Chapter 103: Sai Fulola 19

"The outer skin of this vine is so hard, maybe we could take it back and make something for self‑defense. If we don't use it all, we could even sell it to the Federation and others—the price shouldn't be low," Ye Xi'an has always been clear about the concept of waste utilization.

When her social anxiety keeps her from going out, she can't bear to throw away anything except trash, always feeling it could be used for something else.

For example, a soda bottle can hold flowers, a shoe box can store things, and this vine looks far more useful than a bottle or a box; if we could make clothing from it, we'd be unstoppable.

Yi Yang worshipfully looks at Ye Xi'an, not sparing any praise: "Wife, you're thinking way too comprehensively!"

He then says, a bit regretfully, "It's just that the outer skin of this vine is so hard, we can't move it at all."

Lin Zhi Jing clutches his wound; his ability is exhausted, and he can no longer heal himself: "Don't worry, I know how to cut it."

Actually, you just need to cut along the inner texture of the vine's sieve tubes, and it opens easily; that's how he just now sliced a gap from the inside with a knife.

"Great!" Ye Xi'an slaps her thigh, forgetting her leg wound hasn't fully healed, and the pain makes her burst into tears.

Yi Yang, feeling sorry, kneels and blows on Ye Xi'an's leg wound, eyes full of concern: "Wife, why are you hurting yourself? Your legs are already sore."

Ye Xi'an's face flushes bright red; only the outside is covered by an iron shell Lin Zhi Jing put on her, but she's wearing nothing underneath, and Yi Yang's action makes her genuinely uncomfortable.

"Alright, alright, stop blowing," Ye Xi'an pushes away Yi Yang, who is puffing on her leg like a little fool, and walks toward the spatial gate.

As she passes the Qiu family, she halts and quietly looks toward them.

Qiu Yi turns their back to Ye Xi'an, feeling the gaze behind them, and the bomb they were about to throw hovers suspended in midair.

True females never fear confronting embarrassment.

She stylishly throws away the playing cards in her hand, pushes up with her crossed legs, stands up directly from the ground, and with a touch of helplessness turns, "If you blame me—" she says.

Before the sentence is finished, Ye Xi'an walks over and embraces Qiu Yi.

Hugging the rich‑lady sister's body feels just comfortable.

"I don't blame you; I'm just too willful, and I know you treat me well."

If Qiu Yi were unkind to her, they would probably have killed her the moment she deliberately provoked a monster, since no one wants to keep someone who only brings trouble.

But Qiu Yi not only didn't blame her; at the last moment they even asked if she wanted to leave with them, and Ye Xi'an truly felt Qiu Yi's goodwill.

Qiu Yi, being held by Ye Xi'an, is much taller than her, so she can only slightly bend her waist and perch on Ye Xi'an's shoulder.

Listening to Ye Xi'an's soft, mushy voice and feeling the body she's holding as soft as a marshmallow, the aloof big‑sister's face can't help but show a slightly lewd smile.

How can these sisters be so cute and so moe?

Ye Xi'an lets her go, and she immediately puts on a cold face, maintaining her aloof persona.

"Actually, I still have something to tell you," Ye Xi'an says, her delicate eyebrows lifting slightly into a curved shape.

She decides to tell Qiu Yi the truth, to apologize properly, but night is falling, and Lin Zhi Jing still has blood on him, so they can't delay any longer.

"When we get back, I'll come find you and tell you then, okay?"

"Sure~," Qiu Yi replies almost instantly, eager for Ye Xi'an to come find her.

A group of people strides away from Sai Fulola; after they leave, the spot where the Mutant Vines' remains lay stirs, several plants twitching greedily, sucking up the disgusting liquid on the ground.

"I'm back."

The first to emerge from the spatial gate is Hei Yao; his tense spirit finally relaxes a bit, he shakes his neck, stands aside, and respectfully waits for Qiu Yi to come out.

The next second, Qiu Yi walks out holding Ye Xi'an.

Following closely are Yi Yang, who couldn't hold Ye Xi'an's hand because Qiu Yi took the spot, and the pale‑faced Lin Zhi Jing.

"Lin Zhi Jing is injured; I'll take him for treatment first. Qiu Yi, you go home first; I'll come find you to hang out later."

Qiu Yi is a bit reluctant to part so soon; she wants to chat longer with Ye Xi'an, ask how she dealt with the Mutant Vines, and why she's so brave.

"You let your husband take him to the Medical Bay; this superficial wound can be healed with a bit of money, no need for you to go."

"No," Ye Xi'an thinks that what she needs to do now isn't just taking Lin Zhi Jing for treatment; there are many other tasks, so she must first keep Qiu Yi occupied.

"Fine, fine," Qiu Yi glances at Lin Zhi Jing, her aloof face showing a hint of complaint: "Prioritizing romance over friendship."

Saying that, she darts off with her husband, leaving not a single cloud behind.

After she can no longer see the back of Qiu Yi's black leather jacket, Ye Xi'an finally asks.

"Where's the Medical Bay Qiu Yi mentioned earlier?"

The name itself suggests it's a place for treating injuries.

"It's right here on the third underground level."

Bao Jing and Ji Jiangci support Lin Zhi Jing; due to severe blood loss, he's already weak in his limbs and can only be propped up.

Ye Xi'an looks worriedly at Lin Zhi Jing: "Then let's go quickly."

Ji Jiangci, not in a hurry, says: "The Medical Bay is expensive."

Usually only when a female is injured or a male is near death does a family go to the Medical Bay for treatment.

"Expensive is fine; if it weren't for Lin Zhi Jing, we'd all be dead," Ye Xi'an says reproachfully to Ji Jiangci.

Ji Jiangci is good at everything, handling every detail—from the hall to the kitchen—and when it comes to money, he's downright ruthless, counting every coin.

Ji Jiangci also realizes his misstep, yet still feels money shouldn't be spent on someone outside the family, especially since the Medical Bay is so pricey; buying some medicine would suffice, but he yields to Ye Xi'an's request: "It's my fault, let's go."

A few of them carry the nearly unconscious Lin Zhi Jing into the elevator and descend to the third underground level.

When the elevator doors open, the blinding white light outside makes Ye Xi'an automatically shut her eyes, uncomfortable with the intense illumination.

After gradually adjusting, she opens her eyes and sees the so‑called Medical Bay's exterior.

The Medical Bay's outer wall is made of smooth white alloy, its surface reflecting a gentle cold light, as if a thin layer of frost coats it.

The walls have no superfluous decoration, only a few almost invisible seams hinting at hidden doors or panels.

The floor is likewise covered with white tiles, the whole décor simple and tidy.

Inside the Medical Bay, rows upon rows of capsule‑shaped units stretch endlessly in orderly arrangement.

Ye Xi'an casually selects a capsule unit, which has an electronic panel on it.
