197: Chapter 197 Does Qianmo have a system?

Looking at the boy's seemingly broken, comedic "funny facial expressions," Xing Yaoyan smiled a little happily.

She didn't know why she was so happy over such a small thing; she only knew that as long as she was by his side and saw his face, her heart felt an inexplicable peace. The disguise she had always maintained would quietly shatter, revealing her original self.

The boy, who had just uttered some harsh words, turned his head and saw her beautiful smile, and for a moment, he was actually dazed.

He had an impulse; he wanted to rush over instantly and pull that lovely girl into his arms, then loudly tell the whole world that he was Young Miss Xing Yan's boyfriend, that she was his, and that he might have belonged to her a long time ago...

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a beauty before..."

With a smile from the bottom of her heart, Xing Yaoyan just looked into the boy's eyes.

In fact, her own mental activity was no less than his. She knew that her already full-of-holes disguise was gradually being torn away. Even if he hadn't heard it from her own mouth yet, he must have already guessed most of it in his heart.

So, when that day really comes... how should she face him, and in what capacity? She is the Saintess of the Demon Race, would Tushan Qing agree... If he finds out I was a man in my past life, what then...

"Ahem..."

A soft cough, neither loud nor quiet, disrupted both of their thoughts.

They turned around and found Crow looking at them with a look of helplessness and the specific disdain of an old bachelor.

Only then did they realize that their faces seemed to have unknowingly moved a bit too close...

"Um... is everyone okay..."

Qian Mo was the first to speak, changing the subject.

Xing Yaoyan, on the other hand, pretended not to care and turned her head away, but the unnatural blush on her face still betrayed her inner turmoil.

"We're fine, thanks to you guys this time."

Nightingale, who was visibly the most seriously injured, struggled to sit up. She had already taken the Recovery Potion handed over by the captain and was feeling much better.

"It's just Spirit Sparrow..."

She looked at the woman lying in Crow's arms with some concern, her eyes filled with relief and sorrow.

A spiritual light flashed in the eyes of Parrot over there, as if he were quickly analyzing something. Then, he added with a sad expression:

"Spirit Sparrow's spiritual power is severely overdrawn this time, and it even damaged her Soul. It'll be a blessing if she doesn't end up in a vegetative state... As for the spiritual power in her body... it might never return..."

Xing Yaoyan seemed to be affected by his pessimistic tone, and her mood involuntarily sank a little.

In the lounge, she had briefly learned about the basic situation of each member of the Birdcage. For instance, this bespectacled man Parrot's Superpower was "Analysis," which could analyze all kinds of information through his eyes, somewhat similar to the Analysis function of her Star Swallowing Art.

Since even he said so, it seemed this strong sister was truly in a dire situation.

After seeing Crow's black shockwave and that familiar protective shield, she had actually recognized their identity—it was the Enforcer squad that had saved her back in Youfeng City. They were also among the few humans she had a good impression of, so she naturally didn't want anything to happen to them.

But that was all...

"I have a way... for Spirit Sparrow's condition..."

Qian Mo's voice rang in everyone's ears.

These words sounded like a clap of thunder in Nightingale's heart, and she looked at him eagerly as if grasping at a life-saving straw.

"Do you really have a way?"

"Yes... but if anyone asks later, you need to help me keep it a secret..."

Hearing his words, the other members of the Birdcage Squad hurriedly nodded in agreement. Although they weren't sure why he had a way to heal Spirit Sparrow, they were willing to try anything at this point.

Seeing the boy's confident manner, Xing Yaoyan couldn't help but believe him a lot more.

She knew that under extreme spiritual power depletion, surviving was already a miracle, and becoming a cripple was almost a certainty. Back then, that guy Liu Yan had just barely had his spiritual power sucked dry by her Star Swallowing Art and directly became a cripple, and Spirit Sparrow's situation looked even worse than Liu Yan's back then...

But if nothing else, Qian Mo always had some strange little gadgets on him; maybe he really did have a way...

She saw Qian Mo pull out a small bottle containing a green liquid from somewhere. Even without opening the bottle, Xing Yaoyan could faintly feel the refreshing aura emanating from the green liquid inside.

He opened the stopper, and in the next moment, everyone present felt their original mental fatigue swept away instantly.

"This... what is this thing..."

Crow's eyes were fixed on the liquid in the bottle, his breathing somewhat hurried.

He had felt a similar aura by chance a long time ago, but that thing was a top-secret item of the Human Alliance, rumored to have epoch-making significance.

How could Xiao have such a thing...

He knew that such a thing was of extraordinary significance to the development of all humanity. If he secretly reported it to his superiors, he might be able to find out the source of these things from him, and maybe...

"Captain..."

The boy's voice rang in his heart.

He looked up abruptly and saw the boy's eyes flashing with a deep light.

He didn't open his mouth. Was that the spiritual Voice Transmission that only a Sixth-Order Ability User could use? This...

"Do you really want her to recover?"

This short sentence from the boy struck his Soul, leaving Crow stunned in place.

After a long while... he nodded, showing a somewhat ashamed expression on his face.

And all of this was seen by Xing Yaoyan.

Although her observation skills weren't as good as Qian Mo's, her keen perception could feel the changes in Crow's heartbeat and the flow of his spiritual power.

Just now, he seemed to want to go back on his word, but after locking eyes with Qian Mo, he tucked away those little thoughts...

She then turned her head to look at the boy who was slowly pouring the liquid from the bottle into Spirit Sparrow's mouth, and a bold guess couldn't help but rise in her heart:

"The contents of this bottle are clearly no ordinary item. He's not a pharmacology student, so how could he get such a thing... Could it be that this guy has a System that even I, a Transmigrator, don't have?!"
