“You're just like a sea demon in the deep sea – mysterious, and whatever happens to you wouldn't be a surprise. Boss was determined to let you eat the rank nine beastman's beast core, but he was also worried.”

Lin Bai leaned forward slightly; his gentle, foxy eyes were glistening.

They had known from the start that Qin Yi wasn't a simple person. She had many secrets, which included the very strange Xiao Lan, and many more.

They had lived together for such a long time and it was impossible for her not to give herself away slightly.

However, they all chose not to probe.

Qin Yi didn't respond. At that moment, Yun Huan brought over the strawberries that he had washed. The fresh strawberries were very clean, even the leaves at the top were dug out very nicely.

He sat down and placed Qin Yi on his lap as he fed her a strawberry.

“Don't worry, I will not imprison you. After you recover, I will let you leave.”

Qin Yi swallowed the strawberry in silence. It was a very sweet strawberry, yet she found it sour – it didn't taste good at all.

Yun Huan fed Qin Yi the strawberries patiently and wiped the corners of her lips when she was done.

“It's bustling outside today; do you want to take a look? There is quite a bit of inhibition medicine in your system and it will take a few days to get rid of it all. But after it's gone, this medicine won't have any effect on you in the future.”

Qin Yi finally looked at Yun Huan, asking him, “How do you know?”

She had lived during the apocalypse for ten years, yet she didn't know that this medicine could only be used once, so how did Yun Huan know about this?

In her previous life, she had heard about this type of medicine, but had never seen it before, so obviously she wouldn't know about this piece of information.

Yun Huan was glad, very happy that Qin Yi was speaking to him. His deep, beautiful, peach blossom eyes were sparkling, watery, and even emotional. This made Yun Huan's chiseled face seem much more charming and gentle.

“Hm… I got infected once before,” Yun Huan said casually, like it wasn't a big deal.

After that, Lin Bai found out that Yun Huan almost didn't make it back that time. During these five years, Yun Huan would accompany Qin Yi for a few days every month, but it wasn't so simple – Yun Huan also gave Qin Yi beast cores.

There was a type of plant beastman that was a man and spider lily fused together. The beast core from this type of beastman had a miraculous effect – it could slow down the aging of an ability user.

But this type of beastmen was very rare, so Yun Huan would have to hunt for a beastman like that every month. Although he didn't find one every time, he would always immediately give it to Qin Yi when he did.

The snow mountain was certainly able to preserve Qin Yi's body, but only to a certain extent, while the spider lily beastman's beast core could nourish Qin Yi's internally and better preserve her body.

There was one time while Yun Huan was on the hunt for a spider lily beastman, that he fell into someone's trap and his ability was suppressed. The beast core was s.n.a.t.c.hed away, but in the end, he took back the beast core and was almost killed as a result.

When the effect of the drug wore off, he deliberately paid attention to this medicine. After several rounds of investigation, he found out that this was a type of medicine that had just been developed, able to control the ability user's ability for the time being.

In order to take precautions against this medicine, Yun Huan made a bottle of it. However, in the end, he found out that it wouldn't work on him anymore.

After many tests, he finally found out that the drug had a defect: as long as you had taken this medicine once, you would be immune to it next time.
