Chapter 59
Changle lay against Su Li, sensing his firm grip on her hand. It even stung a bit… and she felt Su Li’s other hand securely holding her. There had been many words and emotions she had wanted to express to Su Li, but now she couldn’t find her voice.
Silence at this moment spoke louder than words!
After a long embrace, Su Li gradually released his hands and gently cradled Changle’s head.
“Awake?” Su Li’s face held a smile.
“Hmm…” Princess Changle responded softly.
“You can hear what I say?” Su Li inquired.
Princess Changle remained silent for a while.
“The stories you told me got all jumbled up later on.” Changle playfully nuzzled her head against Su Li’s chest.
“I’ll retell them for you!” Su Li’s face beamed with a smile.
He lifted Princess Changle gently and stood up.
Now… the night was deep, and daylight was still far off. Both Su Li and Princess Changle were wide awake.
With Changle awake now, everyone in the Princess Mansion would know by daybreak. Li Er and Empress Zhangsun would likely find out in no time.
They would need to deal with various visits and greetings at that point. As a newlywed couple who had just met, they wouldn’t have much alone time in the truest sense in the coming days.
And at this moment, with the Lord having affection and the concubine showing intention, Su Li couldn’t sleep either. It was a perfect time to chat with Princess Changle, discuss their strategy, and devise a plan to trick Li Er later.
“Darling…” Changle’s head rested against Su Li’s chest.
“Tomorrow, there will be more troubles. Once you wake up, the Princess Mansion might not settle down for a while,” Su Li said with a smile.
“Why don’t we talk more while we have this time…”
Princess Changle didn’t remember until Su Li reminded her.
Oh… this isn’t the world within my own consciousness.
Oh yes… and my parents will be very happy when they hear that I woke up.
At this moment… Li Er’s little padded jacket is all in pieces, completely useless for keeping warm.
But when I think about it, in addition to my father and mother, I’m afraid I have to face many people… thoughts of her own husband consumed Changle. She was only sparing some thoughts for her family. Thinking about the troubles she would have to deal with after waking up, Changle could not help but feel that staying asleep might be better. This way, nobody would disturb the world between herself and her husband.
“Maybe we shouldn’t reveal the news yet?” Changle had an unconventional idea and said to Su Li.
“Your Majesty and the Empress miss you so much, what are you thinking? Besides, after lying down for over two months, don’t you want to get up and see the world outside?” Su Li said with a smile.
Changle’s unconventional idea was quite constructive. Su Li could earn points for a long time again if he and Princess Changle acted together.
But thinking about it, it might not… waking up and pretending not to wake up would be pointless, wouldn’t it?
Moreover, Little Changle had been lying in bed for so long that she must want to see and experience the world firsthand. Su Li knew that Princess Changle really loved him, and she loved him deeply.
Princess Changle had already told him she had been fully conscious for a long time, right? To some extent, Su Li was Princess Changle’s only lifeline.
Judging by the genuine emotions that Princess Changle had been showing, Su Li figured that if he suggested Princess Changle pretend to still be in a coma to earn points, she would agree.
But… that would be manipulating her feelings.
Who would want to wake up and continue lying in bed like a log?
After being unconscious for so long, wouldn’t Princess Changle want to see and talk to her father and mother?
Given Changle’s emotions, Su Li’s previous concerns were swept away.
He would have no shortage of points in the future, and now Changle was sitting in his arms. And with Princess Changle waking up, Su Li’s point acquisition could reach new heights.
He and Princess Changle were a legitimate couple!
With the Lord’s affection and the concubine’s intention, they were heading toward each other with mutual feelings and intentions. There was no need to keep Changle lying on the bed just for the sake of earning points.
Moreover, what needed to be faced would eventually be faced, and the troubles that came with Princess Changle waking up were just part of the process.
They could handle them one by one.
In the past two months, Su Li was accumulating points to purchase Bodhi fruit, but it was not that no points were being spent.
Su Li continued to buy them as usual as long as the attribute points gift packs were refreshed.
Now, Su Li’s attributes have made significant progress in a complete sense.
This confidence gave Su Li the courage to proactively face this pile of troublesome matters.
“Open the attribute panel!”
As the words fell, in his mind, the attribute panel unfolded!
Name: Su Li
Age: 23
Strength: 176 (points can be added)
Constitution: 176 (can add points)
Acuity: 63 (points can be added)
Comprehension: 69 (points can be added)
Charisma: 63 (points can be added)
Available free attributes: 0
In two months, a total of 29 gift packs containing attribute points were refreshed. A sum of 74 free attributes were distributed. Both strength and physique surpassed the 150-point threshold, venturing into uncharted territory for humanity.
So, how did Su Li react to this situation now?
Su Li could hardly be categorized as human anymore. Su Li conducted a discreet experiment on himself, lightly cutting his skin with a knife. Within fifteen minutes, the bleeding stopped, scabs formed within thirty minutes, and complete healing occurred in less than an hour.
Oh… It was worth noting that it was quite a challenge even for Su Li to cut his skin with regular weapons using his own strength.
He struggled with over a dozen knives just to make a small incision. To achieve an experimental effect, he deliberately created a substantial wound with his own fingers.
As for the energy consumption required for wound healing… It amounted to eating two extra bowls of rice.
What did this imply?
It implied that in this age of bladed weapons, Su Li’s body was virtually impenetrable unless facing divine weaponry.
Ordinary blades and projectiles would leave no lasting scars on Su Li’s body.
This signified that as long as Su Li survived, no matter how severe his injuries, he only needed to consume a few more meals and would be back in top shape the next day.
What about reaching a point of physical exhaustion?
Su Li could only state that without any energy replenishment, he could fight non-stop for three days and nights!
His strength was even more awe-inspiring…
It surpassed even historical figures like Xiang Yu.
Su Li could not estimate his limits with a strength of 176 points. After all, he was constrained within the Princess Mansion, unable to fully unleash his power.
However, Su Li discreetly attempted it and found he could move the Mansion’s rockery. This was beyond merely displaying immense strength—when he concentrated all his strength, Su Li could displace the rockery in the Princess Mansion.
A single punch conservatively wielded the force of several thousand pounds.
What did this imply?
It meant that in this era of primitive weapons, it was a matter of life and death. In an era devoid of firearms and artillery, Su Li was a walking enigma.
As long as he desired, he could become a formidable force in the Tang Dynasty.
For now, let’s not discuss the possibility of antagonizing the world, and let’s ignore the fact that Su Li’s speed might not be sufficient. But if Su Li wished, he could easily eliminate Li Er.
It’s no wonder ancient times were better…
Su Li mused with delight.
His capabilities, if placed in modern times, would at most withstand a few RPG rounds. (ED Note: “RPG” refers to “Rocket-Propelled Grenade,” which is a type of explosive weapon. It may suggest that one’s abilities are limited to just a few powerful or impactful actions, similar to how an RPG is a powerful weapon but has a finite number of shots.)
If things got dire, a FIM-92 Stinger would make him go dead.
However, in ancient times… it would require marshaling the entire nation’s resources and wisdom to possibly contend with Su Li.
Su Li was, of course, confident in handling the impending troubles that would arise.
Furthermore, such issues were inevitable sooner or later. Expecting Princess Changle to remain bedridden for her entire life was unreasonable.
