For the past two weeks, Qin Su's strength has not been able to recover.
Xie Erxun cut his wrists every day to draw blood, always feeling that this method was more devout and that the blood drawn would help Qin Su recover faster.
"Xiao Xun, don't cut it, it hurts a lot."
Seeing Xie Erxun grimacing but still taking blood without hesitation, Qin Su held him down.
She hadn't seen Sher's blood-collecting process before, but now that she did, her chest suddenly felt sore and swollen.
This idiot, drawing so much blood every day, isn't he afraid of getting into trouble?
"It doesn't hurt, Master. I have a strong ability to recover on my own, and I'll be fine soon."
Xie Erxun forced a relaxed smile, wanting to continue cutting.
"If you consider me your master, then don't hurt yourself like this."
Qin Su sighed, "I'm fine. Look at me, I'm perfectly fine now. Although I don't have the strength, at least my body isn't as weak as before. At worst, I can train like everyone else and get stronger."
Although it's a pity that she lost her power, if you think about it carefully, isn't it strange that she, a human from Earth, possesses both the power of the Holy Healer and the power of the Queen?
Perhaps losing power is a good thing?
"Okay, I'll stay with you..."
Xie Erxun hurriedly pledged his loyalty, but hesitated as he spoke.
Recently, he sensed that his teacher was nearby. If he could go out and find his teacher, his master's power would be restored.
But if I leave now, won't the owner be sad?
"Speak your mind directly."
Seeing his hesitation, Qin Su raised an eyebrow.
Aside from wanting to find a teacher and eat delicious food, this guy was basically without desires and lived a very relaxed life. Now that he was in such a predicament, she became a little curious.
"Well, I want to go out again. I want to see my teacher again."
"Alright, then prepare yourself well. I can't go with you this time. Take a lot of things with you. Be careful when you're traveling alone, and don't be silly and get scammed without even realizing it."
"By the way, when are you leaving? I'll have Aunt Zhi prepare some extra food for you."
Xie Erxun's eyes grew increasingly moist, and his voice became choked with emotion.
"Master, I will definitely come back soon."
Not wanting Qin Su to think he was spineless, he wiped away his tears and went out to pack his things.
When Xie Erxun ate breakfast the next day, he was no longer there.
"This kid was afraid of the scene of saying goodbye to you, so he left quietly by himself before dawn."
Aunt Zhi shook her head and said, "But he brought enough dry food, so don't worry too much. He definitely won't starve."
You should know that she was pestered to prepare dry rations for an entire night.
Qin Su: ……
After Xie Erxun left, Qin Su continued to enter the laboratory to study the mutated insects.
Logically speaking, even if it's a mutation, not all insects would mutate at the same time. She always felt that this mutation must have been caused by some kind of factor.
Huo Sijin has been killing insects these past few days, and thanks to the power of the insecticide, the insects in Wancheng have finally been eliminated.
When the brothers returned from their mission, they were all covered in dust and dirt, and barely had the strength to speak.
After a quick meal, they all went to rest.
"Su Su, I have something to tell you."
Seeing his serious expression, Qin Su took him back to his room.
“I found this stone over in the city’s fields.”
Qin Su looked at the stone, and the power that had disappeared from her body suddenly seemed to be pulled.
"Is the mutation of the insect related to the stone?"
Huo Sijin nodded: "This stone is called an energy stone. In interstellar space, it can help people improve their strength."
Qin Su took the stone, and the feeling of the two forces within her body became even stronger.
"But on Earth, this stone can cause plants and animals to mutate?"
She tried to unleash the power within her, but without success.
"Yes, mutations can be good or bad. If the mutation is for the better, it's fine, but if it's for the worse, it will be very dangerous."
"Those people who suddenly became enraged and wanted to oppose the resort were probably also affected by the fluctuations of the energy stone."
Clearly, this stone is of no benefit to Wancheng.
"Is there any way to destroy this stone, or to make it work for the better?"
Huo Sijin shook her head: "I've tried, but this energy stone can't be destroyed, nor can it be made to develop in a positive direction."
"In order to prevent it from continuing to harm Wancheng, it must be sent away."
Since that's the case, let's just throw it away.
To avoid causing panic, the two did not tell anyone about the energy stone, but instead secretly went out at night.
Huo Sijin led Qin Su and climbed over the wall.
That's a three-meter-high wall! How did this person manage to do that?
Do you know when I first saw you?
Hearing Huo Sijin's light chuckle, Qin Su blinked and asked, puzzled.
"Wasn't it the time when Li Tang took you to the resort?"
Huo Sijin shook her head: "No, it was in America. You were being chased by a group of people, and you nimbly jumped over the wall, and then you ended up in the space."
Qin Su's eyes widened: "So you knew I had a spatial ability so early on?"
Huo Sijin raised an eyebrow: "I was just curious at the time. You're clearly a human from Earth, so how come you have a space that only interstellar people have? So later, I thought of a way to get close to you and take the opportunity to investigate you."
"Fine, so your initial intentions in approaching me weren't pure!"
Qin Su gritted her teeth and pinched Huo Sijin's waist hard.
Huo Sijin's expression twisted slightly as she hugged Qin Su.
"Looking back now, I realize my motives were definitely impure. After all, ever since I first saw you, your face has been constantly on my mind."
"Perhaps I fell in love with you at first sight?"
Qin Su rolled her eyes: "I don't believe it."
Huo Sijin smiled and said, "I can't believe it either. After all, I've lived for nearly three hundred years and have never met a woman I fell in love with at first sight."
This was the first time Huo Sijin had revealed his real age, and Qin Su's expression darkened even further.
How old are you exactly?
She's nineteen, and this man is three hundred?
Isn't this old cow eating young grass going a bit too far?
"Twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old!"
"In interstellar space, one hundred years old is equivalent to ten years old on Earth. According to this calculation, I am not even thirty yet."
Qin Su: ……
"Hehe, that's an old cow eating young grass."
Huo Sijin touched her nose: "Perhaps, age is not a barrier."
Qin Su: ……
As they spoke, the two arrived in Qing City.
Qing City is located by the sea, and the two planned to throw the energy stone into the ocean. Although marine life could mutate due to the energy stone, Huo Sijin had previously discovered that the marine life had already mutated, so the energy stone would have no effect on the already mutated creatures.
