The Savior Says She's Having a Breakdown - Chapter 12
Chapter 12: Life (Part 2)
While Feng Qingyu was alone in the tower, counting her fingers out of boredom, Feng Han returned.
“Come with me.”
The moment the person spoke, even in a lowered voice, Feng Qingyu knew it wasn’t Feng Han, but—
“Yuna? How did you…”
Yuna interrupted her in a whisper, “Long story short, your mother sent us to rescue you. The Commander is currently negotiating with the Nüwa Priestess, drawing their attention, and I can conveniently change my appearance to quietly take you away.”
“Okay.” Compared to the oppressive Nüwa Tribe, Feng Qingyu was willing to trust this alien, with whom she had at least spent half a month. “But how do I get out?”
“Don’t talk, follow me.”
Feng Qingyu nodded and followed Yuna toward the door.
“High Priestess, are you taking her away now?”
Yuna nodded, but when she spoke, it was Feng Han’s voice and tone. “Yes, the other party said they want to use her as a bargaining chip, I’m taking her over there.”
“Understood.” The two young girls at the door did not sense anything amiss. They nodded and watched the two leave.
After leaving the Priestess Tower, Feng Qingyu followed Yuna, quickly moving through deserted corners until they stopped beside a large banyan tree.
Feng Qingyu saw Yuna’s familiar arm-raising gesture and hastily stopped her, saying, “I think we can be more frank with each other!”
Yuna bowed apologetically to her. “I’m afraid I’m not in a position to give you any guarantees. Let’s discuss this when we are completely safe. I apologize.”
As soon as Yuna finished speaking, Feng Qingyu lost consciousness once again.
By now, Feng Qingyu was very familiar with the process of “passing out” and “waking up.” However, this time was different: she woke up in her own bedroom!
No previous awakening was more joyous than this one! Feng Qingyu thought: But I’m so happy that it feels a bit unreal… I’m really getting further and further down the masochistic path.
Feng Qingyu used her fingers to gather her messy hair and walked out of the bedroom. Just as she was rubbing her head, wondering if she was dreaming or awake, and was about to turn toward the bathroom, Mrs. Feng in the living room called out, “Erya, you’re awake?”
“Mom!” Feng Qingyu walked over and sat down beside her.
“Did they take you away? I couldn’t understand what those two aliens were saying, but thankfully, they brought you back safely!”
Seeing Mrs. Feng’s eyes red and swollen, clearly having cried, Feng Qingyu felt deeply apologetic. “Mom, I’m sorry, I was too careless.”
“How can you blame yourself?” Mrs. Feng lovingly stroked the top of her head.
Feng Qingyu nodded. She looked around but didn’t see Mr. Feng, so she asked, “Where’s Dad?”
“He and your brother went to see the Master to see if they can find you a similar talisman.”
Hearing this, Feng Qingyu’s tears began to well up despite herself.
“Don’t cry. If you cry, Mom will start crying too.”
Hearing this, Feng Qingyu smiled through her tears. “Right, Mom, this time I was taken there, and I learned a lot more about the Nüwa Tribe. Listen to me…”
“So, whether you have divine power or not, your lifespan won’t be affected?” Mrs. Feng was overjoyed. “That’s wonderful! Heaven has eyes!”
However, the next second, Mrs. Feng’s mood dropped again. “But your father, your brother, and I are just ordinary people. What should we do if they try to forcefully take you again?”
“Mom, how long have I been back?” Feng Qingyu had a flash of inspiration and asked.
“Almost a day, I think? Maybe twenty hours. Why?”
Feng Qingyu calculated the time in her mind and shook her head. “Nothing. Right, where are Maggie and Yuna?”
“Those two aliens have been staying in the guest room since they brought you back. They haven’t come out.”
“Then I’ll go call them out,” Feng Qingyu muttered as she stood up. “There are still a lot of things I haven’t clarified.”
Maggie, who was called out, was clearly half-asleep, and the low pressure surrounding her was frighteningly intense. “What is it?”
“What did you discuss with the Nüwa Tribe?”
“Nothing much.” Perhaps thinking of something, a fleeting emotion called annoyance flashed across Maggie’s face.
Feng Qingyu became even more certain that something had happened. “Why is the Nüwa Tribe so quiet after realizing I’m gone? By the time calculations, they should have come looking for me again.”
Yuna had no intention of hiding this point and directly said, “We placed an Alpha Star spatial shield device in your house. Even if they reach your door, they can’t get in, and even if they get in, they won’t be able to see you. In other words, as long as you don’t leave this house, they absolutely cannot find you. It’s just that the Commander wants us to prepare to return to Planet Alpha.”
Saying she was going back right after mentioning the shield device, Feng Qingyu roughly guessed her intentions. She raised an eyebrow and asked, “You’re going back, but the shield device stays?”
“No, we have to take the shield device with us too. What I mean is, you don’t have much time left.”
In an instant, Feng Qingyu felt like Yuna was possessed by Hena. She thought, Those far away on the alien planet aren’t idle either; they must be remote-controlling these two again.
“So what exactly do you want?”
“How about we re-discuss the cooperation?”
A host of thoughts flashed through Feng Qingyu’s mind. Finally, she nodded and said, “We can talk, but I hope we can be honest with each other.”
“Of course.”
Five days later, Feng Qingyu smiled and waved goodbye to her parents and brother at the guest room door, embarking once again on a journey to an alien planet.
This time, she was finally awake to see what the spaceship’s entrance looked like.
“It’s not as cool as in the sci-fi movies, is it?” Feng Qingyu tried to hold back her tears, making small talk with a seemingly nonchalant air.
However, when she was alone in the lounge, the tears still fell. “Sigh, even though they both mean ‘away,’ going to an alien planet is definitely different from going to another region!”
