"Is it really that amazing? Can we do that too?"
Hearing Xiaobei’s serious reply, everyone who’d been staring straight at Xiaobei looked at him with barely contained excitent.
They also wanted to modify plants. They felt that if they could do sothing like that, it would definitely be especially fun.
Glancing at their excited faces, Xiaobei gently shook his head.
Then Xiaobei chuckled and said, "The True Qi in your bodies isn’t of the Wood Series, so it’s really, really hard for you to pull this off."
Earlier, when Xiaobei had crossed moves with Jing, he’d already seen through everything.
So Xiaobei knew the True Qi in their bodies didn’t belong to the Wood Series at all, but was instead closer to the Ice Series.
In that case, there was naturally no way for them to modify these seeds...
On the contrary, if they insisted on channeling True Qi into the seeds, not only would they fail to modify them, they would instead completely drain the seeds’ Life Force, turning them into useless seeds that would never sprout.
"So that’s how it is!"
Everyone’s faces were full of regret.
Seeing them instantly wilt, Xiaobei laughed and took the initiative to suggest, "There’s no need for you to feel regret. It’s not like I’m going anywhere. From now on, just leave all this stuff to ."
"That’s true!"
Watching them gradually brighten up again, Xiaobei smiled lightly and started planting the next batch.
Three hours later, tomatoes, cucumbers, spinach, rapeseed, celery, and all kinds of other vegetables had been planted.
"This view is really so beautiful!"
"Yeah!"
Hearing their heartfelt exclamations, Xiaobei smiled, continued using Nine Wood True Qi to modify the remaining seeds, and after modifying them, kept planting...
This made the planting area here expand at a rapid pace...
...
That night, Xiaobei was sitting together with all of them.
On the table in front of Xiaobei were ten dishes...
All of these dishes were made from the vegetables Xiaobei had planted earlier.
They weren’t good at growing things, but they were fairly skilled at cooking.
Half an hour ago, they’d taken the freshly picked vegetables to the kitchen, and very soon, plates of dishes with perfect color, aroma, and taste were brought out.
Seeing Xiaobei look over them one by one, Lin Ya, sitting by his side, smiled softly. "Well? How’s the presentation on these dishes?"
"Looks great!"
"Since you think they look good, then you’d better have a proper taste!"
"True!"
Agreeing, Xiaobei picked up his chopsticks...
The al lasted a full two hours...
In the end, only Xiaobei and Lin Ya were left here. Lin Ya picked up the teapot, poured him a glass of water, and said very seriously, "Xiaobei, little brother, I really have to thank you. If it weren’t for you, we really wouldn’t have seen such a big change here."
"I told you before, there’s no need to be so polite with ."
"Yeah, I guess I’m being a bit lodramatic!"
She smiled faintly and looked at Xiaobei gently. At that mont, a touch of tenderness flashed in her eyes.
Reading the look in her eyes, Xiaobei chuckled. "What? You dare to et my eyes now? Not shy anymore?"
"I already thought it through before—sooner or later I won’t be able to escape the palm of this little bastard’s hand, so there’s no need to keep being shy, no need to keep dodging."
Before, for many reasons, Lin Ya had only hatred for the opposite sex!
Now, because of Xiaobei, her view of n had changed a lot.
So, her idea of never marrying in this lifeti had gradually faded.
Hearing words that were practically a confession, Xiaobei smiled softly. Very soon, he closed his fingers around her small, pale hand.
So smooth and boneless!
The mont he held it, Xiaobei secretly praised it in his heart...
...
"Ah!"
Lin Ya, ambushed by Xiaobei, tensed up all over!
Right now, even her breathing had turned rapid...
Before this, she had never had any physical contact with a man, let alone sothing like holding hands.
"Do you really need to be this nervous? It’s not like I’m a tiger!"
Feeling her heartbeat getting faster and faster, Xiaobei knew she was extrely nervous right now.
To help ease her nerves, Xiaobei deliberately teased her in a soft voice.
Hearing Xiaobei’s gentle teasing, she muttered shyly, "I...I’m not nervous at all! W-why would I be nervous?"
Hearing Lin Ya’s faint, stubborn refutation, Xiaobei burst out laughing. "Not nervous? Then how co soone’s heart is pounding so fast?"
"Anyway...anyway I’m just not nervous!"
"Haha!"
Chuckling, Xiaobei looked at her, still trying to argue her way through, and felt that she’d beco a bit more adorable.
"Won really are multifaceted creatures!"
With a sincere sigh, Xiaobei gazed at her and said very solemnly, "Preparations are almost done. I’m planning to head out tonight and dive into that pool again."
The originally shy Lin Ya, upon hearing this, instantly panicked. "Tonight? That’s way too rushed! And at night, isn’t that even worse? How about you wait till tomorrow in broad daylight instead?"
Looking at the anxious Lin Ya, Xiaobei smiled lightly. "Honestly, there’s not much difference between day and night. I’m in a hurry to go in because I want to get to the bottom of it as soon as possible, otherwise who knows what might happen if we drag it out too long! Don’t worry, I’m much better prepared this ti than last ti, and, worst-case scenario, if I really can’t hold on, I’ll just co back again. After all, I still want to stay alive."
"But..."
"You really don’t need to worry about ! I promise, I’ll be fine!"
"Alright, I won’t say anything more, but if you run into danger, you have to co back right away, got it?"
"Mm! I will!"
As they spoke, Xiaobei stood up.
Seeing him stand, Lin Ya quickly stood up as well.
Xiaobei knew Lin Ya once again wanted to go there with him.
Glancing at Lin Ya, who clearly wanted to tag along, Xiaobei quickly and earnestly chuckled. "Lin Ya, I know you want to wait for —I agree. But this ti, let’s change the place where you wait!"
"Change the place? Change to where?"
With a small smile, Xiaobei leaned in close to her flushed ear and whispered, "Change to your room. This ti, wait for in your room. Once I’m done exploring, I’ll co to your room to find you!"
"Co to my room?"
She froze for a second. The slightly dazed Lin Ya gradually understood what Xiaobei ant...
In that instant, a hint of shy color spread across her face.
Seeing that she’d figured out what he was getting at, Xiaobei laughed and said, "Since you understand, then just be Guaiguai and wait for in your room. Even if it’s just for you, I’ll definitely do my best."
"Got it."
Lin Ya nodded...
"Then I’m off."
With that, Xiaobei strode away, but he’d only taken two steps when he heard Lin Ya call out to him.
"What is it?"
Startled, he turned his head, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Lin Ya, who was biting her lower lip...
