As Rosie watched the excitement, her interstellar communication suddenly rang. The caller ID showed it was Mary. She quickly answered, but the anxious face of Mary's partner, Faye, appeared on the screen.
Faye's voice trembled, tears welling in her eyes. "Oh no, Your Excellency! Mary...Mary!"
Luo Xi's heart tightened. Seeing that Faye was so flustered that she could hardly speak, she quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, talk slowly, I'm listening."
Faye took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself, but the tears kept flowing. "Mary hasn't been doing well since she got pregnant. Yesterday she said she was tired and went to bed early. But this morning, when I called her, she didn't respond no matter what I called."
"How could this happen?" Luo Qian's worries grew.
Ling Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Mary is not in a good condition. Why don't you go find Principal Gran? He is Mary's grandfather and a wood-type mutant. He should be able to help."
Faye was stunned for a moment, her eyes becoming even more confused. "Someone told me that only Her Excellency the Saint can save Mary..."
When Luo Xi heard this, her heart tightened: "Who told you?"
Faye thought hard, a dazed look in his eyes: "Ah, I remember now, it was Tim who said that!"
"Tim?" Rosie frowned, obviously familiar with the name.
Mary's new merman companion?
Ling Yuan's expression also turned serious: "Tim? What is his purpose?"
Faye shook her head and said anxiously, "I don't know. He just told me that Mary's condition is critical and only you can help."
Fan Xiao had stopped fighting with Norcia when Luo Xi's expression changed just now. He immediately went to the side of the little female and said immediately after hearing what she said, "Xixi, you can't go. There must be a conspiracy."
Before Rosie responded, Fay's eyes dimmed on the other end of the line. Amidst his anxiety, he sensed something was amiss. But the thought of Mary's unconsciousness intensified, and he became consumed with uncertainty.
Just then, I heard the incredibly beautiful fox half-orc Ling Yuan ask, "Where are the Tim people?"
Fay was stunned, his mind blank. Yeah, where's Tim? He suddenly realized that he hadn't seen Tim since he took Tim's advice.
Faye quickly turned to Mary's other companions who were standing by the communication screen and shouted, "Has anyone seen Tim?"
Several people looked at each other, and finally shook their heads: "None of us has seen him."
Fei's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. With a trembling voice, she could only murmur, "How could this happen? How could this happen..."
Fan Xiao clenched his fists and said in a cold tone, "It's really a trap. Xixi, let us handle this matter. You can't take any risks."
Rosie frowned, feeling uneasy but unwavering. She glanced at Faye, who seemed to be on the verge of collapse, on the screen. Her voice was soft but firm, "Faye, I will help Mary, but I need you to calm down right now. Go find Principal Glen first, and I'll be there as soon as possible."
Mary is not only her best friend, but also her twin sister. She can't just stand by and do nothing.
Not to mention, the last time she was in danger, Mary stood in front of her to block the knife without hesitation for a moment.
The anxiety in Faye's eyes eased a little, and she nodded: "Okay, I'll go find Principal Gran right away."
Luo Xi hung up the phone, and Ling Yuan said thoughtfully, "We can't act rashly. We need to investigate Tim's motives first before we act. We'll go with you to Mary's place... and ask Xingyu to come too."
Rosie nodded. Xingyu was a ninth-level life-type mutant, and maybe he could help Mary's situation.
After Rosie handed the two little ones to Xuanqi and Nosia, who was eating and living there for free, she boarded the aircraft with Fanxiao, Lingyuan and Xingyu and rushed to Mary's home.
When the aircraft landed steadily, the four people hurriedly got out and found that Principal Gran was already on the scene.
The principal was examining Mary carefully, his face heavy as if water could drip from it.
Principal Gran stood up and sighed when he saw Rosie and the others coming. "Where is Mary's partner?"
Faye's face was filled with sorrow, tears glistening in her eyes. "He's gone! I searched the whole house but couldn't find him."
Luo Xi and Ling Yuan looked at each other, knowing that it was useless to ask now.
If it really had something to do with that Tim, he would have been hiding by now.
Everyone watched Principal Gran's actions nervously.
It was unknown how long it took before Principal Gran stopped connecting with his supernatural powers. His expression became even more solemn. He took a deep breath, as if trying to calm his inner shock. "I didn't expect the Kun people to do such a thing right under my nose."
Luo Xi and the others looked at each other in surprise. Ling Yuan's eyes showed shock. "Kun Clan? The Kun Clan in Atlantis, second only to the Sea Clan?"
Principal Gran closed his eyes and nodded gravely, "That's right."
Ling Yuan continued to explain, his tone serious: "The Kun Clan is just like the Poseidon Clan of Atlantis. They are all half-orc races."
"Then how did they pass on their power?" Fan Xiao asked doubtfully, "Isn't it true that only holy females can give birth to orcs?"
Ling Yuan glanced at Luo Qian, his eyes revealing a complex emotion: "Indeed. The Sea God Clan is nurtured by the Sea God Pearl, born by the Holy Female, and the Kun Clan..."
He paused, his eyes turning cold. "The Kun Clan is a predatory race by nature. Without the Holy Female, they have developed a sinister method of their own to continue their race."
The others listened with grave expressions. Ling Yuan continued, "The Kun Tribe can conceive their cubs in females above Rank B. However, these Orc cubs cannot receive the nourishment of the Saint Female's powerful energy during pregnancy and can only grow by absorbing nutrients from the mother."
Faye's face turned pale and she asked in a trembling voice, "What about the mother body?"
Ling Yuan looked at him with a hint of sympathy in his eyes: "The mother will not be able to get enough energy and nutrition, and her physical condition will deteriorate rapidly. She may even be in danger of life due to malnutrition."
All of Fay and Mary's companions now wore grim expressions. Several of the younger ones even began to cry, tears streaming down their faces. The sobs mingled with the tense atmosphere, making them particularly piercing. Fan Xiao looked at these males with disdain. His brow furrowed, he muttered to himself, "What's the point of crying? These whimpering, useless creatures, no wonder they can't protect their companions."
He glanced at Fay and saw that although his face was full of worry, he still managed to remain calm. Fay took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said to Principal Glen, "What should we do now? Is there any way to save Mary?"
Principal Glenn pondered for a moment, stroking his beard with his fingers, and looked at Rosie hesitantly. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't speak.
Ling Yuan stood aside, his red eyes flickering as he carefully observed the principal's expression. He looked at Principal Gran's face, which seemed to have aged considerably, and a complex emotion welled up within him, but he didn't show it. Ling Yuan spoke slowly, his tone firm and calm, "Principal, I'm afraid we can't be of much help with this matter. But if there's anything else we can do, just let me know, and I'll do my best."
Principal Gran's gaze passed over Lingyuan, a hint of disappointment flashing across his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. He nodded and sighed, "Okay, Your Excellency Lingyuan, I understand."
Luo Xi stood aside, silently observing the conversation between Ling Yuan and Principal Gran, her mind filled with doubts. She felt as if there was some hidden understanding between them, a communication she couldn't fully understand. Luo Xi couldn't help but interrupt, "Principal, Ling Yuan, do you know something? If you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't hesitate."
Principal Gran looked at Luo Xi, then at Ling Yuan, a hint of hesitation on his face. Ling Yuan frowned slightly, then shook his head: "Xixi, don't worry about this matter."
Rosie bit her lip unwillingly, a vague feeling in her heart that things were not simple. She looked at Fay and saw that his eyes were filled with anxiety and helplessness. It was obvious that Principal Gran's indecision made him feel desperate. Rosie took a step forward and looked directly at the principal. "Principal Gran, I want to hear you say."
Principal Gran's gaze flickered between Rosie and Mary, who lay with her eyes closed on the bed. A trace of confusion crossed his face. He finally took a deep breath. Despite Ling Yuan's warning look, he gritted his teeth and said, "Now, Your Excellency, the Saint, you are the only one who can save Mary."
Rosie was stunned, obviously not expecting her to be the one. Her eyes fell on the unconscious Mary, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes: "Me? What do I need to do?"
Principal Gran's expression was solemn as he began to explain, "You need to use the Holy Female's energy to help Mary nurture the fetus, but you are pregnant now, and this energy may have an impact on your body."
Luo Xi was silent for a moment, then looked directly into Principal Gran's eyes. Her voice was calm but firm: "Will it affect the baby in my belly?"
Principal Gran answered without hiding anything: "Very likely."
He paused, then said bitterly, "So I leave the choice to you. No matter what you choose, I understand and respect it."
Rosie lowered her head, her eyes fixed on the ground. People around her thought she was hesitating, but Rosie was rapidly communicating with System 001 in her mind.
"System 001, I need your help. Using the Holy Female's energy to save Mary will cause irreversible harm to me and my baby?"
The slightly cold mechanical voice of System 001 sounded in her mind.
[With this system, your baby will be fine, but you might suffer a little. Um... a lot of suffering.]
Luo Xi frowned, and System 001 in her mind continued.
[The feeling of having your soul hollowed out is not something most people can endure, so I advise you to be cautious...]
"So, it won't endanger the life or the baby, right?"
System 001 was silent for a long time before speaking reluctantly.
【……yes】
When the system asked this question, it knew what the host was thinking. It didn't want its host to suffer such an unexpected disaster, but it was bound by the rules and could not lie to the host.
Luo Xi got the answer she wanted, took a deep breath, slowly raised her head, and looked at Principal Gran with a firm gaze: "I have made up my mind, Principal Gran."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Luo Xi, and Ling Yuan, who was standing next to her, sighed softly.
"I will save Mary."
Principal Gran nodded, a look of gratitude on his face. "Thank you, Ms. Rosie. I will make sure everything is ready."
When Ling Yuan saw this, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes. He pursed his lips and quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind.
Of course, he didn't want the little female to take this risk, but if the little female insisted...
While Ling Yuan was calculating quickly in his mind, Fan Xiao had already stepped forward and stood in front of Luo Xi.
"I don't understand what you're talking about. I just want to ask one thing. Does this hurt you?"
Fan Xiao was always cold and strong outside, but he was always gentle and considerate in front of her. Luo Xi had never seen the wolf orc show such a serious expression in front of her.
Luo Xi felt a warm current flowing slowly in her heart. She said to Fan Xiao soothingly, "Believe me, Fan Xiao, I will be fine."
However, Fan Xiao showed no intention of backing down: "No, I don't agree."
Luo Xi sighed, her gaze lingering on Fan Xiao's face for a moment, and she said gently but firmly, "Believe me, Fan Xiao, I will be fine. Besides...if I don't save her today, I will definitely regret it later."
A flicker of pain flashed across Fan Xiao's eyes, his furrowed brow betraying his inner struggle. He stared silently into Luo Xi's eyes, as if searching for a hint of falsehood in her words, but all he saw was her determination. After a long standoff, Fan Xiao finally lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Okay, I believe you."
He turned to look at Ling Yuan and asked anxiously, "Where are those two stupid deer?"
Ling Yuan responded expressionlessly: "It will take some time to get back from the satellite. We may have to wait a while."
Rosie nodded and turned to the bedside. She took a deep breath and gently took Mary's hand in hers, feeling for her faint pulse. Her face was firm and concerned, and her fingertips were gentle but firm.
She closed her eyes, and the energy within her body began to surge. She could feel the Holy Female power within her slowly gathering and gradually transferring to Mary's body. Her palms felt warm and strong, and the flow of that energy was like a trickle, slowly seeping into Mary's body.
As the energy flowed in, Mary's breathing seemed to become slightly more even. A slight sweat formed on Rosie's forehead, but she didn't stop. She focused on mobilizing every bit of energy in her body, ensuring it entered Mary's body precisely to help stabilize the fetus.
She carefully grasped every fluctuation of energy. Her breathing became shallower and shallower, as if she were conducting a silent communication with Mary's body. Her lips moved slightly, and she whispered to herself.
"Hold on, Mary, you have to hold on..."
