Damn, I didn't see that coming!
Yu Jiu'an is surprisingly tough!
At this moment, the onlookers couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Wei Yousi seemed not to have expected Shi Xi to expose his secrets so directly.
Although he did do that, Shi Xi exposed it in public, which was no different from throwing his face on the ground and stomping on it!
He was stunned for a moment before his eyes reddened and he said with a wronged expression, "I didn't, I was just asking."
"If Brother Jiu'an isn't willing to give it to me, that's fine. There's no need to say such things to me over two crystal cores..."
"Really? I thought you were the kind of shameless freeloader." Shi Xi stared straight at him, as if she had seen through his little trick.
"Oh, it was all a misunderstanding."
"..." Wei Yousi.
He wasn't stupid; of course he understood Shi Xi's sarcasm. In fact, the other party was practically pointing her finger at him and cursing him.
"In that case, to express my apology, I will answer again..." Shi Xi said with an embarrassed expression.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better. Wei Yousi was stunned for a moment, thinking that the mockery just now was just an illusion. He forced a smile and looked at Shi Xi with a fake smile.
Shi Xi looked at Wei Yousi, who was full of expectation, shook her head, and said, "Sorry, I can't give it to you."
"..." Wei Yousi almost fainted from anger.
He swallowed the "thank you" he had prepared and glared at Shi Xi.
Shi Xi seemed not to have noticed, coughed twice, and said, "Since you said I'm your idol..."
"So you came to see your idol without any preparation, right? You wouldn't be that stingy, would you? Really? Really?"
Tang Jue, standing at the front of the crowd, turned his gaze to Shi Xi.
Unexpected.
This Yu Jiu'an is quite interesting.
As for the cold medicine, he didn't take it seriously at all, and was just playing around with his own fox tail in Shi Xi's mind.
[Trying to argue with Shi Xi is like a fool playing with mud—what's the point of having nothing better to do?]
Ganmaoling glanced at him briefly.
[If you're bad at this, practice makes perfect! (Bonus: a fluffy middle finger)]
Upon hearing what Ganmaoling said, Shi Xi's lips curled up slightly.
"Ah (↘), you came with vacuum hands?" Shi Xi coughed twice more.
"I was even planning to give you my autograph." He looked disappointed, his bright eyes fixed on the crystal core in Wei Yousi's hand.
The meaning is obvious—
I've done this much for your idol, how can you not give me two crystal cores as a token of appreciation?
"..." Wei Yousi never dreamed that he would be blackmailed one day.
He's not even a real fan of Yu Jiu'an, so why would he want his lousy autograph?
It can't be eaten or drunk.
Do you want to make things difficult for yourself?!
...
When Si Beiling arrived, he saw Shi Xi coughing incessantly. Her originally pale and sickly face was flushed, clearly indicating that she had been bullied.
Wei Yousi glared at him angrily, looking as if she was about to jump up and hit him at any moment.
Si Beiling's brows furrowed deeply.
What's wrong with this person? How can they bully a patient like this!
"What's going on?" He looked around and saw people waiting to see how he would handle the situation, except for one person who seemed relatively normal.
Si Beiling finally turned his gaze to Tang Jue.
Tang Jue glanced at Shi Xi, who was coughing as if she couldn't breathe, paused for a moment, and then told Si Beiling everything that had just happened, word for word.
Si Beiling's expression changed from a furrowed brow to a frown, and then to suppressing the upward curve of his lips.
He glanced at Shi Xi, who was practically drooling over the crystal cores, and finally said to Wei Yousi, "Since they've come to see their idol, let's give him some crystal cores."
Upon hearing Si Beiling's words, Shi Xi immediately extended her hand and smiled at Wei Yousi:
"Since you're being so polite, I won't stand on ceremony."
No way, when the hell have you ever been polite?!
Wei Yousi was so angry he wanted to curse, but Si Beiling was clearly protecting Shi Xi. He wasn't stupid; how could he embarrass Si Beiling in front of so many people?
He had no choice but to reluctantly take out the crystal core and hand it to Shi Xi.
Wei Yousi just wanted to leave as quickly as possible and dig up more crystal cores to make up for the losses... Shi Xi glanced at him, then asked Si Beiling, "Did you bring paper and pen?"
Si Beiling noticed Shi Xi winking at him, paused for a moment, and then took out a pen from his person.
Shi Xi took the pen, opened the cap, and then looked Wei Yousi up and down with a playful expression.
Just then, Wei Yousi's friend stepped forward, "Yousi, we haven't finished mining the crystal cores yet, it's time to go back."
He pulled Wei Yousi aside, glanced at Shi Xi with a displeased expression, and then said to Si Beiling, "Brother Si, we're leaving now."
Shi Xi watched as Wei Yousi gave Si Beiling a fawning smile, then sheepishly took his leave and disappeared into the crowd.
The onlookers dispersed as well.
Shi Xi returned the pen to Si Beiling and noticed that Tang Jue, who was still standing to the side, seemed to be observing him.
When he looked over, the other person had already turned around and returned to their own area.
"……?" What's up with this person?
...
Seeing that Shi Xi was the only one there, Si Beiling frowned and couldn't help but ask, "Where's Song Guizhou?"
If we're talking about people you shouldn't mess with in the apocalypse, healing-type ability users are definitely on the list, since no one can guarantee they won't get hurt.
Therefore, healing-type ability users are relatively respected in the Wind Taming Base.
Of course, some arrogant and conceited superhumans look down on healing superhumans who have little offensive power.
—Even healing-type ability users of the same level.
Shi Xi assumed he was just concerned about Song Guizhou, and pointed to a hot pot restaurant not far away, saying, "He said there were a lot of zombies over there, so he went over."
Shi Xi thought the other party would go over and take a look, but to her surprise, Si Beiling was still standing there.
"Do you know who that person was just now?" Si Beiling suddenly asked.
"I don't know." Shi Xi shook her head, looked at Si Beiling, and had a puzzled expression on her face.
"Wei Yousi was Xue Yushang's college classmate..." Si Beiling said calmly, as if simply stating a fact, "I've heard that the two have a close relationship."
Wei Yousi is an ordinary person who has not awakened any superpowers, but Xue Yushang is a lightning-type superpower user.
Wei Yousi was not originally on today's task list, but Xue Yushang withdrew voluntarily, giving the spot to Wei Yousi.
He had heard people mention Xue Yushang's name before; he held a high position in the Wind Taming Base.
Shi Xi understood what Si Beiling meant.
"...So I've kicked a hornet's nest?" Shi Xi blinked and asked.
"It's us," Si Beiling said.
After a pause of one second, Si Beiling corrected, "And it's not exactly a rock-solid plate either."
Xue and Shang's lightning-type abilities have been stuck at the second level for a long time and have not yet broken through to the third level.
For Si Beiling, it was nothing.
