I Am Extraordinary Alone
Chapter 277 - 275 Awakening

Chapter 277: Chapter 275 Awakening

Wei Tianyang abruptly sat up from the bed, and the sheet slipped off, revealing his bare upper body and light blue long johns on the lower.

His broken right arm had not fully recovered; it resembled a model full of sharp corners, reluctantly assembled from a pile of black fragments. He tried to bend his fingers and joints and felt resistance as if gears had gotten stuck.

He rolled out of bed and walked over to the window, lifting the curtain slightly, only to see that it was already night outside, and some unknown trees were covered with snow.

How long had he been unconscious?

Wei Tianyang closed his eyes, gently massaged his forehead, and extended his telepathic senses to listen to the surrounding noises.

"How can I obtain his body.... perhaps... while he is unconscious, we should share the bed tonight..."

"I have no parents anymore... I can’t go back..."

Wei Tianyang listened, sniffing out the thoughts of two people. He quickly identified them as Zhao Ling and Fujiwara Makoto.

It seemed they were still in Libitelli, having found a place to temporarily take shelter. With the snow gleaming outside the window, it seemed winter had arrived. Yet, they were still here, which made him wonder if something went wrong with Zhao Ling’s plans that prevented them from leaving Lusimin.

Wei Tianyang felt somewhat annoyed, but he appreciated the temporary refuge they had found. The bed was comfortable, the room temperature was suitable, and he neither felt hunger nor thirst, and his body was clean.

It must have been Zhao Ling who had wiped his body and fed him while he was unconscious. Perhaps it was during the cleaning process that she developed those vile thoughts.

This old woman, already over a hundred years old, with her status and power, should have been involved with countless men, not lacking playthings.

At least, Wei Tianyang had never imagined Zhao Ling was a virgin.

How could it be possible? A hundred-year-old empress of a feudal nation, who, with her superpower, had acquired the ability to extend her life, was beautiful, robust, and had a dominant personality. To say she was abstinent would be foolish.

Given Zhao Ling’s self-healing abilities and strong physique, she likely had not only grown weary of mundane pleasures but also developed particularly intense tastes.

Over the past three years, while Wei Tianyang was learning hand-to-hand combat skills from her, he had noticed her strange fetishes. Punching the abdomen, slashing the neck, and binding to inflict pain were her favorites, whether giving or receiving.

He walked to the door, attempting to push it open, but found it locked with a pheromone lock, displaying "Pheromone Mismatch" on the screen below the handle.

"Yin Country characters... Are we in Yin Country?!" Wei Tianyang was startled.

Just then, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, rapidly approaching from the left; it sounded like someone was frantically running up the stairs.

Before Zhao Ling could open the door, Wei Tianyang smelled the scent of her perfume.

This was no longer Libitelli. He then realized.

Indeed, it was Zhao Ling who opened the door, looking somewhat flustered, with a gaze that was half excited and half ashamed.

Wei Tianyang’s nose caught a salty, greasy, sweet aroma coming from Zhao Ling’s right hand.

"Are you awake?! How do you feel?" Zhao Ling hurriedly asked.

"I’m fine, where is this? How much time has passed?" Wei Tianyang asked.

Zhao Ling shook her head, subconsciously reaching out to support Wei Tianyang but he blocked her with his left hand.

"I’m sharp as ever," Wei Tianyang smiled.

Fujiwara Makoto followed him up the stairs and stood behind Zhao Ling, curiously watching him.

"Wei Tianyang-sama? I’m so glad... you’ve awakened," Fujiwara Makoto said.

"You can continue to call me Ishmael if you’d like," Wei Tianyang smiled.

Suddenly, Zhao Ling stepped forward, enveloped Wei Tianyang in her arms, and said, "It’s good you’ve awakened. I knew nothing would happen to you."

[Could we go further... Could we go even further...]

Wei Tianyang didn’t move in her embrace, allowing Zhao Ling to stroke his back, simply waiting quietly.

After a while, the three of them sat at the dining table on the ground floor, Wei Tianyang with a thin coat on, drinking a milk beverage.

"So, it’s been six months?" Wei Tianyang asked.

So, during this time, had Fujiwara Makoto been taking care of him all along?

"The situation outside has become very complicated, so you shouldn’t show yourself for now. Just stay in my safe house. If necessary, I can come over regularly to take care of you," Zhao Ling said, sitting beside him, her hand on his shoulder, tenderly.

"Makoto, thank you for taking care of me during this time," Wei Tianyang said to Fujiwara Makoto.

Her face flushed, she quickly replied, "Don’t say that, Brother Yang. I didn’t really do much. After you fell asleep, you’ve just been lying upstairs. I was just watching the house downstairs..."

"Your body, since it went into hibernation, has been like it stopped still, halting any form of metabolism. Your heart rate ceased, no breathing, only the brain was still active. Honestly, you scared me," Zhao Ling said.

"Thank you as well, for not having me cremated... By the way... you didn’t do anything strange to me during this time, did you?" Wei Tianyang asked.

For instance, being dragged to the lab for dissection, extracting body tissues or something... There were too many people wanting to uncover the secrets of Zero Nine One. Falling into a sleep state was a great opportunity for them to act.

[Was I discovered?!! No, could it be that he had awakened while I was touching him?!]

Zhao Ling maintained a smile, yet her heart was immensely tense.

"I didn’t let anyone touch you. After returning from Libitelli, I killed all the Inner Guards who were responsible for bringing you here. The number of people who know where you are doesn’t exceed five," Zhao Ling said with a smile.

Wei Tianyang bowed his head in contemplation. He hadn’t felt anything unusual about his body, so it seemed he really hadn’t been taken to a lab, and he believed Zhao Ling wouldn’t do such a thing either.

However, her earlier panic and the emotional disarray she displayed tonight—perhaps, after having bottled up her feelings for too long, and seeing a young, robust body, she got carried away and couldn’t help touching him while he was deeply asleep.

If touched, then touched, no loss there.

But Zhao Ling had killed all the Inner Guards who escorted him here and could still speak of it with a smile on her face; it showed a rather brutal side within her.

In the matter of the patricidal usurpation, she had lied to him. She didn’t only kill her father, but also her brothers...

Under the noble-sounding reasons lay nothing but a thirst for "power."

Yet her extreme protectiveness now was nothing more than viewing him as the strongest trump card to rid herself of the Lingxian Sect. Once he completely destroyed the Lingxian Sect—he was certainly going to do it—what then?

Would Zhao Ling, like she had the few Inner Guards, find a way to dispose of him too? Let’s leave aside whether she could achieve it.

"Why did you kill them? Since they could take such a responsibility, they must have been your confidants. Can even such people not be trusted?" Wei Tianyang asked.

"Yang, besides you, I don’t trust anyone now," Zhao Ling replied.
