Chapter 28: Asking My Brother to Give You His Life (Page 1/2)

After taking leave, Huo Qingci went to the newspaper office without stopping. It was already half past twelve when he came back. When he returned to the dormitory, he closed the door and quickly entered the space.

"Manman, it's time to eat."

Lin Man had a great time this morning. God was so unfair. She had wood-related abilities, but he didn't give her a space to plant crops.

Huo Qingci was like a chosen son of God. Not only was he born into a good family, had a good appearance, and was endowed with healing abilities, but he was also given a space for planting.

This guy didn't plant a single grain of food, but instead planted a large field of herbs and some flowers and plants. How could Lin Man tolerate this?

She used lightning in her left hand to chop all the excess grass in the wasteland, and then burned it into ashes to use as fertilizer.

Then he took out a tiller from his own space and started digging the land. He dug ten acres at a time and planted one acre of strawberries, three acres of watermelon, cantaloupe and Hami melon, two acres of grapes, and half an acre of corn, sweet potato and peanuts.

Various vegetables were planted on one acre of land, and the rest was planted with wheat.

Looking at the vast expanse of green space, Huo Qingci looked at Lin Man in shock, "Manman, did you plant all these fields? How did you plant them?"

"Grown with supernatural powers."

"Can your supernatural power also turn the soil? And where did these seeds come from? Oh, I see, those were taken from your space."

"It's true that superpowers can't turn the soil, but I have a soil-turning machine. My superpowers are exhausted, so I need to rest for a while this afternoon."

Huo Qingci laughed and said, "You've worked hard. Let's eat quickly. I've prepared something delicious for you."

Lin Man quickly washed her hands and opened the lunch box. "Hey, this pig's trotter tastes a little familiar!"

"Well, I took a taxi from the restaurant where we had our blind date. I went to the newspaper office at 11 o'clock to find an old classmate and help you publish the announcement of breaking off the engagement. When the newspaper comes out tomorrow, I'll buy two copies to keep."

"Ah, Qingci, you are so nice!"

"Lin Guosheng came to my office around 10 o'clock and asked me to borrow money to pay for his hospital bills. I didn't give him any. In the end, I got him so angry that he left."

Lin Man became furious when she thought of Lin Guosheng. He knew that she was not a child of the Lin family but he didn't send her back. Since he decided to raise her, why didn't he treat her well? Instead, he humiliated her and treated her like a maid.

"You should kick him out of the office before he keeps haunting you like a scoundrel."

"Don't worry, he doesn't have the guts. If I put my hands on him, my competitors will definitely try to step on me. I can't let anything happen to me. I have to stay by your side and protect you."

He had long since become indifferent to personal life and death, but the thought that if something happened to him, Manman would be left alone made him feel particularly uncomfortable.

After dinner, Huo Qingci washed the lunch box and put it on the table. Lin Man said she wanted to take him for a walk in the fields.

She did use her supernatural powers to promote the growth of plants, but unfortunately the land was too large and her supernatural powers were limited.

She only slightly accelerated the growth of vegetables and grains. She ripened all the strawberries in an acre, and only ripened ten watermelon, cantaloupe and Hami melon plants, and let the others grow slowly.

There was no way. She now had a third-level wood ability and could only do this at a time.

"Qingci, let's go pick strawberries. I'll pick a few baskets of strawberries this afternoon to make jam and dry."

"Manman, you're amazing! You've actually ripened all the freshly planted strawberries. My classmate has a few of these strawberries planted in his yard. They're like treasures, and no one is allowed to touch them."

Lin Man smiled slyly, "I'm here, just tell me what fruit you want to eat."

Huo Qingci smiled and said, "Can you also grow lychees and hairy cherries?"

It turns out that this guy likes to eat lychees. If he likes fruits so much, why doesn’t he grow any fruits in his space?

"Qingci, you have such a big space, why do you only grow medicinal herbs and flowers?"

"Because the old immortal in the dream asked me to grow medicine and save people, and my grandfather wanted me to be a soldier, so I became a military doctor."

"Oh, so that's how it is. The old immortal in your dream didn't say that you couldn't grow crops, vegetables, or fruits in your space. Why didn't you grow any of those?"

Huo Qingci felt a little embarrassed. "Actually, I'm not very good at farming, and the land in the space is not a paddy field. I'm worried that I won't be able to grow food."

Lin Man covered her mouth and laughed out loud, "Then how do you grow those herbs? The land in the space should be able to control its own moisture, and even dry land can be used to grow rice and wheat."

"It seems that my knowledge is shallow. I didn't dare to plant anything else because I was afraid that the old immortal would take away the blessed land and cave. This space was originally used to grow herbs and flowers."

"So that's how it is. But you see, I'm planting other things in your space now, and that old immortal hasn't taken your space away.

We can plant whatever we want in the future, including medicinal herbs. If we don't, we'd be doing the old immortal a disservice, wouldn't we?"

Huo Qingci nodded, "Well, the water in the medicinal spring pool can be used to irrigate those herbs. They will grow very fast and have very good medicinal effects.

The repair ointment I applied to your private parts last time was made from Chinese herbs boiled with the medicinal spring water from the space."

When talking about the ointment, Lin Man felt a little shy, but she had to admit that the ointment was really easy to use. Not only was it gentle and non-irritating, but she didn't feel any strange sensation down there the next day after using it.

"Can I go soak in the medicinal spring pool and get rid of the electric shock?"

Huo Qingci suddenly remembered, "Didn't you let me drink the water from the medicinal spring last time?

I've actually soaked in this medicinal spring pool before. When I'm tired, soaking in it is refreshing and also strengthens my body."

Lin Man touched her nose a little embarrassedly. She and he didn't explain it clearly last night. How did she know that Huo Qingci wanted her to drag him into the pool to take a bath?

"Excuse me for making you drink the bath water?"

"It's okay. When the pool is full, the water will overflow and flow along the pebbles into the stream. I haven't bathed in the medicinal spring for half a year. I'll wait until winter to bathe with you."

"I'll come and soak in the medicinal springs while you go to work."

Lin Man picked a giant strawberry and handed it to Huo Qingci, "Try the strawberries I grew. Are they delicious?"

Huo Qingci ate the strawberries without even washing them. He looked at Lin Man with a smile and said, "They are very sweet and delicious."

Seeing that Huo Qingci liked eating strawberries very much, Lin Man guessed that he liked sweets.

Lin Man hooked her finger at Huo Qingci and said teasingly, "Huo Qingci, call me little sister, and tomorrow I'll plant two lychee trees and two cherry trees for you. I won't plant the hairy cherries because they're too small. Tell me what other fruits you want to eat, and I'll plant them for you."

Huo Qingci smiled and shook his head, "You are so naughty. Little sister, if you call me brother, I will give you all the antiques in my collection."

Wow, this guy also collects antiques. No wonder he doesn’t care much about money. He has such a good space, but he is not in a hurry to use it all.

"I also have antiques. If I call you brother, can you give me your life?"

"Okay, call me sweetheart, and I'll give you my life!"

“My dear brother…!”
