Chapter 113: Return to Earth Together?

  "Hmm, a bit of force was used... Fortunately, it should be wearable." Indeed, fortunately, at least the torn part of the clothes is horizontal and not vertical, which is equivalent to this top being half short. "I'll use less force next time."

  "I'll do it myself." Fortunately, it wasn't the pants... The rabbit-eared girl felt a slight sense of relief for a moment, but when she saw the underwear in Jiǔ Mìng's hand, her face turned red and she spoke in a barely audible voice.

  "You're also injured, and it's not good to get wet. This kind of small matter is no problem for me at all!" Jiǔ Mìng said with a frown, forget it, as for the underwear... I'd better not touch it first, it's not easy to wash and it feels like I'm being perverted, the most important thing is that it's not easy to clean.

  "Don't wring it! Oh no!" The rabbit-eared girl, who had a blanket wrapped around her body, exclaimed in shock as she saw the nine-tailed one about to wring out the freshly washed clothes. "This... just hang them up to dry, and they'll be fine. Clothes from Tsukiyomi dry quickly."

  "What a hassle."

  The rabbit-eared girl's ears twitched involuntarily at his words, and her tone also fell, "Sorry..."

  "What's the point of apologizing." Jiǔ Mìng put the clothes in his hand on the water bucket next to him, just as the rabbit-eared girl said, after putting the clothes there, the hem of the clothes quickly dripped with water droplets, and the water attached to the clothes seemed to be less sticky, because gravity was pulling it down, probably within a few minutes it would be dry.

  "......Thank you, I didn't know that there were good people among the Earth's monsters too." The rabbit-eared girl took a deep breath and couldn't help but press her chest.

  "What's wrong?"

  "The chest is being choked a bit tightly, breathing is a bit difficult."

  "Uh......" Saving people and all that is really a bit too much for me, "Want me to re-tie it for you?"

  "Ah!?" The rabbit-eared girl's face quickly turned red, and she nodded lightly, "Thank you."

  "Uh?" It's easy to say, but when the real action started, Jiǔ Mìng was in trouble. This was completely different from her previous nature of fainting and being taken advantage of. Moreover, as his hand reached out, a pair of red rabbit eyes looked at him with a shy expression, feeling extremely embarrassed, what to do?

  Cough! I've become so pretentious too, can't help but mock myself. "I'll come from behind then."

  Feeling her spine being slid over by a few icy fingers, the rabbit-eared girl's whole body involuntarily tensed up for a moment. Jiǔ Mìng's hands moved quickly, and by the time she came back to herself, it was almost all taken care of again, feeling a bit disappointed?

  "We have to leave here immediately, it's been so long without any news, someone will definitely come to investigate." After the tight binding sensation on her chest disappeared, the rabbit-eared girl let out a long sigh and spoke more smoothly. She looked around, but didn't know how Jiǔ Mìng could stay nearby with such a rough nerve, nor did she know if this was the territory of Yuèzhī Duō.

  It's really a big heart...... It should be said that he has no conscience at all.

  "Shouldn't you rest a bit more?" Jiǔ Mìng glanced at the bloodstains seeping from some of the bandages wrapped around her body.

  "It's okay, I have a bit more recovery power now, so I should be able to move normally." The rabbit-eared girl smiled lightly.

  "Really!?"

  "Ah!?" The rabbit-eared girl's ears twitched slightly, and she quickly changed her words. "Uh, yes, definitely, you misheard."

  "Ugh, don't tease me, I'm not senile yet." Jiǔ Mìng rubbed his hair, "Put your clothes on first."

  "It's really too much gratitude." The rabbit-eared girl with nine lives being held in a horizontal hug said in a low voice, "You're very gentle."

  It's not necessarily the case. Jiǔ Mìng raised an eyebrow, this kind of personality thing, although it's hard to change once it's set, but it's not necessarily that it can't be changed at all, and there are many variable types that vary from person to person, isn't a typical example easy to find?

  Beauty and the Beast!

  Think about how arrogant and violent I was back then. But after falling in love with a girl... well, it's not like my personality can't change, right?

  Is it now the moon rabbit and ghost? I also don't know if there is Chang'e.

  "Your body seems to be quite special?" Jiǔ Mìng walked at a pace that wasn't particularly fast, and it would still take some time to return to the temporary base. The rabbit-eared girl looked at Jiǔ Mìng's seemingly illusory body and finally couldn't help but ask.

  "It's only natural that the consumption of power has become like this." Jiǔ Mìng also didn't mind discussing this topic, and those with discerning eyes could easily guess. Is this also a kind of self-protection measure? After all, judging from his body's transparency level.

  During his heyday, he could only maintain eighty percent opacity. Basically, every time he consumed a fraction of strength, he would become transparent by that same fraction. Perhaps when he himself was weakened to a certain point, he would truly become completely transparent and disappear.

  Returning back to this already completely destroyed temporary base, the rabbit-eared girl's expression became sorrowful once again. But where were the corpses that should have been left behind?

  She looked at Jiǔ Mìng with doubt, and Jiǔ Mìng pointed to a nearby spot, "Digging a hole isn't that hard, I just did it casually."

  "Burial on earth?" The rabbit-eared girl looked at the mounds of soil on the ground, asking somewhat puzzled. Burial... Not to mention burial, even funerals are rare events in Lunar City, happening only once every few years!

  There is no 'filth' on this planet, and the inhabitants basically won't live to old age. If an accident occurs, as long as there is a breath left, with the technology of this month, it can be rescued back.

  "Alright."

  "Can you put me down? I can walk now." The rabbit-eared girl fell silent for a moment before speaking in a low, mournful tone, "I want to find something."

  "There shouldn't be anything to find here... oh? Is that right?" said Jiu Ming, looking at a small warehouse in this temporary base that seemed a bit damaged compared to other destroyed places, but was relatively well-preserved because it was used for storing things and was therefore particularly sturdy.

  "Our squad just came to this temporary base for supplies, but unexpectedly we were attacked by monsters during our rest." The rabbit-eared girl said sadly, pushing the huge warehouse door with all her might. After a while of effort, she found that even if the lock was broken, this heavy door was not something she could open, and because of using too much force, the wounds on her body started to hurt again.

  "Alright, I'll help you." Seeing the rabbit-eared girl's pleading gaze, Jiuming shook his head and walked up to the massive door that was over ten meters tall. He placed his hand on it and pushed with all his might, but to no avail!? The door was incredibly heavy! Taking a deep breath, Jiuming exerted himself once more, and a loud screeching sound echoed through the air as sparks flew out from the edges of the door frame. Even though the lock had broken, the locking mechanism remained operational.

  The rabbit-eared girl couldn't help but knock on her own head, "I'm so stupid... I should have thought of the backup door lock earlier..."

  "Hmm... even if I had it now, it wouldn't be of any use." Jiǔ Mìng let out a long sigh, withdrew his hand and smiled lightly, "The door is already open...... Ah!?"

  The door opened, but the entire warehouse was filled with a piercing alarm sound. Nine Lives was stunned for at least a moment before returning to normal, and even the alarm didn't seem to faze him, as it was all the same to him anyway. However, the rabbit-eared girl panicked, "It's over, it's over! The situation here has already been reported back to the Moon Capital, we have to leave quickly!"

  She anxiously looked around, ignoring the various supplies in the warehouse, which were of no use to her. As for Jiǔ Mìng, he tried to pick up a weapon belonging to Yuèzhī Dū, but found that he couldn't use it either, and still needed identity verification!

  It's just a weapon, no need to make it so high-end.

  "Great, there's a lifeboat."

  "Lifeboat?"

  "It's specially used for seriously injured personnel, with a life support system inside, which can quickly send the wounded to the Lunar Capital."

  "Huh? Can you drive?" Jiǔ Mìng rubbed his chin and said, looking at the lifeboat in front of him that looked like a small spaceship.

  "Of course, I'm a soldier..." She fell silent for a moment, "But not anymore... Anyway, this thing doesn't need to be driven, it has autopilot, the destination is Moon Capital."

  "Really." Jiǔ Mìng smiled sincerely, "In that case, let's hurry back then."

  "Wait a minute!" The rabbit-eared girl, who was about to let her pass and prepare to launch the lifeboat, hastened to speak, "Please don't misunderstand, I've already lost interest in continuing to participate in the battle. Can you... come with me and leave for Earth?"

  "Ah ha!? Earth?" Jiǔ Mìng stared at her in a daze, pointing to the lifeboat behind her, "You can fly all the way to Earth with this thing?"

  "Of course," she said after a pause, "as long as there's enough fuel, I'll go take a look."

  She quickly ran to the lifeboat's cabin door, input some commands and went in. After a while, she came out with a happy face, "No problem at all."

  "Congratulations then."

  The smile on the rabbit-eared girl's face froze, "You... aren't planning to come with me? It's obvious you don't want to participate in this war either."

  "That's right, but I still have someone else's entrustment that hasn't been completed. Anyway, going to Earth is also a good choice. The environment on Earth is still very good, not like it will be in the future... Cough, don't hesitate, hurry up and go."

  The alarm sound next to my ear was annoying, but I could bear it. The only problem was that the noise would inevitably attract nearby monsters.

  "...I don't want to leave anymore."

  "What the...?! Let's go, hurry up!" Seeing the rabbit-eared girl's shrinking expression with a hint of stubbornness, Jiǔ Mìng pressed his forehead, "I'll emphasize it one last time, except for cleaning your wounds and checking you out thoroughly, nothing else happened, and that was an emergency situation."

  "This... is also a responsibility, right?" The rabbit-eared girl's face turned red as she muttered in a low voice.

  "...This is for you. You'll figure out the method yourself later, and use it to find me." Jiǔ Mìng handed her an invitation card with a tangled expression.
