Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 870: Chapter 22: Stranger from the Past (Part 3)

Xiao Xian said the beastman is Yiyi.

Arranging for Quinn and Yiyi to meet might spark something, as Xiao Xian knows there is no second case of beastman in China, and Huake Institute, being the highest institution gathering different cultivators in China, has received only Yiyi as a beastman over so many years. Such a low ratio has certain benefits, but also many drawbacks.

The benefit is that the school has greatly increased its emphasis on Yiyi, and this exchange program is the best proof of that.

For example, in the central computer, the courses available for Yiyi to study are surprisingly few, and she doesn’t have any predecessors to exchange ideas with or internal resources. While Xiao Xian’s situation is also special, she still has Mei Nian, the Space Immortal Seed, and even the White Flood Dragon for guidance, whereas Yiyi is different; her learning has always been self-exploratory.

Introducing Quinn to Yiyi serves another purpose. Yiyi seems to have shifted her focus and started developing feelings with Qu Yang, but Xiao Xian understands she still likes Wang Shuai, otherwise she wouldn’t have flown into a rage upon seeing Wang Shuai in Hudson Park.

Wang Shuai, undoubtedly, also has a fondness for Yiyi. After Yiyi went missing, and Zhou Ziang explained Bronx is the most chaotic area of New York, Wang Shuai rushed there without a second thought, madly searching for Yiyi’s presence.

Their various actions and mutual concerns make the future of this relationship even more enigmatic.

Yiyi has already lost her mother’s love, and Xiao Xian sincerely hopes she can find a new emotion to compensate for her mother’s love.

During the exchange program, any activities departing from Ithaca must obtain joint approval from the country’s leader and the institute to prevent anything like the Bronx incident from happening again. Taking Yiyi to see Quinn, Xiao Xian followed the procedure to inform Wang Shuai beforehand.

Upon hearing they were going to meet Senior Researchers from Mengshan Company, under the referral of another Senior Researcher, Locke, Wang Shuai became nervous. After repeatedly questioning Xiao Xian about the reason for going, he reluctantly agreed to their request, but added a condition, "I must go with you."

Xiao Xian couldn’t find a reason to refuse Wang Shuai’s "kind" intention and had to agree to his accompaniment.

Quinn readily agreed when he heard Locke wanted to bring a newcomer beastman for a visit.

After Xiao Xian introduced Wang Shuai’s identity, Locke, hearing the other party was from Huake Institute, put on a face like a "spy," and scanned Wang Shuai with an X-ray-like look.

Wang Shuai didn’t back down either, curling his lips at Locke’s broccoli hairstyle, secretly questioning, Americans are Americans, excessively liberal, even important figures like Senior Researchers are so bizarre.

It was quite a journey to Quinn’s Underground Botanical Garden, so the four of them took the intercity high-speed train. Sitting in the carriage, to ease the atmosphere, Xiao Xian started chatting, "Professor Rock, would you mind telling us a bit about Dr. Quinn? You mentioned his temper is quite unique."

Using "unique" to describe Quinn’s temper is already very polite.

Locke is already regarded as a headache-inducing research fanatic in outside eyes, but if compared with Quinn, Locke is absolutely normal.

"Oh, let me introduce him. Your name is Zhang Yiyi, right?" Locke switched to fluent English.

As a Jewish person, the language talent runs in his blood, Locke studied Chinese in university and even served as an internal training instructor for Chinese employees at Mengshan Company.

He noticed Yiyi’s English wasn’t strong, so he switched to Chinese. This thoughtful gesture made Wang Shuai raise an eyebrow, while Yiyi gratefully nodded.

"Which type of beastman are you?" Locke asked quite inexplicably.

"Which type?" Yiyi was puzzled.

"Cold-blooded or warm-blooded? Meaning, do you usually have violent tendencies, eat raw meat or..." Locke’s questions became more and more inappropriate.

Yiyi shivered, while Xiao Xian and Wang Shuai glanced at each other, wondering if Quinn is a human or a monster?
