Chapter 28: Let Me Check Your Physical Development for You

Chapter 28: Let Me Check Your Physical Development for You~

Zaleman froze.

An unprecedented sense of fear enveloped his brain, freezing from the nape of his neck to the tailbone.

He looked at Ye Xi like a machine, only to see the remaining smile at the corner of Ye Xi's mouth.

"No..."

"No, no, no... no—!"

The miserable plea for mercy lasted less than a breath, and everyone felt the blood boil in their chests.

Hot!

An extremely painful burning sensation coursed through his chest!

The screams came and went, making people tremble.

In the next moment, the air froze like cold oil.

*Boom... Boom Boom*

Like pieces of dominoes, several figures fell directly to the ground without making a sound.

*"Ah--!"*

"Monster! Demon——!"

The face of the newcomer was pale, and he was stunned with fear.

Being a bit distant from his companions, he survived by luck.

Seeing everyone unconscious at that moment, he felt a chill in his stomach.

*"Hum?"*

"There's still one more."

Ye Xi's eyes fell on the newcomer.

As if struck by lightning, the newcomer ran away without stopping to vomit, throwing everything he had in his hands onto the road.

While running, he vomited.

The sight of him vomiting against the wind made the corners of Ye Xi's mouth twitch.

He tossed it casually, and a golden Mora flew into the sky.

Under the moonlight, Mora rolled and spun, shining with a dazzling golden light.

However, when Mora fell, Ye Xi caught it back in his hands.

Watching the newcomer flee, he shook his head.

'Using the [Electromagnetic Super Weapon] here, I fear it might alarm everyone in the city.'

'And this kind of hidden card being exposed too early is inappropriate.'

In any case, the rookie still hadn't made the [criminal record], so he was safe.

Ye Xi thought this way, then looked at the mess on the ground, feeling a bit confused.

The first time he did this kind of thing, his heart was at peace.

'Were you and your friends used to digging the ground before?'

Suddenly, an ethereal reminder sounded in his mind.

[Ding~]

[I noticed the host's mood was fluctuating a lot and automatically used the effect [Forced Calm] and extended the duration of the effect.]

I see.

Ye Xi didn't expect the system to work this way.

Although the effect was very good, it seemed too impersonal.

In short, things seemed to be settled; it was time to go back.

He turned and went to Collei, lifting him up as if he were a kitten.

"Arriving in Sumeru City so late, were you looking for me?"

"Um..."

"I want to... cure the devil's scale disease..."

Seeing the tears shining in Collei's beautiful eyes, Ye Xi nodded and said, "Then let's go."

...

Ye Xi's Family Courtyard.

On the way, Collei was very weak and fell into a coma.

Upon hearing Ye Xi's footsteps, Ayexia ran out of the house excitedly.

After seeing Collei in Ye Xi's arms, she couldn't help but bitterly say, "The master said he was going for a walk, but he picked up a beautiful woman."

"Let me see..."

"Wow~ What a lovely girl!"

Ayexia is known as the number one beauty of Miaolun School, and she is quite confident about it.

But upon seeing Collei's angelic face as she slept, she felt a bit embarrassed.

"Take her to wash up..."

"Yes, ma'am."

With Ayexia's help, Collei lay in a wooden barrel filled with warm water.

Wrapped and soaked in warm water, Collei felt as if she had come to life.

If you want to bathe in the forest, you always go to a spring to wash yourself.

Of course, the spring water is cold.

Therefore, it isn't easy to take a hot bath.

Under the stimulation of the warm water, Collei's numb fingers gradually regained feeling.

"Miss Ayexia, I... I can do this myself..."

It's not that I haven't bathed with girls; it's just embarrassing to be in a tub.

Especially when you have to ask someone for help to clean you.

Collei always admired Amber in her heart, wanting to be as cheerful as Amber.

But deep down, she always felt very inferior.

In front of Ayexia, who was meeting her for the first time, Collei felt a bit shy.

Ayexia chuckled: "Just call me by my name."

"Speaking of which, Collei, you're quite predictable..."

"Let me help you check your development~"

"Eh--!"

"Miss Ayexia! No..."

Collei hugged her arms, and her face turned red.

After playing a little, Ayexia suddenly stopped.

Because she saw many scars on Collei's arm!

Some were fresh wounds, while others looked like old wounds, as if they had been pierced by needles.

"This... this is..."

Collei followed Ayexia's gaze and explained: "Every forest guard has these wounds because there are thorns in the forest."

"So these..."

Ayexia touched those pin-like scars, and her heart ached. She couldn't imagine what Collei had been through.

"Those..."

"I was fooled by fools when I was a child..."

After hearing Collei's story, Ayexia was horrified: "Those hateful idiots!"

This incident completely shattered Ayexia's three views!

They actually used sick children as experiments!

Human experiments!

As an academic, Ayexia felt extremely irritated!

This is an insult to academics!

Moreover, Collei was still very young at that time!

Ayexia could understand this kind of fear, this kind of despair.

She had just grown up, so when she thought of Collei's experience, she also felt very scared.

But thinking that she had Ye Xi, the feeling of peace of mind calmed her.

As long as Ye Xi was there, she wouldn't be afraid of anything.

She hugged Collei from behind, gently comforting her: "It's all over, everything will be fine."

"Collei, Master Ye Xi will bring you a new life!"

Upon hearing what Ayexia said, Collei suddenly wanted to know: what kind of existence does Ye Xi represent in Ayexia's heart?

No matter how stupid she was, she could still guess that Ayexia was already a member of Ye Xi.

So, Ayexia could be considered her [senior].

She wondered if she would be happy if she were with Ye Xi.

In fact, she hadn't intended to stay by Ye Xi's side.

She still had her own dreams.

When she left Mondstadt that year, she told Amber that she wanted to become a doctor and learn excellent medical skills.

That way, more people could be saved.

So, she planned to cure the devil's scale disease and return to the forest.

Thinking about this, she curiously asked:

"Ayexia, is Master Ye Xi treating you well?"
