Chapter 207 The Real Reason for Yin Qi's Illness

With one thing after another happening lately, Liang He's focus has been entirely on the Iron-Eating Beast, but that doesn't mean she doesn't care about Yin Qi's situation.

According to Yin Ling's previous description, before Yin Qi arrived, he had been increasingly listless and his periods of deep sleep had been getting longer and longer.

However, after arriving at the protected area, the situation improved significantly, indicating that it was not caused by illness.

“I checked the relevant records on Blue Star and I suspect that Yin Qi’s previous mental decline and slumber were likely due to atavism.”

Because Yin Qi is a mythical beast Qilin, Liang He naturally thought of some legends about Blue Star and consulted many ancient books to find the cause of the illness.

"Atavism?"

Yin Ling was a little confused; this was a direction she hadn't considered before.

The Qilin clan is born exactly as they are, and this will not change even during their evolutionary period.

The influence of their region means that they are mostly ice kirin or snow kirin, with very few being mutated kirin, but that is determined from birth.

"Yes, atavism is rare, but it doesn't mean it doesn't happen."

However, since it is a mythical beast, Liang He could not determine more information from the few words in the ancient books, such as what kind of Qilin Yin Qi had reverted to.
"His condition has improved, which means that the atavism has reached the later stage. Once the atavism is complete, we should be able to know the specifics."

After hearing Liang He's explanation, Yin Ling naturally thought of the evolutionary period. Perhaps Yin Qi was regressing to his ancestral form during the process of evolving into his beast form.

If you calculate the timeline, it falls right in the later stages of the evolutionary period, and everything makes sense.

"I understand. I feel much more relieved to hear that."

Since she wasn't sick, Yinling didn't need to worry. She had to share this good news with the High Priestess so she could be happy too.

Regardless of what form Yin Qi ultimately takes after reverting to his ancestral form, judging from Liang He's explanation, it should be a good thing, as his power will become even stronger, which will naturally be a great boost to the temple.

"Xiao He, thanks to you, otherwise we would still be anxiously worrying about Yin Qi's matter."

When they first noticed something was wrong with Yin Qi, she and the High Priest were very anxious. On one hand, they had to wait for messages from the group to prevent any unscrupulous people from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.

On the other hand, they also had to find a way to treat Yin Qi without alarming others or causing panic. If there hadn't been no improvement, Yin Ling wouldn't have taken the initiative to come to Liang He for help.

"Xiao He, you're my lucky star! From now on, I'll never hesitate to help you whenever you need me!"

As a saintess, Yinling cannot easily make promises in the name of the temple, but personally, she would do her duty to Liang He if he asked!
"It's nothing, A-Ling, don't worry about it."

Perhaps others would be pleased to hear Yin Ling's words, and might even make their own requests.

But Liang He was different. She helped Yin Ling not to seek repayment, but as a zookeeper, she didn't want any furry creatures to be injured or even die because they didn't receive timely treatment.

Therefore, it has nothing to do with Yin Ling's identity or her status in the temple; it's simply that she wanted to do it.

"Okay, we don't need to be so polite between us. Just let me know if you need anything, and I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Yin Ling genuinely considered Liang He a good friend and sister, so she didn't want the two of them to become estranged due to politeness, and simply went along with it.

They played with the furry creatures for a while before Silver Shuttle and Holder called them to dinner.

The arrival of Yin Lie and the others obviously reduced the workload of Holder and Yin Suo; at least the task of carrying dishes from the main service area every day was now taken care of by someone in shifts.

The divine messengers are the most loyal members of the temple, so it is impossible for rebels to infiltrate them, and there is no need to worry about anyone taking the opportunity to poison them.

"Xu Yi said that the antidote sent from Blue Star is almost at Tianyao Star. He and my uncle are going to pick it up in person, just in case."

If it weren't for the time constraints, Hoan would have preferred to send a private plane to pick them up; there was no need to use courier service, a method that would be easily exploited by the rebels.

Fortunately, the rebels' attention seemed to be drawn to the StarNet, and they didn't discover the antidote sent by Pharmacist Qiu, so the journey was smooth. "Once the antidote arrives, conduct experiments first, and don't use it on a large scale directly."

To prevent the antidote from turning into a death sentence again, it's best to be more cautious this time.

Moreover, being safe on the road doesn't mean the antidote hasn't been tampered with. In short, caution is always the best policy.

"Understood, I will remind Lan Zhuo."

Lan Zhuo was in charge of most of the drug research, and it was more reliable for Holder to talk to Lan Zhuo directly.

After dinner, Liang He returned to the dormitory and smiled gently when she saw that Yin Qi was getting along well with the other furry creatures.

"It looks like Yin Qi can start preparing for the training camp."

Keeping Yin Qi locked in the medical room all the time is not good for his physical and mental health. Liang He hopes he can be happier there.

Does he have a favorite color or thing?

Liang He plans to take advantage of the free time now to arrange a small single room for Yin Qi, so that he can freely choose to sleep in the big bed with everyone or sleep alone.

When asked the question, Yin Ling was momentarily speechless.

Since realizing his identity and responsibilities as a divine child, Yin Qi has become much more aloof and doesn't easily reveal his likes and dislikes to others.

"He... doesn't seem to have anyone he particularly likes."

Hearing Yin Ling's answer, Liang He glanced at her with some surprise.

Then she looked at Yin Qi with heartache, wondering if it was because she didn't have anyone she liked, or because she couldn't have anyone, or dared not have anyone.

As a revered mythical beast, perhaps he wasn't as happy as one might imagine?

"It's okay, take your time."

Liang He sincerely hopes that Yin Qi can find the happiness he has lost here.

Judging from Yin Ling's expression, she doesn't seem to be planning to take Yin Qi back just because his condition has improved.

"That's right, that's right, take your time."

Just as Liang He had thought, Yin Ling had no intention of taking Yin Qi back with her.

Ideally, she should persist shamelessly until Yin Qi successfully completes the evolution period; otherwise, she's genuinely worried that something unexpected might happen, leaving her and the High Priest helpless and extremely anxious.

"Holy Maiden! Liang He! Good news!"

Upon hearing Yin Shu's loud and boisterous voice, Yin Ling instinctively rubbed her forehead and smiled wryly, looking at Liang He with a face full of apology, showing a sense of helplessness towards her own mischievous child.

"Silver Shuttle must have come to inform us of the online activity; the Ministry of Information Security may have taken action."

Liang He remained calm. Compared to the occasional howling of the furry creatures, Yin Suo's noise was nothing.

"Since it's good news, let's listen to it."

Seeing that Liang He didn't mind, Yin Ling didn't bother to correct Yin Shuttle anymore. Seeing him running over breathlessly, she even had the mind to let him catch his breath.

Once Yinshuo had caught his breath, they began to ask him what had happened.

"Just like Liang He's friends said, after netizens discovered that Liang He donated all the money she earned to the rescue station, her public image immediately improved!"
