“Pe…riod.”
Su Aoxue was stunned the moment she heard those two words.
Ling Feng frowned and looked at Su Aoxue. “You don’t even know that, do you?”
“No, I do, of course I do!”
Su Aoxue had a younger sister. When their mother was away for long periods, she would help buy sanitary products. Naturally, she knew about these things.
Moreover, she had wanted to ask Ling Feng about this matter before.
Since Ling Feng brought it up now, it reminded Su Aoxue of something she had previously forgotten.
“Can martial artists freely control this? After all, bleeding once a month is really inconvenient!”
“Oh?” Ling Feng slightly raised an eyebrow and spoke. “It is possible, but you’re not there yet.”
Hearing that there was hope, Su Aoxue immediately became happy. “Then what do I need to do?”
“That would be to reach S-rank Martial Artist and undergo Life Evolution once more. When your body reaches a new level, this situation will stop happening, and it won’t affect fertility.”
Ling Feng said meaningfully, extending a finger to poke Su Aoxue’s belly.
The latter immediately slapped away Ling Feng’s meddlesome hand. “If you’re going to talk, talk properly! No hands!”
Ling Feng was nonchalant. “Okay~”
‘Even if there were a way, I wouldn’t tell you. Since you’ve become a girl, you should properly experience this thing that only happens to girls!’
“Are there any other methods?” Su Aoxue asked reluctantly after slapping away Ling Feng’s hand.
Without any hesitation, Ling Feng directly shook her head. “No, there aren’t. Work hard and reach S-rank Martial Artist.”
‘Old Shen has the most clever ideas; he might have a solution?’
As she thought, Su Aoxue looked at Ling Feng. “So, Sister Ling Feng, do you have anything else?”
“What do you mean by that? Giving your Sister Ling Feng the boot?”
Ling Feng was displeased. She crossed her arms and looked at Su Aoxue. “You… just work hard.”
“But, well, there really isn’t anything else right now. Here, this is for you.”
Ling Feng said, stuffing a small pouch into Su Aoxue’s hands, then left the room.
The moment she opened the pouch, Su Aoxue’s ears began to heat up.
“This is…”
“So Sister Ling Feng didn’t just come to remind me, she even specifically bought me these things!”
After a moment of embarrassment, Su Aoxue threw the pouch into the nearby bathroom. “No way. If I have to carry a monthly bleeding buff, how can I be a martial artist?”
“Tomorrow morning, I’ll go ask Old Shen if there’s a way. That’s settled.”
“…In Xiao Qing’s name? Xiao Qing shouldn’t mind, right…”
But just as Su Aoxue revealed a slightly relaxed smile, her expression stiffened again.
“Wait, Old Shen is a grown man. Does he really know about these kinds of folk remedies?”
Since the outbreak of the City-Destroying Crisis, Shen Yan had demonstrated a wide variety of small skills along the way, each of them extremely practical.
So much so that Su Aoxue subconsciously thought of Shen Yan as a universal skill book.
“Forget it. I’ll test the waters. After all, I’m asking for Xiao Qing’s sake… what does it have to do with me?”
Did she have to accept the buff of bleeding for nine days every month for a long time to come?
With no other choice, Su Aoxue sighed.
“By the way, does Old Shen even know I’ve become a girl?”
Puzzled, Su Aoxue threw herself onto the bed and lay still for a few minutes.
Soon, she felt something beside her radiating heat constantly. She looked up at the blue pillow beside her, hesitated for a moment, then pulled it into her arms and hugged it.
“For… for experimenting.” Nine minutes later… “Alright, I have to admit, hugging this thing is indeed very comfortable.”
“Speaking of which, my sleep quality has been really bad since my body temperature dropped. If this thing really works, the person who invented it is a genius.”
“I wonder how Ice Nose Energy users managed before this thing existed? Did they just tough it out?”
The next moment, Su Aoxue wrapped herself up in the blanket with the pillow.
Holding a pillow that was much warmer than her own body temperature, a satisfied expression appeared on her face.
But soon, she snapped back from the pillow’s warmth, her expression turning slightly conflicted.
“Old Shen gave me potions, gave me a pillow, and didn’t take a single cent.”
“He usually talks little, and his smiles look very forced, like he’s carrying a heavy heart, like an old senior.”
“What happened in the future?”
“How long did Old Shen live in his previous life before he was reborn? Is he already an old man by now?”
Su Aoxue increasingly felt that Shen Yan’s recent care for her went beyond brotherly friendship.
It felt more like an elder treating a junior?
Realizing this, Su Aoxue felt quite uncomfortable.
Who would have imagined that just a few days ago they were good brothers of the same age, but after a few days apart, not only had the other become more mature, but even his age had increased by several rounds.
“I wonder how old he was when he was reborn in his previous life. Could he already be an old man?”
“It doesn’t seem like it. He still has the heart to joke with me, so probably not that old.”
Burying her face in the pillow, Su Aoxue couldn’t help but wildly speculate.
“But if he falls for a girl, wouldn’t that be an old cow eating tender grass? Hahaha…”
The next morning, Su Aoxue woke up naturally. She sat up easily and began to stretch. Then she looked at the blue pillow beside her with surprise. “It’s been a long time since I slept until I woke up naturally. This pillow really works!”
But when she entered the bathroom to wash up and saw the small pouch she had left there last night, her good mood instantly soured.
“What a hassle. I’ll go ask later, I guess.”
As luck would have it, as soon as she left her room, Su Aoxue happened to see Shen Yan holding a serving of breakfast, looking like he was about to return to his room.
“You’re up. Did you sleep well last night?” Shen Yan asked with a slight smile, not deliberately inquiring about the effect of the ‘gift’.
“Not bad. It’s been a while since I slept so comfortably.”
As she spoke, Su Aoxue looked around. After making sure no one else was nearby, she immediately closed in on Shen Yan.
“By the way, I want to ask something for my sister!”
Hearing it was about Xiao Qing, Shen Yan felt a little surprised. “Go ahead, ask away.”
“She wants to know… well, if there’s a way to not get your period.”
