“Have you achieved Peace of Mind yet?”
Xuan Mo listened to the doctor's helpless tone and responded with a vacant "Mm" before leaving.
The doctor watched Xuan Mo's departing figure, glanced at Ruru in the life pod, and silently walked out.
L Base
"I went to report to the doctor."
Liu You'er had been waiting on the sofa for a long time before seeing Xuan Mo return. However, this dazed appearance surprised her a bit and piqued her curiosity. Nevertheless—
One of her few remaining joys was seeing Xuan Mo unhappy, and since she was in a good mood at the moment, she certainly wouldn't waste this great opportunity to attack him.
When Xuan Mo heard Liu You'er's words, his ears twitched slightly as he headed toward the room. However, after just a couple of steps, he turned around with a sullen expression and walked toward Liu You'er.
Liu You'er continued to smile flamboyantly, though her eyes concealed a hint of threat.
In her palm, a quiet White Lightning was hidden, just waiting for Xuan Mo to make a move. Who would have thought...
"Thud."
He placed two boxes of beer on the coffee table, causing Liu You'er's brows to furrow.
"What are you doing?"
"Smack"
Xuan Mo sat silently beside, opening a can of beer and began to drink it in large gulps, while looking disdainfully at Liu You'er and saying, "I know you can't hold your liquor, just sit there and watch me drink, don't—oh!"
Liu You'er narrowed her eyes slightly. "Is he trying to provoke me? What is this guy up to?!"
She opened a bottle of wine and sniffed it carefully, finding nothing unusual.
"Did he take something?"
"Give it to me!"
Liu You'er watched as the beer in her hand was snatched away, raising an eyebrow as she looked over.
At that moment, Xuan Mo's face was flushed, his gaze hazy, and his brow furrowed. He looked nothing like his usual charming and cunning self; instead, there was a hint of... foolish cuteness?!
"Alright, looks like I was the one who took something."
Liu You'er observed Xuan Mo, who had already downed three cans of beer and was now sprawled on the coffee table with his eyes closed, mumbling incoherently. She still hadn't touched the beer on the table. A cunning glint appeared in her eyes as her Mental Power began to flow steadily into Xuan Mo's mind.
Although she couldn't control humans or Mutant Beasts, let alone this powerful dual-evolutionary with Mental Power and beast control abilities, it should still be possible to get him to answer a few questions honestly while he was in this dazed state.
She gathered her Mental Power and slowly poured it into Xuan Mo's brain. Finally, after half an hour, she broke through a small point in his mental barrier.
"Ha!"
Liu You'er let out a sigh of relief, cautiously looking at Xuan Mo.
"Even in a drunken stupor, his mental defenses are so strong. Not to mention when he's sober. If only I could take advantage of this moment..."
A strong killing intent surged in her eyes as she clawed her hand and reached for his vulnerable neck.
"Ruru!"
Xuan Mo suddenly sat up from the coffee table and shouted into the empty living room, startling Liu You'er, who thought he had regained consciousness and quickly retracted her murderous intent.
However, he turned his head around and, upon realizing that only Liu You'er was there, crawled back onto the coffee table, squinting his eyes in a way that reminded Liu You'er of an animal.
A fox!
Even though he looked harmless now, he still resembled a cunning fox.
"Hey."
Liu You'er leaned back on the sofa and kicked Xuan Mo's shoulder with her foot. Seeing that his attention shifted to her, she lazily asked, "Who is Ruru?"
Mental Power was repelled, as expected—Liu You'er increased the intensity of her Mental Power release.
After a while, Xuan Mo's gaze returned to confusion as he said sadly, "My biological sister."
“Xuan Mo's biological sister?! Tsk tsk—how pitiful—”
Liu You'er showed a hint of curiosity in her eyes, but she didn’t voice her thoughts. Instead, she began to play with her nails, waiting until Xuan Mo's Mental Power was no longer so resistant to her before moving on to the next question.
“How did you meet the doctor?”
“Meet…? Haha—he saved me!”
“You're getting emotional again!”
Liu You'er narrowed her eyes slightly.
“Are you serving him out of gratitude?”
“…”
Xuan Mo remained silent for a long time before softly saying, “Without him, my sister would have mutated…”
Liu You'er looked at the loneliness radiating from him and seemed to guess something, but what did that have to do with her?
“What do you want to get from me? Liu Yue's death is related to you too, right!!!”
Upon hearing this, Xuan Mo frowned slightly as his rationality began to slowly recover, and his mental barriers strengthened once more.
But how could Liu You'er give up this opportunity? Her previous questions were merely to lower his guard; this question was the key!!!
"Doctor, I want to get..."
"Hmm? What do you want to get?"
"Ha, ha, ha~"
Listening to the steady breathing, Liu You'er felt incredibly frustrated. "Finally, finally about to say it, and you actually fell asleep?! Are you kidding me?!"
However, Xuan Mo, who was asleep, could no longer hear Liu You'er's words. This was the first peaceful sleep he had since the apocalypse began. In his dreams, Ruru was still as obedient and understanding as ever.
"Brother, you should grow your hair long."
"...Why?"
"I recently watched an anime where the male lead has long hair and looks incredibly handsome!"
Xuan Mo looked at Xuan Mengru's starry eyes and smiled before giving her a playful flick on the forehead.
"Ouch! That hurts!!! Serves you right for being single!"
"Hey! Where did you learn that? Come here, I won't hit you!"
"Ha, ha~"
Liu You'er was already feeling down, and now seeing the happy smile on Xuan Mo's face made her frustration multiply exponentially!
"Cough, cough."
The sound of friction from Liu You'er’s fists echoed in the air...
"Ugh, it hurts!"
Xuan Mo woke up from his drunken stupor, feeling a severe headache, and the noise around him only made it worse.
Rubbing his temples, he squinted his eyes open.
"Why are there so many people?!"
He suddenly became alert, jumping up from the ground, only to realize he was wearing nothing but his underwear... and he was right in the middle of the market! If it weren't the apocalypse, he would probably be making headlines tomorrow!
Although his mind was a bit muddled from the alcohol, he didn't need to think hard to know who was responsible for this!
"Mommy, mommy, why does that uncle's face have bruises and looks all swollen?"
A little girl looked at him with wide, terrified eyes.
"Nuo Nuo, dear, close your eyes. You'll get styes. Come on, let's not look."
"Liu! You! Er! I'm going to kill you!!!"
"Swish~"
A faint sound of wind echoed, and Xuan Mo vanished from the spot.
At the same time,
"Oh dear~" Liu You'er pulled back the curtains, basking in the warm sunlight, her eyes squinting comfortably, resembling a cute cat soaking up the afternoon sun.
"The weather is really nice today~"
"Knock, knock, knock."
The knocking sound interrupted Liu You'er’s cheerful demeanor, and her bright eyes dimmed slightly as she walked slowly to the door.
"Creak~"
The door opened to reveal an elderly man in a suit, looking sprightly as he stood outside.
Chuze stood silently behind him, glancing at himself before shifting his gaze away.
"Rise~"
Just as Liu You'er quietly criticized Chuze, she noticed him looking at her and quickly put on a smile, politely saying to the elderly man, "It's finally nice to meet you, General Zhang~"
