The boy led her out of the yurt. Outside, there was a large bonfire feast, unlike what they usually did. There were people tending to each bonfire.
All around were cut-up yaks, and a whole yak leg was roasting over the campfire. When people came out and looked over, people respectfully held up a plate full of beef above their heads and presented it to them.
Boy: "Take it."
As he led her out, Jiang Shuyin called out to him, "Where are you taking me?"
The boy didn't turn his head. From the tents he passed, there were shouts of unrestrained venting, which gave her goosebumps all over.
He stopped at the tent halfway up the hillside, unzipped it, and peeked inside: "...Go in."
Jiang Shuyin remained standing still and changed the subject: "Why did you bring me here?"
The boy seemed amused by her naivety and gave a smile: "It's something between men and women."
At that moment, the person Jiang Shuyin immediately thought of was Xie Yin. If he were here, would she have avoided such danger?
But she refused to think about the problem any further; what had happened was done, and she had to find a solution immediately.
What would happen if I disagreed?
The boy's gaze shifted to the towering dome in the distance: "Except for the woman you and my father chose, everyone else will have to wait until tomorrow."
Jiang Shuyin remained silent for a few seconds, then a rebellious thought arose in her mind: "I can work hard to be your subordinate, but I can't do that kind of thing."
The boy rubbed his fingers together at his sides: "You don't need to move. You just need to lie down. I can give you whatever you want."
Jiang Shuyin: "I want to go home."
The young man scoffed, crawled into the tent, took off his coat, and brought out a bucket. He then released his water-based powers into the bucket, and water gushed out from his long, slender hands, filling it within minutes.
In front of her, he took off his clothes and threw them into the tent. When he was left with only his shorts, he looked up at her and said, "If you look again, I'll take action."
Jiang Shuyin turned around, the image in her mind still lingering on his six-pack abs, his tight and narrow waist, still a teenager, his shoulders not particularly broad, but one could see his future potential, his whole body was well-proportioned and slender, any more would make him strong, any less would make him thin.
The sound of splashing water reached her ears from behind, and she could already imagine the scene. After splashing a few times, she seemed to find it inconvenient, so she simply lifted the bucket and poured water over her head. The water droplets fell onto the stone, splashing onto her trouser legs and sticking to them.
Jiang Shu pulled at it with her hand, but the wind blew it back on, and it was still very cold.
Are you going to wash?
Before Jiang Shuyin could speak, he added, "You have to shower before entering my tent. Of course, if you sleep outside, you'll die."
The boy glanced at the magnified moon in the starry sky, which gradually turned orange-red: "Ten minutes left."
What could she do in ten minutes? Jiang Shuyin immediately thought of something: "Give me a bucket of water, thank you."
The boy filled the bucket with water, and the water was steaming. This was the first time Jiang Shuyin had ever known that water-based superpowers could control the water temperature.
After filling a bucket with hot water for her, the boy neither left nor turned around.
When Jiang Shu was down to just her short-sleeved shirt, she paused. Seeing that he didn't intend to leave, she turned around, took off her shirt, and revealed her fair skin, which looked like a night-blooming cereus bathed in fluorescence under the moonlight.
Jiang Shuyin washed the clothes carefully, reaching into her underwear to scrub them. Since her pants were already wet, she just washed them while still wearing them.
With only a little water left, she poured it down her neck, then quickly pulled out a long-sleeved pajama top from her canvas bag and put it on. The wet underwear soaked the clean pajama top as well.
Turning around, she saw that the boy had indeed been staring at her the whole time.
Their eyes met, and the other person turned and went inside first. In the meantime, she put her wet underwear into her canvas bag and used the doll to separate the black plum blossoms from her wet clothes. After doing this, she looked up casually and found that the moon was very close, like a face suddenly sticking out from behind her, which startled her.
The moonlight changed from yellowish-white to orange-red, with some black streaks in the middle. If you looked closely, those streaks seemed to be moving and not fixed.
Suddenly, she was pulled in forcefully. Jiang Shu struggled desperately but couldn't pull her hand away from his grasp. She was a strength-type ability user, how could she not even have this much strength?
System, system?
[Analyzing your request, please wait...]
[Aifuri, an alien race, Survival: Output: , possesses a triple helix genetic structure with one more DNA strand than Earth humans, has some of the abilities of psychic ability users, and is physically enhanced beyond that of ability users with strength or speed, a high-level water and ice ability user.]
What, aliens?
Jiang Shuyin calmed down, and the boy released her hand, staring warily at the moonlight outside.
Is the moon always this big here?
The boy glanced at her: "The moon you're talking about is actually a capture device. People with superpowers are captured by it to replenish their energy."
Jiang Shuyin recalled and asked in surprise, "No way, everything is fine on our end. How could this happen after all this time?"
"That's because Kelton was there, using his body to shield you from the moon's covetousness." The boy zipped up his jacket, and after a brief darkness, a lamp hanging in the middle was turned on. It was round, without a wick, and the light in the center was a kind of crystal.
Jiang Shuyin stared at it for a while, her eyes almost blurry, before belatedly realizing, "Could this be a light-element crystal core?"
The boy said nothing, which was taken as tacit agreement.
It's so big; it can't be produced in the body of a low-level creature like a mutated yak.
Turning our attention to the tent, it doesn't look big from the outside, but it's fully equipped with everything you need, including an induction cooker and an electric kettle, so you don't even have to go out to cook.
The carpet she's sitting on is made of yak hide, bleached green, like sitting on a green meadow. Against the tent are tables and chairs, as well as laptops, cell phones, and other things that people on Earth use.
The boy stared at her for a long time. On their planet, women like her were unattainable; they could only be obtained by force. So, after coming to Earth, his father went mad, tormenting women day and night, regardless of who they were or where they were. He would do anything he wanted.
But all he wanted was one woman, someone who could always be by his side, fighting and living alongside him. His father said he was dreaming.
Avery learned about the women here through his phone. They were much easier to win over than the natural women in the Shuler system. As long as you could say nice things and provide them with generous material conditions, you could win their hearts.
His gaze fell on Jiang Shuyin again, hoping that this woman would be easy to deal with as well.
