Chapter 705: So We’re Not Fighting?

A31, you say? I rummaged through a messy cabinet of bottles to finally find the vial labelled A31 and passed it to Lixiang. Here you go.

Thanks. As Id expect of someone as highly intelligent as His Highness. Being able to accurately pinpoint the correct ingredients, without any heed for his own safety whatsoever as well. Such a perfect person No a Deity!

Lixiang can you not do that youre making me embarrassed here

Your Highness is too modest. But since Your Highness does not like it, then this one will be more careful in the future. Lixiang answered while continuing to work on her little project. By the way, this one seems to remember seeing Qiaoqiao running out of the room while crying. Did something happen, Your Highness?

Oh. Errr I smiled sheepishly. You can say a lot happened

Your Highness, a girls feelings are very delicate. If this matter with Qiaoqiao ends up dragging on, it wont be good. Your Highness should go have a look, its Your Highnesss harem after all.

Cough what do you mean harem I quietly eyed Floater from the corner of my eye and found, to my relief, that she did not even bat an eye.

Perhaps she didnt hear our little exchange Speaking of which, I recall Lixiang being pretty close with Qiaoqiao, seeing as Bitong is their common enemy Well, enemy in a loose sense anyway

Giving it a little thought, I found that Lixiangs advice was reasonable, thus I quickly gave Floater an excuse before running after Qiaoqiao.

At the entrance of the lab, Qiaoqiao was still huddled up in Bitongs arms, drying her eyes as Bitong comforted her. The storm seemed to be over from the looks of things.

However, the moment Qiaoqiao discovered my presence, she immediately went red in the cheeks as she glared at me. Big brother, you meanie!

I Honestly speaking, being treated like an enemy by Qiaoqiao was like having a dagger through my heart.

Was I really that bad?

Big brother bullied me! Qiaoqiao doesnt like you anymore! Go away! Qiaoqiao doesnt want you here! As she started yelling, her tears started to flow again. This time, the crying was extra piercing.

Sigh our little Qiaoqiao really has a way with words. That was like having a second dagger in my heart Now I feel like crying as well Crap, I think shes really angry with meFindd new stories at novelhall.com

Bitong leaned and whispered into the girls ears, after which she looked away from me with a huff.

Then

If big brother keeps pushing his luck, Qiaoqiao will get angry

I guess shes still the same old Qiaoqiao, almost thought I had it there.

By the time I was done placating Qiaoqiao, fifteen minutes had passed. When I returned to the lab, I stumbled upon a scene that I would have never thought possible had I not seen it with my own two eyes.

Bitong and Lixiang were currently in the midst of a discussion. The two werent quarrelling for once. In fact, they seemed to be hitting it off

Is the world about to implode on itself? What happened to a leopard never changes its spots?

Huh? When did big sister Bitong and big sister Lixiang get along so well? Even Qiaoqiao was caught off-guard by the sudden development. But if they are together now what about Qiaoqiao?

What is that supposed to mean?

Once I got close to the pair, I overheard a Bitong talking about a bunch of technical mumbo jumbo.

Bio-exosuits are a lot harder than the flesh of their Primal beast sources, thanks to the metal infused into them. But they shouldnt be stronger than our strongest alloy, the Hagridite alloy. Their strongest point would be that they can regenerate. Maybe we can even add on a skeletal carapace of sorts, but the process might be complicated

This one has considered that option before. For now, the practical solution would be to use this nutrient solution as a replacement. A carapace isnt something we can complete in the short term. Our defenses are already good enough as is we can put that matter aside for later. Lixiang answered confidently. Hmm. For a mortal, the girl knows a lot.

I am a hacker. I sometimes stumble across information normal people wouldnt see.

Actually, this one has been researching this matter in her home for the past year. But for a variety of reasons, this one hasnt started the experimentation phase yet. Who would have thought that this one would suddenly stumble upon such an opportunity.

As we got closer to the petri dish-like vat, we discovered, to our astonishment, that the unfinished exosuit had undergone radical changes in our absence.

Fifteen minutes ago, the exosuit was still missing a leg and an arm. Right now, it seemed like that arm was there from the very beginning. However, its leg was still missing.
