Opening his eyes, Xia Shizhao found himself lying in a treatment pod. He pushed open the glass door in front of him, got up, and walked out.

She looked like she had just woken up, the red crystal on her neck contrasting sharply with her snow-white skin, exuding a lazy yet eye-catching charm, like a vampire awakening in an ancient castle.

Ye Qiuling sat by the window, quietly reading a book. The pages occasionally rustled as they turned. Sunlight gently fell on her hair, and everything looked exceptionally warm and peaceful. Noticing Xia Shizhao come out, she looked at her and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Xia Shizhao nodded. "Thank you."

Ye Qiuling touched her nose and closed the book. "No need. Your room is next door. Only my room has a treatment pod, so..."

"No need to explain, I know." Xia Shizhao smiled faintly.

The Milky Way outside the window was constantly changing. She was on the airship on her way home, and the carved roses by the window indicated that this was Blood Rose's exclusive airship.

"Uh... um." This was the first time Ye Qiuling had felt such a good attitude and expression from Xia Shizhao, and she was a little flattered.

Then, stammering, he said, "I'm sorry for kissing you last time... I only meant to give you your medicine..."

At this point, Xia Shizhao's gentle expression darkened instantly, and Ye Qiuling quickly explained, "You never drink, I didn't know how to give it to you... I just acted impulsively..."

"Stop, stop talking. Let's just forget about it and not mention it again." Xia Shizhao quickly interrupted her and left her room.

Ye Qiuling didn't dare to chase after her. She sat back down on the sofa, looking at the 108 ways to apologize and getting more and more annoyed.

Nothing worked; she still wouldn't look at her directly. It would be faster to just tie her to my side.

The fragrance of roses slowly filled the room. With her hands clenched tightly, Ye Qiuling was on the verge of losing control.

After a while, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed her head.

The susceptible period is becoming increasingly unstable.

She turned on her personal terminal and sent a message to Fu Ziran.

On the other side.

Xia Shizhao found Li Wu and asked, "How's the situation in Litang?"

"Still unconscious."

After speaking, Li Wu's gaze was fixed on the dazzling, silken Milky Way, showing no appreciation whatsoever, his eyes filled with sorrow.

"Shall I go take another look?"

"No need, you should rest first. Mental relaxation is not something that can be done in one day."

"OK."

Xia Shizhao stopped bothering Li Wu and turned to go to the training room to find Liu Ruxuan.

Liu Ruxuan was fighting against the robot. Her forearm was red and swollen, and she was covered in sweat, as if she was venting her anger.

They dismantled one robot after another.

Gu Ke and Chi Xin, who were sitting to the side with worried expressions, saw Xia Shizhao as if she had seen a savior and ran towards her, saying, "Please persuade Ruxuan."

"She hasn't stopped for the past two hours! Chi Xin is almost driven to despair by the beating."

As she spoke, Chi Xin, with tears in her eyes, rolled up her sleeve, revealing bruises all over her arm. "She's such a jerk, she almost knocked me unconscious."

Xia Shizhao glanced at Chi Xin with pity, then walked to the training platform and tapped on the protective shield.

Hearing the sound, Liu Ruxuan turned her head and looked over. Xia Shizhao waved with a smile.

He picked up a towel from the side and handed it to Liu Ruxuan, who was walking over.

Liu Ruxuan silently took the towel and wiped the sweat from her face and neck; her training clothes were soaked and stuck to her body.

Without saying anything, Xia Shizhao led her downstairs, saying, "Let's go wash up and rest for a bit."

"Hmm." Liu Ruxuan nodded listlessly and went back to her room to take a shower.

Gu Ke gave a thumbs up, "You're the most effective one. We were just thinking that we could only pull her down if she exhausted herself up there."

Xia Shizhao smiled and said, "You two should go and rest too. You've worked hard."

"Hmm, you should try to persuade Ru."

A hint of worry appeared on Chi Xin's face.

Yes, it will.

When Xia Shizhao arrived at Liu Ruxuan's room, he sat on the sofa and waited quietly for her to come out, his eyes closed as if he was thinking about something.

Liu Ruxuan wiped her hair, picked up a can of cola, took a sip, sat down next to Xia Shizhao, and lay down with her eyes closed.

After a long silence, she asked, "Is all your hard work useless?"

Xia Shizhao chuckled, "How could that be? You've already surpassed many people."

"But... what if someone's mental strength is stronger than mine..."

"Your opponent is not one of your own kind, but the Zerg."

Xia Shizhao said leisurely.

"But... I'm so unwilling to accept this..."

Xia Shizhao was silent for a while, then opened his eyes, sat up straight and looked at her, "I have a way, but it will be very painful, and I don't know how many times it will take. Do you want to try it?"

"Yes," Liu Ruxuan agreed without hesitation.

Looking at her resolute face, Xia Shizhao sighed, realizing that they had still come to this point.

Ye Qiuling, who had returned to Xinglian, did not leave her room for three days.

During this time, Xia Shizhao knocked on the door to ask what was wrong, but she said she was fine, so he didn't bother with her anymore.

With his financial power, he collected several hundred materials that stimulated mental strength.

Because it was adjusted based on research conducted by others.

In just three days, Xia Shizhao analyzed many possibilities in his mind.

The airship successfully arrived at the planet. While Liu Ruxuan and Chi Xin took over the planet, she worked day and night to research the potion.
