Chapter 65 – Apology [OW]

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

Because they have just rehearsed the day before, everything in the studio was in order. Director Wang saw Su Ling coming in and smiled, “Have to bother you to go through the process once more before the live broadcast to make sure everything is in the correct order.”

Su Ling nodded in understanding and released Xian Mo Yu.

When it is almost 7.30 pm, Su Ling put Xian Mo Yu back into the space storage and returned to backstage. Sitting side by side with Gu Liheng, they watched the live broadcast showed on the wall while waiting.

At 7.30 pm, Director Wang’s voice came from behind the cameras, “Start!”

The host appeared onstage with a smile, “Hello everyone and our audience, welcome to our science program, I am the host Xiao Ke.”

The host spoke proficiently with the opening remarks, and the comment barrage was filled with Xian Mo Yu’s name. The number of viewers on the live channel rose rapidly. The backstage staffs were full of joy. Some people couldn’t help but said with excitement, “Today’s show will definitely set a record.”

There are 2 electronic screens on the ground in front of the stage. On the left is a teleprompter, and on the right is a comment screen. When the host saw the comment barrage, he didn’t panic and stayed composed amid the urging. He introduced Xian Mo Yu in general according to the planned process. After rousing the audience’s curiosity to the peak, he smiled and said, “Let’s welcome our special guest, Xian Mo Yu.”

Su Ling walked to the stage and smiled at the camera. Then he released Xian Mo Yu and returned to backstage. Xian Mo Yu stretched out two roots to follow him; 1 wrapped around his wrist beside Lóng Mo Téng, and 1 stood beside him.

After Xian Mo Yu appeared on the stage, the barrage exploded instantly, “It’s beautiful!”

“The Omega just now is Xian Mo Yu’s owner? Super envious!”

“I heard that Grade S Xian Mo Yu has a high IQ, is it true?”

The host looked at Xian Mo Yu and said, “Xian Mo Yu, can you say hello to the audience?”

Xian Mo Yu’s red petals moved up and down, and 5 roots stretch out to the front of the camera. They shook left and right, simulating the motion of a hand wave.

“Wow! It really said hello!”

“So smart!”

Xian Mo Yu followed the process as rehearsed. After its greeting, its petals returned to being motionless, and its roots were retracted. However, it found something new in the middle of retracting. A root bend and moved to stop at the comment screen on the right. This wasn’t here during the rehearsal. Seeing the barrage full of praises on the screen, Xian Mo Yu became very happy. Its roots swayed around, and at the same time, it shared its joy to its son and friend, “Many people praised me, hahaha.”

Su Ling rubbed the root on his wrist and reminded, “Papa Xian, don’t look the barrage now. You are doing a live broadcast now.”

The host was stunned by Xian Mo Yu’s action but quickly reacted. He pointed at the comment screen on the right-hand side and said, “Dear audience, all of you knows that this is a comment screen, right? We didn’t use this during rehearsal. So, Xian Mo Yu sees it for the first time and is probably curious.”

The happily swaying roots stood up and nodded up and down. Following Su Ling’s reminder, the roots retracted back to the flower bud.

“So cute!”

“Too smart, it even learned to nod like us.”

“Haha, it was swaying so happily before. Could it knows that we are praising it?”

Xian Mo Yu stayed in its place obediently. The cameraman mobilized the camera equipment to show Xian Mo Yu in 360 degrees, and the host introduced the various parts of Xian Mo Yu along with the camera. The barrage calmed down a bit, and everyone carefully paid attention to know more about Xian Mo Yu.

After introducing Xian Mo Yu’s appearance, the host began to introduce Xian Mo Yu’s black liquid’s effects, using Marshal Manton’s case as an example. The audience knew about this incident, and with their idol Manton involved, they commented with their thanks and gratitude.

“Thank you, Xian Mo Yu.”

“Fortunately, Xian Mo Yu appeared in time!”

“Marshal Manton, please recover soon!”

Finally, the host talks about Xian Mo Yu’s general habits.

“Next, please watch this video. Here, I would like to thank the spiritual plant registration association for supporting our program.”

The video is from the association’s surveillance camera showing Xian Mo Yu in the valley. After post-processing, Xian Mo Yu’s activities from morning to night are covered in the video, especially its 3 time hunting process. Each hunting process was no more than 1 minute; simply clean and neat.

“Too handsome!”

“This is too awesome that my scalp went numb.”

“If the venom is accidentally sprayed on people, won’t we be dead meat?”

Su Ling found that most of the comments were praises and admiration, but there were also many worries. After the video, the introduction comes to an end.

Host: “Spiritual plants are good friends of mankind. Humans grow spiritual plants, and they provide us with raw materials in return. We learn about them in order to get along with them better.”

“We all know that the spiritual plants possessed intelligence, and the Grade S spiritual plant may have an IQ even higher than we thought. You have also seen how Xian Mo Yu can live well in the forest by itself, and it does not need humans to raise it. But it is still willing to provide us with raw materials. There are many spiritual plants like Xian Mo Yu. We must treat each spiritual plant with gratitude.”

The comment barrage echoed the sentiment.

Su Ling smiled, and this ending speech has been changed many times. During the rehearsal, he kept thinking about what the audience would think of Xian Mo Yu after learning about it. There will definitely be praises and thanks. But the powerful ability of Xian Mo Yu’s black liquid is not only beneficial to humans but also potentially dangerous. People who are not familiar with Xian Mo Yu can easily worry about human safety. These words from the host may not necessarily dispel some people’s idea that Xian Mo Yu is harmful, but at least it can stop them from judging the book by its cover. At the same time, the audience would be aware that spiritual plants are friendly to humans.

The next part is the interactive session, where the audience asks questions or requests. Then the host will randomly select some to ask Xian Mo Yu. The barrage was instantly annihilated by various questions, and many of the questions were similar. The first question that was drawn was very repetitive.

“Can Xian Mo Yu understand us?”

After the host read it, Xian Mo Yu sprang out a root and nodded up and down.

The host laughed, “Seeing this scene, the audience who asked the question should know the answer? Yes, it can understand us.”

The questions basically revolved around Xian Mo Yu’s IQ and ability. Some people mentioned Su Ling and wondered how he got Xian Mo Yu. The host replied with the answer discussed in advance, “How Omega and spiritual plant meet are about fate. They met in the mountains.”

At the end of the show, Xian Mo Yu stretched out its roots and waved to bid farewell to the audience. Apart from that, it also formed a smile with its roots. The audience shouted, ‘So cute!’ in the comment box. Su Ling smiled; the acting cute part was what he asked Papa Xian to do. It doesn’t hurt to leave a good impression on the audience.

After the live broadcast was closed, Director Wang excitedly said, “Very good!”

Su Ling went to the stage and put Xian Mo Yu back into his space storage. Full of smiles, Director Wang went to thank him, “The appearance fee will be credited to your account later. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.”

Su Ling understood his good mood. The number of viewers exceeded 100 million during the live broadcast, and many people sent gifts throughout the show. He finally understood why Director Wang paid nearly 10 million star coins for his appearance fees. After exchanging a few polite words, he left with Gu Liheng.

After watching the live broadcast, Gu Ming was full of anger and scolded Gu An, “Why are you so impatient? Knowing that he has a Grade S spiritual plant in his hand, you still send people to go after him!”

Gu An hung his head, his slightly longer hair covered his eyes, “Father, it was my negligence. I didn’t expect the military to value him so much.”

“You are not negligent; you are stupid,” Gu Ming was furious. After scolding, he said solemnly, “Go find a way to comfort the Yan family and remove yourself from this mess.”

Gu An: “Yes.”

“Also, go and investigate Su Ling’s background. As an abandoned son, how could he possess 3 Grade A spiritual plants and 2 Grade S spiritual plants.” He couldn’t contain the resentment in his voice, “Gu Liheng is really lucky. “

A cold glint flashed in Gu An’s eyes, “Yes.”

Su Ling and Gu Liheng returned to the villa and had a supper prepared by Domi. While eating, Su Ling received the news from the Minister of Security. After reading it, he looked at Gu Liheng, “Chief Li said that the person behind the accident has been found. It is Gu An’s secretary.”

Hearing that, Gu Liheng’s face sank, and his tone was cold, “Gu An!”

Su Ling: “Who?”

Gu Liheng: “My paternal grandfather’s grandnephew, my uncle’s son.”

Su Ling mentally organized the family tree and asked, “Other than you, is there anyone else left under your paternal grandfather’s line?”

Gu Liheng looked at the young man because his question hit the nail on the head, “No.”

“The possibility of this accident related to Gu An is very high,” Su Ling narrowed his eyes. “Trying to attack from my side, does he think that I’m easier to be bullied?”

It seemed to be so thinking about it. He has broken off from the Su family, so he probably looked like a little cabbage(pitiful thing) that anyone can bully. But it probably never crosses Gu An’s mind that he has Papa Xian and Uncle Lóng! Without Uncle Lóng, he would be in grave danger at that time.

Gu Liheng rubbed Su Ling’s hair, and there was no warmth in his eyes as he said, “I will let him know that you are not easy to be bullied.”

The next day, they learned about the Ministry of Security’s interrogation result, and their expressions were not very good. Not long after, Domi informed them, “Master, Gu An is outside the door.”

With an expressionless voice, Gu Liheng said, “Let him in.”

Gu An is wearing a white suit. He is quite tall and is much paler than the average Alpha. So the dark colour under his eyes was very conspicuous, making him look haggard. As Gu An walked into the living room, he saw Xian Mo Yu leaning against the wall and swaying its roots around. His footsteps halted for the slightest moment. Then he realized that neither Gu Liheng nor Su Ling had their isolator on. That’s why he could sense powerful pheromone aimed towards him, with strong coercion and anger, but he frowned and stood still. It didn’t take long for the discomfort to dissipate in Xian Mo Yu’s fragrance.

Gu An walked to Gu Liheng and said with his head bowed, “Big Brother, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect Secretary Yan to attack your boyfriend.” He bent at a low angle, and tiredness were shown in his face and voice, making him looked very pitiful.

Gu Liheng’s cheeks and jaws tightened; his face and gaze were chilly. This kind of attitude again. Since childhood, he has been very familiar with Gu An’s acting. Whenever such a scene appeared, he(GLH) will surely be unlucky next. And Gu An will receive the elders’ pity and love. But now? Without the elders here, who does he want to show his acting?

Suddenly, Gu Liheng’s heart tightened, and he turned to look at Su Ling. Omega is naturally emotionally sensitive and easy to be soft-hearted. Will the young man find him scary? Will he sympathize with Gu An?

Sensing the gaze, Su Ling raised his eyebrows in confusion. Why did he suddenly stare at him? Is male god asking his thoughts? Su Ling glanced at Gu An and said, “You don’t need to explain; we know what’s going on. But to be able to make Secretary Yan bear all the faults, you are really something.”

Gu An looked at Su Ling in amazement.

Su Ling squinted his eyes and glared at Gu An, “But you should pay attention in the future. Since you gave me a scare. I won’t let you go easily.”

In an instant, Gu An lost his focus momentarily. Beautiful and dangerous Omega will always evoke an Alpha’s desire to conquer.

Gu Liheng gabbed Su Ling’s shoulders and glared at Gu An warningly, “Scram.”

Su Ling turned his head in surprise. Male god is always rational and restrained; even his anger is also reserved. This was the first time he heard him speaking in such an angry tone.

Gu An’s delicate face revealed some sadness as he said, “I know it’s hard to convince you that it has nothing to do with me, but really… I only heard that my elder brother is in love, so I looked it up curiously.” He glanced at Su Ling, “After all, my brother has never really fallen in love for so many years. I even gotten worried on his behalf.”

“I didn’t expect Secretary Yan to misunderstand my intention. I just said that you were beautiful and said that brother is blessed. I didn’t say anything else.”

Su Ling felt a twinge of pain at his shoulder, so he turned his head and glanced up. Gu Liheng has his hand on his shoulder, and veins were popping up at the back of his hand as if he was enduring something.

“Brother, you are hurting him.” Gu An reminded softly and looked at Su Ling pityingly.

The strength in Gu Liheng’s hand was suddenly relieved, and he glared at Gu An.

“You don’t want your eyes anymore?” His voice was extremely cold, “Get out. I am so tired of seeing your hypocritical expression since I was a kid.”

Hearing that, Gu An looked even sadder, “Brother, why do you always misunderstand me? I have admired you since I was a child.” He paused and seemed to want to adjust his mood, “To apologize, I will give half of my assets to Su Ling as an apology.”

“No need.” Gu Liheng said in a deep voice, ordering Domi to forcefully send the man out.

Gu Liheng quickly turned around and pulled down Su Ling’s collar at the right shoulder after Gu An left the living room. Then he saw that Su Ling’s pale and round shoulder has turned red and clenched his fists heavily. He said solemnly, “I’m sorry.” As he said, he bowed his head and dropped a kiss on Su Ling’s shoulder.

Chapter 64 – Rehearsal [OW]

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

After talking with Ni An, Su Ling cleaned up the fragrance room. He poured half of the vine liquid into a small glass bottle and went to the living room to find the Domi the housekeeper robot.

“Domi, help me to courier this out.”

Domi moved to Su Ling and took the glass bottle. Su Ling passed Ni An’s address to Domi, and blue light flashed in its eyes as it confirmed, “This will be delivered in about an hour.”

Su Ling: “Thank you.”

“Master’s beautiful Omega, you are welcomed,” Domi said before turning around and headed outside.

Su Ling couldn’t help laughing when he heard Domi’s words. He tried to correct it before, but Domi logic is very tough. Since he is Gu Liheng’s Omega, and very beautiful, Domi replied that calling him as Master’s beautiful Omega is the most appropriate name.

Just then, Gu Liheng came down from upstairs and saw them, “You don’t like that? You can amend its program.”

“No need,” Su Ling said, “it was your playmate when you were a kid. It’s a program you have kept for so many years, it would be a pity to change.” He walked up to Gu Liheng and smiled, “From its program, I can see that you should be quite lively when you were a kid?”

Gu Liheng took Su Ling’s hand and sat on the sofa. With his expression unchanged, he nodded and said, “En, I was quite naughty.”

Su Ling was amused by the contrast between Gu Liheng’s expression and his words. He put his hand on his(GLH) shoulder and said with a smile, “Kinda hard to imagine that.”

Gu Liheng looked at Su Ling and asked, “Am I very boring now?” He paused, “On the Internet, it says that young Omega likes humorous and emotional Alpha.”

Hearing that, Su Ling raised his eyebrows, and his eyes curved with a smile. He leaned toward Gu Liheng curiously and asked, “Do you still browse this kind of websites?” He touched male god’s left wrist, “Can I see what you have seen?”

Gu Liheng looked slightly embarrassed by the request.

Su Ling said, “It’s alright. If it’s inconvenient for you, do you want to see my search history instead?”

Not waiting for male god to answer, Su Ling opened his bracelet to enter the relationship forum and clicked the Favorited page, which was full of various posts about how to pursue an Alpha.

“I read a lot of strategies in order to chase you, but I failed at the beginning. Then I gave up on following those advises,” his mouth curved up, “I finally caught you.”

As Gu Liheng looked at the holographic screen, his heart was full of warmth and guilt. He shifted his gaze, and his face was slightly stiff as he said, “You…”

Su Ling noticed that his tone was different, and turned his head, “What’s the matter?”

“Why did you saved a deleted post?” Gu Liheng pointed to the screen.

His expression was too unnatural. Su Ling narrowed his eyes and looked at his expression as he asked, “You know the content of this post?”

That was when they had dinner together, and he gave roses to male god for the first time but was rejected. This deleted post was written by a restaurant waiter. It was also through this post that he learned that male god returned to retrieve the rose, strengthening the idea that male god liked him.

Gu Liheng’s thin lips pressed slightly, “En.”

Suddenly realized something, Su Ling blinked and asked, “You were the one who deleted the post?” He leaned closer, “Because you don’t want me to see it?”

Gu Liheng was silent for a moment, but he replied honestly, “En.”

Su Ling laughed, “It would be a pity if I didn’t see it. Thinking back at that time right now still makes me happy.” He pointed to the holographic screen, “Like my saved posts, although they are of no use anymore, but at that time, I really wanted to chase you. The mood and feelings contained in the posts make me feel embarrassed but at the same time, looking forward to it. It is still very sweet.”

Gu Liheng looked at Su Ling’s smiling face and tapped at his own bracelet.

At first glance, Su Ling saw the same deleted post in Gu Liheng’s saved post, “The reason why you hesitated just now is because you are afraid that I might see this?”

Gu Liheng looked slightly embarrassed.

Su Ling smiled brighter and glanced across the rest of his saved posts, all were related to Omega. And there are many keywords like young, just reached adulthood, and 18 years old. Amused, Su Ling asked, “Are you worried about having a generation gap with me? Why do you use these keywords in all your searches?”

Gu Liheng: “I’m 10 years older than you,” he added, “I’m not treating you as a child, I just want to know what you think.”

Su Ling: “You can ask me directly in the future. Even people of the same age have great individual differences.” He patted male god’s shoulder and added, “Having more communication is also good.”

Gu Liheng nodded.

Satisfied, Su Ling curiously asked, “What did you do with the roses after you took them back? And what about the roses I gifted after that?”

Gu Liheng looked at Su Ling, “Want to know?”

Su Ling nodded repeatedly.

Gu Liheng took Su Ling upstairs and went to the study.

This is Su Ling’s first time visiting the villa study. The study is dominated by dark colours, and the style is solemn overall. Next to the wooden desk is a large office chair. On the desk is the latest model of computer; palm-sized silver and white. Together with the water glass, they are the only 2 items with bright colour in the room.

Gu Liheng pulled the chair out and said, “Sit down.”

Su Ling glanced at him curiously and sat down. Gu Liheng took a large leather notebook from the bookshelf on the right and placed it on the desk.

Su Ling was a little surprised to see that because paper products are rare in Belle. After Gu Liheng opened the notebook, a faint scent of rose emanated from the pages. Looking at the pages covered with red petals, Su Ling’s heart beats rapidly suddenly, and he was deeply moved. He glanced at male god and touched the corner of the book. When he is about to turn the page, he saw a small handwritten line in the lower-left corner.

“Restaurant, flowers from the young man.”

Su Ling paused for a second before turning the page to realize that this is not an ordinary notebook; every page was very thick. The second page is still full of red petals, and there are also handwritten characters in the lower-left corner.

“Villa, flowers from the young man.”

This time the handwritten sentence was not neat and tidy like the first page, as if the owner was not calm when he wrote it. Su Ling turned page by page to the end. Every time a page was turned, the petals would be ended up piled together. Fortunately, the petals were all specially processed, so they are light and thin.

After he finished reading, Gu Liheng stood on the side of the desk and took the notebook. He turned from the last page where the flowers were placed, and his long, well-knotted fingers arranged the petals to its original arrangement neatly. After he finished doing so, he covered the page and pressed on the thick paper. Then he continued to do the same to the second page.

Now Su Ling knew why the petals were so neat when he looked through it. He watched in silence, male god’s temperament was actually very different from the rose, but at this moment, he felt that it is very suitable; so charming.

Gu Liheng closed the leather page and was about to put the notebook back in its original position when Su Ling reached out to circle his neck.

Su Ling got up from the seat and stood on tiptoe. Pressed Gu Liheng’s neck down, he raised his head and kissed him(GLH). After a while, he blushed and sat back in the seat, looking innocent, “You are the one who teased me.”

Such a serious person doing warm things like this and baring his heart in front of him; how could he bear it?

Gu Liheng’s fingertips on the notebook were slightly white from gripping too hard. Finally, he moved his fiery gaze away from Su Ling. After a while, he stood up straight and placed the notebook back in place. His movements were the same as usual, and his expression returned to being expressionless.

Su Ling knew that Gu Liheng was restraining himself, but after hesitating for a while, he couldn’t bear it and asked, “Do you want me to help you?”

Reaching out, Gu Liheng lifted up the stray hair from the corner of Su Ling’s eye, “No. You will feel uncomfortable.”

Su Ling sighed, and he kinda missed his previous body a little. If it was his own body back on Earth, then they could totally help each other out. However, he is an Omega now. An Omega can only be relieved from the back when the feeling struck, but his body will not be able to bear the excessive ‘exercise’. Fortunately, they have Xian Mo Yu to keep them calm.

At night, Xian Mo Yu stayed in the bedroom and twisting its roots happily. One root was guarding lovingly beside the bed; guarding its son who is sleeping soundly.

“My son is so good-looking! Hahaha, he is getting more clingy to me~”

Lóng Mo Téng: “Idiot, this is because they need your fragrance.”

Xian Mo Yu: “Being needed by my son, I am such an amazing elder!”

Lóng Mo Téng: “Stop your stupid bragging behaviour. Humph, once they manage to research the function of my vine liquid, I will be needed too!”

Su Ling woke up feeling refreshed. After breakfast, Gu Liheng accompanied him to bring Xian Mo Yu to the rehearsal.

Director Wang is a middle-aged Alpha. When he saw Gu Liheng, he was a little surprised, but soon laughed and said his greetings. He personally explained the process, “The program is divided into the introduction and interactive segment. The introduction segment only needs Xian Mo Yu to stay in place. Just don’t move and the camera can shoot at 360 degrees.”

“The interactive segment is to let the audience get a certain understanding regarding a Grade S spiritual plant’s IQ.”

Su Ling nodded, and Director Wang led him to the stage to explain where to stand. Su Ling interrupted and said, “I’ll just let Xian Mo Yu out then wait at the backstage. I won’t go on stage.”

“This… if you are not here, will Xian Mo Yu cooperate?”

Su Ling: “Yes, I’m at the back and not very far away.”

Director Wang pondered, “Let’s try it first,” and pointed to the position on the right, “Just put Xian Mo Yu here.”

When Su Ling took Xian Mo Yu out, the staffs were amazed, but soon became quiet again. One root rushed to circle Su Ling’s wrist, while another stood beside him. Su Ling lightly squeezed the root and looked at the unmoving Lóng Mo Téng before smiling. Normally, as soon as Xian Mo Yu appeared, the vines will rush towards the petals. Now the vines stayed motionless, which means it clearly knows that what Xian Mo Yu is doing is very high-profile.

Su Ling said to Xian Mo Yu, “Remember to follow the director’s instructions, I will accompany you from backstage.”

The root that was standing beside nodded, and Director Wang’s eyes flashed with excitement, “Really smart, this program will definitely hit a new high in ratings!”

Being praised, the roots swayed happily in the air.

Su Ling smiled and went to the back while Xian Mo Yu’s root stayed entangled around his wrist. He asked Director Wang, “This way I can communicate with it at any time. It won’t affect the broadcast, right?”

Director Wang: “No, it doesn’t. Other staffs can enter and exit from the left instead.”

Director Wang arranged for the staff to be in place, the host stood on the left of Xian Mo Yu, and Director Wang announced the start of the rehearsal. The rehearsal process went smoothly, with some adjustments in the details. Director Wang and the host really liked Xian Mo Yu, who was very cooperative. The host was smooth with his words and showered Xian Mo Yu with praises. Being praised, Xian Mo Yu was in a good mood the whole time, so the studio was full of its fragrance, and the staff was full of energy throughout.

The rehearsal ends before 11.30 am, and Director Wang smiled, “Thanks for your hard work. Tomorrow night, it will be broadcast at 7.30 pm. Can you come over at 6.00 pm?”

Su Ling nodded, “Yes.”

At noon, Su Ling and Gu Liheng went to a restaurant for lunch before returning to the villa. Su Ling went to the fragrance room to make fragrance while Gu Liheng sat in the corner, looking through his documents. On the other side, the spiritual plants stayed together to read.

Xian Mo Yu would drift away from time to time, it would sway around near Su Ling and turn to observe beside Gu Liheng next. After being pierced by Lóng Mo Téng a few times, it quickly retracted its roots and concentrated on learning words. At 3.00 pm, Su Ling put all the test products in the ageing device and moved his wrists. He said to Gu Liheng, “I’m going to the fitness room.”

Gu Liheng’s eyebrows moved slightly, “Now?”

Su Ling nodded, “En, I will exercise every afternoon and evening from now on. You continue to read your files, and I will take Papa Xian and Uncle Lóng away. Lopseed and Baby’s breath are here, so the smell would make you comfortable.”

Gu Liheng got up and said, “You can’t mess around with exercise, I’ll watch out for you.”

Su Ling raised his eyebrows, “Are you sure?”

Gu Liheng: “I know a lot about fitness.”

However, soon after seeing Su Ling with tight shorts, Gu Liheng can’t stay calm anymore, “You…”

Su Ling pointed to the pool, “I prefer swimming.”

Gu Liheng rubbed his eyebrows, afraid to look at Su Ling’s glowing pale skin, “Where is your top?”

Su Ling: “We are not outside in public. I don’t like to wear clothes when swimming, it makes me feel uncomfortable.”

As he said, Su Ling moved his hands and feet around. Then he stretched his feet to feel the water temperature, before diving into the swimming pool.

When Gu Liheng heard the sound of water splashes, he turned around and was charmed by what he saw. The young man was thin, but his body proportions were good. His swimming style was light, and his butterfly bones moved along with his movements, making him very attractive. Gu Liheng Adam’s apple instinctively rolled up and down, breathing slightly. He suddenly found that living with the young man who could tease him until he’s out of control at any time is kind of a sweet torture, even when the young man is not aware of his own actions.

Su Ling swam back and forth, then stopped by the side. He pushed his hair back, revealing his entire face. With his face wet with water, Su Ling looked pale and glowing. He looked up at his male god standing next to him with a smile and asked a little proudly, “Fitness expert, how was my swimming?”

Gu Liheng squatted down and raised Su Ling’s chin to drop a kiss on him. Then with a hoarse voice, he said, “Very good.”

Su Ling’s eyes curved up with a smile. His hands slipped back into the water, and he backed away lightly. With a slightly regretful tone, he said, “Unfortunately, the pool is too small, so we can’t swim smoothly. Otherwise, it would feel nicer.”

Gu Liheng beckoned, “Come here.”

Su Ling raised his eyebrows and moved closer, “It’s bad for your body if you keep holding back. I’m staying away for your good. Don’t mess around.”

Hearing that, Gu Liheng’s eyes became deep. He grabbing Su Ling’s wrist, placing two fingers on the pulse, and silently counting his heartbeats, “The outdoor swimming pool upstairs is huge, but we rarely use it. If you like it, I will get Domi to clean the pool.”

Su Ling’s eyes lit up, “I do!”

Gu Liheng nodded and let go of his hand, “Swim for another 5 minutes, then come back for me to check.”

“What are you checking?”

“Your heart rate.”

Su Ling glanced at his wrist and laughed. “Okay, fitness expert.” With a light kick on the wall of the pool, he swam away.

Gu Liheng rubbed his fingers and timed the clock with his bracelet. At the same time, he instructed Domi to clean the outdoor swimming pool.

Su Ling swam for 15 minutes and was stopped by Gu Liheng. He got up from the water, and Gu Liheng took a dry towel and draped it over him.

“Take a break every 15 minutes, and no more than 1 hour a day.” Gu Liheng said.

Su Ling smiled and nodded, “Okay, but this amount of exercise is too little. How about you teach me to play ball?”

Gu Liheng thought for a moment, “Okay.”

In the evening, Su Ling stood on the newly built court in the back garden, throwing and catching the shuttlecock in his hand, “I thought you would teach me squash or tennis.”

Gu Liheng: “Those are not suitable for you,” he glanced at Su Ling’s arm, “the force used is too strong.”

Hearing that, Su Ling raised his eyebrows, “That’s because I exercised too little. I can definitely play those with you in the future.”

A smile flashed in Gu Liheng’s eyes, and he rubbed his hair, “Okay, I’ll teach you.”

Although Su Ling is not good at badminton, he still knows how to play. But seriously, watching male god explain the sports seriously, Su Ling listened quietly with a smile.

The two played for 40 minutes, and Su Ling sweated a lot. But Gu Liheng looked like he has just warmed up. That made Su Ling more aware of the energy gap between their bodies. Hence, he made an exercise schedule before going to bed and soon fell asleep from exhaustion.

The next day, Gu Liheng took Su Ling to eat something before heading to the broadcast studio.

Banana: Sorry for the late chapter. Some morons in my workplace decided that submitting a whole bunch of requests after deadline, at the end of the year is a good idea. Apparently they also decided to submit around 300+ requests throughout Jan 2021 too, so I might miss a 2 or 3 days of releases. _(;3/

Chapter 63 – Vine liquid [OW]

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

Hearing the familiar voice from the children learning program, Su Ling smiled and sighed silently as he left the room. They really like learning very much. He looked down at the leaf in his hand and saw crystal clear liquid coming out of the cut edge. A faint scent came out, but soon he couldn’t smell that scent anymore. It seemed to have mixed together with Xian Mo Yu’s fragrance or simply disappeared into thin air.

That makes him wondered, could it be the scent has assimilated with Xian Mo Yu’s fragrance, or it has hidden itself? Thinking of Lóng Mo Téng’s characteristic in disguising itself, he felt that these two guesses seemed possible. He took out a glass bottle and carefully collected the liquid, then turned to ask Gu Liheng’s opinion.

Gu Liheng: “Try mixing the liquid with other spiritual plant’s essential oils and see the effect.”

Su Ling agreed with Gu Liheng’s suggestion and walked to his workbench. He took 2 drops of rose essential oil and placed it on the porcelain dish. The light yellow liquid looked particularly beautiful on the pure white porcelain, with a faint rose fragrance. He took 2 more drops of the vine liquid. The transparent vine liquid seemed to disappear on the porcelain dish; one could only notice it from the slight light reflection. Su Ling attentively monitored the two scents. Soon, he found that the vine liquid scent has disappeared, leaving the scent of rose in the air. Su Ling used his index finger and dipped a little bit of vine liquid to smell under his nose; there was no fragrance.

“There is no fragrance, that means the fragrance has hidden itself.” If it was assimilation, the liquid itself should be smelling like the rose essential oil.

As Su Ling said that, he shook the porcelain dish to mix the two liquids. Soon, the scent from the rose essential oil disappeared, leaving only Xian Mo Yu’s fragrance and the other 2 Grade A spiritual plants’ fragrance in the air. Su Ling was taken aback and told Gu Liheng, “There isn’t any scent coming from the porcelain dish. I don’t know if the two scents have reacted to each other, or the vine liquid has hidden the scent of the rose essential oil.”

Gu Liheng: “I’ll get someone to send the separator device over. We’ll know what happened after doing a few more tests.”

Su Ling smiled, “En.”

He continued to experiment with mixing different essential oils with the vine liquid, and the results were the same. When the two liquids were not mixed, only the essential oil’s fragrance was present, while the fragrance of the vine liquid would soon disappear. After mixing both together, there would be no fragrance at all. After the separator device is delivered, Su Ling separates the mixed liquid. The result is the essential oil retained its own fragrance, and the vine liquid doesn’t have any scent. After a moment of consideration, Su Ling held the vine liquid and said, “I’ll go to the next room to try it, there are too many scents here interfering with my sense.”

The two went to the next room; the room’s air was very clean, without any smell. Gradually, a faint fragrance radiated from the vine liquid. After Su Ling took it back to the fragrance room, the vine liquid’s scent disappeared inside the various scents in the air. Su Ling held the glass bottle containing the vine liquid and said, “It can hide its scent, while its body can change its shape. No wonder Uncle Lóng has such a strong camouflage ability.” He said, squinting his eyes and looking at Gu Liheng, “I want to try whether this function is useful for masking pheromones.”

Gu Liheng: “I will try it instead.”

Su Ling laughed and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t mess around. I will ask Uncle Lóng first.”

He walked to Xian Mo Yu’s petals and gently pinched Lóng Mo Téng’s leaves on the petals, “Uncle Lóng, can human drink the liquid in your leaves?”

A big word appeared in his mind, “No.”

After that, many pictures flashed in his mind, all of which were animals’ appearance with wildly grown hair and claws after they ingested some of Lóng Mo Téng leaves. The final mental picture was a human. Su Ling’s scalp went numb from seeing that. All kind of the man’s body hairs have grown so long that it’s scary; like his facial hair, eyelashes and the ones on his hands. The man looked like a hairy walking figure. He immediately asked, “What if I accidentally drink it?”

Lóng Mo Téng sensed Su Ling’s mood swings and rubbed his hand with its leaf.

Another picture appeared in Su Ling’s mind. The image showed Lóng Mo Téng resting on top of a super large rainbow-coloured lotus. The lotus gradually shrank and finally stopped at a diameter of about 1 meter. Su Ling asked, “You absorb it back?”

The leaves moved up and down.

Su Ling: “I just did some experiments with your vine liquid. It seems that your special liquid can hide its own scent as well as other plant’s scents.”

“Yup.” Lóng Mo Téng wrote a word in his mind.

Su Ling: “…” He suddenly felt that maybe he should ask Uncle Lóng right at the beginning.

Just as he is thinking about it, Su Ling found that Xian Mo Yu’s fragrance has suddenly disappeared. Because of that, the pheromones with red wine scent not far away suddenly became obvious; warm and sultry. His heartbeat quickly accelerated, and his hands were resting on the petals as he panted lightly. Earlier, both male god and he had removed their isolator when they got home because Xian Mo Yu is there; relaxing their glands will make them feel better. However, without Xian Mo Yu’s fragrance at this moment, their pheromone reacted instantly.

The vine leaves shook as Lóng Mo Téng explained to Su Ling, “Hiding one’s fragrance is very simple.”

Needless to say, Su Ling found out about that the hard way. The sudden disappearance Xian Mo Yu’s fragrance has caught Su Ling off guard. Gu Liheng hugged him from behind, and his body trembled uncontrollably when he(GLH) touched him. Thinking the 2 spiritual plants with high IQ in front of him, Su Ling felt extremely embarrassed and was more sensitive than usual. His feet turned soft, and he rested most of his weight on the petals. Xian Mo Yu’s petals were very fleshy but very textured and strong. Grabbing Gu Liheng’s hand, Su Ling took a deep breath and said, “Uncle Lóng, don’t hide Papa Xian’s fragrance.”

Soon, Xian Mo Yu’s scent appeared in the air again.

Gu Liheng restrained himself and kissed Su Ling’s gland. He slowly let go of him, and his voice was deep as he said, “I’ll return to my room.”

Su Ling’s face turned red, and he didn’t dare to turn his head. If he sees the man’s aro-used expression right now, he definitely wouldn’t be able to help himself and pounce on male god. But he knew very well that his body couldn’t take it, so their love life has to stay plain temporarily.

He nodded, “En.”

With Xian Mo Yu and Lóng Mo Téng in the room, Gu Liheng is assured of Su Ling’s safety. He gave Su Ling a hot look before quickly left the room. He knew that by staying here, the young man would lose control, and he wouldn’t be able to deny his enthusiastic Omega. But he just did it with the young man not very long ago, plus today he suffered a fright so they shouldn’t mess around.

After Gu Liheng left, Su Ling calmed down quickly, breathing in Xian Mo Yu’s fragrance.

“Do you want to come up?” The petals under Su Ling’s hands moved up and down slightly, and the words from Xian Mo Yu appeared in his mind.

Su Ling coughed awkwardly, Xian Mo Yu probably misunderstood because he looked like he is almost lying down on the petals. He stood up straight and said, “No need.”

Xian Mo Yu seems a little pitiful, “My petals are very strong, you can sit on it.”

Su Ling touched the surface of the petals, “It’s really not necessary. I have something to ask Uncle Lóng.”

He looked at Lóng Mo Téng and observed it carefully. He pinched its stem and looked at it, only to find that the stem part closest to the petals has small white roots connected to the petals. He subconsciously rubbed his wrist and asked, “Uncle Lóng, do you have to touch other spiritual plants to control their fragrances?”

The leaves moved up and down.

“Then when you are on my wrist, can you hide my pheromone as well?”

The leaf nodded again.

Su Ling’s eyes brightened, “Can your vine liquid do the same? Hide the pheromone smell?”

“I don’t know,” Lóng Mo Téng wrote slowly and neatly, although some words were lacking some strokes here and there, Su Ling could still understand the meaning easily, “my vine liquid is a growth fluid.” It added, “You can sell it to farmers, don’t just keep it. I will give some to you every day from now on, and you sell it as my pocket-money to you.”

Su Ling: “…Thank you, Uncle Lóng.”

Leaves rubbed his palm as words appeared in Su Ling’s mind, “This is what Uncle should do.”

Su Ling wanted to laugh and felt moved again. It seems that the reason Papa Xian gave him black and red liquid, is probably to ‘raise’ him. He thought he was raising the spiritual plants, but he got raised instead. He caressed the leaf and asked, “Uncle Lóng, how old are you?”

“1685 years old.”

Su Ling was stunned, “How about Papa Xian?”

“Almost the same. That fool, it doesn’t remember its exact age.”

Su Ling felt that called them Papa Xian Uncle Lóng is really suitable. He curiously asked, “Then you must have known many people?”

“No,” Lóng Mo Téng answered and said, “We have been living in primaeval forests, and our predecessors do not approve of our contact with humans.”

“We only travelled out in groups when we reached 1000 years old. It started to be a novel experience. Human society is fascinating. We stayed hidden as we learned about human’s knowledge and observed human’s life, but we were discovered later.”

Lóng Mo Téng went on to write after a while, “I don’t like humans.”

Su Ling realised that they should have encountered unpleasant things at the time.

Lóng Mo Téng added, “We will raise you to your death and return to the forest.”

Su Ling’s mouth twitched, “Raise me to my death?”

“En, your Papa Xian and I will take good care of you and raise you. We will only leave when you reached the end of your life. We will be good elders in your life.”

Su Ling pursed his lips. Facing such a responsible elder, he couldn’t feel at ease, “I am a human. Do you also think I am Papa Xian’s son?”

Lóng Mo Téng: “If it thinks you are, then you are. You have its breath, our breath, only our offspring will inherit it.”

Su Ling suddenly thought about it and said, “Thank you, but if you ever felt unhappy, you can just return to the forest anytime. I am an adult and can take care of myself.”

“In our eyes, you are still a seedling,” Lóng Mo Téng said, “I have promised your Papa Xian, and will stay here to protect you with together with it. I have been staying on that big tree for almost 20 years, and it has been quite fun recently.”

Su Ling smiled, “That’s good. Tell me if you need to go.”

“Remember to tell Uncle Lóng and your Papa Xian if you lack money. We will find a way.”

Su Ling quickly said, “Not lacking, I am rich now.”

After communicating with Lóng Mo Téng, Su Ling can no longer treat them as spiritual plants, but as non-human intelligent creature friends, or as elders. He returned to his workbench and stared at the vine liquid in the glass bottle. After a moment of thought, he poured some on his hand and wiped it on the back of his neck. Covered by the vine liquid, his gland didn’t feel any discomfort. On the contrary, it felt very comfortable. After a while, the scent of his pheromone disappeared. His eyes lit up instantly, but soon, the vine juice vaporised and his pheromone scent appeared again. If there is a way to keep the vine juice from vaporising, the vine liquid can replace the isolator! Unlike the isolator that makes the gland feel blocked, the vine liquid has no side effects.

The finding stirred Su Ling’s heart. He hates using the isolator; his gland always feels stuffy and constrained. When not using the isolator, his gland relaxes and become more sensitive to other people’s pheromones. He clearly felt that when male god didn’t have the isolator on, he is much more relaxed than usual. He thought for a while and sent a message to Ni An, “Doctor Ni An, is there any liquid material with super strong water locking function?”

Ni An replied, “Are you using for skincare or something else?”

Su Ling: “It’s not skincare!” He then described the effect of vine liquid, “I want to use it instead of an isolator.”

After he sent the message, he immediately received a call from Ni An. Ni An was excited as he said, “The liquid in your hand, can you give it to me to study?”

Su Ling smiled and said, “Yes, but I thought you were busy studying the black liquid.”

“I am an expert in glands, and experts in the dark matter now take over the black liquid research.” He smiled, “When I first studied the black liquid, I was experimenting it for the glands, but it was too corrosive. Later I discovered the effect by accident after I chatted with my friends about the stubborn dark matter wounds and particle.” He said, “The liquid you mentioned just now can affect pheromones, so I am more interested in it.”

Su Ling suggested, “Shall I mail it to you?”

“Okay, and can you reveal the source of the liquid?” Ni An asked.

Su Ling thought silently in his heart; it is a spiritual plant that doesn’t want to be known. But, it has already been known worldwide, and the number of people is enormous! He said, “Sorry.”

Ni An: “It doesn’t matter; I will still keep it secret.”

Chapter 62 – Investigation [OW]

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

After Gu Liheng said that, he took Su Ling to the spiritual plant room. 3 minutes later, Xian Mo Yu sat at the side of the master bedroom near the balcony, exuding a pleasant fragrance. With its roots soaking in the nutrient solution, Xian Mo Yu happily enjoyed its time watching cartoons with its friends.

Gu Liheng embraced Su Ling in his arms, both of them have removed their isolator, but they were not affected by their pheromones. Their compatibility rate is relatively high, but they had intimate activities last night so basking in Xian Mo Yu’s fragrance, their state is very stable.

Su Ling rested his head on Gu Liheng’s shoulders, his eyes slightly curved as he sighed, “It’s so comfortable.”

There isn’t anything covering his gland, and it feels great to cuddle with male god. Gu Liheng gently rubbed his black hair. In his heart, Su Ling sighed in admiration towards Papa Xian’s powers. All of a sudden, as if he thought of something, he turned around and smiled at male god, “Actually, there is another way.”

Gu Liheng’s fingers paused, and his jaw slightly stiffened; he knew what Su Ling meant.

Su Ling continued, “If we did permanent marking, our pheromones would be in a stable state, except during estrus and susceptibility periods. Moreover, our stable state will apply not only between us but also when we smelled other AO pheromones.” Su Ling sat cross-legged and looked at Gu Liheng face to face, “Am I right?”

Gu Liheng acknowledged with a low En.

Squinting his eyes, Su Ling moved closer to Gu Liheng, “You don’t want to mark me permanently?”

Gu Liheng’s cheeks and jaws were stiff, and his expression was tight.

Su Ling touched the side of Gu Liheng’s neck, “So you planned not to marry me before you are healed, but also not to give me a permanent marking?”

Gu Liheng’s Adam’s apple moved up and down, and he reached out to grab the hand that has gradually shifted towards his gland. His voice was low and hoarse as he explained, “If I marked you permanently, you would completely rely on me, and I will crazily want to monopolize you. Unless you forcefully erase my marking, you can only be with me. Erasing a permanent marking is very painful.”

Gu Liheng’s words combining with his magnetic manly voice made Su Ling’s heart beats out of rhythm. Su Ling met his focused eyes for 2 seconds before smiling and stepped back.

“Listening to your words, I felt like I want to be completely marked by you.”

Upon hearing that, Gu Liheng’s breathing hitched, and he looked away, “You should take a nap.”

Su Ling chuckled because he changed the subject abruptly. But he followed his wishes and did not continue the topic. He knew very well that male god was thinking for him. He(GLH) was worried that his illness could not be cured and wouldn’t be able to give him(SL) happiness, so he wanted to leave some room for future changes. Su Ling’s heart felt soft and full of warmth as he lay down obediently on Gu Liheng’s side. Then he pulled at his hands and said, “You should rest too.”

After Gu Liheng lay down, Su Ling said, “I will visit your doctor with you this afternoon.”

“Alright.” Gu Liheng replied.

Su Ling closed his eyes and went to sleep with satisfaction. Gu Liheng looked at the young man beside him with affection and apologies. The young man disregarded an omega’s reservedness and took the initiative to go further with him, but he refused him. Whether rejecting the young man’s request or going against his own heart, it made him very uncomfortable.

Xian Mo Yu’s roots swayed in the nutrient solution, “My daughter-in-law is not sleeping and just stared at my son. What is he doing? Could it be he want to eat my son secretly?”

Lóng Mo Téng: “Idiot, people don’t eat people. Be honest with me, when I was sleeping, did you want to eat me?”

“Of course not,” Xian Mo Yu replied and added, “just only when I was young. I stared at you and just want to absorb a little vine liquid.”

Lóng Mo Téng’s leaves pierced into Xian Mo Yu’s petals, “Asshole, that’s why I wondered how can you grow so fast!”

“It’s only a little bit, you’re so stingy,” Xian Mo Yu’s roots wrapped around the vine, “You can produce new vine liquid every day, why keep it to yourself?”

“If I don’t keep it, how can I instantly become big and save your son today?”

“But you went out of control later because of too much vine liquid!” Xian Mo Yu shook its roots, “You should give my son some vine liquid every day, that’s like you are giving my son some pocket money.”

Xian Mo Yu clicked on the holographic screen, “See, humans uncle gives the kids pocket money,
and New Year’s angpow.”

Lóng Mo Téng: “Didn’t I gave one already? I gave a huge meeting gift.”

Xian Mo Yu: “My son still haven’t sold it, it’s in the space storage! Forget it, don’t give any. It’s useless anyway if my son can’t sell it.”

“It’s impossible!” Lóng Mo Téng’s leaves glowed slightly, “It must be my nephew who is reluctant to sell.”

“Yes,” Xian Mo Yu persuaded, “if you generously give more, maybe he will be willing to sell it.”

Lóng Mo Téng: “That’s rare, you actually speak some logic.”

Xian Mo Yu’s roots shook, “I’m super smart!”

Su Ling didn’t know that during his afternoon nap, his cheap[1] father has wrangled some benefits from his cheap uncle. When he woke up, he saw Gu Liheng sitting on the sofa looking at the holographic screen with a serious face. A root was standing beside Gu Liheng, not knowing what he was watching. Su Ling walked to the sofa and sat down, putting his hand on male god’s shoulder. Then the root moved to circle his wrist, and he lightly squeezed it with his fingers. Glancing at the holographic screen, he asked, “Is this the result of the investigation?”

Gu Liheng uttered an En, and smoothed his sleepy hair, “Nothing suspicious found for the time being.”

“The two Omegas heard that Xiào Rui and I were in the sports centre, so they waited for us at the entrance. We couldn’t find the person who spread the news yet.”

Su Ling raised his eyebrows when he heard this, “It seems that I will have to pay more attention to you in the future. As the president of the Gu family, and with such handsome appearance, there must be many people who have intentions for you.”

Gu Liheng looked at Su Ling, “You are the only one who confessed to me in the past 3 years.”

Su Ling’s eyes narrowed slightly, “You are being dishonest, didn’t Zhao Qi also confessed to you? There must be someone else as well?”

“I only noticed your confession.” Gu Liheng said seriously.

Su Ling couldn’t help laughing, “Mr Gu, your sweet words are too right up to my alley.”

“It’s not sweet words,” Gu Liheng stated solemnly.

Su Ling smiled deeper and turned the topic to business, “How about those drunkard Alphas?”

“Someone paid them to teach the 2 Omegas a lesson, who were said to be cheating in an affair. That person told the men about it in a bar’s bathroom, no monitoring available.”

Su Ling: “The so-called lesson is meant for you and Xiào Rui see it, to hold you back?”

“En, the accident inside the sports centre led to a large number of security guards going there. There were few security guards at the main entrance, resulting in slow support. Hence, we were held back.”

Su Ling touched his chin, “So, this accident is aimed either at Meng Meng or me.”

Gu Liheng’s face was slightly dark, and he held Su Ling’s hand tightly, “To aim at you or Lin Meng, it means to target Xiào Rui and me. Any Alpha will be hit hard by trauma from witnessing his Omega getting into an accident in front of him.”

Su Ling remembered Mother Gu’s worry, fearing that he would become the male god’s weakness. Fortunately, nothing happened to him. He asked, “Where is the truck driver?”

“He is currently in a severe coma and couldn’t provide any useful information. The navigation system in the car has been checked to look up the route of the car, and no visible manipulation found.”

“However, that truck transports equipment to the centre regularly. It will take the same route every time, and the time is fixed.”

Su Ling: “No matter what it is, it shows that the other party has a clear picture of our whereabouts.”

As he said that, his bracelet rang. After reading it, he showed the message to Gu Liheng. He said, “The Minister of Security reassured me that they, in cooperation with the Ministry of Transport, are searching for suspicious targets near our car in the morning.” He smiled, “This kind of carpet search is a lot of work, but there should be results soon. Don’t worry, let’s go to the hospital (to see your doctor).”

Gu Liheng: “Not a hospital, but a private clinic.”

Before departure, Gu Liheng transferred 4 members from the Snow Leopard team and told Su Ling, “Before the investigation results come out, you must bring bodyguards when you go out.”

Su Ling didn’t want him to worry and nodded, “Okay.”

Before getting in the car, a root emerged from the previous hole in the ground again, entangled Su Ling’s legs. Some words appeared in his mind, “Go together.”

Su Ling reluctantly returned to the spiritual plants room and put the plants in his space storage, but Lóng Mo Téng was still wrapped around his wrist. He touched the emerald green leaves and asked, “Is it boring to stay at home?”

Lóng Mo Téng wrote three words in his mind, “To protect you.”

Su Ling was stunned. No wonder Lóng Mo Téng is always wrapped around his wrist. He can imagine if Xian Mo Yu could shrink itself as well, it would probably stay next to him too. Moved, Su Ling lightly pinched the leaves and said, “Thank you.”

He and Gu Liheng plus 4 Snow Leopard members; 6 men and 2 vehicles, arrived at Mill’s clinic. Su Ling glanced at the psychiatrist’s sign, took Gu Liheng’s hand, and smiled at him.

Gu Liheng’s expression was much more relaxed, “I’m fine.”

The two walked into Dr Mill’s private consulting room.

Mill was surprised when he saw Su Ling and quickly laughed in relief. After greeted each other, Mill asked Gu Liheng about his current situation in a gentle voice. He asked carefully, including Gu Liheng’s diet, sleep, reactions to different people, whether he smiled, and his subsequent reactions.

Gu Liheng answered one by one, and Su Ling listened carefully. After listening, he felt that there is no problem with male god.

Mill’s expression is relaxed as he said, “Your situation is much better than last time.” He got up, “But we still need to do some checking.” He looked at Su Ling, “You can’t go in the examination room, just wait here.”

Su Ling nodded, he shook Gu Liheng’s hand and released it. Gu Liheng glanced at him and went in for the checking. About half an hour later, Gu Liheng came out. Su Ling could not see any useful information from his expression.

Mill: “His situation is much better. Maintain the current pace of life, make more friends, relax, and continue to exercise. It will get better and better.”

Su Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and they left the clinic after Gu Liheng thanked Mill. Back at the villa, Su Ling hugged Gu Liheng and looked up at him: “Why are you upset, aren’t things are getting better and better?”

“Sorry, I was too rushed with my treatment.” Gu Liheng gently brushed away the stray hair from the corner of Su Ling’s eye.

Su Ling laughed, “What’s the rush? I’m here with you, and I won’t run away. Plus you’re pretty good now. It would be better if your illness doesn’t affect the quality of your sleep.” His eyes curved as he added, “But it doesn’t matter, I am here anyway.”

The young man was so perfect that Gu Liheng couldn’t hold back. He bowed his head and kissed him.

Su Ling’s eyelashes trembled slightly, “Let’s go to the fragrance room?”

Gu Liheng nodded, “Okay.”

All the fragrance making equipment they purchased before was placed next to the guest room, so Su Ling used that room as the fragrance room. Upon entering, Su Ling took out the spiritual plants and put Lopseed and Baby’s breath in the corner. Next, he let Xian Mo Yu out, and Lóng Mo Téng leapt from his wrist to Xian Mo Yu’s petals.

Taking out the leaf Lóng Mo Téng gifted to him, Su Ling said, “I want to study its efficacy.”

Gu Liheng: “Need help?”

Su Ling: “En, try the effect with me in a while.”

He gestured, preparing to divide the leaves into two; half to be used for making essential oil, and the other for spare. However, he found that it’s very difficult to cut the leaf. Su Ling remembered the scene where Lóng Mo Téng’s leaves could cut car tyres into pieces and touched the Lóng Mo Téng’s leaves, “Uncle Lóng, can you help cut it into half?”

The vine stretched, and a leaf turned to slash the leaf in Su Ling’s hand. The leaf broke in the middle.

Su Ling: “It’s amazing!”

Lóng Mo Téng retracted back to the main vine, and its leaves were shining slightly.

“Have you heard? My nephew praised me.” The leaves touched Xian Mo Yu’s roots.

“My son praised me too before,” the roots twisted happily, “My son is really similar like me. We both think that you are super awesome!”

Lóng Mo Téng’s leaves flashed lightly and tapped to start the computer. “Idiot, praising me is no use. You still won’t be allowed to watch the drama on the television. Tell me, do you know how to write all the words?”

Xian Mo Yu: “Not all.”

“Study hard then.” Lóng Mo Téng clicked on a children cartoon for learning words.

[1] This is one of those chinese words that doesn’t translate well into English. The word ‘cheap’ here is not actually derogatory, it’s more like ‘undeserved benefits’. _(;3/ Means SL got it cheap, getting a new dad and uncle without any troubles.

Chapter 61 – It’s Son [OW]

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

Son?

Su Ling was stunned by the statement. Isn’t it just an illusion when he said he felt like he is raising a bunch of kids? But Xian Mo Yu has always regarded him as its father? He thought for a while and thought that the possibility is relatively high. Xian Mo Yu followed him out of the mountain and was very close to him, almost obedient. But this is wrong, so he corrected it, “You are not my son, I am a human, you…”

Before he finished speaking, the roots that were rubbing against him earlier bent outwards and bounced back to slap his forehead. Many roots stood up and shaking in dissatisfaction.

“I am your father!”

Su Ling looked at 4 big words and was stunned. For a moment, a thought ran through his mind, “Maybe Xian Mo Yu’s grammar is not enough”. However, looking at Xian Mo Yu’s reaction, he realized that what Xian Mo Yu wanted to express is precisely these words, and the order of the pronouns was correct.

“No, have you misunderstood? I am a human, not a spiritual plant.” Su Ling explained.

“You are son!” Xian Mo Yu shared a crying expression in his mind.

Su Ling doesn’t know if he should laugh or cry. Then some pictures flashed in his mind, and he subconsciously touched the back of his neck, “The thing that is in my body, is it your seed?”

All of Xian Mo Yu’s roots nodded together. Then they entangled Su Ling’s wrist, nudging affectionately, “Same breath as me.”

Su Ling is very sensitive to scent. He knows that apart from his pheromone smell, there’s no other scent on his body. However, looking at Xian Mo Yu’s words, he guessed that maybe he got affected by the seed somehow, and his body had undergone a change unnoticeable by human, which only the spiritual plant could feel. That’s why his affinity with spiritual plants is very high. He looked at Xian Mo Yu with a complicated expression. It turned out that Xian Mo Yu was so good to him because it regarded him as its son!

Xian Mo Yu gently pulled at his wrist, and 2 words appeared in his mind: “Call Papa,” then a root bent to point at Lóng Mo Téng, “Call Uncle.”

Su Ling: “…” Other people will think he is crazy.

Su Ling didn’t speak for a while, so Xian Mo Yu drew a crying expression again, and at the same time, cried to its little friend.

“My son refused to call me ‘Papa’ or you ‘Uncle’. Does he blame me for not being there for him during his growth…”

Lóng Mo Téng: “Stop your stupid crying, and you are not allowed to watch any dramas at night again.”

Looking at the limp roots, Su Ling stretched out his hand and lightly squeezed, “How about I call you ‘Xiao Xian’ and Lóng Mo Téng ‘Xiao Lóng’? That sounds closer, right?” Calling spiritual plants as father and uncle is too strange.

The roots lifted up and stood in front of him, neither swaying nor nodding, as if it is considering the suggestion.

Lóng Mo Téng broke off from one of its petals and circled one end around Su Ling’s wrist. Next, 3 big words appeared in Su Ling’s mind, “Call Uncle Lóng.”

Lóng Mo Téng used its leaves to operate the computer, and the holographic screen expands,
facing Su Ling.

Lin Meng, who had been watching curiously, pulled Su Ling’s arm and said, “Wow, a lot of people are discussing Lóng Mo Téng, haha, some people even call it Father!”

Su Ling looked at the holographic screen. It was a replay of the scene where Lóng Mo Téng rescued him and Lin Meng, but the video was almost obscured by the enlarged barrage of comments. He suspected that Lóng Mo Téng is reading the comments rather than watching the video.

“It’s so cool, Father spiritual plant, please gift me with a leaf. From now on, I will be your loyal fan.”

“Does anyone know the name of my Father spiritual plant?”

The video soon reached the part where Xian Mo Yu sprayed its poison, and the front corner of the car melted. Then the barrage of comments immediately changed direction.

“Ah! My Father Xian Mo Yu is so handsome!”

“Too strong, Father Xian Mo Yu! As expected of the corrosive liquid that could clear dark matters from space!”

The corner of Su Ling’s mouth twitched. It seems that calling spiritual plant as Father is quite normal? Any living being is qualified to be called Father if it’s awesome enough. He suddenly felt that calling Xian Mo Yu Papa seemed okay.

The roots breathed bad breath toward the holographic screen and turned to express some affection to its son, “I only have you as my son; they are not!”

Lin Meng pinched his nose and took a step back, “What’s wrong with it? Is it unhappy that other people are calling it Father?”

Su Ling awkwardly muttered an En and squeezed the roots, feeling a little emotional. ‘Father’ has a special meaning to him because someone with this role has never appeared in his life before. He had longed for it, but then he stopped wishing. After he transmigrated to Planet Belle, he has Father Su, but that man is only an identity. He never regarded Father Su as his father.

Xian Mo Yu continued, “I will make money to support you. I didn’t mean to ignore you when you were young. I have been looking for you for a long time.”

After reading the words, Su Ling asked, “Are your seeds hard to come by?”

Xian Mo Yu shared some mental images with him. The images moved very fast, like a movie on fast forward. The seasons changed many times in the movie, and finally, a seed emerged from within Xian Mo Yu’s flower bud. After this, Xian Mo Yu began to accumulate nutrients for the growth of the seed. After it absorbs the nutrients, it will condense the nutrients from the stamens, similar to how it releases its black liquid. But the nutrients are solid particles, similar to the seed. Because the nutrition is in the form of essence, the accumulation process is very long. Later, when Xian Mo Yu was accumulating the nutrients, it encountered Redthorn Ball and the other 2 spiritual plants. It tried to eat them, and the plants released their poison, trying to resist. That was the moment when Mother Qin appeared. Xian Mo Yu gave up on the spiritual plants but accidentally left its seed and some of the nutrient pellets behind. When it came back to search, the 3 plants and Mother Qin were gone. Thus, it began a long journey of searching for its seed.

Su Ling stroked Xian Mo Yu’s root on his wrist and felt sorry for it. It really spent a lot of energy on the seed. Obviously, it was looking forward to its ‘son’ very much. Well, it’s not bad for Xian Mo Yu to treat him as its son; at least it won’t feel disappointed or sad. And as Xian Mo Yu said, he has the same breath as its seed.

Smiling, Su Ling asked, “If you like it, how about I call you ‘Papa Xian’ and Lóng Mo Téng ‘Uncle Lóng’?”

Xian Mo Yu’s roots twisted happily while Lóng Mo Téng’s leaves shone slightly and rubbed its leaves against the back of Su Ling’s hand. Then it swiftly moved back to the petals to continue playing with the computer.

Lin Meng was at a loss, “I thought it doesn’t like to be called Father?”

Su Ling: “That doesn’t include me.”

Lin Meng stared at the roots and muttered, “Papa Xian…”

A root slapped his forehead but did not leave immediately and wrote, “Call ‘Uncle’.”

Xian Mo Yu was not very used to sending mental words, but now it realized that direct communication is too convenient.

Lin Meng stared at Su Ling, “It…it can write!”

Su Ling pointed to the computer, “En, they learned how to write recently.”

“It’s amazing!” Lin Meng was envious as he said, “I communicated with some Grade A spiritual plants before. They mainly share emotions and simple images to communicate.”

While talking, Gu Liheng walked in, “It’s time for lunch.”

The four of them ate lunch, and Xiào Rui left with Lin Meng afterward. Su Ling returned to the spiritual plant room. He wanted to ask something earlier but didn’t do so due to Lin Meng in the room.

“Papa Xian, are you afraid of fire?”

The roots nodded.

When the scene where Mother Qin appeared, Su Ling saw something that would be seen as strange in Planet Belle. She was holding a torch instead of a lighting device. Xian Mo Yu left the scene right away, and combining with the fact that Mother Qin couldn’t be a threat to Xian Mo Yu, Su Ling guessed that its departure is related to fire. This is probably the reason why Mother Qin, an Omega, dared to enter the forest alone. She seemed to know the forest very well.

“How many people know that you are afraid of fire?” He asked.

Xian Mo Yu: “Not many. Few people know about us.”

Su Ling: “I will keep it secret, and you don’t let anyone know either.”

The roots nodded.

Su Ling stayed for a while and left upon seeing the two plants get together to play the computer. He walked to his room for an afternoon nap and receive a message from Director Wang from the science program.

“Mr. Su, when are you free? Xian Mo Yu’s attention has reached a new high today. I want to arrange your show as soon as possible.”

Su Ling thought for a while before replying, “I’ll be free from tomorrow, but let me say this first. Normal science content is fine, but there won’t be any live hunting process.”

“I have contacted the association and obtained relevant information. Also, I have adjusted the program’s process. I will send the details to you now. If there is no problem, can you come to rehearse tomorrow? It will be broadcast live the day after tomorrow.”

Su Ling thought for a while, “Okay.”

After that, Su Ling went to the living room to read the information with Gu Liheng. Gu Liheng suggested, “Try to avoid being in the camera as much as possible.”

Su Ling thought about today’s accident and agreed with an En, “Okay, I’ll just let Papa Xian send a root out in the background.”

“Papa Xian?” Gu Liheng asked.

Hearing Gu Liheng’s question, Su Ling was slightly embarrassed. He let out a light cough and talked about the connection between Xian Mo Yu and him. He said that with a smile unconsciously revealed in his eyes, “Actually, at my age now, I got more advantage from our connection.”

Gu Liheng put his palm on the back of Su Ling’s neck, “Is there any unusual feelings in normal times?”

Su Ling shrank his neck subconsciously and said with a smile, “Does it count as unusual if I particularly wanted you to take a bite there?”

Gu Liheng’s fingers stiffened slightly, and his eyes turned deep, “You will not be able to stand it.”

Su Ling palmed his forehead and agreed, “You were right. I have no energy left from last night’s activities plus today’s swimming.” He got up and walked to the guest room, “It’s probably better for us to sleep separately during our afternoon nap.”

Gu Liheng caught hold of Su Ling’s hand, unwilling to separate from his Omega. Then he said, “I have an idea.”

Chapter 60 – Debut appearance [OW]

Please don’t retranslate from my English version and don’t repost in Wattpad for your ‘offline’ reading pleasure.
Sorry that the release got delayed, Banana set the chapter to release on 16th Dec but it didn’t release. I didn’t realize until now _(;3/

The swimming pool and the sports centre are just next to each other, but the building style was completely different. The shape of the sports centre is spherical. The sphere at the gate is concave and protrudes on both sides, so Su Ling and Lin Meng can’t see the centre’s entrance at all. Fortunately, they were not too far away. They ran along the left wing and soon saw the entrance. Not far away, a group of Alpha is fighting.

Su Ling frowned, and Lin Meng’s face was uglier than him, “Alpha’s pheromone.”

Su Ling acknowledged with an En. From the mixed Alpha pheromones, he can easily distinguish that it belongs to 5 different Alphas, and male god’s scent was not in it. Staring hard at the fighting crowd, he quickly found Gu Liheng. Gu Liheng’s face was cold, and he punched very fast, seemingly not injured.

“Ah Rui!” Lin Meng exclaimed when he saw someone throwing a fist at Xiào Rui.

At the same time, Su Ling heard a violent crash and screeching sound of friction behind him. He turned his head, and his pupils shrank from what he saw. A truck seemed to have lost control and ran full speed on the roadside shrubs, quickly approaching him and Lin Meng.

“AH…” Lin Meng screamed out in fright when he turned back from the noise.

Gu Liheng and Xiào Rui turned to look at them immediately.

Su Ling subconsciously pulled Lin Meng forward to run, but in just a few steps, the sharp sound of tires rubbing against the ground sounded very near to his ears. At that moment, Su Ling’s mind was blank; the distance was too close, it’s impossible to run away.

“Ling Ling!” Gu Liheng kicked away the person in front of him and ran to Su Ling.

“Meng Meng!” Xiào Rui’s expression suddenly changed, and he ran to Lin Meng recklessly but was blocked by someone. That man followed Xiào Rui’s gaze and glanced back and became speechless.

Huge vines that have never been seen suddenly appeared out of nowhere. One end of the vine wrapped around the second floor of the swimming pool and the other end spread to the edge of the sports centre, tightly entwining the out-of-control truck. The outer of all 4 car tires were cut by the leaves in the blink of an eye, spilling the debris on the ground. At the same time, the entire truck was pulled back in the air, as if taking off in the opposite direction. When the truck is about to hit the swimming pool building, the vines loosened, and the truck landed with a BANG, like thunder.

Lin Meng knelt on the ground with a thud; Su Ling was no better than him, using all his energies to stay standing. However, because he was holding hands with Lin Meng, he was pulled downwards once Lin Meng knelt down and couldn’t hold himself up again. He knelt down with soft legs, and in front of him were tire fragments scattering everywhere.

He almost got hit.

His heart was beating wildly as if it is about to jump out of his chest in the next second.

“Ling Ling,” Gu Liheng rushed over, knelt down on one foot in front of him. He stretched out his hand to hug Su Ling but stopped when he is about to touch him(SL). His voice tense as he asked, “Are you hurt anywhere?”

Su Ling grabbed Gu Liheng’s hand and fell on him, “I didn’t get hurt, but I was super scared, and my feet are soft.”

Gu Liheng hugged Su Ling tightly, with his palm against the side of his(SL) neck, feeling his strong pulse.

When Xiào Rui ran over, Lin Meng threw himself into his arms and burst into tears, “Ah Rui, I was scared to death. I thought I am dead for sure.”

Distress was shown on Xiào Rui’s face, and his hand was lightly touching the back of Lin Meng’s head as he comforted, “Don’t be afraid, you’re all right now.”

The sound of police sirens and ambulance could be heard approaching nearer, and the manager of the sports centre ran over with two security guards. The manager was sweating cold sweat from seeing what happened.

“President Gu, Young master Xiào, all the troublemakers have been arrested. I’m really sorry that something happened in the sports centre and the security team could not provide timely support.”

Gu Liheng said solemnly, “I want to the specifics of what happened in the centre.”

“Yes, yes, the recording of our CCTV will be sent to you by our personnel soon.” The manager responded quickly.

A patrol police car stopped on the roadside, and 4 tall Alpha police officers got out of the car. An officer approached Su Ling, and the other 3 all went to the truck. The police officer worriedly asked, “Mr. Su, are you okay?”

Su Ling leaned on Gu Liheng’s shoulder and nodded, “Yes.”

Officer: “Don’t worry, we will find out what happened as soon as possible.”

“Thank you.”

The police officer said a few more words before turning to go to the truck.

“I want to stand up,” Su Ling patted Gu Liheng on the shoulder and stood up with Gu Liheng’s help. He moved his feet and said, “I can stand by myself now.”

Gu Liheng’s complexion eased slightly, but he still held Su Ling firmly by his arm.

On the other side, Lin Meng finally stopped crying, and the tears seemed to take away all his fears. His eyes were red, but he was very energetic. He pointed to the vine enthusiastically and asked, “What is this?”

Looking at the enlarged version of Lóng Mo Téng, Su Ling subconsciously touched his wrist. His wrist was smooth, and there was nothing on it. At this moment, the police officer walked back to them and asked, “Mr. Su, is this your spiritual plant? Can you let it loosen its grip? The car’s door is stuck, and we can’t check the driver.”

Su Ling saw that Lóng Mo Téng still maintained its current posture and was a little worried. With Lóng Mo Téng’s low-key way of doing things, it shouldn’t have left itself exposed so long and should have rushed back to his wrist. Right now, it is too eye-catching. He walked towards the truck and said, “I will try.”

Lóng Mo Téng’s stem is about the size of an adult’s wrist at the moment. Its color is shiny black, and it looks very textured, while the color of the leaves becomes very light, as if it is about to break with a touch. Su Ling observed Lóng Mo Téng’s appearance and touched its leaves at the door, “Thank you for saving my friend and me. How are you?”

One word after another appeared in his mind, “Out of control, not good.” Holding tightly, a close-up of Xian Mo Yu appeared in his mind.

Su Ling: “Do you want Xian Mo Yu to help?”

The leaves moved up and down.

Many guests from the swimming pool and the sports centre, plus some passer-by, formed a crowd as they surrounded the scene to check out what happened. The ambulance and more police cars arrived quickly. The police officers who have just arrived quickly pulled the cordon to prevent the crowd from getting closer. Some young people have turned on their bracelets and took photos while standing on tiptoes. Some other people started a live broadcast from their bracelet and wrote, “Super Cool Spiritual Plant makes an awesome appearance!”

This live broadcast room’s popularity has skyrocketed, and a barrage of words like ‘My Gawd!’, ‘Handsome’, and ‘So cool’ filled the chatbox. Then someone asked about what happened. An uncle standing next to the guy who started the live broadcast is a passer-by, and he was very excited. He grabbed the young man’s shoulders and explained with spit flying everywhere. With an exaggerated way of talking like what some uncles and aunties would say, the uncle retold the scene of the spiritual plant saving someone from the truck. The young man wiped his face and tried to get rid of the uncle. However, seeing how the barrage seemed to be crazy, and his popularity skyrocketed, he silently endured the spits while quietly learning the art of speaking.

Su Ling lightly touched Lóng Mo Téng’s leaves and said to the police officer standing near the car, “Excuse me, can you make this space available?”

The police officers cooperatively moved from the position. Su Ling thanked him and took Xian Mo Yu out. Xian Mo Yu found out that something is wrong with its little partner right away and used its roots to entangled with the vines, “Why are you so big?!”

Lóng Mo Téng mentally shared what happened with it. Xian Mo Yu was so angry that its roots slapped the front of the truck. One end of its roots opened up and sprayed poison on it. All of a sudden, the truck’s right front lights melted.

The crowd exclaimed in excitement and became noisy. The officers retreated quickly. The audience in the live broadcast room went crazy, ‘My God, what is this?’

‘It’s so cool!’

‘If I had this kind of spiritual plant, wouldn’t I be powerful?’

‘Its owner is definitely the most unprovoked person.’

It was apparent that Xian Mo Yu is angry. Su Ling lightly squeezed its roots and said, “Don’t be angry, I’m fine. Please help your friend first.”

When the people around saw him doing this, they all gasped. This black root is so poisonous, but that Omega dared to touch it. The terrible things they thought did not happen, and the Omega’s hands were fine. The roots even went and wrapped around the Omega’s wrist. The audience in the live broadcast room instantly turned into lemon essence (sour from jealousy), ‘Where can I find such a cool and well-behaved spiritual plant? Address, fast!’

The roots rubbed against the vine, “You are so kind, thank you for helping me protect my son.”

Lóng Mo Téng: “Stop talking nonsense! That’s my nephew! Hurry up and absorb my vine liquid. I don’t want to be watched. I’m warning you though, don’t absorb the liquid for yourself.”

Xian Mo Yu: “Don’t worry, I don’t want to keep getting bigger, but seriously, you haven’t lost control for a long time.”

Though it is chatting, its roots have started to move. Many roots moved to the surface of the vine’s stem and the front end opened up, clinging to the vine-like a sucker. Soon, the shape of the roots changed slightly, and it was obvious at a glance that there was liquid passing through.

Su Ling was stunned. Xian Mo Yu is absorbing Lóng Mo Téng’s stuff?

Lóng Mo Téng: “I haven’t used my vine liquid in this way for almost 1,000 years. The situation was too urgent, and I couldn’t control it well. If it weren’t for your son, I wouldn’t do it.”

Xian Mo Yu: “You are super awesome! If only I can control your vine liquid and shrink and grow at any time, then I can always protect my son.”

“What stupid thing to say,” Lóng Mo Téng said and added, “this is my characteristic of as Lóng Mo Téng. I already said it, your son will be fine with me here.”

Xian Mo Yu: “You are so kind!”

Lóng Mo Téng’s leaves moved and stabbed the roots, “Why do you always like to talk nonsense?”

Soon, Lóng Mo Téng could be seen getting smaller and smaller at speed visible to the naked eye. Xian Mo Yu retracted part of its roots until Lóng Mo Téng shrunk to Su Ling’s wrist again before retracting all the roots. Su Ling found that the color of Lóng Mo Téng’s stem and leaves are much lighter, and couldn’t help but worry, “Are you still in bad condition?”

The leaves swung left and right. Receiving a positive answer, Su Ling relaxed and squeezed Xian Mo Yu’s root before putting it back into the space storage.

“Mr. Su, I’ll send you back.” The police officer suggested, looking at increasing onlookers.

Su Ling looked at Gu Liheng, who nodded. Lin Meng’s eyes were shining, and his eyes fell on Su Ling’s wrist when he spoke, “Didn’t we said to go for dinner together? Let’s go to President Gu’s house to eat!”

Amused, Su Ling thanked the police officer and nodded. In the car, Lin Meng curiously took Su Ling’s hand and stared at his wrist, “Is it also a Grade S spiritual plant?”

Su Ling acknowledged with an En and said, “Lóng Mo Téng.”

Lin Meng blinked and let go of him. Then he tapped on his bracelet, “I seem to have seen it somewhere.”

Seeing that Lin Meng is checking for some information on his bracelet, Su Ling turned to ask Gu Liheng, “How did you get into a fight with those people?”

Gu Liheng frowned, “Just after we got out of the sports centre, a group of drunk Alphas coincidentally passed by the entrance and were bothering 2 Omegas.”

Xiào Rui turned his head from the front passenger seat and raised his hand, “My fault, I couldn’t hold back and got myself involved,” then he tsk-ed and said, “Thinking back, I think there’s something wrong about it.”

Su Ling thought of the 2 Omegas who screamed and ran away. Lin Meng apparently also thought the same and said, “It turned out that you were trying to help them. If it weren’t for them, we would be standing at the entrance of the swimming pool while waiting for you guys.”

Gu Liheng glanced at the message coming from his bracelet, “There was an accident in the sports centre at that time, so most of the security staff were transferred away.”

“What a coincidence.” Xiào Rui said.

Gu Liheng uttered an En with a sullen face, and the police officer who was driving said, “Don’t worry, those who made troubles were taken away by people from the Ministry of Security. If there is a problem, we can definitely find out.”

Upon arriving at the Gu villa, Lin Meng pestered Su Ling to the spiritual plant room. After Su Ling took out Xian Mo Yu, Lóng Mo Téng immediately rushed to Xian Mo Yu’s petals and clung to them. After a while, the color of its leaves became darker. Standing next to Su Ling, Lin Meng observed closely and asked, “Is this something that was absorbed by Xian Mo Yu earlier? And now it is absorbing it back?”

The roots nodded up and down.

Lin Meng stared at the roots and exclaimed, “Whoa! So smart, can I touch it?”

Xian Mo Yu slapped his forehead lightly and said to its little friend, “The juniors nowadays, they speak so nicely, but they are quite rude.”

Lin Meng touched his forehead with a look of envy, “I really want to raise a Grade S spiritual plant too. So safe, and I can interact with it, just like pets.”

A root rushed in front of Lin Meng; the end opened up and emitted a stench.

“He’s too much! What pet?! I’m Papa!”

Lin Meng wrinkled his face from the stink, clutching his nose, and stepped back.

Su Ling also suffered the smell attack from the side, but the impact was much smaller than Lin Meng. Moreover, he is used to a similar smell from his pheromone, so his reaction was relatively calm. He squeezed Xian Mo Yu’s roots soothingly and said, “Meng Meng is not bad-hearted. He is complimenting you for being amazing and smart. You are not a pet, but my friend.”

“PA~” A root flicked on Su Ling’s forehead.

The flick was quite gentle, but Su Ling touched his forehead dumbfoundedly. Did he make a mistake? After the root hit him, it then drew close. An enlarged word appeared in Su Ling’s mind, “Son!”
