CHAPTER 125: CHAPTER 44 IRON-EATING BEAST’S FEEDBACK_2
She thought for a moment and intentionally consoled Ke Lian and Mo Feng: "As the saying goes, if you use someone, don’t doubt them; if you doubt someone, don’t use them. It’s normal for you as commanders to trust your soldiers, so you shouldn’t feel guilty about it."
Du Xixi’s words were naturally reasonable. After listening to her, Ke Lian and Mo Feng did feel a bit more at ease, but still found it difficult to accept the reality of being betrayed.
Seeing the lingering gloom on Ke Lian and Mo Feng’s faces, Du Xixi sighed silently in her heart. She knew that Ke Lian and Mo Feng needed to work through this on their own, so she chose not to comfort them further, instead subtly changing the topic to lighten the mood.
Yet soon after, Ke Lian began to feel fatigued, clearly about to fall back into a coma. He didn’t care about the few bystanders, clasping Du Xixi’s hand tightly, and softly said, "Xixi, don’t wear yourself out, take a good rest..."
Du Xixi originally had a pure and gentle face, with flawless skin save for tiny pores that could only be seen up close. It was obviously a well-maintained face.
She remembered that when Ke Lian first left, Du Xixi was a charming beauty with a slightly rosy complexion, but now there were shadows beneath her eyes, and her gaze was tired, clearly having labored much while Ke Lian was in a coma.
Feeling sorry for Du Xixi, Ke Lian used the last bit of consciousness to touch her cheek, "Our Xixi is so beautiful, dark circles don’t suit you."
Du Xixi was initially moved by Ke Lian’s concern for her, but at the last sentence, she couldn’t help but smile and glared playfully at the already unconscious Ke Lian.
"What do you mean ’dark circles don’t suit you’?! It’s like he was telling a cold joke."
But as she laughed, Du Xixi couldn’t hold back her tears. Ke Lian had only just woken up, yet he was still worried about her. She wished she could drag the traitor before the Insect Clan and let him taste serious injury!
From start to finish, Mo Feng, the biggest lamp, barely spoke, deliberately leaving this brief moment for Ke Lian and Du Xixi.
Seeing Du Xixi silently wiping tears, Mo Feng awkwardly comforted, "Sister-in-law, don’t be sad, our Ah Lan, he’s the toughest in the entire Military Department, he’ll get better soon."
The toughest person was now beaten into a coma—how seriously was he hurt! Du Xixi appreciated Mo Feng’s goodwill, and despite her bitterness, she restrained her tears and gave him a gentle smile: "Yes, Ke Lian has never let us worry."

"Twenty-three."
Miao Miao could now easily switch between her human and cat forms, and with 2569’s help, she learned to speak some simple human words. As long as she kept her large hood on, hiding her cat ears and tail, there was little difference between her and an ordinary human girl.
At this moment, she sat by the window, softly saying "twenty-three," referring to the twenty-third morning since Ke Lian had woken up.
Du Xixi used her spiritual talent daily to help heal Ke Lian, and combined with the skilled doctors of the military hospital, Ke Lian’s condition improved with each passing day, staying awake longer each time.
Mo Feng, receiving part of the energy from the exploding talent light group each time, had long been able to get out of bed and walk slowly, frequently going to the rehabilitation room for therapy these days. The day of his discharge seemed near.
Du Xixi routinely sat by the hospital bed, occasionally glancing at Miao Miao, and at the waking Ke Lian, while 2569 would occasionally hand Du Xixi a glass of water or massage Ke Lian’s legs, never idling.
"How are you on CD-0329 Star?" Ke Lian knew that after he left, Du Xixi went to CD-0329 Star, a Primitive Planet once belonging to Blue Star.
Even though the Rob accompanied Du Xixi, and the two of them emptied out the house before leaving, Ke Lian was still worried that Du Xixi wouldn’t be well on CD-0329 Star.
It was a strange planet, with an unfamiliar environment and people. Du Xixi was only accompanied by the Rob and 2569, it wouldn’t have been easy.
But Du Xixi clearly didn’t feel that way. She smiled softly and said, "It was fine. Those people were under my brother’s orders, listening to everything I said, they didn’t dare to disturb me. Plus, I just stayed at home, streaming live, enjoying food and fun, how could there be anything bad?"
