Chapter 2126: Why Do This Again?
“No need, your miss has decided to lose weight. If I get fatter, I won’t be able to walk,” Ning Shu said.
Xi Tao looked worried. “Miss, why do you want to do this again? Last time, you fainted from hunger.”
“The doctor said that Miss’s body is weak and can’t tolerate strenuous exercise,” Xi Tao said.
“This servant has grown up with Miss. Miss has been like this since she was a child. This servant thinks that Miss is cute no matter what she looks like,” Xi Tao said sincerely.
Ning Shu sighed.
“Miss, please don’t starve yourself. Your body won’t be able to take it,” Xi Tao repeated.
Ning Shu nodded. “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t starve myself.”
“Then this servant is relieved. You can call this servant when you’re hungry.” Xi Tao tidied Ning Shu’s quilt and then started to leave, looking back every three steps.
She obviously wanted Ning Shu to stop her.
Ning Shu: …
Damn stubborn girl. It was such a cold day, didn’t she feel cold standing guard?
“Have a good rest,” Ning Shu told Xi Tao.
“Miss should have a good rest too.” Xi Tao finally left and closed the door.
The room was silent. Ning Shu listened to the cold wind howling outside.
She sat up and crossed her legs with difficulty. Her body was extremely stiff, either from the cold or from not exercising regularly.
Even just the act of sitting up exerted her so much that her heart was pounding and stars appeared in front of her eyes.
Ning Shu took a deep breath and started to practice the Unsurpassable Martial Arts.
However, she barely made any progress. She could clearly sense that there was spiritual energy around her, but her body couldn’t absorb it. This body’s veins were very thin and fragile. Its bones were also damaged and much weaker than those of a regular healthy person.
Ning Shu frowned. She straightened her back and continued to cultivate.
Although the process was very slow, Ning Shu’s body gradually warmed up, and her hands and feet were no longer cold and tingling.
Now that she was warmer, Ning Shu was more motivated to cultivate.
She definitely needed to lose weight. Being so overweight was harmful to her health.
Ning Shu took her own pulse; it was very weak. For some unknown reason, this body was in sub-health despite its young age. It was also developing in the direction of diabetes.
This body would need to be cared for in the future, otherwise, it would be really easy to just suddenly die.
Ning Shu cultivated all night and felt much warmer.
The next morning, She went to the mourning hall and saw that Gu Rui was still keeping watch. A cloak had been draped over his body.
Ning Shu was a little surprised. Did he really stay here all night?
The door was left open and the cold wind poured into the hall. It was no different from being in a world of ice and snow.
Ning Shu walked over and knelt on a mat. She glanced at Gu Rui. His face was surrounded by the white fur from the cloak and despite being a bit haggard, he still looked like a gentleman.
“You stayed here all night?” Ning Shu asked.
Gu Rui nodded, staring at the coffin with complicated eyes. “I owe foster father a great deal. Keeping watch over his coffin is naturally my duty.”
“Go rest, I’ll stay here for a while,” Ning Shu said to Gu Rui.
Gu Rui really was sleepy and decided to get up, but his legs were numb and he stumbled a bit while trying to stand. Ning Shu reached out to help steady him.
“Thanks.”
Gu Rui turned and left the mourning hall.
After Gu Rui had been gone for a while, Li Jiuge came in. He knelt down, kowtowed twice, and then turned to look at Ning Shu. “Lanxin, don’t be sad. Foster Father wouldn’t want to see you like this.”
Li Jiuge had exquisite looks. Due to his young age, his skin was even more noticeably soft and flawless.
How could he be the child of an ordinary family? Just where did the old man find him?
“I know,” Ning Shu said.
