Looking at Wu Chengyue’s slightly sullen face, Duan Juan walked in with a smile.
“What’s the news from our base? What happened?” Lin Qiao looked at her and asked.
The message that came from All Beings Base at that moment was definitely urgent. Did something bad happen in the base?
Hearing Duan Juan’s words, Wu Chengyue gave a sigh and waited to hear the news. Lin Qiao didn’t ask him to leave, meaning that he was allowed to hear the conversation that was going to happen between her and Duan Juan.
“It’s good news. Wenwen is back,” said Duan Juan to Lin Qiao with a grin.
Lin Qiao was delighted to hear that. “Oh! Really? How is she?”
“She seems fine. I heard that her second superpower has upgraded successfully. Her space has expanded largely too. She brought back a lot of great stuff. Look!” Duan Juan pointed at the letter in her hand while speaking. There were some things that she could not speak out loud.
Lin Qiao read the letter, then popped her eyes with surprise. “Eh? No way! Is this real?” she exclaimed.
The letter was written to her by Lin Feng. Lin Wenwen did not only return safely, but also explained to the others about why she disappeared earlier. She was not in her own space. Instead, she traveled through the time to seven years ago.
“Is this real?” Lin Qiao couldn’t even believe it, “Can she do that?”
“Yeah,” Duan Juan looked at her and said excitedly, “Or else how did she bring back all those things? The things she brought back are all important.”
Lin Qiao kept reading the letter. At last, she was even gaping with disbelief.
According to the letter, Lin Wenwen went back to seven years ago and spent three months in the peaceful world. She not only brought back great numbers of unexpired supplies, but also brought back five-hundred kilograms of fresh catmint plants and some seeds.
“How did she know about that?” Lin Qiao couldn’t help but ask Duan Juan when she read the part about the catmint.
“Don’t you forget about her new superpower. I guess she had foreseen it,” Duan Juan smiled.
“What on earth did she bring back? Where has she been all these days?” Lin Qiao’s reaction made Wu Chengyue very curious.
“She’s been somewhere that you can never imagine,” Lin Qiao glanced at him and said.
“What is that place? What did she bring back to make you so excited?” Wu Chengyue looked at her and asked with a smile.
After reading the letter, Lin Qiao released a wisp of dark fire and burned it. She looked at Wu Chengyue and said, “She brought back some good stuff. I just wonder if the finished product can be delivered to me within three days.”
Wu Chengyue was utterly confused. He didn’t even know what she was talking about.
What Lin Qiao was thinking at the moment was that even though Lin Wenwen had delivered uninfected fresh catmint to Sea City Base, Sea City Base wouldn’t immediately turn them into weapons. After all, they needed to first run experiments to find out the actual effect of the catmint. Three days was just too short of time.
It was not impossible though.
“Send your men back to your base to tell Xiao Yunlong to speed up the manufacturing. Hopefully, the finished product can be delivered to me before I go underground. I’d like to try it out,” Lin Qiao said to Wu Chengyue. If the new weapon worked well, the mission would be easier.
“Speed up the manufacturing? What?” Wu Chengyue looked at her with confusion.
“Let’s talk somewhere else,” Lin Qiao stood up and walked to Wu Chengyue, then dragged his arm and brought him into the space. Meanwhile, Duan Juan sat down in the room, waiting for them to come out.
Wu Chengyue was dragged into Lin Qiao’s space, landing in the living room inside nher house. Wu Yueling and Teng were playing on the couch. Seeing the two come in, the kids called them happily.
“Daddy! Mama! Do you guys finally have time to come here?” Teng was small, but he was the loudest.
“Daddy…” Wu Yueling called her father with a low voice.
Wu Chengyue felt a better mood at the sight of the two kids. He walked to the couch and scooped Teng up as he sat down beside Wu Yueling. With a smile, he looked at Teng, then at Wu Yueling, “Did you guys miss Daddy already?”
“No. But I’m happy to see you come here,” Teng shook his head, then laughed.
Lin Qiao glanced at the three of them, then walked outside and took a look around. She didn’t see Lu Tianyi in the field before the house, so she went behind the house. As she thought, he was there spending time with those big ducks and geese.
He was holding a large goose with his left hand and a big duck with the other. The two birds were reaching their heads toward each other to launch attacks while he was trying very hard to separate them.
Quack! Quack!
Lu Tianyi was standing there with a sulky face, holding the two birds. He even had some feathers on his face and head.
“Hah… What are you doing here?” Lin Qiao looked at him and laughed.
Lu Tianyi parted his arms as he walked to a cage and threw a bird in, then to the other side to throw the other bird into another cage. Only after that did he clap his hands and remove the feathers off his face.
“These two are all male. They hate each other. I don’t know why they can always unlock the cages and fight each other,” he said with a tired face.
He still had a feather on one of his ears. Looking at him, Lin Qiao couldn’t help but laugh, “So… you often have to stop them from fighting?”
Lu Tianyi raised a hand to take off the last feather on his head, then rolled his eyes and said, “Or? Am I supposed to let them fly to my field and ruin my vegetables while fighting each other?”
Lin Qiao didn’t know what to say, so she turned and went back into the house.
She walked to the couch, where she rubbed the head of her son who was lying in Wu Chengyue’s arms and said to the boy, “You were right. Aunty Wenwen has already come back. She brought back something that might cure Yuan Tianxing.”
If she remembered right, catmint juice was able to remove the destructive energy inside Yuan Tianxing’s body. She didn’t know if it would work well or not yet. But, the new catmint would certainly be rather effective without a doubt.
“Eh? Really? Where did she go?” Teng looked at her with surprise. The boy’s big eyes glowed with curiosity.
Wu Chengyue was also looking at her curiously. The look on the faces of the father and son was exactly the same. The man and the boy both fixed their eyes, which looked similar to her.
At that very moment, Lin Qiao felt as if a feather had brushed across her heart, caused a subtle but magical feeling.
She felt slightly itchy, warm, and sweet.
