Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 290

Chapter 290: Belong To Me

A young body lay sprawled on the soft grass under the sun, a martial arts manual covering his face as a form of protection against the sun.

"I should really get out of the sun," the boy thought lazily, feeling the warmth beginning to make him drowsy despite the book’s protection.

"But I’m too lazy to move..."

He then sighed in resignation as he turned onto his side. The movement caused the martial arts manual that had been resting on his face to slip and fall onto the grass beside him. The sudden exposure to the bright sunlight made him squint reflexively.

"Well, the sun will go away at some point," he thought, accepting his fate rather than expending the energy required to retrieve the book or find proper shade just a few meters away.

He suddenly felt a cool shadow fall across his face, blocking out the intense rays of the sun. _{f(r)eew(e)bnovel.(c)o(m)}

He slowly opened his eyes, blinking several times to adjust to the change in lighting. His gaze met that of a young girl who stood directly above him. Her silhouette was backlit by the sun, creating an angel like appearance.

"Well would you look at that, it actually did go away," he thought.

"Senior brother, what are you doing?" Li Yao asked.

"I’m practicing, can’t you see?" he replied, turning to point at his martial art manual but was surprised when he couldn’t find it.

"I could’ve sworn it was here just a second ago," he thought, becoming a little concerned since losing cultivation materials was generally frowned upon in the sect. If his master found out about this, he would never hear the end of it.

"Looking for this?" Li Yao asked with a smile, holding up the manual that he had been using as sun protection just moments earlier.

He sighed in relief, his shoulders relaxing as the panic subsided.

"Ah, I thought I lost it," he said gratefully, then promptly lay back down on the grass.

"Senior brother, why don’t you like practicing? Don’t you always say you want to live forever?" Li Yao asked.

"I don’t have the talent for it, so I don’t bother," he said.

He then raised his eyes once again to look at her.

"Why do you try so hard?" he asked.

Li Yao immediately puffed out her chest with pride, her eyes sparkling with determination and confidence. "I want to conquer the whole world and become an empress," she declared.

Xiang Yu couldn’t help but chuckle at her declaration.

"What? You don’t think I can do it?" she asked.

"You think the heavens will let you do that?" he asked.

"Well, if they don’t, then I’ll simply conquer the heavens too," she said matter-of-factly.

"It’s nice to have dreams," he said with a smile, then turned around and closed his eyes again.

"Now if you’ll excuse me..."

Li Yao showed a pout at his dismissive response before reluctantly leaving him to his rest.

Some time passed, and when she returned, it was already dark outside.

"Senior brother, wake up, it’s already night," she said, gently shaking his shoulder to wake him up.

"I’m too tired, I’ll just lie here for a while longer," he mumbled without opening his eyes.

"You’re always tired. Get up before the monsters come and eat you," she said.

"But that’s too much work," he protested weakly.

Li Yao sighed in defeat, then walked over and picked him up in a princess carry. With her cultivation, she could easily pick him up despite his protests.
