Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

You're amazing.

Pokson's eyelids twitched, and a feeling of pity for their misfortune and anger at their lack of ambition instantly rose in his heart.

But she quickly suppressed her emotions, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice:

“I don’t really like to advise others, but I don’t want to see you cry yourself hoarse like this, and it won’t even help.”

"Of course you might find me annoying, or think I'm making sarcastic remarks, so I'll just say a few last words. If you can't listen to me, then there's nothing I can do."

With that, she turned and walked towards the door.

Just before stepping out the door, she turned to look at Mumu Ze and said:

“Miss Qiduo has wanted to leave for a long time, but it’s Dia who has been delaying. What do you think he’s waiting for?”

"No one is born to belong to anyone else. If you want something, go for it."

"I think he felt the same way as a hunter."

After saying that, Pokson left, leaving behind a thoughtful Mumu Ze.

Chapter 457 Mindset Shift × Showdown

The afternoon sun was shining quietly.

The entire palace was quiet; the cries that had been emanating from the palace had long since ceased.

Qi Duo, who had initially felt a little guilty because of the crying, could finally breathe a sigh of relief and stop being bothered by it.

The green-haired girl pursed her lips, sat on the sofa in a daze, and remained silent.

The things that were happening in the room that I shouldn't have told anyone about were actually witnessed by Mu Muze...

There is a question—

How long did she watch?

Qiduo felt embarrassed and annoyed when she thought about how she looked back then, and the tips of her ears turned as red as if they were about to bleed!

It's all that stupid disciple's fault, why did he have to grow so tall?

'Of course, it can't be entirely blamed on him...'

Suddenly, the girl seemed to remember something and began to gesture absentmindedly above her head, her expression dazed.

It does seem not very high.

Her father is a normal human being, and she has never lacked nutrition since childhood, so why is she shorter than a normal girl?

Then look at Poker and Mumu Ze, they are both taller than the average person.

Could it be a problem with my mother?

Or perhaps all the nutrients are being supplied to the brain?

Qi Duo even regretted it a little. Why did she read so many books when she was growing during puberty? Now that her bones are set, it's too late to say anything.

And there's something even more important...

'After establishing a relationship, the next step is marriage, and then, according to physiological principles, procreation, giving birth to human offspring, and the mother's responsibility to breastfeed...'

The green-haired girl looked around suspiciously.

After confirming that no one was around, she awkwardly gestured twice in front of her chest, her slender fingertips applying a bit of pressure.

It hit my ribs.

In an instant, the emotion called despair flashed through her mind.

Why didn't I notice this before...?

Qiduo listlessly lowered her little hand, sighed, and felt utterly despondent.

She had always considered herself a mature and composed adult, but when she stepped into this unfamiliar territory, her innate wisdom seemed to have rusted and could no longer provide her with any help.

In this field, even a girl praised by everyone as a genius is just a clumsy wizard who has just received her wand.

Forget about using it, I don't even know how to grip it.

She's clearly someone older than him, like an older sister or a teacher.

"well:-(……"

Qi Duo unconsciously let out a sigh, feeling a mix of anxiety and uncertainty.

Suddenly a voice came from the stairwell not far away:

"Miss Qiduo, what are you sighing about?"

The voice was somewhat deep, yet still pleasant to the ear.

Qi Duo frowned, turned her head instantly, and subconsciously replied:

"nothing……"

Her gaze froze.

With a very obvious forced smile on his face, Mumu Ze walked gracefully down the stairs and came to a place not far from Qi Duo.

The young crown princess mustered her courage, maintained her smile, and tried to meet Qi Duo's gaze.

But Qiduo's gaze didn't immediately look into her eyes; instead, it lingered on her ears.

A scab had formed there, and you could vaguely see pink flesh turned inside out.

'A violent tear in the earlobe, not serious, but if left untreated, there is a risk of infection...'

The doctor's instincts kicked in instantly.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qiduo stepped forward, grabbed Mumu Ze's arm, and pushed her to sit down on the sofa.

She then turned and walked to the cabinet where miscellaneous items were stored, and without saying a word, she rummaged through the cabinet and took out some simple medical supplies.

They brought it along and came to Mumu Ze's side.

"..."

Looking at Qiduo's actions, Mumu Ze suddenly felt like crying again.

She could, of course, see what Qiduo was up to.

He was just doing *that* with his sweetheart, but then he saw her hurt and suddenly became so gentle and considerate…

'What? That's so cheating! Who could dislike someone with that kind of personality?'

Tears welled up in the young crown prince's eyes.

"Don't cry, it doesn't hurt."

Like coaxing a child, Qiduo carefully blew on Mumu Ze's earlobe to remove the dust and lint, then dipped a cotton swab in iodine and tried to wipe it off.

"Do not touch me……"

Mumu Ze stubbornly raised his arm, trying to pry the cotton swab from Qi Duo's hand.

"Given the self-healing abilities of Nen users, if this drags on any longer, your earlobe will heal on its own, but it will heal as a tear, a hundred times uglier than a scar, like a tumor..."

Qiduo said calmly, her gaze unwavering, without stopping her hands.

Because she knew that Mu Muze wouldn't dare to continue obstructing her.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Mu Muze froze and dared not move again.

The room immediately fell silent.

The only sounds were occasionally the doctor intently tending to the wound.

at the same time,

On the stairs that Mu Muze came down, a figure quietly appeared at the connection point to the second floor.

Dia, who had wandered out of the kitchen, glanced at them briefly before silently disappearing into the shadows, watching the two men quietly.

This simple wound treatment was a piece of cake for Qiduo.

"Okay, don't let it get wet for a few days, and also..."

She quickly finished everything and then began packing up the medical equipment.

Will this leave a scar?

Mumu asked timidly, no longer displaying the poise she had when she descended the stairs.

"No," Qi Duo replied casually.

Then an awkward silence fell over the room.

After an unknown amount of time, when Qiduo put the things back in their place and sat back down on the sofa, Mumu Ze finally mustered up his courage again, but still lowered his head and said:

"Miss Kita, I have a question for you."

"Ask away."

"Why are you treating my wounds? You probably already know why I came here, right?"

"..."

The downside of being smart is that you lose the right to play dumb at any time.

Qiduo knew very well what Mumuze was there for, and Mumuze also knew that Qiduo knew what she was there for.

They understood each other implicitly, their tacit understanding was perfect.

"Your crying was so loud it almost attracted a large number of patrolling soldiers; it was hard to ignore."

Qi Duo's eyes flickered for a moment, but she gave a completely irrelevant answer.

But Mumu Ze miraculously understood, and she slowly raised her head:

"It must be embarrassing, but there's nothing I can do. Compared to Miss Qiduo, I have nothing to boast about, except for my physical development. If I hadn't done this, Teacher Dia would have easily made the decision to leave, wouldn't she?"

The part about development doesn't need to be mentioned.

Qiduo forced a smile, forcing herself not to care about that offensive remark.
