How can you become stronger if you don't build up bonds?

That old geezer, you've got everything figured out!

Thinking about all this, Lin Wei couldn't help but feel a little "annoyed".

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

Lin Wei remained silent precisely because he knew that Green's words made a lot of sense.

He avoided the topic afterward.

Lin Wei was somewhat relieved that he hadn't been stubborn and said something like, "I only want Luya in this life, and I will never have any children."

Otherwise, we'll have to listen to that old man's snarling again.

From a very early age, Green has been a "know-it-all".

But with the appearance of Tina and Shulia, he, the "know-it-all," evolved directly into a "prophet."

His explanation was that he had eaten more salt in his life than Lin Wei had walked more roads, so it was normal for him to know more.

Forget it, I'll stop thinking about him.

Lin Wei turned his thoughts back to the reality before him.

He remembered everything from his previous dream clearly.

Luya seems to be able to speak, but it's not a physical sound in the conventional sense.

In other words, is this a dialogue of the soul?

"Luya, what time is it now?"

Lin Wei tried communicating with Luya in his mind.

Luya clearly heard him, and she shyly stretched out a hand from under the covers to tell Lin Wei that it was the morning of the third day.

"So, why do we still need sign language?"

Lin Wei believed that Luya must also know about the telepathic communication.

"Because...the sound is strange..."

It really is a telepathic dialogue; this time, Lin Wei truly "heard" it.

Looking at it this way, aside from that damn damage transfer, the other functions of "Chain of Hearts" are actually quite good.

The mind-to-mind dialogue function, to some extent, compensated for some of Lin Wei's obsession.

At least Luya can talk to herself now.

Seriously, I actually slept for a whole day and night?

"It's not strange, it's cute."

Luya's voice has a touch of childlike innocence, and it's quite addictive once you get used to it.

"Your Highness, Mum..."

Luya leaned out a little further, pressing herself tightly against Lin Wei. Her soft body exuded a sweet fragrance, and her fluffy, soft blue hair tickled Lin Wei's shoulder.

This should also be the first time Lin Wei has heard Luya speak.

Every time Lin Wei saw Luya act like a cute little kitten after being praised, he couldn't help but want to tease her.

With Green taking care of things outside, Lin Wei can now relax and enjoy his time alone with Luya.

"By the way, Luya, what were you doing while I was asleep?" Lin Wei asked, pretending to know nothing.

"Ugh—" Luya shuddered.

"Luya is... taking care of His Highness..."

"Oh? How exactly were you taken care of?"

"Specific...specific..."

Luya seemed to recall something, and her whole face turned red.

"Luya... doesn't remember..."

"Isn't Luya supposed to have the best memory? How could she forget?" Lin Wei continued to press.

Luya stopped talking and started to shrink deeper into the blankets.

"Hmph, trying to escape?"

Lin Wei locked Luya in place.

"Um... Your Highness... It's... daytime now..."

Luya's voice had taken on a touch of sentimentality, and Lin Wei's ears almost melted just listening to it.

"Don't you take care of me during the day?"

"Pfft... Luya... that's not what I meant..."

"Let's start with a simple review of the previous care process!"

Lin Wei pulled the blanket completely over his head, and a few seconds later, the waves began to rise and fall...

…………

When Lin Wei led Luya out of the room around noon, looking quite relaxed, he learned that Green had left Scar Town early the previous morning.

"Is Zoreni... alright?"

From Ara, Lin Wei learned that Green had returned to Fengdu for Zoreni's sake. Yesterday, she had overexerted herself by using a high-level sacrificial divine spell and urgently needed to return to the church headquarters to receive treatment from the goddess.

"Lord Green said he can be saved."

Are you worried about her?

Seeing that Yare's expression was normal, Lin Wei casually asked another question.

"I... Zoreni is blessed by His Highness and the Goddess, so I don't need to worry about her."

"?"

Lin Wei hadn't expected this answer.

"I'm asking you. Whether or not Aray Chris is worried about her has nothing to do with whether or not he needs her!"

Lin Weizhen couldn't stand Ya Lei's stubbornness anymore.

"I……"

"Answer truthfully! No rambling or beating around the bush—" Lin Wei emphasized.

"yes--!"

As if frightened by Lin Wei, Yare touched the end of his lance to the ground and stood up straight.

"Your Highness, Ale has been worried about Zoreni since yesterday!"

Why is it narrated in the third person?

Never mind, the form doesn't matter, as long as the content is correct.

From any perspective, Zoreni was incredibly good to Aray. If Aray could betray such a good woman, Lin Wei would really want to punch him.

"Then I'll give you a task: when you get back to Fengdu, tell Zoreni what you just said."

"Yes!" Ale replied in an incredibly loud voice.

"Hehehe..." Luya's silly laughter suddenly echoed in my mind.

"So happy? Then Lucia will help me confirm with Zoreni."

"Mmm~"

After discussing Zoreni's matter, Yare told Lin Wei about another important matter.

"Yesterday, when Lord Grin was inspecting the underground labyrinth, he discovered a laboratory that housed a large number of blood rats. There was a set of alchemy equipment there, which was specially used to concentrate and refine the blood and organ tissues of the blood rats. There were also several kinds of humanoid puppets operating there."

Lord Green said that the blood rats housed there had all mutated due to human intervention. Not only had their pathogenic factors become several times stronger, but they had also developed intense aggression. They knew no fear and would launch a frenzied attack on any creature they encountered.

Lin Wei nodded; he had guessed these things to some extent.

"Shouldn't Green have wiped out all those blood rats?"

Yare shook his head, his expression becoming serious and solemn.

"Yesterday's earthquake caused most of the blood rats in the laboratory to escape. Lord Green searched underground all night and eliminated half of the escaped blood rats. The remaining half were too scattered, so Lord Green could no longer carry out efficient extermination."

"Oh no..."

After listening, Lin Wei realized the seriousness of the problem.

If the remaining mad blood rats cannot be eliminated in time, the residents of Scar Town will be in danger.

Ultimately, the earthquake was caused by Lin Wei. Green had already helped Lin Wei deal with half of it, and Lin Wei was responsible for the remaining half.

"Were there any rabid blood rats attacking people yesterday?"

"Yes, but thanks to Miss Shulia's protection, no one was injured."

"Did Shuliya just happen to be patrolling nearby?"

"Yes, but it's not entirely a coincidence..."

"How so?"

"Those mad blood rats seem to be heading straight for Princess Lillian. As long as Princess Lillian is around, they won't attack anyone else; they'll only desperately attack Princess Lillian."

Miss Shulia stayed by Lillian's side, killing all the mad blood rats that attacked.
