Aurora, "...You won't take my word for it, so why not conduct a little experint? Try cutting off a finger—or, if you're feeling bold, a leg."
"..."
Wang Xiao's silence stretched as he mulled over Aurora's proposition, his mind wrestling with the implications of what she suggested.
What kind of ga was she playing?
And more importantly, what were the rules?
"If it doesn't heal, I'll heal it for you," Aurora offered, seemingly unfazed by the gravity of her own suggestion.
Wang Xiao broke his silence, his curiosity piqued despite his reservations. "Show ," he demanded.
"Huh?" Aurora blinked, taken aback. "Show you what?"
"Prove that you can heal a severed finger," Wang Xiao clarified, his gaze fixed on her, searching for any sign of deceit.
Aurora's response ca with a nod, an acceptance of his challenge.
She extended her hand in front of him, the moonlight casting a gentle glow over her skin.
With her other hand, she plucked a blade of grass, which miraculously morphed into a sharp blade right before his eyes.
Swoosh!
Under Wang Xiao's watchful gaze, Aurora's thumb was cleanly severed.
Remarkably, there was no blood, only the stark reality of her digit lying separate from her hand.
Then, with a calmness that belied the astonishing nature of her actions, she picked up her thumb and reattached it.
Within monts, it was as if the thumb had never been severed, the seam between flesh seamlessly nded.
"Do I need to show it again?" Aurora asked, her tone casual as if she had just perford a trivial party trick.
Wang Xiao's expression hardened, a mix of awe and renewed caution settling over him. "No need," he managed to say, his eyes unconsciously drifting to the back of her head.
Despite the strangeness of the situation, he couldn't help but notice the serene aura she exuded, the pleasant scent of her hair filling his senses.
It was clear that Aurora possessed a patience and a depth that Wang Xiao had rarely encountered amongst woman.
Maybe Bing Xueli, but this one was even better.
Wait!
She just revealed the truth of Greek mythology, a tale dating back four thousand years?
As Wang Xiao began connecting the dots, a conclusion ford: this girl must be akin to Bing Xueli, enduring through centuries!
Yes, that must be it!
However, before he could delve deeper into this train of thought, he was abruptly brought back to the present by a rather mundane action.
"Be quick," Aurora's voice, laced with impatience, broke his reverie as she began removing his shoes.
!!
The sudden, unexpected contact—the feel of her slender, soft fingers brushing against his skin—jolted Wang Xiao, freezing him in a mix of surprise and mild discomfort.
"What are you doing?" he asked, his voice carrying a note of unease. This was not how he had envisioned their interaction progressing.
Aurora's response was direct, her focus singular. "Cut your thumb, and let show you. Don't waste ti. You value ti, so why waste?"
Her logic, though bizarre in the context of their current activity, was oddly compelling.
Wang Xiao found himself questioning the logic—or lack thereof—behind Aurora's actions.
This creature's thought process seed foreign, her approach to problem-solving unconventional at best.
Yet, his curiosity was piqued, overriding his initial hesitance.
Swish!
With a reluctant focus, he concentrated on his toe—and in an instant, the toe was severed, blood marking the sudden separation.
A sharp pain shot through him, causing his brows to furrow in a brief display of discomfort.
Though initially taken aback by the sudden healing of his toe, Wang Xiao's astonishnt gave way to intrigue. "What now?" he asked, seeking to understand the chanics behind this unexpected phenonon.
"Just put it back," Aurora suggested with an air of simplicity, as if reattaching severed limbs was an everyday occurrence.
Using his psychokinetic abilities, Wang Xiao maneuvered the severed toe back into place.
Whoosh!
To his amazent, a stream of soothing, almost ethereal water enveloped the wound, mirroring the experience with his hand. Within monts, not only was the toe reattached, but Wang Xiao also regained full sensation and movent.
"What the—?!" Wang Xiao exclaid, his rational mind fighting with the impossibility of what had just occurred.
It was clear to him that this healing wasn't Aurora's doing; the absence of water during her own demonstration was proof of that.
"That's Mimi," Aurora explained, her voice carrying a note of fondness. "She's one of us."
"One of you???" Wang Xiao echoed, his curiosity piqued.
Aurora's smile widened slightly. "I'm not sure how you two crossed paths, but she's using your body as a host. She's never done that before, as it poses a risk to her own existence. You could potentially kill her, which ans she has chosen you. I find that amusing."
Wang Xiao's eyes twitched at the revelation. "How does this Mimi look?" he inquired, eager to understand more about the entity that had seemingly chosen him as a host.
"She's beautiful," Aurora began, her description painting the image of an ethereal being. "Her skin is like that of a real fairy, untouched..."
Bewildered with the vague description, Wang Xiao pressed for more tangible details. "Can you tell sothing more useful?"
Aurora nodded, her gaze thoughtful. "Her hair reflects the rainbow."
"Rainbow?" Wang Xiao repeated.
!!!
The girl on the ship!
The ntion of 'rainbow hair" caused a lightbulb mont for Wang Xiao.
That mysterious encounter suddenly made sense.
Aurora watched his realization unfold, a subtle shift in her deanor suggesting she was gauging his reaction.
"You rember her?" Aurora probed, her voice carrying a blend of curiosity and caution.
"Yes," Wang Xiao confird, his mind racing to piece together the implications of this discovery.
Aurora simply nodded, her expression unreadable, choosing not to delve deeper into his mories.
Wang Xiao pressed on, driven by a need to understand the bizarre situation he found himself in. "You said she is one of you. What does that an, and how can she live inside my body without noticing?"
The concept that Mimi could inhabit his body so seamlessly was baffling, especially considering Yin Yue's silence on the matter.
