"It was my fault," he whispered.
"No, I'm really fine."
The man touched her cheek, with a deep look in his eyes, "From now on, I'd better not go out."
Pei Xiqing asked back, "Are you out?"
"yes."
"Is it related to the crystal core?"
He didn't say anything.
"Is it?" she asked.
"Yes." Duan Xiaolin did not hide it anymore.
Pei Xiqing gently pushed him away. "Crystal core, I won't say anything no matter how many you take. It's really a good thing, and I think it's a good thing to give it all to you. But I told you a long time ago that the more precious and rare something is, the more dangerous it is."
She looked at Duan Xiaolin and said sincerely, "You either take these crystal cores or destroy them. If you keep them around, you'll probably become a target of public criticism and cause unnecessary trouble. Also... I can't bear to see you risk your life in such a huge danger."
Duan Xiaolin put his arm around her waist and said, "A few crystal cores, it's not that difficult. I'll just go out and search for information about parasites."
Pei Xiqing couldn't help but punch him: "You'd better not lie to me, what did you get?"
"Something...about the parasite's weaknesses?"
The man chuckled.
"Those parasite eggs are disgusting."
"The parasite's reproductive methods have always been shady."
"Why don't you go find Qiu Chao?"
"I'll be right over."
Seeing that he was really leaving.
Pei Xiqing grabbed his hand again.
"Brother Duan."
"Um?"
"About the crystal core, you..." Her voice was a little low and unstable.
"I won't put myself in danger. Whether I can find the crystal core depends on luck, and whether I can get it depends on my luck."
She took a deep breath and said, "Don't lie to me. If you lie to me, I will be really angry."
The crystal core was something she had wanted to get before.
But he was not as impatient as Xiao Yue to put the crystal core on himself to make himself stronger. Instead, he had other intentions... She was not afraid of anything, but only afraid that the rules of this world would one day bring punishment to Duan Xiaolin.
It would be better to let him take all the crystal cores and become the new protagonist in the world rules.
She immediately said, "Crystal Core, you have to."
"Otherwise, I don't trust you to do this."
She turned to look at Duan Xiaolin and tugged at his sleeve, "Right now."
She didn't know what he was secretly planning, but she couldn't keep those crystal cores. She had to make Duan Xiaolin the next protagonist before the next plot point came.
The man was tall and broad, with a calm and gentle face, and his thin silver-rimmed glasses reflected a cold light.
Pei Xiqing was petite and gentle in front of him. Her obstruction was not particularly intimidating, but it made him stand still and not move for a long time.
Seeing that the man was unmoved, she couldn't help but urge: "Brother Duan?"
Duan Xiaolin curled his lips slightly and held her hand: "The crystal core can only be yours."
Pei Xiqing didn't admit it: "Why? That doesn't make sense."
She lost everything, but it didn't change anything, it was just a waste.
Because this crystal core is of no use to her at all.
There is no effect change.
From the first time Duan Xiaolin brought the crystal core he dug out from Liu Dongshu back to her, she felt it at that moment.
The crystal core is worth less than scrap metal to her.
But at that time, Liu Dongshu's body could bring him the advancement of supernatural powers.
It is said that this thing can be picked up, but not everyone can pick it up.
She had long been excluded from these protagonist opportunities.
"Given your current physical condition, only the crystal core can stabilize it."
Pei Xiqing was stunned for a moment, "You finally took the initiative to tell me, I thought you would keep it a secret from me."
