Upon arriving at the laboratory, Mu Qingyun made no attempt to conceal her gaze, looking around the room.

It was pretty much as she had imagined; a fairly large laboratory room with a small bed in the middle and all sorts of instruments on the innermost wall.

One wall next to it is covered with books and preserved specimens, while another wall displays different colored medicines and similar items, along with some seeds.

The doctor carefully took one seed from the pile, took out a bowl, and poured a lot of blue liquid into it.

"What is this?" Looking at the blue liquid, Mu Qingyun frowned, her eyes full of doubt.

“Nutrient solution can replace soil,” the doctor replied, placing the seed into the pot. “I put in an orchid seed; you can try it.”

orchid?

This is not easy.

She raised her left hand, and a green light flashed. The orchid seed began to grow in the nutrient solution, and before long, it had grown into an orchid in its prime.

The green light receded, and her face turned deathly pale.

Yesterday, she exhausted her energy by rapidly promoting the growth of the peach tree, and after a whole day of rest today, she has only recovered a little.

As her right hand was held, she felt a warm current flow from it, spreading throughout her body and relieving her fatigue and soreness.

This is... the healing effect of light.

She grasped Su Qiluo's hand in return, leaned her head on his shoulder, and tried to relieve the depletion of energy in her body.

"How are you feeling now?" The doctor looked at the orchid in full bloom with surprise, then turned his head and saw that she was not doing well, so he quickly asked.

"Last night I spurred the growth of several large peach trees, but the energy was depleted. It's been recovering all day, but hasn't fully recovered yet,"

Mu Qingyun lifted her and Su Qiluo's hands that were clasped together, "The light ability can help me recover, and it should also be able to help me promote the growth of plants."

"Okay, you guys rest today. Tomorrow I'll find someone with earth-based abilities and see if I can purify a piece of soil."

Upon hearing this, the doctor immediately nodded and told her to go back and rest.

If he previously regarded Mu Qingyun as a vixen vying for his own son, from now on, he would worship her like a goddess.

Plant-based superhumans are practically their gods!

"Let's go." Su Qiluo reached out and grabbed her waist, pulling her forcefully into his arms.

Nestled in Su Qiluo's arms, she closed her eyes and nodded, like an exhausted kitten, curled up in his embrace.

Su Qiluo looked down at her, his brows filled with worry and heartache. His left hand, which was holding her, shimmered with golden light, and his light-based powers entered her body.

Allowing your body to deplete its energy is a very dangerous thing.

Especially if she's out with someone all day, it means that if something unexpected happens during that day, she won't have the ability to protect herself.

All her sense of security rested on him.

He carried her back to the villa, took her to the room, gently placed her on the bed, and then picked up the blanket and covered her with it.

He casually picked up a piece of irregularly shaped glass from the bedside table, placed it on her lips, and gave her a light kiss through the glass.

He put away the glass and gently rubbed his lips against hers.

If only there were a way to remove the hellfire from his body.

Using his water-based powers, he took some makeup remover and face wash, removed her makeup, and took off her wig as well.

As for clothes...

He glanced down at Mu Qingyun's white dress. Usually, no other clothes were worn under this kind of dress; once it was taken off, she would be completely naked.

He took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and finally just tucked the blanket around Mu Qingyun, then sat down on the edge of the bed, his left hand facing her, using his light power to soothe her fatigue.

One night passed.

When Mu Qingyun woke up, she felt refreshed. Not only had all the energy she had overdrawn yesterday been restored, but she also felt invigorated and didn't feel out of breath even if she went out for a three-lap run.

She opened her eyes to find the rising sun shining through the curtains, its soft light warming her and completely dispelling the chill of autumn.

She got out of bed without taking off her clothes, but her makeup and wig had been cleaned off.

She took off her long dress, changed into a comfortable, loose-fitting tracksuit, and went downstairs.

"woke up?"

Su Qiluo must have heard her moving around, because he immediately came out of the kitchen.

He was holding a spatula and wearing an apron, standing at the bottom of the stairs, looking up at her.

"Why did you get up so late today? It's already 11:30. We won't make it for breakfast, so we'll have to eat lunch now."

"..."

11:30?

She slept until 11:30?

Upon hearing this time, Mu Qingyun instantly lost her composure. From the past until now, when had she ever gotten up at 11:30?

After a moment of silence, she sighed helplessly, "It's still too comfortable."

In the past, when she was scheming and calculating, she would never have dared to sleep so late. Now, probably because Su Qiluo is by her side, she has placed all her sense of security on him, so she has relaxed and slept so late.

“It’s good to be able to sleep more. I don’t mean to blame you. It’s a good thing to be able to sleep a little longer. Some people want to sleep but can’t.” Su Qilu smiled at her, then waved the spatula back to the kitchen to continue cooking the meal that he hadn’t finished earlier.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun forced a smile.

This is not a good thing.

Although she loves Su Qiluo, this gradual dependence is really a bit scary.

Despite being exhausted yesterday, she remained calm because of Su Qiluo, and she didn't wake up until 11:30 today, all of which were the result of her losing her guard.

no.

She closed her eyes briefly, a darkening look in them. She knew she couldn't have such thoughts again. A little dependence was a good thing, but excessive dependence would be a disaster.

...

After dinner, the two went to the laboratory, where the doctor was already waiting for them. Beside him was a lieutenant with a lieutenant's badge on his arm. According to what the doctor said yesterday, this person should be an earth-type ability user.

"Wow, is this Brother Mu a plant-based ability user?" The earth-based ability lieutenant looked very rugged, with a burly appearance and a height of nearly two meters.

The people here are all very tall.

Mu Qingyun sized up the earth-elemental lieutenant, silently thinking to herself, Su Qiluo, Xiong Ruoyou, Fan Xuanye, Kazel, including Xiong Ruoyou's family members, are all exceptionally tall.

The girls back then were petite and cute, but the girls she met after entering the military academy for trials were all tall girls, about 1.68 meters.

Can people who grow up eating protein powder grow this tall?

"Why aren't you replying to me yet?" After waiting for a reply for a long time without getting one, the earth-powered lieutenant scratched his head helplessly, his face full of confusion.
