Chapter 138: Chapter 138

The doctor led Loren to a spacious spot in the cargo hold and sat down, then turned to Loren and said casually:

"One day from now, we'll arrive at the Radiant Flow Star Domain. Mr. Loren, you can take this opportunity to rest for a while, relax your tense nerves."

"By the way, when we disembark from the starship, someone will come to collect a fee. I'm free, of course, but you can bargain with them."

"For a strong person like you who's unfortunately on the run, they often hold a certain amount of goodwill. Or, if you have nowhere to go, you could also join us..."

Loren also walked over and sat down beside the doctor, directly voicing his refusal to the doctor's suggestion.

"No need, I'm used to being alone."

Next, Loren expressionlessly closed his eyes. A wave of pain came from various parts of his body.

Feeling the injuries on his body, Loren sighed inwardly.

Still have to wait until we reach the Radiant Flow Star Domain to find someone for treatment...

"If you feel uncomfortable, you can sleep for a while. I'll keep watch."

Words of concern from Raven came into Loren's mind.

"Thanks for your hard work, Raven." After saying that, Loren relaxed his mind, preparing to fall asleep.

Ten seconds later, Loren fell into a light sleep.

The high-intensity battle last night, plus the injuries left from fighting those mechas, had left him extremely exhausted. Being able to hold on until now was entirely due to his willpower holding out.

Unfortunately, Loren didn't rest for long before being interrupted by Raven.

Just ten minutes after he fell asleep, Raven woke Loren in his mind.

"Master!! Wake up!! That little girl in the cargo hold is walking towards you!!"

Hearing Raven's reminder, Loren instantly opened his eyes and turned his head to look at the little girl who was bouncing and skipping as she walked towards him.

He stared coldly at the little girl who was alone, ready to activate his sixth ability at any moment.

"Something the matter, little one?"

A little girl, alone, in a cargo hold used for smuggling. This scene made Loren raise his guard to the maximum.

Seeing Loren wake up, the little girl wearing the "Ship Mechanic" uniform halted her steps. She looked in Loren's direction and spoke softly:

"Big brother... I'm not a bad person. I just sensed you have serious injuries on your body. I can heal you."

"Because big brother, you seem to be in a lot of pain..." The little girl opened her big, dazed eyes, saying with a face full of heartache.

"A healing-type Psychic?" Loren, leaning against the cargo hold wall, probingly asked, while the Federation Coin timely appeared in his hand.

"Mhm, big brother! I'm a Third Rank healing-type Psychic."

After saying that, the coin in Loren's hand was tossed up and fell down.

No wonder she dared to board the smuggling cargo hold alone...

"Is there a price?" Loren asked again.

"After we reach the Radiant Flow Star Domain, can big brother help me look for my dad?" The little girl looked at Loren with an expectant expression.

The coin was tossed up again.

After getting this answer, the vigilance in Loren's heart lessened a little.

However, out of caution, Loren still silently recited another sentence in his heart.

"Will accepting her treatment pose any hidden dangers to my health? If yes, heads."

The coin fell, tails!

Accepting her treatment will not have hidden dangers.

The vigilance in Loren's heart lessened a bit more, but considering this scene was still too bizarre.

So, Loren, still somewhat worried, silently recited another sentence in his heart.

"Is accepting her treatment a good thing for me? If yes, heads."

The coin fell again, heads.

Accepting her treatment is a good thing.

Loren let out a sigh of relief in his heart. He put away the coin and nodded towards the little girl not far away.

"Fine. You heal me, I'll help you find your father." Loren's flat voice echoed in the cargo hold.

Hearing Loren agree, the little girl ran towards Loren with a happy face, bouncing and skipping.

The other stowaways in the cargo hold all silently watched the interaction between Loren and the little girl, their faces showing indescribable strangeness.

One stowing away with serious injuries? A little girl alone looking for her dad? Are you two fishing?!

Even the doctor sitting beside Loren stood up with a vigilant expression, silently moving away from Loren and the strange little girl who was approaching.

In this kind of environment, one of you dares to ask? The other dares to believe?

Was that coin-tossing action Mr. Loren's unique lie-detection method...

Then, he recalled Loren's performance throughout the journey.

What a terrifying man, actually enduring serious injuries all the way? I didn't notice at all...

After the doctor silently moved away from Loren, the little girl bounced and skipped to Loren's side and sat down, happily saying to Loren:

"Big brother, give me your hand."

Loren silently extended his left hand.

Then, the little girl placed both her hands on Loren's broad palm, closed her eyes, and activated her ability.

A dazzling white light emitted from her small hands. Simultaneously, Loren's nose caught a unique fragrant scent of a forest after rain.

It was the scent of "lushness" and "growth."

At the same time, Loren clearly felt his injuries improving.

The pain in his internal organs and throughout his body was gradually diminishing.

Feeling the changes in his body, Loren looked thoughtfully at the little girl with closed eyes before him.

This healing speed is no simple healing-type ability...

Did "Fortune" bring her to my side?

"Master, judging by the speed of your injury recovery, the other party's ability is very strong." Raven also reminded Loren in his mind.

Loren didn't answer, silently feeling the changes in his body.

A tingling, numb sensation, an indescribable feeling of lightness.

It was as if Loren had been carrying a great mountain while walking all along in the past. And just now, after receiving her treatment, Loren had thrown down that heavy mountain and even lay down...

Even the large scar Loren had from that year when he was 17, left in that alley, quietly disappeared.

Loren's chest at this moment was smooth and new, his skin as smooth and tender as a newborn's...

When he perceived the huge changes in his body, Loren finally became somewhat surprised.

Only Third Rank and already has this level of healing ability?! Is it a rule-system healing ability?!

Soon, the light on the little girl's hands disappeared.

The treatment was over.

The little girl retrieved her hands with a relaxed expression, then looked at the somewhat surprised Loren with an expectant face.

"Big brother, your injuries, including the hidden dangers within your body, I've healed them all!"

"As agreed, until we find my dad, I'll be following you. No going back on your word, okay."

"Oh, right, my name is Ayla Morningstar. And you, big brother, what's your name?"
