Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

"Knock, knock, knock~~" Xu Changping walked to the door next door in a hurry. He was worried that Yang Xiaoyue might not hear the knock, so he raised his hand without hesitation and knocked on the door several times in a row with increased force.

Along with the crisp and loud knocking sounds, his slightly anxious shout also rang out: "Xiao Yue, are you okay? Can I come in?"

However, after a long while, an extremely weak response came from the room, and a weak voice came: "Well, come in."

If Xu Changping's hearing had not always been above average, he would probably have ignored this sound as thin as a mosquito.

After hearing the answer that he was allowed to enter, Xu Changping gently pushed open the door and carefully stepped into the room.

As he slowly walked towards the house, he raised his voice and shouted inside, "I'm coming in!" He did this, firstly to remind Yang Xiaoyue in the bedroom again, and secondly because he was afraid that he would accidentally see some scene that he shouldn't see.

Therefore, at this moment Xu Changping's voice was obviously much louder than usual.

Hearing Xu Changping's voice, Yang Xiaoyue used all her strength to force herself to stay awake and hummed: "Hmm."

After getting a clear answer, Xu Changping reached out and lifted the curtain that separated the living room and bedroom, then quickly walked into the bedroom.

When his eyes fell on the bed, he was instantly shocked by what he saw. Yang Xiaoyue's face was as pale as paper, and she looked lifeless and extremely listless.

Seeing this, Xu Changping's heart tightened. He quickly quickened his pace and walked to the bedside. Without bothering to say anything, he hurriedly fed Yang Xiaoyue a pill to strengthen her body.

After seeing that her complexion had improved a little, he asked with concern: "What on earth is going on?"

Yang Xiaoyue felt that she had regained some strength, so she clenched her teeth and tried her best to wave to tell Xu Changping that she was fine.

But he found that no matter how hard he tried, his arms seemed to be pressed down by a heavy burden and he couldn't move at all. He had no choice but to force his mouth and said, "It's nothing. I just used my internal energy last night."

Ever since the semi-reveal with Xu Changping, Yang Xiaoyue has always referred to her special ability as internal force.

It’s strange, for some reason, as her ability level continued to increase, the backlash she suffered every time she used her ability became more and more intense.

Back then, when her superpowers were still at a relatively low level, she could easily deal with a dozen street thugs on her own without being at a disadvantage.

But who could have thought that just last night, just dealing with a few small thugs would bring such a huge backlash to himself.

A barely perceptible gloom suddenly flashed across Xu Changping's eyes. He looked serious and asked solemnly, "It wasn't this serious when you came back last night!"

After listening to Yang Xiaoyue's words just now, a bad guess arose in his mind, but in order to verify whether this idea was correct, he needed to ask again.

Yang Xiaoyue showed a bitter smile on her pale face: "I just felt a little tired when I came back last night, but I didn't expect it to become like this this morning." She didn't understand what caused it to become like this.

Xu Changping's eyes flickered slightly, as if a ray of light flashed across his eyes, and then he asked, "Do you still remember when your internal energy started to backfire after you used it up?"

After hearing this question, Yang Xiaoyue hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking: "This...I only noticed it after you mentioned it last time. After all, I haven't used it much before."

In fact, she did not deceive Xu Changping with these words, because she had never encountered any danger in her life. At most, she just used a little bit of her supernatural power to teach a lesson to those who offended her.

The only thing was that after Xu Changping revealed the restrictions last time, she gave birth to a carnivorous plant that looked a little malnourished in Xu Changping's house. It was then that she noticed for the first time the backlash after using supernatural powers.

"Is that so?" Xu Changping nodded slightly, frowned and thought for a moment before suddenly saying, "What's the current level of your supernatural power?"

Yang Xiaoyue had never expected Xu Changping to ask such a question. Before her brain could react, her mouth had already answered: "Level 7."

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she secretly said in her heart that it was not good. Her face, which was originally slightly pale due to nervousness, instantly turned bloodless and frighteningly white.

The incident happened so suddenly that even the usually calm Xu Changping was startled by the sudden change and stood there like a petrified man.

For a moment, the whole room fell into deathly silence. The awkward atmosphere was like an invisible thick fog that quickly spread and made people feel suffocated.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Finally, it was Xu Changping who took the lead in breaking the unbearable silence. He laughed dryly and said, "This...haha...ha..." However, his laughter did not have any effect. Instead, it made the atmosphere even weirder.

At this time, Yang Xiaoyue also recovered from her shock. She looked straight at Xu Changping with a very stiff expression on her face. She asked with a slightly trembling voice: "How... did you know that I have superpowers?"

For Yang Xiaoyue, possessing superpowers has always been a secret deep in her heart. She never thought that anyone except her sister would know about it.

She never dreamed that Xu Changping actually knew that she had superpowers, and it seemed that he had known about it for a long time.

Fortunately, the person who knew about it was Xu Changping. If someone else didn't know, something would have happened.

Xu Changping pondered for a moment, looked at Yang Xiaoyue and said, "This...the first time I took your pulse." At that time, he felt the strange energy in Yang Xiaoyue's body that contained strange vitality.

Yang Xiaoyue said somewhat disappointedly: "So early!" She tried so hard to hide it for such a long time, and she didn't know if she looked like a clown in Xu Changping's eyes.

As Yang Xiaoyue put on a look of despair, the atmosphere in the room became tense again.

Just when Xu Changping was thinking about how to break the deadlock, Xiao Mi's crisp voice suddenly came from the door: "Brother Tangguo, is my sister awake?"

"Don't worry, we can talk about it when I come back in the evening." Considering Xiaomi at the door, Xu Changping quickly comforted Yang Xiaoyue.

Then, he shouted loudly to the outside: "She's awake. She's still feeling a little uncomfortable. Let her continue to rest."

When Xiao Mi heard what Xu Changping said, she replied simply, "Okay then." It's good that she woke up. Xiao Mi was afraid that her sister would be unconscious all the time.

When she just woke up in the morning, she found that something was wrong with her sister, but she was too young to do anything, so she could only squat in Xu Changping's house and wait for him to open the door.
