Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 75: Sleeping Beauty

Looking at the sleeping man, Shen Xu couldn’t help but worry.

It had only been four days outside the space but forty days in space.

However, Zhen Yuan had not woken up.

"Brother Yuan, why are you still sleeping?" Shen Xu wondered while taking the man’s pulse.

After reading several books, Shen Xu was now considered half a level one alchemist.

Although he had yet to refine a furnace of pills, he knew how to take a pulse and diagnose minor issues.

From Zhen Yuan’s pulse, there was nothing wrong with the man.

In fact, his body had long replenished its qi and soul power.

However, the man was still sleeping.

"Brother Yuan, hurry up and wake up." Shen Xu said with an aggrieved expression.

However, he soon regained his composure and left the space.

Outside the space, Shen Xu continued to read and review his alchemy inheritance.

At the moment, he was memorising the recipes for level one pills.

Healing pill.

Qi replenishing pill.

Qi gathering pill.

Blood replenishing pill.

Bone mending pill.

Body strengthening pill.

In the blink of an eye, another nine days passed.

During that time, Shen Xu memorised one thousand pill recipes.

At the same time, he studied and practised the related hand seals.

Unfortunately, because Zhen Yuan was still sleeping, Shen Xu could not attempt to refine any pills.

Thinking of the man, Shen Xu abandoned his books and dashed into the space.

A moment later, he appeared beside their bed.

"Brother Yuan." The double called while checking the man’s pulse.

However, the situation was still the same.

From his examination, the pulse was normal, and nothing was wrong with Zhen Yuan.

"Brother Yuan, you have been sleeping for one hundred and thirty days. How can you be so lazy? Hurry up and wake up." Shen Xu begged.

Unfortunately, he received no response.

At a loss, the double left the space and returned to their academy room.

’I hope the disciplinary hall won’t send word before Brother Yuan wakes up.’ Shen Xu thought.

After that, he began making a list.

Shen Xu previously asked Xiaoren to label the seeds in the storage room.

As a result, the outcome was unexpected.

Although there was a large variety of seeds in the storage room, most were high-level and could not be planted for the time being.

As for the low-level seeds, most were for obscure spirit grasses and very few for common spirit grasses.

Fortunately, the soul-replenishing grass was a relatively rare grass, so its seeds were in the storage room.

Still, its growth cycle was not short.

After thinking about it, Shen Xu made a list of all the spirit grasses needed in the one thousand pill recipes he learned.

When that was done, he planned to ask Manager Zhang to help them buy the grasses or seeds.

Before he knew it, another four days passed.

On the seventeenth day after Zhen Yuan fell unconscious, Shen Xu received a message from the little snake.

After investigation, it finally uncovered the truth behind Shi Qiao’s death.

However, Shen Xu didn’t dare to present the evidence to the disciplinary hall.

After all, Zhen Yuan was still asleep.

If the disciplinary hall elders wanted to see the person, Shen Xu didn’t know what he would do.

’Brother Yuan, you are giving me an ulcer. You have to hurry up and wake up.’ Shen Xu complained.

.....

At first, Zhen Yuan only wanted to replenish his qi and soul power.

However, after his body recovered, he suddenly had an epiphany.

In one moment, Zhen Yuan was sleeping, and in the next, he was sitting cross-legged under a tree.

At a glance, the tree had one hundred and eight silver leaves, nine golden flowers, and one purple fruit.

Looking at the tree, Zhen Yuan found it familiar and had a sense of yearning.

However, he couldn’t recall where he had seen the tree.

Most importantly, when he tried to think about it, a white fog filled his mind, disrupting his thoughts.

Eventually, Zhen Yuan stopped trying to think about it.

When he did, the fog disappeared, and hundreds of silver runes appeared in his mind.

’These are the laws I previously memorised but haven’t had a chance to comprehend.’ He thought and soon entered a strange trance.

Sitting under the tree, the jade water runes became easy to understand, and Zhen Yuan soon comprehended them.

However, his comprehension didn’t stop there.

After the jade water laws, the silver runes of the void stone appeared.

While comprehending these laws, Zhen Yuan entered a state of selflessness.

Unfortunately, there was no time and space in this state.

As a result, while Shen Xu was worried sick, Zhen Yuan was happily comprehending.

For him, his epiphany lasted a blink of an eye.

However, for Shen Xu, Zhen Yuan had been asleep for two hundred and forty days.

On this day, Shen Xu was reading an alchemy book.

However, just as he was about to turn the page, he heard a knock, and his heart dropped.

’It’s over.’ He thought.

’Yang Shi is still following the Shi family, and Song Wancheng would message before he drops by. If not them...’ Shen Xu gritted his teeth and clenched his hands.

’What to do? Why is Brother Yuan still sleeping? Is he sleeping beauty? ...but I have already given him a kiss. Why hasn’t he woken up?’ Shen Xu complained.

At the same time, he glared at the door, hoping the person would go away.

Unfortunately, wishes were not horses.

Despite his glare, the knock came again, and Shen Xu sighed.

’There is no other choice.’ He thought, removed a disguise talisman from his storage bag, and directly activated it.

A moment later, Shen Xu walked to the door and pulled it open.

"Fourth young master Shi, we have come for student Zhen Yuan. Please let him know." Xiao Feng said.

Hearing this, Shen Xu panicked, and his face lost all colour.

’What about the disguise talisman? Why can Xiao Feng see through my disguise? Didn’t the talisman work? Why haven’t I turned into Zhen Yuan?’ Shen Xu clenched his hands and numbly nodded.

With an expressionless face, he closed the door and went inside to ’call’ Zhen Yuan.
