"I was thinking about the worst-case scenario. I would only do that if we couldn't handle it, or if someone wanted to hurt you. I wouldn't normally use space to kill people, and I'm afraid of the backlash." Song Tantan made excuses for his restless thoughts.
"That's for the best. Don't always think about experimenting. Human lives shouldn't be used for experiments." Song Zhuiyan's eyes were filled with warning.
Song Tantan felt a little guilty. She did want to see how people would react if she captured them into her space, because capturing wild beasts into her space never ended well. The living creatures she captured in her hometown died immediately, and those captured in the supermarket were frozen in time and became dumbfounded when released.
The damage was too great, so she never dared to take people into her space. But now that she had encountered a shady shop, she was tempted to do so. However, as soon as she showed any interest, her aunt saw through her and strictly forbade her from doing so.
Ye Moxun also had a disapproving expression, and his eyes even carried a hint of accusation.
"I know, I won't have that thought again. I was wrong. Please stop looking at me with those accusing eyes. I'll never do it again." Song Tantan raised her hands in surrender.
"Ah Xun, if things get really tough when the fight breaks out, poison them all. Don't let any of them get away, so they won't harm people again in the future," Song Tantan urged again.
Did she really need to remind me?
"Song Tantan, you're a girl, so stop talking about killing all the time. Be more mindful of your image."
This child has entered her rebellious phase, her second rebellion. Back when she was a teenager before she transmigrated, she was quite rebellious, and Song Zhuiyan spent a lot of time and effort educating her to prevent her from going astray.
Look how sensible Ye Moxun is. He was reincarnated and has memories of his previous life, so he has always been very steady and never rebellious, making him very easy to take care of.
Song Tantan: That's because he used up all the rebelliousness from his two previous lives in one go. In his previous life, he was a school bully. He was either fighting or on the road to fighting every day. Bungee jumping, car racing, horse racing... what hasn't he done?
And how is she rebellious? She just wants to punish evil and promote good, and do good deeds.
"Those people downstairs are already eating; they probably haven't noticed anything wrong with this restaurant." But it's alright, Ah Xun has the antidote. However, after saving them, could I ask them for some reward?
Song Tantan rested her chin on her hands, her eyes darting around as she thought about all sorts of things.
At this moment, Song Zhuiyan lay on the bed in a very Zen-like manner, sleeping soundly under a thin blanket, as if they were not staying at a shady inn but at home. She used to say that Song Tantan was carefree, but in fact, she was just as carefree.
It was July, the hottest month of the year, and the room was very stuffy. Song Tantan opened the window, and there was a kerosene lamp on the table. She and Ye Moxun sat cross-legged in a corner of the blind spot, eating ice cream absentmindedly.
Song Tantan stared blankly at the door, occasionally scooping up a spoonful of ice cream. Ye Moxun leaned against the wall, idly poking at the ice cream in his hand with his spoon, glancing at Song Tantan every now and then.
"By the way, how do you manage to tell that someone is a woman dressed as a man just by looking down from the second floor? Is it because you're so experienced?" This time, Song Tantan and Song Zhuiyan dressed as men again, saying that it was inconvenient for women to go out, so it was more comfortable to dress as men.
"Otherwise what?" Song Tantan looked over and stared at his face, saying, "Also, those two are too pretty, even prettier than you. Their features are delicate and soft, too feminine, and too weak in masculinity. They're not as dashing as me." Song Tantan smugly flicked her ponytail.
"Are you praising my masculinity?" Ye Moxun asked tentatively.
Song Tantan paused in her eating and looked at him again, "You're not effeminate; it's obvious you're not a woman."
Ye Moxun was not satisfied with this answer. He closed his eyes, not wanting to talk to her anymore. It was not a good time to talk anymore, as the shopkeeper was probably about to take action.
Meanwhile, the group that entered the inn later had already gone to the rooms arranged by the innkeeper. They were quite far from Song Tantan and the others' rooms, one to the east and one to the west. The innkeeper thought that this way they wouldn't notice anything unusual.
At that moment, a figure nimbly darted into the room through the window. The person immediately knelt on one knee, bowing respectfully, and reported, "Miss, we've checked. Besides us, there are three other people in the entire inn. They appear to be asleep."
"I understand. Go out first, don't alert them. See what the innkeeper is up to. As for the other three guests, we'll see how things go. If we can help them, then we can only blame their bad luck."
The woman, known as the young lady, dressed in men's clothing. Her voice was as beautiful as a nightingale's, so beautiful it could make your ears pregnant, and her appearance was stunning.
Song Tantan used to think that Zhang Qingyu was beautiful enough to be considered stunning, but this young lady is even more beautiful than Zhang Qingyu, and the second young lady is also breathtakingly beautiful. What kind of parents gave birth to these children?
Of course, that's a story for later. Right now, Song Tantan hasn't really seen the two young ladies' faces clearly yet. She only glanced at them from afar and thought they were exceptionally beautiful, but she didn't really have a concept of just how beautiful they were.
Around 1 AM, Song Tantan and the other two were in their room listening to the sounds of fighting outside, ready to fight at any moment, but after waiting for a long time, the shopkeeper and his accomplices did not come in.
Was it because the outsiders were too helpful, or because the three of them seemed too harmless, so they were overlooked?
However, none of the three intended to go out and help. They remained calmly seated in the room, waiting to appear when someone called for help.
But still no one called for help. The fighting grew more and more intense, but no one called for help. Song Tantan and Ye Moxun felt that they were invisible. Did they think that they were incapable of saving people or something else? Did they look down on them?
Fifteen minutes later, Song Tantan felt that it was not good to remain uninvolved and had to go and see what was going on. If the second wave of guests was no match for the innkeepers, he had to lend a hand and not just sit and watch them get killed.
"What's the rush? If they can't win, they'll naturally cry for help. Since they're not crying for help, it means they don't want anyone to save them. That's their own problem." Ye Moxun's words made sense.
But Song Tantan couldn't be as indifferent as him. He had a bunch of fallacies about not being willing to help until someone cried for help. To put it bluntly, he was just cold-blooded.
"You stay here and protect your aunt and the baby. Go out and take a look."
She also knew that her aunt was the key person to be protected, so why was she so relieved to leave him alone to guard her? After saying that, she had already rushed out.
“Tantan is a kind-hearted person. Don’t look down on her for being a busybody. If you make her watch others fight the enemy while she does nothing, she’ll feel guilty,” Song Zhuiyan explained with a light laugh.
"I know, Aunt, there's no need to worry." Ye Moxun's expression was gentle, without the slightest hint of dissatisfaction. He naturally understood her; he knew all her strengths and weaknesses perfectly well.
There was no question of dislike; he was willing to be tolerant, just as she was willing to be tolerant of him.
