At this moment, Qingque was still on her way, riding hastily over.
Qingque was now filled with regret!
If she had known earlier that Huohuo was someone small in stature but big in scheming and had ill intentions toward little Fu, she would never have lent her out!
Now it was too late. She had lent the person out and didn't know if she could get her back. If she couldn't get her back… then she would really crack open!
When Phantylia came to cause trouble before, she didn't panic, because everything was under control.
When the Shackling Prison riot happened not long ago, she didn't panic either, because she had anticipated it.
But now she was truly panicking!
Following the location on her phone, Qingque quickly arrived at the medical clinic. As soon as she entered, she grabbed a physician and said fiercely: "I am Luofu General Qingque. Did the Helm Master just send someone here for treatment? Where is the person?"
That physician's brain crashed for two seconds, then subconsciously pointed at a ward: "O-over there…"
Whoosh—
Before the words finished, Qingque released the physician and charged straight into that ward.
"Little Fu, I'm here…" Qingque kicked open the door, ready to have a warrior's duel with Huohuo. But when she clearly saw the figure lying on the hospital bed, she was instantly stunned:
"Eh?"
Lying on the hospital bed was clearly Lingsha, who had just escaped the control of the Furious Heliobus.
(Although she was very worried about Fu Xuan at the time, Huohuo still remembered to have Sushang and the others bring Lingsha along as well.)
"Mmm… is that General?"
Lingsha coughed lightly, her voice somewhat weak: "I'm truly sorry, General. It was this one's will that wasn't firm enough, allowing that Heliobus to confuse my mind and nearly commit a great mistake…"
"Fortunately the Helm Master and the Nameless lady took action, otherwise this one…"
Thud.
Before Lingsha could finish speaking, Qingque closed the door and left.
Lingsha: ?
She had entered the wrong ward. Qingque was burning with anxiety right now. She looked around, casually grabbed another physician, and asked: "Do you know where the Helm Master is right now? That little green dwarf!"
The physician trembled as he said: "I-I know."
"Where is she?"
"S-she's in this clinic."
"······ I'm asking for the specific location. Which ward?"
The physician hurriedly pointed at a ward not far away.
This time Qingque learned from her previous mistake. She did not immediately abandon the physician and rush in, but asked a few more rigorous questions:
"Is there a pink-haired girl in that ward?"
"Yes, there is. I heard from other colleagues that the girl drank some computer accessories and is currently recuperating. The Helm Master won't let any outsiders in."
Hearing this, Qingque flew into a rage: "What?!"
Drank "computer accessories," an isolated girl and widow alone in a room together, and not letting others in?!
Huohuo's intentions were obvious to anyone!
This was too disrespectful toward her superior!
Logically speaking, this kind of plot should happen between a superior and her subordinate's wife, right? How come Huohuo was now charging forward against the odds and rebelling against her general!
Rebellion! This is outright rebellion!!
Bang!
Qingque dashed to the ward door in one stride and kicked it open, roaring angrily: "Huohuo! I've tolerated you for a long time! You actually dare to secretly take advantage of my little Fu. Prepare to die!"
The moment she kicked the door, what Qingque imagined in her mind was still "Huohuo's cold threatening words" and "Fu Xuan's panicked and helpless tears," while she would become a sun, rescuing Fu Xuan from Huohuo's demonic claws.
However, when the door was kicked open, an ambiguous scene appeared before Qingque's eyes:
"Still feeling uncomfortable? The physician said you need to drink more water to replenish. Here, I'll feed you."
"Ugh… th-thank you, Helm Master. I feel much better now, but can I not drink this water? I've drunk too much and I kind of… kind of need to use the toilet."
"Then I'll help you go."
"Eh? Th-this isn't good, right?"
"What's not good about it? You are my subordinate right now. It is naturally my responsibility and duty to take good care of you. Besides, we're both girls, and I'm older than you. What's inappropriate about it?"
"This… alright then. I just hope no acquaintances see…"
The conversation between the two came to an abrupt halt at this point, because at this moment they clearly noticed Qingque standing at the door!
Fu Xuan's originally somewhat shy expression instantly froze, turning into shock, panic, and disbelief.
Why was Senior here? Senior couldn't have heard everything she just said, right? No, it couldn't be like this. Absolutely not!
Fu Xuan subconsciously said: "Qingque Senior, it's not what you're imagining!"
However, everything was already too late.
Qingque's entire person seemed to lose all color, turning into a white figure that was out of place with the entire world. Even though she was indoors, large snowflakes inexplicably began falling around Qingque. A mournful BGM sounded along with it.
Qingque: "No—!!!" (Snow~flakes fluttering, the north wind howling~)
"It's not like that! Senior, you misunderstood!" Fu Xuan desperately explained: "Helm Master Huohuo was just concerned about me. Nothing at all happened between us!"
Huohuo on the side: ?
What does this have to do with me?
"Senior, you have to believe me!"
Qingque stood alone at the doorway. Her face showed both joy and desolation. Her lips moved but made no sound. A moment later, she finally forced herself to speak clearly: "I'm sorry. Perhaps I came at the wrong time."
The moment these words came out, Fu Xuan also understood. Between her and Qingque, a pitiful yet thin thick barrier had already formed.
"Kuuu—"
Qingque turned around and ran away crying.
Fu Xuan, whose body had not fully recovered, could only sit on the bed and watch helplessly as Qingque's figure disappeared from her sight.
·····
"Phew—good thing March isn't here."
In another ward, Stelle let out a long breath. As the chief culprit behind a certain matter, she had now returned to normal. With the "Crimson Moon" accelerating metabolism inside her body, she had completely expelled the medicinal effects in just half an hour.
This was also one of the reasons she could counter-kill March 7th earlier under the influence of "Lust." "Superb endurance" + "superb stamina."
"Stelle, you're better?" Bailu, who had been squatting guard on the side, immediately perked up. After all, Stelle was the helper she had called over. If something had really happened, she would have blamed herself for life!
Fortunately Stelle now looked perfectly fine.
"Of course. Just a few bottles of computer accessories. It's not like I haven't drunk them before." Stelle smiled proudly and waved her hand nonchalantly.
Bailu: "Then Stelle, do you need to recuperate a bit longer? You helped me this time. I can treat you to a meal."
Stelle walked to the door and turned the handle: "Ah… I am indeed a bit hungry. Let's go together then. First find Huohuo and the others to let them know, then I'll take you to…"
Bang!
Before she finished speaking, a petite figure passed by outside the door and coincidentally collided with Stelle who had just stepped out. Both let out an "uwaah" at the same time and fell to the ground together.
"So unlucky…"
Stelle rubbed her head and subconsciously looked toward the figure that had collided with her, meeting the other person's gaze directly.
This was… Qingque? Wasn't she a General? Why would she run into her here?
Eh? Wait, why does she look like she's about to cry? I-I didn't do anything, right?!
