The little girl's reaction left Shen Qiang sowhat surprised, yet also sowhat comforted.
Sitting on the bench by the park, watching Xin Xiaoting, who snuggled up to his side, fragrant and soft, Shen Qiang smiled and took out a jewelry box. After opening it, he placed it in front of Xin Xiaoting, who sweetly looked at the artificial river.
For an instant, Xin Xiaoting was stunned.
The red tourmaline, under the streetlight, reflected light as if it were a rose.
"Is this for ?" Xin Xiaoting imdiately sat up straight, looking at Shen Qiang with surprise and joy.
Shen Qiang grinned, took the tourmaline ring, and gently slid it onto Xin Xiaoting's slender left middle finger. The tourmaline ring, emitting a beautiful rose-red glow, made Xin Xiaoting's fingers appear even more delicate and creamy.
"Is this a proposal?" Xin Xiaoting asked with her cheeks flushing, a mix of surprise and delight in her voice.
Shen Qiang laughed, "Wearing it on your left middle finger ans you're engaged now."
Xin Xiaoting's eyes curled into a smile, sweetly kissing Shen Qiang's face.
Afterward, she snuggled into Shen Qiang's arms and whispered softly, "I really wish I never had to take exams, so I could stay here with you forever."
Shen Qiang grinned, "From your ho to the Provincial City, it's just about half an hour by high-speed train. Seeing , it's really not too difficult."
Hearing this, Xin Xiaoting smiled sweetly.
Lost in their affectionate world, amidst flowers and moonlight, ti slipped away unnoticed until midnight, the intimate pair returned to Xin Xiaoting's aunt's house. After an intense trembling encounter, exhausted and utterly satisfied, Xin Xiaoting finally fell asleep.
Early the next morning.
Shen Qiang, who had cultivated all night, was full of energy. Feeling Xin Xiaoting wake up beside him, he imdiately wanted to kiss her, but to his surprise, the sleepy-eyed Xin Xiaoting suddenly sneezed.
"Achoo!"
Following Xin Xiaoting's sneeze, Shen Qiang's mind bood.
"Master! Master!" A shocked and sowhat trembling voice of Qingxuan called out.
With his thoughts entering the Sea of Consciousness, Shen Qiang looked in horror as the Plague Seed, which had once been lifeless and looked like an olive, had already cracked open.
Not only had thin roots appeared beneath the seed.
At the top where the seed had cracked open, three triangular leaves were visibly spreading out at an astonishing speed.
In between the three leaves, there was sothing like a bead, smooth and arc-shaped.
It actually looked sowhat like a bald head hidden in the bushes.
And almost at the mont Shen Qiang thought this,
The three leaves had already ford a complete shape.
Mist grass!
Is it sprouting already?
Could it burst my brain?
Almost in the instant Shen Qiang was shocked, the newly sprouted Plague Source began fluttering its leaves.
"Want to eat, want to eat!" A child-like yet intense emotion suddenly appeared in Shen Qiang's mind.
Shen Qiang was startled, "The seed can talk!"
Qingxuan beside him was bewildered, "Master, what's wrong? It didn't say anything."
Shen Qiang was shocked.
At the sa ti, he strangely felt the emotion coming from the Plague Source with its fluttering leaves.
"Want to eat, want to eat, want to eat!"
Shen Qiang was astounded, puzzled, and tentatively responded in his mind, "What do you want to eat? at? Water? Soil?"
The Plague Seed's emotions beca sowhat irritable.
"Want to eat, want to eat, want to eat!"
Shen Qiang was astounded, and hesitantly replied in his mind, "Is what you want to eat here?"
"Want to eat, want to eat, want to eat!"
The emotions transmitted by the Plague Seed beca increasingly clear and increasingly urgent.
This left Shen Qiang, who was utterly clueless about what it truly desired, sowhat frustrated, so he couldn't help but respond in his mind, "If it's here, then eat it."
Boom!
It was just a mont.
The germinating roots of the Plague Seed burst forth in an instant.
The dense root system, similar to blood vessels, covered Shen Qiang's entire body in nearly an instant.
Qingxuan was shocked to the point of being pale!
But at this mont, Shen Qiang was stunned.
Unlike Qingxuan, who could only reside in the Sea of Consciousness without the power to control Shen Qiang's body,
Shen Qiang could clearly feel that in just an instant, the roots of the Plague Source that suddenly erupted had completely taken over the immune system of Shen Qiang's own body.
Boom!
His thoughts followed the roots spreading from the burst of the Plague Source.
Shen Qiang watched in horror as the roots of the Plague Source, which had rapidly invaded the immune organs of the body, absorbed the pathogens that the immune organs needed to handle in almost an instant.
Not only that, what shocked Shen Qiang even more was that it also absorbed the mutated tumor cells, aging cells, dead cells, and other harmful substances in his body.
On this basis, it repaired the organs and so internal tissues that had been damaged due to the cultivation process.
In almost an instant, Shen Qiang's body was restored to a condition as pristine as new.
It must be understood that whether walking, moving, working, or cultivating,
the body would sustain so minor damage that did not affect its function and was often imperceptible.
This type of damage is generally regulated and repaired by the body automatically.
Simply put, feeling exhausted and sore after a full day of work is actually due to minor internal damage that recovers vitality after sleep and rest.
This usually takes a considerable amount of ti.
But now, in just an instant, every part of Shen Qiang's body had recovered to its optimal state.
This made Shen Qiang ecstatic, because this Plague Source was simply a Divine Artifact for regulating the body!
Almost at the sa ti, Shen Qiang suddenly noticed that the roots that had spread throughout his body were gradually receding.
Not only that, to his astonishnt, Shen Qiang could clearly feel that there was sothing extra in the Plague Source at this mont.
Shen Qiang carefully examined it.
And then he was startled to discover.
The veins of the three leaves of the Plague Source had absorbed bacteria, fungus, and germs.
They resided separately within the three leaves, not disturbing each other.
Yet, they circulated back and forth within the leaves like water.
At the sa ti, as the germs, bacteria, and fungus circulated within the leaves of the Plague Source,
Shen Qiang once again sensed emotions coming from the Plague Source.
"Yummy, yummy!"
Shen Qiang smiled; this thing was too miraculous, it turned out that it fed on microorganisms. In this way, it could help Shen Qiang get rid of bacteria, germs, fungi, and various antigens in the body.
It was like having an extra immune system inside the body!
Such a wonderful treasure, what was there to fear? How could it possibly have led to the destruction of Central State in the Immortal Realm? There must be so misunderstanding.
Shen Qiang thought happily.
But just then, as the fungus, bacteria, and germs circulated within the leaves like water,
the three leaves of the Plague Source all turned a lush green.
"Is it undergoing photosynthesis?"
The delighted Shen Qiang checked, but in just an instant, he froze, and a chill ran up his spine from the tailbone to the top of his head.
Because he clearly saw that what had been an ordinary B-type influenza virus was...
evolving within the leaves!
