Chapter 178: Chapter 173: Fear of Small Objects

"Old Ke? What are you doing?" Xiao Yi saw Clements’ actions and couldn’t help but feel a bit suspicious.

"It’s nothing." Although Clements still had an expressionless face, the drop of cold sweat on his forehead betrayed his nervousness.

"If it’s nothing, then why are you locking it?" Xiao Yi asked again.

"Because..." Clements hesitated for a moment before saying, "Because the fridge has a cooling problem, it can’t just be opened casually, otherwise the cooling function is likely to break, so I put a lock on it, to prevent anyone from unknowingly opening it."

"...I see." Xiao Yi didn’t think much of it and accepted the explanation.

The audience in the live stream could probably guess what was inside the fridge, but they didn’t care.

What they cared about was one thing, that was, with Clements arriving, there was no need for Xiao Yi to cook himself.

So, the live stream was filled with messages of "Thank you, Clements."

Seeing that Xiao Yi wasn’t planning to ask any more questions, Clements’ tense nerves seemed to have relaxed a bit. He then said:

"It’s also noon now, I’m sorry, it took longer than I expected, I’ll go prepare the food now."

Having said that, Clements had just turned and taken a few steps when he was stopped by Xiao Yi.

"Wait."

"...What is it?"

Xiao Yi looked at him, his gaze shifting slightly downward, "Your... clothes and trousers, how did they become so tattered?"

Clements’ clothes at this moment were not only covered in mud but also had tears all over them.

"You mean this?" Clements answered, "I accidentally got scratched by the thorns of a plant, this place is more dangerous than I imagined."

"Do we have needles and thread here?" Xiao Yi asked.

"...Eh? Yes, we have some, I saw them before while exploring the hotel. But, why do you need needles and thread?"

"Do you need to ask?" Xiao Yi said, "Take off the torn clothes, I’ll help you mend them."

"...You know how to mend?" Clements asked with a blank expression of surprise, "That’s actually something I hadn’t expected."

"It’s no big deal," Xiao Yi said, "It’s a skill necessary for survival, I had to learn it even if I didn’t want to."

[Wow! Brother Xiao Yi can also do needlework, how domestic is that?]

[Speaking of which... since it’s a survival skill, why doesn’t Brother Xiao Yi know how to cook? That should be the highest priority, right?]

Afterward, Xiao Yi and Clements came to the storage room, which was filled with a lot of household appliances and items, including needles and thread.

At the same time, they also found some old clothes in there, and they just happened to fit Clements.

But as the storage room was crammed with various items and space was limited, they left the storage room and went to the hallway after grabbing what they needed.

"Ok, take them off," Xiao Yi urged.

"..." Clements appeared to hesitate somewhat.

"What are you afraid of? There’s no one else here, just quickly take them off and change into a new set of clothes."

Clements thought that made sense, so he promptly started to undress.

However, just at that moment, someone who shouldn’t have been there appeared.

"...You’re here."

Nania, worried because Xiao Yi hadn’t returned for a long time, couldn’t help but come back to the hotel to check on the situation.

Then, she saw Clements, who was just about to change his clothes.

Clements was intending to change all of his clothes, so he was completely naked.

And thus, his privates were exposed in front of Nania.

"...!" Clements got a shock when he saw Nania suddenly arrive and hastily put on his pants.

But, ultimately, it was too late.

That thing had already been deeply imprinted in Nania’s eyes, deeply engraving her mind.

"...guh!"

Nania let out a strange cry and then fell straight back, her eyes rolling, and she fainted on the spot.

[...Huh? A person in her thirties, and she fainted from shock? Could it be she’s never seen one before?]

[Isn’t this a bit...]

"..." Even Clements blushed a bit at this incident.

Seeing him that way, Xiao Yi patted his shoulder, trying to comfort him:

"It’s okay, don’t worry. She didn’t faint because you’re too small, have you ever heard of megalophobia? So, have you heard of microphobia? No, right, because there’s no such illness. So, she must have fainted from megalophobia; you should feel proud of that."

[?????????]

[What is Brother Xiao Yi talking about?]

Clements couldn’t help but express a "?" himself.

"..." After a moment of silence, Clements said, "I don’t think that’s the reason she fainted."

At this moment, Liliana had just arrived at the scene when she saw Nania laying unconscious.

"You all are here... Hmm? What’s happening?"

...

When Nania woke up, she found herself lying on a bed and saw three faces filling her entire field of vision.

"You have woken up," Xiao Yi told her. "It looks like the surgery was a success."

"...Surgery!?" Nania was so terrified that she suddenly leaped from the bed. "What have you done to me!?"

"Nothing much," Clements hurriedly tried to comfort her. "I just gave you some sedatives, that’s all. It just so happened we had them in the inn."

"Really?" Nania finally sighed with relief and then glared at Xiao Yi fiercely. "You bastard!"

"I was only joking," Xiao Yi said and then took out a plate of wild fruits. "Forget about that for now, try some of these big fruits they picked."

"Fruits picked by Little Anna? That’s great!" Nania’s attention was instantly diverted, and she began to eat the fruit eagerly.

While watching Nania enjoy the fruit, Xiao Yi remarked:

"Looks like there’s no problem at all. But then again, it wasn’t really a big deal."

However, Xiao Yi’s words once again angered Nania.

"What do you mean ’not a big deal’? You actually... actually let me see such filthy things!"

...

Clements felt disappointed. He slightly bowed his head, too ashamed to face her.

"Filthy? I can’t just ignore that comment."

But when Xiao Yi heard this, he immediately felt dissatisfied and began to argue with reason!

"What is filthy about a human’s reproductive organs? Doesn’t everyone have them? Besides, we come into contact with, and even eat, many things related to reproductive organs! Crab roe is the reproductive gland, equivalent to testes! Caviar and eggs are eggs produced by females! Nuts are like embryos! Fruit is... it contains the womb with embryos!"

...!

Nania, who was about to take another bite of the fruit, froze. The once delicious fruit suddenly became difficult to swallow.

She looked at Xiao Yi speechlessly, "Stop talking, stop talking, can’t you see I’m wrong?"

Xiao Yi then nodded, seemingly satisfied.

Just when everyone thought this was the end of the conversation, someone unexpected spoke up.

Liliana nodded thoughtfully and said:

"So that’s how it is. In that case, the claim that the fluid from the male prostate has beauty benefits is also correct?"

Xiao Yi: "?"

Clements: "?"

Nania: "?"

[?????????????]

[This one is even more hardcore!]

Nania really wanted to know who told Liliana such things. If she found out, she was determined to render that person’s reproductive organs useless!

Anyway, that was the end of the matter. Nania wanted to continue guarding by the roadside, but Xiao Yi told her to lie down a bit longer and that he would go on guard instead.

However, Xiao Yi had just left the room and was walking down the corridor when he suddenly slipped and fell to the ground.

"Wow! What happened? Isn’t the corridor floor covered with carpets? Where did this water come from?"

Xiao Yi could distinctly feel that he had stepped on a puddle of liquid before falling. As his hand supported him on the ground, indeed he could feel a somewhat sticky substance.

But as Xiao Yi opened his eyes once more, he found himself startled.

The world before him had once again changed.

Cold, sinister, dim.

A rusty iron fence filled Xiao Yi’s view, and the place he was in now appeared to be inside a prison.

Just as Xiao Yi was going to get up, he felt a resistance coming from the ground.

That resistance stemmed from the dark red, sticky liquid on the ground which seemed to have congealed, sticking to Xiao Yi and stretching into strands.

Xiao Yi exerted a little force to break them and stood, and then he saw it—hanging in midair inside the prison, like a sedge worm, was a person.

Holding him up were two iron hooks, which had pierced deeply into his shoulders, suspending him stably in midair.

He had no limbs, not even a lower half of the body, with white and red chunks of flesh arranged in strips along the lower half of his torso.

To be more precise, that was the flesh on his ribs that hadn’t been fully scraped clean.

Parts of his organs dangled at the very bottom, openly suffering under the torment of gravity, with one particularly twisted and elongated organ being the most conspicuous.

Incredibly, he was still alive.

Unbelievably alive.

His lifeless eyes weakly moved, seemingly also noticing Xiao Yi’s presence.

His lips trembled slightly, even making a sound.

"Save me... please, kill me."
