Returning to the dungeon familiarly, An Ge saw Hu Jiu's anxious expression.
"You're finally back." Hu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, his heart finally at ease.
“I contact you every day, what do you have to worry about?” Ever since she got the holographic ring, Hu Jiu would chat with her for at least half an hour every day whenever they were apart, making An Ge feel like she was having a long phone conversation with her boyfriend.
"That's different." Can hearing a voice be the same as seeing the real person? But if he couldn't contact An Ge every day, he would have been restless long ago.
It was at this moment that Hu Jiu realized that An Ge's divine contract was still somewhat useful.
"You two?" The dwarf looked at the two with suspicion, something seemed off.
An Ge almost forgot that since leaving the Elf Forest, she had been dressed as a man for convenience. The sight of two grown men so reluctant to part was indeed a little strange.
"Well, things went very smoothly on my end. How's your schedule?" An Ge forcefully changed the subject.
Upon hearing this, the dwarf-hybrid's eyes crinkled with laughter. "Just look at that one."
An Ge followed the finger and saw a portly man grinning at her. His face seemed somewhat familiar, but with An Ge's photographic memory, she couldn't recall ever seeing such a fat fellow in the dungeon.
Suddenly, An Ge looked at the other person in surprise, "You're that half-elf?"
“Yes, sir, we do share the same bloodline. I am truly honored,” the half-elf replied happily.
Good heavens, she's only been gone a few days, how did she get so fat?
Seemingly aware of An Ge's doubts, the chubby elf offered an explanation, "I'm prone to gaining weight. As long as I get enough rest and eat normally, I won't lose weight."
Ange looked at the chubby elf with some pity. This was probably what they meant by "even drinking cold water can cause problems," right? As a half-elf, was it really normal for her to gain weight so easily?
Judging from the fat mixed-race elf, he should be doing well these days.
That's true. Now that Liu Tingxue is in charge of the lab, she probably won't be arresting people for experiments anymore. Without the threat to their lives, wouldn't they be more relaxed and carefree?
Just then, I saw the guards walking this way.
The guard stared at An Ge for a while. "You're the half-elf who was sick before, right? Looks like you're better now. Now that you're better, come with me. And you, you too, come with me." The guard pointed and brought out the people with elven blood from the dungeon.
During An Ge's absence, whenever the guards came to arrest people, everyone used the excuse that An Ge was sick. Fortunately, they had been arresting more mixed-race people recently, so the absence of a few wouldn't attract attention; otherwise, Liu Tingxue's departure would have been discovered.
Upon hearing the guard's words, An Ge immediately noticed the envious looks from the crowd.
Hmm? Envious?
I haven't seen Liu Tingxue for a while, so I'll take this opportunity to catch up with her.
Thinking of this, An Ge obediently followed the guard out of the dungeon.
After An Ge left, the people in the dungeon started discussing.
"You're so lucky, sir, to be able to get a good rest as soon as you arrive."
"The adults have been working so hard for us for so long, isn't this a good thing? What, are you jealous, kid?"
"No, no, how could that be? I'm really jealous of that chubby kid. This is the third time he's been called over, isn't it? I haven't been over even once."
"He's been called out several times before, and I've never seen you envious of him."
"How can that be the same?" he muttered under his breath, resigned to his fate.
When An Ge arrived at the lab, she finally understood why everyone was looking at her with envy.
An Ge took a sip of milk tea, sat on the comfortable sofa, ate the fruit that Hu Jiu had peeled, and watched Liu Tingxue play with the utensils with curiosity.
Thanks to the Qiankun Bracelet's preservation function, she was able to enjoy a hot cup of milk tea.
The others who were brought along didn't enjoy the same comforts as An Ge, but they were still able to get a good rest in the next room. If they got hungry, someone would bring them food.
Therefore, everyone went from being terrified at the first mention of it to now being eager to be brought over.
Although they didn't know what the people here were doing to them, Lord Hu Jiu said that there would be no danger in the laboratory, so everyone felt relieved and came over.
"How long has she been in this oblivious state?" After she came in and greeted her, Liu Tingxue continued her research without looking up.
"Hmm, it's been a while. I'm ignoring her. Do you want some fruit?" Hu Jiu said nonchalantly.
When An Ge woke up after a short rest, she saw Liu Tingxue looking at her with panda eyes.
Wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth, An Ge stretched and said, "You're finally done? You researchers are terrifying. Hu Jiu told me you've been working on it non-stop for days. You haven't had a break since you took over this lab, have you?"
An Ge asked with concern, "Although Liu Tingxue can go for days without sleeping, that's because she uses cultivation to replace sleep, not because she's busy every day like me."
"An Xiaoge, I'm almost there!" Liu Tingxue said with a joyful expression.
"Uh, please don't get addicted to this like Lyon did. Didn't we agree before that we were just setting a trap for Fang Yuanyuan?" An Ge said with some concern when she saw Liu Tingxue's state.
How should I put it? Liu Tingxue's crazy behavior is almost the same as Leon's.
But she wasn't Fang Yuanyuan; she had no interest in the so-called talent fusion technique and didn't want Liu Tingxue to become like Leon.
"Don't worry, An Xiaoge, I'm just a little engrossed in something that interests me. I promise I will never do anything immoral."
"real?"
"It couldn't be more real."
An Ge was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, I believe you. However, if I find that you will stop at nothing to achieve your goals in the future, then our relationship will end here."
This was the most serious thing Ange had ever said since the arrival of the divine servants.
In fact, An Ge's feelings towards Liu Tingxue have always been quite complicated. Although she knows that Liu Tingxue has her own principles, her behavior is somewhat unconventional. In addition, her recent obsession with research makes it hard for An Ge not to worry.
Ange knew that none of her divine servants were as harmless as they appeared, and she chose to believe in them, but believing did not mean ignoring some of their actions.
Even if it's someone else, once they cross her bottom line, she will show no mercy.
Sensing the seriousness in An Ge's tone, Liu Tingxue also became serious for once, "Even if it's just to stay by An Xiaoge's side, I can't do something against my conscience."
If it weren't for Ange's divine servant, she couldn't guarantee she wouldn't have been drawn to this research. But now, compared to medical and toxicological skills, she had people and things she cared about more.
How could she bear to betray An Ge's trust in her so much?
Liu Tingxue thought that this was probably why Lu Yan, who was clearly an evil demon, was willing to be bullied by An Ge.
Entrusting your trust to people like them is not something everyone can do.
