Underground Base
Liu Yue stared blankly at the woman in front of him, dressed in silk pajamas that perfectly showcased her graceful figure. His throat moved up and down with great difficulty.
It wasn't desire; it was fear.
"Sis... are you feeling okay?"
"......"
Liu Xinxuan's smile stiffened for a moment before she replied, "I'm fine, what's wrong?"
"Smack!"
A playful hit landed on Liu Xinxuan's head, causing her to look at the person in front of her with teary eyes. Unfortunately, the other party quickly retreated, not even glancing back as they walked straight into the room and sat down in a chair, pretending as if nothing had happened. "What's up with you lately? Changed your dressing style? I'm not saying anything bad, but don't overdo it. No matter how much you dress up, it's still just that; looks are natural, you know?"
"Pfft!"
Liu Xinxuan nearly spat blood, her teeth almost grinding to dust. Her appearance was one of her proudest points; she had always been the most stunning person in any crowd. But now, to be told this by a man?! Just that?
After waiting for a while and noticing the silence in the air, Liu Yue looked up to see Liu Xinxuan's face turning red and pale. He scratched the back of his head and quickly went over to appease her. "Sis, I was just joking! Haha, my sister is the most beautiful! Tell me, have you taken a liking to someone recently? I'll definitely help you catch him!"
As he spoke, he put on a fierce expression, which made Liu Xinxuan's complexion improve slightly. She adjusted her tone to be gentler and said, "It's nothing; I just suddenly thought of something."
"Oh, I see~"
Liu Yue made a clear expression and patted his chest, saying, "I thought I had upset you. I was scared to death. Please don't beat me up again."
"Beat you up?"
Liu Xinxuan looked at Liu Yue with a suspicious gaze. He didn't notice himself and thought, "The two of them clearly have no blood relation. Can they really get along as siblings? Hmph, they must be pretending. Could it be that he hasn't been brainwashed and is just acting?"
Her mind was racing, but her face had already returned to normal as she said, "By the way, I called you here to give you some soup, but I forgot after you interrupted me."
"Soup?!"
"Yeah~"
Liu Xinxuan found it a bit strange that Liu Yue's expression was so odd, but she didn't think much of it. She handed him a Thermal Container and said, "Go home now; it's too late. I'm going to sleep."
"Ah... okay."
Liu Yue stiffly held the Thermal Container and sat in the room for a long time.
He recalled the last soup he had, that dark and murky broth where he couldn't see any ingredients... calling it "poison" would not be an exaggeration.
"Sigh, a true warrior dares to face whatever..."
He muttered to himself while taking a deep breath, resolutely opening the lid, thinking: No wonder he tolerated me; it turns out he was holding back a big move.
As the lid came off, a rich aroma instantly filled the room.
Inside the Thermal Container is Carp Soup, with a few leaves of cilantro floating on top for seasoning, looking vibrant and enticing. However, Liu Yue simply cannot bring himself to eat it and cannot convince himself otherwise. His expression darkens as he stares at the soup, lost in thought.
"Hey! Are you an idiot? You should have told the waiter in advance that you're allergic to cilantro!"
"You don't understand, this is the flavor I wanted~"
Liu Yue, hooked up to an IV, is covered in red spots but smiles brightly.
"This is the flavor you wanted? Ha ha!"
Liu Xinxuan's face turns red with anger as she picks up an apple and throws it at him, shouting, "This is the flavor you wanted? Are you trying to die?"
"Ah~ Murder~~"
"Damn it!"
Suddenly, Liu Yue feels a sharp pain in his head, a chaotic mess inside. Just now, for some reason, Liu Xinxuan's face in his memory seemed to blur and change.
Moreover, over the past month and a half, his sister seems to have undergone a significant personality change—becoming gentler, more understanding, and even able to cook?!
It's good and all, but something feels off. Is it just his illusion?
---
Liu You'er hears Xuan Mo say that he has gotten rid of W and feels somewhat skeptical about whether it's true or not. Although he helped Chuze last time, this situation seems suspicious; the doctor wouldn't just overlook it. Can he really survive after choosing to leave at this time?
But she doesn't ask anything. Along the way, apart from the laughter of two children (actually just Ziche), there is no conversation between them until they come across a Small Base ahead.
Ziche joyfully exclaimed, "We're here, we're here!!!"
Liu You'er glanced at Xuan Mo and noticed he had no intention of leaving, so she let him follow.
They both stopped just under a kilometer from the base, each grabbing hold of a small person and exchanging a knowing glance.
Just as Ziche was about to ask something, it suddenly dawned on her.
"Right, usually there are guards at the base five kilometers away who would drive off or attack anyone approaching. But why is it that until now, there hasn't even been anyone to inquire?"
Moreover, it was too quiet around them; the only sound left was Wind Sound...
The little girl, having lived alongside monsters for a long time, had a keen intuition and now stared at the base with some fear, making a "gurgle" sound in her throat.
"Be careful," Liu You'er casually reminded, drawing a slightly surprised glance from Xuan Mo, who then turned his gaze away.
Liu You'er ignored his little reaction and cautiously approached the base.
Suddenly, something rushed past the gap of a sturdy vine door created by the Earth Elementalist and wood-type Ability user, carrying a hint of blood. She clearly saw that it was a red figure.
