Chapter 174: Do You Want To Possess Such Power
“They cut open my stomach, saying I didn’t deserve to eat food…
They cut off my tongue, saying my tongue couldn’t taste delicious flavors, and replaced my tongue with a lizard’s tongue…”
Yina covered her face, her mood extremely complex. From the moment she was captured into the laboratory, she didn’t know if she should regret her actions or hate these people’s cruelty.
She had anticipated it for so many years, and finally could eat the meal in the restaurant, only to find it wasn’t as tasty as she had imagined.
It was just like a long-promised wish; when it was about to come true, she realized how ridiculous the wish was.
At that time, anger and disappointment surged in her heart. She was disappointed that the food she had envied and anticipated for so long wasn’t tasty, and angry that such unpalatable food had cost her a month’s wages…
However, what made her even more despairing was that because she said the meal wasn’t tasty and demanded a refund, she was captured into the laboratory and subjected to inhumane abuse by those people from then on.
“Do you think I shouldn’t have said those words, I shouldn’t have entered that restaurant, I didn’t deserve to eat that food…” Yina suddenly became incoherent.
Wali noticed Yina’s abnormality and quickly ran to her side to comfort her.
“Yina, Yina, don’t think about it anymore. It’s all in the past, Yina. Look at me, Yina…”
Shi An’an saw this and quickly took out essential oil, opened it, and placed it under Yina’s nose.
After smelling the fragrance of the essential oil, Yina gradually calmed down, and her eyes regained clarity.
“Sorry.”
After regaining her senses, Yina looked at Shi An’an apologetically.
Shi An’an gently shook her head, looked at Yina, and said firmly, “You didn’t do anything wrong.”
Hearing Shi An’an’s words, Yina looked up at her.
“I think you weren’t wrong. If it were me, I might have done the same. The ones who were wrong are those people…”
Hearing Shi An’an’s words, Wali looked at her deeply, complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
Xiu noticed Wali’s gaze, narrowed his eyes, and looked at him warily.
Hearing someone affirm her, Yina’s heart immediately felt much lighter, and the self-blame from these years seemed to fade.
She continued to recount the events in the laboratory.
“…The last time, I heard them say they wanted to alter the human body structure, to turn it into the body structure of the most primitive humans on Gu Lan Star…”
Hearing this, Shi An’an frowned, glanced at Xiu, who nodded, and Shi An’an’s eyes darkened.
“I was carried to the operating table. At that time, due to excessive blood loss, I went into shock. They thought I was dead and threw me into the black hole, and I arrived here.”
Relief appeared on Yina’s face. “When I woke up, I found myself lying in a pile of corpses. That was when I realized that I wasn’t the only victim.
Although this place has many star beasts, I discovered they had no intention of attacking me.
Moreover, they seemed to really dislike humans. Every time I encountered them, I was very scared, but those star beasts walked past me without even looking.
“Later, I discovered they really hated a kind of fruit.” Yina pointed to the fruit she had picked on the ground.
“It’s this kind of fruit. They hate it a lot. I tried smearing the juice from the fruit on my body, and sure enough, when they saw me again, they stayed far away, hehehehe…”
Shi An’an and Xiu, hearing this message, raised their eyebrows in surprise, looked at the trichosanthes on the ground, and exchanged a glance filled with delight.
“Three years after I arrived here, I discovered Wali. When he was thrown in, his whole body was covered in scars, all freshly stitched and still bleeding…”
Yina looked at Wali with heartache, gently stroking his hair.
“He was an orphan from Garbage Star. Those people specifically went to Garbage Star to capture people. People on Garbage Star disappear without anyone noticing, and even if noticed, no one would care.”
Wali hung his head, obediently letting Yina pet his head.
“That one was picked up by us a few days ago. The wound is infected, high fever not subsiding, hasn’t woken up, probably… won’t wake up either.”
Yina looked at the silent man on the ground and sighed.
Shi An’an walked in front of the man on the ground, squatted down, raised her hand to check his condition and heal his body.
“Let me.”
Xiu grabbed Shi An’an’s hand and said.
Then Xiu placed one hand on the man’s head on the ground, inputting spiritual power into the man’s body to heal him.
Yina and Wali watched this scene curiously, then saw the man’s wounds gradually heal, and the scars on his body disappear.
“Wow!” Wali exclaimed.
Moments later, Xiu stopped. Shi An’an quickly took out a spirit stone and placed it in his hand.
Xiu gripped the spirit stone, smiled at Shi An’an, then began absorbing the spirit stone to replenish his spiritual power.
“You… he…” Yina looked at Xiu in shock.
“Is he an Empire healer?”
Yina quietly asked Shi An’an.
Shi An’an shook her head. “No.”
“Oh…”
Hearing the negative answer, the light in Yina’s eyes dimmed.
Wali asked puzzledly, “Then why can he heal that person’s body? If not a healer, then what?”
Shi An’an beckoned to Wali. Wali stood up and walked over to Shi An’an.
Shi An’an squatted down, looked into Wali’s eyes. “If you had this ability, would you heal him?”
“Of course!” Wali said firmly.
“Then if you had great power, what would you want to do?”
“What kind of power? Mental power?”
Shi An’an raised her hand, vines whipped out from her hand, lifted the boulder on the ground, and gently set it down.
She snapped her fingers again, and rainwater fell from above Wali’s head.
“Ah!” Wali was suddenly drenched by the rainwater, startled. Then he discovered that wherever he went, the rainwater followed him, which was extremely fun.
The rainwater washed away the dirt on Wali’s body and also removed the scars on him.
Yina excitedly watched Wali, then looked at Shi An’an with words on the tip of her tongue but held back.
Xiu saw Wali’s clean, handsome face revealed without the dirt, and the few rags on his body about to fall off.
His face darkened, and he immediately reached out to cover Shi An’an’s eyes.
He took out a piece of clothes and threw it onto Wali, ordering him to put it on immediately.
With her eyes covered by Xiu, Shi An’an’s lips curved up. She raised her hand and snapped her fingers, stopping the rainwater.
Wali looked up, saw the rainwater was gone, and showed disappointment on his face.
“Put it on!”
Xiu looked at him coldly, urging him to dress.
Wali glanced at Xiu, then at Shi An’an, and quickly changed into the clothes.
After seeing Wali dressed, Xiu noted how ill-fitting they were, frowned, but at least the parts that shouldn’t be exposed were covered.
He lowered his hand and saw Shi An’an’s bright eyes staring at him.
“What’s wrong?” Xiu asked softly, lowering his head.
Shi An’an pursed her lips, smiled and shook her head, then looked toward Wali and walked over.
