This little cutie, with big captivating eyes and a clingy nature, was just too adorable for Sun Zhe to resist.
He felt like he’d truly stumbled upon a treasure this time.
After observing for a moment, Little Dragon Girl said, "Based on the age of the Heng Gongyu species, Little Hebao is probably still a pup, equivalent to a three to six-year-old human girl."
"Xiao Zhezi, since you want to adopt her, you have to take responsibility."
Sun Zhe, without a second thought, laughed joyfully, "I promise, I’ll pamper her like she’s my little sweetheart."
Leng Yuening glanced over and couldn’t help but tease, "I think you look more like a bad uncle."
Having encountered countless women, Sun Zhe instantly detected the odd tone in Leng Yuening’s voice, so he put down Little Hebao, rubbing her head, and said, "Good girl, Little Hebao, why don’t you go back to the Ring Space and play with Little Dragon Girl sister?"
But Little Hebao hastily grabbed his hand, her seemingly tender little paws possessing great strength.
With a face full of grievance, she looked at Sun Zhe, appearing on the verge of tears.
Sun Zhe felt a pang in his heart, with eyes full of doting, "Be good, I’ll take you out to play once uncle finishes his work."
"Hmm..."
Only then did Little Hebao let go of his hand.
Sometime later.
After sending Little Hebao back to the Ring Space, Sun Zhe approached Leng Yuening and asked with a smile, "What’s up, is President Leng feeling jealous?"
Leng Yuening turned her gaze elsewhere, replying coldly, "What would I be jealous of?"
Suddenly, Sun Zhe reached out and pulled her into his embrace. "Don’t tell me I can’t read the little thoughts of our President Leng?"
"Oh come on, I told you I’m not jealous."
"Alright, alright, you’re not jealous. Today I’ll just spend a good time with my sister-in-law."
"What are you doing... stop it."
Leng Yuening twisted, seeming to refuse yet welcoming, allowing Sun Zhe’s mischievous hand to slide into her collar with no protest.
Actually, she just wanted Sun Zhe to spend more time with her.
Because after fully absorbing that Jiao Inner Core, her body felt like it was on fire, urgently needing the nourishment of Yang Essence.
Sun Zhe suddenly suggested, "Why not head to the grove?"
Leng Yuening neither agreed nor refused, pointing to the Flying Star Puppet nearby with an odd expression, "No wonder you left me alone for so long, turns out you had this thing."
"Indeed, this thing is pretty and exquisite, feels nice, and no matter what, it won’t beg for mercy, isn’t it better than the real thing?"
Hearing this, Sun Zhe’s face darkened, "You’ve misunderstood me, I’m only interested in the real thing."
Leng Yuening asked, "Then why do you carry it with you?"
Sun Zhe: "If I said this isn’t what you think it is, would you believe me?"
"I don’t believe you. Do you really think I haven’t seen it before?"
Sun Zhe was too lazy to explain further, as it couldn’t be explained clearly. The Flying Star Puppet was indistinguishable from those otaku goods sold on Earth.
He casually summoned the Flying Star Puppet back to its reverse scale, then scooped Leng Yuening in his arms and headed towards the forest.
"Yuening, do you want to try some vines later?"
"What vines?"
Sun Zhe smirked meaningfully, "There are lots of vines in the forest, later I’ll use them to tie your hands up."
Leng Yuening turned pale, "You’re such a pervert! I don’t want that! Or I could tie your hands and feet up with vines instead."
"..."
...
Soon, soft, gentle cries floated from the forest.
About two hours later.
Sun Zhe, feeling refreshed, supported the wobbling, disheveled Leng Yuening back to the edge of the pool.
After satisfying her needs, Leng Yuening clung to Sun Zhe, wrapping her arms around his, refusing to let go.
Sun Zhe stood by the pool, looking at the floating giant lotus flower in midair, and used Divine Sense to ask, "Sister Long, is there any use for this lotus flower? How should we handle it?"
Little Dragon Girl lazily replied in his mind, "It’s not of much use, just give it to Little Hebao to eat, it’s the time she’s growing. However, the lotus seeds can be planted in the Ring Space."
Sun Zhe asked, "Can the land in the Ring Space grow things?"
He remembered trying to plant some Spirit Medicine inside before, but they withered away quickly.
Little Dragon Girl said, "Ordinary things can’t be planted, but good things can."
"Previously, my master told me that the soil in your Ring Space is ’Mother Medicine Rare Earth,’ only herbs of a certain level can thrive in it."
"And ordinary herbs would be overwhelmed by the rich nutrients, so they wither to death."
"I believe this Asking Dao Lotus is high enough level, it should survive. Then we’ll have an endless supply of Asking Dao Lotus."
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe rejoiced, "Why didn’t you say so earlier!"
"I’m telling you now."
Without hesitation, Sun Zhe flew over to gather some lotus seeds.
A moment later.
Sun Zhe gathered eight lotus seeds and returned to the shore to hand them to Leng Yuening.
"Yuening, later when you return to the Ring Space, find a spot to dig a small pond and plant these lotus seeds."
Leng Yuening looked displeased, "Why do I have to do this kind of work?"
"President Leng can’t always sit in the office; sometimes you need to experience some farm life."
Leng Yuening took the lotus seeds, "I’ll plant them."
Sun Zhe advised, "Plant them well, so in the future we can have Asking Dao Lotus in abundance."
"Got it!"
After sending Leng Yuening back to the Ring Space, Sun Zhe brought out Little Hebao and let her devour the giant lotus.
Once Little Hebao heard there was food, she was thrilled and flew over to feast.
After finishing, her little belly was round and full, looking absolutely adorable.
Sun Zhe lifted her up onto his shoulders to sit, then spread his wings behind him.
"Hold on tight, Little Hebao, uncle is taking you flying!"
"..."
They flew for a day and a night.
As they were about to fly out of Myriad Burial Valley, Little Hebao, who had been dozing off on Sun Zhe’s back, suddenly opened her eyes and excitedly tugged on Sun Zhe’s hair.
"What’s wrong, what’s wrong?"
Little Hebao pointed in a direction, her eyes glowing with a golden light, her voice sweet and childlike, "Uncle, there’s treasure there."
Sun Zhe paused in surprise, looked in the direction she pointed, thought for a moment, and decided to take a look.
"What treasure?"
"Little Hebao doesn’t know, but it’s a treasure."
Sometime later.
Sun Zhe landed in a miasma-filled forest, packed with the skeletons of Jiao Beasts, and according to Little Hebao’s directions, dug out a large lingzhi mushroom from within a heap of decaying leaves.
This lingzhi was entirely crystal-clear, seemingly carved from crystal, buried in the foul-smelling leaves yet emitting a strange medicinal fragrance.
"Little Hebao, is this the treasure you mentioned?"
"Yes!"
At this moment, Little Dragon Girl’s surprised voice exploded in Sun Zhe’s mind, "Oh my, oh my! This is a Lingjing Baolu Mushroom, it takes ten thousand years to crystallize, and you found one!"
Sun Zhe was stunned, turning to look at Little Hebao, his eyes filled with undisguised joy.
More astonishing than this lingzhi, which even amazed Little Dragon Girl, was Little Hebao’s treasure-hunting ability.
"Sister Long, Little Hebao is really something."
Little Dragon Girl was silent for a moment, then said, "It’s probably some kind of innate supernatural ability of the Heng Gongyu species, a treasure-seeking skill."
Sun Zhe’s eyes lit up, "Doesn’t that mean, as long as I have Little Hebao with me, it’s like carrying a treasure detector?"
"You could say that."
"Wow, I really hit the jackpot this time! This little sweetheart not only brings emotional value but economic value too!"
