CHAPTER 95: CHAPTER 95: LITTLE LIAR

"Ruan Li, are you crazy..." Bai He said sharply.

"Do you realize that the blood in your body is just as full of Life Force?"

Zhe Ye also disagreed: "You clearly know Ruan Ying’s intentions are not pure, yet you just gave her your blood for experiments."

Seeing the heavy atmosphere, Ruan Li defended herself: "I just thought it was just a little bit of blood anyway..."

"Is this really about the blood?" Zhe Ye said, his smoke-gray eyes covered with a cold mist, making those who saw it shiver inside.

Seeing them attacking her like this, Ruan Li felt upset and wronged, "I don’t even know what I was thinking at the time, Ruan Jiao said she just wanted me to help with something, and I rashly agreed."

Bai He pondered: "Don’t blame yourself, you weren’t aware of this either."

Xi Han looked up at him: "Then how did you find out?"

Bai He pressed his lips together, initially wanting to reveal the events of that night, but seeing Ruan Li’s hesitant look, he spoke ambiguously, "Ruannuan helped me before."

Xi Han’s gaze shifted from his face to Ruan Li, who clearly appeared relieved.

Zhe Ye: "It might be that they released some kind of gas in the air at that time, which temporarily impaired people’s rational judgment."

Ruan Li nodded in agreement, not wanting to admit that she just thought it was no big deal, like donating blood, not expecting the consequences to be so severe, and fundamentally, it was a matter of interest exchange.

Of course, others might think Ruan Li suffered a loss, but for her, taking a tube of blood doesn’t mean losing it, she didn’t feel any loss.

"Sit on the sofa first, don’t stand in the doorway." Bai He suggested, noticing Ruan Li’s fatigue and thinking she might feel uncomfortable after hearing the tone he and Zhe Ye used.

Zhe Ye, seeing Ruan Li’s eyes fixated on the fox in his hand, said, "Let’s change the bandages first. There might still be some germs on this fox, better keep some distance."

Knowing she was in the wrong, Ruan Li obediently sat on the sofa, and Bai He kneeled in front of her with a home medical kit to change her bandage.

"The wound is a bit deep, might need a tetanus shot."

Ruan Li pursed her lips.

Bai He injected the medication into her arm, the cold liquid steadily flowing in.

Xi Han held her in his arms, gently patting her shoulder, "Little liar."

Ruan Li initially wanted to retort, but under his gaze, she reluctantly closed her mouth.

"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Bai He asked.

Ruan Li shook her head: "No."

"Hungry?"

Ruan Li nodded.

Bai He heated a cup of milk and took two pieces of bread for her, "I’ll make some soup to boost your blood and energy tomorrow."

Zhe Ye turned on the Smart Brain, activating the tracking system he had previously installed on Ruan Li’s device.

"How is it, any leads?" Bai He asked.

Zhe Ye’s eyes remained fixed on the screen, "We can track a certain distance, but it seems to have been discovered later and the signal vanished here."

He pointed to that star system.

The star system closest to that location was Star A.

"Could it be that the research facility is indeed on Star A..."

"Currently, there’s an extermination mission on Star A, I can take a squad and search around while we’re there."

Having finished eating, Ruan Li saw the two of them discussing and moved closer to listen, "I remember that building has nine floors and is mostly filled with robots."

Zhe Ye thought for a moment and circled some locations on the map.

"These places are remote, with abandoned factories that can process waste water without being noticed. Based on the observational and laboratory facilities you mentioned, their large energy consumption should be easy to spot."

Leaning her chin on Zhe Ye’s shoulder, Ruan Li pondered, "I have a feeling... could it not be on the ground?"

"Hmm?"

Ruan Li described her first impression of the research facility, "The ceiling lights were glaringly bright, and even at the landing site on the first floor, the ventilation didn’t seem very good, also..."

"The place seemed to have strict requirements on lighting," Ruan Li vaguely explained her feelings at the time, "aside from the lighting, there were basically no other light sources, and it was very quiet, the soundproofing materials must be excellent."

"At that time, all the residents on Star A were ordered to evacuate forcefully, a directive issued by the Congress. However, many fierce beasts were seen dwelling underground, and radars detected countless beast nests beneath... if these fierce beasts were deliberately placed there by someone..." Zhe Ye proposed the hypothesis.

Xi Han toyed with Ruan Li’s long hair, uninterested in these matters.

He gazed at Ruan Li with his blue eyes wistfully.

The land was full of chaotic issues, he wanted to whisk Ruannuan away to Atlantis.

The Mermaids were ocean overlords, and once Ruannuan returned with him, aside from eating, drinking and having fun, they would later raise some Mermaids...

But what if she disagreed?

Xi Han’s eyes grew deep, he stared at the back of Ruan Li’s head, thinking of this little female who loved to attract wild beastmen, he couldn’t help grinding his back teeth.

If she objected, he would lock her at his side, find a giant beautiful shell, keep her inside and lock her in a nest... she would see only him, a single beastman, every day, and no one else.

Ruan Li rested on Zhe Ye’s shoulder and suddenly felt a chill at her back, turning around she saw Xi Han’s fingers already winding her long hair into circles.

He stared at her with a mysterious smile.

Ruan Li felt his smile was strange, and raised her hand to rub his expression away.

Xi Han saw her touching his face and her lips curled up into a smile again.

Ruan Li rubbed it away again, how could he be so handsome, yet so creepy when he smiled?

Xi Han assumed that she liked touching him, so leaned in to make it convenient for her, only to find Ruan Li just pinched his face, and turned back to continue leaning against that gray wolf.

He looked at Ruan Li with grievance.

Zhe Ye glanced over coolly, seeing him with a gloomy expression like a deserted Beast Husband, he clicked his tongue inwardly, as expected, Mermaid Species were not normal beastmen.

The three finally determined several suspicious locations, with Zhe Ye planning to investigate secretly during the next operation.

Noting it was almost midnight, Ruan Li yawned and was about to head upstairs.

Xi Han followed behind her, seeing she was going to the third floor, and lifted his leg to follow.

Ruan Li turned around and saw the person behind her, "Xi Han, go back to your room and sleep."

At the mention of sleep, a radiant blue light flashed in Xi Han’s eyes.

After ten days and nights of getting to know them, how could Ruan Li not recognize the look in these beasts’ eyes when they were in heat?

"No way, everyone back to their own houses."

Zhe Ye stood in the second-floor hallway, his voice calm, "Ruannuan, didn’t you say you’d choose to rest in one of the five Beast Husband rooms each night?"

Hmm?

It seems she might have said that.

Ruan Li recalled when they were fighting over rooms, she seemed to have agreed.

Zhe Ye slightly hooked his lips, "Are you thinking about which one to choose tonight?"

Ruan Li’s eyes first bypassed Xi Han.

Mermaids may be beautiful, but they’re truly intense.

"Then Bai He it is."
