Chapter 288 Growth Star 17
Half an hour later, Lu Xichen finally regained control of her body. She immediately stood up and walked towards Bai Mei and the others.
Seeing Lu Xichen approaching, Bai Mei immediately looked at her with a cold face, "What? Are you moving now? You were like a dead person just now."
Lu Xichen ignored it, so he didn't say anything in the face of Bai Mei's angry scolding.
"Sorry, something happened to me just now. I didn't mean to not help you."
"Hmph." Bai Mei snorted in dissatisfaction, turned her head away and stopped looking at Lu Xichen.
In fact, after half an hour of calmness, Bai Mei finally understood that Lu Xichen's behavior just now was not normal at all.
But she was still angry and refused to give in.
Although Jinju is a victim, she is very rational. No matter what the reason is, it will not do them any good to break up with Lu Xichen now.
So she stepped forward and blocked Bai Mei.
"Ms. Lu, Ah Mei misunderstood. Please don't mind. Can you tell me what happened just now?"
"Just now..." Lu Xishen stopped after saying just two words.
She didn't know how to explain it either.
Should she tell Jinju and the others that she was forced to absorb the power of the copy and was finally discovered by the copy and forced to stop.
Even if she said this, no one would believe it.
Besides, this matter concerns her power. Even though Jinju Ergen is currently a friend rather than an enemy, she is not going to say it.
After thinking about it, Lu Xichen made up a more reliable reason.
"I just fainted. This happens every once in a while, but I forgot to tell Guiyi to protect you. It was my negligence. Please forgive me."
"Coma?" Jinju was a little skeptical, but seeing Lu Xishen's serious expression, she believed it.
There is a chance to get rewards by clearing the dungeon, which may be ghost money or treasures.
Some treasures are irreplaceable to humans and can help humans pass dungeons, but most of these treasures have side effects.
Coma is one of the most common side effects.
With so many high-level weirdos around him, it's normal for Lu Xichen to have some treasures.
Jinju quickly convinced himself.
When Bai Mei heard the conversation between the two, the last bit of anger in her heart disappeared.
He turned around and said to Qi Guan Yuqing: "We have run out of food, do you want to go get it back?"
Lu Xichen glanced at Shi Xun and the other person not far away.
They also heard their conversation and were extremely vigilant against them.
She won't let it go if someone steals her things.
Just when I was about to go settle the score with them, Shi Xun took out a lighter from somewhere.
The stolen food was wrapped in their clothes. Shi Xun was carrying the bag of clothes. He put a lighter under the bag and pressed it. Flames came out from the lighter.
"If you come over, I will burn all this food! Let's die here together!"
Lu Xichen frowned in dissatisfaction, but Shi Xun's actions did threaten her, so she did not take another step forward.
There is only a limited amount of food. Once it is destroyed, I'm afraid they will all die here.
"Give us back the water, and the biscuits are for you."
Lu Xishen tried to bargain.
But now the ones who take the initiative are Shi Xun and the other two.
Shi Xun sneered: "Impossible, I can only give you a cookie."
As he said that, Shi Xun gave Xiao Ye a wink, and Xiao Ye took out a biscuit from his clothes bag and threw it to Lu Xichen and the other two.
The biscuits fell at Bai Mei's feet, like throwing food to a dog.
Bai Mei picked up the biscuit helplessly, wiped the blood stains on it, and put it on the table.
One cookie is not enough for three people.
Lu Xishen quietly gathered his strength, preparing to imprison Shi Xun and Xiao Ye, and then use his strange power to take the food back.
But Shi Xun kept staring at her. Although he didn't notice that Lu Xichen made any small movements, he keenly noticed that something was wrong with Lu Xichen.
He thought about it, then immediately took out the biscuit and tore open the package. The next second, he stuck out his tongue and licked the biscuit all over.
Lu Xichen was confused, and Bai Mei and Jin Ju were also confused.
Even Xiaoye, who was beside Shixun, was confused, but he reacted quickly and immediately imitated Shixun and licked the biscuit.
Lu Xishen's face looked extremely ugly, it couldn't be any darker, and therefore he stopped gathering his strength.
It’s all been licked, how can I eat it after I take it back?
I can't believe that Shi Xun, who looks like a little crybaby, could do such a disgusting thing.
"Don't even think about the cookies, hahaha!"
Shi Xun laughed triumphantly.
Xiao Ye beside him looked at Shi Xun puzzledly, always feeling that Shi Xun was a little different from before.
Lu Xichen completely gave up on the biscuits and thought about the lotus root pieces left in his backpack, maybe he could eat them.
The lotus root pieces have always been given to Guiyi to eat. She has never tasted them and has never thought about trying them.
He walked to the backpack, took out a piece of lotus root and put it to his mouth. The pungent smell of blood instantly penetrated his nose.
You can't smell it unless you get close, but you can smell it once you get close.
It was the first time that Lu Xichen smelled lotus root, and he didn’t expect it to smell so bad.
Thinking about the weird things that made me excited when I smelled lotus root, it turns out that the smell of lotus root has always been a simulation of human blood.
Even though he knew that the lotus root cubes were “vegetarian tripe”, Lu Xichen still couldn’t eat them. The biggest problem was the taste.
While I was struggling, the one-hour deadline arrived again.
Seeing Baimei and Jinju slowly losing control, Lu Xichen had no time to hesitate and quickly took out two pieces of lotus root and stuffed them into their mouths.
After more than ten seconds, the two stopped going berserk and their eyes gradually regained clarity.
"Miss Lu, what did we eat just now?"
Jinju was very surprised. They only had lotus root pieces left. Could it be that what they had just eaten were lotus root pieces?
Lu Xichen stretched out his hand and opened his palm, revealing the lotus root.
Kumquat nodded.
It really is lotus root.
Lu Xichen had been waiting for the feeling of wanting to eat someone to appear, but there was really no other way so she could only eat lotus root.
But she waited for a long time and the feeling of hunger did not appear. Even when she reached the next node, she still did not feel hungry.
She's fine, but White Rose and Kumquat will still change.
Skillfully stuffing the lotus root pieces into Baimei and Kumquat's mouths, Lu Xishen began to study his own condition.
Qi Guan Yuqing noticed Lu Xichen's confusion, smiled slightly from an angle where no one could see, and took the initiative to explain.
"Master, you have already taken the power of the copy for yourself. This copy will not pose a threat to you anymore."
"Take it for your own use?"
Lu Xichen instantly thought of the strange thing that had just happened.
Qi Guan Yuqing continued to explain.
"Yes, Master, you have just been absorbing the power of the copy, and it has been integrated two hours ago."
Lu Xishen curled his lips, "It was already fine two hours ago, and you're telling me now?"
"I thought the master had found out."
Qi Guan Yuqing shrugged innocently, leaving Lu Xichen feeling angry but unable to vent his anger.
When he wanted to continue asking related questions, Lu Xishen suddenly thought of a key point.
She stared at Qi Guan Yuqing grimly, walked up to him and grabbed his collar.
"You seem to know a lot about what happened to me. Tell me in detail."
