Xiao Lan paused for a moment, “Impossible, that man treats you so well. The others treat you right as well, as though you’re all family.”
Qin Yi did not say a word, pulling Xiao Lan into an embrace. The Origin Space was forever in spring and the sun was shining, unlike the dark and gloomy sky in the apocalypse. Being in here made her very comfortable.
Qin Yi sat on the floor and took in a whiff of the fragrance coming from the green grass.
Qin Yi caressed Xiao Lan’s feathery head and spoke with a voice that contained loneliness without realizing it, “You’re right that they treat me well, but their relationship with Chuchu is over a decade long while they’ve only been with me for a few months. If you were to swap places with them, would you stand by my side?”
Xiao Lan shook its head. It would not. Between the decades of feelings it had for its master and a relationship formed over a few months, it would definitely choose its master. And if its master got into trouble because of some friend, it would definitely blame the friend.
But it was different with Qin Yi. The two of them were bound by a soul contract and their feelings for each other were more than that of master and servant.
“Now you get it. I need to recover my abilities, so I won’t slow them down. If anything happens, hostility between us will be inevitable.” Qin Yi paused as her eyes gleamed with a profound light, “Besides, I have a feeling that Chuchu and I will be at odds.”
Xiao Lan understood her but was still unwilling to do it. Lowering its head in reluctance, it asked, “Yiyi, must we do this? Isn’t there a better way?”
Qin Yi shook her head: “No, this is currently the fastest and most effective method. Don’t worry, I’ll be careful, and I even have the Origin space. If it fails, I can hide inside here. Xiao Lan, this isn’t for them but for me.”
Xiao Lan used its small claws to tug onto Qin Yi’s clothes, “But I have never sealed part of a person’s brain before. If I fail, your injury will become even worse. And this seal, which only treats the issue, not the cause, will make your abilities revert to grade three. You won’t be able to use your mental abilities. Furthermore, when you want to unseal your brain, you will sustain an even more severe backlash that will take at least three months to recover from. Also, if you sustain any serious provocation during this period and the seal gets undone, your brain will suffer an immense attack.”
Xiao Lan was listing the dangers of sealing the mind, wanting Qin Yi to give up on the idea.
Qin Yi knew of the consequences, which were similar to sealing a person’s emotions. The longer they were sealed, the stronger the backlash. But this time, she had to take the risk.
It was hard to explain it, it was just that she felt that this mission would not go smoothly and would only feel safer with her abilities.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself.”
Seeing how persistent Qin Yi was, Xiao Lan was somewhat discouraged. It hated Yun Huan so badly, as the reason for Qin Yi’s decision was his insistence on going with her. Otherwise, Yiyi would not have to use such an extreme method.
Upon thinking of this, Xiao Lan subconsciously blurted it out.
Qin Yi was silent, understanding Yun Huan’s reasoning for the team going together. In fact, she agreed with it. She was also looking forward to meeting Chuchu and had the feeling that she had to make the trip as well.
“Alright, I got it. I will seal a part of your brain, but you have to promise me, if you encounter any danger that you can’t resolve, you have to enter the Origin Space immediately,” Xiao Lan eventually reached a compromise.
“Alright, I promise you,” Qin Yi touched Xiao Lan’s feathers and consoled it.
