Chapter 726 Stop having such dreams

Yu Xia woke up from her brief hibernation, and the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was the familiar golden curtain above her head.

She returned to Catherine's room.

She heard a rustling sound of clothes rubbing together nearby. Yu Xia turned her head and saw a tall, slender figure through the gauze curtain.

She sat up, lifted the gauze curtain, and a back covered in scars came into view.

The sentry in front of him had a slightly long torso, a thin waist, which made his shoulders appear broad, and he was tall and slender overall.

Yu Xia glanced at the sentry's scarred back, then her gaze was drawn to his right arm.

His right arm was covered with red veins that spread like tree roots all the way to his arm, fading near his heart.

Noticing her gaze, Kleeman paused in taking off his clothes, tilting his head slightly to look at her. "Awake?"

Yu Xia snapped out of her daze and asked, "How did I get here?"

Kleeman casually tossed his shirt onto a chair and sat down beside her, pulling back the bed curtains.

“You just fainted,” he said.

"How long have I been asleep?" Yu Xia asked as he sat down on the edge of her bed, shirtless, holding his head and looking pained.

"Not long."

"Not feeling well?" Kleeman removed her hand and used his other hand to lift her head.

Yu Xia hummed softly, "My head hurts a little."

Seeing her frowning and looking uncomfortable, Kleeman took out a vial of golden potion and held it to her lips. "Drink this and you'll feel better."

Yu Xia lowered her eyes and stared at the golden potion, somewhat reluctant to drink it.

The taste and color were the same as the ones she had used before, but she had already seen in Melia's memories that the medicine was problematic.

Seeing that she wasn't drinking, Kleeman asked, "What's wrong?"

Yu Xia pursed her lips and dodged the medicine. "I don't like the taste. It feels a bit strange."

Kleeman paused, then, as if remembering something, stopped forcing her to drink and got up to leave.

Yu Xia watched as he walked to a certain place in the room and rummaged through something. A moment later, he returned to her side, pulled down her pajamas, revealing one of her arms, and then directly injected her with the gold medicine with a needle attached.

Yu Xia: "."

She instinctively flinched, but Kleeman, sensing her reaction beforehand, pressed down on her shoulder just as she was about to move. "You're afraid of this little bit of pain? You're so delicate. Don't move, or I'll have to give you another injection."

Yu Xia: Was it because I was afraid of pain?
"Never mind," Yu Xia sighed inwardly. She had already drunk everything, so a little more wouldn't make a difference.

A small vial of injection is finished in just a few seconds.

Kleeman rubbed the spot where she had the needle in her skin with his fingers, staring at her face and carefully observing her expression. "Are you hungry?"

As soon as he asked the question, Yu Xia's stomach rumbled.

Yu Xia: "." I've used up too much energy these past few days.

Kleeman heard her stomach rumble, a smile playing on his lips. He ruffled her hair and said, "Wait."

Ten minutes later, Kleeman asked someone to bring her some food.

Several sentries carried in trays of food, filling the table to the brim. All of it was her favorite food, most of which was seafood.

A bowl of nutritious porridge was placed in front of Yu Xia.

Yu Xia looked up and met the sentry's pale green eyes.

It's West.

Both he and Alex have green eyes, but his eyes are a lighter color.

Yu Xia met his gaze for a moment, then quickly looked away. With Alex's eyes and those eyes, she almost mistook him for Alex.

After delivering the meal, 'Sevi' and the other sentries left.

What were you two exchanging glances about just now?

"Sevier asked Alex in his mind."

Alex: "It's none of your business."

Sevi scoffed, "Fine, then what you eat is none of my business, right? I don't like seafood, I'm allergic to it, so can you please stop eating everything?"

Alex: "I'll test the food to see if there's anything wrong with it."

Sevier lay on the beach, one hand behind his head, the other tossing a pebble. "What can you do if there's a problem? Don't you know where you are? Do you think you're on a beautiful planet? On a sunny afternoon, holding your beloved little guide, feeding each other? You're ridiculous. Either stab Kleeman to death, or starve her."

Upon hearing his description, Alex said, "I have no idea what this means, and you should stop having such dreams."

Sevier gripped the pebble. "Who would have such a dream?"

Alex didn't hold back at all, exposing him bluntly, "Stop using her as material for your dreams, or I'll stab Kleeman right now and send you to meet your ancestors sooner."

"Hiss." A vein throbbed on Sevi's forehead as he sat up. "Get out of my body right now."

Alex scratched himself. "I'm having an allergic reaction. Do you want to change?"

Sevier clenched his fist against his forehead, took a deep breath, and said, "How did the Snake family raise such a bastard like you?"

Alex scratched his arms and neck. "If you can raise someone like that, what's so strange about raising me?"

"Should I change it? I feel a little short of breath. Is your allergic reaction that severe?"

Sevi lay back down, "Just you wait and see!"

"."

"How's the taste?" Kleeman asked, noticing that Yu Xia was only eating a bowl of fish porridge and hadn't touched anything else. "You don't like the other dishes?"

Yu Xia swallowed the food in her mouth, glanced at the other seafood, and said, "They have shells."

Kleeman: "Didn't you used to like things with shells?"

He watched the video of her when she first came to the Snake family's house; she ate shrimp and shellfish with the shells on, along with the meat.

Yu Xia paused for a moment, then said, "Were my hobbies really that...unusual?"

Kleeman smiled, but the smile quickly faded when Yu Xia saw it.

He picked up an unpeeled shrimp and held it to Yu Xia's mouth. "Yes, your tastes are always weird. Eat it, you'll like it."

Yu Xia stared at the shrimp, grinding her back teeth, thinking to herself that she wasn't mutated yet, so she didn't like eating it shell and all!

Seeing that Kleeman looked like he wanted her to eat, Yu Xia had no choice but to open her mouth, thinking she would pretend to take a bite, but Kleeman withdrew his hand again.

“Taking care of you is such a hassle.” Kleeman peeled the shrimp, which he wasn’t very familiar with, and put the shrimp meat on a plate before handing it to Yu Xia.

He rarely eats shelled foods himself, finding it troublesome.

Yu Xia took a bite of the shrimp and paused. The shrimp tasted so fresh, it didn't taste like it had been frozen or refrigerated for a long time.

It was so fresh it looked like it had just been pulled from the sea.

These are sea shrimp. There's only one inland lake in the North Second District, so where does this sea come from?
Even if there is a sea, given the level of pollution in the North Second District, the creatures there would have been completely polluted long ago.

She glanced at the food on the table, then forked a piece of sashimi and put it in her mouth.

It tastes very delicious.

She glanced at Kleeman, who was frowning as he peeled shrimp, and then picked up a piece of sashimi and stuffed it into his mouth. "This fish is very delicious. You should eat some too."
