Chapter 125: Rock Safety Zone (Thirteen)
Cold sweat slid down Xie Mian's forehead, and he kept mumbling in his sleep.
E Shifang stood by, staring at Xie Mian's face, placing his wings on his hands, and continuously injecting insect energy into his body.
At this moment, he hated himself so much for drinking so much alcohol in order to transform, otherwise, all this might not have happened.
"Cui, Zhi, Xing..."
E Shifang gritted his teeth and rolled out these three words from between his teeth.
Xie Mian felt like he had been dreaming for a long time, wandering through a gray fog. When he woke up, it felt like a piece of his brain had been cut off, and he couldn't remember anything.
"Woo woo, wife, you finally woke up."
E Shifang buried his head in Xie Mian's chest, feeling extremely heartbroken.
"I'm fine."
Xie Mian sat up from the sofa, and the blanket covering him slipped off. He tried to recall his dream, but he couldn't remember anything.
"Shifang, did I forget something very important?"
The falling blanket covered E Shifang's head. E Shifang, who was "struggling" with the blanket, was silent for two seconds after hearing the words before he stuck his head out again.
"Mianmian, if you can forget some things, it means they are not important." A pair of big eyes, full of seriousness.
The other party was rarely so serious. Looking at his serious expression, Xie Mian became even more confused.
"Is it really not important?" Xie Mian murmured to himself. He always felt empty in his heart, as if an important piece of the puzzle was missing.
"If I'll forget it, how can it matter? Mianmian, promise me that you won't think about those dreams anymore. What's important is now, you and I together."
E Shifang took out a men's ring from the space and put it on Xie Mian's ring finger carefully.
The ring was crafted entirely from insect stone, its surface gleaming with a cool metallic sheen. Inside, the word "Shifang" (Ten Directions) was delicately engraved, with a small heart next to it.
"When did you prepare it?"
Xie Mian rubbed the silver ring on his finger, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
E Shifang proudly pulled out another identical ring from his neck and waved it in front of Xie Mian's eyes: "This is a secret. How about it? Are you touched, my wife?"
"Yeah." Xie Mian's eyes were slightly red.
"So, honey, as long as you have me in your heart, in your dreams and in your memories, let's not think about anything else."
Goose Shifang moved closer and rubbed Xiemian's cheek with his furry head, trying to divert his attention.
"In that case, do you want to accompany me?" Xie Mian raised his head and stared at E Shifang with burning eyes.
"Ha! It's a must!" E Shifang answered without hesitation, in a firm tone.
"Okay, then tell me, why is there no insect stone in your chest? What is constantly devouring your insect energy?"
Xie Mian's tone suddenly became serious, his eyes as sharp as a knife, staring straight at E Shifang.
E Shifang's body stiffened, his originally relaxed expression froze instantly, and a hint of panic flashed in his big eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
"Gah, my insect stone is broken."
"The worm stone is broken?"
Xie Mian was shocked, and a chill instantly surged into his heart.
The insect stone is the source of power for the insect followers. Once it is broken, they will die immediately.
He grabbed E Shifang's shoulders and asked anxiously, "If the insect stone breaks, you will die. Shifang, you...?"
E Shifang felt warm in his heart when he saw Xie Mian's nervous expression.
He pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I don't know either. After the worm stone shattered, I was still alive, but I turned into a big goose."
"Then what in your body is constantly devouring your insect energy?"
"Gah! Honey, I don't know what that is either. But it shouldn't be a bad thing. Maybe it's because of this thing that I'm still alive."
lie.
Shifang is lying.
He must know what a "wormhole" is and why the worms in his body can be continuously devoured.
"Shifang, since you said you want to be with me forever, let's go find the insect stone together, find something that can heal you."
"good."
Xie Mian and E Shifang came to the black market again.
Mrs. Scorpion was sitting in a leather chair in her office, smoking lazily. Seeing Xie Mian and E Shifang approaching, her charming eyes shone with surprise. "I've already prepared everything, but I don't know when Mr. Xie will be free."
As he spoke, he took out an exquisite wooden box from a drawer behind him.
"This is the latest body-repair potion developed by the research institute. It's fair to everyone, and comes in 20 bottles. This box of potion cost me a lot of insect stones and favors."
Xie Mian took the wooden box, opened it and saw a glowing potion inside.
"Tell me the terms."
"Great!" Madam Scorpion's smile faded, her eyes sharpening. "I want you to join me in killing the current ruler of the black market—Fili!"
Xie Mian pondered for a moment. Philip was an S-rank insect-follower, and his strength should not be underestimated. But for Goose Shifang, he had to take the risk.
"make a deal."
A hint of surprise flashed across Madam Scorpion's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "Very good, I knew Mr. Xie was a straightforward person. That fellow Philip is planning a large underground auction. That's the perfect time for us to take action."
"When is the auction?" asked E Shifang.
"In three days," Lady Scorpion replied, "I will tell you the details and Fili's weaknesses. However, you must also be careful. Fili has many experts under his command, and he is cunning and never shows up easily."
Xie Mian nodded to show that he understood.
After leaving Mrs. Scorpion's place, Xie Mian and E Shifang returned to the villa.
The bottles of medicine were printed with the logo of the research institute. He couldn't let Shifang use these medicines directly, so he had to find someone to try them first.
Over the next three days, Xie Mian and E Shifang began preparing for the action.
Xie Mian carefully studied the information on Fili provided by Madam Scorpion, including his insect form, combat habits, and possible hiding places. Goose Shifang was responsible for collecting the latest intelligence from the black market to ensure that nothing was lost.
Three days later, the auction began.
Xie Mian and the other two entered the auction with the invitation letter provided by Mrs. Scorpion.
