Frostnova's expression fell instantly. She pursed her lips, and after a long pause, the words she wanted to say finally turned into an apology.

"sorry."

Amiya coldly replied, "If apologies were enough, would we still need the Guard Bureau?"

"Ahem! Amiya, calm down, this is just a friendly spar."

Lin Lu coughed suddenly, his old face turning red. This was the first time he had been humiliated in front of Amiya, and he was almost beaten to death.

If he had known Amiya was there too... Oh well, his choice would still be the same; he couldn't just stand by and watch Frostnova get hurt.

Unfortunately, the agreement between Lin Lu and Shuangxing was null and void, and he lost.

Amiya stared at Lin Lu's chest. She didn't want to speak; she just wanted to hit him.

"I'm fine, I'm really fine."

The data-driven spiritual realm was operating at an accelerated pace, and Lin Lu's survival instinct prompted him to find a solution to the problem.

His gaze unconsciously lingered on the Rhodes Island operators who had arrived.

Elite operator Huang, information about her instantly appeared in the Spirit Realm.

I've decided on you!

"Huang!"

Lin Lu called out.

"Yes, I'm here."

Huang came running over with a chainsaw, looking rather silly.

"Doctor, what can I do for you?"

"Hold me! Right now!"

"What?!"

Huang was greatly alarmed.

Amiya and Frostnova's gazes instantly fell on her, startling her so much that she almost fell backward.

"Doctor, you can eat as much as you want, but you can't say whatever you want! If you want a hug, go hug Amiya!"

Huang waved her hands in a flustered manner. She had a feeling that the Doctor was up to something, deliberately drawing Amiya and Frostnova's attention to her. What was this? Intentionally creating a common enemy and forcibly forming a harem alliance? What a Doctor! Playing with fire and bringing it upon himself—aren't you afraid of getting burned?!

Huang was somewhat angry.

If she weren't worried that Amiya would beat her up too, she would have liked to take the opportunity to give the Doctor a loving hug, the kind that would carry her lunch out with it. She'd play along, fan the flames, and make the Doctor's chaotic situation even more intense!

Amiya noticed Huang's assist, and she subconsciously hugged Lin Lu's left arm tightly, leaning closer and saying, "Can't I do it?"

Sure, of course, Lin Lu wouldn't dare say no, but that wasn't his purpose.

Lin Lu paused to prepare his words, then said seriously, "Amiya, I need Huang to take me up there so I can use the surrounding Originium particles to recover my body. Before that, I hope you can have a good talk with Frostnova. She... saved my life when the plaza exploded."

"……I see."

Amiya was silent for a few seconds, then released Lin Lu's arm and let Huang come over.

Huang looked at Amiya intently, his eyes asking, "Can I really hug the Doctor?"

Amiya nodded. Although she was a bit of a jealous type on Terra, she wasn't so irrational as to not be able to distinguish right from wrong. If the Doctor had a way to recover, she would be more inclined to support him than to oppose him. For her, the Doctor's safety was the top priority in everything.

Huang was still a little uneasy. She cautiously walked between the black rabbit and the white rabbit. She could feel an invisible aura pressing down on her from all directions. How terrifying!

"Hey!"

Huang nudged Lin Lu's shoulder, then quickly took a few steps back, observing Amiya's expression.

Amiya shook her head helplessly, stood up and took a few steps back, then gave Huang a look.

"Stop playing."

Amiya warned.

"...I'm not playing anymore, I'm not playing anymore."

Huang scratched her head sheepishly. She didn't really care about Frostnova; after all, this white rabbit wasn't her boss—Amiya was. If this white rabbit had the guts to sleep with the Doctor, she'd gladly accept her fate.

"Gently, gently..." Amiya whispered, worried that Huang would just pick the Doctor up and carry him on her shoulder. She quickly taught this carefree young woman what position would make her feel comfortable.

It's not a princess carry, but a baby carry.

Lin Lu's upper body was nestled in Huang's strong arms, while his lower body was supported by Huang's left arm, making him look extremely obedient.

Where did this breastfeeding play come from?!

"puff."

Froststar smiled.

The yetis trembled, trying to hold back!

Lin Lu raised an eyebrow and shouted, "ACE!"

"To!"

The ACE conditionally stepped forward, purely out of the neural response trained by Lin Lu in the past, or rather, out of psychological trauma.

Lin Lu said calmly, "You're punished with fifty squats. Hurry up and do them!"

"what?"

ACE was dumbfounded. He was still wearing a protective suit that restricted his movement! Squatting like that would kill him, wouldn't it? Besides, he hadn't done anything wrong. What kind of logic was this?

Lin Lu glanced at him. "You just laughed at me, didn't you?"

"I don't!"

ACE looked bewildered and cried out that he was wronged.

Lin Lu comfortably shifted his position in Huang's arms and sneered, "Do you think I don't know you're secretly laughing to yourself?"

"Seriously? You could tell that?!"

ACE blurted it out, and then quickly covered his mouth.

"I'll squat, I'll squat!"

ACE immediately put his hands behind his head and did squats. If he continued talking, it wouldn't be as simple as just doing squats.

Lin Lu turned to look at Shuangxing and found that she was looking up at the sky, pretending to admire the scenery, revealing her fair and slender neck.

The Yetis all lowered their heads, like students worried about being called out by their homeroom teacher, behaving themselves extremely obediently.

Lin Lu nodded in satisfaction. "I'd like to see who dares to laugh now."

"Pfft, haha!! ACE, look at you, you're so silly!"

Huang was laughing very happily.

This was the first time she had seen ACE suffer a setback. She had risen from a regular operator to an elite operator, and her combat training partners were mostly ACEs.

It wasn't just her; most operators had received training from ACE because of his extensive combat experience and patience. Even as the defenders, ACE could pinpoint the strengths and weaknesses of the opposing team's tactics, making him practically the ace of the training room. Both new and veteran operators were happy to fight alongside this reliable mentor.

That's why Huang couldn't help but laugh when he saw ACE's kind and lovable appearance.

To give an analogy, it's like seeing your imposing drill instructor doing physical training under the orders of the head instructor during military training. Although it feels quite unfair, you can't help but feel excited and watch with great interest.

Lin Lu silently looked at Huang and reminded him, "Stop laughing, hurry up and take me upstairs."

"Yes, Doctor!"

At this moment, Huang's resentment towards the Doctor for using her as a shield had been completely forgotten. Even ACE didn't dare to breathe too loudly in front of the Doctor, and Huang couldn't help but feel a mysterious sense of composure.

We're all the same!

No wonder he's a PhD!

Huang reminded him, "Hold me tight, Doctor."

"it is good."

Lin Lu wasn't going to be polite with Huang. Anyway, the other party was wearing a full hazmat suit, and the feel of hugging her... oh my god?! The feel was surprisingly good. This girl had a nice figure, but she was a little hot to the touch.

Huang's body stiffened; she felt a tickling sensation on her back, which was quite pleasant. But she didn't pay much attention to it and simply grabbed the Doctor and jumped towards the edge of the pit. Landing as easily as a cat, she leaped and bounded through the rubble, quickly climbing to the top.

After Lin Lu left, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

On one side, ACE was doing squats silently while wearing a full set of protective clothing.

On one side was Amiya, who remained silent, silently making notes in her little notebook. She had just overheard what Huang had said to the Doctor. Sure enough, Huang was also interested in the Doctor. It seemed she would have to discipline the Doctor more strictly when they got back.

Frostnova was talking to the Yetis, mainly inquiring about the safety of the others. She felt much more at ease after learning that everyone was safe. After all, hearing about the situation from Amiya was completely different from hearing it from her own siblings.

“Little bunny,” Frostnova said, looking at Amiya.

Amiya glanced at her, and having calmed down, she nodded. "Just call me Amiya."

"Longmen...you're going there too, right?"

"Yes."

"Then we'll be enemies sooner or later."

Froststar stated the truth directly, with no intention of hiding anything.

Rhodes Island may still have the potential for deeper communication, but Lungmen does not.

Amiya nodded silently, exhaled softly, and smiled confidently.

“At least we’re not enemies now, and that’s enough.” Amiya showed no fear as she looked directly into Frostnova’s eyes. “Since the Doctor said you saved his life, given his character, he will repay you no matter what, regardless of your status. That’s just the kind of person he is. Sometimes I don’t even know if that’s a strength or a weakness of the Doctor.”

Amiya shook her head helplessly and asked, "Did the Doctor invite you to join Rhodes Island with the Yeti Squad?"

"...It seems you know him quite well." Froststar narrowed her eyes slightly, without giving a direct answer.

"Of course, I'm the doctor's sweet little darling!"

Amiya patted her slightly heaving chest with self-satisfaction, completely unaware that she actually had anti-armor, the kind with spikes inside.

"Oh? Is that so?" Froststar smiled. "How about we have a contest to see who knows Lin Lu better?"
