She... Right, she must have known. She was one of those people. Since they'd taken me as a test subject, she must have known that I
used to be a man.
It wasn't surprising.
But why was this feeling of humiliation so intense? Was it because she'd brought up my past? Or because she'd knocked Juanjuan unconscious...
No, neither of those. It was because...
"Why... Why, Tang Xintian?! I was sincere with you. Why did you betray me?!"
Thinking back on everything that had happened, even the heart I'd thought had grown cold still ached faintly.
"...Sister Yuxuan, don't you think this is a little too much of a mood-killer?"
Tang Xintian lowered her head. I couldn't see her expression, but somehow I felt as though I could sense her emotions.
"You're not that kind of person. You shouldn't be like this! The Tang Xintian I know isn't like this!"
My body swayed, and my legs were so weak I could barely stand. Right... I didn't know if I could use my steam mode again.
"Hss~ Hmph!"
"Psssh~"
I drew in a sharp breath and pressed down. Steam erupted from my entire body again, but this time it was completely different from before. It had none
of that powerful force that could send steam more than half a meter. Even the sound was different, like air leaking from a balloon.
My heart kept pumping, and some of my strength returned, but by then, I didn't think I could stop her anymore.
Bastard! Fuck! Shit!
Tang Xintian!
"Hehe~ Sister Yuxuan, do you know what I admire most about you?"
I staggered to my feet, and Xintian's words rang in my ears. Then the roar of an engine came rushing toward us from afar, followed by a beam of
blindingly bright light!
