"What's going on? You can't even take care of a cub!"

In her drowsy state, she heard some sounds.

The orc who captured her said nonchalantly, "Isn't it better if he's dead? You were going to destroy them anyway."

"This is a cub, you heartless bastard! Sigh, alright, give her some medicine, don't kill her."

"Give me money."

"You!" The voice on the other end cursed and muttered something, but Xiao Li couldn't hear it anymore. She had fainted again and didn't hear the noisy auction outside at all.

Xiao Liang locked onto the suspect's biometric information, but he didn't have time to gather any manpower. He went to the black market alone, where everything was in chaos and noise.

The black market on a small planet is a murky, gray area. Various orcs can be seen on the outskirts, and the sounds of hawking and arguing fill the air as they conduct black or gray transactions. He strode straight in and went directly to the auction house.

This place is also a den of iniquity. Even if it's something that doesn't circulate in the market, as long as the money is right, there will always be desperate people willing to take the job.

At the auction, Ling Xiao sat upright in the VIP room, flipping through the pages of today's auction items. When he saw the "Mutant Phoenix-headed Long-tailed Sparrow Cub," his eyes turned cold.

Meanwhile, Wen Ai, through her teacher Bai Long's connections, was anxiously awaiting the test results of her potion. Tao Er was also sent by Ling Xiao to deliver the plant to the Federation's Academy of Sciences. The orphanage was once again forced to close. Wen Ze and Miao Yang, behind Brisson, Leng Jin, Yue Feng, Yue Ling, and others, watched the agitated orcs outside the orphanage and felt a burning anger in their hearts.

Backstage at the auction house, the orc handed the unconscious cub to the auction house staff, who frowned: "It's about to die, isn't it? How are we going to sell it?"

In the darkness, the other party's eerie green eyes stared at Xiao Li like a venomous snake: "What does this have to do with me? Give me the money!"

"..." The other party dared not speak out, his nature suppressed him, and he could only swallow his anger and take Xiao Li, intending to feed the little guy some medicine and get through the auction first.

Xiao Liang moved through the auction house's warehouse like a ghost, using the snake's forked tongue to identify scents. He was anxious, yet his actions became increasingly calm and decisive.

He searched the warehouse thoroughly but couldn't find Xiao Li's scent, so he instinctively headed towards the back.

Backstage, the next item to be auctioned was Xiao Li, but she had just been forcibly given a drug and was roughly shaken awake by the people in the auction house.

Xiao Li felt her whole body burning up, as if she were on fire, but now, due to the medicine, she felt waves of coldness in her body.

But she also regained consciousness and found herself surrounded by a noisy, undulating sound, and her feet were locked in bright silver shackles.

"Next up is a mutated long-tailed finch! Look, everyone—" The auctioneer enthusiastically stirred up the sellers' emotions, and the lights shone on the curtain of the item to be auctioned. But what appeared was not an exquisite cage, but a huge curtain of water!

Before anyone could react, thinking it was some kind of trick at the auction, the auctioneer's expression changed. He was about to draw the curtain when it was too late.

A giant column of water shot out, transforming into a snake that rode the water curtain and stirred up waves. Only then did the beastmen react, screaming and scattering in all directions.

When Xiao Liang saw the pitiful state of Ali, he could no longer suppress his violent temper. He rushed over, kicked the man away, picked up the unconscious Xiao Li, and the waves of water surrounded him, sweeping away the cold and dampness from Xiao Li's body and breaking through the auction hall!

"Dad..." Xiao Li murmured, and fainted the moment she saw Xiao Liang. Her condition was very bad.

"Dean, hurry, Xiao Li can't wait any longer." Ling Xiao had just learned that Xiao Liang had found the cub, so he ran from the VIP room to the backstage area, trying to calm Xiao Liang down.

"Take her back. I must avenge this!" Xiao Liang handed the little sparrow, which he had already placed in the cotton nest, to Ling Xiao with incredibly gentle movements. That snake-beastman had not yet received the punishment he deserved.

"it is good."

After Ling Xiao left, the water snake, which had already destroyed most of the auction house, loaded Xiao Liang onto its back and charged menacingly toward the guy who had stolen Xiao Li!

Ling Xiao carried Xiao Li and quickly left the black market, returning to the laboratory.

Xiao Li was given a stimulant, which was originally intended to refresh adult beastmen. Using it on a feverish, unformed cub was undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

Ling Xiao called Wen Ai over, as he wasn't particularly skilled in treating patients.

Wen Ai rushed over and frowned as he looked at Xiao Li, who was breathing weakly on the hospital bed. He quickly checked Xiao Li's condition and then turned to Ling Xiao and said, "The stimulant has aggravated the burden on her body. We must neutralize its effects and lower her fever as soon as possible."

He wiped Xiao Li's body, monitored her physical data, and fed her his treasured Crimson Grass.

This is a rare plant containing gentle fire energy, which can dispel the coldness in the refreshing medicine and nourish the body. However, it can cause over-nourishment if used regularly, so its use is not recommended.

As the effects of the Crimson Glow Grass gradually took hold, Xiao Li's condition began to improve; her claws stopped spasming, and her body relaxed.

Xiao Li's breathing gradually became steady, and her heartbeat grew stronger. Suddenly, a warm and powerful energy erupted from her body, raising the temperature of the entire room. Xiao Li slowly opened her eyes, her pupils shimmering with a fiery red light similar to that of the Crimson Glow Grass.

"She has awakened...a special ability!" Wen Ai exclaimed in surprise.

Snowflakes appeared around Ling Xiao, lowering the room temperature. The cub had just awakened its superpower and was easily out of control. Wen Ai gently touched Xiao Li's body and channeled her superpower into her, making her superpower less violent.

But the red spots on Xiao Li's eyelids were flashing, and a burst of flame suddenly erupted from them. Pure fire energy enveloped her, instantly burning away the effects of the stimulant, and the patches attached to her body also turned to ashes.

“This is the beginning of enlightenment,” Ling Xiao said. He withdrew his supernatural power and stopped suppressing the high temperature in the room, which had become a nurturing environment for Xiao Li.

"Unbelievable, does Crimson Glow Grass really have such effects?" Wen Ai was a little worried. Xiao Li was originally in very bad condition, and then he was given a stimulant and then took Crimson Glow Grass. Now he is like this, and his future is beyond his prediction.

Seeing Xiao Li's transformation, Ling Xiao wished he could pick up a Crimson Cloud Grass to study it. Wen Ai gave him a sharp rebuke: "We must guide her to control this newly acquired power, otherwise it may harm her."

But soon they found that the temperature in the room had dropped, as if the heat had been absorbed by the cocoon and was only radiating heat on the surface.

"Are all fire-type beastmen like this?" The process of awakening superpowers is a very private matter, and only family members know the specifics. Ling Xiao wasn't very clear about it either. He thought about when he awakened his own superpower and said, "When I awakened my ice superpower, I woke up to find myself in the snow."

Is this how nature-based superpowers awaken? And when awakening water-based superpowers, is one still submerged in water? Wen Ai dismissed her inappropriate imaginings and waited quietly for Ali to awaken.
