"I was just saying it offhand. Anyway, you need to take good care of yourself. If you can't bring me back, then we'll just lose you. If the project doesn't go well, then we'll just let you go. It's not like I can't afford to support you."

Lin Ling gave a haughty snort. Although Zhou Siyu was indeed not a qualified daughter-in-law in the past, she was his favorite student. How could he watch her suffer? Moreover, Yu Wei cherished him dearly. If something unexpected happened and he regained his memories, he would nag him to death.

"I understand, Uncle. Take care of yourself too." Zhou Siyu smiled, a warm feeling rising in his heart.

If it weren't for his own reasons, he really wouldn't want to leave the lab. After all, Lin Ling was there to protect him, and no one would dare to bully him.

"Okay, okay, come back soon." Lin Ling sighed. "If you hadn't left the lab back then, I guess I could have retired by now."

"Uncle, you're still young. You can work for another fifty years and dedicate another fifty or sixty years to the advancement of human biology."

"Forget it, I don't want to do this stupid experiment even once a day. I'd rather go home, grow flowers and vegetables, and drink tea. That would be so much more comfortable."

Lin Ling seemed to envision a wonderful retirement life: gardening, growing vegetables, and enjoying time with her grandchildren. If only Yu Zhen, that eyesore, weren't home, she could make him work overtime every day, even if he had to use a cane!

"Haha, Uncle, it's getting late, you should get some rest." Zhou Siyu smiled. "If you don't go back soon, Uncle Yu will be secretly scolding me again tonight."

"He wouldn't dare! I'll make him sleep on the floor." Lin Ling snorted. "Alright, alright, you should get some rest."

"OK."

Zhou Siyu ended the chat, leaned against the foot of the bed, and stared helplessly at the ceiling.

Can he really bring Yu Wei back? And bring him back to face the bloodshed and intrigue? It's better to leave him on Planet Twenty-Eight; at least he's happy there.

I wonder how Brother Yunmu is doing. I haven't been able to contact him for a while. I hope he hasn't also had an accident and lost his memory.

Yu Wei, his head throbbing with pain, knelt in the courtyard, his fingers sinking into the soil, panting heavily.

Thin red vines slowly spread from her waist, her eyes gradually lost focus and turned black, while the whites of her eyes turned blood red.

Countless vines pierced the air, wandering in the darkness, searching for prey.

Seeing this from afar, the landlord dropped his luggage, slowly spread his black wings, flew into the air, and waved his hands, sending countless black feathers piercing the night sky and straight into the vines.

"ah……"

Yu Wei shouted and manipulated the vines to attack the person in mid-air. The landlord dodged while swinging his feathers to cut the vines. Bright red liquid flowed from the cuts, which quickly healed and countless vines grew back.

Zhou Siyu walked to the window, intending to open it for some fresh air, but instead witnessed a scene that struck her very soul.

A man with black wings flew through the air, constantly dodging attacks, while a monster covered in tentacles crouched on the ground, relentlessly attacking the man in mid-air.

A demon battling a tentacle monster? That's so exciting!

The two, locked in a stalemate, both looked out the window. Suddenly, a thick vine appeared, shattered the glass, and struck straight at Zhou Siyu upstairs.

Upon seeing this, the man immediately flapped his wings and flew through the window the instant the vines shattered the glass. He picked up Zhou Siyu, dodged the attack, opened the door, and flew to the first floor.

Enraged, the vines attacked again, chasing the two to the first floor.

"This is fucking difficult to deal with."

The man folded his wings, slipped inside, and took a golden longsword from the cabinet.

"Stay here and don't move."

Zhou Siyu nodded and obediently found a corner to stay in.

When gods fight, mortals suffer. He just wanted to see a live version of a demon versus a tentacle monster, and he didn't want to die.

The vines were stunned for a few seconds when they saw the golden sword, then launched another attack, only to be cut down by the sword and fall to the ground.

This time, however, the wounds healed much more slowly. Just as the man was about to launch an attack, green vines suddenly sprouted from the gaps in the red vines, quickly enveloping him completely.

The soft vines seemed light and weak, but in reality, each strike was extremely ferocious. The man could only dodge and fight back at the same time. However, every time he cut off a vine, the wound would heal immediately in less than a second, and more vines would grow back.

"Lianmu grass!"

The vines, carrying a cool fragrance, swarmed towards him. The man dodged, releasing his pheromones at the same time. The burst of pheromones quickly suppressed the vines, and the rich scent of orchids drifted on the wind.

Ignoring the pain, Zhou Siyu rushed out the door and stared incredulously at the man in mid-air.

Uncle Lin once said that his father was also an Omega who carried the scent of orchids, and a high-level Omega at that.

The green vines kept wriggling, and just as they were about to break free of the suppression, another scent of bluebells wafted in, completely suppressing them.

Under this double pressure, the vines continued to shrink.

"roar……"

The roar of a ferocious beast ripped through the night sky, and the green vines vanished instantly, followed by the red vines, which quickly disappeared and burrowed back into Yu Wei's body.

"puff……"

Yu Wei coughed up a mouthful of blood, slowly closed his eyes, and collapsed heavily to the ground.

"Yuwei!"

Zhou Siyu could no longer hold on, her legs gave way, and she fell into a firm embrace.

The man's expression was complicated. He looked at Yu Wei, then at Zhou Siyu, and sighed deeply.

Lin Ling, you really know how to cause me trouble.

Bright lights shone on her face, and Zhou Siyu slowly opened her eyes, surprised to find that her wounds had been re-bandaged. Yu Wei was tied to a chair, with countless strange tubes inserted into her body.

"Awake?" The man turned around, glanced at Zhou Siyu, and asked, "Are you leaving or staying?"
