Chapter 612 Play Dumb
"Pfft!"
Xia Liu was immediately frightened by Yanzi's notion.
But what she said made a lot of sense.
Perhaps making Rose hate him more was even more beautiful than if she were to recover her memory.
Eventually, when his Divine Sense returned to normal, he could treat her amnesia and then take her home.
Huh.
Xia Liu actually felt that this idea was very good.
However, Yanzi was here, and she had asked him to bathe Rose, which was extremely unreasonable; perhaps she was testing him.
So, he absolutely could not agree.
"Yanzi, you should do this task; I'm going back to rest," Xia Liu thought for a moment, then finally shook his head and walked out of the room.
Watching Xia Liu leave so readily, a flash of light crossed Yanzi's eyes, and she finally locked the room door, leaving one to wonder what she intended to do.
After returning to his room, Xia Liu washed up briefly, then began to absorb Spiritual Energy to replenish his Dantian.
If someone reported him and things were to be exposed, wanting to leave would naturally require him to display his War Power.
At dawn, the sound of alarms echoed through the streets.
Xia Liu looked down from his window.
Down on the street, many police cars were patrolling.
And there were even armed squads roaming the streets.
Clearly, last night's incident at the Main Heart Castle had alarmed the higher-ups in Rome.
But those people didn't seem to have a specific target; they just patrolled the streets without checking pedestrians with photos or anything.
It seemed like last night's operations were very secretive.
Even if he had shown his face in the back hall, who would dare to report him?
With that thought, Xia Liu dressed neatly and went to the adjacent room.
His hand was poised to knock on the door.
But Xia Liu froze on the spot as it seemed Rose's voice was coming from within the room.
She was awake.
Yet, from her conversation with Yanzi, it seemed like she was still the Thousand Faces Rose who held a grudge against him.
Withdrawing his trembling hand, Xia Liu returned to his room and donned his black robe.
Thump, thump, thump...
Just then, his own door was knocked.
He opened it, only to find Yanzi there.
"Great God Red Dragon Shadow, Weiwei is awake, but she doesn't recognize you and doesn't remember anything about last night; so please, don't speak of it, or her head will hurt," Yanzi immediately cautioned upon meeting him.
"I understand," the face beneath the black hood was already bitter.
If he had wanted to be honest, why would he have put on this garment again?
"If it's not too much trouble, I think Weiwei needs some quiet," Xia Liu said.
"No, I must treat her, or she will suffer many complications, and even her Cultivation could regress," Xia Liu quickly responded.
Since Rose had already awakened, he must see her; no one could stop him.
"Alright, remember our agreement, do not reveal anything about last night," Yanzi cautioned for the last time before entering the room, knowing that Xia Liu insisted on seeing Rose.
Xia Liu nodded; he did not blame Yanzi, as she said this out of concern for Rose.
If his relatives or friends encountered a scoundrel like himself, he would naturally be very worried as well.
And to be extreme, he might even beat the person until his own parents wouldn't recognize him.
Entering the room, the first thing Xia Liu saw was an exquisite figure.
She was wearing a white bath towel, with sunlight spilling onto her smooth, fair shoulders.
Xia Liu suppressed the urge to salivate and calmed his quivering heart before he managed to reluctantly move his feet.
"Weiwei! The Great God Red Dragon Shadow says he's gonna boost your energy, take your strength to the next level!" Yanzi excitedly blurted out, not giving Xia Liu a chance to speak first.
"What? The Great God Red Dragon Shadow is going to help me enhance my cultivation?" Hearing this news, Rose immediately snapped back to reality and then fixed her gaze on the cloaked figure of Xia Liu, a wave of indescribable excitement fluttering around the room.
Uhm...
Watching Rose, whose eyes sparkled with joy and whose face was filled with excitement, a slight smile crept beneath the cloak.
She seemed really happy, but something felt off.
Was it her eyes?
Unable to figure it out, Xia Liu didn't concern himself with Rose's attire and promptly grabbed her wrist.
The Five Elements Mantra activated, and Spiritual Energy continuously flowed through the connection of their wrists into Rose's body, healing the injuries inside her.
"Great God Red Dragon Shadow, my body feels so hot! I..."
As she spoke, Rose started to lift her hand towards the towel, looking as though she was about to tear it off!
The sight before his eyes and the words in his ears made Xia Liu freeze, nearly forgetting to continue channeling Spiritual Energy.
"Weiwei! I'll fan you, just don't get too excited!" Seeing Rose about to tear off the towel, Yanzi immediately got worked up.
Others might not know Rose, but she did.
This girl was still a sheltered maiden, after all.
Yanzi had realized this when she was wiping her down the previous night.
So she had strong doubts about what Xia Liu had said earlier.
Think about it, Xia Liu was so young.
In every aspect, he definitely was brimming with youthful vigor.
If Rose had really tried to seduce him, how could he possibly have remained indifferent?
Rose's appearance was super beautiful.
If Xia Liu was lying, it would be extremely troublesome.
But no matter what, Yanzi wouldn't let Xia Liu see Rose in her current state.
"All right, I'll head back first." Just at the last moment, Xia Liu withdrew his hand and swiftly turned away.
He wasn't that kind of person, and even if he was, it would be only with the other party's consent.
Yanzi was so anxious, she must have misunderstood something about him.
The best proof was to hit the brakes in time, emanating a gentleman's demeanor.
After leaving the room, Xia Liu felt extremely relaxed.
Because he saw a healthy Rose.
And in that brief moment just now, he even recaptured the feeling of being alone at home with Rose before.
That was when Rose was using him as a model for her meridian chart...
At noon, there was another knock on Xia Liu's door.
This time, both Rose and Yanzi were there.
"Great God Red Dragon Shadow, we're preparing to head back. Are you going to stay here, or will you come with us?" Rose asked.
"Head back? Do you still remember what we came here for?" Xia Liu asked in return.
"Of course, we came for a mission. You probably don't know, but last night while I was sleeping, Yanzi sneakily completed the mission." Rose looked around, saw that no one was there, and then tiptoed to whisper into Xia Liu's ear.
"Pff!"
Xia Liu almost burst out an internal injury from shock.
All the credit had unexpectedly fallen on Yanzi's shoulders...
But it was probably for the best. At least Rose remembered the wager they had before, and by this account, it could be considered his loss.
"Where do you plan to go next?"
"We're planning to collect the reward, then return the Identity Cards, and after that we'll head back to Huaxia."
"Back to Huaxia, huh? I wish you a clean break ahead of time," Xia Liu sincerely wished them well.
"Great God Red Dragon Shadow, thank you for taking care of us these past few days. I don't know if you have any free time, but you can come play in Huaxia with us, unwind a little," Rose said with a light smile.
