Chapter: Chapter 284
“Damn, my head hurts.” As the morning sun sneakily slipped into the girl’s room and woke her from her deep sleep, the girl felt as if her head had been hit hard by a hammer.
She was in pain and dizzy, and she didn’t know if she had been ambushed by something that night.
She lifted the covers and carefully climbed out of bed. She had barely been standing for a few seconds before she fell back onto the bed. Forget it, in her current state, she was sure to fall over every few steps.
She might not even be able to get up after falling. If her sister or that white-haired person saw her, how could she show her face? It was better to stay in bed like this and wait for someone to serve her.
However, it seemed like no one would come today. Kira had gone to school with Xiaoya, and Bai Ling should have her own things to do. She was the only useless person staying at home, unloved.
Sigh, it made her feel incredibly sad just thinking about it.
“You there, help me call two maids,” Leticia called out to the air.
She knew that Dengli was always by her side. If she had any requests, she could just call out to the air, which was very convenient.
Dengli immediately walked in from outside the door. Seeing Leticia sitting on the bed with a bad complexion, she asked with concern, “Your Majesty, are you alright?”
Am I alright? Of course not!
Leticia shook her head. “Not at all, I’m dizzy and my vision is blurry.”
She had just checked herself and found nothing wrong with her body, except that her spiritual power was depleted a bit severely. Dizziness and blurred vision were classic symptoms of over-expenditure of spiritual power.
So, the problem was, she hadn’t used any magic these past few days, so how could her spiritual power be depleted?
For the Demon King’s spiritual power to be depleted, she would at least have to fight to the death with someone of the same level.
Unfortunately, in the current situation, Leticia didn’t have anyone of the same level to fight to the death with.
Bai Ling was temporarily on her side, and as for the gods, those mysterious guys, Leticia couldn’t even find out where they were.
“My spiritual power is over-expended… how was my sleeping posture last night?” Leticia asked Dengli.
Dengli immediately put on a serious and earnest expression. Was she the type of person who would peek at His Majesty while she slept?
“Your Majesty, I’ve always stayed outside the door, so I don’t know what your sleeping posture is like.”
“Really?” Leticia showed a skeptical expression.
“Of course it’s true. I’m different from others,” Dengli replied righteously. “That’s why Miss Xue’er believes me.”
Looking at the serious Dengli, Leticia nodded. It seemed Dengli wasn’t lying.
If Dengli had that kind of hobby, then she would know if she had nightmares or something last night.
“I’ll lie down and rest for a while longer. You go call two maids,” Leticia waved her hand, signaling Dengli to go call someone quickly.
“Understood!”
…
“What is this…” When Bai Ling walked into Leticia’s room with dark circles under her eyes, she saw a girl lying on the bed with a white towel covering her forehead, looking very weak.
If she hadn’t seen this energetic girl yesterday, Bai Ling would have thought that this girl was naturally so frail.
She looked sickly. What had happened after she left yesterday?
“Don’t look at me, I don’t know what’s going on either. I woke up like this,” Hearing Bai Ling’s voice, Leticia laboriously lifted her eyelids and looked in the direction of the door. “If you have something to say, say it quickly, I’m very tired.”
“It’s nothing too important, it’s just about those people who have fallen asleep.” Bai Ling walked in front of Leticia and sat on the chair that had just been moved by the maid. “The number of people who fell asleep last night has decreased a lot. I don’t know if it’s a normal fluctuation or what.”
“What’s the use of telling me this?” Leticia helplessly raised a hand and gave Bai Ling a middle finger. “I’m about to die.”
“But I still have to let you know,” Bai Ling said aggrievedly. “Speaking of which, those people who have fallen asleep have been dreaming. I don’t know what’s going on.”
“Of course, people who are asleep will dream. And it’s possible that this is the work of the Dream God mentioned by the Ancestor. It’s normal for the Dream God to make people dream.” Leticia remembered that she had told Bai Ling about the Ancestor’s words a few days ago. “What you need to figure out now is what exactly the Dream God wants to do.”
However, not being able to figure it out was the main problem.
If she could figure it out, Bai Ling would have done it long ago and wouldn’t have waited until now.
But the Dream God didn’t even have a shadow. The only thing that told everyone was the increasing number of people falling asleep every day, indicating that a viper hidden in the darkness was waiting for an opportunity, ready to leap out of the darkness and bite humanity.
The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. All humanity could do was passive defense.
“I’m thinking, if that god really controls the authority of dreams, is she accumulating power by making more and more people fall asleep?” Leticia said her guess to Bai Ling, enduring the headache. “There’s a rather cruel method, you should know it, right?”
The Dream God wanted to cause trouble. Those who had fallen asleep might be her batteries or reserve energy. Even the Dream God’s power might be supported by these people.
If the number of these people decreased, wouldn’t it hinder the Dream God’s pace of causing trouble?
“No, we haven’t figured out the other party’s purpose yet. If we use such a method rashly, no one will agree.” Bai Ling knew what Leticia meant, but it wasn’t something she could decide. And if she were to decide, she wouldn’t make such a decision.
Things hadn’t escalated to the point of no return yet.
“I’m just making a guess. As for the specifics, it’s up to you.” Leticia yawned. “Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’m going to sleep.”
“Okay, then get some good rest. I may not be at home for the next few days, so I’ll leave Xiaoya in your care.” Bai Ling nodded and stood up from the chair.
Leticia glared at Bai Ling. In her current state, Xiaoya would be more than capable of taking care of her, yet Bai Ling wanted her to take care of Xiaoya. Was she kidding?
“Do you think this is how I look like I can take care of others?”
“I believe that with your recovery ability, you will recover quickly.” Bai Ling gave her a look of “I believe you can do it,” which made Leticia want to jump out of bed and punch her.
“Get out, get out, get out!” Unfortunately, her current state couldn’t support such strenuous exercise, so she could only retaliate verbally.
After driving away the annoying white-haired person, Leticia closed her eyes and waited in a daze for her sister to return from school.
Kira returned around the same time as yesterday, during lunchtime. When she saw Leticia lying in bed looking like she was about to die, her expression was quite remarkable.
“Sister, are you alright?” Kira quickly ran to her sister’s side and grabbed her hand with some panic. “Are you going to abdicate? Don’t leave me alone!”
The maids who were surrounding Leticia and taking care of her immediately showed expressions of admiration. Only Princess Kira dared to say such things.
Hearing this, Leticia was quite annoyed. She raised her hand and lightly hit her sister’s forehead (it was the most strength she could muster right now). She said helplessly, “Don’t worry, I’m not going to die yet.”
“That’s good, I thought that mess would fall on me.” Kira breathed a sigh of relief. “So what’s wrong with you, Sister?”
“Good question, I also want to know why my spiritual power exploded like this after a night’s sleep.” Leticia stated that she also wanted to figure out the reason for this.
She hadn’t done anything last night. She just slept a very, very normal sleep. The dreams she had were also quite normal, not the kind that would cause her spiritual power to be so severely depleted.
The dream she had last night was already common for her. She would never forget that experience. Such deep memories could naturally be easily recreated in dreams.
It wasn’t exactly a nightmare, but it certainly wasn’t a good dream.
“Could it be that someone used mental magic to sneak attack you while you were sleeping?” Kira asked, tapping her chin with her finger.
Before Leticia could answer, Dengli, who was hiding nearby, immediately jumped out from her hiding spot, “Absolutely not. I can guarantee with my life that there were no other people’s auras in His Majesty’s room yesterday.”
Kira’s suggestion that someone had used mental magic to sneak attack Leticia while she was sleeping was questioning Dengli’s work. Dengli could not accept this blame.
“That’s right. If someone had really attacked me with mental magic, would I still be able to sleep soundly until dawn?” Leticia also agreed with Dengli’s statement. She was the Demon King. If someone wanted to sneak attack her with mental magic, she would definitely wake up.
But she wasn’t woken up, so Kira’s guess was definitely wrong.
“Then your condition is your own fault?” Kira asked tilted her head. After excluding external factors, the reason could only be on Leticia herself.
But this was even more impossible.
“Kira, leave the answer to this puzzle to you to find. My brain can’t handle it anymore.” Leticia covered her face with her hands. “My head hurts whenever I think about things. You keep guessing, maybe you’ll guess it?”
Hearing Leticia’s words, Kira frowned. She had quite a few guesses in her mind, but very few that could correspond to her sister’s current situation.
To deplete her mental power to this extent without alerting her sister, a master of the mind, was beyond human capability.
In this world today, among the people Kira knew, only Bai Ling could defeat her sister to the point of mental exhaustion. However, this was a fight, and it would create a lot of noise.
If it was purely a contest of mental power, it was not that Kira looked down on Bai Ling, but truly, Leticia could fight several Bai Lings.
“Gods, it could be gods.” Kira leaned into Leticia’s ear and whispered, “Could it be that a god sneak attacked you while you were sleeping?”
“Impossible. If a god had sneak attacked me, the Ancestor would have definitely warned me.” Leticia didn’t think Kira’s guess was very reliable.
The Ancestor might not help her at times, but when it came to gods, the Ancestor would definitely not stand by and do nothing.
“But we can’t contact the Ancestor now. Wait, Sister, could it be that the Ancestor’s connection with us was severed by that god?” Kira’s eyes gradually brightened. “This would explain why we can’t contact the Ancestor.”
The Ancestor’s connection with her was forcibly severed?
Was that possible?
Yes, it was absolutely possible.
The Ancestor was still in a sealed state. It wasn’t difficult to block her contact with the outside world, at least for a god.
If that was the case, it was understandable that the Ancestor didn’t warn her when she was attacked.
Because the Ancestor was probably busy.
“Your brain is really smart, Kira.” Leticia looked at her sister with relief and raised her hand, signaling Kira to take off the bracelet on her wrist. “Try to contact the Ancestor. I have no spiritual power left to use.”
Kira took the thin golden chain in her hand and infused her spiritual power into it. After a moment, her expression gradually became solemn. “I can’t contact her. There haven’t been any major changes in the divine artifact space, but I can’t find the Ancestor’s manor.”
Infierno’s territory would not move. It didn’t have legs. Now that Kira couldn’t find the manor, the only explanation was that the manor had been hidden by something.
Could a mortal do such a thing?
One would know it was impossible. This was definitely the work of a god!
At the thought of this, Leticia’s head began to ache. She looked at Kira and voiced her thoughts, “Sister, let’s run away.”
Let’s not worry about what’s happening here and go back to the Demon Realm as soon as possible. Leticia didn’t believe that god would dare to follow her back to the Demon Realm. If that god really dared to, then Leticia would call Youming to kill that guy.
You can sever a god’s external communication, can you sever two?
“Although I really want to admit that your idea makes sense, Sister, is it not too good to leave right now?” Kira mumbled softly. “Xiaoya would be very angry, right?”
“Yes, let me think about it again.” Leticia shook her head helplessly. She was just saying it. “But that god has already targeted me. Am I looking down on her by continuing to stay here?”
Was her physique too prone to attracting gods? Why did every god like her so much!
“Sigh, I’ll go talk to Xiaoya. If I explain clearly, Xiaoya should understand me.” Kira thought about it and decided that her sister was more important. “I’ll go right away.”
