Two voices rang out at the same time, and both Lu Manman and Ye Xingfan looked at Qi Xiuyuan with surprise.
I never expected that the senior with the cold and aloof demeanor would be so warm-hearted.
Hmm, upon closer inspection, he doesn't seem cold anymore; he even seems to have a bit of a fawning attitude.
Lu Manman shook her head, thinking she must have misread it. She waved her hand and said, "No need, I'm fine. I just need to rest."
She was just tired, exhausted, and drained; as for her physical injuries, she had already healed them with her supernatural abilities.
Upon hearing this, the two realized she didn't seem to be lying, so they didn't say anything and went into their respective treatment pods.
A short while later, Ye Xingfan, with a rosy complexion, emerged from the treatment pod. Looking at Lu Manman, who was still lying paralyzed on the ground, her mind was filled with questions.
She was clearly the one being focused on by the Zerg Queens, so why did she seem perfectly fine except for being exhausted? Could this be the power of 3S+ mental strength?
And... Ye Xingfan, recalling the bizarre scene just now, couldn't help but ask, "Why is the Zerg Queen so obsessed with you?"
The Zerg Queen was acting like she was possessed; she didn't even react when being attacked, practically giving away... uh, no, I mean giving away her head.
They hadn't even reverted to their original forms. Thinking about how terrifying the Zerg Queen would be if she reverted to her original form, Ye Xingfan couldn't help but feel a surge of relief. Thank goodness they hadn't changed. But why was that? Had they suddenly become stupid?
Just then, Qi Xiuyuan, whose face was still pale and unsightly, also came out of the treatment pod and stared at Lu Manman upon hearing this.
They are all waiting for the long road ahead to provide an answer.
The road ahead is long: ...
Don't look at her like that, it will put her under a lot of pressure. Lu Manman frowned. To be honest, she didn't know why her blood was so tempting to the Zerg Queen.
But under the scrutinizing gazes of two pairs of eyes, Lu Manman had no choice but to give an answer: "Perhaps my mental strength is too high."
Ye Xingfan nodded. It wasn't impossible. 3S+ mental strength was indeed unique. However, if there were a humanoid weapon like Jian Guo on the battlefield... then the Zerg Queen wouldn't be a threat.
Ye Xingfan: "No matter what, you're pretty good. You're naturally suited for the battlefield. It's just that your stamina is still lacking and needs improvement. You need to work harder!"
Lu Manman nodded outwardly, but inwardly she disagreed completely. She was suited for rural life, not the battlefield.
But she also knew about her own constitution... she wondered if some people would really try to take advantage of her.
She glanced at Qi Xiuyuan furtively, only to find him staring at her thoughtfully. What was going on? Was she being watched?
Lu Manman was so frightened that she quickly looked away, alarm bells ringing in her mind.
Do they really want to take her to the battlefield, or... have they discovered her true identity?
Lu Manman was filled with anxiety. Seeing that the other person hadn't spoken, she became even more tense.
"Senior, our Ye family's guard team is stuck with the Zerg and hasn't escaped yet. There's a Zerg queen everywhere."
Suddenly a voice rang out, like heavenly music, which made Lu Manman relax a little.
Qi Xiuyuan nodded. "Our army is the same, but don't worry. I just watched the front-line video. Those are all newly born queens, nothing to fear. It's just that it will take some time for them to escape."
Ye Xingfan was relieved. "That's good. Now we just have to wait for them to arrive."
As an ordinary person, the first thing you think of when you encounter difficulties is to find the police, so Lu Manman's distress signal was sent to the Star Police.
Lu Manman didn't know if they would come, or where they would be if they did, so she didn't say anything.
Here it comes again, Qi Xiuyuan's eyes are looking over again.
The tangible gaze emanating from her made Lu Manman uneasy, and she couldn't help but ask, "Senior, is there something you need?"
Qi Xiuyuan nodded frankly, "Yes, come with me for a moment."
Lu Manman met Ye Xingfan's questioning gaze and followed Qi Xiuyuan to the bottom of a small earthen slope in the distance.
"Senior, is there something you need from me?"
Qi Xiuyuan didn't speak, but carefully examined Lu Manman's punk hairstyle.
"Why do you have such long bangs? Are you afraid of going into the lab?"
The road ahead is long!
"Huh? What laboratory?" Lu Manman looked at Qi Xiuyuan with a blank expression.
Qi Xiuyuan shook his head. "You're still as prone to lying as ever. What did you use to drug me last time?"
"Senior, are you alright?" Lu Manman lifted her bangs, leaned closer, and looked at Qi Xiuyuan with concern. "I don't understand what you're saying. Is it because of my bangs? If so, I'll cut them off as soon as I get back."
Qi Xiuyuan looked at a completely unfamiliar face, curled the corners of his mouth, but in his heart he was already certain that she was Huahua.
He only knew one person who could make the Zerg Queen lose control: Flower. And this evasive answer felt all too familiar.
"Senior, what are you laughing at? Is something wrong?"
Good heavens! This iceberg actually laughed! What's going on? This is really scary. Lu Manman felt even more panicked.
Qi Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I know you have many secrets. If you can do me a favor, I can keep your secrets, how about that?"
She has too many tricks up her sleeve. Rather than forcing her to hide everywhere, it's better to cooperate with her.
Seeing that Lu Manman remained silent, Qi Xiuyuan continued:
“A person who would risk exposing himself to remind me about dark matter; a person who would give me so many magical fruits; a person who would open the Hope Fruit and Vegetable Store to bring hope to everyone—I believe you are an upright and kind person. I will not hurt you and I am willing to respect you.”
"You don't need to worry. I know you can grow an infinite number of fruits and vegetables with just your hands. All I want in terms of cooperation is for you to provide us with more magical fruits and vegetables. In exchange, I can cover for you and do my best to keep your secret. What do you think?"
Lu Manman: "I really don't understand what you're saying."
Qi Xiuyuan released the treatment chamber he had just used. "Then I'll do a genetic test for you now."
The road ahead is long: ...
Sigh! As expected, she couldn't escape the shrewd Qi Xiuyuan. Lu Manman was very annoyed. Why did she always run into him?
However, if she could really cover for him, then he would indeed have an easier time.
Lu Manman sighed, somewhat resigned. "Cooperation... isn't impossible, but I don't trust you. You're just talking; it doesn't offer me any guarantee. After all, verbal promises are the least reliable. So what can you offer that will convince me?"
Under Lu Manman's questioning gaze, Qi Xiuyuan straightened up, straightened his uniform slightly, and said with a firm expression, "I am willing to make a vow of partnership to you."
Lu Manman: "...Are you serious?"
Qi Xiuyuan nodded, "Of course, because in this world, only the vows of partners are absolutely inviolable."
I do know this is a long road, because due to the unique polarity of the interstellar region, the yang energy is at its peak and the yin energy is at its lowest. Perhaps out of protection for women, this has inexplicably led to the development of a mysterious vow of companionship.
A vow of marital fidelity is usually made by the man on the day the couple becomes partners. Once made, it signifies that the man must be absolutely loyal to the woman and must not go against her will, thus better protecting the woman's rights; otherwise, he will be punished by heaven.
That sounds plausible, and it would definitely put Qi Xiuyuan on her side, making it absolutely safe. But... she would inexplicably have an extra partner.
Seeing Lu Manman's scrutinizing gaze, Qi Xiuyuan raised an eyebrow. "What? Are you dissatisfied with me?"
Lu Manman shook her head. "Let me think about it."
