Chapter 958 - 957: What Is It Like to Marry a Sleeping Beauty?

In the Sleeping Beauty’s chamber.

Every morning, Nalan Ye Jue’s necessary task is to draw back the curtains and let Qin Xin soak up the sunlight.

Then patiently, he brings a basin of warm water to gently wipe her little face, neck, arms, and hands.

She remains in a deep sleep and cannot eat, relying on nutrient injections to sustain her life, so he stays by her side without ever leaving.

After the morning injections are complete, he starts to massage her hands and feet, performing slight movements—if bedridden patients don’t move, their muscles will quickly waste away, and even their joint functions will degrade.

This tedious work could have been done by medical staff or servants, but he does it all himself, not allowing others to touch Qin Xin casually.

In the afternoon, he goes to the garden to pick the most beautiful blossoms of the day and places them on her bedhead—those with too strong aromas are rejected, only choosing flowers with a cold scent akin to her demeanor.

In the evening, he goes to the study to select a few books, sitting by her side and gently reading aloud.

Sometimes it’s the medical books she likes or academic works on artificial intelligence and physics, sometimes it’s rare edition novels by Xinghe.

Millions online have been writing blood letters demanding Xinghe to continue updates, causing the hot searches to crash several times.

Wealthy patrons pleading with Queen for surgery are scheduled a year in advance.

Mr. Yun from the Lark Orchestra has not been seen for a long time...

Hence, reading these words written by Qin Xin, Nalan Ye Jue feels myriad emotions.

When will that talented soul awaken?

After finishing reading every night, he gets another basin of warm water to wipe her body, changes her into a new nightgown, and ceremoniously whispers by her ear, "Would my little wife like to sleep with your husband now?"

Though he receives no response.

He still quietly waits a few seconds, then arranges the covers and gently lays beside her.

Moonlight flows like water, as he lays beside her, a true gentleman.

Does he regret?

If he had known his wife would turn into Sleeping Beauty earlier, would he have made her truly his woman sooner?

Nalan Ye Jue closes his eyes.

No, he would still respect her, hold a grand wedding with her, and look forward to a ceremonially filled wedding night of love.

Most importantly, he firmly believes that she will awaken.

After Qin Xin stopped hoping for Jing Zhichen’s supernatural powers, the next few days became much more relaxed.

Anyway, if they encountered monsters, they fought them.

If there were no monsters, they followed the team to admire the scenery.

Three days passed quickly, and the exam finally reached the moment to submit and leave.

At noon that day.

A sharp horn sounded, and a colorful signal flare rose into the sky above the forest.

Jing Zhichen looked up at the sky and said to everyone, "Gather there, bring your Spiritual Pearls, don’t lose them."

The Spiritual Pearls are the sole measure of the exam results.

Thanks to Jing Zhichen and Qin Xin over the past few days, everyone gained immensely, and smiles spread across their faces.

Heading to the gathering spot took them almost three hours.

As dusk fell, they finally saw the helicopters at the gathering point and a group of mentors in dark red robes checking the numbers.

The other groups’ members scattered, leaving only a few remaining.

Among the few left, those who obtained Spiritual Pearls were even scarcer, with most people hanging their heads in dejection.

Failing this entrance exam would make them ordinary people in the world of supernatural abilities, tossed into the forest to fend for themselves, and even if lucky enough to come out, they would still face endless disdain and prejudice in the future.

The rules are harsh, but, unfortunately, this is their life.
