Xia Shizhao, who had felt much better after venting his emotions, now found even the potato chips in his hand unappetizing.
Cat ears? How can a person have cat ears?
Ye Qiuling isn't a half-orc, is she?
Where did those ears come from?
Xia Shizhao's face showed utter bewilderment.
And those ears look just like Little Tiger's ears.
So she stood at Ye Qiuling's door, gently knocked, and asked in a calm tone, "What was that on your head just now?"
Ye Qiuling did not answer.
"Speak up, why do you have cat ears on your head, and they're black and white too?"
Xia Shizhao, standing at the door, continued to press for answers, his tone ambiguous.
Click.
The door opened, Ye Qiuling's cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes were slightly watery. She had lost her usual sharpness and grabbed Xia Shizhao's wrist, pulling him into the room.
A warm breath brushed against her face. Xia Shizhao narrowed her eyes, looking at Ye Qiuling who was leaning against her. Ye Qiuling's hands were on either side of Xia Shizhao's shoulders. Xia Shizhao raised her eyebrows, a fierce glint in her eyes, thinking that Ye Qiuling was about to go crazy again. But then she saw Ye Qiuling tilt her head, her beautiful fox-like eyes widening into round almond-shaped eyes, her expression completely innocent. Her eyebrows drooped slightly, showing weakness, and she looked up at Xia Shizhao's reaction, her tone pitiful and slightly coquettish:
"Zhaozhao, please... don't tell anyone, okay? I'll do anything you want."
Looking at Ye Qiuling leaning closer, Xia Shizhao pursed his lips: ...
She remained silent, then reached out and pressed her hand against Ye Qiuling's face, pushing her away. Her tone was extremely calm as she said:
"I won't do anything to you, just stay away from me."
Ye Qiuling nodded, stood up straight obediently, and looked at her innocently with her big, watery eyes, appearing completely harmless.
What's going on with you?
Xia Shizhao's gaze couldn't help but fall on Ye Qiuling's head, and then he couldn't help but look at her buttocks. Hmm, no tail.
Ye Qiuling, seemingly unaware of her gaze, stood to the side and honestly replied, "I don't know either."
She wasn't biased; she genuinely didn't know, and she was also puzzled at first.
However, there are advantages to this. She doesn't dislike it. Under Xia Shizhao's strange gaze, a sly and triumphant expression appeared on her face.
Xia Shizhao felt a chill run down his spine watching her; she seemed like a cat that had just eaten a delicious meal.
Suddenly, Ye Qiuling said, "Do you know why? Or do you want to see what's going on?"
Xia Shizhao shook his head, "Since you've already told Fu Ziran, I won't investigate further."
"Why don't you come and take a look? Sometimes she can't manage all the work by herself."
Ye Qiuling narrowed her eyes slightly, like a deceitful big bad wolf, "You can touch it and see."
After speaking, she bowed slightly and brought her head close to Xia Shizhao's face.
"..."
Xia Shizhao pondered for a moment, then looked at the bouncy ears again. After thinking for a while, he decisively refused under Ye Qiuling's expectant gaze, like an experimental maniac, cold and ruthless: "Let me draw a vial of blood to study it. Then I'll go back and look through the books left by my elders to see if I can find out what's going on with you."
Taking two steps back and sitting down in the chair, Ye Qiuling seemed a little disappointed, nodding sullenly: "Hmm."
Xia Shizhao quickly took out a clean syringe from the compression ring, walked over to Ye Qiuling, drew a vial of blood, and put the things away. "Get some rest, I won't disturb you any longer."
Ye Qiuling stared resentfully at Xia Shizhao's decisive departing figure and sighed helplessly.
Back in his room, Xia Shizhao lay on his bed and quickly searched for information again.
She was shocked to find out what she was looking for. Historically, alphas with 3S mental strength don't live long, at most reaching 50 years old, and you might only encounter a few every few decades. So, unfortunately, she couldn't find a single relevant piece of information after searching for a long time.
Xia Shizhao could only pin his hopes on the old bookshelf at home.
She kicked her leg behind her and slammed it into the wall next to her. She curled up and hugged her leg, howling. But this aggravated the wound she had just gotten from the fight, and she grimaced and twisted like a maggot on the bed.
After the airship arrived home, Xia Shizhao immediately rushed to his laboratory, put Ye Qiuling's blood into the testing instrument, and then began to flip through the pharmacology books he had bought back at a high price.
An hour later, the blood data analysis came back, and everything was normal.
As the sun rose in the morning, Xia Shizhao took a nap on the small bed next to the bed, only waking up in the afternoon when he got hungry.
I ordered takeout and then picked up the book I hadn't finished reading and continued reading after I finished eating.
Xia Shizhao stroked her chin, took her things, and went to her mother's house. The laboratory there was well-equipped, especially with a lot of books. She would treat these three months as a period of seclusion for spiritual cultivation.
Without further ado, they drove back to the resort.
The house was pitch black.
Nobody here?
Xia Shizhao sent a message to her mother, "Aren't you home?"
"I'm in the lab."
Mu Tong sent a message, and Xia Shizhao immediately went over to see his mother making medicine.
Transparent bottles and jars could be seen everywhere in the laboratory. The clear, clean liquid was incredibly expensive. At this moment, Mu Tong did not have the refined appearance she had seen at first. Her hair was slightly messy, she was wearing protective clothing, and she was carefully holding a dropper in her hand.
Xia Shizhao was standing at the door when he heard his mother let out a sharp, explosive scream: "Ah! Damn it! It failed again!!!"
Yu Shu stayed by her side, comforting her and telling her to calm down, explaining that this medicine was not simple to begin with.
Xia Shizhao gently knocked on the door and waved, "Hi, Mom."
Mu Tong turned to look at Xia Shizhao, his eyes were dark and he had a kind of calm madness: "Where did you find those materials?"
"Um……"
Xia Shizhao stammered.
"Many experiments can only be conducted on human subjects to obtain results. The data is complete, but it is difficult to make them perfect and adjustments are still needed."
Mu Tong pointed to the rather murky potions, "Those are the worst batch of D-grade. After I made some adjustments, C-grade is barely acceptable. In the past two days, almost all of the C-grade and above have been failures."
Xia Shizhao walked to her side, picked up the potion, looked at it for a while, and pondered, "Does this mean that to make a more perfect potion, we need to conduct experiments on people?"
"Yes," Mu Tong nodded seriously, his tone earnest with a hint of warning, "That's it for this potion. You're not allowed to touch it again."
Xia Shizhao chuckled, "Of course, I would never experiment on people, don't worry."
I won't do it, but Fu Ziran can.
Xia Shizhao thought to himself.
"That's fine. Interstellar people are very superstitious about this. Don't tell anyone else, lest someone with ill intentions approaches you."
Mu Tong patted Xia Shizhao's head, yawned, stretched, and wrapped her arms around Yu Shu's neck, indicating that she should take her back to sleep.
