The Heartthrob Protagonist Just Wants To Monopolize Me Chapter 139.4

When Pei Yuan revealed that he was the root cause of all this chaos, Ji Mingxia didn’t have too many thoughts in his mind, aside from the shock, he only wanted to save Yu Ning.

Only at this moment did Ji Mingxia realise why Pei Yuan was so wary earlier.

They all knew how powerful mysterious items were, and Ji Mingxia could easily swallow a mysterious item.

Even Ji Mingxia felt incredulous at this moment.

There were dozens of mysterious items in Yu Ning’s body, and if he wanted, he could get them all out in one go.

However, he restrained himself and cautiously drew them out  one by one, carefully observing Yu Ning’s state as he did so.

When Ji Mingxia had drawn out half of the mysterious items, a troubled look appeared on Yu Ning’s face, as if he had fallen into a nightmare.

This might seem like a bad sign, but it was actually the opposite.

A person whose physical energy was depleted would not have the energy to dream, so the fact that Yu Ning was dreaming meant that his state was recovering.

Seeing that Yu Ning was about to wake up, Ji Mingxia immediately withdrew his hand and sat beside Yu Ning like he had done before.

He had just sat down when Yu Ning suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from his nightmare drenched in sweat.

“Mingxia!” Yu Ning abruptly sat up and only relaxed when he saw Ji Mingxia beside him.

Ji Mingxia pretended to open his eyes in a daze and said to Yu Ning, “Yu Ning, you’re awake, how do you feel?”

Yu Ning felt that the pain in his body had lessened and he looked around in some suspicion before his eyes finally fell on Ji Mingxia’s body.

Seeing that Ji Mingxia was no different from the usual, Yu Ning whispered, “Did someone come by earlier?”

“No.” Ji Mingxia shook his head.

With no abnormalities around and Ji Mingxia safe, Yu Ning suppressed the suspicion in his heart and lowered his head to look at the time.

There was no signal on the phone but the clock would still work.

It was already seven o’clock in the evening, and although it was not yet dark, there were many trees in the dense forest, and once the sun went down, it would be no different from nightfall.

Yu Ning had bought a sufficient amount of food before entering the mountains but he had not yet eaten it.

Earlier, he was being tortured by the mysterious items inside his body and was unable to even open his eyes, but now that the pressure had been relieved, he was awake.

He was injured, but Ji Mingxia was not. There was no internet in the middle of the forest and he kept falling asleep, so Ji Mingxia was alone and must have been bored.

This was the same as that time they were trapped in the forest, but this time, he was the one who dragged Ji Mingxia out of society and made him remain in hiding.

In other words, Ji Mingxia was good-tempered and did not complain the whole time, following him to live like a savage in the mountains without hesitation.

Seeing Ji Mingxia sitting quietly to the side, Yu Ning said, “It’s too boring in the mountains but there’s an ancient town nearby, we’ll go down for a walk later.”

Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning with some surprise, “Are we getting out of here?”

Yu Ning looked down at his mutated body, “I might scare people with this appearance, you can buy a mask and gloves for me when the time comes.”

Ji Mingxia hugged Yu Ning all of a sudden, “I don’t want to go down, let’s just rest in the mountains, we’ll leave when you’ve recovered.”

He knew that Yu Ning had decided to go down with him because he was worried that he was bored.

However, there were many people down the mountain who did not know that he was the root cause of the chaos and were all searching for traces of Yu Ning.

So staying in the dense forest was the best option at the moment.

Yu Ning also didn’t insist when he saw that Ji Mingxia didn’t want to go down the mountain.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed, and Yu Ning’s condition kept getting better.

When there were less than ten mysterious items in his body, Yu Ning reverted to his previous appearance.

The bursting eyeballs, the layers of cracked skin, and the mutated and frightening appearance disappeared as the mysterious items left Yu Ning one by one.

Of course Yu Ning had many doubts this period, but Ji Mingxia did not look any different from his usual self and Yu Ning could not ask many questions, deeply afraid of arousing Ji Mingxia’s curiosity and instead having the truth discovered.

Three days later, Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia had finished all their food and were left with a few supplies, so Yu Ning decided to make a trip down the mountain to replenish them.

“I’m so sleepy, I don’t want to go. Yu Ning, you go and buy them, I’ll sleep a little longer.” Ji Mingxia quickly acted coquettish on seeing Yu Ning preparing to go down the mountain.

It was early morning, and Ji Mingxia had absorbed dozens of mysterious items in the past three days. Not only did his body not suffer in any way but it had even gotten much better.

He had absorbed the energy from the mysterious items which instantly improved his physique. At this moment, he had just woken up from his sleep, his skin was fair and smooth, his cheeks were flushed with pink. He hugged Yu Ning coquettishly and Yu Ning who wanted to refuse found himself unable to even speak.

Seeing that Yu Ning was still hesitating, Ji Mingxia got up and kissed him, “Remember to bring me an extra sandwich.”

Yu Ning looked at Ji Mingxia helplessly.

When Ji Mingxia saw that he still did not agree, he went up and kissed him several more times, stopping only when both of them had lost their breath.

Yu Ning saw that Ji Mingxia was in good spirits, and his complexion was even better.

There were no people for several kilometres, so it was very safe.

At school, he and Ji Mingxia were in different majors, and it was not as if they had never been separated.

Thinking of this, Yu Ning could only say, “Then you should rest well and wait for me to return.”

“Okay.” Ji Mingxia smiled good-naturedly.

Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning’s back as he turned to leave. He held back for a long time but finally couldn’t help but call out to him, “Yu Ning!”

Yu Ning turned and looked back at him.

Ji Mingxia felt a thousand thoughts coming up, he couldn’t help but have a sour nose and his eyes immediately turned red.

But he naturally could not show his emotions to Yu Ning. He suppressed the sadness and said in a brisk tone, “This mountain is so big, will you be able to find me?”

“I will.” Yu Ning said, “Go back to sleep, you will be able to see me when you wake up.”

“Okay.” Ji Mingxia smiled.

He waved to Yu Ning and watched his figure gradually disappear.

Ji Mingxia had kissed Yu Ning more than a dozen times and his ears were all red. It was only after a long walk that his heartbeat gradually returned to normal. He thought of Ji Mingxia’s flushed cheeks and coquetry and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.

But as time went on, his steps unconsciously slowed down.

“Wait.” Yu Ning’s expression changed slightly.

Ji Mingxia was not right today, he was hiding something from him!

He had been injured so his mind was a little slower than usual, and he had been overwhelmed by Ji Mingxia’s enthusiasm. It was only at this moment that he suddenly reacted.

Yu Ning quickly turned around and walked back up the mountain.

However, even after walking dozens of meters, he would suddenly find himself back at square one.

He was under the power of a mysterious item and he hadn’t even noticed it!

Yu Ning was startled and he drove the blood-red ring towards the front. The blood red ring turned into a sharp blade and immediately slashed at the void.

In the next instant, a translucent ribbon emerged from the void ten meters in front of Yu Ning.

The sharpest part of the blood-red ring slashed at the ribbon, but to his surprise, the ribbon was not affected at all!

This ribbon was just an ordinary level mysterious item, and with his strength, it could have been easily broken, but at this moment, it was not affected in the slightest.

This could only mean that the person controlling the ribbon was far more powerful than him!

Even the top of the line, Pei Yuan, did not have this strength. Who had trapped him with the mysterious item?

Yu Ning’s face was grim as he stared at the ribbon, countless names flashing through his mind.

In the next instant, three more mysterious items rushed over, and in less than ten minutes, Yu Ning quietly fell down, unconscious.

In the dense forest, Ji Mingxia manipulated the mysterious items and placed Yu Ning in a safe area. No one could get close to Yu Ning, and Yu Ning could not get close to anyone else either, this way, Yu Ning’s safety was guaranteed.

Before this, Ji Mingxia had always thought that he was an ordinary person and had never tried to touch mysterious items, let alone manipulate them.

It was only after Pei Yuan told him the truth that Ji Mingxia sucked out dozens of mysterious items from Yu Ning’s body.

He had tried manipulating them during that time and for the current Ji Mingxia, manipulating these mysterious items was like an adult using a child’s toy car, he didn’t even need to learn how to do so.

“I never thought I would have this kind of strength.” Ji Mingxia looked at his hands and laughed to himself.

He had always thought of himself as weak, and it was only now that he discovered that he was extraordinary.  His body also awakened, stepping into the ranks of the world’s best in one fell swoop.

The fearsome mystery items were now like toys to him.

If he had known that he was so strong, he would not have let Yu Ning put himself in danger.

At this moment, Ji Mingxia’s mobile phone rang.

Originally, there was no signal on this mountain, but Pei Yuan had quickly mobilized resources over the past three days so that the signal was covered. Once Yu Ning walked down the mountain, the signal was switched on so that he could contact Ji Mingxia at any time.

Ji Mingxia connected the call and Pei Yuan’s voice came over immediately, “Mingxia, this mountain range has been blocked off, only you and Yu Ning are left on the mountain. Would you like us to take him away?”

“No need.” Ji Mingxia said, “If I survive, I will go down with him, if I fail, I will erase his memory and leave a mysterious item to protect him.”

Leaving mysterious items for people to pass on was something that the ancestor of the Pei family had also done, so although he was dead, the bloodline continued and the Pei family was able to remain standing with the mysterious items that were passed on.

Ji Mingxia was left with only one relative, Grandma Ji. However, she was an ordinary person and naturally, would not be involved in such matters.

In this world, only Yu Ning needed his protection.

The Ding couple did not love him and the Institute did not harbor good intentions. Since he now had the power, Ji Mingxia wanted to do something for Yu Ning.

After confirming that Yu Ning would not be affected in any way, Ji Mingxia stood in the middle of the dense forest and slowly closed his eyes.

It was as if the curtain had been pulled down and the world was plunged into darkness.

In the darkness were countless points of light that kept gathering towards Ji Mingxia.

Ji Mingxia could control all the points of light at will.

The first ones to fly out were the mysterious items carried by the special people blocking the mountain range and guarding the outside world at the moment.

Ji Mingxia did not rush to absorb these mysterious items but let them continue to stay on those people so that they could have the combat effectiveness to solve any unexpected accidents.

Next were the mysterious items that came pouring in from the nearby areas, such as Funan County and the ancient town.

Most of these mysterious items had no owner and were dormant so Ji Mingxia easily incorporated them into his body.

Beyond Funan County was the urban area where Quanzhuang Hotel was located, then other provinces. Ji Mingxia’s vision gradually covered the whole country and then spread out towards the whole world.

Points of light converged around Ji Mingxia, almost lighting up the dark world in Ji Mingxia’s eyes because of their overwhelming numbers.

Thousands of points of light continued to pour into Ji Mingxia’s body. At first, Ji Mingxia could count how many mysterious items he had absorbed, but when the number passed 100,000, Ji Mingxia didn’t have the time to count.

After absorbing to a certain extent, Ji Mingxia gradually found that he was no longer indifferent.

The light spots kept pouring in and his body took in vast amounts of mysterious items in a short period of time, slowly creating a feeling of being fuller and gradually getting fuller.

This feeling of satiety was not only in his stomach, but also his entire body, it was unpleasant and it made him feel like he was unable to absorb any more.

The pain caused him to clench his fist, but his hands, which had always been flexible, were now a little sluggish, as if his whole body was swollen and he couldn’t even wriggle his fingers.

At this moment, Ji Mingxia finally understood why Pei Yuan’s ancestor had died tragically after absorbing so many mysterious items in his body.

It was because after reaching this point, Ji Mingxia found that he could no longer stop.

All the points of light in the world were coming towards him, rushing into his body in torrents. The more powerful Ji Mingxia’s body became, the more greedy those mysterious items became, wanting to take this power from Ji Mingxia even more.

Countless mysterious items surrounded Ji Mingxia. Not only was Ji Mingxia surrounded by mysterious items, the whole mountain range was also surrounded.

Countless mysterious items were gathered with Ji Mingxia as the centre, they were like large dark clouds that covered the sky and gathered over the mountain range.

Although Ji Mingxia was much stronger than the mysterious items, he could not withstand the siege of so many at once.

Once he started, there was no way out and he could only do his best to collect all the mysterious items in order to survive.

As the massive amount of energy accumulated in his body, Ji Mingxia only felt like a balloon that was continuously inflating and as time passed a little, the balloon became bigger and bigger, and the surface became thinner and thinner.

When it reached a certain critical point, cracks started appearing on his body.

The cracks did not start from the skin, but from the bones in his body.

When the first bone cracked, Ji Mingxia could not hold back and screamed out in pain.

Unlike Pei Yuan’s ancestor, Ji Mingxia had always thought he was an ordinary person, he had never taken in mysterious items, nor had he undergone special physical training.

By the time Pei Yuan discovered that Ji Mingxia was abnormal, it was already too late to make preparations, and it could be said that he had gone into battle against the mysterious items of the world unprepared.

The first thing to crack were the bones in Ji Mingxia’s hands, followed by those in his feet and legs.

The fracturing of his limbs had already caused Ji Mingxia excruciating pain, yet to his surprise, the pain of the fracturing of his torso bones was a hundred times greater than what he felt before.

Ji Mingxia’s entire body became hideously twisted because of the pain, and a guttural scream unconsciously came out from his throat, yet even so, thousands of mysterious items still poured into his body.

The cracks worked their way up his spine, and when they finally reached his skull, he started to hear a peeling sound. After all the bones cracked, his flesh started getting cracked, leaving no part of his skin intact.

Ji Mingxia looked at his hands and feet and felt that the situation looked very familiar.

Wasn’t his condition the same as when Yu Ning was mutating a few days ago?

Ji Mingxia had a splitting headache, and he was groggy. Under such extreme pain, he was already wishing for death, not wanting to endure such torture any longer.

But when he realized that he was experiencing what Yu Ning had experienced a few days before, Ji Mingxia was stunned, and he got a wave of unspeakable heartache.

It turned out that Yu Ning was enduring such pain…

Tears welled up in his eyes, and without waiting for them to flow out, Ji Mingxia’s eyeball cracked slightly, and a drop of blood fell to the ground.

With a cracked eye, Ji Mingxia’s vision was affected and it felt like the whole world had become dark. Ji Mingxia simply closed his eyes again, then raised his hand with difficulty and gently wiped the tears and blood from the corner of his eyes.

Although Yu Ning had a special physique, he was not a successful experiment; his body could briefly hold a few mysterious items, and once the number exceeded ten, it would cause him immense pain.

Yu Ning knew this, but in order to protect him, he still took in those dozens of mysterious items without hesitation and endured such terrible torture day in and day out, never even breathing a word of it.

This was the pain that Yu Ning had endured for him.

If Yu Ning could do, so could he.

To protect Yu Ning, to make this world a little bit normal ……

Ji Mingxia clenched his teeth and forced himself to stay awake.

There was no turning back for him, so he must give it his all!

Ji Mingxia kept absorbing the countless spots of light and time seemed to stand still.

He didn’t know how long had passed, but his appearance at the moment was more terrifying than Yu Ning’s a few days ago. Not only was the skin all over his body cracked, dense sarcoids had even grown out of that cracked flesh.

At first glance, he didn’t even look like a human being, but rather like a horrible and hideous monster.

At this point, Ji Mingxia couldn’t even utter a scream.

His entire body was floating helplessly, and apart from his chest rising and falling, he looked no different from a corpse.

The spots of light that filled the sky gradually became less after two days of absorption and were even gradually emptied.

The mysterious items disappeared and the whole mountain range became clear.

As night fell, the sky was filled with stars hanging in the sky, and no more points of light poured into Ji Mingxia’s body.

It was all over, he had actually collected all the mysterious items, all of them ……

Having been an ordinary person all his life, Ji Mingxia did not even think that he could accomplish such a feat.

He also had Pei Yuan’s ancestor to thank for, he cleared a lot of obstacles which made it possible for him to succeed today.

He also admired himself for actually persevering to the end.

Ji Mingxia wanted to laugh out loud, but unfortunately, he could not even pull out a smile at the moment.

Feeling his life draining away little by little, Ji Mingxia turned his eyes with difficulty and looked to his left.

The entire mountain range was cleared of mysterious items, except for one place.

Although Ji Mingxia’s body could not move, his consciousness was like substance, and when his gaze fell on Yu Ning, Yu Ning, along with the mysterious items, instantly moved to Ji Mingxia’s side in the next second.

The ribbon, rings and other items turned into points of light that finally surged into Ji Mingxia’s skin.

Ji Mingxia’s intermittent breathing became even weaker after taking in these last few mysterious items.

He lifted his hand with all his might and gently picked up the bronze mirror at Yu Ning’s waist.

This was the bronze mirror that he and Yu Ning had obtained at Quanzhuang Hotel.

It had the function of creating illusions and modifying memories.

The moment Ji Mingxia touched the bronze mirror, he instantly knew how to use it.
