After Su Ling took all the plants out of the space storage, he sorted out the items and equipment inside properly. The 3 Grade A spiritual plants shivered; their branches bent towards him, and they stuck all of their leaves and flowers at Su Ling’s body. When Nalu saw that Su Ling acted like he doesn’t mind the actions, he reminded with a light tone, “You must remember not to remove your isolator in front of outsiders, especially Alpha, or you will become their prey.”

Prey? Su Ling’s mouth twitched, not wanting Nalu to worry, he nodded, “Don’t worry, I won’t casually take of my isolator.”

The function of an isolator is to block the pheromone smell, avoid mutual influence between Alpha and Omega, which will cause the affected parties to lost control, and other phenomena. Not attaching the isolator is simply publicly asking for it.

Nalu looked relieved, “Good.”

Su Ling glanced at him, then turned to squeeze the Pearl Lopseed’s leaves that were wrapped around his wrist, and said helplessly, “Don’t wrap around my wrist, it will affect my work.”

However, Pearl Lopseed is different from Xian Mo Yu. It couldn’t understand what Su Ling said, so when he rubbed the leaves, it pressed itself against him even tighter. Su Ling thought for a moment. He held the tip of the leaf and unrolled the vines of leaves around his wrist twice like a ball of thread. After he unrolled the leaf from his wrist, Su Ling pushed it to rest beside its flower. The leaves shook, and when he let go, they immediately pressed against his arm but did not try to entangle his hands anymore. Su Ling smiled, the plant didn’t understand his words but still could understand his gesture. Letting the leaves sticking close to his body, he took the nutrient solution out of the space storage and re-arranged the supplies and medicine.

Taking a glance over the model on the edge of the container, Nalu immediately approached and stated into the container, “My God, high-quality nutrient solution.” Then he asked Su Ling, “How much will the plants consume every day?”

Su Ling thought about it and replied, “Grade A spiritual plant will take about 1 litre every day. Is it expensive?”

“1 litre equals to 1000 star coins,” Nalu said with a pained expression, “continuous consumption will be a huge expense.”

Su Ling quickly figured the numbers out in his mind. The nutrient solution for 3 Grade A spiritual plants cost 3,000 star coins a day. He still hasn’t figured how much Xian Mo Yu needs daily, but it will definitely be more. In this case, the monthly expenditure on the nutrient solution will be more than 100,000 star coins. After a moment of consideration, he laughed, “It doesn’t matter, the raw materials they provide every day are worth 10,000. Adding the Redthorn Ball liquid to the account, they will earn at least 30,000 star coins every day.”

These aren’t spiritual plants, they are gold mines!

Nalu clapped his hands, and his eyes brightened, “You are right, they should use the best nutrient solution.” Then he happily stretched out his hand to touch the Redthorn Ball closest to him. But the thread on the Redthorn Ball suddenly stood stiff and pierced his hand like needles.

“Hiss…” Nalu immediately shrank back. Clutching his fingers, he saw a blood drop coming out of the middle finger.

Su Ling was taken aback and looked at him nervously.

Nalu held his hands and stared at the wound for a while. Then he smiled and shrugged his shoulders, “I’m okay, it just pierced my hand, but didn’t release any poison.”He wiped his hands with a paper towel and turned to look at Redthorn Ball. Under his breath, he muttered, “Why is it so fierce? It’s just a touch. Xiao Ling and I are on the same team!”

Feeling funny, Su Ling laughed, “It couldn’t understand you.” He looked at Redthorn Ball, “This is the first time I saw it hurting people.”

Nalu: “The spiritual plant is apprehensive to non-Omega. Of course, if an Omega forcefully tried to harvest the raw materials, the result will not be better than mine just now.”

Su Ling remembered the scene when he took out the spiritual plants from the security company, “Then you have to remind the people in the store.”

Nalu: “Only Xiao Bian and the temporary worker will come in the backyard. I will tell them.”

Then Nalu pointed at the 3 plants that kept sticking to Su Ling’s body and at Xian Mo Yu which was secretly soaking its roots in nutrient solution; drinking away happily.

“They seem to be afraid of Xian Mo Yu, can they be put together in the greenhouse?”

Su Ling was not sure as well. “Let’s try.”

With Nalu’s help, he placed the 3 plants in the corner of the greenhouse near the door. Then together they moved Xian Mo Yu to the innermost corner to keep them at the farthest distance. However, when Xian Mo Yu was moved to the position, the few remaining low-level spiritual plants that were placed in the innermost of the greenhouse were scared to death. 2 plants were so terrified that their flower head fell off on to the ground while another plant half-snapped its stem. The scene looked very miserable.

Su Ling: “…”

Fortunately, he has his isolator on; otherwise, he will be surrounded by panic attacks. He turned his head to look at the 3 Grade A spiritual plants. Although they seemed slightly fine, not losing their heads or snapping their stem, they were shaking like they are having convulsions.

Nalu tsked, “This level of suppression is too strong.” Approaching the rose plants, he picked up the roses on the ground and said, “It can’t be used anymore.”

Upon hearing that, Su Ling looked at the flower and saw that the petals were completely different from those still fine on its stem. The fallen ones have glinting black colour mixed the red colour. This petal is poisonous. Although the toxins of low-level spiritual plants are not very toxic, the toxins will destroy the original effect of the raw materials.

Su Ling: “Are there any other empty rooms?”

Nalu: “The fragrance making room is quite empty, but the environment is not as good as this large shed. There are only a few low-level spiritual plants left. I will just move them out of here.”

Compared with the low-level spiritual plants, Nalu naturally values Xian Mo Yu more and wants to provide Xian Mo Yu with a better environment. However, Su Ling stopped him from moving the spiritual plants and said, “Wait a minute, Redthorn Ball is also afraid of Xian Mo Yu. I will try to comfort it. If my method doesn’t work, I will shift Xian Mo Yu to a place by itself.”

Nalu nodded immediately.

Although Grade A spiritual plant is not as good as Grade S, the current 3 plants can provide certain raw materials every day.  On the other side, Su Ling is not certain what Xian Mo Yu can provide. Hence, Grade A spiritual plan is more precious in his heart. Su Ling stood in front of the Grade A plants. Instantly, the 3 plants reached out, and their branches and vines pressed against him and wrapped his arms. He gently stroke the flowers and comforted, “Don’t be afraid, Xian Mo Yu will not eat you.”

His words did nothing. Su Ling calmed down for a while, and finally determined that the plants couldn’t understand his words. He has yet to master the method of communicating with them using pheromones. After a moment of considerations, Su Ling figured that he could only use actions to express his intentions. He waved to Xian Mo Yu and called out at the same time. The next moment, one of Xian Mo Yu’s roots stretched out in front of him. Grabbing onto the root, Su Ling could feel a touch of cold and bouncy sensation from his palm. He couldn’t help squeezing it, and the root twisted happily.

The 3 Grade A spiritual plants trembled even more.

Su Ling touched them with his left hand, and put the root on Redthorn Ball with his right hand, “Look, Xian Mo Yu will not hurt you, even if it touches you, it will not eat…”

Before he could finish talking, Xian Mo Yu got attracted by the scent of its food and couldn’t help itself. The top of its root opened up like morning glory, and it started sucking from one of the red balls to absorb the liquid within. The red ball deflated in the blink of an eye.

Su Ling was taken aback and quickly removed the root, “Xian Mo Yu!”

The tip of the roots was dumbfounded, and it closed up weakly, with the lower end drooping down, like a lifeless thread. At the same time, Su Ling had a vague image of a stickman kneeling on the ground in his mind.

Su Ling: “…”

The stickman stood up and knelt down, then crawled on the ground.

As expected of a Grade S spiritual plant with the highest IQ, Su Ling sighed silently.

Nalu was stunned. Looking at the countless black roots that were still soaking in the nutrient solution in the distance, his scalp tingled, “No wonder they are afraid of it.”

Su Ling spread his hands, “I can’t comfort the plants, we’ll just have to move Xian Mo Yu alone.”

Even he himself couldn’t believe the comforting words he said just now. If he really put them together in a room, he is afraid that none of the Grade A spiritual plants would be left when he wakes up tomorrow morning. However, thinking of Xian Mo Yu’s technique of burrowing into the ground, Su Ling couldn’t be relieved if they are not in the same room. Regardless, he brought Xian Mo Yu to the fragrance-making room with Nalu. Then he repeatedly ordered Xian Mo Yu, telling him not to harm the other spiritual plants and to drink the nutrient solution if it wants to eat anything.

At first, only one of Xian Mo Yu’s roots stood up and kept moving up and down as if it is nodding. But after listening to him nagging for a long time, a circle of roots surrounded Su Ling, ‘nodding’ up and down continuously. Su Ling also felt that he was a bit long-winded, so he coughed slightly and squeezed the roots in front of him, “Get a good rest and don’t destroy the room.”

A circle of roots nodded again.

After Su Ling left the room, he went to see the Redthorn Ball. The frequency of the Redthorn Ball’s shaking was much smaller than before. A red ball was deflated, but it didn’t seem to feel much. He took off his isolator and calmed the plant with his pheromone, then he gave it some nutrient solution based on the emotion he felt.

It’s already over 10pm when this busy day ends.

Nalu: “You go to rest first. There are many people in the store right now, so remember to turn on soundproofing function.”

Su Ling was really tired, so he nodded and walked to the lounge.

Before that, Nalu patted him on the shoulder and said, “Go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow. Even though your pheromone smells normal now, you still have to see if the rest of your body data is normal.”

Su Ling: “No need ba? I felt good, no discomfort anywhere.”

With a serious expression, Nalu insisted, “Of course you need to.” Then he coughed lightly, “You are already an adult, but you haven’t come in estrus even once. You have to check if Xian Mo Yu has any effect on you.”

Su Ling was speechless for a moment.

Waving his hand, Nalu seemed a little embarrassed to talk to him about this topic, which is usually done by the elders. He strode past Su Ling and decided, “I will send you there tomorrow.”

Su Ling understands him well, this topic is similar to the adult education in his previous world. Even if the topic is raised by biological parents, awkwardness is inevitable. He turned to call out at Nalu, “No need, I’ll go by myself. Have a good rest.”

The fragrance bar usually closes at three in the morning and can get even later when there are guests. The staffs rarely get up in the morning.

Su Ling returned to the lounge with a strong sense of strangeness. The lounge is totally incomparable with the guest room in Gu Liheng’s villa. Just the area itself is worse. Fortunately, it is fully equipped. He ordered a takeaway and took a shower after eating. Coming out of the bathroom in his pyjamas, Su Ling could hear faint voices from the store. He turned on the soundproofing function, and all kinds of noise disappeared instantly.

Initially, he felt tired, but he didn’t want to sleep after taking a shower. So he tapped open his bracelet and check the missed calls from today; all belonging to Gu Liheng and Nalu. A smile appeared on his face unconsciously, it felt good that someone cared. After reading it, he closed the missed call log, Su Ling discovered that there is an unread message. He opened it, and it was sent to him by the security company, which contained instructions on how to use the facility and input of the master control information. He inputted his fingerprint and pupil scan as instructed, and completed the registration for the master control. After that, the master control is turned on, and a holographic screen popped up above his bracelet, showing the various view of the store. Even the road outside the backyard can be monitored, and occasionally people or vehicles passing by will be displayed in red. If an outsider comes in, he can see it very clearly.

The main control console has a button for power and lock function. The power function can cause electric shock when someone breaks in, while the lock function prohibits entry and exit. Su Ling checked further and found that the time for the lock function was set to automatically turned on 3 am to 5 pm. The security company must have asked about the store’s closing time and confirmed that no one will be in the store during this time. Next, Su Ling checked online for the price of the security facility, it cost 600,000 star coins. After calculating silently, he breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with the income from spiritual plants, it is not exactly expensive.

The next day, he didn’t get up until 8:30 am. After washing, he went to see the spiritual plants to make sure that they are all alive and well, and went out to buy breakfast. Just as he went out of the store, he received a call from Nalu, “Where are you now?”

Su Ling: “Back door.”

Nalu: “I’ll be there soon.”

After a while, Nalu’s car stopped in front of Su Ling, and he got in the car. He said helplessly, “Didn’t I say I will go by myself?”

Nalu: “Who knows if you were just giving me a perfunctory reply? You kids like to do that what.”

Su Ling emphasized, “I am not a child, and I have not eaten breakfast yet.”

Nalu smiled, and the two ate breakfast together before heading to the Central Hospital.

Gu Liheng stood in front of the door for a while before turning around and went inside the villa. After sending a text message to someone, he went to the second floor. He took off the isolator to take a bath and changed into cotton pyjamas. The comfort of his body made his expression relaxed. Then Gu Liheng went into his study and dialled a number.

The call was quickly connected, and the psychiatrist Mill’s voice was gentle and calm, “Good evening.”

Gu Liheng greeted him, and Mill asked straightforwardly, “Is there any progress?” He rested his elbow on the armrest, his hand propped his forehead,  “No… I need your help.”

Mill: “I’m delighted to help, tell me about your current situation. Are you still in contact with the person who makes you smile?”

Gu Liheng: “Yes.”

Mill immediately asked, “How is the effect?”

Gu Liheng was silent for a moment. He did not answer the question but said, “He can’t help me. I contacted you to ask if there is any other way.”

Staying beside the young man felt effortless and joyful, but after everything changed after his confession. Before this, he liked to stay with the young man, and it felt natural to him to help and take care of him(SL). He didn’t think about the feelings between Alpha and Omega until the moment the young man confessed. His heartbeat was uncontrollable, and a joy that he had never had before surged in his heart. These reactions made him realize that his feelings for the young man were not friendship.

Although Gu Liheng has no experience in love, he is not a fool. No one would react this way to a friend’s confession. After realizing this feeling, the boy’s smile turned into a curse because it reminded him of all the blind dates he was forced to go a long time ago. The fearful expression and shifting gaze of those people keep flashing in his mind. Though this doesn’t always happen on the first meeting with the blind dates, the second and third meeting will always end up with the same result. The young man has a beautiful smile. If he(SL) get together with the expressionless him, that one day will come where he(SL) couldn’t stand it anymore, and his smile would be exhausted. Everyone has an expectation from the person they like; expecting their lover to show a smile instead of being serious and indifferent.

Mill was a little surprised and regretful, but he didn’t continue the topic. He pondered for a moment and asked, “Besides work, do you have any other activities that enable you to communicate with other people?”

Gu Liheng: “…No.”

Some things won’t sound wrong if not brought up, but when being explicitly mentioned, one can see the problem.

Not surprised, Mill explained, “Your symptoms are mainly psychological problems. I suggest you make more friends, participate in private gatherings, and relax yourself. Being at work for a long time, and not communicating with others will make your situation worse.” After a moment of silence, Mill gently said, “Your heart problems mainly stem from your mother’s teaching when you were young. You can try to smile in front of your mother.”

The sound of Gu Liheng’s breathing suddenly increased.

Mill slowed down his talk, “I know, this is a challenge, but if you can overcome it, it will be beneficial to your condition.” Then he said, “Of course, before that, I have to do a test for you to make sure the attempt does not backfire. If you have time, come to my studio.”

Gu Liheng: “Alright.”

Mill was very pleased to hear that he agreed to come, “I am happy for you.”

A few years ago, he persuaded Gu Liheng to do systemic treatment, but Gu Liheng refused. He still remembers what Gu Liheng said to him at that time, ‘It’s fine like this’. Right now, he is even more curious about the person who made Gu Liheng smile. Although Gu Liheng didn’t say anything much, it was not difficult for Mill to infer that Gu Liheng’s change was related to that person.

…

Su Ling glanced at the time and saw that it is almost 9.30pm, which is the busiest time in the fragrance bar. In order not to disrupt the business, he asked the driver to park the car at the side road in front of the back door. Then he sent another message to Nalu. The driver stopped the car, got out to open the door for Su Ling and reached out to support Su Ling.

Su Ling waved his hand and said, “It’s alright, I can just go by myself.”

“President Gu said you hurt your foot, so I’ll help you to get in.” The driver strictly said.

Su Ling gave him a surprised look, “When did he tell that to you?”

The driver honestly replied, “I received the information on the way to the fragrance bar.”

That reply put Su Ling in a very good mood. So as not to reveal anything, he took the driver’s hand to get out of the car slowly, “Thank you.”

Driver: “You’re welcome.” As he said, he helped Su Ling to walk towards the back door.

At this moment the back door opened and Nalu ran out while shooting questions at Su Ling, “What’s the matter? Where is the injury?”

Su Ling put his arm on Nalu’s hand and replied, “I just sprained my foot.” He turned to smile at the driver, “You can go back, thanks for your hard work.”

The driver replied saying that it is nothing, then said his goodbye and left.

Nalu helped Su Ling into the backyard. While he is closing the back door, he kept nagging, “You scared me to death this time. Never go alone to the mountains again in the future. Let me help you go to the lounge room first, and then I’ll call a doctor to come and see the wound. You……”

Letting go of Nalu’s hand, Su Ling placed his right foot on the ground and jumped a few times.

“Don’t worry, my foot is fine. And I won’t have to go to the mountains anymore.”

Nalu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, “What’s wrong with earlier then? And what do you mean by not going to the mountains anymore?”

Su Ling touched his nose in embarrassment, “I was just doing some thinking. About the other question, I will talk to you later.”

Nalu has seen many types of people before. Hence upon hearing Su Ling’s words, he immediately knew what Su Ling was talking about[1]. He was speechless for a moment and waved his hand. “All right, I already know that you like President Gu.”

Su Ling coughed slightly, and decisively shifted Nalu’s attention. He pointed to the metal mesh on the backyard wall, “What is this? It wasn’t there this afternoon.”

Nalu: “Isn’t this the security facilities that you asked to install?”

Immediately understood what was going on, Su Ling decided to check the model later to see the price. Seeing Nalu looking at him suspiciously, he vaguely said, “Oh, I almost forgot. Since I brought the 3 spiritual plants back, having complete security would be safer.” After that, he walked to the spiritual plant greenhouse. At this moment, the spiritual plant greenhouse is quite empty, and the spiritual plants they purchased mid-month has already been used up.

Nalu nodded in agreement, “You are very considerate, but isn’t the price of this set not cheap? Do you have enough money?”

Su Ling: “Yes, enough.”

Su Ling raised his hand to touch his stud earring. After a moment of thought, he gave a word of caution, “Uncle Nalu, there’s something that I’m going to show you now. Just don’t get too excited.”

Nalu smiled, “Did you forget? I was with you when you took the Grade A spiritual plants from the safe. Whatever is this, I won’t get excited.”

After a minute, the person who said he won’t get excited was flushing as he circled Xian Mo Yu and muttered ‘ooh’ and ‘my god’ nonstop…

Su Ling rubbed his ears, “Uncle Nalu, calm down.”

“Oh my God! How can I calm down? This is a Grade S spiritual plant!” He exclaimed with an affectionate tone, “It’s so beautiful!”

Xian Mo Yu stretched out a root and tapped Nalu’s forehead; praising him for having good eyes.

Su Ling laughed and shook his head. If Nalu had smelled Xian Mo Yu’s offensive scent, then he wouldn’t be so affectionate.

After Nalu finally calmed down, he said, “No wonder you said you don’t have to go to the mountains anymore!” He placed his hand on Su Ling’s shoulder excitedly, “The Doctor Ni An you mentioned last time, can you ask him to come and study the plant?”

Su Ling laughed, “No need to ask him, my pheromone has returned to normal.”

“Really?”

Nodding, Su Ling took off his isolator. Soon, the fragrance of citrus mint wafted into the air from him.

Nalu took a step back and distanced himself from Su Ling, “Even if I am Beta, I am fascinated by your pheromone.”

Su Ling: “…” He reattached the isolator and said, “Such an exaggeration.” His pheromones do smell good though, and he himself likes it very much.

Nalu sternly rebutted, “It’s not an exaggeration at all!”

[1] A bit hard to translate properly, but it means that SL was feeling a bit sad with something so he went to the mountain to do some thinking, which Nalu understood what makes him sad.

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

Su Ling took out the isolator and attached it to the back of his neck. There are at least 5 alphas in the ship, judging from the various voices in the call. If he doesn’t have the isolator, some trouble might come up. After all, he is very fragrant now! After sticking the isolator, he put the Golden Baby’s breath plant back into his space storage. Then he started walking around Xian Mo Yu, worrying. Xian Mo Yu is too big to fit in the space storage.

The space storage is three-dimensional, 20 m3, 3 x 3 in length and width, and more than 2 meters in height. Just the diameter of Xian Mo Yu’s stamen alone is close to 2 meters, and its petals of nearly 1 meter make it impossible to fit. He couldn’t ask Xian Mo Yu travel by itself, right? But if it shows up on their doorstep, it will definitely cause a commotion! As he is thinking, Gu Liheng’s voice came from the other side, “Su Ling, have you receive the coordinate?”

Su Ling was sharing his real-time location, and the map indicated that his position has not changed. He hurriedly adjusted the volume and replied, “I have received it. I’m just sorting my things, will set off immediately.”

He adjusted the volume to zero again and suggested to Xian Mo Yu, “My space storage can’t fit you. How about you move to the perimeter of the forest and find a place to hide? I will come over regularly to bring you the nutrient solution.”

Xian Mo Yu answered his proposal with action. Its red petals quickly close up together. The petals and stamens overlapped, reducing its size by a circle, which is now only the stamens are taking up space.

Su Ling’s eyes lit up, it can fit now! Quickly, he sorted out the storage and soaked Xian Mo Yu’s roots in the nutrient solution. Then he placed all of his equipment on top of Xian Mo Yu, barely fitting Xian Mo Yu in.  After some struggles for a while, Su Ling is quite exhausted and took a quick rest. He used the flashlight function from his bracelet to illuminate his surrounding. After enough observation, he followed the navigation guide to the coordinate given by Gu Liheng. He should be deep in the mountain at the moment, with dense vegetation and soft soil. There are many weeds on the ground, and it is easy to stumble when walking. He secretly rejoiced that it is fortunate he changed his equipment before he set off. The quality of the army boots male god bought was good; otherwise, the road would be too difficult to navigate.

After he walked for a while, suddenly, there was a snapping sound of a tree branch on the left side. He immediately turned his head and saw a pair of green eyes of a wild beast in the dimly lit forest. Su Ling’s heart jumped. The leaves above his head shook, two cries from some birds rang out, followed by the sound of fluttering wings, and the two birds flew away quickly. His expression became tight, he stared at the beast and slowly backed away. At this moment, Su Ling started to miss his smelly pheromone smell. Although it smells unpleasant, it provides safety, and he is not afraid to walk in the wild even with his eyes closed.

Seeing him retreating, the beast let out a dangerous low growl in its throat, and its upper body is lowered. At the next moment, the beast suddenly jumped up and pounced towards him. Su Ling quickly jumped behind the tree beside him, letting the tree to block in front of him. He touched his stud earring and took out a gun from the space storage. Just in case, he prepared himself to call for Xian Mo Yu.

At this moment, a dazzling light came from behind him, shining directly into the eyes of the beast. The beast was irritated and roared loudly. The roars reverberated everywhere, and it sounded extremely terrifying. With a ‘BANG!’, the roar stopped abruptly.

Su Ling breathed out softly, patted his chest and turned back. Gu Liheng was less than 5 meters away from him, and Hua Cheng was farther away, holding a black long barrel gun in his hand. He(SL) still has more than half to go before he reaches the destination, it seems that the two men came to pick him up directly from the landing point. Slowly relaxing, Su Ling put the gun back in his space storage and smiled at Gu Liheng. As Gu Liheng walked up to him, he looked at Gu Liheng’s expression, but couldn’t interpret his emotions. However, he remembered clearly that Gu Liheng’s current attire was the same as when he went out at noon. Except it is now a little messier, especially the trousers, which was stained with dirt and grass. The image was totally incompatible with his male god.

“Sorry for causing you trouble.” He said in a frustrated tone.

There is no need to ask, Su Ling could guess what happened based on the missed calls and his male god’s appearance at the moment. He has just confessed not long ago and was thinking about accumulating more good feelings in the future. He didn’t expect to make him worry immediately after.

Gu Liheng lowered his head. His gaze swept across Su Ling’s face, and quickly looked away, “As long as you are fine.”

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes were also curved when Su Ling heard that. His male god did not blame him but still cared about him. He still has the chance!

After Hua Cheng reached the two, he looked around and said, “President Gu, we should leave as soon as possible. The smell of blood will invite a lot of trouble.”

Gu Liheng nodded and looked at Su Ling. Su Ling turned around and started walking, “I will try my best to keep up with you guys.”

Gu Liheng: “You should walk ahead.”

Hua Cheng laughed, “Omega can’t keep up with our speed. Just proceed at your speed.”

Su Ling couldn’t refute, he had already seen an Alpha’s abnormal physical ability in the gym.
Not saying anything to waste time, he moved forward according to the navigation. Gu Liheng was one step behind him while Hua Cheng covered the rear.

10 minutes later, there is a bright light ahead, and noises from the aircraft overhead could be heard. Su Ling glanced at the map, and his eyes lit up. They will arrive at the destination immediately. Excited, he quickened his steps subconsciously. However, after 2 steps, Su Ling’s feet was caught by the grass. He lightly yelped as his body fell forward. Instantly, someone grabbed his arms from the back and tightened the hold on his waist. Following the force, Su Ling’s body fell back and hit a muscular chest. For the first time, he deeply felt the difference between an Alpha and Omega’s body condition.

Su Ling turned around. A calm and robust breath filled his nose, his heartbeat quickened, and his head looked up to meet Gu Liheng’s eyes. He blinked and raised his hand to wrap around Gu Liheng’s neck. The other party was visibly startled, and his body was stretched taut. A smile flashed in Su Ling’s eyes. His male god is very innocent and sensitive ah. Raising his right foot, Su Ling shook it and said, “Sprained my foot, and it hurts. Can’t stand.”

Gu Liheng frowned and looked at his foot. Su Ling was wearing long-barreled military boots, and his calf was tightly wrapped in leather. His legs were slender and straight, simply gorgeous. Gu Liheng’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, and he suddenly has the urge to kneel on one foot and lightly kiss the boy’s ankle.

Su Ling lowered his head questioningly. Is there something wrong with his foot? Why is male god’s body stiffening up? After a moment of thought, he came out with a possibility – His male god was worried about his feet injury! Su Ling was overjoyed and at the same time felt guilty because there’s nothing wrong with his feet. Their current location is not far from the landing point. There won’t be any more dangerous situation, and when they reached the aircraft, he will soon be separated from his male god. Other than that, since he is not living in the villa anymore, It won’t be easy to meet him either. That’s why he thought of an excuse to take advantage of his feet injury. However, Su Ling couldn’t bear to worry his male god, he has enough worry for today.

Putting his feet down, Su Ling regretfully released his hold from male god’s neck and took a step back. In order not to slap himself in the face (that he’s lying) on the spot, he retreated very slowly and swayed slightly to indicate that his ankle is uncomfortable.

“Actually, it’s not a big problem, let’s go.” He smiled.

Gu Liheng frowned, “Forcibly walking will aggravate the injury,” then he paused before saying, “Pardon my rudeness.”

As he said that, Gu Liheng bending over and carried Su Ling in a princess carry, and then walked forward quickly. His actions were steady and fast that Su Ling was stunned, and absent-mindedly placed his hand on Gu Liheng’s arm. Soon, he realized that his(GLH) speed is faster than before. Su Ling couldn’t help asking, “Isn’t that tiring?”

Gu Liheng did not look at him, but looked straight ahead: “No, you are very light.”

Su Ling felt relieved.

The last short section of the journey only took 2 minutes. There was only 1 aircraft on the landing point as there is not enough space, so the other 3 aircraft circled slowly in the sky. When Gu Liheng appeared holding Su Ling in his arms, the smoothly rotating aircrafts suddenly flipped over and completed a thrilling 360-degree turn in the air.

“Asshole! Do you want to die?”

“Oh! President Gu actually carried an Omega in his arms!”

“I’m betting that Omega is definitely injured, and not that President Gu is finally enlightened.”

“I betting too! President Gu must be enlightened. Don’t you see our boss is there too? With President Gu’s character, if he is not enlightened, he will definitely take the gun to cover the rear and let our boss carry the Omega instead.”

“Hey, it makes sense, I can’t refute it!”

Hua Cheng gave a light cough with a smile and tapped twice on his bracelet. In an instant, the tapping sound sounded in all the aircraft at the same time.

A moment of silence.

Immediately after that tapping sound, the shared communication was cut off.

“It’s over, am I going to be unemployed today?”

“President Gu should not be able to recognise my voice, right?!”

“Is there still enough time if I apologize now?”

“…”

When these comments first came up, Su Ling clearly perceived that Gu Liheng’s footsteps paused for the slightest moment and his body muscles were tight. Looking up, he only saw the defined line of his side profile. After he stared for a moment, Su Ling finally pressed his head against male god’s shoulder, trying to force down his smile.

Don’t laugh, don’t laugh. It’s not good if male god becomes angry.

Hua Cheng jumped into the front passenger seat of the aircraft. Gu Liheng glanced at him and placed Su Ling in the back seat. Then he circled to the other side and sat side by side with Su Ling. When the aircraft took off, the noise was quite loud and not suitable for chatting, so no one spoke.

Su Ling leaned back and stole glances at Gu Liheng from the corner of his eyes. Gu Liheng sat upright as if he was in a meeting. Su Ling carefully thought it out. Although male god has straightforwardly rejected him, but from his actions, Gu Liheng should have good feelings towards him. After thinking about it again, Su Ling countered the thought. If he(GLH) really have good feelings to him, he(GLH) wouldn’t refuse to give him a chance and make him move out immediately after rejecting the confession. Perhaps being kind to him is because they are friends. These two thoughts fought in his head, and the more he thought about it, the messy it became. Su Ling reached out to rub his face. As expected, feelings are the most complicated matter in the world. Even he, who is usually quite direct and simple inevitably struggles with feelings. The more he like someone, the less confident he became. Su Ling decided not to think anymore, as long as male god is single, he will pursue him unswervingly!

The aircraft quickly landed in the back garden of the villa, and the other 3 jets flew away without stopping. Gu Liheng got off the aircraft to Su Ling’s side, carried him down from the ship and walked into the villa. Hua Cheng lowered the window of the front passenger seat and waved goodbye. The aircraft took off behind the two and disappeared from their sight in a blink of an eye.

As he walked across the corridor to the living room, Gu Liheng paused, “Shall I ask the doctor to check your foot?”

“No need,” Su Ling said immediately, “just get the driver take me back to the fragrance bar.”

His lies will be exposed if a doctor checks it.

Gu Liheng frowned, “It’s inappropriate for you to live in the fragrance bar.”

Su Ling smiled at him and raised his eyebrows, “Why is it inappropriate?”

Gu Liheng: “The fragrance bar is mixed with many kinds of people. As an Omega, it is not safe for you.”

Su Ling patted him on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry. It’s my shop, and it’s full of my employees. No one can bully me.” He blinked, smiling brilliantly, “If you really worry, marry me, I will live with you every day.”

Gu Liheng stared at his smile for 2 seconds, before abruptly looking away, and quickly walked out of the living room. Placing Su Ling in the back seat of the car, Gu Liheng instructed, “Get a doctor to see your foot when you returned.” After saying that, he took a step back and closed the door.

Su Ling frowned slightly and looked at Gu Liheng through the window. He keeps staring until Gu Liheng’s figure couldn’t be seen anymore. He reached out and touched the corner of his mouth, recalling Gu Liheng’s reaction just now. Could it be not only male god can’t smile, but he also doesn’t like others to smile as well? That’s not right. When he smiled at him before, male god looked happy and even smiled together with him. Su Ling was confused, what is going on?

Thank you to Loni for the kofi and support (ﾉ∀`♥)

Su Ling knew Gu Liheng was worried about him from the missed calls in the record, and quickly responded, “It’s me, I’m fine.”

Gu Liheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not entirely relaxed. The young man’s voice sounded weak, was he injured? He quickly asked, “Where are you now?”

Su Ling looked around. On top of his head is a naturally jutted boulder while there is a steep cliff with many big green trees on his right. Below him is a rock wall with moss growing on it, and a small stream of water can be seen flowing from above. This kind of place is very common in the mountains. He described his position and said, “I don’t know the exact location.”

Gu Liheng: “Share your coordinate with me.”

Su Ling: “Alright.”

He was about to hang up the call when he heard Gu Liheng say, “Don’t hang up, keep it connected.”

Su Ling smiled and said, “Okay.” He sent the coordinate, and Gu Liheng’s voice came from the bracelet, “Head to the location.”

This was obviously being said to someone else, so Su Ling didn’t bother.

The roots that had been wrapped around Su Ling’s wrist loosened, and raised to tap on his lips. At the same time, a blurry scene flashed in his mind; it was him eating the stem? This mental image was different from the movie-like memories sharing previously. Similar to Xian Mo Yu’s smiling face, it was quite blurry. He guessed that this is the difference between personal experience and expression of ideas.

Su Ling looked at the roots and asked, “You mean I should eat it?”

The roots moved up and down.

Gu Liheng’s voice was slightly confused as he asked, “Who are you talking to?”

Immediately covering his mouth, Su Ling secretly reminded himself not to speak out loud next time. He replied, “It’s only me.”

Gu Liheng did not ask anymore. Su Ling’s eyes curved up slightly; his male god is really reliable.

On the other hand, he watched the animated picture of ‘him eating the stem’ that Xian Mo Yu kept looping in his mind. After a moment of consideration, he took Golden Baby’s breath out from his space storage. As soon as he took it out, he could sense the panic and fear from Baby’s breath, and its whole body was trembling. Its leaves and flowers tried to stick as near as possible to him; looking really pitiful. Such a significant change of treatment after he became ‘fragrant’! Before this, when he was still smelly and didn’t the isolator, they avoided him like h*ll!

Su Ling opened his mouth to say something, but thinking that he is still connected to the call, he closed his mouth in time. Stretching out his hand, Su Ling tried to stroke the leaves and flowers of Baby’s breath to comfort it. His pheromone and the scent of the plant were mixed together, even so, he still can easily recognize the scent of the plant. The scent of his, Xian Mo Yu, and Baby’s breath are like thread balls of different colours. Although they are mixed together, they are still different with their own unique colours.

Su Ling tried to use his pheromone to soothe the Golden Baby’s breath. The moment he tried, he found that his pheromone gradually changed, and the pheromone that was originally evenly scattered around in the air slowly gathered around the plant. These countless tiny particles of fragrance can be controlled! It was extremely novel for Su Ling, and he felt like he has discovered a new world. His pheromone envelops the spiritual plant, and it gradually calms down. The mixed fragrance of gold and silver gathered, gradually forming a tearful expression TwT.

Su Ling: “…”

Is this the real truth of how spiritual plant specialist communicate with the spiritual plant using pheromones?

He couldn’t help but glance at Xian Mo Yu. Why did Xian Mo Yu communicate directly with him in his head? Since he is still connected to a call, Su Ling didn’t speak. Xian Mo Yu could not understand his doubts, so it didn’t move to explain to him. He thought about it for a moment and guessed that it is probably related to the particles from Xian Mo Yu that had been in his body for a long time.

Turning back to the Baby’s breath, Su Ling wondered how he could communicate with it and harvest its stem. He tried to control his pheromones, but he doesn’t know how to direct it and could only guide the pheromone to gather or disperse; there is no way to make an expression. Finally, he thought of an idea, which he tried lightly tugging the stem while gathering his pheromones.

The Golden Baby’s breath rubbed its flower and leaves at the back of his hand, while the flower nearest to his hand moved forward. The branch of that flower bent over, and a part of the stem fell onto his palm. Su Ling saw that the other flowers are approaching as well, he quickly held the flower branch and slowly straighten it, making the branch stand straight. The flowers that were approaching stopped immediately.

So smart! Su Ling sighed in admiration. He glanced at the stem in his hand and ate it without hesitation. Previously, in order to test whether the 3 spiritual plants can treat his pheromone abnormalities, he has tried eating their raw materials, so he is not worried about it being poisonous. Putting the stem in his mouth, it gave off a pleasant aroma and a light cooling sensation. Though it has no taste, it was not unpalatable. The slight cooling sensation quickly swept across the body. His formerly weak limbs felt like they have been washed and renewed by a gush of water, and he regained quite a lot of strength.

Su Ling was a little surprised by the outcome because he felt the same cold sensation when he ate the stem before, but this time his spirit felt a lot better. Unlike the first time when he took the stem in a normal body condition, the changes weren’t as apparent as now. With the before and after comparison, the effect is particularly obvious.

“President Gu, the trees are too dense for the aircraft to land.”

“No landing point found.”

The voice of 2 men reporting the situation could be heard from the call. Next, voices are discussing what to do. Su Ling listened carefully for a while and spoke promptly when they made a decision to jump, and someone suggested that it might be dangerous.

“Don’t skydive, just tell me where is the nearest suitable place for the aircraft to land, and I’ll walk over.”

His voice sounded more energetic than before. Gu Liheng asked, “Can your body hold on?”

Su Ling smiled and said, “Yes, I am not injured, don’t worry.”

After discussing there for a while, everyone agreeing to Su Ling’s proposal. They quickly marked the nearest landing point on the map and sent it to Su Ling.

After turning on the navigation function, Su Ling did not embark immediately but looked at Xian Mo Yu. His lips moved, trying to speak, but his gaze swept across his bracelet, and he stopped himself. Suddenly, he had a lightbulb moment, and he adjusted the volume of his bracelet audio input to zero. That way, people on the other side won’t be able to hear when he is speaking, but he will still listen to them if they wanted to look for him.

Silently giving himself a compliment, Su Ling asked Xian Mo Yu, “Are you going to stay in the mountains?”

Xian Mo Yu stretched out two roots, one wrapped around Su Ling’s waist and the other wrapped around his wrist. At the same time, the scene of its roots absorbing the nutrient solution flashed in his mind.

Su Ling glanced at the roots around his waist with complicated eyes, “You want to follow me back to drink the nutrient solution?”

Another root emerged from the ground, nodding up and down.

Grade A spiritual plant is very scarce. Grade S spiritual plant is almost a legend. The raw materials that can be harvested are definitely powerful. He himself can verify that, although it comes with a long-term side effect. But thinking about it carefully, except for the unpleasant smell, the particle from Xian Mo Yu actually has no harmful impact on his body, and it even gave him safety in the wild.

Su Ling wanted to agree right away, but he managed to calm down a little bit, “You can follow me, but you have to promise me that you can’t casually eat anything except nutrient solution.”

He is very worried that a moment of carelessness would cause his Grade A spiritual plants to be eaten by Xian Mo Yu.

The erected roots stayed still for a while and then nodded up and down.

Su Ling laughed, stretched out his hand and rubbed the roots. After rubbing it, he looked at his fingers curiously and found no dirt on it. The spiritual plant’s self-cleaning ability is powerful. Su Ling is thrilled. Not to mention that he has solved the abnormalities of his pheromone, he also picked up a Grade S spiritual plant. Then, he thought of the bad smell Xian Mo Yu had emitted before, and asked curiously, “Can you control the smell at will?”

The roots swayed triumphantly, and a stinky smell came out instantly.

Su Ling: “Don’t! I’m just asking, no need to demonstrate!” He reminded, “If it is not necessary, keep emitting just fragrance in the future!”

Xian Mo Yu thinks that this proposal is not very good, and shared with Su Ling the scene where it caught its food with the bad smell. It can release a very corrosive liquid when it smells bad. A wild boar will turn into a liquid in less than a minute, and it will be able to suck it clean.

This scene was too bloody, causing Su Ling’s complexion changed a little. He reluctantly praised, “You are really amazing.” Then, he emphasized his tone and reminded, “Keep the fragrance, don’t release the corrosive liquid casually! You don’t need to prey for the nutrient solution!”

Xian Mo Yu was very happy to hear that there was no need to prey, and its petals swayed and fanned.

A gust of wind greeted Su Ling’s face, blowing away the discomfort caused by him watching the gory scene earlier.

Take note that Chapter 25 have 2 pages yo, though not sure why part 1 won’t connect to part 2 link :v

Nalu’s voice rose sharply after hearing Gu Liheng’s words, “Why did he leave? Didn’t he go back to the villa to look for you?”

Gu Liheng was silent for a moment, “There is no need to borrow the spiritual plant anymore. So, he moved out of the villa today.”

Thinking of Su Ling’s words when he left the store, Nalu couldn’t help but worry, “You asked him to move out, right? He likes you, so he will definitely not leave by himself.”

“You know he…likes me?” Gu Liheng pursed his lips slightly.

“Of course I know! I wasn’t able to persuade him not to,” Nalu said in an anxious tone, muttering to himself, “Did he go into hiding somewhere because he was sad?”

Nalu: “Please check the surveillance camera around your villa. I will try my best to contact him.”

After Nalu finished speaking, he hung up and continued to call Su Ling.

Gu Liheng asked Domi to playback the surveillance after noon around the villa. He watched at four times the speed and pressed the pause button when Su Ling was looking at the ‘map of the hole’ in his bracelet. With Su Ling dressed in camouflage and checking a map, it is obvious what he wants to do. Gu Liheng went outside and dialled Su Ling’s number, but no one answers it. His jaw tightened, not willing to think about the possibility of something terrible happening to Su Ling. Without hesitation, he called the search team and said, “We need to search for someone in the back mountain.”

When the search team came to the villa, Gu Liheng roughly told them the story and shared the map. Next, he contacted Nalu to explain the situation. Soon, 2 aircrafts arrived on the sky over the villa. One of them landed in the back garden. After Gu Liheng went into it, it took off again. The 2 aircrafts activated its radar and thermal detectors and proceeded along the route of the red line.

…

Su Ling has been walking according to navigation. After going deep into the mountains, the vegetation is denser, and the road is getting harder and harder to walk. Fortunately, his pheromone is so powerful that there are no insects all the way, which is very safe and worry-free. Every hour he walks, he will rest for 15 minutes. Then, taking advantage of the rest, he would take out the 3 spiritual plants as bait to ‘fish’ for a certain spiritual plant. During this period, he reattached the isolator temporarily and smelling the fragrance of the 3 spiritual plants, his energy quickly recovered.

When it was almost 5 pm, Su Ling came upon a flowing stream. He looked back and forth and considered his route. Worried that he would lose sight of the stream if he continues, he decided to camp nearby. He took out the tent and assembled it swiftly. Then he leaned over and adjusted his sleeping bag. He was about to stand up when something caused him to stop. The airflow was disturbed when he wants to get up earlier, and at that moment, he smelled an extremely unpleasant and familiar smell.

It is the ‘black threadlike stem’ that sneaked into the spiritual plant room that day!

His heart starts to beat rapidly. Su Ling straightened up and turned around, then he saw two black stems waving towards him. He subconsciously raised his hand to block, but the black stems stopped in front of him. Instantly, a strong smell of rotten meat and bad eggs made him dizzy. He stepped back, but a black stem quickly circled his waist and bound him up. The bind was not strong, but at the moment of contact, countless images suddenly appeared in his head; rushing to get into his head. His mind overloads with the information, and he fainted to the ground.

The black stem loosened and then retracted, returning to the ground not far away. At first glance, it seemed that the 2 threadlike stems protruded from the ground all of a sudden. A gust of wind blew, the leaves swayed gently, but the young man was unconscious and wasn’t aware of what’s happening. After a while, more black stems came out from the ground not far away, and the colour of the ground became very dark in the blink of an eye, and it quickly collapsed and sunk to form a large hole.

The black stems that came out from the hole took root in the ground, then gradually straightened, and a flower rose from the hole. At the same time, the foul smell disappeared, replaced by an extremely attractive fragrance. The shape of the flower was similar to a sunflower, but it was much larger, with many black stamens in the middle and has 5 blood-red petals around it.

The black stamens waved at Su Ling’s direction and then overlapped together to form a big net. Next, 4 roots stuck out from the ground and lifted Su Ling to the stamen net on the flower. The flower closed its petals to cover Su Ling and gradually disappear into the hole at the ground.

When Su Ling woke up, his surroundings were very dim. His body felt hot, and his mind was dizzy, but the back of his neck was cold. He moved his neck subconsciously, and soon realized that something is wrong; something is connected to the gland at the back of his neck. Feeling shocked, he wanted to push himself up from the ground. However, the touch under his hands got him stunned. It felt a bit too soft and bouncy. Su Ling was trying to guess where he was when countless images suddenly appeared in his mind, like a memory that was forcibly stuffed in. That caused his brows to furrow.

Out of nowhere, a soft and cool touch came to his forehead, as if trying to smooth his frown. The cooling sensation made his mind clearer. Su Ling was surprised to find that the smell of rotten eggs on his body has become much lighter, and at the same time, two different scents can be found in his body. An extremely fragrant scent that one would feel unreal after smelling it for a long time. While the other scent was a bit faint, like citrus mixed with mint, with a hint of coolness.

Su Ling sat up slowly, and the cold sensation on the back of his neck followed suit. He couldn’t help but raise his hand and touch his back. It seemed to be a long strip of jelly; soft and cold to touch. Then, he tilted his head and saw a black silhouette in the dim light.

Spiritual plant?

That thought has just flashed through his mind when a black stem suddenly rose from the side. The end that opened up like a morning glory nodded up and down. Su Ling looked at the black stem in surprise. Does that mean it is answering his question? Suddenly, an image appeared in his mind. In the mental image, he is sitting on a large flower with 5 red petals while a stem from the flower is connected to the back of his neck. Su Ling was stunned but soon realized that this image should be reflecting his current state, and his eyes instantly widened.

“You… are Xian Mo Yu?” He couldn’t help but ask.

The soft and elastic ‘floor’ under him shook slightly, and a very abstract, fuzzy smiling face appeared in his mind. The face was made up from 3 strokes of lines; 2 curved lines to make the eyes and 1 curved line for the mouth. ( ^ u ^ )

Su Ling was shocked. Did he just communicate with the spiritual plant? He tried to control his pheromones and shifted his attention to his gland. After a while, he realized something is different. He is very sensitive to scents and can easily distinguish various scents. Hence, he found that 2 scents were released from his body at this time. The smell of light rotten eggs and light citrus mint were both from him. Moreover, the smell of rotten eggs is getting lighter, while the citrus mint scent is getting stronger. Soon, the smell of rotten eggs disappeared, together with the cooling sensation at the back of his neck. At the same time, Su Ling sensed a happy and satisfied emotion.

A picture flashed in his mind. The 3 spiritual plants that are currently stored in his space storage are standing somewhere in the forest. They were surrounded by red petals, shivering. Suddenly, the red petals let go of them and disappeared into the sunken ground beside them.

Su Ling felt a cooling sensation at his wrist, and he saw a root lightly circling it. He glanced at it and asked, “Is this your memory?”

The roots that stood erected next to him nodded up and down again.

Su Ling touched the back of his neck with his other hand, “Did you absorb the thing that belonged to you from my gland?”

The roots swayed happily.

So happy? Su Ling blinked, “Is it important to you?”

The roots nodded up and down, and many images flashed in Su Ling’s mind; various scenery flashed quickly, wasteland, forest, mountain, swamp…

He exclaimed, “You went to these places to find what you dropped?” And received a positive answer.

Su Ling silently sighed, no wonder it brought such a strong influence to him, whether it is his affinity or sensitivity to odours. Even his pheromone scent has a strong impact. He looked around, but the lighting was too dim. So he turned on the light function of his bracelet, and his surrounding brightened up. Su Ling wanted to stand up, but his feet were powerless. His body shook, and the black stems quickly supported him. The moment his hand made contact, Su Ling realized that the stems that were connected to the back of his neck are also its roots.

He glanced around to look at Xian Mo Yu again, it looked exactly the same as the big red flower that had appeared in his mind before. Then he thought of the black stamens on the soles of his feet and suddenly felt like he is damaging the flower, so he slowly moved aside to the ‘floor’ of the flower. Su Ling only moved a bit to the side, and the height difference was only 1 meter, but there’s not enough space for him to stand up, so he had to sit cross-legged on the ‘floor’.

At this moment, Su Ling felt like his body has been hollowed out, especially empty. Then, the image of Golden Baby’s breath appeared in his mind, but the image was not showing a complete flower, but just the stem part of the flower. If he wasn’t already familiar to the plant, he might not recognize it at first glance.

Su Ling froze for a moment and asked, “You want to eat it?” He persuaded, “They are particularly afraid of you. Don’t eat them, I have nutrient solution here.”

As he was talking, his bracelet rang, and he glanced at it, only to realize that it already 8 pm. And there were hundreds of missed communications in the communication record. Su Ling quickly connected the call.

Gu Liheng’s voice was not as steady as usual, and his voice trembled slightly, “…Su Ling?”

Only then did Gu Liheng realize that he didn’t seem to have ever called the young man officially by his name.

Banana: Wahaha, finally XMY’s identity is out~ It’s a rafflesia yo (well, sort of)! Who guessed it correctly? Anyway, XMY is depicted to be quite large here. Don’t try to make sense of it, this is fiction after all, wahahaha …. ‘*shifty eyes*

Su Ling’s shoulders lowered as he sighed and spread his hands, “I, I guess you won’t agree,” he looked at Gu Liheng, “but I won’t give up.” Then he frowned and added reluctantly, “Unless you meet someone you like.” As he said, he couldn’t help but promoted himself, “Since you don’t have anyone you like at the moment, why don’t you like me, I’m quite fine.”

Such a boastful Omega is really rare. When Gu Liheng heard the words, his gaze fell on the young man’s face again. His eyes were slightly bent, and the corner of his long and narrow eyes was raised up; simply pure and charming. Su Ling indeed has the capital to be boastful, worthy of anyone’s love. This kind of smile should be cared meticulously for by other people, and not with people like him who can’t even laugh, which will cause the smile to gradually wear off.

Clenching his fists tighter, Gu Liheng stood up and looked at Su Ling condescendingly, “Don’t like me.”

Without waiting for Su Ling to say anything, he strode away and went back to the room on the second floor.

Su Ling stared at the stairs with a frown, then chuckled after a long while. ‘Like’ is not something you can cancel off just because you said so!

There was still some residual pheromone left in the living room. Su Ling smelled it and touched the back of his neck regretfully. If only his pheromone is normal, he can also try seducing Gu Liheng. Thinking about this, the image of his male god holding the inhibitor appeared in his mind. Su Ling shrugged his shoulders. The success rate is probably very low.

So, how to chase his male god?

Zhao Qi’s move was too obvious, he(ZQ) wanted to marry male god. Although Su Ling doesn’t know if it’s because he was reborn that he came to realize that male god is a good person, or there are other purposes, he can’t let Zhao Qi do what he wants. He(SL) must make his male god accept him as soon as possible. In any case, he has an advantage over Zhao Qi, after all, he and his male god are living under the same roof.

When Gu Liheng returned to his room, he unbuttoned his shirt collar and cuffs and rolled his sleeves to his elbows. He went to the bathroom to wash his hands and face and took off the isolator. Instantly, his expression became relaxed. He sat down on the sofa chair by the window and looked out the garden with a pensive expression. After a while, his bracelet rang, and he connected the call.

Darry said with excitement, “President Gu, Madam’s pheromone rejection illness is completely cured! She can be discharged at any time.”

Gu Liheng sat up straight, “How is my mother current condition?”

“Very good, she wants to see you.”

Gu Liheng looked down, “Is there no need for the Redthorn Ball fluid in the future?”

“Yes,” Darry said lightly.

Gu Liheng: “I will go to the hospital later.”

When he came downstairs, he ran into Su Ling who was passing by the corner of the stairs.

Su Ling smiled and said, “Domi said that lunch is ready and ready to eat.”

Su Ling smiled casually, and Gu Liheng glanced at it before shifting his eyes away, “I’m going to the hospital, you can eat first.”

Su Ling turned and went downstairs with him, “It’s urgent? You don’t want to eat lunch first?”

Gu Liheng stood still at the last step of the stairs and said, “En, thank you for your spiritual plant. My mother’s illness has been completely cured.”

Su Ling’s eyes brightened, and his tone was slightly raised in excitement, “That’s great! You are welcome, I am happy to be able to help.”

The boy’s voice was brisk, and Gu Liheng unconsciously relaxed. But the next moment, his heart sank slowly. His eyes fell on the young man’s face, and there was a long silence.

Su Ling had a not-so-good premonition, his smile gradually faded as he looked up at Gu Liheng, and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”

Gu Liheng: “I have borrowed the spiritual plant for a long time and will not need it in the future. I will arrange for someone to deliver the spiritual plant to your store later. You don’t have to worry about safety issues. I will order for a set of security facilities to be installed at your store as a thank you.

Then he paused and added, “Before you find a suitable spiritual plant specialist, Darry will go to your store to help harvest the raw materials every day. You can just discuss the time with Darry.”

After he finished speaking, his expression remained unchanged, and he looked at Su Ling quietly.

Su Ling bit his lower lip and barely squeeze out a smile, “What then?”

Gu Liheng looked at him without speaking.

Su Ling sighed, “I only lived in to help with the harvest process. Now that the spiritual plants are going to put back in the store, I don’t have a reason to continue staying here, right?”

Su Ling suddenly felt a little pain in his face, like he got slapped. Not long ago, he thought that he has an advantage over Zhao Qi but was kindly asked to leave in an instant. He thought for a while, there weren’t any problems with Gu Liheng’s actions at all, and he was very generous to offer the security facilities. But Su Ling still couldn’t help being angry, although he had no standpoint.

“You hated me that much?” He couldn’t help asking.

Gu Liheng: “No, you are a single Omega, it is not appropriate to live here.”

Su Ling: “I have lived for half a month! Why is it suddenly inappropriate?”

The words came out too quickly with a strong tone, and Su Ling regretted it after he finished speaking. This is just a temporary stay, after all. On the other hand, he changed his mindset and felt happy again. Before this when he started living with Gu Liheng, Gu Liheng never worries about him being an Omega, but now he has begun to think about their gender difference. The change was too obvious. He was treated as a child before, but now he is treated as an adult. This is also a good thing.

“I’m sorry,” he apologized neatly, bowing his head in annoyance, “I am just a little sad, not deliberately losing my temper.”

Gu Liheng stared at the top of Su Ling’s head and felt soft in his heart. His hand moved, but he didn’t do anything in the end, “It’s okay, I can help you if you can’t find a suitable place to live.”

Su Ling shook his head, “It’s alright, I’ll just live in the store.”

Gu Liheng frowned slightly, “The fragrance bar?”

Su Ling nodded. He rubbed his face and smiled when he looked up again, “Thank you, I am very happy during this time. You can go to the hospital now. I will take the spiritual plants by myself, and you don’t have to order the security facilities either.” His expression was solemn as he continued, “We were cooperating with each other before. Today, we are even. I don’t want to owe you favours or take advantage of you.” Then he paused, “Well, other than staying for free here.”

Gu Liheng: “…”

Su Ling saw his expression blanked out for a moment. With a smile in his eyes, Su Ling blinked playfully and announced, “I’ll have you know, I will officially chase you starting today.”

Su Ling stood on tiptoes and leaned closer, then he gave Gu Liheng a quick kiss on the chin. Gu Liheng’s tight expression collapsed, and he quickly took a step back. Su Ling smiled and said, “Finally, I don’t have to hold it in.” After that, he waved his hand, “Go to the hospital now, I promise you that I will be no longer in the villa when you returned.”

Gu Liheng’s heart was beating wildly, he stared until he couldn’t see Su Ling’s back, and lightly rubbed his chin. This is the first time he has been so close to an Omega. It has been quite a while, but the soft touch seems to remain. The feeling was delightful, so great that his heart shakes vividly. But no! Gu Liheng’s expression tightened more than usual. He glanced towards the guest room on the first floor and left quickly.

…

Su Ling went back to the guest room to pack his things. Next, he went to the spiritual plant room, put 3 spiritual plants in the space storage, and filled the remaining nutrient solution in a container. He went to the dining room for lunch and kept thinking about things during the meal. After eating, he did not leave immediately but went to the room where they kept the travel supplies. The equipment they used to go to the Silver Mist Forest were stored in it. He took the ones that Gu Liheng had prepared for him in his backpack, put on a camouflage suit, and opened the map around the villa in his bracelet. The long red line on the map where the ‘hole’ is located was very conspicuous. After he went out, he navigated along the red line.

The hillside villa area has rich greeneries, and there were not many villas around. Each house is separated by a distance, and the sense of privacy is perfect. As Su Ling ventured further, the road is getting harder and harder to walk, but because someone walked by not long ago, there are still some traces on the ground, and that makes his journey much more manageable. After he walked for an hour, he has reached a no man’s land. Su Ling released the spiritual plants and watched the surroundings vigilantly. He placed his hand on the isolator, prepared to take it off at any time if something is wrong.

Rustling sound could be heard from afar, and soon various animals appeared around him. With the experience he gained from the Silver Mist Forest, Su Ling felt calm, especially when the animals in the back mountain are small, such as squirrels and rabbits, and there are only a few larger animals, like wild boars. Hence, he didn’t rush to retrieve the spiritual plants. Instead, he gently rubbed the leaves and flowers of the 3 spiritual plants to encourage them to release a stronger fragrance. During this period, he has been paying attention to the state of the 3 plants and saw that they were thrilled to play with him; no abnormalities. This also means that the spiritual plant that scared them did not appear.

After a quarter of an hour, he took the 3 plants back into his space storage and removed his isolator. He has been walking for a long time and exercised a lot, so at this moment when the isolator was taken off, the back of his neck felt relaxed for a moment, and an unpleasant smell started to waft from his neck.

The animals attracted by the fragrance of the Grade A spiritual plants immediately ran away. There were 2 fat rabbits which bumped into each other and rolled forward. They got up with their ears erected and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Su Ling took the Cold Moon sachet and placed it in front of his nose. He continued to walk forward without attaching the isolator, and gradually entered the mountain. It is safer not to put the isolator on.

…

Gu Liheng got out of the living room and got into the car. After a glance at the villa, he said, “Go to the hospital.”

The car started, and Gu Liheng sent a message to someone. Right after that, he dialled a number, “I just gave you an address, go there and install the best security facilities in that place.”

“Okay, President Gu,” the other party paused and asked after a while, “Tian Ling Fragrance Bar?”

Gu Liheng: “That’s the one. The store opens at 7 pm, you can go there at that time… If the owner refuses, let him pay 90% discounted price, and I’ll pay the rest.”

The other party was stunned, “…alright.”

Soon, the car arrived at the hospital. Gu Liheng stood at the door of the ward for a while, then pushed the door in, pausing slightly. The room exudes a faint spiritual plant scent, which is very gentle. The person who stayed in this ward all-year-round was sitting on the sofa at this time, and their eyes met.

Mother Gu and Darry were sitting on the sofa drinking tea, and both looked over when the door opened.

Darry got up and greeted, “President Gu.”

Gu Liheng nodded.

Darry: “I’ll go through the discharge procedures.”

Darry closed the door when he left. Mother Gu looked at Gu Liheng, who was still standing by the door. She smiled and waved, her tone was slow and gentle, “Come and sit.”

From her appearance, Mother Gu doesn’t look a day after her thirties. Her hair was meticulously coiled up, and she was wearing a cheongsam; very elegant.

Gu Liheng sat opposite her and greeted, “Mother.”

Mother Gu looked at him with a neat smile, “How are you, Ah Heng? I heard you gave yourself three months holiday?”

Gu Liheng’s jaw slightly stiffened but was loosened quickly, “Yes.”

Mother Gu smiled and said, “Alright, you have been in charge of the Gu Family for many years. It is time to rest. Take advantage of this holiday and find an Omega to get married.”

Gu Liheng frowned slightly, “I don’t have this plan.”

Mother Gu continued to smile slightly, “Ah Heng, you are not young anymore, don’t be willful.”

Gu Liheng didn’t speak, and his mother’s smile disappeared. She put her hands on her knees and looked at him, “Your father’s bloodline must continue, and Gu Family can’t fall into the hands of others.”

Gu Liheng: “I am not the only one surnamed Gu.”

Mother Gu stared at him for a while, her voice revealed a helpless tone, “You, you are not young anymore but still being willful. I can’t educate you like I used to.”

Gu Liheng’s pupils shrunk slightly, and Mother Gu smiled faintly, “Forget it, let’s not talk about this right now. I will return to the Gu Mansion later.”

Gu Liheng nodded.

Mother Gu spoke again, “I have recovered at quite a right time, as my birthday is just one week away. I haven’t had a good time for so many years. Since you happened to be free this year, remember to organize my birthday party more lively.”

Gu Liheng: “I will order someone to arrange it.”

Mother Gu smiled and nodded, “I will take care of the invitation, you don’t need to worry.”

Gu Liheng glanced at her and acknowledged with an ‘En’. He knows his mother’s character too well. This so-called birthday party is nothing more than a blind date for him. All of a sudden, the young man’s smiling face suddenly appeared in his mind, and his face tightened slightly again.

The discharge procedures were quickly completed. Gu Liheng sent Mother Gu back to the Gu Mansion. When he returned to his villa, Su Ling was nowhere in sight. He stood in the living room for a while and suddenly felt too quiet and uncomfortable.

In the evening, Gu Liheng received a call from Nalu during dinner. As soon as the call got through, Nalu asked, “Is Xiao Ling with you? I can’t reach him.”

Gu Liheng frowned, “He didn’t go back?”

Nalu: “No, but someone is here to install some security facilities.”

Gu Liheng: “He left the villa this afternoon.”

PS – Please don’t ‘help’ me to add this in NU yo. This second part is not meant to be listed in NU. A fellow translator complained about this to me before, that her readers keep putting her chapters up in NU before she is ready. So now she has to make dummy pages to prevent the readers from doing so. Tsk tsk tsk

Without hesitation, Su Ling rushed towards the two. That movement caused the people beside the sofa to immediately notice him.

Gu Liheng was stunned when he saw Su Ling. The young man likes to smile usually, so this was the first time he saw him being furious.

Zhao Qi was feeling dizzy at the moment because he injected himself with the medicine to forcefully induce an estrus. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw Su Ling, “Why are you here?”

With an icy expression, Su Ling reached out and grabbed Zhao Qi’s left hand that was stretched out towards Gu Liheng. No matter how much Zhao Qi struggles, he firmly pulled him to the door. The force caused Zhao Qi to stagger. Short of breath, he tried to struggle but was completely powerless. His knees suddenly went soft, making his body fell forward and bumped into Su Ling. Though the bump from Zhao Qi didn’t have the strength, his body still carries the weight of a young adult. Moreover, Su Ling was walking in a hurry. Hence, when Zhao Qi bumped into him, his footing became unstable. He fell forward and let go of Zhao Qi’s hand.

Zhao Qi, on the other hand, lost the support and slumped onto the ground.

Su Ling scolded himself for being unlucky in his heart and readied himself for the fall. The next moment, a hold tightened at his waist, breaking his fall, and then he was embraced by his shoulders. He gained his footing, and Gu Liheng’s voice came beside his ear, “Are you all right?”

Su Ling heard his calm voice and felt calmer instantly. He stood properly and said, “I’m alright.”

“Unn…it’s so uncomfortable, help me.” Zhao Qi sat down on the ground and stretched out to pull at Gu Liheng’s trouser legs.

The sticky sweet pheromone smell has intensified in the air. Zhao Qi’s face was flushed abnormally, even his neck was dyed red. His skin looked pink and tender, and his eyes were dreamy with brimming tears. Anyone who saw him will want to care for him. The anger that Su Ling just calmed down flared up again and he immediately turned to look at Gu Liheng.

Gu Liheng’s expression was the same as usual, but his brows were slightly frowning. He took a step back, avoiding Zhao Qi’s hand. This concentration of pheromone is really tormenting for Alpha. He tugged at his collar to let the heat radiate a little, and handed the injection device to Su Ling, “Give him the injection, it’s his inhibitor.”

Su Ling took it without hesitation, ignoring Zhao Qi’s refusal, and injected the inhibitor into Zhao Qi’s arm.

Zhao Qi rested on the ground with his right hand and panted lightly. After a while, his eyes gradually became clearer, and the red flush on his face gradually receded.

Su Ling pulled Gu Liheng back to the sofa and make him sit down. Then he threw the injection device into the trashcan and went to pour a glass of water to Gu Liheng. Gu Liheng glanced at him, took the water and drank it. Watching as Gu Liheng drank the water, Su Ling noticed that his neck was red and immediately realized that he was affected by the pheromones but did not show it. Just as he is about to ask, Zhao Qi got up from the ground, gritted his teeth and asked again, “Why are you here?”

Su Ling stood up, glared at Zhao Qi, and harshly said, “I should ask you the same question.” He narrowed his eyes. “I’m warning you now, stay away from him and don’t even think about it.”

Zhao Qi sneered, “What does it matter to you?”

Su Ling’s chin raised slightly, “I like him, of course it’s my business.”

Gu Liheng’s action of putting down the glass stopped, his meticulous expression cracked, and he turned to look at Su Ling.

Su Ling was confronting Zhao Qi and did not pay attention to his gaze. He continued to warn Zhao Qi coldly, “The whole school knows that you like Xiào Rui. No matter what you are thinking, don’t involve him in it.”

Zhao Qi’s expression lost control for a moment when he heard Xiào Rui’s name, but he quickly recovered his composure. Gritting his teeth, his jaws tightened and loosened, “Liking him was a thing of the past, didn’t you like him as well before?!”

That got Su Ling feeling anxious, what if his male god gets a misunderstanding!

Su Ling: “Don’t talk nonsense, I only like President Gu.”

Zhao Qi laughed mockingly and looked at Gu Liheng. His unhealed injuries from a recent car accident and the scuffle earlier caused his pale face to become paler, pitiful like a small white flower.

Zhao Qi: “President Gu, I really admire you and want to marry you.”

Then he pointed to Su Ling, “Before he committed suicide, he personally made a birthday gift for Xiào Rui. I don’t know why he said he liked you, but I also know that he has severed ties with his family.”

Is Zhao Qi implying that he is chasing male god for his money? Su Ling glared at Zhao Qi, but thinking of the cards in his drawer in the Su House, he didn’t know how to refute the statement. The birthday gifts do exist. What a headache, how can he explain this?

After he threw out the provocation, Zhao Qi recalled Gu Liheng’s reaction earlier when he tried to throw himself at him. Realizing that the plan to make him responsible after having ‘physical relationship’ would not work, he smiled at Gu Liheng and said, “Sorry, my body has not fully recovered from a car accident previously, causing my pheromone to be unstable. I have caused you trouble.”

He politely apologized, then turned to leave. But before that, he gave Su Ling a serious look. Will this person who is supposed to be dead affect his plan?

Su Ling stared back until Zhao Qi completely left the villa. He sat down opposite Gu Liheng and looked at him frankly, “Don’t listen to Zhao Qi’s nonsense, I like you because of you, and it has nothing to do with your family background.”

Gu Liheng looked at him quietly with complicated eyes.

Su Ling tried to see the emotions from his emotionless face but failed. He leaned forward and pointed to his eyes, “Look into my eyes, I am not lying.” Then he smiled, “I didn’t tell you about this because I was afraid that you might think I’m not serious about feelings. I planed to confess after we have enough interaction time with each other.” He spoke a lot slower, “I like you for a long time.”

The young man’s light brown eyes were bright, his tone was frank and honest, which makes one feel no doubt about his confession. Gu Liheng’s expression moved slightly, and his eyes moved away from Su Ling’s face. His fingers curled up and slowly clenched his fists. Under his calm expression was a heart beating violently, but he could not respond in any way, because his situation would not bring any happiness to him(SL).

Su Ling saw that he did not speak, and directly stated his ultimate goal, “Will you marry me?”

Gu Liheng’s jaw tightened instantly, his thin lips pressed tightly, and loosened. His voice was not as steady as usual, tough and dry as he replied, “No.”

Startled by those words, Su Ling’s eyes widened, and he quickly sized up Zhao Qi. Zhao Qi was staring intently at him, his lips were pale and trembling slightly. When their eyes met, Zhao Qi took a step back uncontrollably, as if he was frightened.

Su Ling: “…” Could it be this person thought he is some kind of evil spirit?

He raised up his right eyebrow and said, “Are you cursing me?” Then he pointed at his cheek, and pointed at Zhao Qi’s face next, saying, “I looked much healthier than you, and you are still alive.”

Zhao Qi bit his lower lip and asked in a low voice, “Who are you? You,” he spoke extremely fast, with a hint of panic, “You obviously died from your suicide attempt!”

Glancing over Zhao Qi’s pale face, a big word ‘Rebirth’ appeared in Su Ling’s mind. He calmed and showed a confused expression.

“Did you dream about me when you were being treated in the hospital? We are classmates, so I might have just appeared in your dream if you were thinking about me. Although we do have clashes sometimes, I did not expect that you want me to die.” Then he sneered, “Don’t talk to me again in the future.”

After Su Ling said that, he immediately took two steps to the right. Zhao Qi wanted to block him, but his actions were too fast to stop. So, Su Ling quickly passed Zhao Qi and left the school. Leaving Zhao Qi behind him, he frowned. If Zhao Qi is really reborn, what will he(ZQ) do next? If so, he(SL) has to pay more attention to his male god. Just as he reached the school gate, his bracelet rang, and he answered the call.

Nalu: “Xiao Ling, the extractor you bought has arrived. Do you want to come and have a look?”

Su Ling reached out and stopped a taxi, “I’ll be there right away.”

The extractor is a commonly used tool for processing raw materials. He used it in his previous life when he made perfume. Belle Planet’s machinery is more advanced than his world. In the past few days, his only job was to assist Darry in harvesting the ball fluid. It’s a trivial task that can be completed in 10 minutes, and he doesn’t even need to prepare anything like he did for the exam, so he was very idle. Hence, he went to browse for some spiritual plant textbooks on the Internet. After reading about how to make fragrance, he especially wanted to make perfume, so he bought a small extractor.

Nalu: “Okay, what raw materials do you want to use for practice? I know many suppliers and can help to place an order for you.”

Su Ling got in the taxi, told the driver the address of the fragrance bar, and then said, “I’ll talk about it when I arrived.”

He still doesn’t know how to use the extractor of this world, so he will make the decision after checking and understanding how to operate the machine.

…

Zhao Qi kept staring at Su Ling’s back until he couldn’t see Su Ling’s figure, and then looked away. Those are definitely not dreams! Everything is the same, except for Su Ling, because Su Ling obviously killed himself. Zhao Qi stood there for a while, his expression changed several times and finally returned to his expressionless face. It doesn’t matter, Su Ling is an insignificant person. Zhao Qi looked forward with dark eyes. He gave everything to love someone, but in the end, he couldn’t even get a glance from that person. This time, he didn’t want it anymore. He will not let go of those two people who brought him endless pain!

Standing for a while, Zhao Qi turned and left the school. He came to school to find Su Ling and was not interested in graduation photos. Madam Gu should be in the hospital right now if he was not mistaken. In his previous life, he was injured during his freshman year. Then he met Madam Gu in the hospital and learned that his parents lent a helping hand to the Gu Family before. After that, using that favor, he married into Gu Family and helped his family get through some troubles at the time. But right now, he didn’t have the patience to wait until a few months later to meet Madam Gu. He got in the car and said to the driver, “The Central Hospital.”

Lin Meng’s family background is better than him, not to mention Xiào Rui’s family. To attack these two people, the Gu family is the most suitable choice. From his previous life experience, Zhao Qi is very confident about marrying into the Gu Family. He only needs to meet Madam Gu and let her know of his identity. As long as he expresses the will to marry Gu Liheng, there is absolutely no problem. Although he had never seen Gu Liheng, his former partner, straightforwardly before, he still knew Gu Liheng’s ability and character.

That person was extremely responsible, though he suspects that Gu Liheng might be s*xualy indifferent. Maybe it’s another illness or something else because it seems that Gu Liheng has no intention of getting married ever. However, that man didn’t refuse the marriage arranged by his mother, after making sure that the other party(ZQ) was not forced to marry. Zhao Qi remembered the scene where that man seriously asked him if he had decided to marry him, and pursed his lips.

President Gu is a good Alpha.

Zhao Qi decided that after finishing his two enemies, he would be better to Gu Liheng, his partner.

“We have arrived,” the driver reminded.

Zhao Qi got off the car and went to Madam Gu’s ward.

There were 6 bodyguards standing at the door. The ward was tightly protected, and no unnecessary people were allowed to enter. The few days is the critical period of the Madam’s last treatment, so the bodyguards stood ready and refused to let Zhao Qi in no matter what he said.

Zhao Qi frowned, he expressed his concern towards Madam Gu before leaving. He sat in the car for a long time, and the driver couldn’t help but advised, “Second Young Master, your body has not fully recovered yet, do you want to go back to rest?”

Zhao Qi: “No, go to the hillside villa district.”

Xiào Rui will gradually come to power in his family after graduating from high school. This summer vacation is a critical period for him. It will be troublesome to deal with Xiào Rui after the university starts.

…

Su Ling spent the morning in the backyard of the Fragrance Bar. He already understood how to operate the extractor, and he has also extracted a small bottle of rose essential oil.

After reading some reports, Nalu went to the backyard to find him, “Let’s have lunch together?”

Su Ling shook his head and said, “No, I’ll go back to the villa.”

His male god has vacated his schedule for a three-month holiday. Even if he was in Belle City these days, he would only occasionally handle some official business in the villa. Su Ling wants to go back to have lunch with his male god, and he has to guard against Zhao Qi as well.

Nalu looked at Su Ling, hesitate to speak, but he still asked after a moment, “Could it be you have fallen for President Gu?”

Su Ling laughed and turned to look at Nalu, “Was it obvious?” He sighed and said, “But President Gu doesn’t seem to feel it.”

With a serious expression, Nalu asked, “Are you sure about this? He is 10 years older than you, and…” He paused when he thought of the rumors that he didn’t dare to spread, “He may not be in good health.”

Su Ling couldn’t help laughing, “Uncle Nalu, I’m an adult, you don’t need to say it so tactfully, I know what you mean. Ain’t it just a s*xual disorder? Those were only rumors.

Nalu stared at him, “How do you know?” He grabbed Su Ling’s shoulder, “What did he do to you?” As he said that, Nalu checked the back of Su Ling’s neck.

Su Ling turned his head to let him look, “Did you forget about the smell of my pheromone? You overthink. I have seen him work out, and his physical fitness is superb.”

Nalu persuaded with his heart and soul, “That ‘thing’ has nothing to do with the body fitness. You are too young to understand. If you want to fall in love, I can introduce someone else to you.”

Su Ling patted Nalu’s arm on his shoulder and said with a smile, “Uncle Nalu, don’t worry. I just want to fall in love with him.”

Nalu stared at him for a few seconds and reminded, “Okay, but you have to pay attention to safety. Don’t proceed with complete marking, as it is easy to get pregnant afterward.”

Su Ling nodded, “I know.”

Although Su Ling has read the physiology textbook and has a deep understanding of his new body, it does not mean that he could accept it well; at least he is not mentally prepared for pregnancy. However, he is quite curious about marking, whether it is temporary marking or complete marking. After all, things like this are entirely different from his world.

Waving to Nalu, Su Ling took a taxi back to the villa. He contacted the villa driver on the road, changed the car halfway, and went straight to the villa. As soon as he walked into the hall, the smell of sticky sweet pheromone wafted over his face. He saw Gu Liheng stood blankly beside the sofa, holding the flushed Zhao Qi in his right hand, and holding an injection device in his left hand.

Zhao Qi twisted his body to avoid the injection device and leaned his body on Gu Liheng, “Don’t wanna use inhibitors, you help me.”

Su Ling was mad.

How could the reborn Zhao Qi have the face to do such a thing!

The police officer used some devices to scan around the villa for a long time, but they didn’t find any abnormalities. After they left, the three returned to the spiritual plant room again. The spiritual plants were still trembling, and Su Ling finally managed to calm them down after quite some time.

Darry harvested the Redthorn ball liquid and left. Su Ling pointed towards a villa that is located on lower ground and asked Gu Liheng, “Do you know the owner of that villa?”

Gu Liheng knew what he wanted to ask and gave the answer that he wanted to know, “Not a nonsense person.”

Su Ling frowned slightly and moved his gaze from the spiritual plants to Gu Liheng, “Maybe there is a problem because they don’t look right.”

Gu Liheng nodded, obviously thinking the same thing and said, “It’s impossible to not leave any traces at all.”

Late at night, in the room on the second floor of the villa, Su Ling and Gu Liheng were sitting on the sofa, looking at the holographic screen in front of them. On the holographic display is the real-time monitoring of all parts of the villa. It was arranged in the form of nine square grids, with the spiritual plant room in the middle. Domi didn’t sound the alarm the night before, so they decided to observe the situation for themselves. Each grid looked calm, and it has been like that since 9 pm. The three spiritual plants were also quiet. Their flowers and branches remained still, unlike their usual waving movement during the day.

Su Ling brought his legs up and rested his chin on his knees, while his eyes are still fixed on the screen.

Gu Liheng tilted his head to look at Su Ling and said, “Go to rest first.”

Su Ling shook his head, and his voice carried a slightly tired tone, “No, I’m curious about what happened.”

Gu Liheng: “I’ll call you if something comes up.”

Su Ling smiled at him, “It’s okay, I have nothing to do tomorrow. I will take a nap in the afternoon to make up for it.”

His gaze fell on the screen again, then his back straightened suddenly. Pulling at Gu Liheng’s sleeve, Su Ling whispered, “The spiritual plants are reacting.”

Initially, their branches and leaves were swaying slightly. Then the movement became frantic, and they looked panicked. Gu Liheng expanded the monitoring screen of the spiritual plant room and its surroundings and observed carefully. Su Ling also stared intently at the screen. One minute passed, but there was no change in the rest of the area except for spiritual plants swaying like they suffered from a manic episode.

After a while, Gu Liheng frowned: “The nutrient solution has become less.”

Su Ling immediately looked at the lower right corner of the spiritual plant room, where a transparent container with a diameter of more than 1 meter was placed. The bucket was filled with light blue nutrient solution, which would be used on to the spiritual plants every morning.

Growing a low-level spiritual plant is very simple. It can grow to maturity through handling by automated machinery, but a high-level spiritual plant cannot be cultivated by the same method. The nutrient solution watered everyday needs won’t be the same each day because it needs to be adjusted according to the situation of the spiritual plant at that time. These nutrient solutions were specially prepared for the three spiritual plants.

Su Ling stared at the height of the nutrient solution and soon found that the nutrient solution is gradually decreasing. He glanced around the container and found no holes nor water stains on the ground.

Gu Liheng got up, “I’ll go and see.”

Su Ling immediately put on his shoes and followed behind Gu Liheng. When the two arrived in the spiritual plant room, Gu Liheng walked to the nutrient solution container and lifted the entire container up. An unpleasant smell came out instantly, like rancid meat, mixed with the smell of rotten eggs.

Su Ling pinched his nose, knelt down and looked at the bottom of the container. A thin black line is connected to the edge of the container from the floor. The end of the thin black line is opened up like a morning glory; which was stuck to the bottom of the container. The next second, the black line shook and suddenly detached from the container, then dropped to the ground flexibly.

Everything happened at the blink of an eye. Su Ling was startled and subconsciously backed away. His center of gravity was unstable and almost causing him to fell down. Fortunately, he managed to support himself on the floor with his hands in time. Liquid flowed out from where the ‘black line’ was initially stuck at the bottom of the container.

Gu Liheng looked at him, “Are you all right?”

Shaking his head, he told Gu Liheng what he had just seen.

Gu Liheng placed the container aside and checked the floor where Su Ling said the black line left. Su Ling also leaned forward to see. There was a fingertip-sized black hole on the floor, which was very conspicuous on the white floor tiles. Frowning, Gu Liheng asked Domi to change the container of the nutrient solution. Then he called someone to come over to deal with the hole on the floor. A professional came and took the measurement of the hole. After that, he cut into the floor around the hole and packed it in a special bag. “There is strong corrosive liquid left in the ground, which requires laboratory testing to know further.”

The other personnel dug the hole a little deeper, took the soil from the ground, and temporarily sealed the hole. After the person left, Gu Liheng looked at Su Ling and said, “The result should be out tomorrow morning, so go and rest now.”

Nodded, Su Ling also knew that it is useless to stay up, and went back to the room to sleep. He got up late in the morning. When he went to the dining room, Gu Liheng had already eaten. He went to the living room after breakfast, and heard someone reporting to Gu Liheng, “It is getting deeper and deeper, the workload is huge, so the progress is slow.”

The holographic screen in front of Gu Liheng was a map of the villa area with a bright red line. He glanced at it and said, “Continue.”

The man nodded and walked out of the living room.

Su Ling propped his hand on the sofa behind Gu Liheng, and asked curiously, “What is this?”

Gu Liheng: “The trail from the hole found last night.”

“So long?” Su Ling was surprised, “Did the result come out? What is that?”

He was standing behind Gu Liheng, and he leaned his head forward in order to see the map clearly. Hence, his breath swept the side of Gu Liheng’s neck when he spoke.

Gu Liheng’s fingertips twitched. He tilted his head slightly and pointed to the sofa, “Sit down and talk.”

Su Ling went around the sofa and sat down beside him.

Gu Liheng: “It’s a spiritual plant. Some spiritual plant cultivator speculated that it might be Grade S,” he looked at Su Ling before continuing, “The residual trace detection result showed that it was similar to the round particles found on the three Grade A spiritual plants previously.”

Su Ling immediately understood what this meant, and asked, “Doctor Ni An checked it?”

Gu Liheng nodded, “Grade S, and it appeared in the spiritual plant room, caused the Grade A spiritual plants panic, and… the smell, I think this may be related to Xian Mo Yu. So I asked Doctor Ni An to help.”

Su Ling recalled the smell of last night. It was indeed similar to his current pheromone smell. He looked at the map and found that the red line had reached the back mountain of the villa area. The back mountain was not very high, but it was wavy and uneven. The entire location was vast as well.

He suddenly realized one thing, “Can the Grade S spiritual plant move?”

Gu Liheng: “Yes,” he said calmly, “it could move, but it’s fine. Since it has appeared, we will definitely find it.”

Su Ling knew that Gu Liheng said that to comfort him. Although he couldn’t be sure whether it is Xian Mo Yu or not, he still smiled; at least they have progress.

Gu Liheng has arranged for someone to track the spiritual plant along the trail. However, the track was lost 3 days later, and the hole suddenly disappeared.

It crossed Su Ling’s mind before about taking the spiritual plants and nutrient solution to ‘fishing’ where the trace disappeared. However, there is no access road in the back mountain, and it is a long-distance too. If he really went for it, he won’t be able to return within a day. The Redthorn Ball was startled, and Darry couldn’t get the ball liquid without him. Since they won’t be needing the liquid anymore in a few days, Su Ling pressed down this idea and decided to set out in a few days. He was looking at the map of the back mountain when he received the Lin Meng’s call.

Lin Meng said in a brisk tone, “Ling Ling, I have filled it out my form. Saint Rose, now we can continue to be classmates!”

Su Ling smiled, “Great.”

The two chatted for a while, then Lin Meng asked, “By the way, have you seen Zhao Qi?”

Su Ling raised his eyebrows, “What happened to him?”

Lin Meng: “He had a car accident a few days ago. He and his brother went to the racing track together. Then he got into an accident. Many classmates have visited him already.”

Su Ling thought for a while, and said, “I won’t go, as I will affect his mood.”

Lin Meng laughed, “I’m not going either. He definitely doesn’t want to see me. By the way, you said before that you can’t attend the graduation ceremony. What about now?”

Su Ling: “I can go now.”

…

The graduation ceremony was on the last day of June, which is also a day for students to exchange their opinions with each other before filling in their university application form. Su Ling was dragged around the school by Lin Meng to take pictures for memories. In the end, both of them were a little tired from all the running around.

Lin Meng’s bracelet rang. After reading the message, his face turned red, but the corners of his mouth couldn’t stop curving up. “Ling Ling, sorry, I have something to do.”

Seeing him like this, Su Ling thought of the male lead who is going to graduate at the same time, and instantly understood, “Go ahead, we have finished taking the photos anyway.”

After Lin Meng left, Su Ling slowly headed outside the school. He has already filled it his form and didn’t need to discuss it with anyone. When approaching the school gate, he caught a glimpse of Zhao Qi walked towards him. Zhao Qi was walking very slowly and seemed to be a little uncomfortable. Su Ling glanced at him, then retracted his gaze and continued walking. But a few steps later, Zhao Qi blocked in front of him. Zhao Qi was frowning, and his eyes were much more restrained than the blatant disdain before, but he is still unfriendly. Su Ling tried to get around him but stopped on his track by his(ZQ) words.

“Aren’t you supposed to be dead?” Zhao Qi stared intently at him.
