be other triggers. You two have been together for so long, what haven't you done... so the only thing left must be kissing. Don't get it wrong, I don't monitor you around the clock, it's just that she has always been very insecure and has gotten together with you through improper means, so she certainly wouldn't have kissed you before. And, you firmly stated that I cannot help trigger your superpower, so you must have proven it. The only thing Han Muxue hadn't done to you before her vacation that I did is probably just one."
"You... you're really the devil!" Shen Mochen was dumbfounded, completely convinced by Liu Chaoyan's slyness.
He knew that what Liu Chaoyan said was only speculation, yet his reaction affirmed the guess. Of course, he couldn't blame anyone else—after all, he was the one who was outplayed!
"That's too much, in your mind I should clearly be an angel!" Liu Chaoyan playfully massaged Shen Mochen's head with her toes.
"You're right about everything, can I go to sleep now..." Shen Mochen gave up all resistance, on the verge of tears.
However, Liu Chaoyan did not let Shen Mochen off the hook just yet: "I actually have some good news to tell you."
Shen Mochen was in disbelief, "What good news could there possibly be!"
"I have a friend who will come over in the next few days."
"To our station? Also a Superpower User?"
"Also a male Superpower User, oh, I invited him to treat Han Muxue."
"Can he heal Han Muxue's leg?"
"I've heard he can't, it's been too long, but..." Liu Chaoyan shook her head, "with your amplification, it should be possible, right?"
"Is he trustworthy?" Shen Mochen was stunned for a moment.
Liu Chaoyan smirked playfully: "He's my lapdog, normally quite reliable... I know what you're planning, but I suggest you don't try it. If he can't save Yin Caiyu, that's manageable, but if he can, then I'm not sure he'd remain trustworthy. After all, resurrection is a privilege of God."
Shen Mochen fell silent for a moment, "Well, that works, bring him over first and let's heal Muxue."
"That's fine, but I have one condition," Liu Chaoyan said with a slight smile.
"You're still in the mood to bargain with me at this time?" Shen Mochen could no longer restrain himself, "Spit it out, what's the condition!"
"Be my teacher, teach me to kiss."
Liu Chaoyan stepped forward, holding Shen Mochen's face in one hand, her eyes twinkling like a freshly thawed spring.
