Chapter 65
Seeing everyone looking at her, Cheng Fu was confused: "Wait a minute, do I look like someone who knows the answer?"
She was sleeping in her room when the pollutants attacked! If the others hadn't gathered in the room, Cheng Fu probably wouldn't have known what was going on until now.
Xi Qiancheng, who had been with Cheng Fu, revealed the key information: "But, that ball of light did come out of your body."
This time Cheng Fu was really shocked: "Inside me?!"
What does that mean? Is there another person living inside her? The original?
...That's impossible, right? She'd never felt any interference from her original body's consciousness since she'd traveled through time.
Just as Cheng Fu was wondering who that person was, Signus' voice rang out from outside the door: "Can I come in?"
Even though the door was not closed, Signus still knocked and asked this question.
"You came from outside. Did you encounter the pollutant?" Phil asked while looking at Signus.
Signus was dressed meticulously and without a speck of dust, and it seemed that he had not come into direct contact with pollutants.
As expected, Signus shook his head. "No, I left the temple because I sensed a strange aura. But by then, the pollutants had already fled quickly. However, I'm a little worried about the direction they were heading..."
"Where did he escape to?" Xiao Wanyi's heart was filled with alarm.
Since Signus could even say the word "worry", Xiao Wanyi felt that the matter must be complicated.
"If I remember correctly, there should be a ruin in that direction." Signus said in a heavy tone.
A pollutant, after devouring the original guardian beast and destroying the ruins and escaping, headed for another ruin. It would be too much of a coincidence to say that its escape route just happened to pass through the ruins.
"It's too late to catch up now. The speed difference between us and the pollutants is too big." Ying Xue remembered that when the opponent turned into black mist, the speed of movement was so fast that even if several of them attacked at the same time, the pollutants could easily avoid it.
Wen Gengting pinched his chin and thought: "Besides, even if we catch up, we may not be able to fight him head-on."
Signus is the temple's guardian beast, and Ying Xue co-exists with him as a guardian beast. The strength of these two is already the best among them, but they are still no match for the pollutants, let alone the other few of them.
As for Cheng Fu... Wen Gengting looked up at her.
He always felt that Cheng Fu's strength should be above theirs, and he didn't know who would have the upper hand if she fought against Pollutant?
Wen Gengting was halfway through his thoughts when Cheng Fu was blocked by Xi Qiancheng: "Don't think about her."
Cheng Fu was still wondering why Xi Qiancheng suddenly turned his back to her, but only now did she realize that Xi Qiancheng was blocking Wen Gengting's gaze from scrutinizing her.
Xi Qiancheng continued, "Even if she can handle giant beasts and ordinary pollutants, the situation with that one is obviously different. If anything happens to her, we will lose our female master forever. Even so, are you still willing to let her take this risk?"
When a male loses his bonded female, no matter how many injuries he suffers in this dangerous apocalypse, there is basically no possibility of recovery except by using recovery potions.
Recovery potions were not easy to obtain, so no matter how badly Cheng Fu had treated them in the past, they would still protect her.
But now Wen Gengting...is he planning to let Cheng Fu deal with the ferocious pollutant?
Xi Qiancheng didn't understand, didn't want to understand, and couldn't accept it.
But Wen Gengting had his own opinion: "If we want to obtain the planet crystal, we will inevitably have to confront it. Although we don't know why it is targeting Cheng Fu, since it is heading to other ruins, it is possible that it will attack the guardian beasts of other ruins. If we want to deal with it then, its greatly increased strength will make it extremely difficult."
What Wen Gengting heard was indeed quite reasonable. Although he was a man with a lot of bad intentions, he was also the one who could analyze the gains and losses most rationally.
"I haven't officially fought it, so I don't know what my chances of success are against the pollutant." Cheng Fu looked at the current favorability of the beast husbands and made a rough calculation: "Besides, my attack ability can only be used for 80 seconds at present."
Cheng Fu's ability is time-limited. This is the first time everyone except Ying Xue has heard of it.
Xiao Wanyi muttered, "80 seconds? Why is it such a precise number?"
After he brought it up, Ying Xue also felt something was wrong: "Wait, this isn't the time you told me before. Can it be increased?"
Cheng Fu nodded: "Yes."
"If the duration can be increased, your life safety can also be guaranteed. The question is, how can we increase the time? Do you know?" The person who asked this question happened to be Phil.
Cheng Fu looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping herself, and finally closed her mouth tightly.
How should she answer?
Said that increasing the duration of the relationship by increasing the favorability? Then wouldn't Phil, who was already upset because the reason for the contract was not so simple, be even harder to appease after hearing her words?
Cheng Fu looked embarrassed and hesitated. Even someone as innocent as Signus asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is it a way to increase the duration? Can't you tell me?"
But Cheng Fu isn't the type of person who would be hesitant and unwilling to speak directly, right?
unless……
Except for Signus, everyone present who had a rough idea of Cheng Fu's personality had strange expressions.
Cheng Fu is a person who doesn't hide anything, otherwise she wouldn't have separated the food and medicine. It would be difficult for her to speak up, so she probably just...
Although there were some guesses, not everyone could ask directly. Of course, this "everyone" did not include Wen Gengting, who was always rational.
"Is that method related to your beastly husbands?" Wen Gengting asked directly.
In his opinion, Cheng Fu's ability can be increased by forming a contract with a new beast husband. Therefore, the method to improve her ability is probably related to the beast husbands.
After seeing Cheng Fu's expression change from being speechless to being frozen after her true thoughts were revealed, what else is there to guess?
Xi Qiancheng was somewhat helpless: "Your face is too easy to guess."
Everything she's thinking is shown on her face. Even without the ability to read minds, if you observe carefully, you can figure out Cheng Fu's face-reading skills.
Ying Xue pondered alone, muttering quietly, "Since the last ruins, something must have happened to increase the attack time..."
Then the more Ying Xue thought about it, the redder her face became.
Xiao Wanyi glanced at him with a look of disgust: "What's wrong with you?"
He even felt the temperature around him. Wasn't it hot?
Ying Xue whined, her face flushed yellow, her voice as quiet as a mosquito's: "So, you have to spend the night with us so that your abilities can grow, right?"
