Jian Qinwan looked anxious, examining Liang Xiao’s arm. Finding no abnormalities, she grew puzzled.
Then, she looked up to see Liang Xiao frozen in place.
In a mere moment, Liang Xiao felt an indescribable sensation within his body.
Comfortable, to say the least!
Now, Liang Xiao felt that everything before him had become even clearer than before.
In the dim candlelight, the room’s contents were still clearly visible to his eyes.
Even the sound of the wind outside, Liang Xiao could hear it clearly with careful listening!
“What’s happening to me? Night vision? Hearing the wind?”
Liang Xiao was shocked, yet his mind felt incredibly clear, surpassing any previous moment.
With the doubts in his heart, Liang Xiao thought and casually wrote down two random six-digit numbers using Arabic numerals.
Under Jian Qinwan’s bewildered gaze, Liang Xiao began to solve the multiplication of the two numbers.
Jian Qinwan watched the string of numbers Liang Xiao wrote, not understanding, her eyes full of worry as she held onto Liang Xiao’s arm.
Could he have lost his mind…
Looking at the final answer on the paper, Liang Xiao remained silent.
For him to become a “Heavenly General,” surpassing all special forces and agents in the world, it wasn’t solely due to his combat abilities. The most crucial factor was his exceptionally agile mind, capable of quickly devising strategies while also adapting to changing circumstances.
He was merely testing his mental calculation ability, giving the answer in an instant, and then solving it on paper for verification.
The answer was correct!
He discovered that his mental calculation ability had inexplicably improved.
To be precise, he confirmed that his mind had become more agile, and his entire body was full of vitality…
However, he did not feel any “true qi,” “spiritual energy,” or “immortal energy” being generated…
“What exactly is the Xichuan Sword Clan’s most treasured possession…”
Liang Xiao looked bewildered, holding Jian Qinwan’s equally bewildered hand, he walked out of the room and looked into the distance.
On a distant rooftop, a cat squatted, licking its paw, with a crescent moon overhead.
Liang Xiao focused his gaze, and his pupils contracted sharply!
While his night vision was already strong, this cat should have been a hundred meters away, yet he could clearly see its movements, even discerning the details of its paw and tongue…
Liang Xiao almost suffocated.
Had I stopped being human and evolved into an ultimate life form???
Even in the era of his homeland, such a bizarre situation had not occurred, and so-called “gene enhancement” had not even been achieved.
“What is it…” Jian Qinwan clung to Liang Xiao’s arm, almost crying in distress.
Liang Xiao quickly comforted her, telling Jian Qinwan about his changes.
“Something like this can happen? How about, should I call my mother and them to take a look?” Jian Qinwan tentatively suggested.
Liang Xiao’s changes were due to her clan’s treasure, making him somewhat peculiar, and his writing of these “messy” characters made her feel immense worry and guilt.
Half an hour later, the Medical Saint Mu Xueqin released Liang Xiao’s wrist and looked at the anxious Jian Nanfeng and Jian Qinwan.
“No issues can be detected. He is no different from an ordinary person.”
The father and daughter finally breathed a sigh of relief, then observed the calm Liang Xiao.
“No need to worry, I was just initially surprised,” Liang Xiao said with a smile.
Mu Xueqin comforted them, “The Xichuan Sword Clan is a prestigious family, always acting with integrity. Although the function of their treasured possession is unknown now, by all accounts, it should not be something used to harm people. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have used silver dragon gold to craft the mechanism and seal it specifically.”
“The situation was urgent back then, and my father didn’t have time to tell me the detailed information about the clan’s treasure…” Jian Nanfeng said with shame.
Liang Xiao agreed, “Indeed, such a mechanism, made with silver dragon gold, would likely take decades or even a century to craft.”
“It’s good that you’re alright!” Seeing Liang Xiao fully recovered, Jian Qinwan’s face bloomed with joy, and she comforted him, “Perhaps it’s some kind of precious elixir, destined to be for you~”
Everyone finally relaxed, yet they were astonished by the changes Liang Xiao described.
Night vision capable of seeing far? And hearing the wind?
Liang Xiao reminded them, “This matter must be kept secret for now, partly to prevent enemies from knowing about my changes, and partly to avoid worrying Qingxue and the others during their wedding…”
The three nodded in agreement.
After all, Liang Xiao was still the true Heavenly General. If these changes benefited him, he could catch enemies off guard in the future.
“Mother will be staying in the capital during this period, taking care of you all at any time, so don’t worry,” Mu Xueqin said with a smile, patting Liang Xiao’s shoulder, then she turned serious, “My son’s body has recovered very well. Your father and I will not disturb your important business. Hurry up and let your mother hold her grandchild.”
Important business?
Jian Qinwan, who had been joyful for Liang Xiao, blushed deeply and glared resentfully at the door her parents had just closed.
“You heard them, I really can’t do anything about your parents,” Liang Xiao sighed, his true nature beginning to show.
The familiar nature, the familiar shameless words…
Jian Qinwan lowered her head, allowing Liang Xiao to lift her.
In the early morning, Jian Qinwan, nestled in the blankets, opened her drowsy eyes and peeked at Liang Xiao. She saw him staring at the ceiling with a pensive expression.
Jian Qinwan quickly covered her blushing face with the quilt, “You… you’ve been ‘bad’ all night, how are you still so energetic…”
Last night, she couldn’t contend with Liang Xiao and had begged for mercy early on.
“Hmm… I haven’t slept,” Liang Xiao sighed.
After coaxing Jian Qinwan to sleep late at night, Liang Xiao had also intended to sleep.
However, when he closed his eyes, he couldn’t fall asleep at all.
Later, Liang Xiao tried to think about military and political affairs. Not only did he not feel sleepy, but his thoughts became increasingly clear.
Many details he had previously overlooked seemed apparent.
Many details he had previously thought were not done well, he could now devise better optimization methods.
Liang Xiao genuinely suspected he had evolved and was no longer human…
“Is it because of last night’s changes that you’re too exhilarated…” Jian Qinwan’s voice was weak.
“Perhaps,” Liang Xiao nodded slightly.
Jian Qinwan pleaded, “You… go bother them instead! I admit I was wrong. Spare me tonight, my lord husband…”
After Liang Xiao led the brides to pay their respects to the elders, at noon, Xiao Qing was in Liang Xiao’s room. Listening to Liang Xiao recount last night’s events, and looking at the still energetic Liang Xiao, she was shocked.
“This is a good thing, right? At least, Brother Xiao might have become smarter…” Xiao Qing offered comfort.
Considering she was the ruler of a nation, Liang Xiao still informed her of his changes promptly, which would be convenient for future actions.
Liang Xiao simply smiled and nodded, feeling a strange bitterness in his heart.
Prolonged sleeplessness or lack of sleep would affect one’s mental state, and could even lead to a mental breakdown.
At the dinner table, the brides chatted and laughed, but only Jian Qinwan dared not speak, fearing her sisters would question her as they had questioned Princess Ning Shuang initially.
In the imperial garden of the Great Liang Dynasty, Emperor Mu Cheng was enjoying the music, feeling a sense of inner peace. Qin Feng, Su Wencheng, and others sat nearby.
Mu Cheng slowly opened his eyes, looking at Su Wanqing who was playing the zither, a hint of joy in his eyes.
At night, Xiao Qing sat with the brides, reminiscing and listening to Yue Lian recount Liang Xiao’s childhood “heroic deeds.”
Luo Qingxue smiled and said, “It’s clear he was a scoundrel even as a child. He still seduces men when he grows up. Look at General Lu and the others; the way they look at him is so strange. We sisters need to keep an eye out, lest we have to compete with these men for him later.”
Liang Xiao, who had been pretending to be asleep nearby, already frustrated by his inability to sleep, opened one eye and glanced over upon hearing Luo Qingxue’s laughter.
