Anning opened the main brain and checked the owner and staff of the restaurant.
She thought the staff in the restaurant wouldn’t use such mind-confusing perfu in the elevator.
So, the source of this fragrance is quite thought-provoking.
When the elevator reached the top floor, Anning got on the aircraft, suddenly recalling the man she had just passed by in the elevator had a sowhat abnormal skin color.
She furrowed her brow, considering a possibility.
Flying back to the Xiao Family house, Anning entered her room and closed the door, then started looking up information about the Insect Clan.
The more she searched, the more her heart sank.
She stood up, almost running into Xiao Yuan’s room.
Xiao Yuan’s room was empty.
The healer had just examined his body and recently left.
Anning entered and set up a barrier to prevent others from seeing Xiao Yuan wake up and overhearing her conversation with him.
As Anning approached Xiao Yuan, he slled the fragrance on Anning.
"Have you seen the Humanoid Insect?"
Xiao Yuan asked imdiately.
Anning crouched down, held Xiao Yuan’s hand, helping him rge his spiritual power as she spoke, "Yes, I just passed soone in the restaurant who I found strange. Upon returning, I thought that person should be a Humanoid Insect."
Speaking of this, Anning was quite curious, "How do you know I’ve seen the Humanoid Insect?"
Xiao Yuan sniffed again, "The scent on you is peculiar; it’s a fragrance that easily confuses the mind. It’s a trait evolved from the Humanoid Insect, currently undiscovered by the Alliance. I learned it from the original body’s mory."
Anning knew Xiao Yuan must have inherited so mories from the original body.
The original body had been stationed on Raya Star for years, having had many battles with the Insect Clan and knowing them well.
"Tell about the Humanoid Insect."
Anning was genuinely curious about them.
Xiao Yuan reminisced while telling Anning so things about the Humanoid Insect.
"Never be deceived by their appearance, and don’t get too close to them, or your soul will be controlled by them. Humanoid Insects have very high intelligence and are adept at mind manipulation. They evolve rapidly; hundreds of years ago, their appearance was distinctly different from humans, easily recognizable, but recently they’ve evolved closer to humans. Now, when hidden in human society, they’re not easily detectable."
"That powerful?"
Xiao Yuan nodded, "The Insect Clan evolves quickly. Humanoid Insects are only Sixth-Order Insects; above them are Seventh-stage Insects, Eighth-tier Insects, and Ninth-level Insects, which are formidable foes for humans."
Xiao Yuan sighed, "Another year, and it’s the Insect Clan’s breeding season. We’ve already eliminated the Ninth-level Insect, but it’s unknown what ranking will be bred this ti. If another Ninth-level Insect erges, humanity will be in danger."
Anning withdrew her spiritual power, "Let’s intensify our training. We have a year, and during this year, we’ll train hard to do our best to repel the Insect Clan’s attack."
"Alright."
Xiao Yuan agreed with a smile.
The footsteps in the corridor echoed once more.
Anning quickly stood up and began singing.
Xiao i pushed the door open and walked in.
As she entered, she deliberately slowed her steps, trying not to make a sound.
She stood beside Anning, watching Xiao Yuan on the bed. Suddenly, Xiao i covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming, but her eyes were filled with tears.
After Anning finished singing, Xiao i turned and hugged Anning, sobbing.
Anning patted her back to comfort her, "Don’t cry. What’s wrong? Did soone bully you?"
Xiao i shook her head vigorously, "No, I’m just so happy, really happy. Sister Ning, just now while you sang, my brother smiled. He really smiled. I didn’t see it wrong."
Anning hurriedly asked, "Really? Are you sure you saw him smile?"
Xiao i nodded firmly, "I’m sure."
Anning smiled, "That’s good news, it ans your brother is conscious and responding to us."
Xiao i wiped her tears and started to smile as well.
Anning took Xiao i’s hand and walked out of the room, speaking softly, "Ah i, please don’t tell anyone about this, okay?"
Xiao i asked in confusion, "Why?"
Anning explained softly, "I know everyone in your family is hoping for Marshal Xiao’s recovery. You’ve hoped for so long and had little expectation by now. If you announce he’s improving, they’d be extrely happy. But, his condition is special. We don’t know what will happen; what if it’s not improvent, or in the future... I’m afraid Marshal Xiao and Lady Xiao’s moods would fluctuate greatly and affect their health."
Xiao i thought and realized the truth.
She only saw Xiao Yuan smile, which isn’t certain evidence. It’s better to wait for confirmation of improvent before telling the family.
"Alright."
Xiao i agreed with a smile.
Anning chatted with Xiao i for a while and returned to her room.
Back in her room, Anning called Li Wanwan.
Li Wanwan had been resting at ho lately and answered eagerly, "Ningning, are you okay now? Are you comfortable staying at the Xiao Family house? When do you plan to return?"
Anning replied with a smile, "I’m fine. Mrs. Xiao is very caring, and Xiao i is wonderful too. I’m doing well here and plan to return in a few days."
"That’s good, that’s good."
Li Wanwan had been worried about Anning being uncomfortable or bullied at the Xiao Family house, and kept thinking about it.
Anning chatted with Li Wanwan and ntioned Cui Anlin.
"Mom, I t my brother today."
Speaking of Cui Anlin, a shift showed in Li Wanwan’s expression, "Did he seek you out? What did he say to you?"
Anning replied, "He asked out on behalf of Fang Xiaolian, Mom. My brother is very close to Fang Xiaolian. I found he’s deeply fascinated with her, but Fang Xiaolian seems to be keeping him hanging. Also, while staying at the Xiao Family house, I’ve seen Xiao Gen. Xiao Gen and Fang Xiaolian are also very close. I feel Fang Xiaolian’s thoughts are too deep; she’s using my brother, but I can’t speak to my brother about it."
Anning looked troubled, "Today, he asked to help Fang Xiaolian, to speak well of her among fans. He’s trying to make her gain popularity through , but I can’t refuse directly, so I said so vague things and left."
The more Anning spoke, the angrier Li Wanwan beca.
She had spent years in the entertainnt industry and understood these things well.
Laziness like Fang Xiaolian’s Li Wanwan could see through instantly.
Earlier, she had friends with similar ways as Fang Xiaolian, keeping many people hanging, but eventually faced setbacks.
Li Wanwan’s friend was way craftier than Fang Xiaolian; Fang Xiaolian’s cunning was nothing before Li Wanwan.
"I know what to do about this. Ignore your brother; Fang Xiaolian can’t use your fa. If your brother complains, let him talk to ."
Suppressing her anger, Li Wanwan advised Anning, "Be vigilant, and don’t suffer losses."
