"Thank you, thank you, you are a good person."

Well, another "friend zone" card.

Chapter 838, The more handsome a man is, the more likely he is to lie.

"Why are you back again?"

Looking at Asuna who had returned with a mocking expression, Yi Shuihan gave her an awkward smile in response.

"Things, um... could you please take a look at these things for me?"

Asuna and her companions were not wealthy, otherwise they wouldn't have been reduced to selling weapons here. Naturally, they wouldn't easily give up these weapons. Asuna herself wanted to save Kirito as soon as possible and didn't want to waste time cleaning up, so she asked Yi Shuihan, whom she had only met a few minutes ago, for help.

The crystals that Yi Shuihan took out were completely equivalent to the value of these weapons, and she was not worried that Yi Shuihan would have any designs on these weapons, so she was very at ease.

"I'll go with you to see Kiriko. As for these..." With a wave of his hand, all the weapons on the stall disappeared. "I'll put them away for you first."

"No...it's gone!" Asuna was stunned, then her eyes widened. "Is this the character's inventory? No, this isn't a game."

"It's not a game backpack, it's a spatial magic tool. If you want one, I'll give you one later. Now that we're in this other world, let's forget about so-called common sense!"

"I can't accept it, but..."

Asuna hesitated. She knew she shouldn't accept it. She had never seen anything like it in all the time she had been in this world, and just thinking about it made her realize how precious it was.

Asuna was reluctant to give up the space mold, but having it would make many things much more convenient in the future, so she was very conflicted.

"Don't worry about it, this thing isn't valuable to me, otherwise I wouldn't have given it away so easily."

Having discerned Asuna's thoughts, Yi Shuihan said.

"That……"

Asuna's mind began to lean towards accepting the spatial magic tool, but she still wasn't shameless enough to agree immediately.

"Hey, here, take it, just keep it."

He made the decision for Asuna in a direct and domineering manner.

Asuna stared blankly at Yi Shuihan, a feeling she couldn't quite describe welled up inside her, a feeling that wasn't unpleasant.

Only after Yi Shuihan and Asuna left did the surroundings begin to liven up.

"Hey, did you see that? That guy just waved his hand and everything disappeared."

"Space rings, space magic, or even space supernatural powers—these amazing things have all appeared. It's truly an eye-opener."

"It's not a big deal! We're in the Holy City right now, and the Holy Domain is not far away, where the Goddess resides."

"What you said is absolutely right, but I still have something to say, damn it!"

"..."

Asuna and the others didn't live in a nice place; it was just an ordinary house. But at least they were considered to be of the common people, which was much better than those who could only live a life of idleness and waiting to die.

"This is the place. Please have a seat, and I'll get you some water."

"No need, let's check on Kiriko first!"

The room had a strong, slightly pungent smell of medicine. A girl with long black hair lay with her eyes closed, her brows furrowed, as if she were in pain. Her body trembled involuntarily, and it was clear that she was in great discomfort.

"Don't worry, Kiriko, I'll go and get the priest right away. You'll get better."

The priest that Asuna mentioned is a profession. After the great changes on Earth, people awakened different powers. Some of these powers are very suitable for healing. Following the terminology used in online games, people call these healers priests. Other professions include warriors and guards.

"If you don't mind, I can give it a try."

"Are you a pastor?"

"No, but..."

"Then let's not. You stay here, I'll be back soon."

Before Yi Shuihan could finish speaking, Asuna had already run out, leaving only Yi Shuihan and Kirito in the room.

"I said, you're just a lone man and a lone woman, how can you be so careless?"

After glancing at the still unconscious Tongzi, Yi Shuihan temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​treating her and decided to observe her first.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, footsteps sounded, and a young woman named Yufeng wearing a white coat came into view, with Asuna following behind her. Judging from their familiar manner, they seemed to meet often.

"Nana, what's this man doing here? You didn't actually go... sell yourself, did you?"

"What are you thinking? I didn't do anything strange, I just sold weapons." Asuna looked exasperated.

"Then what's wrong with him? If you don't explain it to me clearly today, I won't treat Kirito. Humph, anyway, once Kirito is dead, you'll belong to me alone."

The conversation between the two instantly reminded Yi Shuihan of the word "lace." He looked at Asuna and the new girl in surprise, feeling a mix of emotions. First, there was the feminization, now there's a love triangle, and now there's lace. What on earth is going on?

Asuna blushed when Yi Shuihan looked at her with surprise. She pulled the new girl aside and explained in a low voice.

Yi Shuihan's hearing was very sensitive; even without being able to listen, Asuna's words still rang in his ears as if they were right next to him.

Fortunately, no further strange words were heard, and Asuna objectively recounted the events.

"Another rival in love. He must have his eye on my Nana to be so attentive. Nana, don't be fooled by him. He looks very handsome, so he must be a good liar. My mother once told me that the more handsome a man is, the more likely he is to lie. My mother was fooled by my father, and that's how I came to be."

"Who is your Nana? And whether he is lying to me or not, I can judge for myself."

The prettier a woman is, the more likely she is to lie. This is a famous saying by Zhang's mother. I never expected there to be a twisted version here.

"This is Mu Yan, a pastor, and also a good friend of mine."

Asuna pointed to the new girl, Yufeng, and introduced her.

"kindness."

Mu Yan glanced at Yi Shuihan, gave a soft snort to acknowledge her presence, and her eyes clearly held a warning.

"Hello."

Yi Shuihan greeted her with a smile. Beautiful women have special privileges. Yi Shuihan didn't care about Mu Yan's attitude. He was just a little curious. Since Mu Yan and Asuna had such a good relationship, why would she need crystals to heal?

What happened next made Yi Shuihan understand why.

It turns out that Muyan's ability requires crystals to be activated, and without crystals, her ability would have little effect on Kirito's injuries.

Chapter 839, Healing

Mu Yan held a crystal in one hand and placed the other hand on Tongzi's body, and blue light shone in the room.

Kiriko's aura began to slowly intensify under the blue light, her brows relaxed, and her breathing became calm.

The blue light never went out, and it would replace the crystal when the energy of the crystal in hand was almost exhausted.

"I see, that makes sense now."

Noticing a certain detail, Yi Shuihan understood the question that had puzzled him before: since Mu Yan had such healing abilities, it must be easy for her to earn crystals, so it was impossible that she didn't have 10 crystals to treat Tongzi.

Asuna replaced the crystal. The crystal was quickly absorbed by Mu Yan as soon as it entered her hand. This absorption was not her intention, but passive. In other words, Mu Yan could not control this. That is why she did not have enough crystals, because all her crystals were absorbed.

Absorbing crystals can strengthen oneself, and becoming stronger makes it easier to earn crystals. Since Mu Yan has this ability, she naturally won't keep any crystals.

As Yi Shuihan had expected, Mu Yan's crystals were indeed absorbed by her. Any crystal that came into contact with her body, even through a layer of clothing, would be absorbed by her body, which made it very difficult for her to store crystals.

For Mu Yan, absorbing crystals is like eating and drinking; she feels uncomfortable all over if she doesn't absorb some crystals every day, making it even more difficult for her to store them.

Normally, Mu Yan would keep some of her crystals with Asuna and take them when needed. Without Asuna, she would find it difficult to resist the urge to absorb crystals.

The crystals placed here by Asuna are far from enough to heal Kirito's injuries, which is why we are in this situation now.

Tick ​​tock!Tick ​​tock!

Drops of sweat dripped from Mu Yan's face onto the ground; prolonged use of the device was a tremendous test for her.

As time passed, Mu Yan's body was covered in sweat, resulting in her being completely soaked. She was already dressed very lightly, wearing a white shirt on top and hot pants on the bottom, which now almost completely exposed her figure to Yi Shuihan.

Neither Mu Yan nor Asuna realized the current situation; their attention was entirely on Kirito, and they hadn't even considered the presence of Yi Shuihan, a male, in the scene.

Kiriko's injuries were too severe, which was also a great test for Muyan. It was the first time she had used her ability for such a long time, and it could be said that she was already working beyond her capacity.

Previously, the most blue crystals Kiriko had ever used was 3, but this time it jumped to 10, far exceeding her limit. She was almost unable to hold on any longer and would have collapsed if she hadn't been holding on so tightly.

If it were just a common injury, Mu Yan could rest for a while before continuing. Unfortunately, Tong Zi's injury was different. If she couldn't heal him in one go, even the slightest pause would render all her efforts futile.

"...Huff...Huff"

When the energy of the 10th blue crystal was exhausted, the treatment ended. Mu Yan staggered and almost fell to the ground, but Asuna, who was standing nearby, quickly helped her up.

"Did you make it?"

"Yes, it worked!"

"That's good, I don't have the strength to do it again."

After Mu Yan finished speaking, she closed her eyes and fell asleep; she was simply too tired.

Asuna helped Muyan to the side to rest, and at this time Kirito finally woke up.

"Um... I'm... Oh right, I remember..." Kiriko's expression changed, and she shouted, "Run, Asuna!"

After shouting, Tongzi realized where she was and then saw Yi Shuihan.

"Who are you? What are you doing in my room?"

With a quick roll, Kiriko assumed a fighting stance, her hand instinctively reaching for her waist. Not finding anything familiar, her expression grew even more wary.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not a bad person. In fact, I'm your savior. Let Asuna explain it to you!"

Make a shrug gesture to show that you have no ill intentions.

"Asuna!"

Upon hearing Yi Shuihan mention this name, Tongzi's expression softened somewhat, but she didn't immediately lower her guard.

"Kiriko, you're awake. How are you feeling? Is there anything wrong with your body?"

Asuna returned quickly, and a smile bloomed on her face when she saw Kirito, who had regained consciousness.

"Asuna! Thank goodness, you're alive too. I thought..."

"Fool, you're really stupid. If you had been any unlucky back then, you would have really died."

Kirito and Asuna hugged each other and talked, looking very affectionate. However, it would be more normal if Kirito were Kirito.

Half an hour later, Yi Shuihan, who was in the background, finally received attention. Tongzi expressed her gratitude for Yi Shuihan's generosity and apologized for her previous behavior.

Yi Shuihan generously forgave Kirito, winning her favor. After giving Asuna and Kirito each a spatial magic tool, Kirito and Asuna completely regarded Yi Shuihan as their best friend.

Yi Shuihan's original intention was to recruit Asuna as a fighter. After he made his request, Asuna readily agreed. Her only request was that Kirito come along with her.

Since Kirito isn't Kirito, Yi Shuihan gave her a substitute spot, and if nothing unexpected happens, she'll probably remain a substitute forever.

At this moment, Mu Yan woke up and, after learning the situation, shamelessly decided to follow Asuna. In her words, Asuna would be hers sooner or later, and she would go wherever Asuna went.

"I'm warning you, I consider you a friend, but don't even think about sleeping with me."

Because she happened to notice the majestic look in Yi Shuihan's eyes, Mu Yan warned Yi Shuihan.

Yi Shuihan came here on business, so he didn't take Asuna away immediately. Instead, he instructed that if he didn't come back within a month, Asuna and the others would have two options: either go to Mount Lu on their own, or continue waiting for someone to come and pick them up.

Do you know any people from other worlds, or do you know where to find them?

Chapter 840, The Violent Maniac Who Dislikes Violence

In a dark and damp alley, several newborn kittens huddled around a small basin, drinking animal milk from it.

The Earth has undergone tremendous changes, but not all organisms will evolve. Some individual organisms have not changed much. Obviously, without evolution, they have no future. This world cannot tolerate them. For example, these kittens are pitiful.

A red-haired man leaned against the wall, quietly watching the kittens drinking milk, a gentle look in his eyes.

"Every time you see the moon, you think of me."

"Cry, scream, and then die! That's the end!"

These two lines will remind those who are familiar with the character of a certain person, a seemingly crazy but actually very gentlemanly man who accompanied them through their childhood.

That's right, it's Iori Yagami. Yi Shuihan considers himself the absolute protagonist of King of Fighters, and he's standing right in front of Yi Shuihan now.

"leave here!"

Iori Yagami looked at Yi Shuihan coldly, not wanting to know Yi Shuihan's purpose or to communicate.

In another location, Iori Yagami might have taken direct action, but he didn't want to use violence in front of the kitten. In fact, he is a man who hates violence, even though others always call him a violent maniac.

"That's really unique!"

Yi Shuihan didn't feel uncomfortable with Iori Yagami's indifference. On the contrary, he felt that this was the real Iori Yagami. He would only be disappointed if Iori Yagami spoke to him kindly.
