Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 369 - : A Man’s Pride!
Chapter 369: Chapter 369: A Man’s Pride!
The little assistant didn’t even think before shaking its head repeatedly.
“No, this situation is absolutely impossible. Firstly, our previous research on the active nerves of the Immortal Bug concluded that it has the ability to heal people quickly, but now the symptoms are total body stiffness, which just doesn’t make sense…”
Before it could finish, Qi Yue rolled her eyes.
“What do you mean ‘our research’? I’ve been busy, and it’s been you doing the research all along, okay? And having me catch Immortal Bugs for you!”
“Uh…” The assistant paused for a moment but then spread its hands.
“That’s true, but I and the master are one, I am your robot, so it’s essentially the discovery of both of us…”
Seeing that the little assistant would drag the conversation on endlessly, Qi Yue wordlessly twitched the corner of her mouth and immediately steered the conversation back on track.
“Okay, you’ve talked about first, now let’s hear the second thing!”
“It was the master who interrupted me, wasn’t it?”
Looking at the assistant, it wanted to shrug its shoulders, but its structural design didn’t allow for that, so it just spread its hands again.
Qi Yue was really fed up and rolled her eyes helplessly.
“Then let’s not talk about it, you handle the experiment to see under which conditions they cause living things to stiffen, or die? I’m tired and need to rest.”
The little assistant immediately said, “I hadn’t finished talking yet…”
Qi Yue reluctantly stopped to listen to the robot again.
“…my second point is that active nerves are unlikely to appear in ordinary people, and as you saw, we also had a hard time isolating one! ”
At this, Qi Yue was completely speechless.
“That’s all nonsense, all the scenarios you mention are within scientific realms, but this world isn’t scientific at all, you know?”
Isn’t it unscientific?
A world with mysterious species like the Immortal Bug and White Rhino; a world that can grant people a second life and possesses supernatural space, how can it be viewed through the lens of science?
At least in some cases, it can’t be.
Hearing this, the little assistant also turned its eyeballs and fell silent.
It’s easy to see, a robot would have a hard time understanding unscientific matters.
Qi Yue didn’t linger, she instructed the assistant to continue with the research and left the laboratory.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Zhao Xiyan with an ambiguous expression.
“What’s with that look?” Qi Yue asked, confused and puzzled.
From the time she entered the space yesterday until now, this was the first time they had spoken face to face.
In the meantime, she had seen Zhao Xiyan constantly standing outside waiting for her, but she was so caught up in her work that she had forgotten about him every time she looked up.
Just like that, she had been busy in the laboratory all night and morning, and this guy had been guarding outside for the same amount of time.
“Why have you been standing outside all this time? Didn’t I tell you that you could rest on the second floor? Or at least lie down on the rocking chair in the pavilion for a while!”
Qi Yue lightly scolded him, but noticed him continuously staring at her, which made her touch her own face.
“Why are you looking at me like that, do I look very haggard because I haven’t rested all night?”
Zhao Xiyan shook his head and pulled her into his arms.
“You look very beautiful. So beautiful that I feel unworthy.”
Qi Yue chuckled, “What are you talking about? Would I choose a man who’s beneath me?”
She guessed she had been neglecting him for a night and a morning, so she hugged his waist willingly.
“Why didn’t you come into the lab?”
“Wouldn’t I have disturbed you?”
“No.” Qi Yue shook her head, “I was just worried you might find it boring.”
“No, it’s very interesting here.”
Zhao Xiyan said and glanced through the window at the busy little assistant.
“What is that? It looks like a person and even talks?”
“It’s called the little assistant, it’s a robot. I’ll introduce you two when I come back,” Qi Yue said as she pulled Zhao Xiyan towards the kitchen, “Let’s eat something first, I’m starving.”
Just as they entered the kitchen, she noticed that the cutting board had prepared vegetables and the pots were washed.
Zhao Xiyan said apologetically, “I saw you hadn’t eaten all night and thought of cooking some porridge, but…”
Qi Yue glanced at the modern kitchen appliances and felt a bit guilty.
“That’s my fault, I should have told you. You must be hungry too, I’ll cook dumplings for you.”
“Dumplings? The fluffy white things you fed me last time?”
“Yes.”
Qi Yue quickly lit the fire and soon had a pot of water boiling for the dumplings.
She then started to prepare stir-fried greens and steam ribs…
While she was busy, she explained to Zhao Xiyan how to use various kitchen utensils.
“Once you learn, you can cook for both of us!”
“Okay.”
Soon, the two of them sat opposite each other and began to eat.
During the meal, they discussed the progress of the antidote research; Qi Yue felt that she needed to investigate the Hu Family again.
“This is what I’m thinking, since the origin of the disease is at the Hu Family, it’s necessary to dig deeper.”
But she didn’t mention the most critical point.
Her real purpose was to see if there were any deaths at the Hu Family.
If there were, she could take them back for dissection.
Because the samples taken so far showed no link between the disease symptoms and the active nerves of the Immortal Bug.
Qi Yue guessed that this thing might be deeply hidden.
If that was the case, a comprehensive autopsy of the patients was necessary to understand it.
“Okay, I’ll go with you.”
Zhao Xiyan solemnly agreed, looking obediently, and Qi Yue was a bit unaccustomed to it.
“Husband, you’re with me all the time, won’t you have time to do your own things?”
“Yueyue’s matters are my matters,” Zhao Xiyan said, then suddenly as if remembering something, he earnestly added, “I will strive hard, not to let Yueyue feel her husband is useless.”
Qi Yue found it a bit funny.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.
What’s with this man today, one moment feeling unworthy, the next feeling useless?
With a slight thought, she figured it out.
A man’s pride!
It seems that she needed to compliment him more in the future!
She immediately picked up a rib and placed it near Zhao Xiyan’s lips.
“Husband, eat more. You’ll be the one protecting me when we go out later!”
“I will always be by your side.”
Speaking of this, Qi Yue remembered those people who had cursed her recklessly, which instantly soured her mood.
She was working so hard on the antidote, fearing that in the end, no one would acknowledge it; instead, they might turn against her, claiming she was merely taking responsibility for her own misdeeds, as expected!
Seeing this, Zhao Xiyan immediately changed the subject.
Although he had already ordered someone to handle this matter, he was still unsure of the situation outside, so he dared not say more.
Fortunately, Qi Yue’s attention quickly shifted, and the two started talking about the wonders of space, soon finishing their meal.
Afterwards, Qi Yue took Zhao Xiyan upstairs and taught him how to use the shower.
Entering the bathroom, Zhao Xiyan finally understood that the room where Qi Yue had treated his illness before was here.
After both had washed up, Qi Yue cooked corn for the three White Rhinos and then took Zhao Xiyan out of the space.
Once back in the real world, Qi Yue’s ears automatically tuned into the external sounds.
Suddenly, a cry from beyond the fence came rushing to Qi Yue’s eardrums.
“Divine Doctor Qi, save us, please!”
“Divine Doctor Qi, we misunderstood you, please save us!”
“Divine Doctor Qi, we need your help!”
“…”
The voices were sincere, sad, and touching.
Qi Yue listened intently for a while, hardly believing it.
“What’s happened? Have they come to their senses? Repented? Or are they terrified?”
