Chapter 294 – Great God, I heard you’re going to travel a thousand li to deliver (28)
“Mm, alright, then I’ll head back first. Thank you for your trouble, professor.”
Even with such a pale face, Yan Luo still carried herself with impeccable politeness, which made the professor appreciate her even more.
After bidding farewell to the professor, Yan Luo turned around and carefully felt the sharp pain in her lower abdomen. She lifted her foot and started walking towards her residence, her face blank as she spoke to Little Pink in her mind.
“Damn it, I think this time is going to be rough. My period’s here, and it hurts like hell. Wuwuwu…”
[Dear Host, this is an inherent trait of the original owner, not an injury. Your skill’s effect might take time to activate, and the pain reduction may not be significant. Hang in there!]
The original owner had always been weak and had lingering health issues. On top of that, she never took proper care of herself, so whenever her period came, the pain was unbearable.
Not to mention, this time she had also been drenched in a bottle of ice water by Yan Yuqi.
The sensation in her lower abdomen was like razor blades twisting inside her, making every step agonizingly difficult. Fortunately, the original owner wasn’t completely clueless—she knew that as a girl, certain things couldn’t be exposed so easily.
So she always stocked up on supplies through online shopping. As long as she could make it home, everything would be fine.
She really wanted to curse.
Her clothes were still damp, the pain in her lower abdomen pulled at her muscles, making her whole body ache. Fine beads of sweat formed on her forehead as she furrowed her brows, the veins on her pale hands faintly protruding. In the sunlight, she looked even more ghostly.
Some passersby seemed to want to help, but seeing her unapproachable demeanor, they could only watch with concern as she left the school alone.
Back at her place, she untied the cloth binding her chest, changed out of the damp clothes, tidied herself up, and pursed her lips tightly. Her fingers clenched as she collapsed onto the bed.
Curling up, she didn’t want to think about anything, her brows deeply furrowed as she forced herself to sleep.
Time passed in a haze of pain and dreams, unclear how long it had been. When Yan Luo groggily opened her eyes, the sky outside had completely darkened. Her chest felt swollen, her limbs were cold, and her lower abdomen still throbbed painfully, but perhaps due to her skill, it was no longer unbearable.
She sniffed the scent of blood lingering on her body and glanced at the pack of cigarettes and lighter that had remained untouched since she arrived.
Lighting a cigarette, she didn’t bother turning on the lights. The ember’s crimson glow stood out starkly in the darkness. Leaning lazily against the sofa, she curled up slightly, too exhausted to care about the stickiness on her skin.
[Dear Host, are you okay?] Little Pink asked worriedly, seeing Yan Luo looking utterly drained from the pain.
“No, not okay at all.” Yan Luo casually held the cigarette, her voice muffled. Before Little Pink could say anything else, she continued, “But if you tell me this dimension has none of those weird things, I might feel a little better. Just a little.”
As she spoke, she even raised her hand to show how small that ‘little’ was.
Little was speechless : …
At a time like this, she still had the energy to crack jokes? She must be fine, nothing too serious.
Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang.
It was a short press, barely a second before it went silent again.
Yan Luo furrowed her brows slightly but was too lazy to get up. She listened for a while, but since there was no follow-up, she remained still.
