Happiness (Chapter 100) {V1 Ends}
Ye Sheng excitedly hugged the little one and then, overjoyed, took out three pieces of black energy stones, placing them all in the little one's hands.
The energy stones they had found before were not of high grade, but now, with these Grade A energy stones, Ye Sheng was confident enough to heal the little one's injuries.
The little one would soon be able to stand up again!
However, Gu Luoyu lowered his head to look at the energy stones in her hand. As an esper, she didn't need any machines to detect the exact energy values; a simple touch was enough.
They were indeed Grade A energy stones.
Gu Luoyu's red eyes narrowed in confusion for a moment. Then, when she looked up at Ye Sheng, her expression immediately turned into one of joyful excitement. Compared to her usual quiet and calm demeanor, there was now a lively and vibrant quality to her.
This made her already very beautiful face even more radiant and striking, easily stirring a lake of spring water and causing ripples that made it hard for anyone to remain calm.
"Ye Sheng, you..."
Gu Luoyu's words were filled with emotion, and then she seemed to choke up, unable to speak further.
After pausing for a moment, she finally managed to recover a bit and continued, "Ye Sheng, you worked so hard to get these energy stones. Once I’m healed, it will be my turn to earn money and support us."
Although Ye Sheng helped the little one recover from her injuries without any expectation of repayment, it was simply an act from her heart.
She wanted the little one to fully recover!
However, hearing the little one now take the initiative to talk about earning money and supporting the family made Ye Sheng feel incredibly warm inside. Everyone likes to hear kind words, and Ye Sheng was no exception.
As for the little one being an ungrateful, that was impossible!
They had been living together for quite some time now, and if the little one were an ungrateful, her disguise and acting would be too good, showing no flaws at all. Speaking of disguise, Ye Sheng couldn't help but think of Valkyria.
She had to admit, Valkyria seemed like a schizophrenic; extremely cute when docile, but terrifying when she went crazy.
Chopping people into three pieces without hesitation...
Ye Sheng gently shook her head, stopping herself from overthinking.
There were still some unavoidable topics that needed to be addressed.
"Gu Luoyu, once you’re better, do you want to go home and take a look?"
"Home?"
Gu Luoyu was happily absorbing the energy, filling the emptiness inside her. When she heard Ye Sheng's words, her expression froze for a moment before she showed a sorrowful look and shook her head at Ye Sheng.
"Ye Sheng, I no longer have a home to return to... I can never go back..."
As she spoke, Gu Luoyu's head drooped sadly, and her pink hair fell, covering her face.
At that moment, the sadness on Gu Luoyu's face changed, and a grin involuntarily spread across her lips. Her red eyes were filled with madness.
Once she recovered, of course she would go home.
She needed to give those old folks a surprise!
Seeing that her question had made the little one sad, Ye Sheng felt like hitting herself for her thoughtlessness. She worried that Gu Luoyu might be too upset and hurriedly reached out to hug her.
Since Gu Luoyu was sitting and Ye Sheng was standing, it was easy for her to offer a warm embrace.
As Ye Sheng gently patted Gu Luoyu's back, she spoke in a gentle yet firm voice, "Do you remember my promise? As long as I have something to eat, you won’t go hungry, even after you recover."
Gu Luoyu's body stiffened, a reaction Ye Sheng clearly felt.
Seeing that her emotions had stabilized a bit, Ye Sheng continued speaking softly into her ear, "It’s okay, Gu Luoyu. From now on, my home is your home!"
Ye Sheng wasn't sure if her words had comforted Gu Luoyu, but she found herself on the verge of tears instead.
As she spoke, her voice choked up, and she hugged the little one even tighter, her eyes reddening, as if she might cry at any moment.
Meanwhile, held tightly by Ye Sheng, Gu Luoyu felt no emotional waves. She had no concept of family, so no matter how much was said, it was of no use. She merely found Ye Sheng amusing.
Yet, not long ago, being near Ye Sheng used to calm her mental state.
Now it suddenly wasn’t working anymore?
Instead, she noticed a pleasant scent.
Taking advantage of the hug, Gu Luoyu gently closed her eyes and discreetly sniffed Ye Sheng. It was a scent she liked!
It made her somewhat reluctant to kill her.
But Ye Sheng knew too much and had to die.
Ye Sheng's secrets were not simple. If she couldn’t uncover them, she needed to act first and not let Ye Sheng continue to grow... the means to stabilize psychic powers was akin to holding the neck of a Esper.
Gu Luoyu, however, didn't like being controlled by anyone.
Even if it meant dying from mental breakdown, she wouldn't allow herself to be tamed and controlled by others.
"Things will only get better from now on."
Gu Luoyu's cold expression lasted just a second before it transformed into the gentle smile Ye Sheng was familiar with.
She imitated Ye Sheng by patting her back and, after offering a few simple words of comfort, finished absorbing the three energy stones, which were now empty shells devoid of energy.
From previous experiences with absorbing energy stones, Gu Luoyu knew that even without continuous absorption, the energy within her body could circulate on its own, needing only time to heal her injuries.
With the acceleration provided by the Grade A energy stones, the bones broken and fractured throughout her body were immediately repaired.
Next, the severed tendons and severe scars healed.
As her external injuries healed, Gu Luoyu regained about sixty percent of her strength. The energy from the stones wasn't enough for complete recovery, but it was sufficient for now.
Finally, Gu Luoyu could stand and walk again.
After she stood up slowly and took a tentative step forward, despite not having walked for some time, she remained steady with no sign of falling. In fact, she quickly adapted as she moved.
Her body, which had been lying for so long, swiftly returned to normal.
It was hard to believe she had once been severely injured with broken bones and severed tendons!
Was the physique of an Esper that strong?
Amazing!
However, after walking for a while, Gu Luoyu grew pale from exhaustion, prompting Ye Sheng to quickly intervene and stop her.
"Gu Luoyu, take it easy for now. When it gets dark, I'll take you out for a walk."
"Okay."
Naturally, Gu Luoyu wouldn't refuse Ye Sheng's offer to go out for a walk.
She had been lying in this small shack for a long time.
It was time to go out and see the world.
Then, Ye Sheng began to recount the interesting events of their trip to the star iron mine, omitting the details about the S-class polluted creature and the Black Spring Freemasonry.
No need to worry the little one.
Nor mention Ling Lan, Han Weiwei, and Valkia...
They were just passing figures, not worth mentioning!
Ye Sheng touched her nose, thinking about the bag full of star iron stones Valkyria had given her, which made her eager to move house.
Luckily, there was still time.
Valkyria and the Smiling Man needed to oversee the star iron mine for a while and couldn’t immediately return to the base safe zone, giving her the opportunity to quickly move house and escape!
Due to the adverse effects of the psychic soothing potion, Ye Sheng had been incessantly spraying herself with perfume for the past few days.
She feared encountering any accidents during this time.
After all, given her unique propensity to attract trouble, she couldn’t be too careful.
Fortunately, the journey was smooth without any incidents, and the effects of the perfume on Ye Sheng would wear off in another two hours... finally allowing her to breathe easy, without constant worry.
Around the little one, she didn’t need to be on guard all the time. Instead, she needed more intimate contact.
Since witnessing the "madness" of a Espers, Ye Sheng felt that frequent soothing could make the little one more comfortable.
While listening to Ye Sheng recount the interesting events of this trip, Gu Luoyu noticed some inconsistencies in the details, causing her to raise an eyebrow. She realized Ye Sheng was deliberately hiding certain things.
Getting smarter?
Gu Luoyu thought about this, while nearby, Ye Heiya (Swan) had been trained to be exceptionally well-behaved.
Seeing Ye Sheng, the Swan’s eyes welled up with tears, almost as if it wanted to cry and dive into her arms to get away from this powerful madwoman!
It truly scared the Swan!
But without Gu Luoyu's command, Ye Heiya didn’t dare move.
Fearing that if it did, it might become roasted swan.
By the time Ye Sheng walked back home from the city gate, it was already late. Not long after, about an hour and a half later, the sky transitioned from twilight to night, and the red moon began to rise.
Because the red moonlight had mild radiation, Ye Sheng, after dressing herself properly, draped a cloak over her head before stepping out. Gu Luoyu, due to her recent recovery, walked slowly, with the well-behaved Ye Heiya following behind, waddling along.
The mitigation zone was especially quiet at night, without even the sound of insects, making the walk less enjoyable, leading Ye Sheng to steal glances at the little one.
Even without torches, the red moonlight softly illuminated the path ahead, casting a mysterious red veil over everything, making it seem like a peculiar dream.
Unlike Ye Sheng, who guarded against the moonlight radiation, Gu Luoyu, as a psychic esper, didn’t need to worry about radiation.
Thus, she didn’t dress tightly but wore a white long dress, walking through the night.
The red moonlight fell on her face, making her appear like a flawless deity.
Her eyelashes fluttered gently, and her red eyes sparkled.
Even though Ye Sheng had seen the beautiful Ling Lan and Valkyria, the combined beauty of the two couldn’t compare to the little one.
Such beauty was simply beyond the reach of mortals!
They say that a beauty under the light becomes more beautiful the longer you look, and now it seemed the same applied to a beauty under the moon!
Ye Sheng was utterly captivated by the beauty before her.
This was the joy of an admirer of beauty.
After accompanying Gu Luoyu for half an hour, they reached the wilderness adjacent to the mitigation zone. Looking up at the tall, swaying polluted plant leaves in the wind, Gu Luoyu felt inclined to continue their walk.
Naturally, Ye Sheng didn’t refuse, wanting only to make the little one happy.
She was no longer the weakling she once was; she could even fight off porcupine mice now.
She could protect the little one!
"Do you remember? It was on a night with a red moon, just like this, when I followed a crowd to the junkyard. I hadn’t eaten for two days and couldn’t afford even a single nutrient vial, so I had to drink water to suppress my hunger."
Ye Sheng looked up at the red moon above, recalling her anxious and helpless self from that time.
Yet, in such a short period, so much had changed!
It felt unreal now.
Everything began to change from the moment she picked up the little one, transforming her life drastically.
"Then, at the junkyard, I found a small box of nutrient vials, which made me so happy. I wanted to try my luck again and ended up finding you under a wooden plank."
As Ye Sheng spoke, she kept an eye on Gu Luoyu's condition. Noticing her fatigue from all the walking, she immediately reached out to support her arm.
At that moment, the perfume Ye Sheng had sprayed wore off, and the effects of the Psychic soothing potion resumed.
Gu Luoyu, whose arm was being supported, froze as that strange feeling of mental calm returned.
It seemed that physical contact with Ye Sheng could achieve this special effect.
Gu Luoyu’s red eyes narrowed, and she gently shook her arm free, then smoothly changed her posture to clasp hands with Ye Sheng, interlocking their fingers.
Sure enough, her mental state became even more stable, confirming Gu Luoyu's suspicions.
Her gaze turned cold, and a surge of murderous intent flooded her mind.
