It's good that it's all right...
After all, without Meow-chan's rescue this time, he and An Le were really in trouble.
We can only say, Hachimiku is useful!
"Cold...so cold..."
At this moment, the weak voice of An Le in his arms drew Yan Huan's attention.
He glanced at An Le, who was shivering in the seawater with her eyes half-closed.
An Le shouldn't have any sensation, and naturally, it wasn't the cold seawater making her feel cold...
Yet at this moment, through her soaked and semi-transparent clothes, Yan Huan clearly saw patches of white Snake Scales still growing and spreading on her body...
It was those white Snake Scales that made her feel extremely cold.
"Not good..."
Yan Huan took a deep breath and quickly summoned the pink crab that was curled up.
He lifted An Le up, then brought the Crab Medicine close to her lips.
"Buzz..."
Strangely, as it approached An Le's lips, the Crab Medicine began to melt as if sensing it itself.
In the light of the pink meteor, the Crab Medicine quickly turned into a stream of nectar, flowing into her mouth automatically.
"Mmm..."
Feeling the liquid entering her body, An Le frowned slightly, seemingly because it was very bitter.
But at the moment the magic potion touched her throat, a miracle happened...
The radiant glow of the nectar passed through, and all ailments and scales vanished entirely.
Her pale skin returned to a tender pink, and her previously trembling body gradually calmed down.
Everything seemed to return to the starting point.
Not only were the side effects eliminated, but even the modifier's progress was reset to zero...
No, to be precise, the modifier's progress and side effects were two sides of the same coin, which is why they were both eliminated.
"It worked..."
Seeing An Le calm down in his arms, Yan Huan finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Splash...splash..."
And yet, the cold seawater was still lapping against their lower bodies at this moment.
To prevent the completely recovered An Le from getting cold, Yan Huan gently helped the still-unconscious An Le to stand and surveyed the surroundings.
This was a wide beach that seemed deserted.
The beach was backed by a cliff roughly several tens of meters high, and the exact location was uncertain.
However, near the cliff, a traditional wooden cabin came into Yan Huan's view.
"Is there anyone here?"
Supporting An Le, Yan Huan took Meow-chan and walked over there.
But upon getting closer, Yan Huan realized this was seemingly a temporary resting spot for fishermen when they go out to sea, and currently, there was no one there.
The wooden cabin's door was unlocked, and pushing open the sliding door revealed the rolling sea under the moonlight—an exquisite sea view room.
Inside was well-stocked with heating and lighting equipment, canned food, and other supplies, though they were mostly covered in dust, indicating no one had been here for a while...
Yan Huan patted the dust off, opened the wardrobe, and saw neatly folded bedding and cushions.
He took them out and laid them down, settling the still unconscious An Le, then went to sort out the lighting and heating equipment.
"The heating equipment has no power source, huh? Do fishermen usually bring temporary power sources when they come?"
Yan Huan managed to light the kerosene lamp, but despite looking at the small heater repeatedly, he couldn't figure out how to turn it on.
"Mmm..."
At this moment, a soft whimper sounded behind him.
Yan Huan turned back and saw An Le rubbing her eyes as she woke up.
"You're awake, An Le?"
"Hmm..."
An Le nodded instinctively, but she seemed a bit dazed, perhaps because she hadn't fully woken up.
She dumbly looked at her fingers, stretched them out several times, and then showed a puzzled expression,
"There's...sense? A sense of moisture...I wasn't...uh?"
Feeling the discomfort of wetness from all over her body, she looked down and saw the soaked clothes clinging to her.
Seeing this, Yan Huan smiled with concern,
"We both got soaked by seawater just now, so you can take your clothes off to dry later."
"Okay..."
Hearing this, An Le obediently nodded and immediately began taking off the wet clothes on her body.
"Tap..."
Watching her dumbly undoing the buttons, Yan Huan swallowed a gulp and quickly stepped up to stop her,
"Wait, I said to take them off later!"
"Ah...okay...alright..."
An Le widened her eyes, immediately stopped her actions obediently, and looked at Yan Huan in front of her.
But upon getting closer, under the light, Yan Huan noticed her wet clothes clinging to her body made the skin color faintly visible.
Instead, it looked even more suggestive.
"..."
Seeing this, Yan Huan awkwardly shifted his eyes a bit.
But in the next second, An Le seemed to have become more conscious, and countless memories surged in.
She recalled appearing in the sky with Yan Huan earlier and being swept away by the cat-like clouds...
Superpower?
Then, she widened her eyes and quickly asked,
"Xiao Huan, do you...also have superpowers?"
Facing her astonished question, Yan Huan hesitated for a moment but realized there was no avoiding it.
Don't forget, he doesn't have these memory alterations of the modifier hosts.
To save someone earlier, he had fully exposed his abilities.
Indeed, Yan Huan could continue pretending.
But An Le wasn't Spencer; although she might tactfully go along with Yan Huan outwardly, she's actually perceptive.
Once she starts questioning, she'll instantly understand.
