Chapter 33

Ji Yan's phone call left Ji Feng feeling down. He looked at his older brother, who seemed indifferent, and wondered if his brother would follow their father's arrangement and send him to the camp for training.

Of the three siblings, the eldest brother resembled their father the most. In his upbringing, his eldest brother was actually the one who cared for him the most, compared to their father.

He asked somewhat anxiously, "Brother, are you really going to put me in the camp for training?"

Ji Fang looked at his younger brother's excessively thin figure, which he had to maintain to keep his physique: "You know, the Ji family members all wear military uniforms. Look at how you look now, so frail. I would be ashamed to leave you in the camp."

Ji Feng was repeatedly rejected, and he was in a state of shock: "Why can't I do what I like? If you like wearing military uniforms, then wear them. Why should you interfere with what I like to wear and do!"

Ji Fang remained expressionless and coldly said, "This is the price you pay as a member of the Ji family. This world isn't a place where you can do whatever you want."

Ji Feng curled up on the sofa, burying his face in his arms. After a long while, he suddenly looked up at Ji Fang pleadingly: "Brother, give me three more years. If I still can't make a name for myself, I'll listen to your and Dad's arrangements."

Ji Fang looked at his younger brother's pretty, small face, which was full of passion and innocence for his age. Through that face, he seemed to see the shadow of his mother. Among the three siblings, his younger brother resembled their mother the most.

The mother, in order to save her newborn brother, willingly became a hostage and was killed by the rebels.

It could be said that the younger brother's life was saved by their mother.

In today's environment of advanced biological reproductive technology, it is easy to have a child as long as you have money. Their family is not short of money, and they can have many younger brothers if they want to.

Ji Fang couldn't understand why his mother would be willing to give up her life for her younger brother, whom she had only known for a few months, leaving his father, Ji Rong, and him without a mother forever.

The mother's death was indeed not caused by her younger brother, but because she was the father's weakness, and the rebels wanted to use her as a bargaining chip. However, for a period of time, he could only hate his younger brother and subconsciously remained indifferent to him.

However, this hatred faded with the passage of time and his own growth. He came to understand his mother's choice and the cruelty of the situation at the time.

Ji Fang looked at Ji Feng, who resembled his mother so much, with a stubborn gaze, hoping to gain his support. For some reason, a soft feeling suddenly welled up in his heart, and he said, "You are an adult now, you should handle your own affairs."

When Ji Fang finished speaking, Ji Feng's eyes lit up instantly. This was already a very good result. Although his older brother did not support him, as long as he did not object, it was already an agreement.

Ji Feng excitedly picked up Qiao Ye, almost choking him, and exclaimed, "Little Yuan, your master agreed! Isn't your master so good!"

Joe struggled, his forehead covered in black lines. What did this have to do with him? Don't torment him all the time! He was a pet, not a toy to vent his emotions on!

After taking a shower that evening, Ji Fang found the first-aid kit at home and prepared to apply medicine to Qiao Ye. Qiao Ye's arm was still injured when they went fishing at Lingshan Lake last time, and he needed to apply anti-inflammatory medicine every day.

Ji Feng asked, "What happened?"

Qiao pointed out his injuries to Ji Feng, who was momentarily surprised: "Brother, your Yuanren can actually understand human speech?"

Ji Fang gently applied the medicine to Qiao Ye and said, "Ling Mu has always been very smart, maybe even more clever than you."

Ji Fang was probably joking when he said that. Qiao glanced at his master's expression without leaving a trace, but didn't find anything special. Perhaps his performance made Ji Fang accept the fact that he was very smart, so now everything he did was reasonable.

Qiao Ye's obedient way of applying medicine to Ji Fang aroused Ji Feng's curiosity. Ji Feng snatched the cotton swab and wanted to help Qiao Ye apply the medicine, but Qiao Ye immediately pulled her arm back.

He didn't believe in Ji Feng's skills and cast a suspicious look at him.

Ji Feng tried to approach Qiao Ye with a cotton swab in hand, but Qiao Ye dodged him. Ji Feng was very dissatisfied: "Hey, give me some face, why don't you trust me?"

In the end, Ji Fang handled it. Ji Feng squatted down to observe Qiao Ye and felt that his brother's original human was indeed somewhat different from others. He had never seen such an intelligent original human before.

When it was time to sleep, Ji Feng was even more surprised to find that his older brother was actually sleeping with his original self.

Ji Fang said, "When my mental energy was disordered before, Ling Mu had a calming effect on me. Sleeping close to me had an even better effect, so we've been sleeping together ever since."

At this moment, Ji Feng also came over to smell Qiao Ye, but Qiao Ye pushed him away with a slap. Ji Feng felt it for a moment and said, "Ling Mu does smell nice. No wonder you cherish this Primal Human so much. I heard from a friend that it's not easy to find a Primal Human that can effectively soothe the mind."

Who wouldn't want to sleep with a fragrant original human? Ji Feng naturally loved this kind of thing. He said, "Brother, lend me your original human for a few nights. Ling Mu is so cute!"

Ji Feng tried to touch Qiao Ye's head, but Qiao Ye waved his hand back. He was unhappy and hugged Ji Feng tightly, expressing his resistance with his actions.

Ji Fang was held tightly by Qiao Ye and couldn't be pulled away. He said with some amusement, "No, Ling Mu only sleeps with me."

After saying this, Qiao relaxed, which made Ji Fang chuckle to himself. Was his original self being too clingy?

Ji Feng was somewhat disappointed and in the end could only go to the guest room to sleep alone.

The next day, Ji Fang got up, and Qiao Ye also got up with him, yawning. Ji Fang said, "You and Ji Feng will stay at home together today."

Qiao immediately got up, washed up, and then said that she wanted to go out with Ji Fang.

He preferred to sleep at the camp. After all, Joe always felt a little awkward following someone he didn't know well. He was afraid that if he appeared too clever, it would cause unnecessary commotion.

It's more relaxed to be with Ji Fang; he's more at ease.

Ji Feng got bored after staying at home alone for a few days. When Qiao came back in the evening, Ji Feng grabbed her and said, "Why are you always running around with your master? Why don't you stay home and keep me company?"

Joe refused, broke free from his hand, and ran away.

As a result, Ji Feng also went to the camp the next day.

Undoubtedly, Ji Feng, with his striking appearance, attracted a lot of attention as soon as he appeared in the camp, just like when Qiao Ye, the original human, entered the camp.

However, Ji Feng was probably used to being watched and didn't care at all about these probing glances.

Ji Feng had nothing to do at the camp, so he ended up just wandering around the camp with Qiao Ye.

Qiao went to watch the soldiers practice mecha training, and Ji Feng went too; Qiao went to sunbathe, and Ji Feng went too; Qiao went to watch Chang Wei train, and Ji Feng followed along; even when Qiao went to the toilet, Ji Feng followed along.

Qiao, unable to bear it any longer, squinted at Ji Feng, trying to drive him away with her eyes.

Ji Feng was truly amazed by Qiao Ye's rich life in the camp. His eyes sparkled, and he was even more curious than Chang Wei: "Wow, Ling Mu, you can actually go to the toilet by yourself. Have you been trained?"

Joe was speechless. At this moment, he really wanted to reply with a Cohen phrase: "That's right, I always go to the toilet myself."

Qiao Ye ultimately held back. Ji Feng was probably really free. He wasn't interested in his older brother's work at all. Qiao Ye guessed that Ji Feng was afraid that Ji Fang would suddenly grab him to do something and then leave him at the camp for training.

But there's no need to follow him.

Finally, Ji Feng accompanied Qiao Ye to find Chang Wei. Ji Feng originally thought that all the animals in his brother's battle pet group were as smart as Ling Mu, but then he found out that they weren't.

Ling Mu possessed a unique aura that made Ji Feng want to treat it like a friend and talk to it. Even though Ling Mu couldn't speak, Ji Feng felt that it could understand him. That subtle feeling made Ji Feng feel very relaxed and also very novel.

"Hey, Ling Mu, don't you like me?" Ji Feng followed behind Ling Mu, asking casually as they walked. Qiao also picked a branch with leaves on it by the roadside, swinging it around while ignoring him.

Ji Feng continued, "I don't have many friends. Most of my childhood playmates have gone into politics or the military or followed their parents' arrangements. I'm the only one who's unconventional, wanting freedom and pursuing my own dreams."

Ji Feng sighed and said with emotion, "Among the friends I played with back then, it wasn't that no one wanted to rebel, but in the end they all compromised. On this path, I'm the only one fighting."

Qiao also slowed down as she heard Ji Feng's somewhat ethereal voice.

The master's younger brother looks rather pitiful.

To persist in pursuing one's dreams despite numerous setbacks, and to not give up even after failure, requires a strong belief.

Then Ji Feng suddenly tempted, "Do you want to know about your master's dark history?"

Qiao stopped and turned around, looking at Ji Feng with a puzzled expression.

Ji Feng was immediately excited and a little smug: "Hahaha, I caught you, Ling Mu. I knew you could understand what I was saying."

Qiao pretended to be indifferent, turned around and continued walking forward, as if turning around was just a coincidence.

Ji Feng quickly grabbed Qiao Ye, squatted down to meet Qiao Ye's gaze, and said slyly, "I've looked up the information. The highest IQ of the primitive humans can be more than 7 years old. There is a record in history of a soldier who was a primitive human with an IQ that reached an unusually high level. He could even imitate the language of the Cohen people and, after special training, could have simple communication."

Qiao stared at Ji Feng, wondering what he was going to do. Ji Feng then said, "My elder brother's mental strength is top-notch among the current Cohen people. Since you were able to calm his mental strength, you must be extraordinary."

"Or rather, Ling Mu, do you possess some mysterious power that we don't know about?" Ji Feng suddenly stared into Qiao Ye's eyes, scrutinizing the original man before him.

Qiao Ye waited for Ji Feng's analysis. The feeling of being exposed made Qiao Ye feel a mix of excitement and unease, with her heart racing.

Did Ji Feng already see through his inner human soul? Or did he reveal some flaw? In front of Ji Feng, he didn't even reveal that he knew how to use a terminal.

Qiao tried to calm her racing heart and looked at Ji Feng with a calm and innocent gaze.

Ji Feng's expression gradually turned serious. He seemed to have grasped Qiao Ye's secret. He patted Qiao Ye's small shoulder with a slight pressure and promised, "Don't worry, Ling Mu, I won't reveal your secret. I know you are a super divine beast chosen by the gods, bearing the mission of saving the world, and you came to the world of the Cohens. In the darkness of night, you will suddenly transform into the embodiment of justice, mysterious and powerful..."

Qiao Ye: "..."

So he's just a delusional kid from the Land of Light, fantasizing about Ultraman transforming and fighting monsters. If that's the case, why doesn't he just worship Ji Fang? That's true power.

Qiao also reached out and touched Ji Feng's forehead with a regretful expression. Ji Feng looked puzzled and immediately got into character: "Are you going to grant me power?"

Qiao shook his head, pressed his index finger against Ji Feng's forehead, and pushed hard. Ji Feng lost his balance and fell on his butt.

Seeing that Qiao was about to run away, Ji Feng hurriedly chased after him: "Hey, don't run! Do you still want to hear your master's embarrassing history? Wait for me, I don't know the way back..."
