The Fake Daughter Is Not Innocent Chapter 23

She thought of the power that had just helped her.

She was still unaware that it was the amulet.

“Amulet?”

Xiao Ying called out, but the amulet did not respond.

She tried calling him a few more times, but there was still no response.

Could the amulet have fallen asleep?

What was even more terrifying was that she realized that she could not return to the mortal plane without the help of the amulet.

Her soul floated over to the amulet’s light ball.

For some reason, she reached out and caught the wavering ball of light.

With her support, the flickering light on the light cluster finally stabilized a little.

Xiao Ying, who was a little nervous, finally relaxed.

It seemed that her method was helpful to the amulet.

She did not know why she had suddenly done this. It seemed like she had seen someone do it before.

However, Xiao Ying was very certain that there was no such memory.

She had never seen this amulet before.

Though time passed, she had no concept of time in her sea of consciousness.

After a while:

She was worried about the amulet. After all, it had turned gray.

At the same time, she was worried that Cheng Yang might notice her strange behavior.

Fortunately, she had a past record of lazing around in bed. Cheng Yang probably wouldn’t call her too early.

He had indeed been waiting for her downstairs.

Based on his understanding of her, he felt that she would not stay in bed anymore.

After all, she had already been so embarrassed yesterday morning.

She still hadn’t come down by 10 o’clock.

Cheng Yang was a little surprised. This girl was more brazen than he thought.

He suddenly did not want her to sleep so comfortably.

He walked up to her door and pushed it open.

He saw a lump on the bed.

Cheng Yang slowly walked over to the window and said with a smile, “The sun is about to set, why isn’t the lazy girl awake yet?”

Xiao Ying did not reply.

He felt that something was off and slowly approached Xiao Ying’s bedside.

As he approached, Xiao Ying felt the amulet in her hand move slightly.

Because she was closely linked to the amulet.

When the amulet absorbed the energy this time, Xiao Ying actually felt something.

She saw silver threads slowly flowing in from the outside world and being absorbed by the ball of light in her hand.

He even absorbed some of her soul.

The silver threads entered Xiao Ying’s soul.

She felt a little warm and a little strange at the same time.

But she knew that Cheng Yang was definitely by her side. After all, he was the only one with such energy.

While Xiao Ying was relieved that the amulet was getting better, she was also worried that Cheng Yang would notice something strange going on.

After her previous experience, Xiao Ying knew that she did not look good after finishing the course.

It would probably be even worse after finishing an intermediate-level courses.

Cheng Yang slowly lifted Xiao Ying’s blanket.

Xiao Ying, who was hiding in her sea of consciousness, felt Cheng Yang’s aura getting closer and closer.

She began to panic.

Without a soul, her body would become stiff like a zombie.

If Cheng Yang found out, he would treat her as a supernatural phenomenon.

He put his hand on her blanket.

With a push, it was sent flying.

Cheng Yang was looking at Xiao Ying, who had just opened her eyes.

Xiao Ying waved at him. “Hi!”

She did not know if Cheng Yang had noticed anything earlier, so she could only vaguely greet him to test him.

Cheng Yang raised his eyebrows and mocked, “This is the first time I’ve seen someone who can sleep so soundly. Calling you a lazy pig would really not even be an insult to you.”

For the first time, Xiao Ying was not angry at Cheng Yang’s words.

Instead, she just heaved a sigh of relief.

Judging from Cheng Yang’s casual reaction, he probably hadn’t noticed anything.

Cheng Yang looked at the sweating Xiao Ying and asked again, “Is my house that hot?”
