Zhao Xi left; she ultimately still had to handle matters from above.
She didn't like that Order Card existing in Suoluo City, and it wasn't hard to see that Zhao Xi actually somewhat hoped someone would steal that card.
"Take good care of your mechanical dragon. Next time we meet, I don't want to see it broken."
This was the last thing Zhao Xi said before leaving.
The vast platform space returned to tranquility.
Zhao Lin, who had remained mostly silent until now, finally let out a relieved sigh.
"Brother Qiyan, are you very familiar with that Grand Judge?"
"Didn't you hear everything? First time meeting, it's just because of this mechanical dragon that..."
Before he could finish speaking.
"What's wrong?"
"Quiet."
He looked up toward the sky.
The grid-like space began to bulge outward, indicating that another train was being transmitted here.
Who could it be? Gina?
But then the grid shattered violently.
A severely damaged train fell from the sky, crashing heavily onto the ground in a particularly miserable state.
He had seen this train before - it was exactly the one Menrojina used when confronting Zhao Xi in the air.
"Sister Gina?"
After a moment's hesitation, Ye Qiyan quickly approached.
The train doors opened.
What greeted his eyes was a staff-sword broken in two and Menrojina lying on the ground with a deep wound in her abdomen.
Most of her mask had shattered, revealing the face hidden beneath.
Her dark golden eyes were unnaturally dim. Seeing Ye Qiyan arrive, she struggled to get up but couldn't move due to her injuries.
"Cough... To let a junior see me in such a miserable state, how embarrassing..."
"Huff... huff... I've never been this battered before."
She gasped for breath, her body trembling constantly from the pain.
"Stop moving. The wound is serious. If this continues, you'll probably die."
Though not a doctor, Ye Qiyan could clearly see how critical Menrojina's condition was.
Her wheat-colored face, revealed by the broken mask, was completely bloodless, and her dark golden eyes kept losing focus.
These were signs that her end was near.
She was dying.
"I know, hehe... but none of that matters anymore."
Menrojina pulled out a black box from beneath her body.
"I underestimated that seal, and somewhat underestimated Suoluo City too. But they also underestimated me, cough... This is that seal. How does it look? Quite ordinary, right..."
"The seal?"
"Hehe~ I couldn't break the seal to get what's inside, so I just took the entire seal. In a way, I suc... succeeded..."
Menrojina's expression grew increasingly dazed as she lay on the ground. Several scattered ritual cards floated around her, as if mourning, mourning their master who was about to depart.
She pushed the box toward Ye Qiyan's hand.
"For you... though I don't even know what's inside, hehe... If you ever break the seal someday, remember to tell me via private chat..."
Ye Qiyan silently accepted the box and placed it aside. Looking at Menrojina, he asked:
"How can I help you?"
Menrojina shook her head and smiled with resignation.
"Can't be helped. This wound was caused by a Curse Card. If I had enough time, I might have found a way to break it. Unfortunately... Unless Shaya were here right now, hehe. Sadly, she's not. Only her power could break this curse in the little time I have left."
Shaya's power? Ye Qiyan raised an eyebrow slightly, suddenly remembering something. Under Menrojina's gaze, he quickly ran back to his train and pulled out a lollipop from the ordinary storage unit.
"Will this work?"
Returning to Menrojina's train, she lay on the ground and smiled weakly at Ye Qiyan.
"I..."
"Open your mouth."
"Mmph!"
A sweet fragrance burst in Menrojina's mouth.
Ye Qiyan shoved the entire lollipop into Menrojina's mouth.
Her eyes widened slightly. In that instant, the wound that had been continuously bleeding suddenly stopped. Then, rich life energy wove new flesh from the wound area, counteracting the residual curse until complete recovery.
On her flat, smooth abdomen, if not for the residual blood, it would be hard to imagine there had once been a vicious, life-threatening wound there.
Pop—
Seeing that Menrojina had recovered, Ye Qiyan withdrew his hand, pulling the lollipop out of her mouth.
Looking at the tiny remaining bit of candy, he sighed with a hint of pain.
"Almost nothing left, Sister Gina. Remember to pay me back - this was expensive."
Menrojina remained stunned for a long moment before finally sitting up straight. She touched her abdomen, looking at Ye Qiyan with disbelief.
"What did you do to me?"
"Saved you. This candy was given to me by Sister Shaya. Didn't you say only her power could break the curse?"
[Shaya's Healing Lollipops (Level 8)]
[If not dead, then can be saved]
Ye Qiyan truly understood the value of that description now.
"...Thank you."
Menrojina stood up, lightly licking the residual sweetness from her lips.
"You saved me. I never expected that a newcomer would save my life..."
Ye Qiyan shrugged.
"Didn't that charlatan senior say it? That I would be useful when I came here. Seems like this is my usefulness, right?"
"Hehe... Don't listen to that charlatan. The fate she speaks of isn't necessarily all correct. Anyway, thank you. Mmm... I will repay you. But before that... could you let me change clothes?"
She pointed to her abdomen exposed to the air.
"Sure thing."
Walking outside the train, Zhao Lin was curiously peering inside.
"Brother Qiyan, whose train is this? Another person you know?"
"Yes, a quite nice senior. Better looking than you."
"Huh? I'm... I'm not ugly either."
Zhao Lin puffed her cheeks, quite dissatisfied with Ye Qiyan's comment, but this dissatisfaction didn't last long.
When Menrojina changed clothes and stepped out of the train, the mask on her face had completely disappeared.
A face that would make even other women extremely jealous caused Zhao Lin to instantly lose confidence.
Menrojina leaned on her staff-sword and walked straight over. Seeing Zhao Lin hiding behind Ye Qiyan, she smiled gently.
"And this is?"
"A friend, named Zhao Lin. Another unfortunate soul from the same batch as me. I brought her along to brush off some bad luck."
"She's very pretty. Little sister Zhao Lin, hehe~ Could you give me and Ye Qiyan some time? I have some matters to discuss with him."
