"Hey, Old Seven, how come you found someone today?"
"Who says otherwise? But luckily, this person has a broken mech on her, and she's a woman. Picking her up isn't too much of a loss."
"Strange. It's not like there's a magnetic tide right now. How could someone fall onto Black Porcelain Star?"
"Who knows? But once I sell this girl, along with her mech, heh heh, I'll treat you to a nice meal."
"Alright, I'll be waiting!"
Lin Yao listened to their conversation in a daze, struggling to wake from her unconscious state. Unfortunately, her body felt unbearably heavy, and she couldn't open her eyes. She realized that her injuries were severe enough to cause a disconnection between her spirit and body.
From the conversation, it was clear that the ones who picked her up were not good people. Ignoring the risk of worsening her injuries, she released a portion of her spiritual energy to observe her surroundings for safety.
Soon enough, she was taken to the seller. The seller examined her injuries and refused to buy her. "She's too badly hurt; the cost of treatment is too high. I won't take her!"
Old Seven spat in frustration. "What bad luck! I finally found a woman, and she's in such bad shape!"
As he spoke, he was about to toss Lin Yao aside. His companion leered and said, "Hey, don't throw her away just yet. While she's still alive, let's have some fun first."
Hearing this made Lin Yao's heart race. In her current state, she was no different from a corpse. "Old Zou, how can you have such a twisted taste!"
"Soft and warm; much better than a corpse. Sure, it lacks some excitement, but look at how delicate she is! She's definitely younger than those girls in the red-light district; she might even be a virgin!" The voice dripped with lewdness.
"That makes sense; let's take her then?"
"Heh heh, let's take our time with her!"
These two scoundrels!
Lin Yao was furious; the emotional turmoil aggravated her injuries even further. She quickly reined in her feelings. The two men dragged Lin Yao away while lewdly fantasizing about her.
They reached a secluded spot where Lin Yao seized the opportunity to strike back. Using her spiritual energy, she pierced through their consciousnesses and extinguished their awareness.
However, this exertion worsened her injuries again, and she fainted once more.
When Lin Yao woke up again, she found herself in a dilapidated house. At that moment, there was no one else in the broken-down place. She tried to use her mental power to open her spatial pendant, but she was completely unable to communicate with the space inside it.
Fortunately, she still had a system space available. Struggling to use her mental power, she retrieved a vial of body repair potion from the system space and swallowed it. However, due to excessive energy consumption, she fainted once more.
When she regained consciousness again, a frail boy was crouched beside her, feeding her a nutrient solution while muttering, "I worked hard to save you; you better not die on me. This nutrient solution costs one black porcelain coin. Remember to pay me back when you wake up."
Perhaps because she had taken a vial of body repair potion earlier, Lin Yao felt somewhat better and attempted to search the dilapidated house for an electronic writing board, a reader, or a light brain—anything that could help her communicate through writing. However, after scanning the entire house with her mental power, she found none of these technological items.
She could only awkwardly manipulate a branch with her mental power and tried to write in front of the boy. Fortunately, the script here seemed to be compatible with that of the Yunmeng Galaxy, so the boy could understand it, though he was startled and thought he had encountered something strange.
After spending a long time explaining that this was a psychic ability, they finally managed to communicate. Just as they had established some understanding, she fainted again due to exhaustion.
Considering her severe injuries and urgent need for relief, when Lin Yao woke up and saw the boy again, she took out a box of body repair potions from her system space and placed it in front of him. She wrote: "I am seriously injured and may faint at any moment. Please remember to feed me one potion from this box every day."
Recalling what he had said about the nutrient solution costing one star coin, she also took out a box of nutrient solutions and told him: "This is a high-grade nutrient solution; you can give me one every day and drink some yourself."
The boy looked at the potions on the ground with curiosity and asked softly, "Is this also your ability?"
Lin Yao wrote back: "Don't you know that there is something called a spatial pendant in this world?"
"A spatial pendant? But they say that spatial pendants from Black Porcelain Star are unusable," he replied.
Lin Yao was taken aback; no wonder she couldn't communicate with her spatial pendant—it was unusable here on Black Porcelain Star. Fortunately, the boy didn't press further and obediently hid both boxes securely. He explained, "I'm not taking your things; it's just too messy here. I'm afraid someone might steal them while I'm gone."
Lin Yao wrote: "I understand. Thank you!"
The fact that this boy would take care of an unfamiliar person whose survival was uncertain proved that he was likely quite kind-hearted.
In the days that followed, under the boy's care as he fed her one vial of body repair potion each day, Lin Yao's condition gradually improved. When she woke up after that, she no longer felt completely detached from her physical body; occasionally, she could even manage slight movements of her hands and feet.
Feeling recovery was just around the corner, Lin Yao reduced her use of mental energy and entered a deeper state of sleep to help her body recover as quickly as possible.
Unexpectedly, the boy expressed some discontent, asking, "Why haven't you been chatting with me lately?"
"I want to restore my body as soon as possible so that we can communicate with words," he added excitedly.
"Then hurry up and get better!" he urged. "Everyone here dislikes me and doesn't want to talk to me."
"Why do they dislike you?"
"Because my body often goes out of control and transforms into a monster," the boy replied, his tone somewhat dejected. "You don't dislike me too, do you?"
"Transform into a monster?"
It sounded like a form of bodily mutation. What kind of bodily mutation would make someone be called a monster?
"You might have a celestial ability. Next time your body mutates, I'll know when I see it," Lin Yao said.
As her recovery accelerated, Lin Yao's sleeping hours grew longer; sometimes she wouldn't wake up for three or four days straight.
The boy didn't mind whether Lin Yao was asleep or not; he always enjoyed chattering beside her. Each time she woke up, she could hear his voice.
However, this time when she awoke, she noticed that the boy was no longer beside her chatting away but instead curled up weakly on the sofa nearby.
Curious, Lin Yao observed him and realized he had injuries on him.
She quickly poked him with her mental energy and asked, "What happened to you?"
The boy looked at her with surprise when he saw she was awake. "I'm fine; I just got beaten up."
