Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Whenever he saw her, he would feel...
When Ye Ning came out of the shower, she saw Le Song moving a small stool and sitting not far away, looking at the toilet door longingly.
Seeing her come out, Le Song's eyes lit up instantly, and then he gave her a very bright smile.
"Ye Ning!" Le Song walked over happily, his eyes filled with amazement and joy. "This dress suits you very well. It looks great."
The outfit that Ye Ning picked at random was a haze blue protective suit. The overall style was slightly loose, with adjustable cuffs at the neckline and cuffs, making it look full of vitality and vigor.
Ye Ning was also very satisfied with the clothes she was wearing. The length was very suitable for her. It was more convenient and comfortable to wear protective clothing.
She had just finished a shower, and her hair was wet. Seeing her drying her hair, Le Song quickly took the towel from her hand and said, "Let me do it, let me help you dry it."
Ye Ning: "I can wipe it myself."
Her hair is not very long, just reaching below her chin, so it is not difficult to wipe it.
Le Song held the towel and shook his head, looking at her warmly. "I want to do something for you, too."
Everyone has done a lot of things, but he seems to be the most useless.
Every time Le Song looked at her with his eyes sparkling, eager and expectant, Ye Ning would easily imagine him as a big white dog, making it difficult for her to refuse him.
Ye Ning's palms felt slightly itchy.
Siros looked at the two of them and drank his tea gracefully.
The next second, all the water droplets on Ye Ning's head fell off her hair, floated in the air, and finally gathered together to form a small water ball.
Siros: "That's all."
Ye Ning shook her head and found that her hair was completely dry and surprisingly, very fluffy.
She reached out and touched it again. It was not only fluffy but also silky smooth, and felt much better than before.
Is that why his hair is so silky?
Ye Ning's eyes lit up. She originally thought that Xilos could only control the water flow when in water, but she didn't expect that he could do it on land as well.
Ye Ning ran to Xiluo Si and asked, "Xiluo Si, can you control all water elements?"
Originally, she would add the suffix "Your Majesty" when she addressed him. Now that those two words were removed, Silos could clearly feel that their relationship had become closer.
This feeling of closeness made Xilos feel very happy, and he nodded reservedly.
She had heard everyone tell her before that the most important factor in determining the rank of orcs was their ability to resist pollutants. Secondly, it was their strength. The higher the rank of the orc, the more significant improvements they would see in all aspects of their physical condition.
But so far, the only people she has seen who can use their mental power externally are Xilos and Long Qi.
Their ability to resist pollutants is indeed far superior to everyone else.
I just don't know what the causal relationship is.
If their levels are higher and more powerful because they have a strong ability to resist pollutants, then even if others cannot reach their level in the end, they still have a lot of room for improvement.
Last time they fought against the contaminated insect swarm, many soldiers were injured. But today, thanks to Long Qi and Xiluos, the situation was resolved quickly.
If the strength of other orcs can be significantly improved, it will definitely be much easier to fight against these pollutants.
This was the first time she took the initiative to get so close to him. Silos turned his palm over and handed something to her.
Ye Ning looked down and saw a shell hairpin that was much larger than the strawberry hairpin. It was dotted with pearls and looked very beautiful.
Gu Yu bought the strawberry hairpin based on the cub's body shape, so it's small and can't actually hold a lot of hair. But this shell hairpin is adult-sized.
Ye Ning happily took it and said, "Thank you."
Siros suddenly retracted his hand and asked, "Can I help you put it on?"
Ye Ning looked at him and said, "No need."
Siros handed the hairpin over again with some regret.
Ye Ning simply put the two hairpins on her head together. She didn’t really care whether it looked good or not, as long as it was convenient.
Silos was very satisfied. "It suits you very well. It looks very good."
She really fits in with the ocean.
Ye Ning checked the time. It was already afternoon. She asked Gu Yu, "Do Feng Qi and the others know that I have been found safely by you?"
Gu Yu: "I know. I sent the message back immediately."
Ye Ning nodded and asked, "Then will we still have time to get back to Xisha District today?"
Le Song quickly said, "It's still in time. After they finish the operation, we'll go back. It's safer to go back."
That's right. Ye Ning hesitated for a moment, but decided to wait until they returned and then tell them in person that she had become an adult again.
Long Qi, who had been standing by the window, suddenly said, "There are more people."
He had been standing in front of the window and suddenly spoke, and several people looked over.
Thinking about the scene she had just seen in the live broadcast, Ye Ning simply walked to his side and looked out the window with him.
Le Song and Gu Yu also came over.
Le Song was shocked. "Why are there so many people here?"
Originally, there were only a few layers of siege outside, but now, it was as if everyone in the East Star District had come here, and it was crowded with people. They looked out from the upper floors and could not even see the end.
If anything unexpected happens, I can't even run.
Ye Ning immediately looked at the message on the bracelet.
Maybe because everyone knew she was in the hospital, but they all thought she hadn't been found yet, so many people were urging people to try their luck nearby, saying they might just bump into her.
Ye Ning looked at Gu Yu: "With so many people outside, it's easy for something to happen. They all want to find me. Can you please issue a notice now saying that I have found them and ask the Dongxing District to evacuate the crowd first?"
Gu Yu also saw the online discussions, and the trend was becoming increasingly strange.
He nodded quickly, then turned and went out to contact the officers in the East Star District.
The operation will take some time to complete.
Long Qi happened to be right next to her. Ye Ning looked at his expression again and asked, "Do you want to go and rest for a while?"
Ye Ning always felt that he hadn't had a good rest for a long time. And after he put her on the bed, he stood in the corner, wondering what he was thinking.
The tide of pollutants has not completely subsided yet. After returning to the Xisha area at night, he should return to the battlefield.
Instead of being a statue here, you might as well lie down and have a good sleep.
Ye Ning: "You can go to the next room. We'll call you when we're leaving."
Long Qi said stiffly: "No need."
Le Song also chimed in: "Of course you do. You've been running around all day. You'll have more energy if you take a break."
Ye Ning looked at him and said, "I'll give you the bed, go and have a rest."
Ye Ning spoke very seriously this time.
Long Qi lowered his eyes and looked at her, his long eyelashes lightly covering his eyelids, and his burning red eyes were wondering what he was thinking.
After a while, he finally moved his feet.
With his long legs, he walked to the bed in a few steps, and then... lay down straight on it.
Le Song looked at Ye Ning in shock, then at Long Qi, his gaze moving back and forth between them.
Even though he didn't say anything, Ye Ning could guess what he was thinking.
He was wondering why Long Qi would actually listen to her.
She was also thinking about this question.
Ye Ning thought about it and threw another large amount of supernatural power to Long Qi.
Gu Yu acted quickly, quickly posting the news that she had been found online. Not only did he explain the entire incident in detail, he also specifically thanked the East Star District Military Headquarters.
However, they specifically emphasized that she was seriously injured and abused by the other party.
She was the only pure human rescued from the rebels. In addition, Xilos and Dilong both came to the East Star District in person to find her. The attention of the federal people to Ye Ning directly surpassed all other pure humans, and even broke the historical record of discussion heat.
The crowd outside the door finally began to disperse slowly.
Ye Ning finally felt relieved. There were too many people, and if something unexpected happened or caused a big chaos, it would be very troublesome.
At the same time, the orcs who were still on the aircraft also saw the news.
"Damn, I was wondering how Lord Ye Ning could find a little cub. It turns out they hid it."
"I even specifically asked if Lord Ye Ning was in the secret room. He told me over and over again that it was absolutely impossible and no one could enter. I'm going to settle the score with them later!"
"We spent so much effort to take them away, and they were just robbing us. It only took a few minutes for them to be discovered by the people in the Xisha area. What a bunch of idiots."
"They actually abused Lord Ye Ning. Is he missing his brain stem? And they've been discovered by the Federation. These idiots are definitely doomed."
"Haha, we'll have to rescue them later, what a bunch of rubbish."
…
Ye Ning also saw the news on the Internet and found out that after Xilos knew about her disappearance, he brought a large number of sea orcs ashore to look for her.
Ye Ning was still a little grateful to him.
Since she had some free time, she simply used the intelligent planning system to design a 2,000-square-meter marine ecological restoration plan.
Ye Ning did not choose a location randomly. She chose a sea area closest to the Xisha District. This way, it would be more convenient for her to go over and check the situation later, and if there were any problems, they could be resolved in a timely manner.
There is still a big difference between marine ecological restoration and terrestrial ecological restoration.
When growing plants in the ocean, although there is little need to consider the impact of climate, water quality, bottom soil, biodiversity, as well as natural factors such as tides and ocean currents must be considered.
Water quality is the most critical factor affecting the healthy growth of marine plants. Without good water quality, plants will certainly not thrive. Substratum, consisting of materials like sand and rocks, forms the foundation for marine plants to grow. Most marine plants require a substrate to grow stably.
Ocean currents and tides are the two most important factors affecting the marine ecosystem. Because seawater flows, the nutrients in it also flow, and marine life migrates with the currents.
If the current in the planting area is too strong, newly planted plants that have not yet taken root may be washed away by the strong current. However, if the current is too weak, the plants may not get enough nutrients, and salt may accumulate, resulting in high salinity in the water.
In addition, the direction of ocean currents will also affect the future spread of plant seeds. If the plant seeds cannot be allowed to disperse and reproduce naturally in the future, it is equivalent to continuing to carry out one-time planting.
The rise and fall of tides also directly drives the movement of sediment. For example, as soon as a plant emerges, its leaves may be covered by sediment brought in by the tide, preventing them from reaching sunlight and carrying out photosynthesis and respiration.
These are just the things that need to be paid attention to and considered in the initial evaluation. When formal planting is carried out later, there will be more things to consider.
Ecological restoration is all about balance. The balance between animals and plants, and between animals, plants, and the environment. Only when all species within an environment are in balance can the entire ecosystem be healthy, stable, and sustainable.
Ye Ning carefully looked at the newly created marine ecological planning design, studying as she went along.
Fortunately, she had the help of the system, otherwise she would not know how many brain cells it would take to make such a perfect plan.
However, helping the Sea Dust Planet recover its ecology wasn't just her responsibility; there were definitely many powerful people in the ocean. Furthermore, she had now recovered into an adult, and could now do many things she hadn't been able to do before.
When she gets back, she can slowly unfold it.
Ye Ning was now lying on the armrest of the sofa, with her eyes closed, pretending to sleep. The sofa was large and soft, and she felt that leaning on it was more comfortable than sleeping in bed.
Ye Ning watched very seriously, paying almost no attention to the environment outside.
Xilos sat at the other end of the sofa. Although the protective suit had a constant temperature function, he still took out an extremely exquisite blanket and gently covered Ye Ning with it.
Her breathing was long and even, and everyone thought she was asleep.
Le Song simply moved a small stool and sat next to her, supporting his chin with his hands and looking at her happily.
When Ye Ning was a little cub, Le Song loved looking at her like this. Now that she has grown up, Le Song thinks she is even prettier and cuter.
As long as he sees her, he will feel very happy!
Moreover, Le Song secretly took a breath. Perhaps because Ye Ning had grown up, the plant scent on her body became fresher and richer.
It's like a small seedling that suddenly turns into a big tree that people look up to.
He had secretly looked at the bracelet today, and the range of pollution concentration levels that Ye Ning could reduce seemed to have become larger.
But she is still the same Ye Ning. Apart from growing up, there is no change. Even her usual sleeping position is the same as before.
He had never imagined what Ye Ning would look like when she grew up, but he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to see it with his own eyes now.
Thinking about it again, Le Song found it even more amazing that Ye Ning was the same age as him.
Fortunately, they found Ye Ning. Fortunately, Ye Ning was not injured.
Ye Ning was originally reading the plan. Perhaps because there were too many words, she actually fell asleep after reading the last part.
When Ye Ning woke up again, she found that they were no longer in the ward. She was leaning on someone's chest and being held by the other person while walking.
Siros lowered his head slightly, "Awake?"
Ye Ning didn't need to look up to know that the person hugging her was Xilos.
He was tall, one arm around her back and the other behind her knees, his steps so steady she barely felt they were moving.
His body temperature was a little low, but Ye Ning, who had just woken up, felt warm.
It was always easy for her to get lost in the afternoon nap. Ye Ning took a few more seconds to regain her composure.
She looked down and realized that she was covered with a beautiful blanket.
Ye Ning patted Xiluo Si gently and said, "Xiluo Si, I want to go by myself."
Siros stopped immediately and put her down.
Ye Ning stretched and realized that they were entering the aircraft.
Mu Yan handed over a water bottle and nutrient solution, "You haven't eaten anything today. It's been a whole day, so you need to replenish some energy first."
Ye Ning was indeed thirsty. She took several sips from the water bottle and then drank a bottle of nutrient solution. Finally, she woke up completely and felt like she was alive again.
Ye Ning looked at them: "Is the operation finished?"
Mu Yan nodded. "The operation was successful. The others were all wolf orcs. Fortunately, none of them were as seriously injured as him. Their wounds have been treated and they have been taken away by us."
As he was taking him away, he carefully observed the demeanor of the East Star District officer.
Some people breathed a sigh of relief, some had strange expressions on their faces and looked very conflicted, and some had blank expressions and it was impossible to tell what they were feeling.
However, the infiltration of the rebels is already very terrifying. It is possible that there may be rebel accomplices not only in the Dongxing District, but also in the high-ranking military officials in the Xisha District.
He still hasn't figured out what benefits the rebels promised that would make those powerful officials willing to give up their legitimate interests and support them.
But that benefit must be very tempting and greater than the current benefit. Otherwise, it is not worth taking the risk.
Ye Ning was finally relieved when she heard the news.
But after getting on the aircraft, Ye Ning looked at Xiluos beside her and asked, "Don't you need to go back to the ocean first?"
Her words seemed to be trying to drive him away. Siros looked at her sideways and asked, "Do you want me to leave now?"
Ye Ning didn't mean that. "Because you seem very busy. If you are very busy, you can go back first."
It's not about driving him away.
Siros re-sat down and leaned back elegantly in his seat, "I'm free now."
He had already dealt with most of the rebels in the ocean that he had investigated. He had directly used the death penalty, and for the rest, even if they had some thoughts, he would not make them too public in the near future.
Moreover, Xisha District and Gaojiang District lost her this time, so there must be an explanation.
Ye Ning looked around and suddenly realized, "This aircraft is so luxurious."
The decoration inside is both luxurious and heavy-duty, with ornaments such as pearl shells inlaid everywhere. Even the seats are made of genuine leather sofas, which are very soft to sit on.
This is an aircraft full of the smell of ocean and money.
Xiluosi looked at Ye Ning and said, "If you like it, it's yours from now on."
Ye Ning was stunned for two seconds before she realized that he had just given her a flying vehicle with just one sentence.
Ye Ning quickly shook her head, "No, no, no."
A flying machine needs to be maintained, and it needs to be flown from time to time to keep its function from degrading. She doesn't need to travel much, so it's a waste to keep a flying machine.
Siros didn't force it, "I spend most of my time in the ocean, but no matter where I am, you can use my things as you like."
"The new plants you brought to the ocean have saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of sea orcs. So no matter how much more we give you, it's all due."
As Siros looked at her, he discovered that Ye Ning herself didn't have strong material desires, nor did she have much desire for power. It seemed that for her, planting was the most important thing. She was also very sentimental and kind to everyone around her.
She was originally just a little cub, so naturally she didn't need to worry about complicated things. It was good enough for her to be able to concentrate on planting.
But now, her disappearance had sent shockwaves through the entire federation. The rewards offered by the two districts, coupled with his and Emperor Long's personal involvement, were all a way of demonstrating her importance.
So even if she is still a little cub to the outside world, countless legions, groups, and families will soon come to her.
Xisha District and Gaojiang District have indeed paid a lot for her planting, but with Ye Ning's talent, there are many people who are willing to pay this or even more for her.
Even if they found her in the restricted area first, rescued her, and took good care of her, it would not be a reason for them to hold her hostage.
Siros explained the key points and pros and cons to Ye Ning directly. These were things that she needed to weigh rationally.
Le Song, Gu Yu and Long Qi were all there, but they just listened quietly without any rebuttal or explanation.
Ye Ning's willingness to stay in the Xisha District and even to go back with them now is already the greatest gift to the Xisha District. They couldn't even protect the people, so they have no face to make any more demands.
Le Song secretly thought that Xilos was so powerful and so kind, and he could immediately create anything Ye Ning wanted. Would Ye Ning go to the ocean with him?
In fact, if Ye Ning wanted to go to the ocean with Xiluosi, he could understand. After all, Xiluosi could give her a lot of good things.
But Ye Ning had never thought about going to the ocean with Xilos, and asked them when they would go back.
Xilos spoke seriously and Ye Ning also listened seriously.
Finally, Xiluos said gently, "I will personally discuss this matter with Xisha District and Gaojiang District. You can wait until we come up with a new plan before making a decision."
If Ye Ning is satisfied, they can continue with the new plan. If Ye Ning is not satisfied, they can continue to discuss and adjust. After all, they cannot let Xisha District and Gaojiang District take full control of all her affairs as they are now.
Feelings are feelings, interests are interests. Her deep feelings with Hou Sen and Feng Qi cannot be a reason for her to compromise with the two districts on the issue of interests.
This topic was a bit complicated, and not wanting to affect Ye Ning's mood too much, Xilos quickly skipped it.
Three hours later, the aircraft finally arrived at the Xisha District Military Headquarters.
After Feng Qi learned that Ye Ning had been successfully found and would be back in the evening, he waited there early.
As soon as the door of the aircraft opened, Feng Qi rushed over.
"Sister! Sister!"
Ye Ning heard Feng Qi's voice and ran out immediately.
But Feng Qi just brushed past her and kept running inside.
"Sister!" Feng Qi saw Mu Yan, "Cousin, cousin, where is my sister?"
Ye Ning was behind Feng Qi and patted her shoulder gently, "Feng Qi."
