Chapter 539 Just Want to Draw Some Blood
Ye Wanxi didn't pay much attention at first, but later, feeling uneasy under his gaze, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong between us?"
"no problem."
"Since there's no problem, why are you staring at us like that? Is there something you need our help with?"
Having his little thoughts so bluntly revealed by Ye Wanxi, even Academician Liu, who prided himself on his thick skin, felt quite embarrassed.
Despite his embarrassment, he honestly shared his thoughts: "Why were you two so sure you wouldn't get infected? Is it related to your physical condition?"
Ye Wanxi wasn't surprised to hear him say that. Before coming here, Xiao Baihui should have mentioned her and Feng Tianyu's identities to him.
"Yes, we both have special constitutions and won't get infected."
Upon receiving this confirmation, Academician Liu's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together, saying, "Does that mean you have special...antibodies?"
"Um?"
Before Ye Wanxi could react to the meaning of his words, she heard a cold laugh from beside her: "Heh."
Ye Wanxi was stunned for a moment, sensing that something was wrong. Just as she was about to say something, a familiar figure slowly walked over from a distance, stopping her in her tracks.
"Vice Minister Xiao?"
The person who arrived was Xiao Jihui, who had rushed over to replace Xiao Baihui, who was unable to leave.
"Miss Ye, Mr. Feng, Grandpa Liu."
"Why is Vice Minister Xiao here at this time?"
“My father originally planned to come in person, but new cases have been appearing in various places these past two days, and he really couldn’t get away. He was also worried about the situation here, so he asked me to come and see for him.”
Xiao Jihui glanced at the group as if sensing something was amiss: "Were you all discussing something important just now? Did I disturb you?"
"No, it's just that Academician Liu..."
Xiao Jihui turned to look at Academician Liu questioningly. Academician Liu's eyes flickered slightly, and he frankly said, "I just want to ask Miss Ye and the other person for help to draw a vial of blood."
"A blood test?" Xiao Jihui suddenly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, the next second, Academician Liu said with considerable excitement, "Their physical condition is special; they seem to have antibodies against this virus from birth and won't be infected, so I think... um..."
Xiao Jihui felt increasingly uneasy as he listened, and dared not let him continue. He quickly stepped forward and covered Academician Liu's mouth, then gave Ye Wanxi and the other person an awkward and impolite smile: "Academician Liu was just joking, please don't take it to heart. I have some things to discuss with Academician Liu, so I won't disturb you any longer."
Without waiting for Ye Wanxi and the other person's reaction, he grabbed the struggling Academician Liu and fled with difficulty.
After walking about several dozen meters and confirming that the two were not following, Xiao Jihui breathed a sigh of relief and released Academician Liu.
"Xiao Hui, what are you doing? Why did you cover my mouth? Just now..."
"If I hadn't reacted quickly, Grandpa Liu, who knows what would have happened to you right now? I was saving you!"
"Help me?"
Xiao Jihui thought to himself, "Wasn't I saving you? If I had acted any later, some powerful weapon could have killed them all with just a glance!"
"Grandpa Liu, it's true that Miss Ye and Mr. Feng have special physical conditions, but you can't just casually say you want to draw their blood."
Academician Liu frowned, but still didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did: "What's so hard about saying this? It's just drawing a little blood from them, it's not like I'm going to kill them."
Xiao Jihui twitched his lips: "You don't actually want them dead, but the tone you just used made it sound like you were a perverted scientist who wanted to capture them for human experimentation."
Academician Liu was taken aback for a moment, then said righteously, "Nonsense, I didn't think that!"
“You may not think that way, but your tone makes it hard not to misunderstand. Besides, for people like them who live outside the secular world, things like blood are extremely private and taboo possessions that they cannot easily give to others. You should give up this idea.”
Having worked in the special department for several months, Xiao Jihui witnessed many things that reshaped his worldview. He naturally knew that people like them could have their blood, hair, or even nails used as a medium for others to harm them.
Given how much someone cares about Miss Ye, to openly say in front of him that he wants to draw Miss Ye's blood for experiments is practically courting death, isn't it?
Xiao Jihui recalled the cold look in someone's eyes before he dragged the person away, and couldn't help but shiver.
On the other side, Ye Wanxi, who watched helplessly as Xiao Jihui dragged the person away, was stunned for a while before she realized what had happened.
"They...we..."
Feng Tianyu's face darkened: "He wants to draw our blood for experiments."
Ye Wanxi roughly understood Feng Tianyu's meaning, but she wasn't very angry because she knew that Academician Liu didn't have any bad intentions. He simply wanted to try to find a shortcut to prevent and control the virus by using them as a breakthrough.
Unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed.
The reason they weren't infected was because their divine souls, combined with her previous tribulation and the soul fusion with the Sealed Heaven Domain, made their physical constitutions stronger than ordinary people's. The virus simply couldn't invade them, and naturally, it couldn't parasitize them and have any effect.
However, it is virtually impossible to replicate their situation in others.
Even if Academician Liu actually drew their blood for research, he would only find that their blood activity was hundreds or thousands of times that of ordinary people.
If such blood cells were to be introduced into the blood of an ordinary person, it would only cause the person to explode on the spot.
Seemingly sensing Feng Tianyu's concern, Ye Wanxi smiled and took his hand, saying, "Alright, don't be angry. He didn't mean it. As a doctor, it's understandable that he would have such thoughts. It's just a pity that our situation cannot be replicated. To develop a vaccine or even a treatment, we need to treat the symptoms and develop some viral antibodies first. We don't even have the virus in our bodies, so naturally we won't have these things."
"But we know about this, while he doesn't, so we can't blame him."
Ye Wanxi thought for a moment: "How about we cooperate with him? Let him see the truth and give up on this idea?"
Ye Wanxi could understand Academician Liu's anxiety, and it was precisely because she understood that she softened her heart.
For people like them, who are used to seeing life and death, yet cannot be indifferent to it, they will not give up easily as long as there is even the slightest hope of saving the patient.
Ye Wanxi admires such people and is willing to respect and cooperate with their work.
After hearing Ye Wanxi's words, Feng Tianyu's expression softened slightly, but he remained unusually insistent on one point: "Fine, no need for you, I'll do it."
