Chapter 59:
Changle lay against Su Li, sensing his firm grip on her hand. It even stung a bit and she felt Su Lis other hand securely holding her. There had been many words and emotions she had wanted to express to Su Li, but now she couldnt find her voice.
Silence at this moment spoke louder than words!
After a long embrace, Su Li gradually released his hands and gently cradled Changles head.
Awake? Su Lis face held a smile.
Hmm Princess Changle responded softly.
You can hear what I say? Su Li inquired.
Princess Changle remained silent for a while.
The stories you told me got all jumbled up later on. Changle playfully nuzzled her head against Su Lis chest.
Ill retell them for you! Su Lis face beamed with a smile.
He lifted Princess Changle gently and stood up.
Now the night was deep, and daylight was still far off. Both Su Li and Princess Changle were wide awake.
With Changle awake now, everyone in the Princess Mansion would know by daybreak. Li Er and Empress Zhangsun would likely find out in no time.
They would need to deal with various visits and greetings at that point. As a newlywed couple who had just met, they wouldnt have much alone time in the truest sense in the coming days.
And at this moment, with the Lord having affection and the concubine showing intention, Su Li couldnt sleep either. It was a perfect time to chat with Princess Changle, discuss their strategy, and devise a plan to trick Li Er later.
Darling Changles head rested against Su Lis chest.
Tomorrow, there will be more troubles. Once you wake up, the Princess Mansion might not settle down for a while, Su Li said with a smile.
Why dont we talk more while we have this time
Princess Changle didnt remember until Su Li reminded her.
Oh this isnt the world within my own consciousness.
Oh yes and my parents will be very happy when they hear that I woke up.
At this moment Li Ers little padded jacket is all in pieces, completely useless for keeping warm.
But when I think about it, in addition to my father and mother, Im afraid I have to face many people thoughts of her own husband consumed Changle. She was only sparing some thoughts for her family. Thinking about the troubles she would have to deal with after waking up, Changle could not help but feel that staying asleep might be better. This way, nobody would disturb the world between herself and her husband.
Maybe we shouldnt reveal the news yet? Changle had an unconventional idea and said to Su Li.
Your Majesty and the Empress miss you so much, what are you thinking? Besides, after lying down for over two months, dont you want to get up and see the world outside? Su Li said with a smile.
Changles unconventional idea was quite constructive. Su Li could earn points for a long time again if he and Princess Changle acted together.
But thinking about it, it might not waking up and pretending not to wake up would be pointless, wouldnt it?
So, how did Su Li react to this situation now?
Su Li could hardly be categorized as human anymore. Su Li conducted a discreet experiment on himself, lightly cutting his skin with a knife. Within fifteen minutes, the bleeding stopped, scabs formed within thirty minutes, and complete healing occurred in less than an hour.
Oh It was worth noting that it was quite a challenge even for Su Li to cut his skin with regular weapons using his own strength.
He struggled with over a dozen knives just to make a small incision. To achieve an experimental effect, he deliberately created a substantial wound with his own fingers.
As for the energy consumption required for wound healing It amounted to eating two extra bowls of rice.
What did this imply?
It implied that in this age of bladed weapons, Su Lis body was virtually impenetrable unless facing divine weaponry.
Ordinary blades and projectiles would leave no lasting scars on Su Lis body.
This signified that as long as Su Li survived, no matter how severe his injuries, he only needed to consume a few more meals and would be back in top shape the next day.
What about reaching a point of physical exhaustion?
Su Li could only state that without any energy replenishment, he could fight non-stop for three days and nights!
His strength was even more awe-inspiring
It surpassed even historical figures like Xiang Yu.
Su Li could not estimate his limits with a strength of 176 points. After all, he was constrained within the Princess Mansion, unable to fully unleash his power.
However, Su Li discreetly attempted it and found he could move the Mansions rockery. This was beyond merely displaying immense strengthwhen he concentrated all his strength, Su Li could displace the rockery in the Princess Mansion.
A single punch conservatively wielded the force of several thousand pounds.
What did this imply?
It meant that in this era of primitive weapons, it was a matter of life and death. In an era devoid of firearms and artillery, Su Li was a walking enigma.
As long as he desired, he could become a formidable force in the Tang Dynasty.
For now, lets not discuss the possibility of antagonizing the world, and lets ignore the fact that Su Lis speed might not be sufficient. But if Su Li wished, he could easily eliminate Li Er.
Its no wonder ancient times were better
Su Li mused with delight.
His capabilities, if placed in modern times, would at most withstand a few RPG rounds. (ED Note: RPG refers to Rocket-Propelled Grenade, which is a type of explosive weapon. It may suggest that ones abilities are limited to just a few powerful or impactful actions, similar to how an RPG is a powerful weapon but has a finite number of shots.)
If things got dire, a FIM-92 Stinger would make him go dead.
However, in ancient times it would require marshaling the entire nations resources and wisdom to possibly contend with Su Li.
Su Li was, of course, confident in handling the impending troubles that would arise.
Furthermore, such issues were inevitable sooner or later. Expecting Princess Changle to remain bedridden for her entire life was unreasonable.
