Fang Er, on the verge of suffocation: ...........
Do these women want me dead?
But his current physical condition left him no control over himself, so he could only let Xi Tong pour bowl after bowl of medicinal juice into his stomach.
"Bitter... woo-loo-loo-loo..."
"Slow, slow... hoo-loo-loo-loo..."
He wanted to speak, but could not articulate himself clearly. Each attempt only produced the sound of air churning the liquid in his mouth.
[Stop thinking so much. Drink this medicine first, your life is more important!]
Xi Tong, with tears in her eyes, gave him no room to resist.
Watching bowl after bowl of the medicinal liquid go down his throat, Fang Er realized he might be overfed to death rather than saved. It was then that he remembered to communicate with her via brainwaves.
"You crazy woman, you're trying to kill me!"
[What are you afraid of? As soon as you breathe your last, I'll stash you in the spatial warehouse immediately. Then I'll find Old Sun and the others to bring you back to life!]
Fang Er: ...........
Faced with such an assertive Xi Tong, he had no idea what to say.
"My body can't handle such tonics, elder sister. Let's stop for a moment. Let me digest what I've already swallowed, alright?"
[What do you mean your body can't handle tonics? Didn't you see you can communicate with me via brainwaves after drinking these few bowls?]
[Besides, even if you're over-supplemented, I have a hundred ways to make you expel the excess. Be good, drink up, we're not afraid!]
Fang Er: .........
Damn it!
I just didn't think of this earlier, okay?!
And I told you my body can't handle tonics, and you're still playing like this?
How come I feel like I'm going to die at this woman's hands today?!
The medicinal juice poured into his stomach quickly began to take effect, and a warmth gradually formed in his abdomen, surging towards his limbs.
In less than three seconds, several streams of blood seeped out from his mouth, ears, nose, and eyes.
More outrageously, Fang Er even felt his pants were wet!
The bright red blood quickly stained Xi Tong's clothes beneath him through the fabric. It was only then that she realized something was wrong.
[Bang?]
[Bang?]
[What's wrong? Don't scare me!]
She flung the bowl far away and clutched Fang Er, weeping uncontrollably.
"Cough! Cough! Can you loosen your arm a bit!"
Fang Er's eyes rolled back, his heart about to shatter..........
Xi Tong had merely been momentarily flustered. After releasing Fang Er, she sat beside him, blaming herself profusely.
While keeping her head down, not daring to meet Fang Er's gaze, she stealthily rummaged through the spatial warehouse again.
She had only one thought.
That after experiencing so many parallel spaces and alien civilizations, the warehouse must contain countless medicinal ingredients, and there was definitely something to alleviate his injuries!
After searching for a while, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Treant Fruit!
The thing that grew from Mo De's head. This item could repair DNA!
Coupled with the medicinal juice he had just drunk, perhaps there would be unexpected effects...
Ever since Mo De went to that bird-dropping island, the green leaves on his head had grown more luxuriant day by day, and the fruits were harvested every few days, just like strawberries!
She took out a few and shoved them into Fang Er's mouth without explanation.
Fortunately, this thing was watery, otherwise, Fang Er might have been choked to death on the spot!
Swallowing the fruits with the blood in his mouth, Fang Er rolled his eyes at Xi Tong speechlessly.
These days, it was too damn miserable!
By some twist of fate, this series of actions actually improved Fang Er's condition.
His hair, which was entirely white, gradually began to show streaks of black.
The muscles in his face and limbs, which had been continuously shrinking, stopped deteriorating and even became plump again, his skin regaining its luster.
"Son of a bitch!"
Several hours later, Fang Er, having regained some strength, struggled to his feet and cursed at the stellar core a kilometer away.
From the moment he came into contact with the stellar core until he was flung away, he hadn't felt anything unusual!
This situation was truly bizarre!
Seeing that his condition had finally improved, Xi Tong let out a sigh of relief, but then her brow furrowed again.
[The stellar core is impossible to approach. What should we do?]
"To hell with it! May this bird ascend to heaven, and live for ten thousand years if it doesn't die!"
"I refuse to believe this evil!"
Fang Er's eyes fixed on the stellar core, and after saying this, he immediately took out another mecha and climbed inside.
Seeing this, Xi Tong's eyes widened in alarm, and she grabbed him.
[What are you doing?]
"What else? I'm going to capture it!"
[Are you trying to die?]
"I'm not afraid, at worst you can just force-feed me again!"
With that, he directly pushed Xi Tong aside and climbed into the mecha, charging towards the stellar core once more.
[Big Stick, come back here!]
Watching his retreating figure, Xi Tong stomped her feet in anger.
Seeing that Fang Er had no intention of listening to her, she gritted her teeth and followed him.
[Fang, you're ruthless. If we die here, how will I explain it to Chai Yue and the others?]
Just a few hundred meters after flying out, Fang Er heard this and his expression changed drastically. He quickly controlled the mecha to stop.
Xi Tong caught up in an instant, circled behind Fang Er, and delivered a kick.
Fang Er never expected her to do this, and was immediately kicked back to his starting position.
Then Xi Tong pointed at him and yelled.
[You ungrateful bastard! If we really die here, how can I explain it to Chai Yue and the others when I go back?]
[I'm just an AI. If something happens to me, I won't have any regrets.]
[But what about you?]
[You have over a dozen beautiful wives waiting for you at home, not to mention Fang Xin and Fang Xia. Do you want them to be fatherless so soon?]
As soon as she finished speaking, without giving Fang Er a chance to retort, she turned and flew rapidly towards the stellar core.
A few hundred meters was only a matter of three to five seconds for a mecha.
Before Fang Er could recover from the kick, Xi Tong had already reached the stellar core.
She immediately threw out two grappling hooks, securing one of the stellar cores.
As for whether it was Earth's stellar core, she had no time to discern!
However, the change happened in an instant. As soon as the grappling hooks gripped the stellar core, she felt as if her body had been hit by a sledgehammer.
Even with the grappling hooks holding her, she was still flung away, and even the alloy grappling hooks were snapped into two pieces.
Mid-air, blood continuously poured from her mouth and nose.
But on Xi Tong's lips, a smile inexplicably curved.
[I get it now!]
Seeing this from a distance, Fang Er dared not hesitate any longer. He immediately rushed forward to catch Xi Tong.
The immense impact force, along with him, slammed them both hard against the rock wall.
"Bang!"
Stone fragments flew, and the two of them rolled for hundreds of meters before finally stopping.
Xi Tong's crash was even more severe than Fang Er's earlier one!
When the mecha opened and they struggled out, both felt heartbroken by each other's injuries.
[You idiot, why did you catch me!]
Xi Tong could no longer speak and could only communicate with Fang Er via brainwaves.
Fang Er chuckled and spat out the blood foam from his mouth.
"I was afraid you'd fall into a pile of dust, and I wouldn't be able to put you back together!"
He took out a pile of medicinal herbs and Treant Fruits from the spatial warehouse, and did to Xi Tong exactly as she had done to him earlier.
Large bowls of medicinal juice, mixed with Treant Fruits, were all poured into Xi Tong's mouth.
But even so, it took them over twenty hours before they regained their mobility.
Only then did Fang Er have the time to inquire.
"You shouted that you understood earlier, what exactly did you understand?"
