After a simple dinner, the hour hand of the grandfather clock just landed on eight.
Although Ye Xuan and Ling Jiaze are not night owls, eight o'clock in the evening is obviously not their rest time. Normally, at this time, Ye Xuan would be busy with the orders in the base in an empty room on the second floor, either to purify the crystal nucleus or to give birth to various plants. Ling Jiaze was sitting on the rocking chair next to him to absorb the crystal nuclei. Sometimes Ye Xuan was too busy, and he would help sort out the list and give him the right list.
But Ye Xuan just came back from outside today, and he is still in a period of burnout after a busy day and finally returning home. Taking a bath, having dinner, solving the personal hygiene requirements and filling the stomach is the limit. I really don't have the energy to go upstairs and work hard.
Sitting lazily on the comfortable sofa at home, looking at Ling Jiaze who was washing dishes in the kitchen, he suddenly felt a sense of tranquility.
"Boom boom boom—"
But soon, this feeling of peace and tranquility was broken by the mutated plants outside who finally expected him to come back, but did not receive any supernatural supplements. Hearing the sound of Bougainvillea knocking on the door, he struggled to get up from the soft sofa, and said to Ling Jiaze: "Those little ancestors outside are making a fuss, I'll go out and have a look!"
"Go, these few days when you're not here, they're like eggplants beaten by frost, and they don't have much energy to do anything. I guess they miss you so much."
For some reason, Ye Xuan felt that what Ling Jiaze said was not only about the mutated plants outside. He replaced the protagonist with the words, and found that the words seemed to make sense after he replaced them.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he still didn't speak out about his little problem, and went out slowly step by step to appease those mutated plants.
Perhaps it was because he was keenly aware of the change in his ability level. Although several mutant plants with higher levels approached him when he first arrived in the yard, none of them dared to approach him casually and intimately like before. They came up, but they all stopped one meter away from him.
The more times the mutated plants are irrigated by the wood-type supernatural powers, the more times they reproduce, the closer the connection with the owner will be, and the faster the strength will increase.
The energy of the eighth-level power user is a bit too powerful for these mutated plants of the third and fourth levels. If one is not careful, the colorful flowers in this yard will be overgrown, and they will directly form seeds to start the next life.
Ye Xuan thought about it for a while, but gave up the idea of giving the mutated plants in the yard a big change and forcibly improving their strength. After all, the plants in the yard are not aggressive, and they are just for housekeeping and looking good. The strength is almost equal to the humans in the base. There is no need to make the base the highest combat effectiveness, but it is easier to attract people's taboo.
However, it can be put on the agenda to improve the strength of those mutated plants with high lethality.
After instilling abilities into the mutated plants one by one according to their conditions, and helped a few mutated plants that were on the verge of being promoted to cross the hurdle, Ye Xuan was about to go back to the house after a final inspection, but when he looked up, he saw Ling Jiaze Leaning against the door panel, looking at him with an unpredictable expression.
Ye Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't bother to check the yard. He quickly stood up and wanted to walk towards Ling Jiaze, but when he reached the steps, he subconsciously stopped where he was. He knew what he should do after walking up the steps to Ling Jiaze.
"you… "
"I… "
The two spoke at the same time, but fell silent at the same time when they heard each other's voice.
A few seconds later, Ling Jiaze sighed lightly, and said again: "It's cold outside, let's talk first."
—
Ye Xuan anxiously followed Ling Jiaze into the house, sat stiffly on the sofa, looked at Ling Jiaze who was sitting across from him silently, and didn't know whether he should confess first or wait for him to ask.
"Ye Xuan..."
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Jiaze finally spoke to break the oppressive silence that filled the room.
Ye Xuan replied without thinking: "I'm here, tell me!"
"What level is your ability at now?"
"At the beginning of the eighth stage."
After hearing this answer, Ling Jiaze froze for a moment. Although he found that the strength of his ability had been greatly improved when Ye Xuan used it just now, he did not expect it to be so strong.
Among the tens of thousands of supernatural beings in the entire northwest base, except for him, no one else has touched the fifth level, but he has already reached the eighth level, a level that many people have never seen before. How could it not surprise him
His entire language system was a bit confused, and he said incoherently: "Your level...what's the beginning of the eighth level, it's time to go out..."
Ye Xuan probably understood what he meant, and followed his words: "It has something to do with some things I encountered during my trip."
Ling Jiaze asked without thinking: "Is that dangerous for you?"
Ye Xuan didn't expect that his first reaction in this situation would be to determine whether he was in danger, and he was slightly taken aback before shaking his head and saying, "No danger."
"Then you..." Ling Jiaze wanted to ask him again what happened to him when he went out this time, and what new secrets he couldn't tell himself. After typing up the manuscript several times, he couldn't think of one that could get the answer without being too stiff. A questioning style that hurts the feelings between them.
In other words, he didn't know whether he should take the risk of ruining the relationship between the two of them, which was an unacceptable result, to ask a secret that might be meaningless even if he knew it.
"This time the matter is a bit involved, and I don't know the bottom line in my heart, so let me start from the beginning."
Once this head has been opened, the rest will be easier to say.
"After I sensed that there was something that the vines wanted nearby, I followed this feeling to a mountain in the south of the Northwest Base. I don't know the name of the mountain, but I drove about two miles from the south gate of the base. An undeveloped mountain on the side of the road around an hour, it looks nothing special except for a little lush vegetation."
"After arriving on the mountain, I wandered around alone for a while, but I didn't find any clues. Then I met a group of students from the base in City C, and I accidentally learned from them that they had been in a place where there were no plants nearby. I lived in a cave overnight, which is obviously abnormal for a mountain full of plants, so I followed their lead to find the cave, and found a winding path inside the cave."
"When I entered the cave, my ability improved. But I asked the vines, the things in the cave are not dangerous to me, and you know that if something happens to me, she will die with me, so I walked into that path. I don't know how long I walked, at least three or four hours, maybe a little more, and I finally came to the end of the path and entered a Inside the stone chamber."
When talking about the stone room, Ye Xuan paused for a few seconds before continuing: "In that stone room, I met a somewhat magical existence, and learned something from it that sounded incredible. About this matter I am still not sure whether I want to keep my memory, so I can’t decide whether to tell you or not. And the improvement of my ability level is also related to what I heard, so it can be regarded as an opportunity exclusively for me. After that, I came out of that stone room, and the way I went in disappeared completely without knowing what."
Ye Xuan bit his lip, looked into Ling Jiaze's eyes and said, "That's all I can confess to you now, do you think it's okay?"
After speaking, he closed his eyes gently like a prisoner about to stand trial, waiting for the final verdict of the "judge" Ling Jiaze.
After a long time, he heard Ling Jiaze stand up from the sofa, walk in front of him step by step, then leaned over and hugged him.
He opened his eyes, trying to see Ling Jiaze's expression clearly, but he blocked his sight, and he could only hear him say in a slightly choked voice: "Ye Xuan, I don't know what you kept secret from me, but I trust your judgment. This is the last time I will ask you these things on my own initiative, and it will be up to you to judge in the future, and then decide whether to tell me, okay?"
Ye Xuan didn't expect him to say such a thing, he was stunned for a few seconds before he realized the meaning of his words, stretched out his arms to hug him, and said distressedly: "You don't have to do this, you don't have to do this step."
Ye Xuan knew that Ling Jiaze would definitely be able to see the secrets, big or small, that he had been with for so long, and he just pretended not to know them all the time.
He has also been worried that one day Ling Jiaze will suddenly ask him. He has typed many drafts in his heart but has not come up with a charter, so he can only try not to think about these things.
The two pretended to be deaf and dumb together, and only then stumbled into their current life.
But even if you pretend not to know, those secrets are still there, and they will never disappear.
So there is today's thing.
But no matter what, he never expected that after his confession without mentioning any important points, he would get such a trusting answer and a promise not to ask questions again.
He knew that what Ling Jiaze said was not a lie, but this knowledge made him feel even more uncomfortable.
How much does this person trust himself, and how much he cherishes this relationship, to say such a thing and make such a decision
"Ling Jiaze", Ye Xuan kissed his reddened eyes, and promised earnestly: "Although I can't judge how I should be honest with you now, I can assure you that I will never be honest with you again in my life. Half lied to you about other things—I love you more than anything."
