Chang Le spoke softly, "Kurai, I'm a little cold."
Kulei then calmed himself down and helped treat the wound on her back. He wiped away the blood and dirt, then applied medicine and bandaged it.
Kulei's slightly nasal voice rang out: "You need stitches."
Such wounds can heal quickly in the treatment chamber, but rapidly healing flesh is like a surgical incision, prone to tearing, especially for superhumans who are frequently in combat. Therefore, suturing is the safest option for these wounds.
Chang Le's voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of comfort: "I'll get it stitched up when I get back, Kulei, you can press harder, it won't hurt."
Kulei's fingers trembled slightly before he continued what he was doing.
Her voice was a little hoarse: "Lele, every time this byproduct comes out, does your back get... injured?"
She actually wanted to say "torn apart," but those two words were too painful for her to say.
Chang Le shook his head: "No, it's just that we needed it urgently this time, that's why it happened."
Kulei didn't say anything, so it was unclear whether he believed her or not.
After things were settled, Kulei gave Chang Le a spare shirt—Chang Le had left in a hurry and hadn't brought a change of clothes.
Chang Le put on Kulei's long-sleeved sweatshirt. Because of the significant height difference between the two, the sweatshirt was noticeably long and looked loose on Chang Le.
Chang Le was straightening his sleeves when Kulei suddenly spoke:
"Lele, come back to the Merkelins family with me."
Chang Le was stunned.
Kulei's eyes were incredibly serious: "In Merkelins, I can definitely protect your safety, and you can start over there."
Chang Le was silent for a moment, then laughed: "Kurai... Sister, I'm sorry."
Kulei's deep blue eyes dimmed; she still wanted to advise her:
"The Central Plains are a place of trouble for you. You will not be happy staying here. Why not let go of everything from the past and give yourself a chance to start over?"
Chang Le's face slowly turned pale.
She gave a bitter smile: "Kurai, many people are watching me. I have no right to forget everything and start over."
“I’ve already tried once, giving up everything.”
Kulei's pupils trembled slightly.
Chang Le lowered her eyes, concealing the tears welling up in them: "No one can give me a second chance."
"But I don't want to see you..."
I don't want to see you... carrying a heavy burden and walking alone.
Chang Le took her hand, looked up at her and smiled: "This is my own choice, Kulei."
Kulei's eyes suddenly reddened, and he abruptly turned his head away, cursing in his native language.
Chang Le hesitated for a moment, then reached out and gently hugged her: "Kurai, thank you for giving me another way out."
Kulei's body trembled, and he grabbed her tightly, his voice fierce:
"Damn, if I had met you sooner, I would have definitely turned you gay and kept you by my side!"
Chang Le was so frightened that she clutched her hands to her chest, her voice trembling: "I...I really thought of you as my older sister..."
"Look how scared you are, it was just a joke." Kulei glared at her.
"At first, I had some feelings for you, but after spending time with you, I realized you didn't have those feelings. Now that I know you have someone else in your heart, I won't go looking for trouble anymore."
"You think your sister's embrace is just any ordinary hug? If I weren't single, I wouldn't let you hug me! You're just being smug!"
Chang Le smiled sheepishly and tugged at her sleeve with two fingers:
"Kurai, you will definitely find the person you can spend your whole life with."
Kulei instinctively asked, "And what about you?"
Chang Le's smile froze.
Kulei's expression also changed slightly: "I'm sorry."
"Hey, let's hurry back, things should be over outside by now."
Chang Le stood up and pulled her towards Bai Xie.
"Slow down, be careful not to get hurt." The performer immediately put on a stern face when she saw her running over.
Chang Le immediately slowed down and walked over.
Iris and the others returned at this time, while the members of the Qianji Squad rested on the other side.
Wan Buxun said, "The seventh-order and above saber-toothed ants have been completely eradicated. Within ten years, these saber-toothed ants will not pose a threat to the border."
"The saber-toothed ants have been eliminated, the location of the marrow-eating spider has been determined, and now all that's left is the scaled beast."
Of the three major alien races near the border of the Central Plains in the west, the only one they had never encountered was the Scaled Beast.
Iris said, "Nightingale said there are many birds here, and she can find the Scaled Beast quickly."
Chang Le said, "The strong smell of blood here will easily attract strange creatures. Let's find a safer place first before we start looking for the Scaled Beast."
The group moved to a different location, and Si Yeying released her birds to search for traces of the Qilin Beast.
Chang Le leaned on Kulei's shoulder, feeling at peace.
The tentacles took a heavy toll on both his supernatural abilities and mental strength, and coupled with excessive blood loss, Chang Le actually fell into a deep sleep.
"Shh." Kulei gestured to the crowd.
...
When Chang Le woke up again, the sunlight was already blinding.
She was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was actually on Raymond's back, and the sun was already high in the sky.
She suddenly raised her head, feeling a bit dizzy from waking up so suddenly from a deep sleep.
"Awake?" Raymond asked, tilting his head.
Chang Le looked around at the familiar scenery, a little confused: "Where is this?"
Bai Xie walked over: "We just finished cleaning up the marrow-eating spiders."
Chang Le was stunned, then suddenly realized: "So it's all cleaned up? I've been sleeping for so long!"
She turned her head and looked around, only to find that compared to before she fell asleep, everyone had more or less signs of a fight on their bodies.
