Lin Muci returned in the evening and placed the potion given to her by Ling Kuang on the table, then began to study this mental power potion.
"This mental power potion was given to me by Ling Kuang—where did he get it from? I guessed that Ling Kuang himself took this mental power potion. Looking at his expression, it seemed I guessed correctly."
"Is this really his mental power potion?"
Lin Muci looked at the little system.
"Is his condition not good?"
The little system scratched its rabbit head with its claws.
"Perhaps. He had a big fight with the Zerg in that research institute before. If there were any sequelae left, it's hard to say."
"And that mecha of his is indeed troublesome. Whenever he uses it, it's as if someone is tormenting his soul..."
"Unless the hidden danger of that mecha is resolved."
"Otherwise, the consequences will be endless."
Lin Muci thought of the information she had received these past few days and immediately grasped the key point.
"You mean—this mecha, because Jiang Yu Ye's resentment is still lingering on it, will cause trouble for the new owner of this mecha, causing them to fall into illusions of fire and water, and endure immense mental pressure at all times?"
The little system nodded.
"Perhaps this is why Ling Qian He needs to take mental power potions regularly."
"Host, if you want to help him, you must solve this problem."
It sounds simple, but it's easier said than done. Jiang Yu Ye is a figure nailed to the pillar of human shame. He died without a whole corpse, none of his family survived, and he had no descendants. He is taboo in the Central Starfield.
When others mention him, they curse him and hate him to the bone, treating him as a great villain. It's almost an impossible task to vindicate him.
His resentment is so heavy that he can never be freed.
Lin Muci sighed and lay on the table, staring blankly at the little rabbit Yue Xiao.
"You've given me a very, very difficult problem."
The little rabbit Yue Xiao said matter-of-factly.
"But the host is someone who can accomplish all impossible things."
"The host is the most powerful in my eyes."
"Humans hate Jiang Yu Ye so much, but without Jiang Yu Ye, there would have been far more than hundreds of millions of civilians in danger. Countless star systems would have been devastated."
"When he gained the trust of the Zerg Mother Nest, although he did kill many human powerhouses, some human powerhouses also willingly cooperated with him."
"Moreover, many of the people he killed were deserters who fled from the battlefield."
"He has contributed everything to humanity. But in the end, he was annihilated, his family was executed, and his body was scattered without a trace. How could he be willing?"
Lin Muci found it difficult to judge right from wrong. She only knew that if she wanted Ling Qian He to be able to use the mecha Fen Xin smoothly, she had to resolve the hidden danger of the mecha.
She pursed her lips and said.
"I understand. I will find a way."
...
The next day, in the office of the Mecha Academy, Yang Lanyan looked at the young girl in front of him with surprise, and a surge of ecstasy suddenly filled his heart!
This girl actually came to him proactively, could it be...
She has feelings for him?
Lin Muci looked at him frankly and said.
"Do you have this kind of mental power potion?"
She tossed the potion to Yang Lanyan to look at. Yang Lanyan only glanced at it twice, and his expression suddenly became solemn.
"This is..."
"This is a triple-S level mental power replenishment potion... it can quickly replenish a person's mental power, and also nourish their consciousness sea. This item is incredibly rare. Our Central Starfield only gets ten bottles each year, and even I can't get my hands on it."
"Where did you get it?"
So Ling Kuang wasn't lying. He was the only one who could obtain this potion.
She didn't know how he got it. Was he that capable in the Central Starfield?
A thought flashed through Lin Muci's mind, but since Yang Lanyan said that even he couldn't get it, she nodded and turned to leave. But Yang Lanyan suddenly asked her.
"Do you really like Ling Kuang?"
"But you must know that his identity means he cannot give you a stable and prosperous life. You might be dragged down by him and henceforth live in constant turmoil and displacement."
"Ling Kuang has an extreme personality. The Council had assessed him when he was young and believed he was not suitable to have a female beast..."
"Nor can he take good care of his own female beast."
"Moreover, he is constantly affected by his own mecha Fen Xin. Sooner or later, his consciousness sea will become chaotic... and there is even a risk of him exploding and dying."
"If you know all this, would you still be willing to stay by Ling Kuang's side?"
Yang Lanyan's voice carried a hint of urgency. Veins bulged on his wrist as he spoke.
"He, Ling Kuang himself knows this! But he doesn't care. He doesn't care how long he can live, he doesn't care what this world will become..."
"Why do you think you are an exception? Why do you think someone like that would bow down for you, or care about you?"
Yang Lanyan pressed her so aggressively. He walked up to her, the light deep in his eyes, brilliant like moonlight, yet also emanating a coldness, like the colorless moonlight in the coldest night, shining upon her.
"You are a female beast!"
"Isn't it good to be cherished in the palm of someone's hand?"
"He is just a warden of the Eighth Prison. What has he done to you that makes you so devoted?"
The young girl opposite him slowly looked into his eyes. She could see the pain and confusion in his expression, and she said.
"He hasn't actually done anything to me."
"It's just that I can understand him, I can understand his true self beneath his arrogance."
She knew that Yang Lanyan opposite her wouldn't understand.
Because she didn't know the eccentric prison warden who was feared and hated in the Central Starfield.
She knew the Ling Qian He who was extremely mad, yet also extremely fragile in front of her.
From the first time Ling Qian He lost control for her.
To him finding her again and again.
She had seen all his true selves, seen him in unbearable pain, stuck in a hellish mire, seen him trek thousands of miles to climb out of hell, seen him looking down upon all beings from a high position, seen him shed his last tear for her.
So.
She would always believe in Ling Qian He.
She would always understand him.
"You say his life will have no exceptions."
"I will be that exception."
"You say he will be affected by the mecha Fen Xin, his consciousness sea will go chaotic and he will die."
"I will help him solve this problem."
Yang Lanyan was almost going mad. He really wanted to ask this girl, by what right? How could a female beast like her defy the heavens? It was heaven's will for that madman Ling Kuang to bring about his own destruction.
She was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, she was throwing herself into the fire, it was nothing more than a moth flying into a flame!
Even if she thought he was good.
That person would not be moved.
He had no heart.
Only those without hearts could control the mecha Fen Xin and not endure the pain of Fen Xin all the time, because without a heart, there was no pain.
Lin Muci simply nodded at him and then turned to leave without any hesitation.
Yang Lanyan stared at her retreating figure, clenching his teeth. For some reason, his heart felt as if it was being gnawed by ten thousand ants.
He had only met this female beast a few times, yet hearing her words of defense for Ling Kuang caused such pain in his heart?
And this pain was so clear, so clear that... he could barely breathe.
Was this female beast destined to be his downfall?
He clenched his fist tightly.
As Lin Muci walked out of the office, she slightly turned her head and was somewhat surprised because she found a figure standing outside the door.
That person had been standing there for who knows how long.
Lin Muci raised her head. The youth met her gaze. On his face, which was exquisitely handsome, a complex emotion appeared, one that made her heart ache. He pursed his lips, and in his perfectly shaped eyes, like eternal stars, a flickering light shone, like a candle lit in the abyss, blazing brightly.
He walked to her side, then reached out and pulled her into his embrace. She could feel the warmth of his body. Nestled in his arms, held tightly by him, she heard him say.
"Someone without a heart."
"Is it still worth it?"
He was asking her.
Lin Muci knew.
For some reason, her eyes unexpectedly became a little moist. Many memories surfaced in her mind. She leaned quietly in his embrace, feeling his heartbeat, and then she said.
"Someone without a heart will also grow flesh and blood hearts again."
The man holding her, his body seemed to tremble slightly, then he reached out and stroked her head, his movements gentle and full of tenderness. Then he kissed her forehead, looking into her bright eyes, and he was reminded of the little fox confined in the Eighth Prison back then.
White and soft.
A little fox with the scent of milk on its body.
He liked it very much.
Later, when he threw the little fox away in a fit of pique, a fire burned in his heart, making him restless.
And now, this little fox had returned to his embrace.
Anyone.
Anyone in this world, no one would be allowed to snatch her from him!
His little fox, he would never let go again.
