“You are finally awake.” Jia Ying smiled at Se Lang as he woke up from his seemingly long slumber. His head felt groggy and all muscles throughout his entire body were aching madly.
“Hmm, you were out for about two weeks or so.” Shi Hui replied as she laid her head right beside Jia Ying’s left arm while peeling an apple without breaking the skin up. Se Lang sat up immediately regardless of the pain and stared at both girls in shock.
“What! No way!” Se Lang rubbed his eyes and wanted to check his watch only to find it gone. Jia Ying pointed at the cabinet right beside the bed and he speedily grabbed it to look at the clock. Se Lang eventually sighed, only to find out that he got pranked by those two. Two weeks? More like two dungeon instance hours.
“You should have taken a look at his face. It was priceless.” Shi Hui giggled and Jia Ying undoubtedly agreed, even regretting that they had not used used a hidden camera for Se Lang’s surprised look. Shi Hui did not tease him anymore as she passed the perfectly peeled apple to Se Lang. It was then, that Se Lang took a look around his surroundings and asked where he was. It was clean, quiet and private, unlike the previous time he was there. Se Lang previously felt like he was in some emergency medical military tent with panda nurses running all around the area to aid the recovering cultivators.
Sure, it had its benefits being in such an open recovery area. It helped passing time more easily by listening to the woes of the cultivators that failed Jin’s dungeons. But sometimes you really just wanted to rest after the entire instance, some peace and quiet would be much appreciated.
“You are in the private suite of the Recovery Instance.” Milk came in just in time to answer his question. “Boss Jin had requested that the people who entered the extra stage of the Halloween Instance would be placed in this newly created private suite, so that you guys can recover properly.” Milk added as she took the clipboard from the end of Se Lang’s bed to check his vitals that were taken minutes ago by the panda nurses before he woke up.
After having already explained to Shi Hui and Jia Ying about the extra instance in the Halloween Stage, it was now Se Lang’s turn. Milk described how she gave the three of them extensive check ups when they completed the dungeon instance.
“Se Lang, seems like you and your two friends have overexerted your chi limits in this particular instance so much that all three of you collapsed the moment you reached this Recovery Instance.” Milk commented as she put down the clipboard and did a routine check on his vitals via a simple magical spell called ‘Scan’. Like all magics it was classified the same way as techniques and therefore had basic, intermediate, advanced, epic and lastly legendary levels. Milk’s scan ability was rated as Legendary and it allowed her to check Se Lang’s condition comprehensively to the point, it even pointed out suggestions what needed to be done to assist him. By right she should not be able to access any Legendary spell as she did, since her grade was pegged to Jin’s cultivation grade. However Yun unlocked this particular ability of Milk the moment she took over as the overall in charge for the Recovery Instance. With such an ability at her disposal, everyone was surprised, at how accurate her diagnosis were. Some were not even aware why they had the problems they did, until Milk pointed it out.
Of course, there were warnings such as to take note of sugar levels to prevent the development of diabetes, but Milk ignored all those and focused more on the recovery of his body. “While, I am not really a doctor per say, I recommend that you three take a break from dungeon instances for at least a week to properly recover from the overexertion. Especially you Se Lang. I know, that you will definitely use your chi points during work. If possible, I would suggest paperwork so that your chi points have the time to recover and develop properly in the future.” Milk gave her advice to Se Lang and he nodded his head.
Se Lang knew his limits since he was nearly grasped by the hands of death because he previously ignored Milk’s advice after a dungeon run with Deng Long where they fought for hours inside the dungeon instance.
While not common, Se Lang developed chi poisoning in the body due to the excessive usage of chi and he had to go to the hospital for a few days to recover. He regretted his decision not to listen to Milk, since he thought she was there to scold him.
When Se Lang came by to Jin’s store for another run, just mere days being discharged from the hospital, Milk later noticed there were residues of chi poisoning at that time. She immediately forbade Jin to sell Se Lang any Dungeon tickets, until Se Lang’s body could expel them first. That was why See Lang bitterly acknowledge Milk advice and decided to rest for good this time round.
Before Milk left the private suite, she gave each of them a chi recovery potion free of charge to use before they sleep in the real world in order to stimulate the recovery of their chi points.
“So…Shi Hui, about the dungeon. I have something to tell you.” Se Lang felt a bit weird trying to confess to Shi Hui about the kiss Jia Ying gave him, but Shi Hui looked at him blankly. “Jia Ying has already told me everything. There is nothing to worry about.” Shi Hui replied without any care.
“But I am sorry I allowed Jia Ying to-”
“Did we not say? I do not mind sharing you with Jia Ying. Jia Ying also said that she would be looking forward to be under your care.” Shi Hui looked at Jia Ying upon using her name and she nodded vehemently.
“No…wait, are you serious? I thought…” Before Se Lang could finish his sentence again, Jia Ying interrupted him.
“Venus Four once made a pact with much consideration. If any of us really liked anyone at the same time and felt that he was really worth fighting for, not only each of the girls will give blessings to each other, we decided not to be tied down with the concept of monogamy.” Jia Ying smiled as she grabbed Shi Hui’s hand.
“Because, we love each other a lot. A hell lot, to the point we do not mind not being straight.” Shi Hui said honestly to Se Lang which confounded him for a while. “However, since we both happen to like you…well actually, Jia Ying liked you first, but I do find your traits desirable too! So…” Shi Hui winked at Se Lang as she started to climb up into Se Lang’s bed.
Jia Ying did not lose out to Shi Hui and did the same thing as well. Now Se Lang had both girls, each at the side of his bed cuddling right beside him. He felt totally weird. “Am I dreaming or is this real?” Se Lang said out loud only to be pinched by the two of them at each side of his cheeks.
“Ow! Okay okay I guess this is real then, not an illusion made by Pyro Jack.” Se Lang admitted and pulled the two girls towards him even more. He could feel the warmth from the two girls and stared at the ceiling for a moment.
“Are you sure, both of you are okay with this?” Se Lang said with a grinning smile on his face.
“I cannot be any happier to share my love with my best friend and my boyfriend.” Shi Hui said without any hesitation and Jia Ying took the initiative to gently kiss Shi Hui and later Se Lang before lying down again.
“I hope I will not disappoint you two…and guess more overtime work for me to support the two of you.” Se Lang could not wait to see the Deng Long’s face if he told him. Deng Long will definitely not believe him. On second thought, Se Lang decided to keep this a secret until Deng Long figured it out himself. That would actually be way more fun.
The three of them later shared a quiet time resting as they cuddled up to each other.
