So Yuan deliberately waited a few days before turning Wen Xishu back into a human.
Yuan was well aware of Wen Xishu's time in the Mechanical City because she summoned the Daedalus.
The Four Emperors, countless nobles, and common folk... nearly died once in Yuan's rampage a few days ago.
But also because of Yuan's awakening, they all came back to life, including the Daedalus.
From the Daedalus, Yuan learned the manufacturing time of the "Xishu" and therefore deduced Wen Xishu's "seven-day deadline."
So...
Wen Xishu was overdue.
Became someone lost on the Three-Tower Battlefield.
This was all part of the plan designed by Yuan and Taurus.
Yuan knew this was unethical, but she was completely "free" now. Meanwhile, she needed to find a father for Xiaoxiao.
"I will repay you, compensate you, and I will also find a way to make you stronger, surpassing the Bunker People. But for now, I'm sorry, I have to continue deceiving you."
