The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

"No, it's nothing. Let's do that experiment."

Ruan Mei smiled faintly, subtly withdrawing her hand. Young people often have an unusually intense desire for their own kind who are beautiful.

Moreover, Bai Zhi is a genuine Vidyadhara, an immortal and pure descendant of the dragon.

A powerful body brings with it equally powerful desires. Without something to temper them, it's like an ammunition depot filled with weapons; it could explode at any moment, which is extremely dangerous.

If you're not careful, you could really get pushed.

"Sure, I'd love to do experiments with you, Ruan Mei!"

"Well, let's go then."

Ruan Mei nodded slightly and was about to take a step when she suddenly felt her hand being pulled.

Looking down, she saw that it was Bai Zhi who was holding her hand.

"I can't find the lab, so let's hold hands to avoid getting lost later."

"Of course, if you mind, I can let go, but I'm sure the lovely Ms. Ruan Mei wouldn't refuse a request from someone as lovely as me~"

Bai Zhi tilted her head, a beautiful smile appearing on her delicate face.

Ruan Mei: ...

With a slight sigh, Ruan Mei nodded with a hint of helplessness.

It seems a little hard to refuse.

Reason told her that Bai Zhi's mark would gradually disappear over time, and it was best to avoid physical contact during this period, otherwise the mark's effects would be maximized.

Using emotional suppressants directly would be a better option.

However, a strange sense of emotion made it impossible for her to refuse Bai Zhi's request.

Whenever Bai Zhi spoke to her in a gentle, slightly pleading tone, she felt her heart pounding, affecting her judgment.

"I'm so good-looking, no one can resist me, right?"

"You……"

Ruan Mei pursed her lips, as if this child had discovered her own advantage?

This state of being in adolescence, based on one's own strength, will unconsciously attract admirers with one's aura.

Apart from androids, normal living beings follow one principle: the more powerful an entity is, the more attractive it is.

In nature, wild animals analyze the health of their kind by observing their urine, other secretions, and appearance.

An overly healthy organism will naturally emit more information than its kind, thus attracting more mates to be with it.

Ruan Mei analyzed that Angelica dahurica would probably also experience this situation.

A powerful dragon lord in his adolescence, with boundless energy and an unconsciously emanating aura, might attract many members of the opposite sex... or even the same sex.

In layman's terms, it means the Queen of Ten Thousand Women.

Chapter 490 Bai Zhi: I'll call you A Ruan from now on.

"This is the secret laboratory."

Ruan Mei, holding Bai Zhi's hand, went through one elevator after another and swiped her card to open a huge laboratory.

"I conducted this experiment without the knowledge of Black Tower and their associates..."

"But the Black Tower definitely knows about this. All the highest authority is with the Black Tower, and with a computer expert like Screws, how could they possibly keep this a secret?"

Bai Zhi bluntly pointed out the problem.

Ruan Mei was stunned for a moment. "You're right. I didn't think it through. I thought I had kept it from others, but it seems they probably already knew."

Before Bai Zhi pointed it out, she really thought her plan was foolproof.

She figured these were abandoned floors, so no one would care, and she even modified the relevant systems to avoid being exposed.

But after Bai Zhi spoke, she realized the problem.

How could my own computer technology possibly compare to the Black Tower, which pioneered the simulated universe, let alone Screwgoom, the emperor of Screwgoom?

They must have already discovered their own little tricks.

"It's okay. I really like this kind of simplicity, dear Ruan. You must be thinking that you shouldn't bother others with things you can handle yourself, right?"

“Ah Ruan…”

Ruan Mei fell silent; such an intimate form of address was something from a very long time ago for her.

In the past, only her parents usually called her that.

"Don't you like this name? Then I'll call you Mei?"

A sly glint flashed in Bai Zhi's ruby-like eyes. "I think we have a pretty good relationship, so it's alright for me to call you that without permission, is it?"

"However, if you feel offended, I can call you Ms. Ruan Mei~"

Ruan Mei sighed softly, "No need, it's just a name. Ruan Mei is no different from cats and dogs; it just refers to one person."

"Then I'll call you A-Ruan from now on~" Bai Zhi said happily.

As the saying goes, changing how you address someone is the beginning of building a closer relationship.

Ruan Mei remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

After calming her heart rate, which had risen slightly, Ruan Mei busied herself with various operating tables.

While busy working, he introduced the task without turning his head:

"In this project, what I mainly want to study is everything about breeding."

“Ah Ruan’s idea is very good. As a biologist, studying topics related to reproduction is a very good choice. If I were Ah Ruan, I would definitely do the same.”

"Um... thank you for understanding. My project utilizes a newly developed technology that can revive the Star Shattering King Insect Skarakabaz."

Ruan Mei pressed a button, and the lights in the abandoned compartment below immediately turned on.

In the very center, a huge tank is placed inside, with giant blue worms floating in the nutrient solution.

"This is the Star Shattering King Insect Skarakabaz, but I cannot replicate the complete Breeding Commander. This thing's combat power is only a fraction of that of the true Commander."

"In my estimation, this flawed creation will only exist for 56 seconds."

"This is also the biggest problem in my experiments. My technology cannot allow the restored beings to survive for a long time, but with your power, perhaps it can be changed."

Ruan Mei looked at the giant Star Shattering King Insect, a glint of fervor flashing in her eyes. If she could use a King Insect that lived longer, she might be able to analyze more of the laws of reproduction.

They could even use this extracted knowledge to recreate some long-extinct creatures, and even to...

But immediately, a hint of worry flashed in her eyes, and she turned around to look at Bai Zhi.

"Although the Star Shattering King Worm that I resurrected is an incomplete messenger, it is still very powerful. If it is combined with your power, it may survive for a very long time."

“I don’t know the upper limit of your strength, but if you feel there is a risk, you can give up this experiment.”

"I can also give you that technology."

"You look down on me that much?" Bai Zhi said with a smile.

“It’s not that I look down on you, it’s just… I don’t want you to get hurt. After all, you are the Dragon Lord of Luofu. If you are seriously injured, I won’t be able to explain it to the Luofu Immortal Ship.”

"Ah Ruan cares about me so much? I feel so honored~" Bai Zhi smiled, her eyes carrying a strange meaning.

This made Ruan Mei's heart skip a beat, and she quickly tried to salvage the situation:

"That's because I still have a lot of joint research with Xianzhou. If you get injured, it would affect more of my research projects, which wouldn't be good."

"That's right, there's no other reason!"

As if to bolster her confidence, Ruan Mei repeated her answer at the end.

How could there be any other reason? I am a meticulous scientist, and everything I do is to ensure the experiment proceeds correctly.

My lifelong wish has always been to unravel those mysterious and unpredictable laws.

Bai Zhi was just a passerby in my life, and I was only afraid of affecting the resources exchanged on the Immortal Boat.

"Mmm, I understand," Bai Zhi replied somewhat perfunctorily.

"I understand your concerns, A-Ruan, but a hero can't desert his post!"

"Don't worry, this mere incomplete token can't harm me even if it's enhanced by my abilities. Open the passage to the lower level, I'll go and conduct an experiment for you."

Ruan Mei took a deep breath and then pressed a red button.

Immediately, an elevator appeared behind the control cabin, leading directly to the location of the Star Shattering King Worm.

Bai Zhi casually stepped onto the elevator.

"Ah Ruan, wait for my performance, I'll give you a big one~"

As Bai Zhi spoke, tiny golden lightning bolts began to appear on her body.

"As long as you don't get hurt, that's fine."

Ruan Mei said something somewhat uneasy, completely unaware of the abnormal condition that was beginning to appear on Bai Zhi's body.

The elevator doors closed, and then the passengers quickly moved within the cabin.

Ruan Mei also calmed down a bit.

"Should I really get an injection to suppress my emotions...?"

Ruan Mei patted her slightly flushed face, constantly questioning herself in her heart.

After Bai Zhi left, the attraction weakened slightly, and Ruan Mei's heart immediately began to waver.

But for some reason, Bai Zhi's voice calling her "A Ruan" suddenly flashed into her mind again.

"...Well, since things have come to this, let's collect the data first."

Ruan Mei paused for a moment, then sat down in front of the various control panels and stared intently at them.

Chapter 491 Topa: What, Angelica is the messenger?

Bai Zhi slowly walked into the experimental layer in front of her, where she saw huge insects immersed in it.

Although this insect is currently in a dormant state, the power it exudes is far more terrifying than that of an envoy like Jing Yuan.

Of course, in terms of strength, this insect is definitely no match for a complete hunting envoy like Jingyuan.

However, insects are complete fighting machines, while humans are not, which is why this Star Shattering King Insect looks much more terrifying than Jing Yuan.

"Bai Zhi, are you ready? I'm about to release it."

Ruan Mei's voice came from all around.

"No problem, release it. Remember to prepare data collection, otherwise it won't be so easy to study this guy after I kill him."

Bai Zhi reached out and a massive encyclopedia of spells appeared in her hand, with golden lightning gradually emerging from her body.

We should still be a little careful when dealing with such a flawed messenger.

"I placed relevant sensors inside this Star Shattering King Insect. The longer it stays inside, the more comprehensive the data I can collect."

"Don't worry, this guy can live for at least ten minutes, I think that should be enough."

"That's enough. I'm initiating the release process. Be careful."

After entering a series of complex passwords, Ruan Mei pressed the red button next to her, and at the same time, all the sensors were turned on at maximum power and pointed at the room where the Star-Shattering King Worm was located.

However, the information transmitted by these sensors initially surprised Ruan Mei slightly.

This is because it shows that the energy gathered in Angelica dahurica is increasing exponentially.

If initially, the energy readings of Angelica dahurica on the sensors were at the level of an ordinary Destiny Walker, then now it is approaching the level of a Commander at an incredible speed.

"Has she truly received the blessing of the star god? Or is she on a hunting expedition?"

Ruan Mei slightly widened her eyes.

At the same time, the huge transparent jar in front of Bai Zhi shattered.

The giant blue Star-Shattering King Insect broke free and then let out a threatening hiss at Bai Zhi in the next second.

Bai Zhi didn't hesitate and immediately cast a dog-shaped spell on the Shattered Star King Insect.
