Chapter 521 The Master is Xiaoman's

It's the owner, no one can take it away!

Having this spiritual pet to protect its master is enough, don’t even think about other plants!

Leng Ning was stunned.

Steal the owner?

"It didn't want to kill me." Leng Ning said directly, with some guesses in his mind. He used a declarative tone.

Recalling what had just happened, Acacia attacked her SUV with its vines, and then extended its vines into the vehicle to catch her.

Her first thought was that Acacia wanted to capture her and use her as food like the zombies and animals, but now it seems that may not be the case.

"But he wants to recognize me as his master." Seeing that Xiaoman didn't say anything, Leng Ning continued in a declarative tone.

"The master - belongs to - Xiaoman!" Xiaoman said angrily.

Then it flew away from Leng Ning's arm with a "whoosh" sound, and then stood upright in the air in front of Leng Ning, looking directly at Leng Ning.

"So, it really wants to recognize me as its master." Leng Ning said in a deep voice.

He didn't take Xiaoman's dissatisfaction and threats seriously at all.

"Master..." Xiao Man's voice softened again, and she quickly climbed onto Leng Ning's arm again, "It's enough to have Xiao Man accompany you..."

"Master doesn't want that stinky tree!" Xiao Man was a little panicked and spoke fluently.

"Wuwu... Master, please don't leave Xiaoman. Wuwu..." Seeing that there was no fluctuation on Leng Ning's face, Xiaoman became even more panicked and she suddenly started crying.

"Wuwu... Xiaoman, don't leave your master... Wuwu..." The childish voice became more and more sad as it cried, causing Leng Ning, who was originally a little irritated, to feel heartbroken.

Who would have thought that the Heaven-Swallowing Vine that everyone fears actually has the mentality of a little kid of a few years old.

Leng Ning sighed, and finally reached out his hand and touched the vine that was trembling due to Xiao Man's crying.

Xiao Man's body paused immediately, and then she sobbed and rubbed into Leng Ning's palm.

The master and the servant stayed like this quietly for a while.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Leng Ning asked only after Xiaoman stopped crying.

Xiaoman's body trembled, and she raised the flower disc again in alertness.

"I need stronger power to protect the people I want to protect." Leng Ning looked at Xiao Man and said with a strong determination in his eyes.

"Master, if you give Xiaoman delicious food, Xiaoman can help you become stronger together with me." Xiaoman said immediately.

Crystal cores are delicious. Not only are they delicious, but they can also make it stronger and more powerful. And it is born from the owner. The stronger it becomes, the stronger the owner will also be.

Unfortunately, the owner has been unwilling to give it too much delicious food, so its strength has grown very slowly.

Leng Ning looked at Xiao Man with a cold gaze.

The small flower disk immediately drooped down as if to dodge.

"The violent aura in you is too strong. I can still suppress you with my current ability. If I really let you absorb energy savagely to grow, I won't be able to suppress you then. The violent aura will probably completely devour you, and I will probably become your first sacrifice." Leng Ning looked at Xiao Man and said.

Xiaoman suddenly lifted the flower disc again.

"Suppressing you is not just to control you. It is also for our mutual safety." Leng Ning sighed.

She was reborn because of Xiaoman, and has come all the way to where she is today thanks to Xiaoman.

Xiaoman is her comrade-in-arms, benefactor, and even more like a relative.

Although Xiao Man is a plant, she can feel that it already has emotions that only humans have. Saying this is also her way of explaining to it.

"No, no - Xiaoman will not hurt the master! Whoever hurts the master, Xiaoman will kill him!" Xiaoman said excitedly.

Leng Ning smiled and stroked Xiao Man's flower disc again.

"Of course I believe you won't hurt me. But when the day comes when I can't suppress your energy, you will no longer be yourself. Your bloodthirsty instinct will make you kill all living things around you."

Xiaoman's body trembled.

"Xiaoman, don't become stronger. Xiaoman, don't become a madman! Xiaoman wants to stay with the master forever!" Then he said incoherently.

Will it kill its master? No, if that's the case, it would rather not become stronger! It wants to be with its master forever!

Leng Ning raised the corner of his mouth, and a feeling of love and pity surged in his heart.

Looking at Xiaoman, the sternness and criticism in his eyes finally disappeared.

"If I can really use that locust tree, it will be a great benefit to me and the Thunder Base." After a while, Leng Ning continued.

Xiaoman was silent.

"Master, if you accept that stinky tree, will you no longer love Xiao Man?" She then said sadly.

Leng Ning was stunned.

"No. Xiaoman is special in my heart, she is a family member." Then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Family?" Xiaoman asked in a daze.

"The same as the master's mother and elder brother?"

What the master cares about most are those two humans.

It could feel that her feelings towards them were different from those towards all other humans. In fact, her feelings towards them were even more than her feelings towards any other creature, including it.

Leng Ning was stunned.

Seeing Xiaoman's flower disk staring at him, after a while, he finally reached out and touched Xiaoman's flower disk again.

"Yeah, the same." Then he smiled gently.

If Xiaoman hadn't asked her, she wouldn't have realized that her feelings for Xiaoman had actually long surpassed that of master and servant.

Otherwise, when Xiao Man almost killed Yuan Xing, she would not have simply reprimanded it. And later in the military, when it almost killed Blue Snake again, she did not punish Xiao Man in any substantial way.

Xiaoman was born because of her. Rather than considering her as its master, it would be more accurate to say that it considers her as its mother.

It acts cute and coquettishly to itself, seeking credit and reward, and has the nature of a child at all.

The little twigs immediately trembled with joy.

"Then can Xiaoman call the master mom from now on?" Then a childish voice asked excitedly.

The owner is its mother and the person closest to it.

Leng Ning was stunned.

Mom? She... is still an unmarried girl.

"Master, is this okay?" After not hearing Leng Ning's reply for a long time, Xiao Man rubbed Leng Ning's palm coquettishly.

Leng Ning only felt an itch in the palm of his hand.

"Okay." He finally replied with a smile.

This little thing, even though its mind is that of a baby, is actually quite good at observing people's expressions.

Now that she dared to make such a request, she was sure that she truly loved it.

"Yeah, that's great! Xiaoman has a mother! Xiaoman loves her mother the most!" Xiaoman shouted excitedly and flew out of Leng Ning's arms.

Then he suddenly jumped to Leng Ning's cheek, and when Leng Ning was not paying attention, he kissed her cheek with his flower disc.

"Hey——" Leng Ning felt a little itchy and reached out to touch the place that Xiao Man had just "kissed" him.

A doting smile appeared on his face.

"Since that stinky tree is useful to mom, let's accept it." After a long while, Xiaoman finally finished circling happily and returned to Leng Ning's wrist.

Leng Ning smiled indifferently.

"But, let me make it clear in advance! Mom is mine, and that stinky tree can only be a pet!" Xiao Man immediately raised the flower disk and said to Leng Ning.
