Why did you provoke me?

Niannian was still a little confused after hearing what Nangong Tianshou said.

"I really believe Uncle Nangong has a treasure. And with our current capabilities, it wouldn't be a loss for him to invest in us." Nian Nian looked at Nangong Tianshou seriously, then turned to look at Jing San.

Looking at Niannian like this, Jing San felt that he might have misunderstood her. He took Niannian's hand and said, "Even if Uncle Nangong doesn't invest, we're still family. If something happens to him, we should be the first to rush to his aid."

"But what if others think Uncle Nangong is taking advantage of us?"

Nangong Tianshou's smile froze. He hadn't expected that the investment Nian Nian mentioned would allow him to legitimately take advantage of them.

He rubbed his slightly sore eyes. "Who said I don't have any good stuff? Just like Niannian said, I'll invest in you guys. When you get something good, remember to send it to me right away."

When Niannian heard that they were to send the good stuff to him first, he immediately said, "We're not giving it to you for free, we're just giving you priority in choosing."

"I know, you're so young, how come you're more long-winded than an old man like me?" Nangong Tianshou gave Niannian a disdainful look.

"Then you can't try to lower the price; you'd better offer a high price."

Nangong Tianshou patted his pockets. "See? We have money. As long as your stuff is good, money is no problem."

Niannian gave both thumbs up, "Uncle Nangong is so generous."

A minor incident passed, and Nian Nian and Jing San led everyone out of the fourth battlefield and headed towards the second battlefield.

Meanwhile, deep within the second battlefield, Yu Meng stood alone, her brows slightly furrowed.

She tentatively took a step forward, and the aliens around her actually parted to the sides, making way for her.

Yu Meng stared at the aliens before her, large and small, densely packed together. Her scalp tingled; on any other day, she would have hovered in the air, never lingering among them.

She took this risk in order to verify her hypothesis.

The result did not disappoint her; the Xenomorph Mother was indeed the king of these Xenomorphs. And what king would not kneel before his king?

Watching the aliens scatter to either side, making way for each other, Yu Meng knew she couldn't stay with Nian Nian and the others. Given her unusual appearance, she absolutely couldn't let anyone else see her. Otherwise, even if she had ten mouths, she wouldn't be able to explain herself.

The long-haired man once said that there are other worlds besides theirs. Who knows if people from other worlds might also be lurking in this world.

They marked the unusual areas and left a voice message for Niannian: "Be careful when you come in. The aliens here are quite special. When you encounter them, peel off their skin first before doing anything else."

"Fourth Sister, we've already set off. Are you saying you're not coming with us?"

"Yes, I have something to do, so I won't be with you."

Old Chen received instructions from the long-haired man that he should let Nian Nian and her group pass without asking any questions when they arrived.

He recognized Nian Nian; she was the one who had cleansed the alien from his body. He never expected her to have such abilities.

Teacher Feng was quite excited. She ran over and said, "Niannian, it really is you. I know a bit about the situation here and can show you the way."

Niannian knew that her son had essentially become a follower of her fourth sister, but she did not refuse her request.

"Teacher Feng, I heard you went in alone? I really admire you. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to go in by myself." Niannian hugged Teacher Feng's arm and said affectionately.

Teacher Feng is a smart woman; very few people know that she went to the second battlefield alone. Niannian's words indicate that she knows about Yu Meng's relationship with them.

Teacher Feng patted Niannian's hand, "I had no choice, it's my family's business, I always have to be there first. Oh, by the way, where's your sister? Why didn't she come?"

Niannian pouted, "Who knows what she's been up to? I haven't seen her in ages." Her tone was full of displeasure.

"Perhaps she has more important things to do," Teacher Feng said, trying to smooth things over.

"Teacher Feng, why do we only see you here? Where are the others?" Niannian asked curiously. The Chen family is no ordinary family, so why didn't she see any other bone painters?

Teacher Feng smiled wryly, "Speaking of this, it's nothing. It's human nature to seek advantage and avoid harm. If they don't want to, I can't force them."

Niannian felt indignant for her, saying, "Some people are like that; when they need resources, they reach out faster than anyone else. But when you ask them to do something practical, they make all sorts of excuses." Teacher Feng nodded in agreement. "Human hearts are unpredictable."

The two walked for a while without saying a word.

Niannian suddenly remembered her cousin, so she asked, "Where's your cousin Han? Why didn't she come?"

Teacher Feng smiled wryly, "I'm almost embarrassed to say it, about my cousin..."

Niannian nodded. "What happened to her? You encountered such a big problem, and she's hiding? That's impossible. She doesn't seem like that kind of person."

Ms. Feng sighed, "She's a kind-hearted person." Ms. Feng's face looked a little grim; she didn't know whether to tell Nian Nian what her cousin had done.

"I knew that a long time ago. When she was being treated, she was still thinking about other bone-drawing masters. To be honest, I've never met anyone like her before."

Teacher Feng wanted to sigh again, but then thought, "Forget it, I'll save her some face."

"After returning, she really wanted to help those people and always did research with them. Somehow, her features were infected by that fairy pet again. Now her features are basically completely ruined."

"Ah." Niannian stopped instinctively. "Teacher Feng, what did you say? Her lines have become infected again?"

Ms. Feng looked unwell. "Yes, I really wanted to give her a good beating. You know, she should have just stayed home and let her lines heal. Now look what happened. I've seen her; even if the reinfected lines are healed, it will be very difficult for them to return to their original state."

Niannian nodded. "Teacher Feng, there's no way to save her. She's completely ruined. It's true, if that thing could be understood, so many people wouldn't be suffering like this."

Upon hearing Niannian's words, Teacher Feng hurriedly asked, "Niannian, can't you even help?"

Niannian pointed to her nose, "You mean me?"

Teacher Feng nodded, "I've seen your moves; they're clean and efficient."

Niannian shook her head. "With Fourth Sister not around, I wouldn't dare do this myself. The fairy pet in those lines isn't an alien. If it were an alien, I wouldn't be afraid of any kind of one."

Teacher Feng sighed again. "Niannian, do you think if my cousin offers the same price again, will your fourth sister be willing to participate?"

"Teacher Feng, are you going to plead for her?"

Teacher Feng nodded. "I only have one cousin, and I can't just stand by and watch her become a failure."

"That's true, Fourth Sister is so good to me too. But I never cause her any trouble." Niannian's words were unclear whether they were intentional or unintentional.
