Ning Jue: "Be good, tell me, I won't tell anyone else."

Lian Han rolled her eyes and pointed firmly to the door.

"..." Ning Jue frowned. Even though she wouldn't tell him, he was determined to find out. Just who could be so important to her?

"Tell me his name." This time, Ning Jue increased the output of his mental power when using the Word of Power.

"Mmm mmm mmm."

Lian Han: ...Thank goodness she covered her mouth tightly enough.

What kind of answer is that? Ning Jue's lips twitched. "Let go of my hand."

Even though it was also a word-based magic, Lian Han was forced to put down his hand despite his reluctance, but he still kept his lips tightly pursed and refused to compromise.

"Who exactly is he?" Ning Jue leaned closer to Lian Han.

His mouth wanted to open uncontrollably, and Lian Han cursed Ning Jue under his breath before biting down hard.

Her mouth immediately filled with liquid. Although she felt no pain, even Han knew that she wouldn't be able to speak for the next ten days or half a month.

Ning Jue frowned. "Who is he? What is your relationship?" This time, the girl's mouth was finally pried open, and then he saw blood gushing out.

Ning Jue: ...

"Is your tongue broken?" He quickly pulled Lian Han over to check, feeling a pang of heartache and self-reproach. "If you really couldn't have said it, then don't. Did you really have to do this to yourself..."

Lian Han slapped his hand away, pointed to the door, and exclaimed, "Ah!"

Although she couldn't hear clearly, Ning Jue could already guess that she said "get lost".

"I'm sorry, it's my fault, it's my fault. Let's check the wound first. I'm worried about how serious it is." Ning Jue said, grabbing Lian Han's hands with one hand and pinching Lian Han's face with the other to examine it.

Lian Han was ruthless enough to himself; even though he hadn't managed to bite his tongue off at the root, it was almost severed in the middle, and Ning Jue felt pain just looking at it. "You little brat, don't you feel pain—"

Suddenly realizing that Lian Han's pain hadn't returned, Ning Jue paused, "I'm sorry. But don't be so hard on yourself in the future. Even if you don't feel the pain, you're still the one who suffers from the injury. How are you going to talk to me these next few days?"

If he hadn't insisted on asking, would things have turned out this way? Lian Han turned her face away, not wanting to talk to him.

Ning Jue rubbed his forehead. "Should I apply the medicine or use the card?"

Lian Han ignored him.

Ning Jue sighed helplessly. Seeing that she had stopped struggling, he took out a special ointment from his smart device. "Then apply the ointment. Be careful what you eat these next two days."

The man bent down and cradled the girl's head, ostensibly to apply ointment. But the man was handsome and the woman beautiful, and to others, it looked undeniably intimate, like the person who crawled out of the medical pod.

Xing Yucheng: ?!

The sound of the medical pod opening drew the attention of Lian Han and Xing Yucheng. Seeing the two of them staring at him in unison, Xing Yucheng coughed and retreated back into the medical pod. "Well, I'm still feeling a bit unwell. I'll sleep a little longer. You guys continue. I didn't see anything."

Lian Han: ...

The girl's already unattractive face turned completely black. She waved her hand and threw the little scorpion towards Xing Yucheng's position. Fortunately, the latter dodged quickly and lay down in the medical pod in time, so the little scorpion only hit the glass.

When Xing Yucheng came out of the medical pod, he estimated the time. Ning Jue had already left, leaving only Lian Han sitting by the bed. The air pressure around them was frighteningly low.

"They're gone?"

Lian Han nodded.

"Tell me, how far have you progressed in your business?"

Lian Han's face darkened. He quickly found the handwriting interface on his smart device and typed a line: "You're overthinking it. There's no future in this!!!"

"How can you write? What happened to your mouth?" Xing Yucheng looked at Lian Han and quickly noticed that there was blood at the corner of her mouth.

Lian Han wrote: "I bit my tongue."

"When kissing?"

Lian Han: "...I bit myself. It's all because of you!"

Lian Han quickly wrote down what had happened for him, and Xing Yucheng sighed and rubbed his forehead, "This kid's senses are getting sharper and sharper. Let me see your tongue."

Lian Han obediently opened his mouth so he could examine him. "You're really tough on yourself. You're using healing cards to treat yourself, but don't speak for the next few days. As for food, just give me nutritional supplements for now."

Lian Han nodded; of course she knew.

Ning Jue had indeed come with a mission, so even though he was worried about Lian Han, he could only say goodbye in the end, then give Gu Dan a subtle warning before hurriedly disembarking from the starship.

...

No one expected this hastily decided trip to last so long; Lian Han's departure lasted for six years.

Six years—even Xing Yucheng himself couldn't have imagined that his almost exhausted body would miraculously last for six years.

Until Lian Han received Qian Ya's message—"Want to see your mother? Come to the Ice Clan, I invite you."

An address was then attached.

Lian Han handed the message to Xing Yucheng, seeking his opinion. The latter first raised an eyebrow, then smiled and said, "Go ahead. Why not? I can't speak for other places, but we can definitely roam freely among the Ice Clan. It's a good opportunity to see your mother whom you've never met."

"You think you can walk sideways?" Lian Han looked at him suspiciously.

Xing Yucheng smiled and, after seeing that she had agreed to the message, asked, "How's the research on the Zerg bio-mechs going?"

Speaking of this, Lian Han's lips curled up, "There hasn't been much progress in other areas, but we've made some progress in researching the linkage teleportation. I'll show you when we have a finished product."

This was something Lian Han started researching after consulting with Old Man Xing during the past six years when he was bored. Although Yi Jun's accident might be related to this mecha, Old Man Xing said that with the system in place, no one could control her, so Lian Han was relieved.

"Okay. I'll wait then."

After finishing his sentence, Old Xing asked, "If your family decides to go to the Ice Clan, you should tell them in advance. There's no Skynet signal there, so we can't contact them."
