Chapter 737 Xin Xiao, secretly alarmed
"Squeak—!"
Xin Xiao suddenly stood up, and the metal chair he was sitting on was pushed backward, making a screeching sound.
When Bai Mianmian came to her senses, she saw that he had already stood in front of Han Feitong, looking at her warily.
The moment she came to her senses, the oppressive aura emanating from her vanished just as unexpectedly as it had appeared before.
Xin Xiao felt a slight sense of relief, but the wariness on his face did not lessen. He took a light breath and said, "Madam, we..."
We really can't get in touch with our boss.
He didn't say those last words aloud.
He didn't want to experience that oppressive feeling, which was no less than facing a 4S-level Zerg, a second time.
He was also afraid that Bai Mianmian would once again radiate murderous intent towards them, or even cause those exploding mushrooms to grow on their bodies.
After a pause, Xin Xiao continued, "It's been almost two years since we arrived in the Marai system. We've thought of and tried countless methods, and even considered going through a wormhole to return to the Tianqi system."
At this point, a clear look of disappointment appeared on Xin Xiao's face. He said in a low voice, "But we've never succeeded, and we haven't been able to contact the old... Tianqi Star System."
Xin Xiao glanced quickly at Bai Mianmian, and seeing that she showed no signs of anger, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he changed his mind quickly and didn't directly say the words "boss".
Bai Mianmian looked at Xin Xiao, who was on high alert, and noticed that Pan Cheng and the others had stopped organizing the registration materials and were now looking at her warily.
Even Xu Ge, who had just been hopping around in place clutching his foot, was now standing firmly on the ground, whether the pain in his foot had subsided or he had endured the excruciating pain, and he was looking at me with the same wary expression.
Bai Mianmian withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyes slightly, then took a sip of lemon tea. Under everyone's wariness, she said in a calm voice, "Yes, I understand."
It seems we need to finish this as soon as possible before traveling through the wormhole back to the Apocalypse Galaxy.
I should be able to go back, right...?
Seeing that she was quietly drinking the ice water in her hand and no longer releasing any oppressive or murderous aura, Xin Xiao's tense body couldn't help but relax slightly.
Finally, it makes sense.
Seeing that the situation was not getting worse, Xu Ge, Pan Cheng, and the others continued to register and organize the information.
If we finish quickly and send them away sooner, we won't have to constantly worry that the lady might suddenly attack them.
Meanwhile, Xin Xiao looked at Bai Mianmian, who appeared calm and composed, and was unsure whether he should sit down and continue the deal that hadn't yet been discussed, or leave first and wait for her to finish her ice water and calm down before returning to continue the conversation.
Before long, Xin Xiao made a decision. He secretly gave Han Feitong behind him a hand gesture.
When Han Feitong saw that gesture, a look of reluctance immediately appeared on her face.
Let yourself leave first.
Is he planning to confront that woman alone?
Although I'm not very strong, staying here is still more advantageous than him being alone.
But an order is an order, and even if Han Feitong was unwilling, she could only reluctantly and slowly retreat.
Xin Xiao's plan was to wait until Bai Mianmian finished drinking the ice water in her hand and calmed down before coming over to discuss the purification potion with her.
After all, he knew perfectly well how unacceptable the amount of purification potion he intended to leave behind was.
He feared that Bai Mianmian, already in a bad mood, would simply send him a few exploding mushrooms after hearing how many he wanted to stay, sending him straight to the afterlife. But he was genuinely unwilling to give up and ask for fewer purification potions, because each additional potion meant saving another companion's life.
Therefore, those purification agents are really important to them!
Han Feitong's slow retreat was silent, but it still immediately caught Bai Mianmian's attention.
When Xin Xiao saw her gaze fall on Han Feitong, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Ahem, she has something to do. If you have something to say, you can tell me."
Xin Xiao originally planned to wait until Han Feitong was far enough away before telling Bai Mianmian that he needed to leave.
Unexpectedly, she noticed Han Feitong's retreating movement so quickly.
Even though she had completely shielded them behind her, she still managed to notice, which shows that she had been wary of each and every one of them.
Thinking deeper, haven't those mushrooms that can grow anytime, anywhere already taken root in their bodies?
Xin Xiao was secretly alarmed.
Completely unaware of what the person opposite her was imagining, Bai Mianmian withdrew her gaze upon hearing his words.
Just when Xin Xiao thought that the matter had been glossed over, he suddenly noticed that Bai Mianmian was looking at him again.
"!?" Xin Xiao's breathing paused almost imperceptibly.
"What was the deal you just mentioned?" Bai Mianmian asked in a calm and unhurried tone.
"!" At that moment, Xin Xiao's breath caught in his throat.
She actually brought this up herself, so should he tell her directly, or try to change the subject?
Han Feitong, who was still backing away, suddenly stopped and looked at Xin Xiao with worry in her eyes.
"Hmm?" Bai Mianmian asked in surprise when she saw Xin Xiao looking shocked and even holding his breath.
Was there anything wrong with what she just said?
Xin Xiao snapped back to reality, his breathing returning to normal at the same time, but he couldn't bring himself to say it honestly, "..."
Because he was unsure whether he could bear the consequences of telling the truth.
Bai Mianmian waited for a while, and seeing that he seemed about to fall silent, she frowned slightly and said, "I have limited time. If you don't want to talk, then..."
"Wait." Xin Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stopped her from saying what she was about to say.
Bai Mianmian was not annoyed by the sudden interruption, nor did she intend to continue speaking. She looked at Xin Xiao with a calm gaze.
"Madam." Xin Xiao looked up and met Bai Mianmian's gaze directly, his voice firm and powerful, but the words that were about to come out caught in his throat.
Bai Mianmian: "..."
Is it really that hard for him to say what he wants to say?
Xin Xiao hesitated for a moment, then pulled the chair he had just knocked away back, sat down, and looked at Bai Mianmian with a serious expression.
He said with a serious expression, "This matter is very important to our Second Legion, so if what I say later makes you unhappy, please don't be angry. We can talk again."
“…You say it.” Bai Mianmian was so taken aback by his expression that she couldn’t help but become a little more serious as well.
However, her serious expression was not as good as her cold and indifferent demeanor just now.
At least it wouldn't give Xin Xiao another fright.
“…Madam, it’s like this.” Xin Xiao took a deep breath to calm her slightly rapid heartbeat.
He looked at Bai Mianmian with a serious expression and said, "In the research institute's warehouse, we discovered the latest purification agent on the market, which can achieve a purification rate of 59.9% against mental pollutants."
Xin Xiao originally thought that these words would at least elicit a look of shock or surprise on Bai Mianmian's face.
However, the result disappointed him.
