Instead of withdrawing her spiritual power, Yan Liu intensified its outpouring, gathering more and more spiritual power around Cangying until his face was covered in blood before she stopped: "I'm not treating you intentionally. It's because you're researching space jump technology, and I want you to succeed in your research quickly so my master and I can return to Earth sooner."
Cangying's chest wound no longer ached faintly, as if all the pain had completely disappeared. "Even if you don't come, the space jump technology will be put into use within four months, so you don't need to worry about not being able to return to Earth within four months."
Yan Liu smiled, her red dress accentuating her stunning figure. Her beautiful, slightly wavy green hair made her alluring and captivating, with a mesmerizing charm. Her exquisite, flawless face was breathtakingly beautiful.
Her beauty left the others at the research center speechless, their eyes glued to her, silently exclaiming, "She's a fairy! She's a fairy!"
However, Cangying could not see her beauty at all; his gaze towards her grew colder and colder, as if she had offended him.
"Are you afraid of me?" Yan Liu turned around, took a step forward to face Cangying, and approached him: "Little dragon brat, why are you so afraid of me?"
Researchers who were close to Cangying gasped in shock. Their Prince Yanliu was far too domineering, calling the Deep Sea Mermaid High Priest's son "son".
Cangying stood with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed, and asked, "Why should I be afraid of you?"
Yan Liu replied, "Yes, why are you afraid of me? I'm curious too!"
Aren't you afraid she'll back down?
This little dragon cub, who says one thing but means another, is so adorable.
"I'm not afraid of you!" Cangying paused, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes. "I have other things to do and cannot entertain you. Please leave!"
"You're such a scumbag." Yan Liu transformed into a cool and sassy older sister. "I used my mental power to heal you and stop your wounds from hurting, and instead of thanking me, you asked me to leave?"
"Little dragon brat, your behavior is even worse than that of a scumbag. At least a scumbag would try to appease you before acting like a scumbag. You not only don't appease me, you don't even thank me, it's like you have some deep-seated grudge against me."
"I just don't understand. All told, I've met you once with my master in the Milky Way, once when you came to Abel Manor to see me a couple of days ago, and this is the third time. Why are you avoiding me like the plague?"
"Is it because I saw you were injured? That's a bit much. Do you think you were injured, that you were faking it, and that my master couldn't tell?"
Cangying's dark eyes suddenly sharpened: "You've seen me in the Milky Way?"
Yan Liu spread her hands: "Yes, in the deep sea of ancient Earth in the Milky Way, during the hunt, the three of us—me, Jiang Dandan, and Lingxi—followed the little prince of the empire, Jiang Jiang, and met you in the deep sea."
Cangying's brows furrowed so tightly they could trap a fly: "Space, she has a space!"
“Yes, Princess Jiang Jiang has a spatial ability, just like you.” Yan Liu nodded. “However, your space can only hold inanimate objects, while hers can hold living things.”
"The day we met in the deep sea, we were both in her space. Didn't expect that, did you?"
The old vampire's space is for storing zombies. As for bravery, it's still that vampire bravery. Only he knows how big his space is and how many zombies it contains.
However, it is certain that given his lavish spending, the fact that he could easily produce a level 20 or 30 zombie crystal core is enough to prove that the zombies in his space are definitely over 3,000 years old.
Of course, in Shu Xubai's mind, the most dazzling and nourishing zombie crystal core in the entire Abel Galaxy and Milky Way is that he is the boss of vampire zombies. No matter how old or how young a zombie is, he is just a little brother in front of him and they all have to listen to him.
"I really didn't expect that!" Cangying's eyes flashed, he suppressed a breath, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and his words were full of coldness and aloofness: "May I ask what brings you to me today?"
Yan Liu blinked lightly, her voice clear and innocent, and said, "Who said I came to see you today? I didn't come to see you. I just came to check on how the space jump research is going."
"But when I came in, I saw that all the researchers here had eyes as black as pandas, so I just casually sorted out their mental energy. It wasn't for you, so don't be nervous."
Yanliu's unspoken message was: Look at you, so fierce, so defensive, so wary. I'm not here to see you, why are you so nervous?
Cangying paused for a moment: "Sorry!"
"It's alright!" Yan Liu knew how to retreat in order to advance. She had lived for thousands of years and had eaten more meat and drunk more blood than this little dragon had eaten shrimp and fish. "Didn't you say you had something to ask me for? I had forgotten. There is indeed something I would like to ask you for help with. I wonder if we could talk in private for a moment?"
Cangying paused for a moment, then said, "Alright, this way please!"
Yanliu was the first to lift her foot and walk outside.
Cangying followed closely behind, reminding the others not to forget their work.
After the two of them left the research center, the other researchers, along with the director, started gossiping about the couple: "What a handsome guy and beautiful girl combination! His Highness Cangying is aloof and distant, while His Highness Yanliu is both cool and stunningly beautiful."
"You mustn't knock, you mustn't knock! Princess Yanliu is a princess of our Troya Empire, the chief healer of the entire Abel Galaxy. No one in the Abel Galaxy can compare to her."
"If she were to be with Lord Cangying, wouldn't she become a member of the deep-sea mermaid race, and wouldn't our Troya Empire then be without Princess Yanliu?"
"Yes, yes, yes, ptooey! Not only can we not ship them, we have to break them up! We can't let them be together! We can't let the High Priest of the Deep Sea Mermaid Clan steal our Prince Yanliu away!"
"You talk a good game, but you're all so worried. If those two go out now, who will eavesdrop? Who will stop them? I'll apply for a raise for whoever does!"
Once the institute director uttered his words, no one dared to respond or go out. They were mainly afraid, mainly cowardly, and dared not go out to stop him.
After leaving the research center, Yanliu did not go downstairs. Instead, she stood by the window on the same floor, took out the black snake Lingxi, which she had retrieved from the palace, and handed it to Cangying: "This is my pet, named Lingxi. It has grown horns, developed scales, and has two small claws, but it doesn't have hind claws yet."
"You are a dragon, a dragon unique in the Abel Galaxy and even the Milky Way. Could you please help me take care of my little pet, so that my little pet can absorb your dragon energy and grow into a majestic and powerful dragon as soon as possible!"
Cangying looked at the dark, thin, coiled spirit stream, which resembled a mosquito coil, and refused, saying, "I'm sorry, I can give it my blood to drink and my spiritual power, but I cannot take it with me personally!"
Yanliu asked curiously, "Why?"
She finally found a snake to keep an eye on this little golden dragon for her, to see when he would have a moment of despair or when he was about to die, so that she could come and save him like a hero. Wouldn't that force him to owe her a favor?
Now that he's refusing, if he wants to make me owe him a favor without anyone knowing, then he'll just disappear. Rebuilding the Earth, wouldn't that mean one of my useful tools is gone? No, no, I have to figure this out.
Cangying's voice deepened as he spoke: "Snakes can transform into dragons. According to the rules of my race, if I take a snake with me to eat, drink, and live, and help it transform into a dragon, then I consider it my partner!"
