“What a morbid idea.” Hunchen lowered his eyes, seemingly pondering something. “But my lord, as far as I know, you don’t seem to have any connection with that unknown woman.”
"There's a lot you don't know." Xia Yaoxuan glanced at Hunchen, stood up, and lazily stretched. "I'm too lazy to talk to you. I'm planning to go to the Nanxiao base to find her. What about you? What are you planning to do next? Come with me or stay here and work on the documents?"
"I'll go with you." Hunchen finished the water in his cup in one gulp, then sat cross-legged at the table and looked up at Xia Yaoxuan, saying calmly.
"Hmm? That's unusual." Xia Yaoxuan looked down at Hunchen and chuckled gently. "Don't you always prefer to stay in your room and quietly work on documents?"
"It's just a rare moment of curiosity." Hunchen got up and picked up a pure white mask from the desk next to him, putting it on. His muffled voice came faintly from under the mask, making it impossible to hear the emotion in his words. "What kind of person is someone who can fascinate you so much, sir?"
Xia Yaoxuan looked at Hunchen, who had already put on a mask, raised an eyebrow, turned around, and walked to another room in a few steps, quickly disappearing into the darkness.
"Suit yourself, but don't let your curiosity cross any lines."
...
Warm sunlight streamed in through the window, and the eyelashes of the sleeping girl by the window fluttered slightly before she slowly opened her eyes.
Ji Yueyao raised her hand slightly to block the dazzling light and sat up, blinking her eyes, her mind blank for a moment.
Her face felt cold, and when she raised her hand to wipe it, she realized that her face was covered with tears.
She felt a dull ache in her heart... Was she crying in her dream?
In a dream? That's right. Ji Yueyao looked up at the window. The sunlight outside was bright and warm, but even the warmest sunlight couldn't warm Ji Yueyao's already cold heart.
It turns out that she was already dead.
So what am I now?
Frustrated, Ji Yueyao pounded her forehead, instinctively trying to ignore the problem. She gritted her teeth, attempting to distract herself, and looked down at the various bandages covering her body. After a moment of silence, she stood on the ground and surveyed her surroundings.
Where is this? She clearly remembers... she remembers using her powers to absorb all the magma, and then being overwhelmed by the backlash from the black hole's absorption of power, causing her body to collapse and her to faint. How did she wake up in this unfamiliar place?
Where is Zhu Mu now? He was directly attacked by that lava monster, and his body was already weak. Nobody knows how he is now.
Ji Yueyao tried to walk towards the door while holding onto the bed, but she couldn't muster any strength at all and couldn't take a single step despite her efforts.
"You're awake?" Just as Ji Yueyao was struggling with her question, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a young man walked in. The young man had light blue hair and his eyes were also a deep blue, which appeared even more striking against his fair skin.
"...Sky?" Ji Yueyao paused for a moment and asked with a question in her voice. The boy in front of her looked almost exactly like the spider-like strange bird she had encountered. For a moment, she really believed that the boy in front of her was Sky.
“I am the sea.” A dim light flashed in the boy’s eyes. He shook his head, glanced at Ji Yueyao, and then looked away slightly. “I am the younger brother of the sky you mentioned.”
"You're its younger brother?" Ji Yueyao frowned. So the person in front of him was an alien? The sky said it was a direct descendant of a super-powerful type, so this boy in front of him should also be a super-powerful alien.
But since she saw Sky's younger brother here, does that mean she successfully found Sky's home? She still remembered the despair she felt back then because of her own powerlessness, and she never expected that she would actually end up here.
She instinctively reached into her pocket to take out Sky, but found nothing but bandages. Realizing something was wrong, she looked down and froze.
At this moment, she was completely naked. Although her body was wrapped in bandages, some parts that shouldn't be seen... were indeed still exposed to the air.
"..." Ji Yueyao looked up at the sea that had already turned away, and suddenly realized that the guy was indeed different from his brother. The sky was a mischievous and dirty creature.
Calmly yet swiftly, Ji Yueyao rolled the cup behind her over, covering herself in two quick movements. Then, with a slight frown, she asked, "Could I have a piece of clothing?"
"Okay." Hai nodded, then quickly took out a white robe from beside him and handed it over.
Ji Yueyao was speechless. So he had been carrying his clothes with him the whole time.
Ji Yueyao took the clothes and quickly put them on. Then, after stretching a bit, she looked calmly at Haidao and asked, "Where are my companions now?"
"The human who came with you?" Hai asked.
Ji Yueyao lowered her eyes. "That's right, and the sky is also my partner."
"You've also taken your brother as your partner?" Hai looked at Ji Yueyao and tilted his head. "No wonder you were willing to bring it home. My family is also very grateful to you."
"No need to thank me, it's all part of my responsibility." Ji Yueyao's eyes dimmed slightly. The sky was in this state because of her incompetence... She should have taken responsibility for it. "Bamboo and Wood... how is the human who was with me?"
"He suffered a severe blow from the flames, and all his organs have been damaged to some extent... However, we can heal him here, and in return, we will do our best to heal him. You don't need to worry too much." Hai said calmly, his words seemingly devoid of any emotion.
"Thank you so much!" Ji Yueyao's heart had jumped when she heard the first half of Hai's sentence, but thankfully Hai gave her hope afterward.
"Are you able to move now? I need to take you to see my father and mother." Hai nodded, then reached out to touch Ji Yueyao's wound, wanting to check how well she was recovering.
Ji Yueyao felt a chill run down her spine as he touched her. Her heart skipped a beat, and she turned slightly to avoid him. "What are you doing? It's so cold."
“I’d like to examine your wound,” Hai said, frowning.
"..." Okay, Ji Yueyao was a little embarrassed. "Sorry, I'm just not used to you touching me suddenly."
Not used to it? Hai was puzzled. When he was bandaging Ji Yueyao's entire body, he had already touched her all over. (To be continued.)
