The Li Family has some damn rotten luck, but Fang Yu couldnât be bothered about it.
He simply owed a debt of gratitude to Li Baizhen, and if within his capabilities, he wanted to save the man.
Now, however, the man didnât want to save himself, so what could Fang Yu do? Why bother at all? All effort wasted!
Such a weak will to live, whatâs the matter, Li Baizhen, you werenât like this before.
Fang Yu fell silent, unspoken.
It was then when Lord Ding Hui suddenly spoke up.
"Donât you want to live? What about your sister then?"
Li Baizhen was stunned.
"What do you mean?"
"The human body is a complex thing, the prolonged modifications have only depleted her lifespan. Not to mention, it wasnât achieved overnight but over many years through constant patchwork by your father Li Pincheng. The lingering injuries from this process could have killed her dozens of times over; itâs only because your father Li Pincheng suppressed them with some methods. But suppression is only temporary, she doesnât have long to live."
Li Baizhenâs complexion changed.
Previously seeking death could be due to guilt or other emotions, but now, he needed to save someone.
"Please, Lord Ding Hui, save my sister!"
Ding Hui narrowed his eyes.
"Cooperate with my research, and if lucky, I might extend her life by a year and a half. If even luckier, after my research is complete, successfully changing her blood might let her live five or six more years."
Li Baizhen bowed his head and said,
"What should I do? All at Lord Ding Huiâs command!"
See, this is professionalism!
In just a few words, he has the person under his control!
Fang Yu looked towards Ding Hui, who was slowly standing up, saying,
"Survive, fully resist being devoured by Li Xunxue, maintain your sense of self, thatâs what I want you to do. Your survival is useful to my research."
"...Yes!"
Giving up resistance was to compensate for the years of failing to care for his sister.
Fully resisting was so that she could live, even if just for a few more years.
"One more thing, tell me everything about how you entered the Li Family and ended up like this."
Ding Hui was very interested in the research of Li Pincheng.
Sadly, Li Baizhenâs perspective was limited, mostly imprisoned or unconscious, so the information provided was very little.
Even so, it allowed Ding Hui to come up with quite a few new conjectures.
Just right, to verify some tomorrow.
"Iâm tired today, Iâll leave now, and return tomorrow. I will wake you up then; there are some experiments that need you to control her body to assist me."
"Yes, everything as Lord Ding Hui arranges."
"Mm."
Ding Hui nodded.
At this moment, Li Baizhen looked towards Fang Yu, about to say something when suddenly his eyelids heavily drooped, and he fainted.
Fang Yu: ???
"What happened to him?"
"The main entity in that body is still Li Xunxue, Li Baizhenâs time to come out is limited."
I see. He turned back to look at Ding Hui, who even hadnât bothered
Fang Yu nodded thoughtfully.
No matter what, they had captured the person and controlled her, everything was moving towards a good direction.
The only concern was the Li Family coming to claim the person.
Might need... to meet Brother Qing.
After Li Baizhen fainted, Fang Yu called Qian Guxing to bring people for guarding.
Considering Liu Ningranâs earlier mishap, he also told Qian Guxing to keep the guards far away, just responsible for checking if there was any movement.
"Thatâs not necessary."
Ding Hui administered something to Li Xunxue.
"This should slow her recovery."
Fang Yu curiously asked, "What did you feed her?"
"A chronic poison that suppresses blood coagulation. Her abilities mainly derive from her blood, bone regeneration is just a derivation nurtured by the blood."
Playing with blood, huh...
Fang Yu thought of Li Shisan.
That woman is also from the Li Family, also dealing with blood, her Blood Burst could even strip perception, and she could instantly return to her original location, quite strange.
But Li Xunxue clearly didnât possess such techniques.
Thinking deeply, Fang Yu suddenly realized, what status does Li Xunxue hold in the Li Family compared to Li Shisan, they are not even on the same level.
One is a female Trialist of the Li Family, the other is an experimental subject in the hands of a Trialist, completely unequal existences.
Naturally, Li Xunxue wouldnât have access to those weird family Cultivation Techniques of the Li Family, she wasnât qualified.
"Diao Deyi..."
After handling Li Xunxueâs matter, Qian Guxing hesitantly spoke up.
Fang Yuâs mind stirred, asking Ding Hui to wait for him at the door.
"Shall I leave first?"
Ding Hui spoke, but was so wobbly while walking, almost falling, thankfully Fang Yu was quick to catch him.
"Wait for me, letâs go together."
Fang Yu stared into Ding Huiâs eyes, the latter blinked, then slightly nodded.
"Alright."
Supported by the prison guard, Ding Hui moved unsteadily towards the door.
In such a state, he still thought about going home alone.
Fang Yu slightly shook his head.
If anything happened to Ding Hui, he would feel terrible.
Qian Guxing watched all this, his expression unconsciously became gloomy, only hurriedly squeezed out a smile seeing Fang Yu approaching.
"Diao Deyi, want to take a tour of the Prison?"
"Sure."
Itâs been a while since he last came, just in time to see what demons or monsters needed a few slashes from him.
Now with the Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling, even high-health criminals canât escape, just chop!
Fang Yu plotted in his mind.
As for the Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling, that sleeve, always tied on the outside was quite conspicuous, Fang Yu had long secretly moved it inside his sleeve, like a wrist protector, bandage-like, wrapped around his wrist, then covered by the sleeve.
