"But...but I'm just curious..."

Danzhu looked aggrieved.

himeko then took out a cigarette that he had smoked countless times, flicked his finger to produce a flame, and lit the cigarette.

She was also curious about Alicia's so-called method of purifying blood, but compared to that, she was more concerned about Lin Yu's situation, and that came second.

As long as Lin Yu can be cured, the methods and means are not important to her.

Beside Himeko, two security personnel stood nervously, glancing every now and then at the head of the Australian branch of the Firemoth.

Having gained a clear understanding of Himeko's authority, they felt both respect and fear towards him.

The two of them stood there like statues, not daring to move an inch.

"Just wait patiently, Ellie will come out when it's over..."

himeko gently exhaled a puff of smoke as he spoke.

"Ah! Himeko-sama, what kind of skill is that? It's so amazing!"

Danzhu caught a glimpse of the flame that had just shot out from Himeko's finger and leaned closer to Himeko, asking curiously.

She seems to be like a curious child, full of curiosity about things that are new to her.

himeko smiled slightly: "Would you believe me if I said it was magic?"

She didn't want the Cangxuan sisters to know her current situation yet, since those two little ones were loose-lipped and might accidentally reveal her secrets at any time.

If the headquarters of the Firemoth were to find out that she was hiding a Herrscher within her, the Firemoth would probably not be able to keep her.

"Tch, stingy, I don't believe in any magic."

Upon hearing this, Danzhu knew that Himeko was just trying to appease her, so she pouted and started whining.

"I think you should just stay put. Aren't you tired of running around all the time?"

Cang Xuan looked at Dan Zhu helplessly. His younger sister was just like Tian Sheng, with ADHD, and she just couldn't stop.

This time, however, Danzhu seemed to actually listen to her and behaved himself. But he seemed to be thinking about something, touching his chin and falling into deep thought.

"what!"

After a while, she suddenly clapped her hands, as if she had thought of something.

Cang Xuan didn't want to talk to her, so he went to sit down on the other side by himself.

Danzhu's dark eyes darted around, and a smug smile appeared on his lips.

She jogged over to Cang Xuan's side and deliberately lowered her voice, saying, "Sister, I've thought of a good idea. Didn't we go to the control room before? It has surveillance cameras for all the labs, so we can see..."

Upon hearing this, Cang Xuan tapped Dan Zhu's head again, "Aren't you afraid that Sister Alicia will find out and punish you?"

"Ouch...it hurts!"

Danzhu pitifully covered her head where Cangxuan had hit her, "But I'm just curious, and aren't you curious too, sister? I don't believe you. You're definitely not showing it on purpose. I know you're just as curious about this as I am."

As biological sisters, she and Cangxuan knew each other very well, and both of them had a strong interest in the unknown.

However, the two behaved differently. Cang Xuan was curious, but on the surface he could pretend not to care.

Danzhu couldn't hide her inner thoughts at all; her worries were almost always written on her face.

Seeing that Cang Xuan didn't hit her this time and even seemed somewhat tempted, Dan Zhu smiled and continued to coax, "Sister, we're just going to take a look. We just won't let anyone else know, okay? This is something only you, me, heaven, earth, and no one else will know."

As she spoke, she nudged Cang Xuan's lower abdomen with her elbow.

"But...but how are we going to tell Himeko-sama? If we just leave like this, won't Himeko-sama become suspicious?"

Cang Xuan was finally tempted and decided to go to the control room with Dan Zhu to check on the laboratory.

"Hehe, don't worry about that. It's too easy for me. Of course I have a way."

Danzhu chuckled, revealing a smile that said, "I'll take care of you."

Immediately, her face darkened, revealing a look of extreme pain, her features contorted in agony.

"Oh dear, my stomach hurts so much..."

She was hunched over, half-squatting on the ground, looking like she was in great pain.

Upon seeing this, Cang Xuan immediately understood and stood up, looking at Dan Zhu with concern: "Dan Zhu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

She pretended to help Danzhu up.

"what happened?"

himeko stubbed out his cigarette and, hearing Danzhu's shout, came over and asked with concern.

"Ugh... my stomach hurts so much, I think I ate something bad..."

Danzhu tried his best to look extremely pained, and with his half-hunched body, he spoke with difficulty.

Did you eat something that upset your stomach?

himeko was stunned for a moment. Now, most of the Fire Moth's territory had been destroyed, and there wasn't much food left.

Moreover, some of the food might have been affected by the Honkai Beasts they carried, and Himeko began to worry that Danzhu might have accidentally eaten the food that carried Honkai energy.

"Cangxuan, shall we take Danzhu in to examine her? Could she have eaten food containing Honkai energy?"

himeko's expression immediately turned serious upon thinking about this.

These words startled both Cangxuan and Danzhu. Cangxuan quickly waved his hand and explained, "Himeko-sama, I don't think so. Cangxuan and I ate the same food, and I'm fine... She probably just has a stomachache. I'll take her to the bathroom..."

She felt a little guilty as she said this, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. After all, this was the first time she had ever lied to Himeko.

"No, Honkai energy has an incubation period. Cangxuan, you need to check too. If it erupts, neither of you will be able to escape."

himeko continued to look at the two of them very intently.

Upon hearing this, Danzhu panicked and nervously tugged at Cangxuan's sleeve, urging him to quickly think of a solution.

"Uh... really, no need, Himeko-sama. I'll take Danzhu to the restroom first. If it's still not better, we can go get checked later."

"Besides, isn't Sister Alicia still inside treating Lin Yu? It wouldn't be good to disturb her..."

Cang Xuan waved his hand and quickly declined.

If they actually went in, and Himeko found out that Danzhu was faking it, wouldn't she skin them alive?

himeko stared at Cangxuan, vaguely understanding something in her heart. As shrewd as she was, she could tell that Cangxuan seemed to be lying.

However, she didn't expose Cang Xuan. She knew that these two people definitely wanted to see what was going on in the laboratory.

To be honest, after waiting for so long, she was also a little curious about what Alicia and Lin Yu were doing inside.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to send Cangxuan and Danzhu to check on the situation.

"Alright then, you guys go ahead. If anything goes wrong, come back right away, okay?"

himeko's eyes flashed as he gave Cangxuan some instructions.

"Yes, yes! Himeko-sama!"

Cang Xuan felt a tremor in his heart as he looked into Himeko's sharp eyes, fearing that Himeko might have noticed something.

After she agreed, she immediately left with Danzhu, who was pretending to clutch her stomach.

"Hmph, those two little rascals."

himeko watched the two figures disappear into the distance, shook his head, and smiled.

"Oh my god, that scared me to death! If Himeko-sama knew I was faking it, she'd probably tear my mouth apart..."

The two arrived at a place out of Himeko's sight. Danzhu patted his chest, still shaken.

"It was all your fault for coming up with such a terrible idea. If Himeko-sama finds out, I won't be able to control you anymore."

Recalling Himeko's previous gaze, Cang Xuan couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

"Oh, sister, we're just here to see how Alicia purifies things, and I know you won't abandon me."

Danzhu chuckled and took Cangxuan's arm.

"Hmph, you, you just love to cause me trouble."

Cang Xuan tapped Dan Zhu's forehead with annoyance.

The two walked towards the control room.

"Wait a minute, you two, what are you doing here again?"

There were, of course, several security personnel guarding the entrance to the main control room.

These people also happened to be involved in capturing Cangxuan and Danzhu that day, and they had a deep impression of the two sisters.

"What? Himeko-sama sent us, and you're trying to stop us?"

Danzhu puffed out his chest confidently and told the security personnel that he could lie without batting an eye.

Moreover, she had absolutely no good feelings towards these people, and she hadn't even believed them last time.

"Himeko-sama? Did she come to the biological research institute today?"

The leader asked in confusion.

"Big brother, Himeko-sama really came today."

The person next to him leaned close and whispered in his ear.

Recalling their previous experiences, the security personnel now knew that the sisters Cangxuan and Danzhu were not to be trifled with. Although they were unsure whether what Danzhu said was true or false, no one dared to doubt it.

If it's true, Himeko isn't as mild-mannered as Mebius, who could let things slide.

"Hmph, don't cause any trouble once you're inside!"

The security personnel could only issue a stern warning before letting Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu in.

"Tch! You little punk!"

Danzhu puffed out his chest and looked smug, glancing disdainfully at the group of security personnel.

"Hey! You're showing off..."

The security personnel were very resentful, but they didn't dare to do anything to Danzhu, after all, he had Hiseko-sama behind him.

"Danzhu, how do you know these guys will let us in?"
