How can you still give merit to saving sentient beings?

Chapter 31 Like a dream
An uncontrollable feeling of weightlessness filled her surroundings. Ning Shuang suddenly felt her scalp numb, and a throbbing pain spread from the side of her head to other places. She shrank unconsciously.

Shuo Ming felt her movements, and in the strong wind, he gently stroked her hair and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, as long as I am here, I will definitely protect you."

Ning Shuang didn't understand the reason for her strange feeling. After hearing Shuo Ming's words, she felt her nose was sore again.

She was a little dazed by this and tried to struggle. Even if she was unable to do anything, she should be the last to die here.

Shuo Ming did not doubt her intentions because of everything in the past. He hugged her tighter and murmured softly.

"You don't have to do anything for me."

"I will protect you, I will."

These two short sentences are a repeated promise to Ningshuang, and they are a continuous declaration of love.

At the moment of life and death, Shuo Ming did not feel the slightest despair. He only thought that he could finally do something useful for her, and he was extremely happy, that's all.

Before she had time to respond, Ning Shuang suddenly felt dizzy, as if she was instantly drawn into a whirlpool, and the next moment she and Shuo Ming lost consciousness at the same time.

I don't know how much time passed, but Ning Shuang's delicate fingers moved slightly and gradually regained some sense.

When she frowned and opened her eyes, she found herself lying on a piece of grass.

As the aroma of wild flowers and grass inhaled into his chest, Ning Shuang's thoughts gradually became clearer.

Shuo Ming was in a different situation than her. He fell down not far away and was still unconscious.

Ning Shuang hurriedly went to check on him.

Shuo Ming fell into a deep coma. Ning Shuang roughly checked his body. There were no external injuries, but he was still awake.

I originally wanted to ask the system, but there was no message from the system at all.

Not only that, even her own merit book has disappeared, not to mention her magic power. She is now just like an ordinary human in the mortal world.

Ning Shuang was shocked, so she had to use the most basic method to check Shuoming's pulse and check his condition.

It was probably just a temporary coma. Ning Shuang breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to look around to see what was going on here.

How could such a good person have such an outrageous cliff?
Although things happened suddenly, Ning Shuang did not panic. Her companions would definitely try their best to find them if they found out that they disappeared.

During this period, she thought about her idea again to see if she could break out on her own.

At a glance, there is a simple but elegant green bamboo house not far away.

Ning Shuang carried Shuo Ming and moved him over. After confirming that no one was there, she placed him on the bed so that he could rest better.

Exploring towards the east, she guessed that this place might be some kind of illusion. After all, she knew that the monsters here were very confusing.

The scenery is very good, full of greenery and chirping birds.

But what he saw right now might be all fake. Ning Shuang thought that with her current abilities, she could try to find a flaw on the edge of the illusion, and then break through.

Before returning to Shuo Ming, Ning Shuang found some herbs that could be used.

Although this place has many restrictions, she can feel that these herbs contain spiritual power.

I just don't know if it can really work on Shuo Ming if it's an illusion, but I have to give it a try.

Ning Shuang also picked some fruits. She could eat them or not, but Shuo Ming still needed to replenish her strength.

When Ning Shuang returned to the bamboo hut, Shuo Ming was still unconscious.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the herbs in her hand.

Now that there are only two of them and they have lost their magic power, once she takes action, there will be no way to hide it.

Shuo Ming is not stupid either. He used to get very excited when he caught clues, and he could even think about it without even thinking about it.

Now if you wake up and find yourself being treated by her, your progress will definitely be affected.

Even if the progress and merit are not reflected according to the situation now, after leaving here, Shuo Ming's heart will definitely remain unchanged, and the progress will naturally change at that time.

Ning Shuang carried the utensils outside the house to cook the medicine, looking at the flames and thinking about how to solve the problem.

No matter what, we can’t let all the hard work we’ve done before go to waste.Fortunately, there are two of them in this place. No matter what happens, there is no proof other than them.

Ning Shuang knew that she must be an image in Shuo Ming's heart who was only indifferent and disgusted with him.

If she still did what the system taught her, Shuo Ming would definitely deceive herself and make random guesses.

Therefore, the best way is to face him as you treat everyone else, which will surprise him to the point of disbelief.

After leaving here, return to indifference and act as if nothing happened.

Shuo Ming naturally suspected that it was his problem.

After deciding what to do, Ning Shuang felt a lot more relaxed.

Carefully carrying the medicine bowl, she crossed the threshold and entered the house.

Shuo Ming opened her eyes slowly just in time, followed the approaching footsteps, and eagerly stood up and asked with concern: "How do you feel?"

Ning Shuang seemed to be fine, but it was strange why she smiled so gently at him. Was it because of his behavior when he fell off the cliff?
Shuo Ming didn't dare to insist.

Ning Shuang walked forward with a faint smile: "I'm fine. Are you feeling uncomfortable in any way?"

She put the medicine aside first and felt Shuo Ming's pulse, which was much smoother than before going to bed.

Shuo Ming stared at their hands. His soft words surprised him. Ning Shuang's actions at this moment made him freeze even more. He couldn't believe it.

Although Ning Shuang's attitude toward him was strangely good, it did not contain the disguised charm of the evil spirits she had encountered in Yuanyun Pavilion before.

He was doubtful, but he responded happily: "I'm fine too, I made you worry."

Ning Shuang looks calm on the surface, but in fact her heartbeat is racing.

Although she usually treats others like this, she doesn't know why. Maybe she has been pretending in front of Shuo Ming for a long time, but she suddenly feels uncomfortable facing him with her true personality.

"You have a good rest after drinking the medicine. There are also fruits here. You can eat them when you are hungry. I will go and have a look in the distance."

Ning Shuang said as she took out two small red fruits and placed them in his hands.

Facing Shuo Ming's sincere and hot gaze, she couldn't bear it, so she hurriedly helped him lie down and covered him with the quilt.

As a result, when he stood up, his wrist was gently held by Shuo Ming.

There were little glimmers of water in his eyes, and his eyes as he stared at Ning Shuang were filled with disbelief and expectation.

Ning Shuang was a little panicked by that look, but she still asked gently: "What's wrong?"

This time, Shuo Ming didn't express much of his feelings as usual, but with a little bit of hard-to-capture cherishment.

"Will you be back soon?"

Ning Shuang nodded and responded, "Yes, I'll be back in a moment."

Only then did Shuo Ming let go.

Ning Shuang smiled lightly, turned and left.

She planned to wait for Shuo Ming to move on his own before setting off with him. When he was tired, he would rest anytime and anywhere, and then walk further away without turning back.

When he returned, Shuoming had already sat up and was leaning against the bed frame, staring at the fruit in his hand.

Ning Shuang couldn't guess what he was thinking, so she asked from the window: "Why don't you lie down and rest for a while?"

Shuo Ming followed the voice and looked towards her. At sunset, the lemon frost was covered with colorful rays of light, which was soft and moving.

He didn't want to break the beauty of this moment, and Ning Shuang was waiting for the answer gently and patiently.

He didn't rest just now, but fell into worry——

From falling off the cliff to seeing each other again after coma, maybe it was just a dream before death, right?
