The swarms of huge monsters finally dissipated.
The land revealed its original appearance - a barren sandy land like Mars.
The sand is just darker in color and less interesting. There aren't many resources underneath, at least not very useful to humans. If it wasn't a suitable place to stay, it might not be popular with foreigners.
The supernatural power that Xu Qingran burst out this time was far beyond what he used to deal with the group of minions around Mu Ziyue in Tower 1.
The internal trauma caused by this forced him to spend a longer time to recover. The white dog sensed his internal injuries through its keen perception and moved around him restlessly, seemingly very puzzled by this change.
Xu Qingran comforted him: "It's just a minor injury, I'm fine."
"It will be all right soon."
The system has now turned into a grumpy pendant.
Every time Xu Qingran said something, it would retort: "Oh no, the machine can't recover as fast as you can when it's injured."
Xu Qingran ignored it.
After a short rest, the annoying buzzing in my head finally stopped and my vision became clear again. But my heartbeat was still a little fast and my internal organs were aching from overexerting themselves.
After several breaths, it slowed down slightly.
Xu Qingran tried to take a step forward.
A little uncomfortable, but much better than at the beginning.
The white dog came around in front of him again when he was about to walk towards the base.
With a cold look, it gestured to its back, asking him to lie on it, and it would be responsible for taking him to the base.
Xu Qingran did not refuse.
I'm about to meet the dog man. An E-type has been trapped in this place for so many days, and his condition must not be very good. For the time being, I can't let Shen Tingyu find out about his physical problems. Saving some energy should help him feel better.
In order not to hurt Xu Qingran on its back, the white dog slowed down its pace and did not run across the row as usual.
One man and one dog soon arrived in front of the dark gray base.
Behind me, the thunderclouds had not yet dispersed, and lightning and thunder were still rolling among the clouds.
Just like a wild beast that is accidentally provoked, its anger will not subside for a while.
Xu Qingran regained some spirit.
As if nothing had happened, he got off the white dog and said in an unusually calm and patient tone: "Thank you."
The white dog flicked its tail.
You're welcome.
The entrance to the base is upstairs.
The stairs were built with iron plates layer by layer. Xu Qingran went up step by step, looking around at the same time.
It's very quiet around.
In addition to some corpses of foreign races, human bodies can also be seen. However, judging from the way these people died, they were obviously killed by foreign races, and they have been dead for some time.
Probably it has nothing to do with Shen Tingyu.
As for foreigners.
In addition to the original ones, the new ones were all the demons he had just killed. They were very persistent in this place, and surrounded a large group of them, mainly Type I.
Xu Qingran came to the entrance, grabbed the door handle and pressed it down.
As expected, it was locked from the inside and couldn't be opened.
The ID scanner at the door had stopped working since the power went out.
He wanted to call for help, but just as he opened his mouth, a fishy taste suddenly surged up his throat.
He frowned and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The system is screaming again.
Xu Qingran was in a pretty good mood and even felt it was very normal.
After vomiting, he stroked his uncomfortable chest, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then took out the mineral water he had in his pocket to rinse his mouth.
Destroy evidence.
"Xu Qingran! I'm warning you, if I can return your supernatural power to you, I can take it back!"
Although this is against the rules of the Administration, the system thought.
But he continued to threaten: "If you do this again, I will take away your supernatural power!"
To be honest, Xu Qingran's making such a big move was beyond its expectations. God knows that when he used his supernatural powers on a large scale, it was ready to fail the mission and collect the body of its host!
Xu Qingran twisted the water bottle again, not paying much attention to the warning: "Okay, take it away, I probably won't live long."
The system was silent for a while.
It's rare to be tough: "If we perish together, then we perish together!"
"Even if I keep my supernatural powers, you'll kill yourself sooner or later. By then, I won't be able to complete my mission and I'll still be dead!"
"If it's destroyed, it's destroyed! You'd better remember, it's all your fault!"
Xu Qingran paused as he was about to kick the door.
This is the first time the system has said something like this. It is not even afraid of being destroyed if the mission fails. It seems like it is really angry.
He slowed down his tone and said, "I understand."
"Isn't this because you are eager to save people? I promise you, I won't use it recklessly next time."
The system hums.
He began to rebuke Shen Tingyu: "How could you almost kill yourself when your target is so powerful?"
If it can be successfully converted to a regular employee, it will definitely go back and talk to the management bureau.
What era is this? Still talking about relationship strategies? Look at its cool and domineering host, he’s almost falling in love!
Xu Qingran did not agree with its complaints.
He took a deep breath, raised his foot with a cold face, and used his mental strength and supernatural powers to kick the metal door open.
The gates of the defensive base buildings are very strong.
Even though Xu Qingran kicked the door so hard that the lock loosened, the whole door did not fall down and was still firmly connected to the bolt.
Xu Qingran went in with Bai Quan and closed the door again.
With a flashlight, he started looking for someone.
Shen Tingyu's breath was very weak.
He was so weak that he could only confirm that there were traces of him staying here after entering, but he was not sure how far he was. He was also worried that there was an ambush inside, so it was not convenient to shout loudly, so he could only explore it himself first.
Normally, Type E has a strong presence.
Even if he was alone, the aura of his spiritual power would be so strong that it was hard to ignore, and he would also warn other spiritualists not to approach without permission. In this situation, if Shen Tingyu was really in this building, the only possibility that could cause this situation to happen was a lack of spiritual power.
The E-type spiritual pool is indeed deeper than that of all classes of psychics.
But no matter how deep it is, it will eventually run out. Especially for Type E, the recovery speed of their psychic power is slower than that of ordinary psychics, and the MT agent has almost no effect on them. In a highly dangerous environment where they need to fight continuously to save their lives, fighting alone will really be a disadvantage.
The base is divided into one floor above ground and three floors underground.
After Xu Qingran finished his tour of the first floor and didn't find anyone, he started to go to the underground floor. There were also some devil corpses inside the base. In it, he also saw yellow and black X-type, and the fallen fragments filled the entire space.
Judging from the extent of the damage to the surrounding objects, it is not difficult to guess that this place has experienced a fierce battle.
The base doesn't have many floors, but it's quite large.
Xu Qingran originally thought that it would take him a long time to find Shen Tingyu, but he found him in one of the computer rooms just one floor down.
The room was dark.
It was not until the flashlight was illuminated that I could see the situation inside clearly.
Shen Tingyu sat on the ground with his back against one of the iron cabinets.
His head was slightly lowered, his eyes, which were always energetic, were dim, his face was a little pale, and his expression was quite calm. He had a lot of wounds on his body, and in his hand he was holding a struggling IV demon. It was obvious that he no longer had enough mental strength to destroy it.
Xu Qingran held the flashlight and stood there, staring at him.
Shen Tingyu lowered his eyelids slightly, staring at the blue-black thing in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.
Only when he noticed the movement did he slightly raise his head and look in the direction where the footsteps came from. With the light of the other party's flashlight shining into the space, he could see the appearance of the person coming.
The next second, he curved his eyes.
She didn't say anything, nor was she surprised or surprised by the other person's appearance. She just looked at him quietly.
Like silently saying—
You came.
Xu Qingran tightened his other hand, which was hanging by his side.
He really hated this kind of look, which sounded like someone was preparing to make his last words.
The last time he saw them, the owner of those eyes gave him his special powers.
I told him: "Let it continue to protect you for me from now on."
Xu Qingran thought about it and took a few steps forward.
He stepped over Shen Tingyu's long legs that were enough to block the entire road, bent down and grabbed the small IV that he was holding. He rubbed his fingers gently a few times, and the power of lightning followed the spiritual breath into the little guy's body, directly blowing up the source energy in his body.
A dull mass of blue fell to the ground with a plop.
Xu Qingran stared at the pile of debris with a cold look.
In the silence, you can still hear the sound of banging coming from the manhole cover not far away.
Under the manhole cover was a red Type I, the mother. It condensed its body into a fist shape and was ramming the cover again and again, eager to enter this space.
The screws around the lid showed signs of loosening after being hit by it. Xu Qingran looked down for a few times and slowly took out his gun.
He aimed at the gap between the manhole covers and fired directly without even probing for the source crystal.
The beam of mental power hit the Type I devil that was trying to break into the computer room.
There is no need to aim deliberately, the lightning power wrapped around it will actively find the source crystal in its body and shatter it directly.
This is why demons are afraid of electricity.
The source crystals in their bodies were very strong, so strong that it took several attacks from ordinary psychics to break them. But they were also very fragile, so fragile that even a weak electric current could actively find the source crystals in their bodies and cause huge damage.
Xu Qingran silently resolved all the threats around him.
The dark environment became quiet again. The white dog felt that the space in the computer room was too small, so after making sure that there was nothing serious around him, he stood outside to guard.
Only then did Xu Qingran return to Shen Tingyu.
Perhaps it was because of seeing him appear that her tense body finally relaxed a little, but he closed his eyes when he turned around.
But when Xu Qingran squatted down and grabbed his wrist, he slowly opened his eyes.
Xu Qingran said mercilessly: "You look really embarrassed."
The voice was cold and desolate.
Shen Tingyu paused for a moment and finally spoke.
The voice sounded quite energetic, and he jokingly said: "Yeah, luckily it was you who saw it, otherwise it would have damaged my image."
When Xu Qingran caught Shen Tingyu, he took the opportunity to complete his investigation of his mental power.
It was basically confirmed that his current weakness was caused by excessive consumption of his spiritual pool. The spiritual power in his spiritual pool was almost dry. Every breath and every heartbeat of a spiritualist would continue to consume spiritual power, and his E-type recovery speed was several times slower than others. If the spiritual pool was over-depleted, it would easily lead to a life crisis.
The most serious wound on Shen Tingyu's body was still bleeding.
Flowed all over the floor.
Without mental strength, not only will survival be affected, but even the healing of injuries will be slowed down.
To be more serious.
If Xu Qingran had been a few hours later, he might have really had to collect Shen Tingyu's body.
Xu Qingran had an unpleasant expression.
Grabbing his wrist, he began to transfer his spiritual power to him, and asked in a cold tone: "How old are you this year?"
"Don't you have a good grasp of your own spiritual power? Don't you have any idea when to rest and take a break?"
For most psychics, that line is probably set at around 10%.
When the mental reserve is only about 10%, it means that they must stop the work that requires continuous consumption of mental energy and let the mental pool recover first. For E-type, it is recommended to be around 20%, unless they have a humanoid like Xu Qingran to provide them with supplies.
Once the consumption exceeds the warning line, the recovery speed may not keep up with the daily consumption required by the body.
This will cause the spiritual pool to be depleted and dry up, and when there is not a drop left, it will begin to consume the spiritualist's vitality. When the vitality is exhausted, the person will die.
Shen Tingyu looked helpless: "I want to, too."
"But these demons won't give me room to rest, and there's nothing I can do about it."
Xu Qingran asked again: "Where are your men?"
"They're all dead." Shen Tingyu replied, "I killed them."
Shen Tingyu has been here with the army for more than ten days.
A lot of things happened.
First of all, he was tricked by Mu Ziyue again.
Not long after he boarded the starship, he was taken away from command by several senior officers with more experience. This was nothing, he never cared much about power, and he was capable, so he was not afraid of having to fight on the front line.
Besides, his original purpose was to try to find a way to destroy that super high-level devil.
If that doesn't work, delaying their actions will work.
In fact, the situation at Defense Station 60 was not so serious when the troops first arrived.
The large army of demons was still gathering at the station 70 light years away that they had just taken. Because of the Empire's advance prediction and preparation, the army occupied the base before the demons. There were only some demons sent to explore and mark the way, as well as foreigners who were not afraid of power.
Therefore, the army took advantage of the large numbers of people to start repairing the damaged power stations.
The main area of responsibility of Shen Tingyu and his army was in that backlit area. As expected, the target of the demon group was still him, but because the group was still small, even if most of them approached him, it was not a big problem.
The restoration is progressing smoothly.
Good news also came frequently from other bases.
Perhaps because of this, some soldiers and guards became lax and their mentality became a little unstable.
—Then you will have the mentality to stir up trouble.
Although most of the list of people going into battle from the Golden Wing Camp was decided by Shen Tingyu.
But most of these people are Mu Ziyue's people. It's better to say that he deliberately picked them, after all, there are some grudges in the previous life.
What was more surprising was that there was also a small group of people from Silver Dragon who were targeting him.
He was assigned to work under him, but he deliberately did not cooperate with the orders of the Golden Wing General, and even made a stupid decision - in order to affect his mission performance and allow the Silver Dragon to seize the opportunity to discredit him, a general who was sought after by the people of the empire, they chose to cause trouble in the area he was in charge of.
While he was busy leading the team to direct the cleanup operation near the power station, they took the initiative to cause damage to the base.
They also deliberately attracted foreign tribes to destroy several of their power stations that were about to be repaired, making all their previous efforts go to waste and forcing them to start all over again. They thought the mission was too simple and the environment around the station was too peaceful.
I thought, such a big planet.
It will only destroy the few bases and small stations that Shen Tingyu is in charge of, which will not affect the overall situation.
Little did they know that the damage to several defense stations in the backlit area just happened to become a breakthrough point for the demon group.
Their bodies were originally well hidden in the universe, and they seemed calm, but in fact they had been watching around the 60th main station for a long time. In particular, the backlit area had the "target" they wanted to find, which became the focus of observation.
Just like that, it was out of control.
High-level demons invaded in droves, especially X-type demons, a number that no one had ever seen in the empire. The military was soon unable to resist the demons' attacks, and even paved the way for their "king" to descend.
Its destructive power is several times that of a high-level devil.
The starships that stayed in the planet's airspace were defenseless and were directly blown into fireworks by its mental bombs. All fighters and mechas had no chance to get close. Even if they wanted to blow it up with bombs, they still had to face the new demons that kept pouring out of its body.
In the blink of an eye, the entire main station began to fall.
The base's communications were disrupted one after another.
Originally, Shen Tingyu had a relatively hidden site at the foot of a rocky mountain.
Not only can it serve as a good garrison, it is also equipped with a communication system that can directly contact the empire. As long as they defend that place, they can communicate well with the empire and get in touch with reinforcements.
As a result, when Shen Tingyu went there, he found that the communication equipment there had been destroyed by someone.
It was the Silver Dragon who secretly sent a group of soldiers to mess with him. They had only thought of randomly destroying a few bases to cause him trouble, but they didn't expect that the communications they destroyed were the few communications in their area that could be used to contact the empire.
Shen Tingyu's temper exploded at this time.
He knew who were the people who wanted to get him, and he chose to kill these guys who had no military consciousness, were not only of no help but also a hindrance.
After hearing this, Xu Qingran roughly understood the situation.
Ask him: "Do you know who instigated those Silver Dragon Guards?"
Shen Tingyu said: "Mu Ningluo."
"She is from the Silver Dragon side and has always believed that I am the biggest obstacle to their taking power. Whenever there is a mission for the two camps to cooperate, she always finds ways to find someone to cause trouble for me."
Xu Qingran was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Shen Tingyu raised his eyebrows: "I haven't been on a mission with the Silver Dragons for a long time, so I didn't think about this for a while."
Xu Qingran: "It doesn't matter. It's not too late to know now."
He did not continue the topic and asked again: "When I came here, I met a few guards you had brought with you but who were not killed by you."
"They said you were crazy, and you even killed your own Golden Wing soldiers?"
Shen Tingyu laughed a few times when he heard this.
This is quite a long story.
"Mu Ziyue's people."
Shen Tingyu said it mercilessly, even though some of those people may have worked with him for several years: "They are a group of people who found out that the main target of the devil group is me, and they want to push me out."
If it weren't for Mu Ziyue and these people back then—
"The target is you, what do you mean?"
Xu Qingran's calm questioning tone interrupted Shen Tingyu's thoughts.
Before he could reply, Xu Qingran said, "You know what? I found some interesting things after you left Nanzhou."
"I remember when we passed by the residential area in West City one night, those Class IVs were like crazy, ramming into our car out of control."
"At that time, we were still discussing West City's IV Devil's True Courage."
Shen Tingyu remained silent.
Then Xu Qingran continued, "But it's amazing. Later, when I went there again alone, I found that they were no longer crazy. Just like in other urban areas, they would hide when they saw a car and were as timid as before."
"Isn't it interesting?"
Shen Tingyu raised his eyes and met Xu Qingran's beautiful smiling eyes.
He nodded calmly: "It is indeed quite interesting."
Just as he finished speaking, the force holding his wrist suddenly increased.
It still hurts quite a bit.
Shen Tingyu stared at Xu Qingran, who had a sullen expression, with a smile in his eyes.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to say it.
Mainly, there seems to be too much to say.
At least he couldn't speak at this moment, otherwise he was worried that he would lose consciousness before he could finish explaining.
At the same time, Xu Qingran, who was transferring mental power to Shen Tingyu, also discovered something was wrong.
He was clearly transmitting to Shen Tingyu, so why was his spiritual pool not filled at all when he checked it again? Even the original spiritual power reserve was less than when he came.
Shen Tingyu admired it for a while, and saw Xu Qingran looking worried for him.
Before she lost consciousness completely, she managed to hold on and said to him, "It's useless, Xu Qingran."
Xu Qingran glanced at him coldly.
If he said something so unlucky again, he would be beaten to death before he died from the self-consumption of his spirit pool.
Shen Tingyu smiled: "Don't be nervous, that's not what I meant."
"I mean, with your current transmission speed, you won't be able to replenish my spirit pool in time."
Type E is always worse than others in every situation.
For example, if the mental pool is too depleted, even after exceeding that line, the speed of continuous consumption will increase significantly, nearly double the normal amount. Therefore, they are not like ordinary psychics, who can solve the problem by simply replenishing MT agents or D-type supplies.
For Shen Tingyu, who is on the verge of death, Xu Qingran's current natural transmission is definitely not enough.
He needed more.
Xu Qingran asked him: "Then how can I give you more?"
Shen Tingyu looked into his eyes calmly and replied: "Conclude a permanent soul contract with me."
"It's the kind that only happens once in a lifetime."
Xu Qingran was slightly stunned.
I always feel that this is similar to the request of "Marry me", which comes very suddenly.
Changing a soul contract from temporary to permanent is roughly equivalent to upgrading a romantic relationship to a marriage.
For Type E, this is a crucial decision.
Not like a Type D, and not like a normal psychic.
The E-type spiritual soul allows them to have only one permanent soul mate in their lifetime. Even if the relationship breaks down and the other party chooses to divorce and terminate the soul contract, their souls will become unilateral and continue to maintain contact with the other party.
I can only watch the other person find a new love.
Seeing each other have a new object of concern, they will always be connected. Even if the other party dies, the connection of the contract will not disappear. They must always bear the pain of losing their partner and spend the rest of their lives immersed in sadness.
Therefore, Type E must be extremely cautious in choosing a permanent partner.
If you are not careful, you will be doomed.
Shen Tingyu found a legitimate reason: "If the temporary contract does not allow you to provide me with enough spiritual power to make up for my current loss, then only a permanent contract can do it."
There was such a moment.
Xu Qingran suspected that it was all Shen Tingyu's setup from the beginning to the end, deliberately putting him in a desperate situation, and it was natural for him to make this request to him.
—What can I do
Even if Shen Tingyu was really so despicable, Xu Qingran would not just sit there and do nothing.
"Okay." Xu Qingran responded straightforwardly.
"How do we make a permanent contract?" He recalled the last time they made a temporary contract and asked, "Do I need you to fuck me?"
Anyway, referring to the background setting of ABO, it seems that they have to do it this way when they do branding
Xu Qingran simply went too far.
He had even started taking off his coat.
Shen Tingyu took some effort to stop him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "What are you thinking about?"
"unnecessary."
She slowly took back the hand he had just grasped, climbed up to the back of his hand, and rubbed it a few times with her fingertips before saying, "As long as there is a spiritual seal, it will be fine."
Shen Tingyu did not miss the regret that flashed across Xu Qingran's eyes when he heard the answer.
I couldn't help but laugh, it was a gentle laugh.
Xu Qingran took off his gloves and handed him his left hand with the spiritual seal: "Hurry up."
"If you die, I will kill my way through the underworld to rescue you." Shen Tingyu smiled.
The mental strength supporting him in his brain was getting less and less, and his thoughts were gradually becoming slow. He was just worried that he would instinctively demand without restraint from the person in front of him.
He touched the mark carefully.
After stroking him gently for a few times, he watched Xu Qingran gradually soften from his initial arrogant attitude. Soon, a few seductive blushes appeared at the corners of his eyes, and a layer of arousing mist gradually appeared in his eyes.
However, he was still conscious.
Shen Tingyu heard his own calm voice and asked politely: "It may be a little painful, can you bear it?"
It carried an aggressive aura, but had already begun to wreak havoc on the spiritual seal on the back of Xu Qingran's hand.
Xu Qingran's scalp went numb from his touch, and his tailbone started to go weak.
The voice was still as cold as always: "Stop talking nonsense and get to work."
As soon as he finished speaking, his hand was pulled forward by someone.
The next second, the spiritual seal on the back of the hand was pressed against the other person's warm and cool lips.
He watched Shen Tingyu kissing his spiritual seal.
The light in the azure eyes dimmed, and rationality was gradually replaced by instinct.
Xu Qingran never thought that just a simple touch of the spiritual seal could make him feel as if his head was exploding.
He thought, how long has it been since Shen Tingyu has touched his spiritual seal so directly
Shen Tingyu has always been a very gentlemanly man.
Even if they were kissing and hugging each other passionately, they would at most touch the location of his mark through their gloves, and would never take off his gloves before he took the initiative to give it to them, and force further aggression on him.
As a time traveler, Xu Qingran has always been a little slow to understand the existence of spiritual seals.
If Shen Tingyu hadn't said anything, he wouldn't have thought about it much, and most of the time he hadn't thought about whether to take off the gloves. Until today, when he was touched directly like this, he suddenly realized that the spiritual seal had become more sensitive to Shen Tingyu's direct contact.
It has reached the point where I would lose my composure if he kissed me.
The system explained quietly: "The popularity has increased, this is what happened."
"It's just like when you see someone you like, it's easy to lose control."
While I was in a daze, I suddenly felt a sharp pain on the back of my hand.
Looking further ahead, he saw that Shen Tingyu had actually broken his mark through kissing and biting.
Watching the man who was always self-disciplined and polite show his unruly and cruel side.
It was as if she wanted to brand his most private part with a mark that belonged only to him, to mark the person he loved as her exclusive partner, and to prevent others from coveting her. By exchanging blood and signing some kind of sacred contract, she finally branded a bright red mark on the back of his hand.
I heard that a soul seal that has made a contract with another soul will change.
The color will become darker and there will be a little more red on it. So that's how it happens.
Xu Qingran thought that the previous temporary conclusion process was so exciting, and he would need to endure the same "torture" again this time.
But this is just the conclusion process of Shen Tingyu.
He did not continue to release his soul energy into his body.
There was no pleasant feeling as if the soul was invaded by some strange force, but the relationship that was originally a little vague suddenly became solid at this moment.
After the contract was perfectly concluded, Shen Tingyu instinctively started with the spirit seal, asking for the spiritual power he desperately desired and needed. The spirit seal that was connected to his soul responded to his needs, and the spiritual power poured into his body like a spring, replenishing his spiritual pool.
Xu Qingran sat in front of him, eyes slightly red, watching his beautiful blue eyes slowly regain their spirit and be filled with the faint glow of spiritual power.
I felt a little relieved.
Until Shen Tingyu temporarily left the back of his hand.
Xu Qingran confirmed that his eyes gradually regained clarity and restraint, and asked him: "Is this considered good?"
Shen Tingyu lowered his eyes and glanced at the new masterpiece he had just created, and said in a hoarse voice: "I guess so."
If you ask whether a permanent contractual relationship of the soul has been successfully concluded, the answer is yes.
Although only Shen Tingyu was the one who did it, his own spiritual seal should have changed in the exchange of power, and the two of them were nominally partners. However, according to the real process, a certain bed exercise needed to be performed in order to make the sensitive and easily uneasy E-type completely settled down.
Otherwise, you will always feel uncomfortable.
Shen Tingyu took the initiative to refuse this matter.
So he didn't plan to tell Xu Qingran the truth.
Anyway, apart from this, everything else is great.
Shen Tingyu grabbed Xu Qingran's hand and looked at his spiritual seal carefully for several times.
—From this moment on, Xu Qingran completely belonged to him.
The atmosphere is wonderful.
Xu Qingran suddenly asked him: "So Shen Tingyu, did you just kiss and bite my bird?"
The air suddenly became quiet.
It was as if he was back to a few years ago, the night when he used a relatively simple and crude method to educate Xu Qingran about imprint science.
Shen Tingyu tried to stay calm: "You can understand it that way if you want."
More explosive topics are yet to come.
Xu Qingran asked him again, his eyes were particularly serious: "Then when can I bite you too?"
Shen Tingyu: “…”
I can't calm down.
It doesn't matter whether Xu Qingran is talking about the mark or another one—
Shen Tingyu closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Stop, don’t think about it anymore.
This time, Xu Qingran took away nearly half of Shen Tingyu's mental power.
I only managed to give him a quarter of the money.
Combat use is not allowed for the time being, but there is no problem in maintaining life and normal recovery of mental strength.
Including the healing of internal and external injuries of the body.
When Xu Qingran came, he brought a small medical kit with him in case of emergency.
So after replenishing Shen Tingyu's mental strength, he stripped off his clothes and began to clean his wounds, apply medicine and bandage them.
The first wound to be treated was the most serious one on the abdomen.
I don't know what scratched me, but the wound was several centimeters deep.
Shen Tingyu regained his spirit and was able to chat normally.
He lowered his head and asked him, "Why are you here? Did they bully you in the evil tower?"
Without even raising his head, Xu Qingran carefully applied medicine to him: "What are you thinking about? Do I look like someone that the evil tower can afford to bully?"
Shen Tingyu smiled, squinting his eyes and said, "Well, not really."
"You're much better than me."
Xu Qingran paused.
Looking at the hideous wounds on his body, he replied, "No."
"I can't bear the pain as well as you, so I tried so hard to escape."
This is the truth.
Xu Qingran was actually quite afraid of pain. Due to various practical reasons, he had to force himself to become a person with great endurance. Even if he was wounded by a knife or a gun, he would not howl.
But if he were to go through the same pain that Shen Tingyu had gone through, he wasn't sure if he could really be as calm as Shen Tingyu.
What's more, two lives.
Shen Tingyu's eyes moved slightly.
He chuckled and said, "Don't think too much about it. It's all in the past. I've already forgotten it."
Xu Qingran listened to his habitual laughter, stopped what he was doing, and raised his eyes.
Suddenly asked him: "Shen Tingyu, aren't you tired of forcing yourself to laugh all the time?"
The smile that was about to appear in those blue eyes suddenly stopped.
Type E is an emotionally indifferent person.
Like those seen in prison, they are naturally indifferent and expressionless, which is their most comfortable state.
Xu Qingran said, "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh. It's not a wrong thing."
He stared at the person in front of him and added: "At least in front of me, do whatever you feel most comfortable with."
"I hope I can only see a smile on your face when you are truly happy."
Shen Tingyu said nothing.
The smile in his eyes receded like the tide, and the corners of his eyes were cold, with an indescribable discomfort.
Tired
worn out.
Learning how to be a normal person is so tiring. But everyone says they are afraid of the indifference of Type E. In order to survive better and consolidate his social status, he has to show his tired appearance to others.
He asked, "Wouldn't you feel scared and disgusted?"
Xu Qingran dipped the cotton swab in the medicine and said to him, "I like your coldness that will kill people if you disagree with me."
"He also looks like he could fuck me to death in bed."
"I hope you won't disappoint me too much then."
Shen Tingyu: “…”
I couldn't help but laugh.
I really mean it. I was so angry that I laughed.
Xu Qingran accompanied Shen Tingyu in the base for a few days to recuperate from his injuries.
He told Shen Tingyu that the rescue team had left and that he would be sent back to the empire when the time came.
Shen Tingyu: “No need.”
"Wherever you go, I'll go."
Full marks for the answer.
Xu Qingran was very satisfied.
After a few days, with Xu Qingran's careful care and regular replenishment of mental strength, Shen Tingyu's complexion recovered a lot.
The wounds on his body were healing, and he was able to get up and walk around the base with Xu Qingran.
Well, I have recovered to the point where I can be stimulated.
Xu Qingran thought.
Shen Tingyu was currently studying the signal transmitter he had found out of the cupboard.
Xu Qingran folded his arms, leaned against the cabinet behind him, and suddenly said: "General Shen, you have recovered well, can we start talking about business?"
Shen Tingyu stopped playing with the signal device instantly.
Normally, when Xu Qingran used such a polite title towards him, it meant that the matter was a little serious.
He turned around before he could speak.
Xu Qingran laughed again, and said slowly, "Ah, should I change my words and call you - Your Highness?"
