150: Hot chat
Just as Shen Yi was wondering if the system had made a mistake, the stone in front of him suddenly disappeared.
Immediately, a small hole appeared, just big enough for one person to crawl through. He cautiously looked around.
"Sister Yan?"
His body was already prepared to flee, and he quietly called out towards the hole.
There was no response from inside, so Shen Yi called out again, "Senior Sister Ji Yan?"
"Who?"
A clear voice sounded from inside.
Shen Yi listened and it didn't sound like Ji Yan's voice, so he cautiously retreated two steps.
"Shen Yi?"
At this moment, another cool female voice came from inside, making him, who was about to retreat, stop.
This voice was Ji Yan's, "Yes, it's me."
As soon as Shen Yi finished speaking, a woman emerged from inside, disheveled and covered in dust.
"You must be the Little senior brother Shen Yi that Little Yan mentioned. Come in with me."
Then the woman crawled back into the hole, and Shen Yi followed her in.
Presumably, this woman was the other person needing rescue in the mission, Xu Yingshi.
The passage was very narrow; a slightly fatter person wouldn't be able to squeeze through at all.
"Good thing I don't have claustrophobia."
He grumbled to himself.
After crawling for nearly thirty meters, the space inside finally became a little wider.
The area inside was about two meters wide and high, just enough to accommodate two people, and a small fire was burning on the ground inside.
Ji Yan was lying to the side, her clothes stained with blood, clearly indicating she was severely injured.
Seeing Shen Yi enter, she struggled to sit up, but as soon as she tried to move, a sharp pain shot through her body, and she fell back down, coughing violently.
"You should lie down quickly, why are you so agitated?"
Xu Yingshi quickly went forward and rearranged the things padded beneath her.
Ji Yan glared at her, but said nothing.
"Sister Yan, how did you two end up like this?"
Shen Yi came to her side and took out a large pile of things from his wristband.
All kinds of medicines, bottles and jars, were spread all over the ground.
"See which of these are useful. For any injured areas on your bodies, treat them yourselves."
He pointed at the medicines on the ground and said to the two of them.
"Little senior brother, you're so thoughtful."
Xu Yingshi looked at the ground full of medicines and praised Shen Yi with a smile on her face.
"Well, Senior Sisters, you two should treat your wounds first. Let me know if you need anything else."
After Shen Yi finished speaking, he turned and started to walk out.
After all, they were treating their injuries, and the space here was so small; he couldn't just stare at the two girls.
"Little senior brother, you're very sensible, hehe~"
Xu Yingshi chuckled softly, her clear laughter very pleasant to the ear.
He didn't reply and continued to walk out.
"Shen Yi, you don't need to go out. Just wait over there. There might be danger outside."
Ji Yan lay on the ground, turned her head to look at Shen Yi, who was preparing to leave, and said softly.
He nodded, his back to the two of them, and simply stood at a distance.
Behind him came rustling sounds and their whispers.
"This Little senior brother of yours is quite thoughtful. Is this the one you brought to the Otherworld this time?"
Xu Yingshi said in a low voice while treating Ji Yan's wounds.
"Yes, it's him. The teacher asked me to bring him to the Otherworld to do a mission."
Ji Yan's tone had no fluctuations, as if she was talking about a very ordinary matter.
"This Little senior brother of yours is pretty good to you. Do you want to consider taking him? Such a thoughtful boy is rare."
Xu Yingshi looked at her with a mischievous smile.
"Shut up!"
Ji Yan's face flushed with anger when she heard her words, and she glared fiercely at Xu Yingshi.
"Oh, I'm just looking out for you! Look, you're even blushing."
She seemed to be accustomed to Ji Yan's attitude, completely ignoring her murderous gaze, and continued to smile mischievously.
"Are you tempted by what I said? I'm telling you, if you don't make a move, all the good cabbage will be taken by other pigs."
"When that happens, you'll have nowhere to cry. Look at those crooked melons and cracked dates in your Living Department. It's not easy to find a normal person, and you're still not taking the initiative."
Shen Yi, though far away, could hear their conversation clearly, despite their low voices, as he was a third-tier Ability user with hearing superior to ordinary people.
It was the first time he had heard someone describe a boy as "good cabbage."
He stared intently into the distance, as if he hadn't heard their conversation.
Xu Yingshi glanced at Shen Yi, a mischievous smile still playing on her lips.
"If you don't shut up and get lost, I'll do it myself."
"Oh, I'm just doing this for your own good! Look, you're already at such an age, don't you want to taste the flavor of love?"
She had never been afraid of Ji Yan; they had grown up together since childhood and were best friends.
"What? Have you tasted the flavor of love?"
Ji Yan asked coldly; she truly had no way to deal with her good friend.
"Of course, sacrificing my flesh to fulfill his soul, besides greatness, I really can't think of any other adjectives."
Xu Yingshi said proudly, crossing her arms over her chest.
"You're clearly a little cabbage, but you insist on pretending to be an old driver. May I ask how many times you've succeeded?"
Ji Yan rolled her eyes at her.
"Succeeded... wouldn't that be too vulgar? The main purpose of handsome guys is to look at them."
Xu Yingshi didn't expect her to ask such a question, and her voice was very lacking in confidence when she answered.
"Tsk~"
Ji Yan simply stopped paying attention to her, letting her say whatever she wanted, and not even looking.
Xu Yingshi whispered a few more words, and seeing no reaction from her, she sighed, "How boring. When will you become a little more interesting?"
Shen Yi, listening from a distance, felt his body tremble. Good heavens, are girls' conversations this wild nowadays?
These two's conversation was too explosive. Who would have thought that two seemingly gentle young ladies would talk like they were throwing bombs?
It left him stunned.
He hadn't expected that a seemingly cold girl like Ji Yan would even use the term "old driver."
It sounded like she knew quite a bit.
Xu Yingshi kept looking at Shen Yi, intentionally or unintentionally, a smile playing on her lips.
Shen Yi had his back to them, so he couldn't see her expression, otherwise he would have been too embarrassed to find a place to hide.
"Oh, what is this medicine for?"
Suddenly, Xu Yingshi's voice sounded again.
"What medicine?"
Ji Yan turned her head and stared at the small medicine bottle in her hand.
Inside, two small blue pills lay quietly.
"Is there no explanation on it?"
"No, just two small blue pills."
Xu Yingshi shook her head, holding it in her hand and looking at it for a long time, but couldn't figure out what it was for.
She even put it to her nose and sniffed it.
"Shen Yi, is this medicine also for healing?"
