Why did you provoke me?

In the end, Qian Chuan never took his little medicine bottle back.

Xiao Wen actually went to find Yu Meng. Looking at the trusting look in Xiao Wen's eyes, Yu Meng couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Captain Xiao, do you have some misunderstanding about me? I really don't know anything about this potion."

"How could that be? You can make the best medicine, isn't this the same as that?" Xiao Wen didn't give up and pushed the small medicine bottle back to Yu Meng.

Xiao Wen's words did inspire Yu Meng, but she couldn't guarantee the consequences of the drug.

"Captain Xiao, you've known Qian Chuan and his group since you came to the base. Given your relationship, he wouldn't harm you, would he?"

"That's true, but there's no guarantee he won't use me as a test subject. Back then, a few of us were vying to be the backup for the alien parasites, and he was the most enthusiastic, but in the end, he always missed out for various reasons."

Yu Meng couldn't help but laugh. "Have you ever heard the saying, 'Brothers are for betraying, and friends are for taking the blame'?"

Xiao Wen's lips twitched. "Does Niannian know what you're thinking?"

"I'm smart, that's something you all agree on." Yu Meng didn't hold back at all.

Niannian rushed in.

"Brother Qian said he has a special medicine that has miraculous effects on physical recovery. Is it with you?" Niannian looked at Xiao Wen.

"That's what he said?"

"Yes, I went to see Aunt Qing today to check on those bone-drawing masters, and she was there too. We were talking about how their health was really bad, and she mentioned it briefly, saying that you wouldn't give it to them."

"So you came here because you want this potion?"

"Hehe, I'm just curious and want to see."

Xiao Wen handed the small medicine bottle to Nian Nian, "I'd like Teacher Yu to see its effects?"

Niannian took it, glanced at it, and then looked up at Yu Meng. "Fourth Sister, this is so fake!"

"Yes, it's exactly as it was."

Niannian held the small medicine bottle in her hand and looked at it several times. "Why don't we let them try it?" she said, looking at Yu Meng.

Yu Meng glared at her. "How can we give them something we're not even sure about?"

"Anyway, they're in a state of confusion right now."

Xiao Wen and Yu Meng exchanged a glance. This Qian Chuan is something else; even Niannian is speaking up for him.

"Go ask Qian Chuan if he's confident. If he is, then we'll entrust their treatment to him," Yu Meng decided.

"Teacher Yu."

"Fourth Sister?"

"Alright, tell him that if he has anything to say in the future, he should talk to Aunt Qing and not come to me."

Xiao Wen and Niannian both lowered their heads.

"I have things to do, you guys go do whatever you need to do." Yu Meng started to shoo them away.

Xiao Wen got up and left. Nian Nian dawdled over to Yu Meng and said, "Fourth Sister, don't be angry. I won't do it again next time."

"I'm not angry, you can leave now?"

Niannian arrived at Qingyuan's experimental garden listlessly, placed the small medicine bottle on the table, and said, "Fourth Sister said that if you are confident, they will be entrusted to you."

Qian Chuan opened his mouth, then asked in a low voice, "Did Teacher Yu say anything about you?"

Niannian shook her head. "She said that from now on, you should ask Aunt Qing about things in the lab; she doesn't care about these things."

After saying this, Niannian turned and left.

She approached Huang Yan, "Sister Yan, shall we go for a run?"

Huang Yan looked at the huge pile of reports in her hands, feeling a little troubled. "Niannian, I'm very busy."

"Oh," Niannian didn't insist. She went out and found a place, where she sat there hugging her knees and lost in thought.

Looking at the listless Niannian, Huang Yan sighed, put down her work, came to her side, and held out her hand. "Come on, I'll keep you company. But after we finish running, you have to help me with half of it."

"I don't want to run anymore." Niannian's little face drooped, showing no intention of getting up.

Huang Yan stood there and said, "How about we go find Jing San for a duel? I heard he got something good this time."

"real?"

"Why would I lie to you? You're our source of joy, and I don't want you to be all wilted and ugly!"

"Who are you calling ugly?" Niannian jumped up suddenly.

"I didn't say anything. Who heard me?"

You said it, but I didn't hear it.

"That's right. If anyone makes us unhappy, we should put a sack over our heads. Only a fool would get angry."

"Hmph, you think you know everything. Go gamble first, then go put the sacks in."

Huang Yan and Niannian went to the backyard. Huang Yan told Niannian about her situation. Jing San squinted and said, "This is easy. As long as you win, we'll handle everything professionally. How about it?"

"That's it." Nian Nian was the first to release her lines, back to back with Huang Yan.

The melee began, and after only ten minutes, Jing San and his group couldn't hold on any longer and made a hand gesture to the people around them.

People in the room gradually came out to watch the excitement, and before they knew it, the battle was escalating.

Niannian didn't care at all. She slowly revealed her strength, becoming more and more adept at the fight, and her use of lines became more flexible and tricky.

Her mindset gradually changed; she stopped fighting blindly and began to change her perspective.

"Why are you guys so slow? I've used this move three times already, and you still haven't broken through. You're so bad."

"Hey, I'm talking to you! How come you didn't seize such a good opportunity to launch a sneak attack?"

Huang Yan was able to keep up with the pace at first, but later she just went on the defensive.

Jing San's people also tacitly went easy on her.

The game reached its climax, and Huang Yan was completely eliminated.

Niannian was surrounded by her own lines, like countless arms, stretching and contracting freely, attacking from the front, sneaking in from the side, making feints. Niannian completely let go of herself, immersed in her own world.

Jing San and his team had no chance of attacking anymore.

Huang Yan was a little scared looking at Niannian like this, so she secretly went to find Yu Meng.

Yu Meng arrived quickly. She stood there for a while, observing that she had unlocked a new combat mode, which seemed to be still in the exploratory stage, causing some pressure. She hoped it would take shape soon.

Yu Meng's warlike nature also came to life. She gestured for Jing San and the others to step back, and her figure seemed ready to spring into action.

Everyone was excited; they had never seen a battle between two great bone-drawing masters before.

The appearance of Yu Meng's lines immediately alerted Niannian's lines. They paused for only a moment before the lines began to fight each other.

At first, it was just lines clashing, but how could a battle be like a wooden stake, motionless? Her body moved, tentatively launching an attack on Nian Nian, who simply dodged.

Yu Meng guided her, multitasking, controlling the lines to fight while simultaneously maneuvering her body to leap, shift, dodge, and jump.

At first, she was like a puppet. When Yu Meng stimulated a certain part of her body, she would reflexively dodge.

Later, Niannian regained her senses. Yu Meng explained the techniques while hitting her, and Niannian's eyes lit up. The fact that her fourth sister was still willing to teach her proved that she wasn't angry and that she was still the youngest sister.

She was pleased and dragged Jing San and the others back into the fray. The nature of a chaotic battle is that there are no long-term teammates; one second you're allies against an enemy, the next you're adversaries.

Jing San and the others watched the whole process of Yu Meng teaching Nian Nian; they would be doing themselves a disservice if they didn't learn it.

Yu Meng pulled Niannian away halfway through the show. Niannian was so tired that she lay on Yu Meng's back, just laughing. No one knew what she was laughing about.

The melee ended when everyone was lying on the ground.
