Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Healing the Girl
These two guards, one with a Water Ability and the other with an Ice Ability, definitely had Crystal Cores inside them.
Several people walked past Han Yi, holding daggers, they flipped over the deformed corpses of the Alien Species. One was deformed due to being crushed by spiritual power, while the other was deformed because it was drained of its moisture.
The killing methods of this brother and sister pair against the Alien Species are somehow... eerily unsettling...
While they were extracting the Crystal Cores, the people inside the armored cash transport vehicle also came out one after another. Six people, five men and one woman, all looked very tired. Apart from the only girl in the group, the other five men were covered in blood, looking very unkempt.
When the Crystal Cores were taken out, the expressions of the six people who had come out of the vehicle flickered, as if they had something to say but were hesitating.
The people on Han Yi’s side acted as if they hadn’t noticed, and after cleaning the Crystal Cores, they handed them over to Han Yi. Han Yi took them, then passed them to Han Jiaojiao.
Han Jiaojiao held the Crystal Cores, her emotions stirred. These two cores were very large, only slightly smaller than the one from the Monkey King they had gotten last time. The energy source inside shimmered faintly, very enticing.
Han Jiaojiao thought with longing, hoping that once she absorbed these two Crystal Cores, perhaps she wouldn’t have to look for a breakthrough from the mouths of Alien Species anymore.
The people from the armored vehicle noticed that Han Yi was the leader, and after a brief discussion among themselves, they approached him to greet him.
The man leading them said, "Hello, we are from the Lingchuan Base ability team. Just now... thank you for your help."
The girl behind him gently nudged him, and the man’s face turned red as he said, "Our vehicle broke down, and we can’t drive it. Could you... give us a lift? Once we get to the base, we can compensate you."
Han Yi glanced indifferently at the man, called out "Yan Xiao," and then walked away with Han Jiaojiao in tow.
Such trivial matters didn’t require Han Yi’s personal attention.
Yan Xiao came over with a smile on his face, and replied with ease, "No problem at all, we’re headed to Lingchuan Base ourselves. Let’s go together."
The group expressed their thanks and followed Han Yi back to the convoy.
Lu Changyuan, who had been waiting with his team, saw Han Yi return and asked, "What’s the situation up ahead?"
Yan Xiao cut in and said, "Two guards were taken out by Brother Han and Jiaojiao. These people are from the Lingchuan Base, their vehicle broke down and they can’t get back. They’re asking for a lift."
"Let them get on the military truck," Lu Changyuan said, then looked at Han Yi and continued, "Wei Jie suddenly has a high fever that won’t go down. Should we administer medicine?"
Han Yi asked, "How high is the fever?"
"Forty-one degrees. He has begun to deliriously talk. Zhou Yan and Hao Boming both suggest giving him an injection and an IV to prevent shock from the high fever, which might happen before his Ability awakens."
Han Yi frowned.
Wei Jie was Han Jiaojiao’s friend who had gotten injured while saving her. Now, with the persistent fever, he felt responsible to cure him. If Wei Jie’s fever were a common one, that would be one thing, but if Wei Jie’s fever was due to the awakening of an Ability... then medicine would not only be useless, but it could also endanger him.
Han Jiaojiao, upon hearing this, was about to say that perhaps her own Ability could help Wei Jie, when someone from the Lingchuan Ability Team spoke up before her.
"How about letting me give it a try?"
The one who stepped forward was a charming young girl, appearing to be around Han Jiaojiao’s age, dressed in a pink and orange tracksuit, with an oval face and big eyes, her voice both sweet and crisp.
Her teammate introduced her, "Her name is Anke Wei, she has the Healing Ability."
Anke Wei had a sweet smile on her face, and with her eyes brimming with water, she looked at Han Yi and coyly said, "You can call me Weiwei. May I call you Brother Han?"
If it were any ordinary man being called by such a sweet girl, his bones would probably melt. But Han Yi just knitted his brows and glanced at Anke Wei, then turned to Lu Changyuan and said, "Take her to try."
Anke Wei saw Han Yi’s cold demeanor, a clearly disappointed look appeared on her face. She turned to take one more longing look at Han Yi and reluctantly followed behind Lu Changyuan.
When everyone had left, Han Yi looked down at Han Jiaojiao and discovered her covering her lips with one hand, her eyes blinking rapidly, a playful twinkle in them.
Han Yi couldn’t help but chuckle. He reached for the hand covering her lips and upon pulling it away, sure enough, he saw her lips curled up in a smile.
"Oh, so now you dare to laugh at your brother, hm?"
Unable to hold back any longer, Han Jiaojiao burst into laughter, clinging to Han Yi, "Brother, you’re so charming."
Han Yi gave a light pat on her behind and said in a low voice, "I’ll teach you a lesson tonight."
Han Jiaojiao let out a "ya" and quickly covered her bottom, looking around to see if anyone had noticed her, then whispered with a blushing face, "Bad brother!"
Han Yi chuckled lowly, "How am I bad? Each time I make sure you’re comfortably served first..."
Jiaojiao’s cheeks turned crimson, and in a fluster, she jumped up and stretched out a hand to cover Han Yi’s mouth!
"Don’t say it, don’t say it!"
Han Yi caught her hand and kissed it twice, then pulled her into his embrace and into the car, closing the door behind them.
When Lu Changyuan came back, just as he was about to get in the car, his fingers brushed against the door and, as if possessed, he withdrew them. Then, leaning against the car, he nonchalantly took out a pack of cigarettes, drew one out, and lit it for himself...
Yan Xiao and Bai Kairui came back, laughing and joking, and seeing Lu Changyuan leaning by the car smoking, they asked, "Brother Lu, why aren’t you getting in the car? We’re about to leave."
Lu Changyuan exhaled a ring of smoke, replying indifferently, "No rush, I’ll get in after I finish this one."
Kerry, without suspecting anything, scratched the back of his head and walked towards the driver’s seat, saying as he walked, "Oh, then we’ll get in first."
Yan Xiao’s eyes rolled around, and suddenly, she grabbed the back of Kerry’s collar, dragging him back—
"Uh... Brother Lu, give me one too. Kerry, do you want to smoke one?"
"Ah? I don’t feel like..."
"Hey! You talk too much, just smoke if I tell you to, you can’t smoke while driving later."
"Oh..."
Inside the car, Han Jiaojiao was kissed dizzy by Han Yi. When she faintly heard the voices outside, she felt both shy and anxious, and pushed against Han Yi’s chest. But Han Yi deepened the kiss even more until Jiaojiao nearly suffocated and he, too, reached his breaking point, finally stopping. He still couldn’t resist giving her fullness an affectionate squeeze.
With her face burning hot, Han Jiaojiao glared at Han Yi, annoyed, "Brother!"
How was she supposed to face people later? Even though it was just a kiss, wasn’t it a bit too intense?
Han Yi didn’t say a word, just smiled and handed her a wet wipe. Han Jiaojiao humphed, took the wet wipe, and pressed it against her cheek to cool down. She didn’t want everyone to see her all flushed when they got into the car.
Han Yi straightened her slightly crumpled clothes for her, and then tidied her messy hair. Finally, suppressing his urge to laugh, he said, "You should put some on your lips too.
They’re a bit swollen..."
Han Jiaojiao was stunned, then covered her mouth and quickly bowed her head, murmuring in complaint, "Brother! I hate you!" Everyone would surely laugh at her behind her back if they saw! 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
Han Yi hugged her and cooed softly, "Darling, it’s not that obvious... Or you can lean on me later, no one will notice."
The pair were being affectionate when Zhu Changfu’s booming voice came from outside—
"Kerry! Can you fix cars or not? Come over and help me check this out, why won’t my car start?"
