”Lou Lan, any findings?” Ai Hui asked in anticipation.
The reason he was so adamant about bringing the blood crystal back was because he had the capable Lou Lan. Perhaps Lou Lan would find something.
”Sorry, there’s none, Ai Hui.” Lou Lan shook his head. ”This type of crystal body is different from all that I have seen to date. It has lost its toxicity and transformed into a very strange type of force, perhaps the blood spiritual force you were talking about, but there are no records of such force in my sand core. Ai Hui, a completely new material requires a lot of time and research before we can understand its use.”
Ai Hui was a little disappointed, but thinking about it, this was nothing strange. The mayor’s people would have found something long ago if it was that easy.
”Don’t be sorry, Lou Lan. You’re already very capable. Everyone respects and likes you,” Ai Hui said sincerely.
”Really?” Lou Lan opened his eyes wide, unable to believe Ai Hui’s words.
”Of course!” Ai Hui shouted suddenly, ”Tell me, everyone. Is Lou Lan good? Who likes Lou Lan?”
”Of course he’s good!”
”Lou Lan’s the best sand puppet!”
”I love you, Lou Lan!”
”Lou Lan, I want to bring you home!”
...
Lou Lan fell into a short daze before smiling widely, his eyes forming two crescent moons. He replied cheerily, ”Lou Lan loves everybody too!”
Excited, Lou Lan turned into a sand wheel. ”Lou Lan healthcare is here!”
Poof! The sand wheel dispersed, landing on and rolling around everyone’s back.
”Hahhaha, so ticklish!”
”Hahaha!”
...
Looking at everyone having fun, Ai Hui’s cold gaze softened significantly. Ai Hui had never forgotten Lou Lan’s words: ”Who would remember a sand puppet?”
A lot of people will remember you, Lou Lan.
Ai Hui thought to himself.
Shi Xueman shook her head rather helplessly. The training plan she had formulated for everyone had been disrupted by Ai Hui, but she could not bear to disrupt the scene of jubilation before her eyes short.
The cruel nightly battles, witnessing her comrades’ deaths, and constant life-threatening situations were like an icy cold sky enveloped by dark smog. There was no place to run. Everyone gritted their teeth and fought for survival.
The frolicking students served as a sudden reminder that they were still a bunch of kids.
She automatically looked toward Ai Hui and saw the coldness and bleakness in his eyes warm up, as if the sky was colored by sunlight.
She was startled. It was her first time seeing such warmth radiating from Ai Hui’s body.
Detecting a watching gaze, Ai Hui turned his neck. Seeing that it was Iron Lady, he hesitated for a little while, muttering to himself, ”Should I say it?”
”What do you want to say,” Shi Xueman blurted out. When she finished her sentence, she felt slightly embarassed.
”I’ll say it then.” Ai Hui walked directly toward Shi Xueman with a stern expression on his face, as if he had just made an important decision.
Inexplicably, Shi Xueman grew nervous. She tried hard to remain calm and undisturbed, but her heart rate started to increase.
Ai Hui walked to Shi Xueman’s side before saying softly, ”Uh… Iron… uh, goddess…”
In Shi Xueman’s book, ”goddess” was a most ordinary word. From a young age, she had lost track of the number of people who called her that. Even within the team, everyone called her that. She knew that this compliment was based more on her appearance and was neither disgusted with nor fond of it.
Yet, somehow, hearing Ai Hui address her as ”goddess” made her heart beat even faster. Thud thud thud. The sound seemed to echo within her chest.
”I’ve saved your life a few times after all,” Ai Hui said with a reserved look on his face. ”As the saying goes, repay your life-saver with money. I’m not blackmailing you, but we’ve had our fatal encounters. It will be unreasonable for me to ask for much, so you can just…”
Shi Xueman’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot. She pointed her Cirrus directly at Ai Hui, frigidly goading him. ”Let’s have a match!”
”Let’s talk things over!” Ai Hui laughed. ”Where there’s no business, there’s compassion. Hahaha, forget it if it’s not possible. Forget it, hahaha…”
Fighting with Iron Lady? Only if his brain was abnormal would he do something so silly, Ai Hui thought.
Under Shi Xueman’s angry gaze, Ai Hui slipped into a room, dejected.
Sigh, his money-making dream was about to be shattered.
It was not easy to earn money!
Ai Hui’s gaze fell on the crystal on the table. He could not help but lament the hardships of life. He had collected the blood crystal in hopes of making some money ,but it looked like that hope was shattered as well.
As Ai Hui played around with the blood crystal in his hand, he subconsciously placed his attention onto it.
A garnet luster had emerged from within the pure, translucent, and sparkling blood crystal. If examined closely, one would see a very fine crimson blood wisp. The blood crystal was solid and heavy. When knocked against the table, it made a sound similar to that of a stone.
What surprised Ai Hui the most was the fact that the blood crystal had no odor, while the blood poison had a distinct fragrance.
Lou Lan said the blood crystal was not toxic.
It was very difficult to imagine that this red gem was actually made from fresh blood. This series of unimaginable changes made Ai Hui fear the Blood of God even more.
The Blood of God was so subversive, and ”genius” was no longer sufficient to describe the person who created all of this.
