Chapter 265: Comfort in Life, Support in Death
Li Xuan shook his head gently and wrote on the palm of Princess Ankang's hand with his tail.
"I just broke through last night, and I'm in good shape now."
After writing, Li Xuan grinned at Princess Ankang, full of confidence.
Seeing Li Xuan like this, Princess Ankang was relieved and reached out to touch Li Xuan.
"So, Xuan, your hair suddenly grew back because of the breakthrough, not because of Doctor Xue's ointment?"
Li Xuan nodded quickly.
To be honest, Doctor Xue's ointment is still somewhat useful. When applied to the hair-losing area, it will itch slightly and stimulate new hair growth, but the effect is a bit slow.
Judging from this ointment that promotes hair growth, Doctor Xue is still quite capable.
But the more capable Doctor Xue is, the more headache Li Xuan has.
He would rather Doctor Xue be a mediocre doctor, so that the previous diagnosis of Princess Ankang can be regarded as a misdiagnosis.
"It's just a pity..."
Li Xuan jumped onto Princess Ankang's shoulder, and then gently hooked her white neck with his tail.
Princess Ankang also closed the book in her hand and put it back in the house.
One person and one cat came to the bed, and Princess Ankang naturally took the posture of the swimming fish style.
Li Xuan watched Princess Ankang practice the movements of the swimming fish style, and his expression looked a little solemn.
"The movements are starting to become easier again..."
And the final result was just as Li Xuan expected.
Princess Ankang completed all the movements of the swimming fish style without blushing or panting.
The difficult movements of the swimming fish style were already easy for her, and the physical strength consumed was even more insignificant.
Under such circumstances, Princess Ankang naturally lost her previous sleepiness, and sat on the bed staring at Li Xuan.
Princess Ankang had experienced this once, and she didn't seem a little surprised, but just silently lowered her head and looked at her open hands.
Even Princess Ankang herself could not understand why the movements that were so difficult not long ago became so easy now.
She had only practiced a few times, and this happened again.
The first time this happened, Princess Ankang was very happy.
But now...
Li Xuan sighed silently and thought to himself:
"Three times, three times again."
He remembered very clearly that this was the seventh time he was preparing to absorb the coldness in Princess Ankang's body.
The ten tiger forms persisted three times, and the swimming fish form only persisted three times.
By the seventh time, the swimming fish form had lost its effect.
This also proved that Princess Ankang had perfected the swimming fish form and needed to practice a new technique.
Li Xuan, who had expected this, still felt a little frightened.
"It only takes three times to perfect a ninth-grade technique."
"After learning a new technique, the coldness in Ankang's body will be stronger, and his physical fitness will also be greatly improved."
"As long as I can hold on, Ankang has a promising future!"
Li Xuan's eyes lit up.
He meowed, jumped off the bed, and prepared to teach Princess Ankang a new technique.
Every time Li Xuan went to Qianxing Pavilion, he would record a large number of ninth-grade techniques, just to find one suitable for Princess Ankang to practice.
"Maybe one day, Ankang will be able to practice all the techniques in Qianxing Pavilion."
Li Xuan smiled in his heart, and then prepared to teach Princess Ankang a new technique.
But at this moment, Princess Ankang suddenly looked up and asked Li Xuan:
"Ah Xuan, if you teach me a new technique, will you be in danger?"
Li Xuan then realized that Princess Ankang's eyes had turned red unconsciously.
He met Princess Ankang's eyes, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then subconsciously moved his eyes away.
"Ah Xuan, I only have you and Sister Yu'er."
"Can you tell me the truth?"
Princess Ankang asked in a trembling voice.
Li Xuan took a deep breath and closed his eyes silently.
"I didn't expect that she would notice it."
"Alas——"
Princess Ankang has been delicate since she was a child, which has a lot to do with the environment she grew up in.
When Li Xuan absorbed the cold air for Princess Ankang for the fourth time, he encountered the first further outbreak of coldness and was almost frozen to death on Princess Ankang's belly.
He used his last strength to hide on the roof just to prevent Princess Ankang from seeing his dying appearance.
If Princess Ankang knew the risks and was unwilling to cooperate in the practice, Li Xuan would not force her.
But this is the only way Li Xuan can find to save Princess Ankang now.
Li Xuan looked at the increasingly strong coldness and could not be sure whether this method would work.
But this is all he can do.
And Princess Ankang's health is really getting better slowly.
When Li Xuan was incompetent, he could comfort himself that as long as he could stay with Princess Ankang and live a peaceful life, he would have no regrets.
But when he had the ability, he dared to face his truest thoughts.
He didn't want Princess Ankang to live past the age of 18.
In order to keep Princess Ankang alive, Li Xuan was willing to do anything.
Finally, he had someone who was willing to give everything, and Li Xuan didn't want to leave any regrets.
The warriors of the human race can pursue the peak of martial arts without regrets in their lives.
Li Xuan can also do it for Princess Ankang.
Because since he became a cat, he has always had the consciousness of "Li Xuan".
Therefore, Li Xuan still clearly remembers the little girl who lifted him up from the cold rain on that rainy day.
That day, Li Xuan's whole body was soaked in water, his eyes were not open yet, and he could only grope in the dark.
But the water gradually disappeared, and Li Xuan was choked by a few mouthfuls of rainwater. His lungs were like filled with ice chips, and the pain was unbearable.
He tried to breathe, facing the darkness in front of him, feeling the coldness around him and the pain in his body.
At that time, Li Xuan just thought that he had gone to hell, undergoing the punishment before reincarnation and washing away the sins of his life.
Although he didn't quite understand why he, as an ordinary person, had no merits or faults in his life, had to suffer such a crime.
Perhaps, a life that was too mediocre was a sin.
But when the voice of the little girl who held him up rang out, he realized that he had not gone to hell.
"Poor little cat?"
"Where is your mother?"
At that time, Princess Ankang's palm was still cold.
But Li Xuan, who was held up from the rain, still felt a burst of warmth from the bottom of his heart.
At that moment, he realized that he had turned into a cat.
When Li Xuan opened his eyes for the first time, he also saw Princess Ankang.
His life began with this little girl in front of him.
Li Xuan slowly opened his eyes like he did at the beginning, and looked at Princess Ankang, who was full of self-blame and worry on the bed.
"Meow."
Li Xuan called softly, nodded, and answered Princess Ankang's question honestly.
"Ah Xuan..."
Princess Ankang was about to say something, but Li Xuan shook his head, jumped onto the bed and snuggled up to her, rubbing Princess Ankang's hand with his tail.
Princess Ankang understood, silently stretched out her hand, and let Li Xuan's tail write words on her palm.
Li Xuan leaned his head on Princess Ankang's legs, lying comfortably, swinging the tip of his tail, and wrote down everything that had happened before, as well as his own guesses.
Princess Ankang silently stretched out her palm, feeling the words, her expression kept changing, most of which were heartache for Li Xuan and self-blame for herself.
She felt that if Li Xuan met a princess who was healthy and enjoyed wealth, he would not have to suffer with her like now.
But the last few words that Li Xuan wrote on Princess Ankang's palm made her burst into tears instantly.
"I don't want you to die."
"I want you to stay with me."
"Stay with me forever."
"Okay?"
After writing the last two words, Li Xuan silently opened his eyes and looked up at Princess Ankang, cautiously expecting her reaction.
But at this time, Princess Ankang had already cried bitterly, tears like rain.
"Ah Xuan, Ah Xuan..."
"I can't bear to leave you either!"
"I want to see you every day."
"I want to touch you every day."
"I want you to lick my hair every day."
"I want to hear you snoring in my ear every night."
"I, I..."
"I don't want to die!"
Princess Ankang hugged Li Xuan tightly and cried bitterly.
She has been cursed with a short life since she was a child.
Every night when she closed her eyes, she was uneasy, afraid that she would never wake up again.
Princess Ankang was afraid of the night falling every day.
She was not afraid of the dark, but she was afraid of the nothingness after falling asleep.
She felt that it might be the world after death.
Nothing can be seen, nothing can be touched, nothing can be felt...
Everything disappeared, even her own memories.
Every morning when she woke up, Princess Ankang didn't know how lucky she was.
She lived another day.
How optimistic Princess Ankang was during the day.
How sad she was when she fell asleep at night.
This is why Li Xuan always accompanied her to sleep.
At least with Li Xuan by her side, Princess Ankang would feel less uneasy when she slept.
Li Xuan felt the tears falling on his forehead, and his free tail gently wiped them for Princess Ankang.
In his memory, it seemed that this was the first time that Princess Ankang had so directly expressed her desire to live.
In the past, when she was not in good health, Princess Ankang always fell asleep.
She was afraid of her sleeping state, which always reminded her of death.
But her body at that time had to dormant for a lot of time to keep herself alive.
So, when Princess Ankang gradually recovered, she played crazier than anyone else.
Because, she finally didn't have to sleep for so long.
Just running around in the yard could make Princess Ankang feel the joy of being alive.
Seeing the little girl crying so hard, Li Xuan couldn't help but wet his eyes.
The crying in the room startled Yu'er outside.
Yu'er hurried in, shouting:
"Your Highness, Your Highness..."
When she came in and saw Princess Ankang crying while holding Li Xuan, she was even more anxious:
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah Xuan, what's going on?"
Yu'er was so anxious that she sat down by the bed and quickly comforted Princess Ankang.
Just seeing Princess Ankang crying so hard, she was also distressed.
"Sister Yu'er..."
Princess Ankang saw Yu'er coming, so she stretched out her hand and hugged her.
"Sister Yu'er."
"I, I don't want to die!"
Princess Ankang said with sobs.
Yu'er's heart ached immediately, and she patted Princess Ankang's back and said hurriedly:
"Your Highness will not die, you will not die!"
"Who is talking nonsense? I'll tear his mouth apart!"
"Your Highness will live a hundred years, and Ah Xuan and I will stay with you for the rest of our lives!"
The three little ones hugged each other and cried.
Thank you all for your monthly ticket support.
Let's cry together!
