A31, you say? I rummaged through a ssy cabinet of bottles to finally find the vial labelled A31 and passed it to Lixiang. Here you go.
Thanks. As Id expect of soone as highly intelligent as His Highness. Being able to accurately pinpoint the correct ingredients, without any heed for his own safety whatsoever as well. Such a perfect person No a Deity!
Lixiang can you not do that youre making embarrassed here
Your Highness is too modest. But since Your Highness does not like it, then this one will be more careful in the future. Lixiang answered while continuing to work on her little project. By the way, this one seems to rember seeing Qiaoqiao running out of the room while crying. Did sothing happen, Your Highness?
Oh. Errr I smiled sheepishly. You can say a lot happened
Your Highness, a girls feelings are very delicate. If this matter with Qiaoqiao ends up dragging on, it wont be good. Your Highness should go have a look, its Your Highnesss harem after all.
Cough what do you an harem I quietly eyed Floater from the corner of my eye and found, to my relief, that she did not even bat an eye.
Perhaps she didnt hear our little exchange Speaking of which, I recall Lixiang being pretty close with Qiaoqiao, seeing as Bitong is their common enemy Well, enemy in a loose sense anyway
Giving it a little thought, I found that Lixiangs advice was reasonable, thus I quickly gave Floater an excuse before running after Qiaoqiao.
At the entrance of the lab, Qiaoqiao was still huddled up in Bitongs arms, drying her eyes as Bitong comforted her. The storm seed to be over from the looks of things.
However, the mont Qiaoqiao discovered my presence, she imdiately went red in the cheeks as she glared at . Big brother, you anie!
I Honestly speaking, being treated like an enemy by Qiaoqiao was like having a dagger through my heart.
Was I really that bad?
Big brother bullied ! Qiaoqiao doesnt like you anymore! Go away! Qiaoqiao doesnt want you here! As she started yelling, her tears started to flow again. This ti, the crying was extra piercing.
Sigh our little Qiaoqiao really has a way with words. That was like having a second dagger in my heart Now I feel like crying as well Crap, I think shes really angry with
Bitong leaned and whispered into the girls ears, after which she looked away from with a huff.
Ke, co over here for a second. Bitong said after whispering into Qiaoqiao.
I imdiately ran over, not daring to waste a second more.
Qiaoqiao did not push away, but she kept looking away as before. Was this what they ant by see no evil?
Sis Just as I stopped before the two girls, Bitong nimbly stepped behind , then gave a gentle shove.
Normally, I did not have my guard up against the girls, so when she shoved , my body just fell forward without resistance.
I stumbled a couple of steps forward, falling coincidentally onto Qiaoqiao
Naturally, I wasnt about to hurt the little girl, so I quickly spread my arms open in an impromptu hug
Ah Big brother, what do you think youre doing I was quickly assaulted by Qiaoqiaos distinctive fragrance. Her delicate little body seized up for a second but quickly relaxed herself after recovering from the surprise. She closed her eyes gently and leaned on my chest, ears and cheeks blushing a little.
Hmph. Dont think Qiaoqiao has forgiven you so easily
Eh? So I dont have to apologise for suddenly hugging her? And shes not going to slap for being lecherous? And how did this turn into a question of forgiveness? She seems to have forgiven too.
Eh? h. At least shes quietened down.
Qiaoqiao, its not that I wanted to raise my voice at you I just hope that you can be more accommodating of Floater.
Okay Qiaoqiao will listen to big brother.
Thats it? So all I had to do was give her a hug?
I gingerly asked, And you promise you wont throw a tantrum again?
Mhm.
Then
If big brother keeps pushing his luck, Qiaoqiao will get angry
I guess shes still the sa old Qiaoqiao, almost thought I had it there.
By the ti I was done placating Qiaoqiao, fifteen minutes had passed. When I returned to the lab, I stumbled upon a scene that I would have never thought possible had I not seen it with my own two eyes.
Bitong and Lixiang were currently in the midst of a discussion. The two werent quarrelling for once. In fact, they seed to be hitting it off
Is the world about to implode on itself? What happened to a leopard never changes its spots?
Huh? When did big sister Bitong and big sister Lixiang get along so well? Even Qiaoqiao was caught off-guard by the sudden developnt. But if they are together now what about Qiaoqiao?
What is that supposed to an?
Once I got close to the pair, I overheard a Bitong talking about a bunch of technical mumbo jumbo.
Bio-exosuits are a lot harder than the flesh of their Primal beast sources, thanks to the tal infused into them. But they shouldnt be stronger than our strongest alloy, the Hagridite alloy. Their strongest point would be that they can regenerate. Maybe we can even add on a skeletal carapace of sorts, but the process might be complicated
This one has considered that option before. For now, the practical solution would be to use this nutrient solution as a replacent. A carapace isnt sothing we can complete in the short term. Our defenses are already good enough as is we can put that matter aside for later. Lixiang answered confidently. Hmm. For a mortal, the girl knows a lot.
I am a hacker. I sotis stumble across information normal people wouldnt see.
Actually, this one has been researching this matter in her ho for the past year. But for a variety of reasons, this one hasnt started the experintation phase yet. Who would have thought that this one would suddenly stumble upon such an opportunity.
As we got closer to the petri dish-like vat, we discovered, to our astonishnt, that the unfinished exosuit had undergone radical changes in our absence.
Fifteen minutes ago, the exosuit was still missing a leg and an arm. Right now, it seed like that arm was there from the very beginning. However, its leg was still missing.
