Chapter 1488: Evolution, Breakfast, and Degree

Serious illness represents the side effects of Xia De swallowing those "dirty things", but since the side effects appear, it means that the power that did not originally belong to Xia De is successfully becoming a part of him.

Not only could he feel in his coma that the upper limit of his spirit and the upper limit of his recovery speed were increasing, but the girls who took care of him could also feel this.

"His hair and beard are growing really fast."

Month of Rising Wind, 22nd, Saturday.

When Xia De woke up in a brand-new morning, he heard Luweiya and Tifa talking.

He had not opened his eyes yet, but unexpectedly found that his spirit was exceptionally good today. Although his body was still a bit tired and the headache had not completely disappeared, compared to the pain of being hit by a hammer on his temples like the previous days, the feeling at this time was almost like Little Mia scratching his skin.

Based on his understanding of his own physical state, this could almost be considered recovered.

"Yes, in this week or so, his height has increased by half an inch (about 1.27cm). Although it is not much, for his age, this is almost impossible."

Tifa said softly in agreement.

Xia De did not intend to eavesdrop on the conversation and wanted to open his eyes to indicate that he had woken up, but felt the quilt on the side being pulled up slightly, and then a hand gently pinched his upper arm:

"It's not just height, Xia De's weight has also increased a bit, and the density of his bones and the strength of his muscles have been enhanced. But strangely, from the appearance, Xia De's body shape has not changed at all. You can't see exaggerated muscle blocks, and his abdominal muscles are at the original level."

Luweiya said softly, then let go of the hand that grabbed his upper arm and tucked the quilt back in:

"Even those strange arts that can permanently enhance physical fitness, such as 【Steel Body】, 【Giant Strength】, 【Farias's Body Strengthening Technique】, 【Silver Knight's Ear】, do not have such exaggerated effects. I even suspect that Xia De can defeat an earth elemental spirit with his bare hands just by physical fitness."

"It shouldn't be that exaggerated. Miss said that the witches think Xia De's physical changes are more like a kind of... evolution."

It could be heard that the black-haired maid lady was trying her best to find a suitable way of saying it:

"The spirit runes of the Ringed Shushi are different, which leads to a big difference in physical fitness even at the same ring. Those distorted powers are probably extremely compatible with some of his spirit runes, which leads to this phenomenon. This is an all-round enhancement of physical fitness. The strengthening of bare-handed fighting ability is actually not important. What is important is the further evolution of life form."

"He probably can live longer than all of us."

Luweiya said very gently. Even if Xia De closed his eyes, he could feel those purple eyes looking at him.

"That's really good. He won't leave earlier than me."

"Early in the morning, please don't say such things."

Hearing this, Xia De finally opened his eyes. Neither Luweiya nor Tifa was surprised by his awakening.

Tifa gently helped him sit up and asked Xia De softly, as if worried that too loud a voice would kill him directly, and then got up from the chair by the bed to arrange for the maids to send breakfast.

Luweiya touched his forehead and then pressed her hand on his chest to test his heartbeat:

"Body temperature has returned to normal, but the speed of the heartbeat is still a bit fast. But it should be getting better. According to my divination, your fusion of those powers we cannot understand will take a few more days to end completely, so your illness will take a few more days to recover completely."

"I suggest a possibility. My heartbeat is fast. Could it be because you are listening to my heartbeat?"

Xia De said, looking at those purple eyes. Luweiya also looked at him, and it took a few seconds before she laughed. She looked very beautiful when she squinted and laughed.

"Hearing you say such things, I know your spirit is much better than the previous days."

She said, holding Little Mia, who was lying on the quilt, to the side to prevent this cat from crushing the "physically weak" Xia De.

Miya's spirit has not been very good in the past two weeks. She lay beside Xia De's pillow all day, as if worried that Xia De would die at any time. The reason why Xia De could see Miya at the head of the bed or on the windowsill every time he opened his eyes was because this cat, who was almost one year old, had not left at all.

"We prepared daily cat food for her according to your instructions, but her appetite was one-fifth less than what you said."

Luweiya said, seeing that Xia De said he was fine, she put Miya back on the quilt. Xia De leaned against the head of the bed and stroked the cat. Little Mia seemed to be able to perceive that Xia De's mental state was much better, and she lay obediently under his hand without moving:

"It feels like this week was a dream. Now that the dream is awake, I still can't distinguish which memories of the past few weeks are real and which are dreams."

"I still remember one night when I called you to get up to take medicine, you waved your hands in horror and said don't take medicine, as if I was going to murder you."

Luweiya said reproachfully, reaching out to help Xia De tuck the quilt. Xia De recalled it and realized that before that, he dreamed of the story of 105 men and 3 women robbing houses together that he had seen in his hometown.

"Now that you have finally improved, we are relieved."

Luweiya said, her eyes filled with sadness.

"Thank you for taking care of me these two weeks. If it weren't for you, I would probably curl up in the quilt by myself and wait for the doctor to find me after I didn't go to the meeting."

"With us, do you still need to say thank you? Xia De, you also know what this illness is about, later..."

"Luweiya, if I didn't do that in the Randall Valley, what other way could I have?"

Xia De asked, looking at those purple eyes, but he didn't know who he was looking at at this moment:

"Sacrifice Xilisi? Or let the Guardian swallow the pollution and explode? That is not the ending we want, especially not the ending you want."

Luweiya pursed her lips, and only said after a while:

"Then let the church handle it, let the damn crazy earth spread to the world. You also said yourself, the end will come when it comes. I don't care about others, I only care about you."

"This is not what you should say."

Xia De said with a smile, and then reached out to hug Luweiya, while noticing that he didn't recognize the pajamas he was wearing:

"But from the current point of view, the result of my choice is not bad? The story of the Randall Valley was relatively successfully solved, and although I was seriously ill for more than a week, there was no life danger, but I gained benefits. Even if I want to swallow strange things in the future, my resistance is much stronger than more than a week ago."

"You still want to have a next time?"

Luweiya raised her voice slightly, and then held Xia De's hand:

"Xia De Su Lun Hamilton, promise me, if you want to take such an adventure in the future, at least discuss it with me in advance, okay?"

Generally speaking, being called by his full name means it is a very serious occasion.

"I know, you won't lie to me."

Luweiya said, Xia De pursed his lips:

"Okay, I promise you, as long as there is a chance, I will take the initiative to discuss it with you."

A smile appeared on the diviner lady's face, and Tifa also returned with the maids at this time. However, it was not eating first, but washing up first. Xia De could only brush his teeth by himself, but according to the practice of the past few days, Tifa had to wipe Xia De's face with a hot towel personally.

"Let me do it myself today."

Xia De, who felt that he had entered the recovery period, said, and was looked at by Tifa with a reproachful look, and she didn't even discuss it with Xia De before she started.

After eating, they performed a simple check for Xia De, and then confirmed that Xia De's physical condition had really improved significantly. This made the girls very happy, so Luweiya went to the Diviner Society to work as usual, and Xia De was asked to stay in bed to continue resting.

He originally wanted to read a book to make up for this two weeks of "laziness". But after all, his body had not yet recovered. After reading for half an hour to understand the standard process of impurity purification and treatment in magic potion making, drowsiness surged up.

Under normal circumstances, Xia De would insist on finishing reading, but since he was still sick, he simply put down the book and went to sleep again.

When he opened his eyes, it was noon two hours later.

The house seemed very lively, and Xia De heard many people's voices from the living room. He tried to get out of bed holding Miya, and when he came to the living room in pajamas, he found that not only Luweiya and Tifa were there, but even Miss Jia Lin Na and Dorothy had arrived.

"Good noon, ladies. Seeing you, I am really happy."

Seeing that the girls he could call "family" in this world were all there, Xia De felt that his mental state was even better.

Luweiya wanted Xia De to go back to rest quickly, but Dorothy thought it was good to let Xia De get out of bed and walk around, and it was the same to let him go back to bed to lie down after lunch.

Thus, after a week, Xia De finally obtained the power to eat at the dining table.

Three more people were added to the usually cold dining table to eat with him, which made him feel that No. 6 St. Deran Square was becoming more and more warm.

Tifa still refused to sit down with Jia Lin Na, and was busy in the kitchen with other maid ladies.

And the ladies at the table took advantage of lunch to tell Xia De about what happened during the week or so he was seriously ill. Xia De always had various things around him, but the world would not stop because of the traveler's closed eyes and serious illness.

"Your honorary degree has been obtained."

This was the news brought back by Dorothy. Although Xia De got a good thesis from the Randall Valley, the subsequent publication in cooperation with Professor Manning and other chores were handled by the writer lady and the princess together.

"The evening party for the degree award was the day before yesterday. Everyone knows that you were seriously ill, so I went to receive the degree certificate and honorary medal for you later, Honorary Doctor Hamilton~" ===== CHAPTER 1489 =====
