Moonlit Calamity: The Dragon Girl's Life of Idleness is Broken

Chapter 214 The Missing Item

At this moment, Xiao Han's eyes were closed, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, outlining a gentle smile.

He said softly, "Alright, it's me who wants to hold you and take advantage of you. Is that alright?"

A look of embarrassment immediately appeared on Long Chuqing's face, and her delicate features involuntarily tightened. She inwardly regretted saying something stupid: "Ugh, I shouldn't have said such a stupid thing."

However, since things have come to this, there's no point in dwelling on it anymore. The most important thing right now is to get your body back to normal temperature as soon as possible.

So she slowly stretched out her arm and put it on Xiao Han, hugging him.

Sensing Long Chuqing's actions, Xiao Han asked softly, "Are you warm?"

Long Chuqing hesitated for a moment before responding softly, "Mmm..."

Although the answer was brief, that single, gentle word was like a warm current flowing into Xiao Han's heart, and a satisfied smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Xiao Han then pressed his advantage, saying with a hint of teasing, "If you feel cold, I don't mind if you come over and hold me to sleep every night."

Before he could finish speaking, Long Chuqing looked up and glared at him reproachfully, saying irritably, "You wish! I'm not cold all over every night; I'm not like this normally."

Now that the conversation had turned to this point, Xiao Han thought of his previous guesses and wanted to resolve his doubts.

After weighing the options in his mind, he couldn't help but ask, "Chu Qing, based on the situation last month and this month, are you affected every fifteenth of the month? Does it cause your whole body to feel cold?"

Long Chu was surprised when he heard this, not expecting that Xiao Han had noticed this detail so carefully.

But it's no wonder, given her strange condition, it's hard not to be suspicious.

Now that he knew her situation and had guessed the general reason, she no longer needed to hide it or make excuses.

She took a deep breath and slowly began to speak. "You guessed right, the situation is indeed as you said."

Her gaze lowered slightly as she recalled past events, then continued to add to the story.

"However, the situation was not as serious as it is now. At most, I would just be weak and feel unwell, but I would not feel as cold all over as I did last night. This situation started to change after I was seriously injured and fell into a coma."

Hearing this, Xiao Han continued to press, "Then can you tell me what exactly caused this condition in your body? Is there any way to resolve or suppress it?"

“This…” When it came to this matter, Long Chuqing began to hesitate. She couldn’t tell him the truth about losing a soul and a spirit.

"The reason for this is that I am missing something in my body that helps maintain balance."

At this point, she frowned slightly, looking somewhat bewildered and helpless.

With her current abilities, she is unable to retrieve the soul, and who knows what the future holds? Perhaps this is how it will be for the rest of her life!

No, there's something even worse than that. Who knows, one day a group of heavenly soldiers might suddenly appear to capture her.

Sigh... Thinking too much nowadays is useless and will only affect my mood.

"As for a solution... I haven't found one yet, but I do have a way to suppress it."

Xiao Han was puzzled after hearing this. What could be missing in the body that would cause a person to become ice-cold on the fifteenth of every month?

He had never heard of such strange signs before; if it were poisoning or some rare disease, that would make sense.

But Chu Qing specifically mentioned "lack," which he found utterly baffling.

He felt that Chu Qing wasn't telling him the truth, but had just made up a word to fool him.

He continued, "What you're talking about, the thing that maintains balance when something is missing? What exactly is that? I've never heard of it before. Are you just making this up?"

Long Chuqing sighed: "It's not exactly making things up! Anyway, the meaning is pretty much the same. I'm sorry, um... I can't explain it to you in detail, but I didn't mean to lie to you. This is my secret."

Xiao Han immediately felt relieved and said gently, "Okay, if you don't want to say, then don't. I was being presumptuous. I just wanted to know what it was and see if I could help you."

Long Chuqing said somewhat dejectedly, "You can't help me with this."

"Then what about the method of suppression you mentioned? Do you have a target or clues now?" Xiao Han asked somewhat nervously, "Regarding this... can I know?"

Long Chuqing's eyes flickered, and she asked in a light tone, "What, you're asking this? Do you want to help me find it?"

Xiao Han looked down at her in his arms and nodded slightly: "Hmm... If it's a precious medicinal herb, I can find it for you. If it's anything else, as long as it can be found in the world, I will definitely try to find a way for you."

Long Chuqing had only asked casually, but she didn't expect to hear Xiao Han's serious answer.

At that moment, a strange feeling quietly passed through her heart, but it disappeared after only a moment.

The feeling was indescribable; it passed before she could even process it, leaving no trace in her heart.

"Thank you for your kindness, but don't worry, I'll figure out a way to handle this myself."

When Xiao Han heard Long Chuqing finish speaking, he felt a strange and inexplicable sense of panic.

Chu Qing had mentioned before that she would leave once the Gu poison in his body was cured.

As time quietly passed, he let go of his worries, thinking that Chu Qing would not bring up the matter again for the time being.

Unexpectedly, she had always had her own plans and arrangements in mind.

However, he had no idea what the missing part of Chu Qing's body was, as she had mentioned.

I have no idea how to provide her with effective help.

But if she insists on leaving to find something that can help her recover, he knows he can't force her to stay by his side.

The thought that he might never see her again made him feel extremely sad.

He slowly closed his eyes, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

Without realizing it, he subconsciously tightened his arms around Long Chuqing.

Long Chuqing naturally felt Xiao Han hug her tighter, and faced with his sudden silence, she couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Xiao Han, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Xiao Han replied gently. "Chu Qing, are you sleepy? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"You shouldn't have said that," Long Chuqing yawned. "Now that you've mentioned it, I'm actually getting sleepy."

Xiao Han reached out and covered her eyes: "It's still early, you should sleep a little longer!"

After ending the conversation, she nestled in Xiao Han's warm and comfortable embrace and slept peacefully again.
