Xia's parents never expected that she would experience so much on her trip—the fall of the outer K base, the scavengers. While they were still shaken, they were also proud of their daughter. However, the couple still had some other worries.
"Yixin, now that they know it's you, won't they come to retaliate? Why not just do it all at once..."
Although blood is thicker than water, what Xia Ru and Guo Miaomiao had done before had already chilled the hearts of the couple. Their two families had long been enemies. Neither of them were soft-hearted, and they knew that Xia Ru and her daughter would definitely resort to underhanded tactics again.
“Killing them is easy, but it’s hard to guarantee that the destruction of K Base and the killing of Bai Jingkong and Guo Miaomiao won’t cause trouble for other bases. It’s more meaningful for them to be alive than dead. The people from the seven major bases have already signed an agreement with them, but now Guo Miaomiao’s act can no longer continue.” Xia Yixin took out the emerald necklace from her storage ring and placed it in front of her mother.
She had already erased the previous owner information of the necklace from Guo Miaomiao's records.
"Mom, after you pledged your blood to the master, only you can use it. Since the spiritual spring water inside can cure the zombie virus, it must be useful for your research on the virus vaccine."
Upon hearing this, Xia's mother and father's eyes lit up, and they immediately realized the danger this thing posed.
"Yixin, you have strong superpowers, it's more suitable for you to claim this as your own." Xia's mother was worried that the necklace might be stolen if it stayed with her.
Xia Yixin shook her head. "Precisely because I have superpowers, it's like a chicken bone to me, but it's different for you. The spiritual spring water can improve your physique and prolong your life. Moreover, medicine has always been the strongest. For example, a bottle of painkiller is already worth hundreds of crystals. Virus vaccines will become our sharpest weapon."
After a little thought, Xia's parents understood what Xia Yixin meant.
After a moment's thought, the couple nodded firmly. "Okay, Yixin, we understand what you mean. Don't worry, we will work as fast as we can to develop a vaccine for the virus, to find new hope for the base, for you, and for all mankind!"
After persuading her parents and getting Xia's mother to accept the necklace as her owner, it was already late at night, and the personnel and construction issues for the new base were postponed until tomorrow.
She returned to her room, which was decorated in pink. It seemed that the previous occupant was a girl who dreamed of being a princess, as even the bed was pink. The window was open, and as she turned around, a warm and cozy figure immediately approached her.
It turned out to be a black panther.
He was twice the size of an ordinary black panther, filling half the room with his entire body, and with a flick of his tail, he knocked over a lamp.
Although she was happy to see him, she couldn't help but chuckle at his appearance. She stood on tiptoe and patted his head, asking, "Why didn't you come here with your own team?"
"What do you think I want to do?" he asked instead of answering, his golden eyes narrowing dangerously.
Xia Yixin knew he was bluffing, so she poked him and said, "Tsk, you have no choice but to do whatever you want."
On the way back, he had already explained his situation. These past few days, he had been using the Bai family bloodline to dissolve the zombie virus in his body. He should be able to return to human form once the virus is completely consumed. As for the time, it's really uncertain. It might be a month, a year, or even a whole dimension.
Xia Yixin checked his pulse and found that even the most powerful medical cheat couldn't help him.
The black panther lowered its head.
Feeling sorry for him, she took the initiative to hug him, but due to her height, she could only hug his thighs.
The man sighed inwardly. He was unhappy because even though he had found a wife, he couldn't hug, kiss, or lift her up high.
A gentle night breeze blew, and the bright moonlight shone outside; the new base was utterly peaceful.
It was a long-awaited reunion for the two of them, especially given the special circumstances of the previous world.
Xia Yixin had a lot to say about the previous punishment plane and about Mingyu. She kept him talking for a long time, and finally she sighed softly, "Our family has really had a lot of troubles."
Lu Yan looked at the little woman opposite him and wanted to reach out and hug her, but when he saw his own sharp claws, he withdrew them. His golden beast eyes were full of tenderness and love.
"Once we gather all the items from beyond the mortal realm and leave the system, we will meet him again in reality," Lu Yan reassured him.
Xia Yixin nodded. It was already good that she was able to meet and recognize Lu Yan so quickly. Now they had collected seven artifacts, and they only needed two more to leave.
"Oh, right, that necklace..."
Before she could finish speaking, she heard footsteps approaching from afar. Black Panther Lu Yan also perked up his ears and leaped out of the room window with a whoosh.
Unfortunately, the tip of its tail hit the bedside lamp and shattered completely with a snap.
"Yixin!?" It was Xia's mother who got up to use the bathroom at night.
Xia Yixin opened the door and gave a dry laugh, "It's nothing, I bumped into it by accident, Mom, you should go to sleep."
Xia's mother glanced at the room suspiciously, but instead of leaving immediately, she brought up a question that had been weighing on her mind for some time.
"Yixin, for various reasons before, and with your father around, I was too embarrassed to ask you, what about your feelings for Bai Jingkong?"
Xia Yixin was taken aback, noticing her mother's worry, and shook her head with a smile, "Don't worry, Mom, I've seen through him a long time ago. There's something I haven't told you before. Xia Runeng's arrogant treatment of us is partly due to Bai Jingkong's tacit approval. Moreover, now that I think about it, his purpose in approaching our family before the apocalypse wasn't pure."
Looking at Xia Yixin's relaxed expression through the moonlight, Xia's mother knew that she wasn't just pretending to be calm, and she was completely relieved.
He told her to close the window so she wouldn't catch a cold before leaving.
