Lin Nai smiled with satisfaction: "Wan'er."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wan'er, who was on the bed next to her, took out a dark red crystal and said softly, "This is a Dark Blood Stone. Let your sister use this stone to cultivate. The method of use is the same as that of a Soul Crystal. It can help you transform the harmful demonic energy pollutants remaining in your body into beneficial substances, and eventually into soul power that is suitable for you."
The white beast took the Dark Blood Stone, looked at them hesitantly, and said, "You just gave this to me so easily?"
He had originally thought that Linnaeus would at least make him sign some kind of pledge of allegiance, or bind him to some kind of master-servant contract.
Linnaeus said, "Your body must have a genetic lock left by a genetic company, just like a monkey's, right? I can unlock that thing for you, and I can also lock it back up at any time."
The white beast was slightly taken aback, its eyes showing a hint of disbelief.
The monkey beside him immediately nodded repeatedly and gave him several winks, meaning: 'What he said is true!'
The white beast remained silent for a moment before accepting the Dark Blood Stone: "...Thank you."
Linna said, "Go back and save your sister first, I'll contact you later."
"Okay." The white beast turned and left decisively. In fact, he was indeed eager to rush home to get the Dark Bloodstone and try it out.
The monkey yawned, looked at Lin Nai, and asked, "Shall I leave too?"
“Hmm,” Linna said, “But don’t go back to the gene company. Your performance at the competition was almost like that of ‘actors.’ You’ll definitely get a beating from the company when you get back.”
"Uh..." The monkey stroked its chin: "Don't you need us to be your undercover agents?"
Lin Nai: "...Which of you two do you think has a personality more suitable for being an undercover agent?"
monkey:"......"
"That seems to be true..."
......
Three days later, Linna and Yewan were both discharged from the hospital.
In fact, Lin Nai stayed in the hospital for observation for the past three days. She was perfectly healthy, ate and drank well, and slept very well.
After all, he was an apostle, and the higher-ups took him very seriously. Although Lin Nai had not shown any signs of being corrupted by the other-dimensional aura, the higher-ups were still not entirely at ease, so they arranged for him to stay in the hospital for observation for a few more days.
Only after confirming that Lin Nai was alright did they feel relieved enough to let them go home.
"Here." Lin Nai held one cup of milk tea in one hand and handed the other cup of milk tea to Ye Wan'er.
"Huh?" The girl was still a little stunned. She raised her head slightly and saw Lin Nai's handsome face.
“Here you go, I just bought it over there.” Lin Nai pointed with her chin to the milk tea shop not far away: “I remember you like to drink this.”
"Thank you...thank you..." Wan Ye'er took the milk tea with both hands. The plastic milk tea cup was cold and slightly damp in her hands.
The girl lowered her head slightly and carefully took a sip through the straw.
It's sweet and has a smooth texture.
Although I've been in the human realm for so long, human drinks still taste really good.
Not far away, at a milk tea shop, many handsome men and beautiful women walked out of the shop hand in hand, each holding a milk tea in one hand and the other hand in the other, standing very close to each other.
"Hmm..." The girl stared blankly, and subconsciously glanced at Lin Nai's hand. She stared at his hand with a dazed expression for a while, not knowing what she was thinking.
She quickly looked away, her cheeks slightly flushed, and continued to sip her milk tea in silence.
"Time flies... You've been in the human realm for half a year now, haven't you?" Lin Nai looked at the snack street in the distance. This was the first place he took Wan Ye'er out to eat, and it was there that they met Shi Hun.
That night, he even tricked me into wearing a maid outfit on the street...
Tsk tsk, I feel ashamed of myself for deceiving that naive girl back then.
"Hmm..." Ye Wan'er paused, then asked softly, "Where do we go next?"
"I don't know." Lin Nai twisted her neck and moved it a little. "I've been lying in the hospital for so many days, my neck is stiff... Do you want to go anywhere? How about we go to a buffet restaurant for a big meal first?"
In the past, the mention of going to a buffet restaurant would always make the girl's eyes light up with excitement. But this time, she said softly, "Then... how about we go home?"
"Hmm?" Lin Nai was slightly taken aback. He looked at Wan Ye'er and thought that after being cooped up in the tournament town for so long and then spending several days in the hospital after a major battle, the girl would definitely want to have a big meal: "Go home?"
"Hmm... it's just that it feels like I haven't been home in a long time." Ye'er didn't really know why she wanted to go home.
“Okay, let’s go back then.” Lin Nai stroked her chin. “I still have some ingredients in my system space… but if we go home, you’ll have to cook for me.”
Night: "Mmm."
"Okay, let's go then." Lin Nai took the milk tea and walked towards home.
Seeing this, Ye'er immediately jogged to catch up with him and walked alongside him.
The bright red moonlight fell on the street, casting long, long shadows of the two people.
Nightfall's cautious gaze once again fell upon Lin Nai's hand, which swayed slowly as she walked.
The girl didn't know what she was thinking. As if possessed, she moved closer to Lin Nai, raised her small hand, and gently took one of Lin Nai's little fingers.
Lin Nai paused, then turned around in surprise.
"You...didn't you say that it's normal for boyfriends and girlfriends to hold hands in human society...?"
This time, the girl didn't look into Lin Nai's eyes, even though she knew Lin Nai must be looking at her.
She herself didn't know what she was explaining to herself.
"Emmmm...sparrow food." Lin Nai wanted to scratch his neck with his other hand. He suddenly felt that his neck was inexplicably hot and itchy, but he was still holding a cup of milk tea in his other hand.
The two walked hand in hand all the way back to their apartment building.
No one spoke the entire way.
Lin Nai didn't know why, but although it was the same thing as holding hands, it felt completely different from the last time she tricked an innocent girl into holding her hand.
The walk home wasn't far, but Lin Nai felt incredibly tense and stiff, with fine sweat on her palms.
He could sense that the girl beside him felt the same way.
