Chapter 148 - Ning Zhi was confused. Did Overlord just say that she needed to make an extra trip? (4)

The night grew thicker.

After Ning Zhi was done changing, she laid down next to Lu Jue, who was already sound asleep. Considering that it was winter when she last went, she had a thick coat on this time.

She summoned the Overlord, “Let me guess. 100 little suns this time?”

The Overlord’s milky voice was that of one with a guilty conscience. It stammered: [Host…… there had been some changes. We will need 150 little suns this time.]

Ning Zhi was sure she heard it right. “How many did you say?”

Had Overlord had a physical body, it would have showed her with its fingers. [150.] It stressed: [Host, it is special circumstances this time.]

“What do you mean by special circumstances?” Ning Zhi was infuriated. She felt that she was being gouged.

Overlord felt aggrieved. [This trip didn’t exist before. I have no idea why it popped up suddenly.] Per their original schedule, Ning Zhi’s next trip should be back to Lu Jue’s junior year. And now, somehow, a sophomore period one popped up.

Transmigrating to a time frame that wasn’t part of the rescue mission would cost more little suns.

Ning Zhi was baffled. Was Overlord saying that a new point in the time line that she needed to travel to had occurred?

Whatever had happened?

Ning Zhi couldn’t quite figure that out. “I have reasons to believe that you are messing around with me.”

The Overlord felt aggrieved: [Why would I do such an awful thing?]

“I suspect that you just want to get your hands onto more of my little suns.”

Overlord denied that quickly: [The number of little suns needed for each trip are pre-determined, Host. I would never dare to make up fake numbers!] Little suns were the purest of all karma. Should it have any greed or malicious ideas, the little suns that it received would disappear. It is no fool and would never do such a foolish thing.

Besides, compared to Fugui, Overlord was already very content feasting with its host all the time.

Ning Zhi was still very upset. “I only have 100 little suns right now.”

She had 120 little suns before, but she had spent 20 of them for 20% of her halo and only had 100 left right now.

Overlord wooed her quickly: [Host, just have some more contact with Lu Jue. You will get the little suns that you need in no time!]

Ning Zhi hrumphed. “What happened when we exhausted him one day?”

What happened when Lu Jue was squeezed dried and stopped producing little suns altogether? That was Ning Zhi’s biggest worry all along. She worried that Lu Jue would run out of little suns before the completion of her rescue mission.

The Overlord’s milky voice sounded emotion: [That’s not possible!]

Ning Zhi, “Are you sure about that?”

Overlord: [You don’t need to worry about that, Host. No matter how many little suns we consume, Lu Jue will always be able to produce enough little suns.] Lu Jue was definitely a one-in-a-million who could produce an unlimited number of little suns.

Ning Zhi felt relieved but, at the rate that she was going……

For some inexplicable reasons, Ning Zhi’s cheeks began to burn in the dark. She quickly shook her head to get rid of the R-rate images that appeared in her head. It was better that she focused on the golden little suns.

Ning Zhi woke up the next day with light greenish dark circles under her eyes. All night long she was dreaming about how to get more little suns from Lu Jue.

She flipped over to face the other side and happened to see Lu Jue, who was still fast asleep.

The sky wasn’t entire bright yet and it was quiet in the room. She could hear his light breathing.

Ning Zhi got up and scooted close to him stealthily.

She lowered her head and studied Lu Jue seriously.

His eyelids were thin and his lashes thick. His nose bridge tall and his lips were shut gently. He was exactly her type.

He was asleep now. Would kissing him now give her little suns?

Ning Zhi was itching to try.

Pinching her lips shut a little, she lowered her head and kissed him on the tip of his nose. Nothing.

Ning Zhi moved downward and planted a kiss gently on his lips. Still nothing. It looked like she would only receive little suns when Lu Jue was awake.

All of a sudden, Ning Zhi was looking into Lu Jue’s dark and blank eyes.
