Standing in the spiritual plant room, Su Ling felt a strong sense of surrealism. The spiritual plants are learning how to read! After 3 seconds, he eventually calmed down. This is spiritual plants we are talking about. It’s not surprising to know that they can learn to read since that they can share mental images with him and could draw simple pictures. After all, the spiritual plants in Belle are originally a kind of intelligent organism, but its IQ is not high— or perhaps it’s just the humans who think that they are not intelligent.

Seeing the 2 plants studying hard, Su Ling took Gu Liheng to the sample room earlier and continued to search for a spiritual plant scent that is suitable for Gu Liheng. Although male god’s sleep quality is very good these days, the main reason was they were sleeping together on the same bad; every day before going to bed was sweet torture. If they continue on with this pattern, they would probably get ‘overheated’ one day (from restraining themselves). Right now, there is no suitable fragrance, and they may have to sleep separately later. Su Ling feels that it is crucial to make a fragrance suitable for male god. Male god will have urgent documents to read from time to time during this vacation. That means when he started working again, his work pressure will be even greater.

For the next 2 days, both of them stayed in the sample room most of the time, and all the plant samples were seen and smelled by them. Su Ling sorted out his notes and selected 20 spiritual plants’ scent that seems to work the best. Gu Liheng ordered the people to send these spiritual plants to the villa. At the end of the week in the research building, Su Ling packed up and placed all of his spiritual plant in the space storage one by one. Xian Mo Yu cooperated very well, but Lóng Mo Téng was determined not to get in and stayed wrapped around his wrist. Seeing that Lóng Mo Téng won’t occupy much space and did not affect him, he left it alone. He bid farewell to Director Li and the researcher team and left the association building.

Upon returning to the villa, Su Ling went to the spiritual plant room and took out the spiritual plants. Immediately when Xian Mo Yu came out, Lóng Mo Téng swiftly moves onto Xian Mo Yu’s petals, and then skillfully turned on the computer. Su Ling smiled, he simply prepared the nutrient solution for them and left, not wanting to disturb them from studying. He walked out of the spiritual plant room and asked Gu Liheng, “Have the spiritual plants you bought arrived?”

“They are In the backyard,” Gu Liheng pulled him, feeling a little helpless with the young man’s diligence, “but let’s have dinner first.”

After dinner, Su Ling received a message from Director Wang, it was the program schedule of the science program. He replied after reading it.

“Xian Mo Yu now only drinks nutrient solution. On-site hunting is not suitable. If you want to introduce that to the audience, the spiritual plant registration association has related videos.”

The science program would be broadcasted live throughout the whole process. There will be some interactive sessions, and a large proportion of the audience were students. Since this time it involves spiritual plants, there must be a lot of Omega audiences. Hence, if the hunting process was demonstrated on the spot, many people are likely to get scared.

Director Wang: “I will communicate with the association first, then I’ll contact you later after making some adjustments.”

Su Ling: “Alright.”

After the call, Su Ling took Gu Liheng’s hand to the backyard and looked at the newly bought spiritual plants. Afterwards, Gu Liheng went to the gym room to exercise. Worried that his pheromone would interfere with male god’s concentration, Su Ling didn’t follow and jogged around the villa. Half an hour later, the pheromone scent on his body was particularly strong due to exercise. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked into the living room, heading to the guest room to take a shower.

As he walked quickly through the living room, a whiff of red wine scent that could not be ignored came from behind. When he turned his head, Su Ling saw Gu Liheng in a tank top and shorts coming down the stairs. There was a layer of sweat formed on male god’s body, and his wheat-coloured skin glowed on the firm muscles. Su Ling’s breathing was hitched, his throat moved up and down, and his body temperature started to rise.

Gu Liheng smelled his pheromone and stopped on his track. His voice was hoarse as he said, “Sorry, I didn’t see you around, so I got worried.”

Turning around, Su Ling strode towards Gu Liheng, with eagerness. His reaction caused Gu Liheng’s eyes to darken, and the eyes looking at him seemed to be on fire.

Gu Liheng jumped down the stairs in three or two steps. The two met at the bottom of the stairs, and they started hugging and kissing.

When Su Ling’s thoughts were clear again, it is already the next morning. His eyelids moved, and the bracelet rang out. Squinting to see the caller’s name, Su Ling glanced at the time and quickly got up, “Hiss…”

Gu Liheng embraced Su Ling from behind and comforted, “Don’t rush.” He said as he rubbed the sore parts on Su Ling’s body. Then he placed his chin on his(SL) shoulder, rubbing affectionately.

Su Ling happily leaned back on Gu Liheng and connected to the call, “Meng Meng, I will be at Xiao villa before 9.00 am.”

After the initial treatment, Old Master Xiao’s condition has eased. According to his physical condition, the doctor revised the treatment plan and changed the time of using the Redthorn Ball liquid to before going to bed at night. But because the medicine taken is a synthetic medicine with the ball liquid as the primary raw material, it takes time to make it. Su Ling can’t be too late to go to the Xiao villa. These days, except for special circumstances, they usually go before 9.00 am.

Lin Meng: “Why is your voice so hoarse…cough, have you wake up yet?”

Su Ling cleared his throat and said, “Yes, already woke up.”

Lin Meng smiled tacitly, and then asked, “You won’t be staying in the association building from today, right?”

“En, we just returned to the villa yesterday afternoon.”

Lin Meng: “Great, I will talk to you again when you come to Ah Rui’s house.”

Su Ling acknowledged with an En and got up. After he finished his breakfast, he gets ready to go out. As he is about to get into the car, a root emerged from the ground and entangled his foot. He lowered his head and looked at the ground nearby. Fortunately, there is only a small hole. He leaned over and lightly squeezed the root, “I’ll be back later, so let go of my foot, alright?”

The root didn’t let go, and a mental image of 3 little stick figures holding hands appeared in Su Ling’s mind. Next, the word ‘go’ appeared next to the figures with a dot at the end.

Su Ling guessed, “Go together?”

The root swayed happily.

Su Ling finally compromised and said, “All right.” He went to the spiritual plant room and put all of the spiritual plants in his space storage. As for Lóng Mo Téng, it only wanted to stay on his wrist. He rubbed his wrist and walked out of the spiritual plant room. Then he saw male god in a formal suit standing at the door, and couldn’t help but laugh, “Are you going with me too?”

Before this, the male god won’t go with him because both locations were quite close.

“En.” Gu Liheng glanced at his wrist and nodded.

Lin Meng smiled ambiguously at Su Ling when he saw Gu Liheng following behind him.

Su Ling went to harvest the raw material from Redthorn Ball and came out of the spiritual plant room. He heard Lin Meng saying to Xiào Rui, “Oh yeah, you and President Gu can go to play ball!”

Seeing that Su Ling has come out, Lin Meng immediately waved to him. With a look of expectation, he said, “Ling Ling, let’s go swimming.”

“Alpha can’t get in the Omega’s swimming pool, so Ah Rui can’t accompany me, and President Gu can’t go with you either. But they can play sports in the nearby sports centre.”

Su Ling is a little moved, exercise is always in his mind. Rather than jogging, he prefers swimming or riding a bicycle. However, Planet Belle has no bicycles! Everything is automated, and there is not manual transportation, so he can’t achieve the feeling of exercising. Moreover, male god should also make more friends. However, he hesitated and said, “Recently, I had too much exposure on the Internet, and it may not be convenient to go out. Li Heng’s villa has a swimming pool. Should we go to the villa instead?”

Gu Liheng immediately turned to look at Su Ling. This is the first time he heard the young man calling his name, other than on the bed.

Sensing his gaze, Su Ling raised his eyebrows and smiled at male god. He has thought about it and decided to just call the name naturally. Just that usually when there are only two of them, he rarely calls male god by name.

“That’s boring.” Lin Meng tapped on his bracelet and opened the pictures of the swimming pool. Then he got up and sat down beside Su Ling.

“Look, this is the swimming pool I often go to. The swimming pool has a large area and has various scenery simulation styles, including oceans, seabeds, glaciers, and snow-capped mountains. It looks very realistic, and it feels great.”

Su Ling was very moved as he looked at the pictures. The glacier-themed swimming pool was surrounded by icebergs, which seemed very cold, but the actual temperature is very high.

Lin Meng: “If you are afraid of being found out, we will book the section. The pool area is smaller, but it’s enough for us two.”

“Go and play.” Gu Liheng looked at Su Ling with pity in his eyes.

When the young man saw the pictures, there was an apparent surprise as if he had never seen it before. Gu Liheng recalled what he heard about the young man’s experiences. Given the neglect he had in the Su family, the young man probably had never been to a theme swimming pool. Maybe he hadn’t even been to an amusement park before. As he is thinking about it, Gu Liheng subconsciously recalled that there’s a theme park suitable for Omega in Belle City.

Su Ling smiled and said, “Are you going to the sports centre with Xiào Rui?”

Gu Liheng nodded, “En, it’s right next to the swimming pool. We can have lunch outside at noon.”

Su Ling was particularly moved by this proposal, “Then it’s decided.”

Lin Meng’s big eyes were curved up with great joy, and he hugged Su Ling, “It’s great. I’m really looking forward to going with my friends. It’s too boring to go alone.” He got up and pulled Su Ling’s hand, “They sell everything there, so we just go straight away.”

Xiào Rui helplessly said with a pampering tone, “What are you rushing for? Slow down.”

Lin Meng: “We can enjoy the fun longer if we go early!”

Gu Liheng and Xiào Rui sent them to the swimming pool. They arranged to meet at the entrance of the swimming pool at 11.45 am. After the Omegas entered the building, they went to the sports centre together.

At the front desk, Lin Meng bought two new swimsuits directly, as well as swim rings and water guns. The waiter took them into the entrance of Glacier Pool and said, “Please feel free to contact us if you need anything.”

Lin Meng nodded, swiped his card, and the door opened from both sides.

Su Ling’s field of vision became bright and white. The temperature hadn’t changed, but he felt much refreshed.

Lin Meng took off his isolator and jumped in excitement, “Ahh, so comfortable! I can’t wait to get into the water.” He shook the swimsuit in his hand and said, “I’m going to change.”

Su Ling also took his isolator and went to the changing room. He changed into an Omega swimsuit, which is actually shorts and vest. He pulled on the vest because it was a little uncomfortable; back in his world, only wearing shorts will do. He left the changing room, and Lin Meng whistled, “Wow, Ling Ling is so pale!”

Su Ling: “…You are pale as well.”

Leaning over, Lin Meng put his arm next to Su Ling’s arm to compare. Both of their skin is pale, and it looked a little dazzling under the virtual glacier’s white lights. He pulled Su Ling with a smile, and they walked by the pool, “Can you swim?”

Su Ling nodded, Lin Meng let go of him, “Then let’s jump in together?”

Su Ling: “Sure.”

Both of them bend their knees and jump into the water neatly. In the water, a refreshing sensation swept across the body. Su Ling could felt the pores all over his body were open, which is very comfortable. Coming up for air, he stroked his wet hair and looked around. The scenery made him feel like he is surrounded by glaciers, and it makes his heart swell.

Lin Meng poked his head out beside Su Ling, “That felt awesome! Wanna compare speed?”

Su Ling raised his eyebrows, “Okay.”

When the two were tired from swimming, they sat on the reclining chairs to rest, drank juice and chatted. After some rest, they went into the water again. Later on, they playfully shoot each other with the water gun. Although it was childish, they still played happily. They stayed until it’s almost lunchtime before reluctantly leaving.

After they left the swimming pool, Lin Meng looked around and said, “Hmm, Ah Rui and President Gu’s side is not over yet?”

Su Ling glanced at the time, and saw that it’s only 11.40 am so he said, “Wait a bit, there are 5 minutes left.”

Lin Meng: “Shall we go to find them next door?”

Su Ling grabbed Lin Meng, who was about to leave and said, “It’s all Alpha over there. It’s not suitable for us to go.”

He looked at Lin Meng with a little helplessness in his tone, and suddenly remembered some plots in the novel. Lin Meng is a standard protagonist who is innocent, kind-hearted, silly, and sweet. He does whatever he wants, often causing a lot of troubles but managed to encounter many interesting things as well. Thinking of this, Su Ling suddenly felt a bit old.

“AHH…” Suddenly, a scream came from the right side, and 2 Omegas screamed and ran away in panic.

Lin Meng hurriedly ran over towards the commotion, “That’s the direction of the sports centre. Could it be something has happened?!”

Su Ling couldn’t pull Lin Meng back, and he didn’t want as well because he was a little worried. With male god and Xiào Rui’s identity, there should be no one stupid enough to trouble them. But thinking that something happened that may be related to male god, Su Ling cannot stand still.

Chapter 58 – Experiment [OW]

Please don’t retranslate from my English version and don’t repost in Wattpad for your ‘offline’ reading pleasure.

Seeing Xian Mo Yu agreed, Su Ling couldn’t help but laugh. He held the roots and lightly squeezed it, “Do you like star coins?” To agree right away upon hearing that there is an appearance fee.

The roots moved up and down. If I have money, I can raise my son!

Su Ling: “The raw materials you provided can sell for a lot of money. If you like star coins, do you want me to change some into cash for you?”

All of Xian Mo Yu’s attention was on ‘sold for a lot of money,’ so it didn’t hear the rest of the sentence. The front end of its roots stiffened, then a large number of roots waved happily in the air.

“Hahaha, did you hear that,” Xian Mo Yu showed off to its friend, “My poison sold for a lot of money!”

Lóng Mo Téng: “Idiot, didn’t you said earlier that you didn’t sell any?”

“Well, I saw it in the space storage a few days ago, hahaha,” Xian Mo Yu was thrilled, “I’m really amazing.”

Seeing it so happy, Su Ling decided to get some cash when he has time. He sent a message to Director Wang from the popular science program, “Xian Mo Yu agreed, but we have something to do in these 2 days.”

Director Wang: “Great. As for the appearance fee, is it alright if we give the same amount as a top star’s fee?”

Su Ling: “Yes.”

Director Wang: “I will contact you after things are finalized at my side, then we’ll discuss further.”

Su Ling: “Okay.”

When Ye Lei walked in, he saw Xian Mo Yu’s action and smiled, “It’s in a good mood. We will start to test the effect of its fragrance at 8.30 am, is that okay?”

Su Ling: “Yes, are all the testers here?”

Ye Lei nodded.

Su Ling lightly squeezed the roots, “In the experiments later, you just need to release your fragrance as usual, don’t spray any poison.”

The roots moved up and down to show that it understood.

Su Ling, Gu Liheng, and Ye Lei moved to the monitoring room next door. Boss and his team members will stay outside the experiment room to look after the testers. At 8.30 am, the experiment officially started, and the first pair of AO walked into the spiritual plant room.

Ye Lei pointed to the next screen, “This pair of AO has a compatibility rate of 11%, which is the lowest in the group. Today, we will test the rates from low to high compatibility.”

Nodded, Su Ling turned to look at the surveillance. After the pair entered the room, they looked at Xian Mo Yu with surprise and excitement. They wanted to get closer but didn’t dare. Too focused on Xian Mo Yu, the pair has completely forgotten their purpose in the experiment.

Ye Lei turned on the microphone and reminded, “Please take off your isolator and feel if there are any reactions.”

The two men came back to their senses, they took off their isolator, and looked at each other nervously. After 10 minutes, both didn’t blush, nor their heartbeats speed up, and they left the spiritual plant room calmly.  Ye Lei activated the ventilation system and waited until the system display showed no residual pheromone left in the room before informing Boss to let the second pair in.

The entire process was extremely dull. Each pair gave the same copy-and-paste reactions. They enter the room, get shocked and excited upon seeing Xian Mo Yu. Then they took off their isolator and left the room with excitement and joy after 10 minutes. It wasn’t until the AO compatibility rate exceeded 80% that that pair began to respond to each other’s pheromone. But they could still preserve their rational thinking.

Ye Lei said with excitement, “This is amazing. Xian Mo Yu is a natural tranquilizer/sedative.” He said to Boss, “The compatibility rate of the last pair is 93%. Get ready with inhibitors; the scene may get out of control.”

Boss nodded and let the last pair enter the spiritual plant room.

Su Ling stared at the holographic screen. The Omega fell on the Alpha with blurry eyes the moment the experiment started, like a thirsty fish, tightly embracing the Alpha. Did he do the same thing when he was with male god? Then his face reddened because his actions might be even more exaggerated. After all, he has been a real man for 20 years, so he is not easily shy, unlike the native Omegas here. Gu Liheng’s gaze fell on his face, and the hand holding him tightened slightly. Su Ling gave a light cough without turning his head to look at male god.

Watching the experiments, Xian Mo Yu and Lóng Mo Téng discussed the test subjects enthusiastically. Xian Mo Yu shook its roots, “It seems that no one here is comparable to my daughter-in-law. My son sure has good eyes, as good as mine. “

Lóng Mo Téng’s leaves stood up, “Idiot! Is it time to brag? I don’t want to watch the human’s live ‘action’ movie.”

Xian Mo Yu: “Then should I separate them?” As it said that, its roots rushed out quickly to the hugging AO pair. It coiled around their legs, trying to separate the two.

It actually wanted to tie around their upper body, but both were holding onto each other tightly. Its roots couldn’t tie them separately, so Xian Mo Yu chose their legs instead.

Ye Lei was instructing Boss through the microphone, “Inject inhibitors into the tester…” when he saw what happened at the holographic screen. He immediately said, “Su Ling, stop Xian Mo Yu!”

Su Ling held his forehead. The pair of AO is obviously frightened by the roots. When the roots pulled at their feet, they held each other even tighter. This time, there are no more amorous feelings, just fright. He picked up the microphone and said, “Xian Mo Yu, quickly let them go. They are scared of you.”

The roots retracted back to the flower bud, and Xian Mo Yu said, “How timid, my son is more courageous!”

Lóng Mo Téng: “Idiot, you could have just tied both of them together and throw them out?”

“Oh, I will do it now.” Its roots were about to move when Boss opened the door and entered the room.

“Well, you are not needed anymore,” Lóng Mo Téng said.

Boss helped to inject inhibitor for the pair. Unaware that they have just escaped from Xian Mo Yu’s further action, they continue to stare at Xian Mo Yu with panic in their eyes. When Su Ling walked into the spiritual plant room, the roots rushed to wrap around his hand. He smiled at the AO pair and said, “I’m sorry, it’s not malicious,” he coughed slightly, “It probably wants to help separate you guys.”

Hearing that, the AO pair looked awkward, but their emotion has calmed a lot. The Alpha said, “As expected of a Grade S spiritual plant, it is really smart.”

Being praised, Xian Mo Yu felt very happy, and its roots immediately waving and dancing in the air.

The AO pair saw that, and their expression became more relaxed. Ye Lei asked how they felt during the experiment. After recording their input, Boss sent them out. After a while, Boss came in again and asked Su Ling, “The testers are asking if there are any similar types of fragrances for sale? They would like to book in advance if it’s available soon.”

Su Ling: “Not yet.”

Boss nodded and went out.

Ye Lei: “Do the raw materials provided by Xian Mo Yu have a similar scent? You should be possible to produce fragrances with the same effect.”

Su Ling nodded, “Yes, but I can’t sell any for the time being as the military needs the raw materials.”

Ye Lei nodded, “Then there is no way. Thanks for your hard work. I will continue to observe Xian Mo Yu in the afternoon, so you can do your own thing.”

After he finished speaking, Su Ling looked at Xian Mo Yu and fell into deep thoughts. Xian Mo Yu’s black liquid has a foul smell, while the red one is fragrant. The cure for treating the wounds caused by dark matters needed both types to work. Thinking of this, he sent a message to Ni An, “Doctor Ni An, the ratio of black liquid and red liquid needed to make the cure, is it 1:1?”

The red liquid effect made him feel touched, and Su Ling wanted to use it for himself. Since he and male god just completed a marking, they are in a relatively stable state. But if they removed their isolator, their emotions can easily go out of control due to their high compatibility rate. Moreover, his physical stamina is too weak now. Even if he wanted to follow the mood, his body can’t stand it at all. This caused both of them to feel uncomfortable from holding back.

Having the isolator on can prevent them from going out of control. When he is sleeping beside male god, his(GLH) sleep quality has improved. It’s challenging to adapt to the previous state, and he doesn’t want to sleep separately at night, which meant that an isolator is also required at night. However, keeping the isolator on 24/7 is not good for the glands, so using fragrance is the most appropriate way.

Ni An: “It’s 1:1. Is there any problem?”

Su Ling sighed; he won’t be able to save extra red liquid for the time being. Nevertheless, he told Ni An about the red liquid effect, but he didn’t say he wanted to use it for himself.

Ni An: “If a man-made cure can be developed earlier, the red liquid could be used to make fragrance products.”

Su Ling: “En, but I know how serious things are, sorry to disturb you.”

After the message conversation, Su Ling gave up the idea of using red liquid. His eyes briefly glanced past Lóng Mo Téng, and he was suddenly reminded that there is a big leaf in his space storage. At the same time, he wondered what the raw material from Grade S spiritual plant Lóng Mo Téng can do?

Considering how Lóng Mo Téng was in self-deception and did not want to be discovered, he decided not to attract attention and test it himself after returning home.

Gu Liheng ruffled Su Ling’s hair and said, “It’s time for lunch.” Su Ling smiled, and the two left the spiritual plant room. After lunch, Gu Liheng asked his people to send a wad of cash to the association.

Initially, Su Ling thought to go out and get the cash out himself, but he was recognized when he walked to the association’s office building, so he dispelled the idea of going out. Taking out the cash, he placed one banknote on Xian Mo Yu’s petals, “Do you like it?”

“Ka-” Xian Mo Yu hadn’t given a response yet, but Lóng Mo Téng, which had been motionless,
stretched out its leaves abruptly and pierced the banknote. The roots entangled the broken banknote and passed it back to Su Ling.

Taking back the banknote, Su Ling glanced at Lóng Mo Téng on the petals. So one like money, but the other hated it? He thought for a while and placed all the banknotes on the ground. Then he lightly squeezed the roots and said, “I’ll just put it here where your roots can touch it.”

The roots bundled up the banknotes and returned it into Su Ling’s hand. In Su Ling’s mind, a scene of elders giving red envelopes to children appeared.

Su Ling: “…you are giving them to me?”

The roots moved up and down.

Su Ling suddenly felt like he has mistaken something. Actually, Xian Mo Yu didn’t like the money?

Watching the whole interaction at the side, Lóng Mo Téng couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “From now on, you and I will learn to write together!” After announcing the decision to its little friend, its vine broke off from the main stem. The end of the vine grew longer to reach Su Ling’s wrist, and its emerald green leaves were gleaming. Next, a close-up mental image of a personal computer[1] appeared in Su Ling’s mind.

Xian Mo Yu’s roots looked stunned by its friend’s decision, so Lóng Mo Téng added, “You illiterate dummy! Don’t you want to communicate with your son normally? Don’t forget, you promised me you will get your son to buy me a computer.”

The roots moved, and another mental image appeared in Su Ling’s mind. He could easily tell who was sharing the images. Feeling a little surprised, he asked, “You don’t want the money; you just want to use the money to buy computers?”

The roots shook and nodded. Finally, it fell limply on the vine.

Xian Mo Yu: “I must study hard!” It is too difficult to communicate smoothly.

Su Ling couldn’t understand the full meaning of it, but one thing is certain, both plants wanted a computer. Could it be they were too bored? No matter what, he has decided to buy one for them. After all, a lot of his money was earned by Xian Mo Yu. He placed an order right away on the Internet, and it was delivered one hour later.

The personal computer is much smaller than notebooks in his previous world, it’s about the size of a mineral water bottle cap, and the display is on a holographic screen. He stuck the personal computer on Xian Mo Yu’s petal and taught them how to use it. In his mind, Lóng Mo Téng kept sharing the scene of a kindergarten class. With much awkwardness, he double confirmed what it means. After he somewhat determines the meaning, with him asking questions and the plant swinging its leaves up and down, Su Ling downloaded many kindergarten learning coursewares for the plants.

The feeling that he is raising children became deeper.

The spiritual plant room became extremely quiet with the personal computer, except for some voices coming out of the children’s literacy courseware. Xian Mo Yu’s roots were soaking in the nutrient solution container. But if they moved, they will be pierced by Lóng Mo Téng’s leaves. Lóng Mo Téng did nothing other than stabbing the roots and occasionally tapping on the holographic screen.

[1] The author didn’t mention much of their high tech stuff so Banana is throwing random guess at it. The bracelet everyone wore is probably their smart phone but smarter, liek they can do practically everything with their bracelet. Then there’s a personal computer thingy that equivalent to laptop, me think.

Chapter 57 – Earn money [OW]

Please don’t retranslate from my English version and don’t repost in Wattpad for your ‘offline’ reading pleasure.
30 more chapters and we are done with this novel, yasss~~ That’s about 4 months folks <3 <3 <3

Su Ling set his line in Do Not Disturb mode for unknown numbers. Then he plunged into the soft pillow and rubbed his face against it.

Gu Liheng rubbed his fluffy hair lightly and said, “This doesn’t sound right. You sleep more for a while, and I will check what happened.”

“Doesn’t sound right?” Su Ling turned his head to look at Gu Liheng.

Gu Liheng leaned against the head of the bed, and expressionlessly looked at the holographic screen from his bracelet; he seemed serious. That got Su Ling to sober up right away. He got up and looked at the holographic screen as well.

Gu Liheng glanced at Su Ling and pulled the collar of his pajamas higher. His voice was deep as he said, “Don’t catch a cold.”

Su Ling raised his eyebrows and lowered his head. Then he obediently buttoned up his pajamas.

“This is the statement from the Imperial Military Hospital’s official website,” Gu Liheng retracted his gaze and pointed to the holographic screen. “There is no mention of Xian Mo Yu’s owner.”

Su Ling read out the paragraph in a low voice, “After Marshal Manton’s condition improved, many people asked if there is a new treatment found. The answer is yes, and it’s the Grade S spiritual plant Xian Mo Yu discovered recently. Its raw materials can remove dark matter particles and treat the damage caused by the particles. The research institute is currently researching on recreating the cure artificially so everyone can rest assured.”

After Su Ling finished reading, Gu Liheng gave him an analysis, “In order to protect your safety, your information should not be disclosed unless it cannot be concealed. The current situation is very unreasonable. The military should not make such a major mistake.”

Only then Su Ling realized and said, “Oh yeah! Being woken up all of a sudden, I didn’t think about that earlier. When I registered Xian Mo Yu before, my information was hidden, so there’s no reason why I suddenly get exposed now.”

Gu Liheng: “The worst possibility is that there is a problem with the military personnel. I don’t trust your security with them. How about I get the Snow Leopard…”

As Gu Liheng was talking, Su Ling’s bracelet rang. He took a glance at it and told Gu Liheng, “It’s the Chief of Security department.” He turned on the speaker and said hello, “Chief Li.”

Chief Li’s voice was calm, and his speaking style was straightforward, “The news that you are Xian Mo Yu’s owner has spread online. After investigation, it is related to your classmate Zhao Qi.”

Su Ling was surprised by the information, “Zhao Qi?”

Chief Li: “Yes, my people are interrogating him. How is your relationship with him? Is he a threat to your personal safety?”

Su Ling: “Our relationship is not good. As for personal safety,” he glanced at Gu Liheng subconsciously before continuing, “I know he doesn’t like me, but whether this dislike will prompt him to hurt me, I’m not sure.”

Chief Li: “Okay, I will update you when the interrogation result comes out. Don’t worry, we will ensure your safety.”

Su Ling: “Thank you.”

Zhao Family

Zhao Qi’s face turned pale, and his lips trembling slightly as he looked at the two Alpha police officers with a cold expression in front of him.

The police officer circled several replies he posted anonymously on the Internet and asked, “How did you get the photos of Su Ling staying in the association and also the military department going to the association at night?”

In his anonymous replies, Zhao Qi revealed that Xian Mo Yu’s owner is Su Ling. It is precisely because of the two photos he attached in his reply that most netizens believed his words, and the news spread quickly online.

The officer clicked on the second photo, “This angle is completely different from the picture in the
previous news report. Did you get someone to monitor him? Why monitor him?”

Zhao Qi bit his lower lip. He wanted to tell the truth, but he didn’t dare. After the birthday party that day, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Su Ling doesn’t look right. He suspected that Su Ling is in the same situation as him, except that he reborn in his own body while Su Ling has changed into another person. He wanted to know if his suspicion is right, and also how much Su Ling knew about the future, so he asked someone to follow Su Ling. But he can’t say that because his own experience is also unbelievable as well, and he doesn’t want to be treated as an abnormal person.

Zhao Qi woke up very early this morning due to insomnia and saw the news about Xian Mo Yu. Many netizens were trying to guess who the owner is. When he saw someone saying, ‘In order to protect the owner, his/her identity will definitely not disclose to the public,’ he immediately thought of Su Ling.

Su Ling is the most suspicious person, regardless of whether he is the owner or not. As long as he can make people believe that Su Ling is, then Su Ling will be in danger. If he is not the real owner, at least Su Ling will be deemed trying to get famous when the truth is revealed. Everything was developing according to his expectations, and he was happy to see the rumors circling on the Internet, but he did not expect that someone from the military will come to find him.

How could Su Ling be so lucky!

This fact caused Zhao Qi to think that Su Ling really knows about the future, even more than he did. That’s why he could find so many precious spiritual plants and can get to know Gu Liheng before him. Zhao Qi knows very well that even if he denies the police officer’s accusation, he will be found out quickly, so he confessed with a crying tone in his voice, “Yes, I asked someone to monitor him. I was only jealous, and I didn’t think to do anything bad.”

The police officer’s tone was as cold as his expression, “Jealous?”

“Yes,” Zhao Qi nodded, “Su Ling used to be very silent and timid, but suddenly became brilliant. And he managed to get together with President Gu. Before this, at Madam Gu’s birthday party, he was in the limelight and stole all the attention from me. I am very envious of him.”

He glanced at the two officers before adding, “I just want to know why he changed so much. I am jealous of him, and I want to learn from him to become better.”

However, to Zhao Qi’s disappointment, the officers remained motionless and were not curious about Su Ling’s changes at all.

Police Officer: “Your actions have seriously violated the privacy of a citizen and are potentially dangerous. This is a penalty ticket. Keep a safe distance from Su Ling within one year.”

Zhao Qi bit his lower lip and nodded honestly. After they left, he grabbed the pillow on the sofa and flung it to the ground. Why did he(ZQ) get reborn? Isn’t it so that he has a chance to retaliate against the people from his past? Why is there a Su Ling in this lifetime?!

“Qi Qi,” Zhao Qing walked in, picked up the pillow, and patted him at the back. Then he sat beside him with a calm face, “You are too foolish, are you still thinking to cause trouble for Su Ling?”

Zhao Qi raised his voice, “Brother, there is definitely something wrong with him! How can a person change so much?!”

Zhao Qing: “What if there is? Did he give you any trouble? Or did he troubled our Zhao family? What does this have to do with us?”

“But…” Zhao Qi was stunned, his expression dazed.

Zhao Qing sighed and patted his face, “Look at you. You always think about what other people do. You are not living well yourself.”

After the call, Su Ling said to Gu Liheng, “It has nothing to do with the military department, no need to call someone.”

Gu Liheng nodded, his gaze fell on his face with a focused look, so Su Ling touched his face and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“I remember,” Gu Liheng paused, “When we first met, you asked if I knew Zhao Qi.”

Su Ling immediately remembered the same scene. That was when he saw Gu Liheng signing his name on the contract. He was so surprised because Gu Liheng has the same name as his male god in the novel. Caught off guard and also wanted to confirm male god’s identity, he blurted out that question.

“En, I did,” he lightly squeezed his fingers, “I have a bad relationship with him, and you rich families always know each other, so I’m afraid that you have a good relationship with him.”

Gu Liheng: “It’s no wonder you breathed a sigh of relief at the time,” his jaw stretched slightly. “You had a bad relationship because both of you liked Xiào Rui?”

Su Ling’s eyes widened, “You acted so serious just to ask this question?” He was shocked by his expression earlier, thinking that male god is doubting his identity. Turns out he was only jealous!

Gu Liheng hugged him, “Sorry, I won’t ask, don’t be angry. I just regret that I didn’t know you earlier. I want to have more of you, including your first relationship.” He hoped that all of the young man’s life experiences belonged to him.

As soon as Gu Liheng said that, the body’s owner’s confession cards appeared in Su Ling’s mind. He was very helpless about this because he couldn’t refute this matter, nor could he deny the feelings of the other Su Ling. Regardless, Su Ling kissed Gu Liheng on his cheek, “I’m not angry. But if you really did question my feelings, I will be angrier than this.”

“No!” Gu Liheng let go of Su Ling and looked at him very seriously, “Absolutely not. No Alpha is luckier than me, to be able to feel deeply loved.” The young man’s feelings were straightforward and passionate, and he loves it to his bones.

Su Ling’s eyes curved up, and he threw himself on his male god. Then he placed his hand on his shoulder, “This is the best compliment I’ve heard. I’m a super qualified boyfriend, right?”

“You are.” Gu Liheng rubbed his head, “I’m not good enough.”

Su Ling poked him in the face and laughed, “No, you are fine. You have to trust my eyes.”

A smile appeared in Gu Liheng’s eyes, and the corners of his mouth were raised slightly. Su Ling leaned closer to tell him, “You smiled.”

Gu Liheng was stunned to hear that, then he smiled deeper, “I’m very happy.”

Su Ling was happy as well, “When the research is over, can I go to see your doctor with you?”

“Alright.” Gu Liheng nodded.

After the two of them had breakfast, Su Ling received a call from the director of the Imperial Science program again. He said, “Xian Mo Yu has always only existed in the legend. I hope you and the spiritual plant can be on our show and let the audience know more about Xian Mo Yu.”

Su Ling knows very well that the main character is Xian Mo Yu, and he is just a passerby, so he replied, “Grade S spiritual plant has its own thoughts. I have to ask its opinions before giving you an answer.”

“Alright, and the appearance fee is open for discussion. Please give me a reply if you have the decision. If you can join us, I will have to schedule your show so that it can go on air as soon as possible.”

Su Ling: “Okay.”

He explained the situation to Gu Liheng, and the two went to the spiritual plant room. Su Ling lightly squeezed the root that came to entangle his hand and told it about the program, “Are you interested?”

Xian Mo Yu didn’t reply right away but showed a close-up picture in his mind: a star coin symbol.

Su Ling: “…There is an appearance fee, which should not be low.”

“Hahaha~” Xian Mo Yu’s roots rubbed against Lóng Mo Téng as it communicated with its little friend, “I can make money and raise my son!”

Lóng Mo Téng: “Idiot! Didn’t you give him your poison and let him sell it?”

Xian Mo Yu made a big crying expression, “It is illegal to murder, and the poison does not worth any money. I give it to my son every day. I found out a few days ago that he had saved it and didn’t sell any[1].”

“Stop your worthless crying,” Lóng Mo Téng, “just go on the show and earn money ba.”

The roots standing next to Su Ling moved up and down.

After Su Ling hugged Lóng Mo Téng, its softened leaves rubbed against his palm, then stopped moving. Su Ling turned to ask Xian Mo Yu, “It is not going into the space storage with you?”

The roots nodded, so Su Ling let Lóng Mo Téng stay on his wrist and put Xian Mo Yu in the storage.

Gu Liheng stared at Su Ling’s left wrist for 2 seconds. Then he held onto his(SL) right hand and enveloped it firmly with his hand.

Throwing a glance at his male god, Su Ling only raised an eyebrow and smiled, letting him(GLH) lead him forward. He said to Ye Lei, “We can go now.” Holding hands with male god, he followed Ye Lei out of the spiritual plant room and took a car from the dormitory’s back door. After driving for about 20 minutes, the car stopped at the edge of a valley. Bird chirpings and animal roars could be heard faintly from the depths of the valley. Su Ling lowered the car window and looked out the window. On the north side of the valley is a large forest, and the end is rolling mountains.

Ye Lei shared the holographic screen from his bracelet. The screen was divided into 9 boxes, which are surveillance videos from all over the valley. The field of vision is very wide, so the terrain where the surveillance equipment is placed should be relatively high. He asked the team’s Boss[1] at the driver’s seat, “These are the preparations you made yesterday?”

The team’s Boss nodded and replied, “En.”

Ye Lei turned to look at Su Ling, “Can you put Xian Mo Yu here and let it go in by itself? Or do you need Boss and his team to escort you in?”

Su Ling: “I’ll ask it, but it should be fine on its own.”

Ye Lei: “Okay, in order to ensure the whole process is monitored, we will put two micro-monitors on its petals. Would you please discuss with Xian Mo Yu if it’s alright?”

Nodding, Su Ling got out of the car and let Xian Mo Yu out. As soon as it is out, some of its roots rushed towards the valley. Su Ling told Xian Mo Yu about the arrangement. When it heard that the monitors are for Ye Lei and the others to see its heroic hunting postures, it agreed without hesitation.

The team’s Boss demonstrated how to install the monitors, and Su Ling helped place 2 soybean-sized monitors on Xian Mo Yu’s petals. After setting it up, he touched the petals and said, “Just spent 3 days in the forest like how you did before. We will be looking at you through the monitors.”

The roots wrapped around his wrist and rubbed against Lóng Mo Téng, who was pretending to be dead. Su Ling laughed, “It will watch the monitors together with us.”

Xian Mo Yu retracted its roots and moved towards the valley. About 10 meters away from where the car stopped, the ground under the flower bud sunken, and it disappeared from the ground.

Ye Lei hurriedly called up the monitor on the petals, but it was dark all around. Only the sounds made by the roots when it hit the ground or wall could be heard.

“Isn’t it too corrosive?” Old Third in another car sighed.

This sigh reached its peak on the second day of surveillance.

The night before, Xian Mo Yu made an underground tunnel all the way to the middle of the valley. After appearing on the ground, it emitted a stench and scared off all the animals around it. Then it folded its petals to sleep. At noon, it opened its petals and shimmered in the sun. Many animals were attracted by its fragrance and approached Xian Mo Yu, so the area became quite lively.

On the other hand, its roots stretched around to search for food. When it discovered a huge beast, its roots will gather up to pinpoint the location. Then it will change its smell, causing the surrounding animals to run away again. It took the opportunity to entangle the beast; the top of the roots opened up and sprayed black liquid. In less than half a minute, the huge beast completely melted into a puddle and was absorbed by the roots.

The breeze blows, the luscious green grass sway, and the flowers next to it are blooming prettily as if nothing happened.

Except for Su Ling and Gu Liheng, the people in front of the holographic screen didn’t look very good. Su Ling has seen the process several times, so he could remain calm. As for Gu Liheng, he is always calm. Ye Lei stroked his stomach, his face turned pale, “How terrifying. Fortunately, spiritual plants won’t attack humans for no reason.”

The team’s Boss nodded in agreement.

In 3 days, Xian Mo Yu hunted 3 times, and each time it’s killing was immaculate and tidy. The last 2 times, it didn’t use its smell but stayed hidden after finding the target. Then it simply entangled the prey and pulled it to its flower stamen to melt and absorb. When Xian Mo Yu is not hunting, it always moves around and occasionally uses its roots to tease animals and butterflies. More than often, it will just sway its roots to entertain itself or try to communicate with the low-level spiritual plants in the valley. Overall, it was a leisurely life for Xian Mo Yu since it has no rivals/predators in the valley.

3 days later, at 5.00 pm, Su Ling informed Xian Mo Yu that the time is up through a communication device. Very quickly, it returned to the parking place. As soon as Xian Mo Yu saw Su Ling, its roots entangled him and gave him a hug. At the same time, a root went to his wrist to greet its friend.

“Hahaha, do I look super handsome during hunting?”

Lóng Mo Téng: “Heh, you have no sense of beauty at all.”

Su Ling touched the roots and felt that it is slightly cool as usual. Then he looked at his palms before breathing out a sigh of relief, very clean. Xian Mo Yu’s hunting process was too cruel to watch, and the way it moved around was kind of strange. That’s why he was worried about the hygiene of the roots. Now it seems that its self-cleaning ability is super strong.

Beside Su Ling, Gu Liheng frowned slightly. He pinched the roots on Su Ling’s shoulders and said, “Let go of him.”

Xian Mo Yu complained to its little friend again, “Look at my daughter-in-law, that’s too much! I haven’t seen my son for 3 days! What’s wrong hugging with my son?!”

Lóng Mo Téng: “Stop your stupid complaining. I already said it, the keyword is possessive, understand?”

The tip of a root bends forward and gently smacked the back of Gu Liheng’s hand to express its dissatisfaction. Then it released Su Ling.

Gu Liheng didn’t care about that little strength; he swiftly pulled Su Ling to his embrace.

An angry emoticon with raised eyebrows appeared in Su Ling’s mind. It makes him really wanted to laugh out helplessly. He lightly squeezed the root on his wrist and said, “Don’t be angry. You are great these days!” The roots beside him swayed around and immediately became happy again.

That makes Gu Liheng stared thoughtfully at the roots.

Ye Lei: “We will start to study the details tomorrow, mainly to test the effect of its fragrance. We found 10 pairs of AO with a compatibility rate from 10 to 100. But just in case, we will need you to work hard tomorrow to follow up with the whole process.”

Su Ling: “No problem.”

Back in the dormitory, Su Ling put Xian Mo Yu into the spiritual plant room. Lóng Mo Téng quickly left his hand and return to disguise as Xian Mo Yu’s leaves. Xian Mo Yu’s roots went to soak in the nutrient solution, and it was delighted.

Su Ling smiled upon seeing this. He went to dinner with Gu Liheng and return to their bedroom after a walk. Sitting on the sofa, he put his hand on Gu Liheng’s shoulder and looked at him closely, “What are you thinking about?” He tilted his head, “You have been thinking about something since Xian Mo Yu returned from the valley.”

Gu Liheng grabbed Su Ling’s hand with a serious expression, “I’m thinking about the feasibility of Alpha communicating with spiritual plants? Mainly Grade S spiritual plants.”

Su Ling blinked and laughed, “Could it be you really felt jealous of Xian Mo Yu?”

“Yes.” Gu Liheng honestly replied, “I don’t know what it said to you, and I don’t like this feeling.”

Su Ling: “In fact, I can’t fully understand what it really said. It communicates with me through sharing the images it experienced and drawing simple strokes. I can determine its meaning through emotional changes and inquiries.”

He thought for a while and added, “Grade S spiritual plant can understand what we are saying. So, if we want to communicate with them, it’s fine to just understand what they want to convey.”

Gu Liheng pondered, “When it conveys information, there should be energy fluctuations. Maybe by capturing the fluctuations, we can find patterns and translate them into understandable meanings. Just like understanding a new language and then turning it into a common language.”

Su Ling understood the basics, but he couldn’t think of how to achieve each step, “Isn’t it difficult?”

Gu Liheng replied with seriousness, “Not necessarily. We can only know if it really works by setting up a research team to study the feasibility.”

Since Gu Liheng had an idea in mind, he contacted his people right away and set up a research team.

As Gu Liheng is talking to his people, Su Ling’s bracelet rang. There’s a call from an unknown number, which starts with 0. Su Ling was a little surprised because the number that starts with 0 is used by people from senior management of Planet Belle. He subconsciously sat upright and connected the call, “Hello.”

“Hello.”

The other party’s voice was very straightforward, speaking in simple words but decisive. However, the speaker’s tone sounded weak, “I am Manton, sorry for the interruption.”

Su Ling quickly said, “It’s no bother at all. It’s great to know that you are fine.”

“Thank you very much, so I wanted to call you to express my gratitude.” Manton paused, his voice deep as he added, “I haven’t been so relaxed in many years.”

“You’re welcome. I’m just cooperating with the military.” Su Ling was a little embarrassed by the gratitude. Moreover, the raw materials were not provided for free.

Manton: “It was precisely when I heard about your cooperation with the military that I decided to express my gratitude, also for the sake of my colleagues in the military.”

Su Ling: “I feel a bit embarrassed.”

“No need to feel embarrassed. On the other hand, there is one thing that I would like to ask for your consent,” Manton said. “I hope to announce to the public about Xian Mo Yu’s black liquid and that it can cure the damages caused by dark matter and particle diffusion.”

“This is of great significance to the stability of the military. Many outstanding soldiers have retired because of this illness and are still suffering so far. This is hope for everyone out there.”

“Of course, the military will guarantee the safety of you and Xian Mo Yu.”

Su Ling thought for a while and said, “You can announce the news, but I don’t need a guard. Plus, I’m afraid my Alpha can’t stand it either.”

Manton: “I see. Then please tell me the places you usually go in your daily activities. We can increase our vigilance in these areas so that we can support in time in case you are in any danger.”

Su Ling: “Isn’t this a bit too exaggerated?”

“It is not an exaggeration. Xian Mo Yu’s black liquid is currently the only effective treatment method for the entire interstellar. The research institute is currently studying how to produce the black liquid artificially, but it is difficult to study it quickly and produce successful products right away.”

“You have to know that the entire galaxy is still trying to develop effective medicine, and Xian Mo Yu’s black liquid can be our reference.”

Su Ling rubbed his forehead, “I suddenly felt stressed.”

Manton: “Young man, just relax and leave the security to the Capital. You only need to take care of Xian Mo Yu.”

Su Ling smiled and said, “Okay.”

Manton: “Sorry, my doctor reminded me that the time limit to call is up. The Minister of the Imperial Security Department will contact you. Please don’t hide any information and tell him the scope of your daily activities. Also, if you have any plans for a long trip, please tell him in advance.”

Su Ling: “Alright.”

After hanging up the call, the Minister of Security soon contacted Su Ling. He listed male god’s villa and the fragrance bar as frequent places and informed the minister of his current location. He hung up the call and told Gu Liheng what happened. Leaning on Gu Liheng’s shoulder, he sighed, “Felt surreal.”

He actually received a call from 2 big shots in a row!

Gu Liheng rubbed his hair and praised, “You are great.”

Su Ling: “Actually, I felt unsettled. This has nothing to do with me. It’s all because of Xian Mo Yu.”

“Of course it has something to do with you. You found Xian Mo Yu. It is close to you because you have something in your body that attracted it. And because of that, your pheromones have been abnormal for 18 years,” Gu Liheng said with pity, “You are strong.”

Su Ling looked down; his mood became complicated. All the pain in 18 years was experienced by this body’s owner, not him. However, he soon makes up his mind. The other Su Ling chose to commit suicide and is already dead; he is himself, not other people! He does feel distressed for what happened to him(the body’s owner), but he is grateful to him for giving him(SL) a new life in his body and mind. He hoped that the owner of this body will also have a happy new life.

“What’s the matter?” Gu Liheng noticed Su Ling’s emotional change and looked at him.

Su Ling smiled, “It’s okay.”

The next morning, the entire Planet Belle has burst into commotions.

Su Ling received a call from Nalu early in the morning.

Nalu: “Xiao Ling, you are famous!”

Su Ling ruffled his hair and asked, “What’s the matter?” But he quickly understood. Looking at the time, he saw that it’s only 7.00 am. “They announced the news so soon?”

Nalu: “My contact page almost gets server error from the traffic. Remember to wear a mask and sunglasses when you go out!”

Su Ling: “Okay. Uncle Nalu, how is the renovation for the fragrance bar going on?”

Nalu: “According to the original plan, the renovation should be completed in a week. But now, it may have to be postponed. I dare not go to the site. The foreman told me that many people are waiting to ask me where you are.”

Su Ling: “If those people affect the process of the renovation, just call the security team to handle it.”

After the call with Nalu ended, Su Ling lay down and wanted to nap for a while. Unfortunately, his bracelet rang again.

“Hello, I’m the director of the Imperial Science channel. Is it a convenient time to talk?”

Su Ling: “…Can you wait a bit and call back later? At 8.00 am ba.”

[1] I hope it’s not confusing for y’all. This Boss is the leader of the Alpha soldiers in the researcher team. None of them were given names so it’s kinda hard for me _(;3/ So far, only Boss and Old Third got mentioned specifically.

Sorry for the late kofi update. Many thanks to Lan for the kofi (0w0)/ The sponsored chapter will be out as soon as possible >w<

People in Planet Belle could finally relax because Marshal Manton has escaped danger, but the atmosphere in the Gu mansion’s living room was very stiff.

Mother Gu is wearing a black and white plaid skirt; her hair is curled up, looking beautiful and capable. There is a gentle smile on her face, just that the smile did not reach her eyes. Her gaze fell on the face of the handsome-looking man sitting on the opposite side as she spoke unhurriedly.

“Gu An, you don’t need to be nervous. You also know that auntie has been ill for many years, and couldn’t remember some things very clearly. That’s why I asked you to come so you can help me to recall what happened before your uncle’s accident.”

Both Gu An and Gu Liheng’s grandfather are brothers. Gu An is only 2 years younger than Gu Liheng, but because of his delicate appearance, Gu An looked younger and smaller. Gu An put his hands on his knees, gripping hard. His fingertips were white, and he smiled apologetically, “Auntie, I did think about it carefully, but I really can’t remember. I was only 6 years old when uncle had an accident.” He paused, “I only remember that my father was very sad when he got the news.”

Mother Gu looked away from his face and sighed sadly, “My bad, I didn’t think of that. I should ask your father about this matter instead. But I heard that he is on a business trip to Planet Klai recently, so I went to you.”

Gu An’s eyes shifted slightly, “Brother may have an impression?”

“Ah Heng? I asked him before, but I want to know more about your uncle.” Tears flashed in Mother Gu’s eyes.

Gu An warmly advised, “Auntie, don’t be sad. Uncle is looking down from Heaven, and he definitely won’t want to see you sad.”

Wiping the corners of her eyes, Mother Gu said, “This child, you are more caring than Ah Heng. How about staying for dinner tonight?”

“I can’t,” Gu An declined, standing up and saying, “I haven’t finished my work yet. Auntie, I’m leaving.”

Mother Gu got up and saw him off, “I’m sorry for delaying your work.”

“It’s alright, Auntie.”

After Gu An left, Mother Gu sat back on the sofa again, with no smile on her face. 2 members in black uniforms of the Snow Leopard team came out of the room on the right.

Mother Gu asked, “How is it?”

“He has a system installed in his car that prevents monitoring and listening. There is no way to track him, but we have our men following him now.”

Mother Gu nodded, “Did you collect all the data back then?”

“Yes,” one person replied, passing the information to Mother Gu, “From the traces found at the scene, it was an accident caused by the sudden appearance of a space beast.”

Mother Gu looked through the information and asked, “Based on your analysis, if the two spacecraft collided in that situation, could anyone survive?”

“No, unless preparations are made in advance. According to the data, no one survived. The captain and crew on the other spacecraft died.”

Mother Gu pondered, “It is strange that a space beast would suddenly appear. The route has always been very safe, and…Ah Heng’s uncle was a bit too concerned about Ah Heng’s father’s itinerary at the time.” With a ruthless tone, she added, “If he really did it, I will never let him go! Of course, I won’t wrong him if he’s clean. Keep an eye on Gu An. Since I called him over today, there might be some small movements if the accident is really related to them.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Gu An got in the car with dark eyes. He tapped his bracelet and checked the system’s operation log of the car. At the same time, he asked the driver, “Did someone talked to you just now?”

“How do you know, Young master?” The driver was a little surprised but soon realized something. Lowering his voice, he asked, “The lady wants to take action on Young master?”

Gu An looked at the system log and was very satisfied. The corners of his mouth rose up to a sneer, and his usual well-behaved appearance was quite different. He said, “There should be some misunderstanding.”

When he returned home, he went directly to the study and dialed his father Gu Ming’s number, “Father.” Then he told his father about Mother Gu.

Gu Ming immediately asked, “Do they manage to get anything from you?”

“No, I have a full set of equipment in the car, and I am usually cautious.”

Gu Ming applauded his son and reminded him, “Just act normal and go on with your business as usual. It has been so many years now, it is impossible for her to find out what happened. She is bluffing you.”

Gu An was a little worried, “Father, is that person really dead?”

“Very possible. Because if he is still alive, there is no reason not to touch his own money in his bank account.” Gu Ming said with regret, “It’s a pity. I will feel more at ease to watch him die with my own eyes.”

Gu An was relieved, “Is Father’s work going well?”

“Very smoothly. By the way, have you found the reason for Gu Liheng’s three-month holiday?” Gu Ming asked.

Gu An: “I can only investigate that he has seen a psychologist during the vacation, but not sure what is the specific situation.”

Gu Ming was a little surprised to hear that, “A psychologist?” He snorted coldly, “I didn’t expect that a freak like him would still need a psychologist.” He will never forget how a 10-years-old Gu Liheng managed to unnerve him. This is a great shame to him.

Gu An: “I have consulted someone about the possibility. Someone who looked strong on the outside like him maybe fragile in his heart. His father died young, and his mother was hospitalized for a long time because of the rejection illness. These experiences are likely to be trauma left in his heart.”

“This is excellent news,” Gu Ming thought for a moment. “Try to inquire about the specific situation. Didn’t someone with a similar condition went crazy from excessive stimulation before? Find a way to make his condition worsen that could ruin him completely.”

Gu An: “I have a good suggestion. He has an Omega now.”

“Really?” Gu Ming was surprised and then laughed, “Great, he is seeking his own doom! Which family’s Omega?”

“Just an abandoned son from the Su Family. Father, you don’t have to worry.”

Gu Ming: “Then you figure it out.”

“Yes, Father.”

At 5.30pm, Su Ling, Gu Liheng, and the researcher group had dinner together before going to the spiritual plant room.

Xian Mo Yu’s roots were drinking the nutrient solution happily, while Lóng Mo Téng stayed motionless on its petals as if it really growing together with the petals instead of a separate spiritual plant.

Su Ling approached Xian Mo Yu and told it about their next arrangement, “It’s time to change places. You can’t drink the nutrient solution for the next 3 days, so you will have to hunt for food yourself.”

Upon hearing that, Xian Mo Yu’s petals drooped down, and its roots wrapped around the nutrient solution’s container, expressing that it is unwilling to give up the nutrient solution.

Su Ling smiled and reached out to touch its petals, “I know you are super amazing, so you should let other people see how amazing you are! They will definitely be shocked.”

Xian Mo Yu’s roots loosened, and one root rose in front of him, moving up and down.

Su Ling’s eyes curved into a smile, thinking that compliments are really useful. He said, “Then I’ll put you in the space storage now.”

Xian Mo Yu’s roots nodded again.

Hearing this, Lóng Mo Téng, who had been staying motionless, suddenly broke away from circling Xian Mo Yu’s petals and then moved swiftly to Su Ling’s hand. In the process, it shrank itself quickly and flexibly circled 3 times around Su Ling’s left wrist.

Su Ling looked down and saw that Lóng Mo Téng’s original emerald green leaves have become almost black. At first glance, they looked like a bracelet. The ‘bracelet’ was quite unique. The black ‘strap’ was decorated with black three-lobed leaves. The leaves are small, and the tip is very sharp. It gleamed in black light, which looks incredibly sharp.

“Whoa, why has it become so small?” Old Third asked in surprise.

Ye Lei made a record of his observation, “It should be a kind of camouflage ability.”

A flash of warmth could be felt on Su Ling’s wrist where the leaves were. He rubbed his hand casually and was stunned when he touched Lóng Mo Téng. He observed carefully and found that Lóng Mo Téng’s black stem looked like grown from his hand. His scalp instantly felt numb but rubbing his hands, Su Ling can see that Lóng Mo Téng steadily rests on his hand, and he doesn’t feel anything except the warmth he felt on his skin earlier.

“You, you…” He took a deep breath, “Can you go down?”

Xian Mo Yu’s roots immediately stood up, and one of the roots bent to flick Su Ling’s forehead. His son is too naive. How can he reject such good bodyguard! Then it turned to communicate with its little friend, “My son was joking; I have already taught him a lesson!” Next, it made a tearful expression, “If only I can shrink myself as well… Then I don’t need to stay in the space storage, and I can protect my son at any time.”

Lóng Mo Téng: “Stop with your stupid crying. He won’t be in any danger with me here.”

“It’s really great to see you again!” The roots wrapped around Su Ling’s wrist and rubbed against Lóng Mo Téng.

Lóng Mo Téng’s leaves became erected, and the tips jabbed at the roots. The roots shook, loosened quickly, and only swayed around at the side.

Su Ling: “…” His terrified emotion suddenly dissipated a lot.

A gentle and soothing feeling washed over Su Ling, and Lóng Mo Téng’s leaves were shimmering with a faint fragrance. Su Ling quickly understood that the vine is expressing its friendliness to him. Immediately afterward, Lóng Mo Téng loosened up.  Both ends of its vine are connected together to form a circle. Su Ling rubbed his wrist and was relieved to see no traces on it.

The next moment, Lóng Mo Téng once again disguised as a bracelet. In Su Ling’s mind, he saw a picture of 2 stick figures: an adult hugging a child. Su Ling looked at Lóng Mo Téng, who had become the size of a bracelet, thinking that his behavior just now made it feel sad, and it is asking for comfort. After a moment of thinking, he placed his palm on his wrist and hugged Lóng Mo Téng.

Chapter 54 – Lóng Mo Téng [OW]

Please don’t retranslate from my English version and don’t repost in Wattpad for your ‘offline’ reading pleasure.

Su Ling glanced over the leaf, it was smooth to the touch, and the color was vibrant emerald green, exuding a light fragrance. It has the same scent as the vine that was violently beating up the root. However, he soon felt that the scent gave him the same feeling as Xian Mo Yu. But he knew very well that both scents smell entirely different.

The fight ended with the roots apologizing. Then the roots and vines stretched out in front of Su Ling, and the roots even swayed around. Their action confused Su Ling. Next, Xian Mo Yu shared a scene in his mind: a scene of human elders giving gifts to juniors. Looking at the big leaf in his hand, Su Ling suddenly realized what it meant. This is a gift from the vine! He looked at the vine and said, “Thank you.”

Thinking that spiritual plants like to touch him, Su Ling stretched out his hand and gently squeezed the top of the vine to show his gratitude. The vine naturally entangled around his fingers. On the other hand, the roots twisted happily, “Hahaha, my son is so cute, right?”

The vine let go of Su Ling’s finger, “Stop your silly behavior. His cuteness has nothing to do with you.” It retracted its leaves and formed a complete circle again on top of Xian Mo Yu, disguised as a part of the big flower. A root clung to the vine and exuded a strong fragrance, while the vine’s leaves emitted a slight green light and used its sharp tips to jab the root. However, the root was motionless, still sticking to the vines intimately.

Looking at the leaf in his hand, Su Ling gently squeezed the root around his wrist and asked, “Is this your friend?”

The roots that were erected on the side moved up and down and continued to twist happily; Xian Mo Yu was obviously feeling happy. Su Ling thought for a while and put the leaf in his backpack. Then he looked at the vines and asked in a low voice, “Is it also a Grade S spiritual plant?”

The roots continued to nod, and Su Ling was once again showed a mental image of a simple stroke of a mouth with a big cross drawn on it.

“You don’t want other people to know about it?” he asked.

The roots continued to nod, and Su Ling looked around, “That’s kind of hard because there are surveillance cameras everywhere here.”

The mental image remained in his mind.

Su Ling smiled: “Alright then, even if other people managed to guess it, I won’t say anything.”

A root rushed in front of him and rubbed against his cheeks. Su Ling only felt a cool touch before he got suddenly pulled into Gu Liheng’s embrace. Su Ling raised his eyebrows and looked up to see Gu Liheng frowning and glaring at the root.

Gu Liheng warned with a low tone, “Don’t touch him.” As he said that, his fingers rubbed Su Ling’s cheek at the place where the root has just touched.

The root stiffened and didn’t move for a while.

Su Ling blinked and held Gu Liheng’s hand, “You…”

He had just opened his mouth to say something when a black shadow suddenly rushed over and entangled his other wrist, so now both his hands are wrapped around by a root. The next moment, a strong pull tried to pull him out of male god’s arms, but at the same time, his waist was tightly wrapped by the other person. Forced to raise his hand, Su Ling felt that he looked very silly right now, but fortunately, the roots didn’t use much strength. Otherwise, the result won’t be just him raising his hand.

Su Ling grabbed the roots and said helplessly, “Don’t pull.” Then he tilted his head and headbutt the person behind him at the shoulder, adding, “You too, lighten your hold.”

The force on his hands and waist lightened up at the same time.

Su Ling moved his wrists up and down and said, “Let go.” However, his mind was suddenly filled with a big crying emoticon (TwT).

Xian Mo Yu cried to its little partner sadly, “My son doesn’t want me anymore. My daughter-in-law[1] is so bad. What’s wrong with me touching my son? Terrible!”

Lóng Mo Téng: “So stupid. Human Alpha is super possessive after marking their Omega, understand? Still don’t let go? Are you going to split your son into half?”

Xian Mo Yu: “I won’t hurt him, and I have proper control of my strength.”

Su Ling didn’t know about the conversation between the two plants. So he was dumbfounded by the tearful expression in his head. He lightly pinched the root and comforted, “Don’t cry. It’s not like you can’t wrap around my hand in the future. Did you forget? You are still helping out with the research, and I still have something to do.”

The roots let go of him and rubbed the back of his hand before retracting back to the vine’s side.

At the other side, Su Ling grabbed the hand around his waist and tilted his head. Then he asked with a smile, “Did you get jealous just now?”

Gu Liheng flipped the hand and covered it with his hand. He lowered his head and kissed Su Ling’s forehead, “You are mine.”

“But you can’t be jealous of Xian Mo Yu?” Su Ling was amused.

Gu Liheng stared intently at Su Ling and said, “I have restrained myself already. I didn’t make a fuss about it tied around your wrist.”

Hearing that make Su Ling raised his eyebrows. Is this the so-called Alpha’s possessiveness? His eyes curved yup, and he used his fingers to draw on Gu Liheng’s palm, “En, I’m yours. See, you are holding me in your arms.”

Gu Liheng’s expression relaxed, and his hands tightened his hold.

“Su Ling,” Ye Lei shouted at the door. He looked inside and tried to put one foot in. Seeing that no roots were blocking him, he immediately walked in and asked, “Do you know what’s going on? I was stopped by Xian Mo Yu when I want to come in earlier.”

Su Ling promised Xian Mo Yu that he won’t tell other people, so he lied, “I don’t know, but it should be fine. It looked very happy.”

Ye Lei looked at Xian Mo Yu and the vines on it in confusion.

At this moment, Director Li’s voice could be heard approaching, “Did something happen last night?” Just as she finished her words, Director Li walked in.

Ye Lei glanced at Su Ling and said, “Doctor Ni An and the military were here yesterday.”

“I know this,” Director Li said and continued, “it has been reported in the news, and netizens are all guessing whether the association has discovered any rare spiritual plant.” She shrugged, “I’m talking about another thing. It’s the big tree in front of the office building, isn’t there always parasitic vines on top? The vines are gone this morning. Since you guys stayed here last night, you might know what’s going on?”

Ye Lei has been working in the association for several years and is very familiar with the big tree. He was taken aback when he heard the words, “Gone?”

Director Li nodded, “This is really weird. It’s like it just vanished into thin air. Such a large vine and it has been on the tree for more than ten years. Now it simply disappears without a sign.”

“Also, it’s not any precious species of plant. The association has them everywhere, so even if someone wants it, they won’t waste energy to get to the top of the big tree just for the vines. The strangest thing is that there is no trace of human activity.”

Su Ling heard this and immediately understood. The vines on Xian Mo Yu’s petals should be the vines at the top of the big tree. That’s why Xian Mo Yu kept wanting to go there last night. In the mental pictures Xian Mo Yu shared with him, all the vines and grasses are probably the same plant. From that point, he guessed that the vine has a very powerful ability: camouflage.

Ye Lei pondered, “If you are asking for anything special happened last time, there’s one. Xian Mo Yu wanted to go out last night, and went to the empty space in front of the main building, which is near the big tree.” He looked at Su Ling for a moment, then immediately looked at Xian Mo Yu and pointed at the vines on top of it, “This morning, this suddenly appeared on its petals.”

Director Li took two steps forward and looked at the vines, “Oh my God, did the vines on the big tree went to parasitize Xian Mo Yu instead?”

Ye Lei compared the vines in his mind and said, “But their appearance is completely different.”

“Different appearance…” Director Li murmured and repeated, walking back and forth several times. Then she suddenly stopped in her track and looking at the vine with excitement, “Could it be?!” As she spoke, she quickly tapped her bracelet to search for information.

Su Ling shrugged. He thought the vine will get discovered because of the surveillance camera. He didn’t expect that someone can guess what’s wrong without even checking the surveillance. But he was not too surprised. After all, this is the spiritual plant registration association. Almost all the people who know spiritual plants best are here. On the other hand, he is quite curious too, and he wanted to look up the types of vines later online, but now it doesn’t seem necessary.

“Lóng Mo Téng!” Director Li looked away from the holographic screen and stared at the vines, “It must be Grade S spiritual plant Lóng Mo Téng!”

“Possessing a powerful ability for disguise and assimilation capabilities, it is the most difficult Grade S spiritual plant to be found. In the spiritual plant’s legends, Lóng Mo Téng has the most image collection, but no one can be sure what it really looks like.”

When Xian Mo Yu heard its little friend being praised, its roots rose up and swayed around in a dance, “How amazing! You have disappeared for so long, and yet the human beings still heard of your legend!”

Lóng Mo Téng: “What stupid thing are you talking about? I am your leaf!”

Xian Mo Yu’s roots wrapped around the leaves, “You have been found out; just admit it boldly.”

Lóng Mo Téng pretended to be dead and gave no reaction at all.

Su Ling thought of the leaf he had put in his bag and looked at Lóng Mo Téng. He guesses that right now should be its original appearance, just that it is much smaller than usual.

Director Li was very excited, “Amazing! Su Ling, is it yours too?”

Su Ling shook his head, “No, I didn’t know it is Lóng Mo Téng.”

Director Li: “Not sure if we can try to communicate with it, and let us study it.”

As Director Li said that, her eyes swept across the few people in the room. Then she took off her isolator directly. The only Alpha in the room has marked an Omega, so there was no need to worry. She released her pheromone and tried to contact Lóng Mo Téng.

Lóng Mo Téng acted like it’s dead and did not respond at all.

After ten minutes, Director Li gave up and let Ye Lei try, but Ye Lei failed as well. Then Director Li said to Su Ling, “You try it,” she looked at Gu Liheng and asked, “President Gu, do you want to leave first?”

Gu Liheng shook his head, “No need.”

Ye Lei: “Xian Mo Yu’s fragrance is strong, so it should be fine.”

Director Li remembered reading about the effect of Xian Mo Yu’s fragrance from the report she received yesterday and nodded, “Well, Xiao Ling, you can try it.”

Su Ling could not find a suitable reason to refuse. However, thinking that since Lóng Mo Téng is not reacting to anyone, it might ignore him too. He removed the isolator and controlled his pheromone to gather near the vine. Soon, he felt a gentle feeling that Lóng Mo Téng passed to him, like a kind elder. Then, a huge picture of his mouth with a cross appeared in his mind.

Does all Grade S spiritual plant express their thoughts in the same way?

Su Ling felt a bit helpless because this kind of behavior is ultimately self-deception. But he reattached his isolator and shook his head after a moment of hesitation.

Director Li touched her chin, “There is no way then. But it is following Xian Mo Yu, and will reveal its habits, just pay attention to it.”

Ye Lei nodded, and Director Li said, “I’ll deal with the follow-up work regarding the vine’s disappearance.”

Soon after Director Li left, Boss and his four team members came back. But their expression looked ugly and seemed heavy with thoughts.

Ye Lei: “Is the venue not set up?”

Boss: “It’s set up. It can be used tonight.”

“Then why do you guys look like this?” Ye Lei was puzzled.

Old Third solemnly replied, “Just now, the Imperial Military Hospital issued a notice that Marshal Manton is critically ill.”

Hearing that, Ye Lei’s eyes widened, and his expression turned sad. It took him a while to stabilize his emotions before saying, “Transfer Xian Mo Yu at 6.00pm. Then we will continue to observe it.” He turned to Su Ling, “You can go rest for a while because you may have to sleep late at night.”

Su Ling returned to his room and immediately inquired about Marshal Manton.

Gu Liheng glanced at his holographic screen and gave him some common knowledge about the marshal, “Marshal Manton is the former marshal, the grandfather of the current marshal. He was seriously injured on the front line 15 years ago and retired due to a serious illness 5 years ago. He has excellent combat exploits and a high reputation in Planet Belle.”

“A very respectable soldier.”

This national idol is lying on the hospital bed at the moment. Doctor Ni An was escorted to the ward by a team of guards, sweating profusely. The attending doctor in the ward saw him and said with moist eyes, “Old man, you are finally here.”

Ni An handed him the medicine box in his hand, “You can use it directly.”

After handing the medicine box, Ni An’s body swayed and was supported by the guard behind him. Hence, he was sent to the restroom. Ni An did not refuse; processing Xian Mo Yu’s raw materials overnight took him too much energy.

Xian Mo Yu’s black liquid is too corrosive and cannot be used directly. A little carelessness may bring disaster to the patient. The red and black liquid can only be used after undergoing special processes. The process was very delicate and should be done during the day when one is full of energy. But after getting the raw materials last night, he received news that Marshal Manton’s condition had deteriorated, so Ni An could only bear with it and processed the raw material overnight.

He is the only person who has thoroughly studied Xian Mo Yu’s black liquid. Hence, he can only rely on himself for the whole process. After the matter is finished, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t muster any more energy.

The entire citizen in Planet Belle was in heavy feelings regarding the news about Marshal Manton’s critical illness until the notice of him getting over the danger phase is officially announced at 4.00 pm.

People all around the planet burst into celebrations.

Chapter 53 – Gift [OW]

Please don’t retranslate from my English version and don’t repost in Wattpad for your ‘offline’ reading pleasure.
Random – This is a short chapter yo. And unfortunately for those who wanted smexy time, the author decided to river crab it to the extreme _(;3/

Gu Liheng stopped his motion to get up, and his magnetic voice was low and steady as he said, “I won’t leave.” Then he bent over, reaching out and picked up the water glass from the bedside table, “Drink some water first.”

Su Ling obediently drank half of the water from the glass, he could feel that the heat in his body has dissipated a bit. His lips were wet, he pursed it, and chuckled softly, “I can’t control my reaction.”

Putting down the glass, Gu Liheng rubbed his fingers lightly on the back of Su Ling’s neck, his voice was hoarse as he said, “I can’t control myself either.”

The scent of their pheromones gets richer in the air. As the two pheromones are mixed together, the temperature rises rapidly, and the gasps could be heard in the room. Su Ling’s thoughts were running all over the place, and he can’t think properly. Suddenly, he felt a painful sensation from his gland, causing him to open his eyes slightly. A strong but complicated feeling rushed towards him like a tide, and his body couldn’t help but trembled.

A long time had passed before the room finally quieted down. Su Ling didn’t have much energy left, but he was in good spirits. He had never felt such enjoyment before. Lying next to him, Gu Liheng lightly rubbed his soft black hair to ease him from the afterglow. His magnetic voice was much lower than usual, “Are you okay?”

Su Ling slightly moved his palm and raised his index finger up, then put it down again, simulating a nodding action. At the same time, he answered with a soft En. However, he frowned after making the sound, realizing that his voice has become very hoarse. Thinking of what caused it, his face flushed.

Kinda embarrassed.

Gu Liheng took a glance at Su Ling’s face before turning to pour a glass of warm water with a smile in his eyes. After he drank it, he took him to the bathroom to take a bath. When they returned to the bed, Su Ling felt refreshed all over, but he didn’t have any energy left, so he fell asleep right away. Looking at Su Ling, Gu Liheng’s expression was softer than ever before. He kissed the young man’s forehead and move him into his embrace to sleep; a night without dreams.

When Gu Liheng woke up in the morning, he looked slightly startled because he hadn’t slept so well for a long time. Lowered his head slightly, he saw that the young man was lying on his side, facing him with his eyes closed. His long eyelashes were slightly upturned, and his white face was healthy and ruddy; very beautiful. The quiet and warm atmosphere made him feel warm from the inside, and he really liked this feeling. He did not make a sound, nor did he make any movements, he just watched the young man sleep. About an hour later, there was a noise coming from the door of the unit. Gu Liheng got out of bed with very light movements and opened the door.

Two of Xian Mo Yu’s roots were twisting back and forth at the door and was about to knock the door again. When the door is opened, the roots stop right in time in front of Gu Liheng. Then they twisted towards the empty space on Gu Liheng’s left hand, wanted to move into the room. Gu Liheng swiftly grabbed the roots and whispered, “He is resting.”

After Gu Liheng got out of bed, Su Ling subconsciously moved towards the area Gu Liheng previously slept on, but he couldn’t find the familiar temperature. His eyelids moved, he stretched out his hand to touch around. Didn’t find anything, Su Ling then opened his eyes. He opened his mouth trying to call for Gu Liheng but realized that he doesn’t know what to call him. ‘President Gu’ sounds too unfamiliar. ‘Mr. Gu’ felt like he is teasing him. ‘Ah Heng’ was what his mother called him, so it felt strange if he says it.

He got up from bed while thinking about random things, then his lack-of-exercise-body immediately expressed its protest against his ‘activity’ last night’. His body was so sore that he couldn’t help making a hissing sound.

He really needs to make an exercise plan.

Gu Liheng heard the sound and loosened his grip on the roots. He turned back and walked to the bed with a nervous expression, “Where do you feel uncomfortable?”

Su Ling pinched his arm and thumped his thigh as he put his hand down, “My whole body is sore. I usually don’t exercise that much.” As he said that, his ears turned red. Last night, male god was actually quite restrained at first, but he was too enthusiastic. Finally, both of them lost control. It is really scary when an Omega fell into lu-st. Even now, recalling his eagerness and desire for male god at that time makes his heart beats rapidly.

Gu Liheng briefly glanced over Su Ling’s ears and considerately didn’t say anything that would embarrass him. He sat on the edge of the bed and gave him a massage.

One of the two roots was wrapped around Su Ling’s wrist, and the other was swayed beside him, looking very happy. In Su Ling’s mind was a picture of two roots entwined with a grass. Su Ling recalled what happened last night, and asked unsurely, “This is the little friend you were looking for last night?”

The roots moved up and down.

That means, when Xian Mo Yu shared his past experience with him last night, his attention was placed on the wrong target? It was not the vines that appeared in his mental pictures, but the grass that he ignored? That’s not right, Xian Mo Yu shared a close-up of the vines before. So he asked, “What did you mean by showing me pictures of the vines yesterday?”

In Su Ling’s mind, a picture of friends holding hands appeared again. At the same time, the roots wrapped around his hands exerted a slight force, trying to pull him outwards.

Su Ling glanced at the time, it was almost half-past eight. He grabbed male god’s hand and said, “Oh my god, it’s so late right now. Does that means Ye Lei already know what we did?”

“Are you afraid of being known?”

Su Ling said, “No,” he cleared his throat, “just a little embarrassed.”

Gu Liheng’s palm lightly pressed against the back of his neck, and he subconsciously shrank his neck a bit.

Gu Liheng: “Even if you are not late, he will still know,” his voice was deep, “you have my scent.”

Su Ling: “Oh yeah, I almost forgot.” This is not Earth, and he is now an Omega.

Squinting his eyes, Su Ling clasped his hands around male god’s neck and sniffed him. Then he complained in dissatisfaction, “You don’t have my scent.”

“My pheromone has stabilized in the past week, and it will only get out of control for you.” Gu Liheng’s eyes turned deep.

Su Ling immediately remembered, “Oh, a temporary marking for a longer period of time?”

Gu Liheng nodded.

At first, Su Ling was looked at Gu Liheng. But when Gu Liheng nodded, he couldn’t help but looked down, with an amazed expression, “So if w-we do, proceed to permanent marking, y-you will really get a knot?”

Gu Liheng’s breathing was slightly hitched, “En.” But he didn’t continue the topic, and carried Su Ling to the bathroom, “Do you want me to help you in the bath?”

Su Ling ignored his previous question and spoke quickly, “No, I can do it myself.”

A smile flashed in Gu Liheng’s eyes, “What do you want for breakfast then? I will order it for you.”

Su Ling: “Steamed pork buns, century egg and lean meat porridge, soy eggs.”

“How about adding some corns? You should eat some vegetable as well.” Gu Liheng suggested.

Su Ling: “Then I may not be able to finish the food.”

“Don’t worry, I’m here.” Gu Liheng rubbed his soft black hair and went out to get him a change of clothes, before leaving the room.

Su Ling squeezed the roots around his wrist and said, “You go out too.”

The roots were loosened and went out. It turned to circle around Gu Liheng; 360 degrees of observation.

Gu Liheng noticed it, but he didn’t think much about it. He knew Xian Mo Yu had a high IQ. Thinking that it is just curious, he proceeds to order their meal and ordered the housekeeping robot to clean the room.

In Room No.1, Xian Mo Yu shared the news with its little partner with a hint of melancholy, “My son fall in love so early, he is only 18 years old!”

Lóng Mo Téng: “Stop with your stupid worrying behaviour. He is a human being. Could it be you want him to wait until he’s 300 to get into a relationship? With his grave?”

The limp roots immediately shook, “Hahaha, you are so smart, but now you have to prepare two meeting gifts instead.”

Lóng Mo Téng: “Idiot, are they married yet? Are they a family now? What is the rush to give gifts?”

Xian Mo Yu: “What you said makes sense… or are you being stingy and don’t want to give them gifts?”

Lóng Mo Téng didn’t respond.

Xian Mo Yu: “Oh well, let’s wait until they get married to give a gift to my son-in-law.”

Lóng Mo Téng: “You are so long-winded, that’s what I planned.”

After breakfast, Su Ling and Gu Liheng went downstairs and saw Ye Lei pacing in front of Room No.1. When he saw them, he stopped walking and said to Su Ling, “Go in and have a look, something is wrong. Xian Mo Yu won’t let me in.”

Su Ling: “What’s wrong?”

Ye Lei: “Something suddenly appeared on it.”

Su Ling raised his eyebrows in surprise and walked into Room No.1.

As soon as he entered, he saw Xian Mo Yu’s red petals and moving roots, as well as some vines with sharp claw-like leaves wrapped around its petals. The vine forms a complete circle in the middle of the petals. At first glance, it looks like it originally grew on the petals. Following the tug from Xian Mo Yu’s roots, Su Ling walked to a red petal. The petal lowered onto the ground, then a leaf of the vine at that petal suddenly enlarged, until it was about the size of a paper fan. The stalk of the leaf broke away from the main vine, and the end with the large leaf was stretched out, dangling in front of Su Ling.

Su Ling was stunned and was about to ask what it meant. Then, a root quickly entangled the leaf and pulled the leaf off, trying to place it into Su Ling’s hands. However, when Xian Mo Yu did that, the vine abruptly elongated into a whip-like size and whipped that root.

Lóng Mo Téng was surprisingly angry, “Bas-tard, you dare to destroy my perfect gift-giving action?!”

Suffered a whipping, the root fell limply and loosened its grip on the leaf, “I’m sorry. I was afraid you will regret it. Also, my son doesn’t understand what you mean.”

The leaf fell down, and Su Ling subconsciously caught it with his hands.

Chapter 52 – Reunion [OW]

Please don’t retranslate from my English version and don’t repost in Wattpad for your ‘offline’ reading pleasure.
Caution: Cliff ahead, don’t jump! (or try to stop yourself before the ending)

Su Ling thought for a while and asked Ni An, “What do you think is an appropriate price?”

Ni An pondered and answered, “The raw material from Xian Mo Yu has great significance to the military. It can treat the damage caused by the dark matter from the outer space, which means the military’s combat ability can be improved.”

“Our planet spent a lot of time, energy, and money on every outstanding soldier. Many outstanding generals suffer from the illness caused by dark matters, and their recovery is also of great significance to the military.”

“In terms of efficacy, no matter how expensive the raw materials are, it is still reasonable. But since the military intends to buy out all the raw materials and accumulate it for a long time, it will be a huge expense for them if it is too expensive.”

The man leading the group earlier said, “As long as you don’t raise the price unreasonably, the military can accept it. Whenever we purchase materials from individuals or private companies, we have always paid the market prices and will not take advantage of you.”

Su Ling pondered for a moment and said, “Then we shall price it the same as high-grade dark matter inhibitor.”

All 4 soldiers were stunned by Su Ling’s words. Initially, they were worried that Su Ling would raise the price to gain more profit after knowing that the raw material is important. But they didn’t expect him to set the price so cheap.

Ni An was also a little surprised by the decision, “Are you sure?”

Su Ling nodded and smiled, “This is the second time I have cooperated with the military. Major Qian and I have signed a contract for Lopseed’s raw material.”

A smile appeared on the leading soldier’s serious face, “That rascal, he was showing off in front of me before this. He sure makes his move quickly.” Stretching out his hand in front of Su Ling, the man introduced himself, “Belle City Logistics Dept Chief Wang Qing, happy to meet you.”

Su Ling quickly reached out to shake hands and smiled, “Sorry if I was rude before. Nice to meet you, Chief Wang.”

Wang Qing shook his head and said, “No, I was impolite and too impatient. I didn’t introduce myself earlier. The price you set is very cheap. Thank you for your generosity.”

Su Ling solemnly said, “As a citizen in the Capital, I can’t enjoy living in a peaceful environment without the military.” He smiled embarrassedly, “This price is just a token from me. Sorry that I can’t gift it to you. I am actually quite poor, and I need to spend a lot of money on Xian Mo Yu’s daily expenditure.”

Hearing that, Chief Wang said with a straight face, “You don’t have to be sorry at all. To be able to think like this at such a young age, it’s really surprising.”

Several other soldiers agreed and nodded.

Su Ling smiled. He set that price because to him, 10,000 star coins per ml is already very high, and he didn’t have to work hard at all. As for his latter words, it was a word from his heart, and he wants to show his friendly intention. There is nothing wrong with leaving a good impression.

After the price was negotiated, the two parties signed the contract right away. Both red and black liquids currently available add up to a total of 1,000 ml. And so, Su Ling’s personal account instantly increases by 10 million. He was quite excited but still remained calm on the outside. Back on Earth, he can be considered a rich man with this amount in his bank account. He knew very well that when money reached a certain amount, it is just numbers.

Ni An and the rest looked at Su Ling with admiration. He has just reached adulthood but could maintain a stable temperament; that’s very rare. Chief Wang pointed to the soldier next to him and said, “These are the top soldiers from our special forces. Xian Mo Yu is important to us, so they will ensure both you and Xian Mo Yu’s safety in the future.”

Ain’t that exaggerating?

Su Ling waved his hand and said, “No need, Xian Mo Yu doesn’t need any protection.”

“How about your safety then?” Chief Wang hesitated before asking.

Generally, it is not easy for a spiritual plant specialist to get along with a Grade A spiritual plant, let alone Grade S. In case Su Ling has an accident, Xian Mo Yu would definitely hide away again. Then it will be very difficult for us to find it, let alone getting the raw material smoothly.

Su Ling: “With Xian Mo Yu with me, I will be safe. You should have seen the corrosive nature of its liquid? Don’t worry.”

Seeing that Su Ling rejected the suggestion, Chief Wang nodded and said, “Then, I won’t assign personal guards to you. Would you like to move to the military district? Together with Xian Mo Yu?”

Su Ling shook his head, “I hope that my cooperation with the military will not affect my daily life.”

Chief Wang immediately understood what he meant. He could understand that, after all, Su Ling is just a young Omega and won’t like living in a serious and formal environment.

“Alright, if you have anything to ask, you can contact me at any time.”

Su Ling nodded, “Okay.”

After the group left, Su Ling went to see Xian Mo Yu in Room No.1. Xian Mo Yu’s flower petals were flat, and its roots laid limply on the ground, looking very dejected. As soon as Xian Mo Yu saw him, its roots immediately wrapped around his wrist, and a picture of the office building’s garden appeared in his mind. On the other hand, its roots tried to pull him to go out.

“You want to go there?”

Xian Mo Yu’s roots nodded.

Su Ling: “You found your friend?”

Xian Mo Yu’s petals lifted lightly, and the roots were tangled together, but it did not give a clear answer.

This is the first time Xian Mo Yu has avoided answering his question. Some guesses flashed in Su Ling’s mind, but he did not continue to ask.

“Wait here, I need to ask the researcher team. If you go there, their monitoring system may need to be transferred as well.”

Hearing that, Xian Mo Yu’s roots stiffened. And as if in a daze, it fell softly to the ground. Xian Mo Yu retracted its roots, and its petals closed as if it is going to sleep.

Changed your mind so soon? Su Ling smiled and asked, “Not going anymore?” Xian Mo Yu stretched out a root and nodded, so Su Ling said, “Good night.”

Exiting Room No.1, Su Ling went upstairs with Gu Liheng. Instead of going back to his own room, he went to Gu Liheng’s room and headed directly into the bedroom. He had only taken 2 steps inside when Gu Liheng stopped him, “Ling Ling.”

Su Ling turned back, “What’s the matter?”

Gu Liheng looked into his eyes and hesitated, “You… you really wanted to stay here tonight? I’m afraid I can’t control myself.”

Blinking, Su Ling took out a small bottle and sprayed it in the air, “I just want you to try the fragrance I made and see if it can improve your sleep.”

A hint of embarrassment flashed on Gu Liheng’s face. Su Ling’s eyes curled with smiles, spraying perfume while walking, “I didn’t plan to stay, but you reminded me that there is actually a good way to promote sleep, so I’m staying.”

Not saying anything, Gu Liheng simply stood there. His eyes followed Su Ling, and his gaze was deep.

After spraying every place, particularly at the head of the bed, Su Ling makes sure that the air is full of soothing fragrance before putting the bottle in the backpack. Seeing that Gu Liheng hadn’t moved from his earlier position, he couldn’t help but chuckle. He walked to Gu Liheng, raised his hand around Gu Liheng’s neck, and rubbed the back of his(GLH) neck.

Shocked, Gu Liheng grabbed his hand, “Ling Ling!”

Su Ling squinted and tilted his head, “To be fair, you can help me take mine off.”

Gu Liheng didn’t move but stared intently at Su Ling as he asked, “Do you know what you are doing?”

Hearing that make Su Ling flushed, but he nodded, “I know.”

“I’ll take a shower first.” Gu Liheng said after a thoughtful silence before letting go of his hand.

Su Ling: “…what were you thinking about just now?”

Gu Liheng looked away slightly before saying, “Precautions and things to note when getting together with an Omega.”

The corner of Su Ling’s mouth curved up. Staring at Gu Liheng’s handsome but tough facial features, he really loves his(GLH) sincere character to death. “What precautions?” he asked.

Gu Liheng moved slightly towards the bathroom, seeming to want to avoid answering the question. So, Su Ling grabbed his hand and lightly squeezed his finger, “Can’t you tell me? Well, I should also check what precautions to get together with an Alpha.”

“You don’t need to check,” Gu Liheng’s eyes fell on him again, “you don’t need to pay attention.”

“Really? So what do you need to pay attention to?” Su Ling just wanted to tease him at first,
and he really wanted to know by his reaction.

Gu Liheng: “Omega is delicate and soft, and they have a delicate mind. It is necessary to pay attention to hygiene to avoid causing any feeling of disgust. Must always pay attention to Omega’s reaction, take care of them carefully, and…”

“Alright, I know,” Su Ling was inexplicably embarrassed when he heard it, “You go take a bath.”

Gu Liheng glanced over his red cheeks, and a smile flashed in his eyes. Although the young man behaved boldly, he is very simple deep inside; so cute and make one feel soft-hearted.

When Gu Liheng went to the bathroom, Su Ling immediately ran out and rushed to his own room. Taking the bathrobe, he ran to the bathroom.

When one didn’t have any thoughts, they could stay calm. But once the idea appears, one just couldn’t hold it back and couldn’t help being excited. As the two are taking their bath, another scene is happening behind the main building. 2 friends who had not seen each other for many years were talking about their feeling of reunion.

To be precise, it was Xian Mo Yu who talked, and Lóng Mo Téng listened.

[Banana : Sorry for the interruption. It’s better to explain about LMT here than making you guys go up and down for the footnote. 龙魔藤/Lóng Mo Téng is the friend and could be translated as Dragon Devil Vine, but it’s slightly long to keep the name and felt out of place since Xian Mo Yu’s name was not translated. Thanks for reading this~ ]

3 of Xian Mo Yu’s roots emerged from the ground, and because it was too far away, the roots could only protrude about 10 cm from the ground. Fortunately, they were very flexible, so Xian Mo Yu could constantly change its shapes. It released a small amount of fragrance to communicate with its friend.

Xian Mo Yu: “Angry! It has been so many years, you didn’t even say hello when you see me, and still requested not to be discovered by humans.”

Xian Mo Yu: “Unreasonable! Do you know how long I have been looking for you?”

Xian Mo Yu: “Wronged! Only I missed you, but you don’t miss me.”

Lóng Mo Téng: “Stop with your stupid accusations. Being discovered by humans insults my identity as the Dragon Devil Vine. And you were not looking for me; you were looking for your son. What do you think I am staying here for?”

Xian Mo Yu made a big question mark.

A slender grass next to its roots glowed with green light as Lóng Mo Téng explained, “This is the spiritual plant registration association. Your son was taken away by humans. So if you found out about it, you will definitely come here.”

Xian Mo Yu’s roots shook happily, “I knew it, you miss me too, you are my best partner!”

Lóng Mo Téng: “Stop with your silly behavior. If I wasn’t so bored in the forest, and this place has a lot of people going back and forth, I would not stay there for so long.”

Xian Mo Yu: “Hehehe, admit it, you were looking for me.”

Lóng Mo Téng: “You can go away now. Don’t contact me anymore.”

Xian Mo Yu’s roots entangled around the little grass, “No, go with me.”

Lóng Mo Téng: “Humans will destroy us.”

“No, my son wouldn’t do that!”

“That is a human, not your son.”

Xian Mo Yu: “He is my son, don’t you feel it? The aura on his body is the same as mine, full of natural scent.”

Lóng Mo Téng: “Stupid. Return to the forest with me.”

“No, my son is only 19 years old. He’s too young; I have to protect him. You are also his elder, so you have to protect him with me.”

Lóng Mo Téng: “… for how long?”

Xian Mo Yu: “How old are we again? 1860 or 1680? Then at least 600 years old ba.”

Lóng Mo Téng: “Were you sleeping when we eavesdropped on humans in their class? He can only live up to 300 years old at most.”

A big tearful TwT filled Lóng Mo Téng’s mind.

Lóng Mo Téng: “Stop your tearful behavior, are you stupid? Dying at the age of 300 is a natural death. Human beings go through life and die like this.”

Xian Mo Yu: “There’s too little time that I can spend with him, let alone leaving now. You and I will protect him together. When he is gone, then we will return to the forest.”

Lóng Mo Téng did not respond.

Xian Mo Yu’s roots shook, and it shared the pictures of the nutrient solution with Lóng Mo Téng, saying, “This nutrient solution is super delicious, so we don’t need to go hunting; very leisurely. Didn’t you say you like to see things made by humans? I can ask my son to give you a personal bracelet!”

The little grass shook, and Lóng Mo Téng said, “Let me say this first. If humans want to do something bad to us, we will return to the forest together.”

“My son wouldn’t do that!”

The little grass retracted into the ground inch by inch, “No? Then I’ll go back to the forest now, goodbye!”

“I promise!” The roots entangled around the little grass, “I will protect you!”

Lóng Mo Téng: “Heh.”

Su Ling had no idea that his ‘new dad’ got him an uncle bodyguard. After taking a shower, he ran to Gu Liheng’s room. When he passed the aisle, he smelled a whiff of rich fragrance from Xian Mo Yu.

What got it so happy?

Suspicion flashed for a second in his mind, but he didn’t have time to think. He ran to Gu Liheng’s room and was given a bear hug as soon as he entered the door. A mellow red wine scent mixed with cedar hit his face, causing his feet to soften instantly. The back of his neck became hot, and the citrus mint fragrance emanates continuously from his gland. His voice was a little hoarse as he asked, “You have taken yours off?” His isolator was taken down during the bath.

Gu Liheng answered with a low En. He picked Su Ling up and walked to the bedroom.

Su Ling rubbed his forehead against Gu Liheng’s shoulders. His body heat continued to rise, and the gland at the back of his neck felt agitated. Other than that, his body felt empty, and it makes him wanted to get closer to male god. After Gu Liheng put him on the bed, and he saw his male god was about to stand up, Su Ling subconsciously wrapped his hands and feet around his male god and said, “No… don’t leave.”

After he finished speaking, Su Ling frowned and tilted his head. Since when did he become so sticky?

Chapter 51 – Research result [OW]

Please don’t retranslate from my English version and don’t repost in Wattpad for your ‘offline’ reading pleasure.

Ye Lei was about to call someone to hand over his shift when he saw Xian Mo Yu moving out. Shocked, he hurriedly turned on the night lights and contacted Su Ling, “Xian Mo Yu seems to want to go out.”

Su Ling got up and walked to the window sill to look downstairs. At a glance, he saw the red petals at Room No.1’s door. He replied, “I’ll go down right away.” He hung up the call and told Gu Liheng about the situation, then the two quickly went downstairs.

At this moment, a military car stopped at the entrance of the association. Doctor Ni An, and four soldiers in military uniforms got out of the car and quickly walked into the association area. They did not stop at the office building but continued to head towards the dormitory area. After they passed the main building, a black threadlike thing suddenly bounced in their path and stood in front of them. The leading soldier paused and quickly picked up his weapon, then stood in front of Ni An.

Under the help of the lights nearby, Ni An could see what is blocking in front of them. He quickly says, “Don’t attack, it’s Xian Mo Yu.”

The four soldiers looked at the thin strip blocking in front of them and were stunned.

The root rushed to Ni An and swayed a bit in front of him. Then it fell to the ground limply, before straightened up and continued to head to the direction of the main building.

“Doctor Ni An, this…?”

Ni An: “One of Xian Mo Yu’s roots, it can spray corrosive liquid from the front end. Don’t worry, it’s smart and won’t attack indiscriminately.”

One person looked at the roots and said, “It seems to want to go to the front? But it can’t move.”

Ni An: “It seems to be, but we’ll know what happened after we asked.”

The five people continued to move forward until they reached the dormitory area, but they were stopped by the gate at the entrance. Hence, Ni An dialled Su Ling’s number.

When Su Ling went downstairs, Xian Mo Yu’s entire flower had already come out of Room No.1. He ran over and asked, “Where are you going?”

Xian Mo Yu stretched out a root to wrap around his wrist. Then, many more roots sprang out to entangle his body and lifted him up. Just as Su Ling’s feet left the ground, Gu Liheng quickly reached out to hug him, “Ling Ling!”

Su Ling turned his neck: slightly and said, “I’m fine, it meant no harm.” He could feel Xian Mo Yu’s emotions, with some eagerness in the joy, and has no intention to attack.

Seeing his calm expression, Gu Liheng breathed a sigh of relief but didn’t let him go.

Xian Mo Yu’s movements paused, and some roots sprang up again. This time, it entangled Gu Liheng, then quickly lifted the two and placed them directly on its stamens.

Ye Lei was taken aback. From the information he obtained, Xian Mo Yu’s corrosive black liquid was collected from the stamens.

“Su Ling, President Gu!”

The roots loosed its hold after they placed Su Ling and Gu Liheng onto the stamen. Then it returned to the ground and continued to walk outside.

Su Ling was lying down when the roots placed him on the stamen. He quickly got up, it felt like he is stepping on a thick and soft carpet, and his feet were slightly sunken down. Once he stood up, his body swayed uncontrollably.

Gu Liheng has a much better sense of balance than Su Ling, so he reached out to hug him firmly, “Are you hurt anywhere?”

Su Ling shook his head and turned around to shout at Ye Lei below, “We are all right.” He was about to ask Xian Mo Yu what it wanted to do when his bracelet rang. When he saw the name of the caller, which is Doctor Ni An, he connected the call right away, “Hello? Yes, wait for a moment.”

After he hung up, he said to Ye Lei, “Doctor Ni An is outside, please open the door.”

However, Ye Lei couldn’t reach the door because he was entirely blocked by Xian Mo Yu’s flowers and roots. The moment Su Ling finished speaking, Xian Mo Yu’s roots had already reached the door’s switch button. Ye Lei thought to use his bracelet to turn on the remote control when he heard a sound from the door. Xian Mo Yu has opened the door.

At the same time, several surprised sounds could be heard.

“My God.”

“Oh, what is this?”

Except for Doctor Ni An who had seen Xian Mo Yu before, the others were shocked by Xian Mo Yu’s appearance.

Worried that Xian Mo Yu would hurt someone by moving on, Su Ling quickly said, “Stop! Where are you going?”

Xian Mo Yu stopped, a root gestured to Su Ling and pointed forward.

Su Ling: “What do you want to do there?”

After his question, many clear pictures flashed in his mind, mountains, valleys, forests… various places with dense vegetation; each scene had Xian Mo Yu and another plant. However, the species of that plant is always changing. Though, there is one thing in common with all the other plants, that is, are all vine-type plants. In the image, sometimes the plant would be entwined on a tree, and sometimes it would entangle on Xian Mo Yu’s petals. Among all vines shown, one appeared frequently and have dark stems with shiny emerald green leaves. The leaves are divided into three parts at one-third of the petiole, curled slightly inward, and the tips are black,
like animal claws.

Su Ling glanced at the main building and couldn’t help asking, “Do you like vines?”

Xian Mo Yu’s roots shook left and right, then moved up and down. In Su Ling’s mind, a close-up view of that dark-stem vine appeared. After the close-up, there was a fuzzy image; two stickmen holding hands.

Su Ling: “This is your friend. You don’t like vines, but you like your friend?”

Xian Mo Yu’s roots went up and down a bit. Then it twisted happily before started to walk forward again.

A guess flashed in Su Ling’s mind, “It’s here, somewhere in front?”

Xian Mo Yu’s root nodded.

On the other side.

“Get out of the way!” Ni An hurriedly said to the others upon seeing Xian Mo Yu moving forward.

Su Ling grabbed the roots in front of him and said, “Stop! I’ll take you there, it’s not easy for you to go out like this.” If he lets Xian Mo Yu go out like this, both the left and right sides of the gate will probably be corroded.

Xian Mo Yu didn’t stop moving, and in Su Ling’s mind, he saw a scene of Xian Mo Yu corroding the soil and suddenly emerging from the ground. Immediately understood what Xian Mo Yu wanted to do, he hurriedly said, “No! I promise you. I’ll take you there, and it won’t be any slower than your speed.”

Xian Mo Yu’s roots sprang up from the ground, quickly placed Su Ling and Gu Liheng down in front of the gate, which they had a face-to-face meeting with Doctor Ni An’s five-person group.

“This is?” Doctor Ni An asked in surprise.

Su Ling: “Sorry, I’ll talk about it later, we have something urgent to do now.”

Worried that Xian Mo Yu could not wait and will destroy the door, Su Ling put Xian Mo Yu in his space storage and ran to the office building. Gu Liheng followed closely behind him while Ye Lei also hurriedly followed. Ni An’s five-person group saw them running, although they were confused, they all followed behind the trio. When Su Ling reached the open space of the office building, he opened his space storage to put Xian Mo Yu down.

Xian Mo Yu’s roots shook happily and stalked up the large tree in the yard. But halfway there, all of the roots fell to the ground. Su Ling could sense that its mood has changed from exhilarated to feeling wronged, and the fragrance it exuded became more intense.

No one noticed that the vines at the top of the big tree have changed. The gleaming emerald green colour disappeared, and its claw-shaped vines turned into a diamond shape, exactly the same as the vines seen everywhere in the association area.

Xian Mo Yu tried to use its fragrance to communicate with its friend, but the other party had only one response: Stop your stupid communication and don’t let me be discovered by humans. The response was very subtle and difficult to be discovered by humans and spiritual plants unless they are of the same grade.

Ye Lei turned on the night light outside the office building, and the surrounding area brightened up.

As soon as the light was turned on, Su Ling couldn’t help but glance up. It was no different from the daytime. The diamond-shaped leaves at the top of the tree were not very clear. Could it be that Xian Mo Yu thought it had found its little friend but realized that it had made a mistake when it gets nearer? That’s not right. If that’s the case, its feeling should be changed from happy to disappointment, not feeling wronged.

At the same time, Ni An sighed, “Eh?! Why did you turn on the light?”

Puzzled, Ye Lei replied, “It’s too dark.”

Ni An looked helpless as he said, “I came here, especially at night without prior notice for a reason. It is all in vain now.”

Su Ling lightly squeezed Xian Mo Yu’s root as a sign of comfort. Hearing this, Su Ling asked, “So you coming tonight, is there anything you want to keep secret?”

Ni An nodded, trying hard to hide his excitement, and subconsciously lowered his voice, “The effect of Xian Mo Yu’s black liquid has been studied, and the result is out.”

Su Ling is curious. Judging from Ni An’s reaction, it should be useful. He asked, “What is it?”

Ni An: “Let’s go to the office to have a good talk,” he pointed to Xian Mo Yu, “What was it doing here actually?”

A picture of a single-line mouth appeared in Su Ling’s mind, with a big cross on it. Su Ling was a little surprised, does that means Xian Mo Yu doesn’t want him to tell other people? He shrugged at Ni An and said, “I don’t know, maybe it’s because it has been staying too long in my space storage and indoors, so it felt bored.”

Ni An pondered for a moment and said, “Grade S spiritual plant has the same IQ as elementary school students, so you really shouldn’t keep it in a closed environment often.”

Su Ling nodded in agreement and placed Xian Mo Yu in his space storage. When they returned to the dormitory area, he released it in Room No.1. Ni An went to the monitoring room beside. Ye Lei knew that their talk is confidential so he did not go in.

Ni An looked at Su Ling and seemed serious when talking about business.

“According to research and experimental results, Xian Mo Yu’s black liquid can help to curb the damage caused by the dark matter from the universe and remove the particles that are left in the wound.”

“At present, many front-line officers and soldiers in the military have been tortured by this type of injury. A senior officer was seriously injured in the battle previously, and the particles have been spreading inside his body for many years. Right now, it is necessary to perform surgery on him as soon as possible.”

Hearing that, Su Ling asked, “How much liquid is needed?”

Ni An: “The more, the better.”

From his space storage, Su Ling took out bottles of black and red liquid he collected recently, “That’s all I have.” He asked Gu Liheng, “How to calculate the market price of this type of remedy?”

Gu Liheng: “There is no market price. Before this, the only treatment can only prevent the spreading and cannot cure it. The medicine is at least 10,000 star coins per ml.”

The faces of the four soldiers changed slightly. One wanted to say something but was held back by another person.

Su Ling was stunned by the pricing. The raw material Xian Mo Yu could produce at most is almost 50 ml per day!

Chapter 50 – Effectiveness [OW]

Please don’t retranslate from my English version and don’t repost in Wattpad for your ‘offline’ reading pleasure.

Xian Mo Yu stretched out its roots and swayed in front of everyone. Then the roots retracted, leaving one wrapped around Su Ling’s wrist and one standing beside him.

After Ye Lei turned on all the monitoring equipment, his eyes fell on Su Ling’s wrist, “It’s very close to you.”

Su Ling hadn’t spoken yet, and the standing root bent to rub Su Ling at the side of his face. He reached out and pinched the root, “Don’t mess around.”

Ye Lei was surprised by the interaction, “It can understand us? What a high IQ.”

“Yes,” Su Ling nodded. “What the book says about Grade S spiritual plant having high IQ is correct.”

Ye Lei’s eyes lit up, and he circled Xian Mo Yu, “Unfortunately, Grade S spiritual plants are too rare, we don’t know much about them. Although we have found traces of Grade S spiritual plants everywhere, we failed to track them down. They know how to stay hidden in their own turf too well.” He looked at Su Ling, curious and excited, “Why did it come back with you? And why it would be so close to you?”

Su Ling hesitated but told Ye Lei about his pheromone abnormalities. Before Ye Lei could ask further, he stated, “I don’t know what was in my body before. I haven’t seen it on Xian Mo Yu’s body either.”

Ye Lei recorded down his(SL) words and asked, “Will it be fine just drinking nutrient solutions? Does it need to bask in the sun for photosynthesis?”

“It shouldn’t be necessary ba, I have never let it out in the sun before,” he said, lightly squeezing the roots, “Do you want to bask in the sun?”

The standing root swayed left and right, then moved up and down again.

Su Ling raised his eyebrows, “So it’s yes or no?”

The roots didn’t move, and Xian Mo Yu’s experience flashed in Su Ling’s mind. Its red petals seemed to be shining in the sun, surrounded by many animals, as well as colourful butterflies and bees. At the next scene, Xian Mo Yu is waiting quietly in the depths of the forest where there is no sunlight at all, with roots extending everywhere; hunting mode. Now Su Ling understands that Xian Mo Yu will hunt when there’s no sunlight to do photosynthesis. It has inherited survival methods from both plants and animals. But now that it has nutrient solution, which has replaced hunting. He asked Xian Mo Yu to confirm the information he learned, “You mean, it’s okay either way whether to bask in the sun or not?”

The roots moved up and down.

Ye Lei: “Then we won’t arrange light factor for the indoor test. We will wait for the field test to study its photosynthesis.”

After Ye Lei finished speaking, he asked the team members to open a new container of nutrient solution and put it near Xian Mo Yu. A lot of roots came out from Xian Mo Yu and soaked itself in the container. As it unfolded itself in the nutrient solution, the fragrance it exudes is stronger. Obviously, it is feeling happy now.

Ye Lei enjoyed the fragrance for a while before asking, “How do you feel when you smell its scent?”

A team member replied, “Very comfortable, it gave me a lazy feeling.”

“There is a sense of trance, like in a dream.”

Someone agreed, “Yes, I feel that way too.”

Ye Lei looked at Su Ling, “I feel the same as them, how about you?”

Su Ling nodded: “But my mind is clear, knowing that everything happening right now is real.”

Ye Lei acknowledged with an En. After a moment of thought, he said, “A feeling of trance, but doesn’t affect reason.” He rubbed his lower neck unconsciously, and then pointed to a member of the team, “Old Third, you stay.” Then he said to Su Ling, “I want to test the effect of its scent on Alpha and Omega’s pheromone. To avoid getting affected, please go next door.”

Except for Ye Lei and Old Third, the others all walked out. Some team members joked, “Group leader, don’t be afraid. If he dares to mess around, we’ll rush over and beat him right away.”

The man they called Old Third threw a kick in the air, “Fxck off, my self-control is super strong. Otherwise, why do you think the team leader asked me to test his theory?”

The man laughed and closed the door after going out.

In the next room, no one sat down. Everyone stood there looking at the holographic screen that was as large as the wall. Su Ling and Gu Liheng stood at the front, while the rest stood at the door, seemingly ready to rush to Room 1 at any time. In the holographic screen, Ye Lei said to Old Third while taking off his isolator, “Take off yours.”

Old Third did as what he told.

The people in front of the holographic screen were all staring at the screen. Five minutes later, Ye Lei and Old Third are still standing face to face, but no one is blushing or getting soft at the feet, just like when they have their isolator on.

“I watched the team leader’s assessment before this. His pheromone was very attractive, it doesn’t make sense.”

“Uh…Is there a problem with Old Third?”

“Impossible, Old Third went directly to the bathroom after watching the team leader’s assessment last time.”

After another five minutes, Ye Lei faced the camera and beckoned them.

When Su Ling saw this, they all moved to the next door.

Both Ye Lei and Old Third has re-attached their isolator, and the ventilation equipment is in operation. But some of the sweet smell of an Omega pheromone and strong Alpha pheromone still remains in the air.

Gu Liheng took Su Ling’s hand and looked at his expression.

Taken aback, Su Ling soon reacted and laughed, “I’m not affected.”

The other team members were surprised as well as they said, “I am not affected either.”

“It feels so strange. I can smell the team leader’s pheromone, but my emotion is very stable.

Ye Lei held down his excitement and tried to calm his tone, “This should be the effect of Xian Mo Yu’s fragrance, which blurs the feeling, but does not affect the reality.”

“It is equivalent to that AO can still smell the other party’s pheromone, but it blurs the emotional changes brought by the pheromone while keeping the mind sober.”

Su Ling’s eyes lit up and looked at Gu Liheng, “In this case, we can stay together in the future, and it will be fine even if we don’t attach our isolator!”

Gu Liheng nodded and said, “However, it is still uncertain whether the scent is useful for AO who are already affected, and whether the effectiveness stays the same for AO with high compatibility rate.”

A team member voiced out, “Oh yeah, Old Third has the lowest compatibility rate with the team leader.”

“Haha, it turns out that the team leader chose Old Third for this reason.”

Ye Lei turned to glance at the man, and when they settled down, he said, “President Gu is right, but there is no way to test it today. We will go into the details, and it will be tested three days later.”

“No matter what the result is, this effect is already very magical,” Ye Lei made a fist. “In the future, AO may be able to fall in love without the isolator, just like a normal Beta, without being affected by their instinct.”

“That’s great. I have a friend where the person he like has a low compatibility rate with him. Later, another person with a high compatibility rate chased after him. After drinking, he was affected by their pheromones, and he couldn’t control himself, ending up having a relationship with that person. It is still a big mess at his side.”

“So miserable.”

“When I can’t control myself, I became really upset and felt like a beast. So it always distressed me seeing my Omega’s sorry state after I woke up in the morning.”

Hearing that, Su Ling glanced up, it was the Alpha who was sitting on the right seat before.

“Boss, stop spreading dog food.”

“Yes, is this a time to spread dog food?”

Ye Lei recorded the result of their testing and ordered, “Go and prepare. The indoor test doesn’t need much help, we’ll just need to monitor the whole process.”

The boss nodded and left with the other four members.

Then Ye Lei said to Su Ling, “I will go to the next door to observe. You can join me or do your own thing. I will contact you if something is up.”

Su Ling: “We won’t join you then, we still have something else to do.”

Before Su Ling leaves the room, he reminded Xian Mo Yu again not to mess around. After lightly pinching the roots, Xian Mo Yu let go of him, and he and Gu Liheng left Room No.1.

They headed to the spiritual plant sample storage room. Su Ling swiped his bracelet and went in. Once inside, it seemed like they have entered an enormous library. The indoor area is large, with rows of shelves placed, just like bookshelves. The level of the spiritual plant sample is written next to the shelf. The closest to the door is Grade E. Each row of shelves has three floors, each with ten grids, which are blocked by small glass windows, and samples are placed inside. A label with the name of the spiritual plant is attached to the upper right corner of the glass window, as well as a brief introduction of the spiritual plant, including the effects of its aroma.

Su Ling sighed in admiration, “What a good place.”

It is a paradise for students majoring in spiritual plant.

Gu Liheng asked, “You like it? It’s not a problem for our Gu company to find all the known spiritual plants listed so far. It just takes time to organize it, and then we will be able to make something like this in the villa.”

“No, it’s not that I like it. I just think it’s very convenient to study this way,” Su Ling said with a laugh. “Don’t do this in the villa. After I noted down the information, it will be useless.” This is definitely a very heavy workload.

Gu Liheng looked at him and nodded.

Smiling, Su Ling took Gu Liheng’s hand and led him to the first grid and said, “Smell it carefully. Tell me which one that makes you feel refreshed, soothed, and comfortable.”

A soft expression appeared on Gu Liheng’s face, “Okay.”

Gu Liheng concentrated on feeling the effects of various spiritual plants’ scent, and Su Ling mentally noted down the fragrance and the name of the spiritual plant. Although he has a better memory now, he still can’t remember things with just a glance. But he won’t force himself, he will just remember as much as he can.

At dinner time, they only managed to get to the Grade D spiritual plant area. There are too many Grade E spiritual plants, accounting for almost half of all types of spiritual plants. Many Grade E spiritual plants have similar effects. Gu Liheng has pointed out a total of 42 spiritual plants, of which 18 are refreshing. Su Ling kept the records, and they left the storage room to eat dinner at the restaurant outside the association.

When they returned, Su Ling walked to the door of the dormitory area, and a root broke out from the ground and swayed in front of him. Su Ling looked at the black hole on the floor, “…If you really want to come out, come out through the window next time?”

Fortunately, it’s just a root. If there’s more… what if the level collapses? He thought about it and felt that it is indeed dangerous. Hence while walking into his room, he explained the consequences of the floor collapsing to Xian Mo Yu.

At the same time, Ye Lei came out of the monitoring room, his eyes fell on the root, “How long is its root?”

Su Ling looked back, then looked at Room No.1. The roots from Room No.1 to the black hole and then to where he stood were at least ten meters away.

“I don’t know either.” In his impression, the roots were like a rubber band that could stretch indefinitely. He rubbed the root of his wrist and asked, “How far can you reach?”

The root lets go of him, went straight to the second floor, and entered his room through the second-floor window.

Ye Lei estimated, “More than twenty meters.”

Soon, the root retracted and disappeared from the black hole it created. After a while, two roots came out of the window of Room No.1 and went directly to Su Ling’s room on the second floor. Although he couldn’t see what is happening, but from the way the roots shook, Su Ling knew that it is swaying in front of Lopseed and Baby’s breath again.

He looked at Ye Lei and asked, “Is it okay that it acted like this?”

Ye Lei raised his head to look at the roots, “It’s okay, it doesn’t affect the test since it’s up in the air[1]. Is there something in your room that it likes?”

Su Ling: “Lopseed and Baby’s breath, it is probably playing with them.”

Hearing that, Ye Lei’s eyes lit up and he made notes on his bracelet, “In other words, Grade S spiritual plant can make friends.”

Su Ling agrees, he thinks Xian Mo Yu regards him as a friend.

In the evening, Su Ling’s room.

Su Ling and Gu Liheng sat in the living room, Su Ling looked at the fragrance making courseware, while Gu Liheng handled urgent documents from his company. The two did not communicate, but the atmosphere was very warm. The scent of Lopseed and Baby’s breath in the air makes them very comfortable, and they don’t feel tired regardless of study or work. Xian Mo Yu’s roots stayed until the two plants closed their petals, indicating that they had to rest before moving away from them, and went to Su Ling’s side.

Su Ling casually gave it a squeeze and turned back to focus on the courseware.

Xian Mo Yu stayed for a while, then turned to sway in front of Gu Liheng. Gu Liheng glanced at it and continued to look at his files. Its roots scurried around boredly and finally lay lazily on the windowsill. Suddenly, it felt something, the front end opened up in shock, and soon quickly retracted from the window sill. Its movement was fast and light, so it didn’t make any noise or large movement. Su Ling and Gu Liheng didn’t even find out when it left.

The roots left the window sill but did not return to Room No.1. Instead, it went to the front office building and finally stopped behind the main building. Its front end opened up again, contracting like it was heaving. Then it stopped the action and patted the ground irritably before collapsed on the ground[2]. At the same time, countless roots appeared in Room No.1, some of them rushed towards the door and opened the door. Then the roots stretched straight, lifted the flowers bud, and moved forward. Every time the flower bud move, the roots behind the main building also move forward.

[1] No idea what being in the air doesn’t affect the test lol _(;3/
[2] The sentence sounds weird, but I think it’s because XMY has reached its maximum length, that’s why it couldn’t go further and got irritated.
