Artificial female bots might not be as precious as the females, bu since they were so hard to create, every single one was treated like treasure by the beastmen.

And now, watching this female ask for just one of mid–grade nutrient fluids so timidly, Ryker felt distressed about her.

With that thought, Ryker handed the entire box over to Lex, his voice deliberately soft and gentle. “These are all yours. I have plenty more. If you want to try any other flavors, I’ll get them for you.

“I’ll bring you a few high–grade nutrient fluids to taste tomorrow alright?”

Hearing Ryker say that, Lexie looked down at the box in her hands.

Surprised and delighted, she nodded eagerly at Ryker. “Ryker, thank you so much. You’re seriously the nicest.”

Ryker was stunned by Lexie’s praise. He froze for a moment, then met her bright eyes.

The next second, a genuine smile lit up his face.

Ryker was Austin’s personal guard, used to fighting alongside him across countless battlefields. To everyone else, he was far from nice.

He’d always been known as the cold–faced reaper. Honestly, he never imagined that one day, a sweet artificial female would call him a nice guy.

The praise made Ryker so happy that he could barely contain himself.

Because of that, Ryker’s gaze softened even more as he looked at Lexie.

Ryker said, “By the way, I set aside a couple of outfits for you in the closet on your right.

“After you clean up, just make do with those for now. When we get back to Dophi Planet, I’ll get you some cute dresses.

“You might not be a real female, but you have the same instincts as they do.

“Liking pretty clothes and jewelry is just part of who you are.”

Hearing Ryker say that, Lexie was so touched that she didn’t eve know what else to say. She could only keep thanking him.

After saying goodbye to Ryker, Lexie sat down on the bed and offened the box in her hands. She picked up a vial and checked it out under the light. Inside, the clear liquid shimmere with tiny sparkles, looking almost magical.

Can something so pretty be edible?‘ Lex thought to herself.

But then she shrugged, thinking, I’m basically a goner anyway, what does it matter if I drink it?‘

With that thought, Lexie twisted off the cap and took a small sip To her surprise, it tasted so sweet.

She pressed her lips together, then finished off the rest of the murient fluid in one go. Instantly, a gentle warmth spread through her, and the pain in her stomach cased up way more th she’d expected.

Wait, can this nutrient fluid actually help with my pain?‘ Lex wondered, surprised.

Thinking that, she twisted open another vial and chugged it dow

As that mysterious energy slowly spread through her, Lexie felter body relax more than it ever had before after being tormented by sickness for so long.

Wow, this feels so good, Lex thought.

She didn’t know if this nutrient fluid could actually cure her, butas long as it eased her pain, for someone with not much time left, that was honestly a blessing.

Staring at the few vials left in the box, Lexie thought, ‘As long as m not hurting, maybe the days I have left won’t be vo tough after all.

With the pain gone, she picked out some clean clothes and headed to the bathroom for a long, soothing shower.

After she was all cleaned up and lying in bed, the soft mattress and her body finally free of pain let her fall into the best sleep she’d had in ages.

She still had no clue where she’d ended up, but at least she didn’t feel hurt anymore.

“This feels amazing, Lexie thought.

When Lex woke up again, she peeked out the window. The galaxy was still sparkling. With no way to tell what time it was, she didn’t hesitate to finish the rest of the nutrient fluid as soon as the pain started creeping back.

After a few vials, Lex felt like she’d just discovered some kind of magic potion.

Every time she drank it, the pain would be gone in a flash.

Thinking about it, Lex stared at the empty box, feeling a wave of worry wash over her.

She’d polished off the whole box in just one night.

If the pain came back, where was she supposed to get more nutrient fluid? Honestly, she’d feel super awkward asking Ryker for more.

They barely even knew each other, and hitting him up for more nutrient fluid would be seriously embarrassing.

Just as Lexie was lost in thought, staring at the empty box, someone knocked on the door. She hurried over and opened it, only to find Austin standing there.

The moment she saw Austin’s serious face, Lexie’s smile vanished in a flash.

Seeing her smile fade so quickly, Austin unconsciously furrowed his brows.

Austin mused, ‘Am I really that hard to like? Every time this artificial female bot sees me, she just looks so annoyed. Did I do something to piss her off or what?‘

Even with all those thoughts swirling in his head, he kept reminding himself that she was his guest.

Plus, he still had no clue where this artificial female bot had come from, so keeping her right under his nose was just the

safest bet.

Thinking that, Austin just frowned. He looked at Lex and spoke a low, serious tone, “You’re Lexie Goodwin, right?”

Surrounded by Austin’s overwhelming vibe, Lexie nervously straightened up and responded, “Yes, Marshal Drake‘

“Follow me. We’re going to eat,” Austin said.
