Chapter 283 A two-pronged approach
"That door is broken. How can we get people out if we don't take it down?" Dean Wen retorted speechlessly.

“If you are afraid, you can leave here first,” an officer said with concern.

"Hurry up and dismantle the door," Dean Wen urged impatiently.

After the explosion-proof isolation door was removed, Dean Wen took the lead and entered the isolation room. Ning Xuan followed without hesitation. After Ying Yaoshi and his group went in, Qin Hongyu and the others followed hesitantly.

"Ah!" Qin Hongyu cried out in horror when she saw Shen Shiyi lying on the ground.

"How did he become like this?" Qin Hongyu pointed at Shen Shiyi and shouted in a shrill voice.

Although Shen Shiyi was in human form, his entire body was covered in blue scales, and his hands were still shaped like claws, which looked somewhat eerie.

"Hongyu, if you keep shouting, please leave." The red threads released by Dean Wen were piercing Shen Shiyi's limbs and torso. Qin Hongyu's shout startled Shen Shiyi, causing Dean Wen to almost miss his target.

“Miss Ning, your spiritual power still remains in his spiritual sea. You are responsible for cleaning the pollution in his spiritual sea, and I will remove the toxins from his blood,” Dean Wen said to Ning Xuan.

“Okay.” Ning Xuan agreed and sent her mental tendrils into Shen Shiyi’s mind.

As soon as Ning Xuan's spiritual tendrils entered Shen Shiyi's spiritual sea, they were entangled by thick dark matter.

The pollutants wriggled like living creatures, their surfaces covered in slime, and they all rushed towards Ning Xuan, the intruder.

Ning Xuan's mental energy tendrils suddenly burst forth with bright light. Her mental energy tendrils condensed into nine golden needles, which precisely pierced into the tangled black veins.

The pollutants within her spiritual sea exploded into a shower of black rain, each drop falling to the ground. Ning Xuan's spiritual power shone brightly, vaporizing the black pollutants.

Shen Shiyi's mental energy struggled out of the pollutants, and his mental energy began to have the power to resist, gradually suppressing those dark substances.

At the same time, Dean Wen used her unique treatment method to clear the toxins from Shen Shiyi's blood vessels. With the two treatments working together, about 20 minutes later, the scales on Shen Shiyi's body gradually shrank back into his body.

Those sharp claws also returned to the shape of hands.

Ning Xuan withdrew from Shen Shiyi's mental sea, and Shen Shiyi opened his eyes.

Shen Shiyi was previously affected by the berserk genes of the alien beast, which caused his body to mutate and his mental power to collapse, making him unable to control his behavior. However, he actually retained a trace of his sanity at that time. From the moment Ning Xuan appeared and comforted him with her mental power, and the flames spewed by his companion spirit suppressed his berserk companion spirit, Shen Shiyi remembered everything Ning Xuan did for him.

He knew perfectly well that if Ning Xuan hadn't appeared, he would have gone completely berserk and been destroyed long ago.

Just now, when Ning Xuan probed his spiritual sea with her spiritual tendrils to cleanse the pollutants within, he realized that his spiritual sea offered no resistance to Ning Xuan's spiritual power, and even seemed to crave it. "Miss, thank you for saving my life. I have no way to repay your kindness. I... I will serve for another three years, after which I can choose to transfer to civilian work or retire. Miss, I wish to retire and form a bond with you, to live the rest of my life only for you. Please grant my request," Shen Shiyi pleaded, kneeling before Ning Xuan as soon as he regained consciousness.

“Uh, no need. Well, Dean Wen also participated in your treatment. In fact, it was Dean Wen who initially treated you. He has treated you quite a bit before, hasn’t he? If you want to repay his kindness, just repay Dean Wen.” Ning Xuan said hurriedly.

"General Shen has taken a liking to you. What does this have to do with the life-saving grace? Let's go. I've saved so many people, and I've never met anyone who wants to repay me with their body." Dean Wen pushed up his glasses and left with the medical team.

“Miss, I…” Shen Shiyi wanted to say something more, but Ying Yaoshi patted him hard on the shoulder. “Shen Shiyi, Ning Xuan was willing to save you because you fought bravely on the battlefield and made contributions to the Federation. She was selfless and asked for nothing in return.”

"Let's go, Xuanxuan." Ying Yaoshi put his arm around Ning Xuan and left the isolation room.

"Hey, no, what do you mean, Ying Shuai? That young lady's surname is Ning, Ning Xuan, and her name is beautiful. Miss Ning Xuan saved my life, and I want to pursue her. Is there a problem?" Shen Shiyi looked at his brothers in confusion.

“Yes, there is a serious problem.” An officer looked at Shen Shiyi with great sympathy in his eyes.

"You didn't even ask who Miss Ning is? You're already pursuing her the moment you open your eyes. Just wait and see how Ying Shuai makes things difficult for you." Seeing that Shen Shiyi was alright, the senior generals were in the mood for jokes.

"What's your background? I don't think there's a Ning surname among the major noble families of the Federation. Is Miss Ning from a very powerful background? It doesn't matter, there's no limit to the number of contractors. I'm a general-level officer in the Federation, and my appearance isn't bad either. Am I not even qualified to become a contractor?" Shen Shiyi used to be focused on the battlefield and didn't have much affection for women. But today, being saved by Ning Xuan, his heart suddenly felt like it was blooming. He had never felt this way before.

"Guess why Miss Ning is at the base?"

“No need for him to guess. Just tell him directly, Shi Yi, Ning Xuan is Ying Shuai’s sworn sister. Didn’t you ask where Yan Fuzhen went before? Yan Fuzhen has been by Ning Xuan’s side the whole time. Ying Shuai sent her there.” An officer said bluntly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Shiyi felt as if the sky had fallen.

The woman who had never appeared before, Ying Shuai's sworn sister, was not unfamiliar to them at all.

Everyone has witnessed how much Ying Shuai cares about his sworn sister over the past year. For her sake, Ying Shuai has planted countless intelligence agents on the central star. Because of this, they have been very successful in acquiring strategic resources this year, and they have not been strangled by government departments on the battlefield.

"The commander's patron is actually like this. Ah, why don't I have such good luck? Miss Ning Xuan is beautiful and has a high level of spiritual power. The key is that she was actually willing to come to the battlefield of the Myriad Meteor Star Domain for the commander." Shen Shiyi felt very sad. His feelings died before they even began.

"Come on, you're lucky to have survived. Tonight, the brothers will throw a feast for you, we'll drink until we drop," a general said, putting his arm around Shen Shiyi.

“Alright, let’s drink until we’re drunk,” Shen Shiyi replied.

"Gently, gently, the blood is about to seep out and will get your hands dirty," Ying Yaoshi said softly to Ning Xuan.

"What is your relationship with Qin Hongyu?" Ning Xuan asked, pinching Ying Yaoshi's arm.
