[BL] Accidentally Becoming the Healer of the Deranged Archduke novel Chapter 260

Chapter 260: Why Don’t You Shout?

Mycosera Glacialis was in Xion’s bag, and he had even saved a huge amount in the system space, but at what cost?

His shoes got wet when he was trying to gather the plants from the hidden lake. He himself wasn’t spared from the chilly water either.

Just as he was done with the task, settling everything, the system disappeared suddenly.

With no other choice, he decided to first save his feet. Just as he was about to change his socks, he was unexpectedly attacked by the monster guarding that lake.

It was nothing more than bad luck. Cruel, unforgiving luck.

For a moment, everything was just white noise, drilling into his ear but not registering in his mind.

And then, a familiar ding echoed in his mind, clear and almost cheerful.

[Why don’t you shout His Grace’s name?]

Xion’s eyes snapped open, his heart lurching in his chest.

’You have the nerve to come back now?’ he snarled inwardly, fury lacing his mental voice. If he could move, he would have grabbed the system by its metaphorical collar and shaken it till it rattled.

[Now, now, dear host,] the System replied, its voice awfully cherry. [I did warn you that there might be some issues with the connection. But that’s not important right now, is it? We have bigger problems at hand, no?~]

Much to Xion’s chagrin, the system wasn’t wrong. He gritted his teeth, grimacing up at the endless white sky above him. ’I don’t suppose you plan to help me get this thing off, do you?’

[Ah, no can do! I am just a little assistant. But... I have something better! Something that fits the scenario perfectly~]

Xion’s eyebrow twitched. That tone... It was the one the System used when it was about to spew some nonsense.

By now, he had figured out that this little artificial assistant had started a new hobby, and it was watching dramas and reading mangas.

Most of them seemed to be BL. Sure enough, the next words were exactly what he had expected them to be.

[You know...] the System began in a hushed voice as if it were saying something mysterious, [when the couple goes to the mountain, there is always a plot of separation. The lover will shout the name, and the male lead will always come running. And then... well, you know what happens next. Hot steamy sex! Should we try it?~]

’Are you high on codes? Or did you finally short-circuit from watching too many BL dramas?’

Xion was more exasperated than embarrassed. ’Stop watching porn all day long, and find something to help me out.’

He lay there in the snow, waiting for his limbs to gain a bit of strength.

Pushing this dead mammoth off was going to take a lot of his power.

He didn’t want to use another dose to increase his power. Last time, he ended up in a coma. And if this system went offline again, wouldn’t he be stuck inside the lab?

The meeting time with Darius had already passed. The night was approaching fast and he wanted nothing else but to return by his lover’s side.

Will Darius be worried now?

When have you occupied so much of my heart that I thought of you and not Noxian or even Aunt Serena?

5000 points? Xion nearly laughed. ’Even if I had the points, I can’t move my damn hands!’ he nearly snapped.
