Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Pure Human, Why Save Him—…
Feng Qi carefully placed his schoolbag on the sofa, then went over and pulled Ye Ning over.
"A gift from the Mermaid King?" Mu Yan walked over, his tone somewhat teasing, "Will the Mermaid King give you a gift?"
"Cousin, why are you coming to my house?"
Feng Qi looked at him, then at Ye Ning, "Are you here to protect your sister too?"
Mu Yan nodded and walked over to her. "Take a look?"
Feng Qi excitedly took out a box from his schoolbag, "This is it!"
It was a gift box that looked extremely elegant and luxurious. The main color tone was ocean blue, and the surface was inlaid with precious and rare pearls, corals, and shells for decoration. The top of the gift box was elegantly tied with a golden ribbon.
Ye Ning looked at the gift box in amazement, "It looks great."
Feng Qi: "Yes, yes, I thought it would take a few days to receive it, but I didn't expect to receive it this afternoon!"
They are indeed the mermaid tribe, so powerful that they can even deliver to the Xisha area so quickly.
Ye Ning touched the pearls on it. They were of different sizes, with diameters ranging from about 7 to 17 mm. In addition to white, there were also pink and gold, and each one looked round and shiny.
Anyone who sees it can tell that this box is worth a lot of money.
Mu Yan frowned slightly, "Is this for you?"
"Yes! This is a special gift from the Mermaid King! Last time, my sister and I were blowing bubbles together, and she blew a hidden bubble. After I uploaded the picture, I received this!"
Feng Qi looked at Ye Ning expectantly: "Sister, I didn't take it apart. Let's take it apart together!"
After she received it, she was itching to open it, but when she thought about it, she realized that it was the bubbles blown by her sister, so she held back.
Mu Yan looked at the address and raised his eyebrows. It was actually sent from the Baleranti Sea.
Ye Ning also wondered what was inside. So, was there a mermaid king in this world? She had no idea what he looked like.
The image of a rough mermaid king with seaweed hair, a beard and a fork in his hand popped up in Ye Ning's mind.
She smiled at Feng Qi and said, "Tear it down, go ahead."
Each of them pulled at one end of the ribbon and opened the box.
There were two levels inside. The first level contained a complete set of merchandise from Feng Qi's favorite mermaid celebrity! It contained everything she couldn't buy before, and even a visitor card. It said she had a chance to invite her favorite mermaid celebrity to perform for her!
Feng Qi screamed and wailed with excitement, nearly growing a small elephant trunk. Mu Yan intervened and finally calmed her down.
They continued to open the second layer, and this layer actually contained two huge light pink pearls, a badge engraved with a mermaid pattern and the image of a king, and two golden invitations.
Feng Qi handed a pearl to Ye Ning, "Smell it, sister, it smells so good."
Ye Ning also held the pearl and smelled it. She was a little surprised and looked at it carefully. It should be a pearl, but it seemed to be wrapped in something, which made it emit the scent of green stone.
No wonder Feng Qi thought it smelled so good.
Ye Ning thought back to the bubble water she had that night. Suddenly, she realized that she could faintly sense the scent of the Green Singing Stone within the bubble water. The Green Singing Stone content in the bubble water was extremely low, so most people wouldn't be able to detect it, but they could sense its purifying effect.
They must have put this in on purpose.
Plant elements can purify pollutants. Thinking about it this way, those bubble waters are really worth a lot of money.
Feng Qi sniffed it vigorously twice, then put down the pearls and picked up the invitation. She looked over it twice and said, "Sister, with this invitation, we can go to the bottom of the sea to see the mermaid king's palace!"
The cover of the invitation is the magnificent mermaid palace.
Ye Ning looked at the exquisite invitation and asked curiously, "If we are at the bottom of the sea, can we still breathe?"
Feng Qi nodded and said, "Of course, of course. It's just that land beastmen don't like the seabed."
"But we probably can't go. We are too young and the ocean is far away. When I grow up, I also want to protect the Xisha area like my mother, so I won't have time to go." Feng Qi put the invitation back.
"Let me see." Mu Yan took the invitation letter, but he looked at it again and again, even checked the watermark, and finally had to admit that these were all real.
Mu Yan suddenly found it a little unbelievable, "Just because you blew a hidden bubble, I give you this?"
"Yes! That's a super rare hidden bubble. It's because my sister is lucky, otherwise it would be very hard to get!" Feng Qi pushed the box in front of Ye Ning and said generously: "Sister, you pick first!"
Ye Ning shook her head and pushed the box back, "Just keep it."
She wasn't too interested in any of these things, and she just blew a bubble.
"Then we'll each get a pearl and a badge!" Feng Qi handed the pearl and badge to her directly, "This pearl smells so good!"
Seeing that she was so happy with the smell, Ye Ning secretly put a small amount of wood-type power on the pearl.
Feng Qi's eyes immediately lit up: "Why does it smell even better the more I smell it?"
Feng Jin had just finished his shift and returned home to see the three of them sitting together looking at a gift box.
"What are you looking at?"
As soon as Feng Qi saw her, he immediately told her again excitedly, and then showed her the contents of the gift box.
Feng Jin was also a little surprised, but considering that a bottle of bubble water was so expensive, and the hidden version came in such a large gift box, it seemed reasonable. After all, only the two pearls were expensive; the rest were not particularly valuable.
Ye Ning hadn't seen her for several days. When she saw her again, she looked tired. Looking into her eyes, she could tell that she might not have slept for several days.
Ye Ning thought, she must be busy with something important. They all seemed very busy. When they were busy, was Feng Qi the only one at home?
Ye Ning secretly released some wood-type supernatural powers to cover Feng Jin's body. She was now able to control it very well, expanding a little supernatural power to the maximum and then covering the other person's body. This would make the other person feel very comfortable.
Feng Jin, looking at Ye Ning sitting obediently on the sofa and greeting him, felt his heart melt and the fatigue of the past few days was relieved a lot.
She wanted to hug Ye Ning, but thinking about how dirty she was, she just greeted Ye Ning from a distance and then quickly went to take a shower.
Ye Ning thought about it and put a little more supernatural power in the bathroom.
After Feng Qi packed up the gift box, Ye Ning took her back to her room.
"Look." Ye Ning pushed open the door and saw the planting box just sitting in the corner of the floor.
Feng Qi:!!!
She ran over and excitedly looked at the plant and then at Ye Ning, "Sister, is this a plant?"
Feng Qi began to doubt his eyes, but the green sprouts looked exactly like the plants in the book!
Ye Ning nodded, "These are the seeds and planting boxes that the teacher gave me."
She took out the extra seeds from the side and placed them in front of Feng Qi. "Would you like to exchange them for a good seed?"
Feng Qi was even more shocked when he saw so many seeds. "Sister, how come you have so many seeds?"
"Because your sister is a pure human." Mu Yan leaned against the door and said lazily.
Feng Qi:!!!
She knew that there was a reason why everyone took turns protecting their sister!
"This matter must be kept secret. You can't tell anyone, okay? Otherwise--" Mu Yan made a gesture of pulling his neck.
"Cousin, you are the one with a big mouth. I won't tell anyone else!" Feng Qi was unhappy. He pushed him out and closed the door.
Turning around, Feng Qi looked at Ye Ning happily, as if he couldn't see enough of her, and couldn't help but hug her.
Not only does she have a pure human sister, but she can also hug her!
"I was wondering why I liked my sister so much, it turns out she is a pure human!" Pure humans are different from orcs, and you can basically tell the difference at a glance, but she didn't study hard and didn't realize it for so long, and in the end she had to have others tell her.
Feng Qi once again realized the importance of studying, and she silently vowed in her heart that she must listen carefully in class.
When she hugged Ye Ning, Ye Ning also hugged her.
I don’t know why, but every time Ye Ning hugged her, she felt very safe.
After a while, Ye Ning patted her on the back and asked her, "Do you want to change a seed?"
Feng Qi thought about it and shook his head. "No, I just want to know if I can grow plants. If I change the flowerpot and seeds, they won't be the same seeds my father bought me."
"Didn't you say I might be able to grow it? I want to give it a try!"
Ye Ning nodded and said, "Then you can plant it yourself. I will teach you how to water and fertilize it and see if you can grow it."
Ye Ning placed the reprocessed flowerpot in front of Feng Qi and said, "You can put the pearl next to the flowerpot. Maybe it will make the seeds germinate faster."
Feng Qi asked in shock, "Can pearls make seeds germinate?"
Ye Ning: "The smell on the pearls can promote seed germination. Anything with this smell can make the seeds germinate."
Feng Qi nodded seriously, sniffed Ye Ning again, and after confirming it again and again, he said, "I remember this smell!"

Although Gaojiang District was no longer prepared to support Yan Gang, they couldn't just let this matter go. If they couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation, others would definitely find it strange.
So that afternoon, all the people in Gaojiang District, except Hou Sen and Hou Lin, returned to Gaojiang District by aircraft.
Gaojiang District also immediately announced that Hou Sen had suddenly become seriously ill and had to return immediately.
At the same time, they also veiled the outside world about Yan Gang's request for two S-level plants. This immediately made everyone think that Hou Sen's illness was fake, and that he was using his illness as an excuse to stop supporting Yan Gang.
It wasn't uncommon for pure humans to suddenly change their minds and raise their demands, but generally, everyone would do their best to satisfy them. But this time, Yan Gang went so far as to ask for two S-rank plants, something that would be difficult for anyone to accept.
They supported pure humans just for the sake of plants, but now they haven't gotten any plants, and the other party has to pay for two S-level plants.
Once the news got out, everyone, though they kept quiet, privately felt that Yan Gang's appetite was a bit too big. If they were asked to do the same as Gaojiang District, they would probably just give up.
However, although they left, Hou Sen did not let them take back the S-level plant they bought at the auction.
The plant was still in its growth stage. After being stored in the safe for a few days, although it still looked fresh, a closer look revealed that it had actually lost some vitality.
After seeing the tender buds of Ye Ning, Hou Sen's perception of this plant dropped several levels.
Hou Sen planned to give this plant directly to Ye Ning.
Yan Gang had said before that he wanted to compare the differences between S-level plants grown by different people.
Of course there was a difference, and it was quite significant. But given his talent and personality, it would be a waste even if he got it.
It’s just right to give it to Ye Ning now.

In the cold and empty room, the air seemed to be stagnant, leaving only silence. The room was devoid of any unnecessary decorations, and the basic silver tone made it feel completely devoid of warmth.
In the corner, Long Qi was curled up on the ground. His face was extremely pale, and his lips were completely bloodless.
His eyes were tightly closed, his long eyelashes casting a shadow beneath them. His hands were clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms from time to time, and beads of sweat covered his forehead.
His breathing was heavy and rapid, and each time it made his body tremble.
Then, as if he had escaped from an abyss, his brows slowly relaxed, his fists gradually loosened, and his breathing gradually returned to normal.
The pollutants in his body have not been completely cleared out, so he is sometimes lucid and sometimes confused.
The moment he regained consciousness, he could feel the icy chill and pain spreading from his bones throughout his body. The pollutants in his body were slowly eating away at his life force. The chaotic moment seemed to return to the darkness of his childhood, where he watched his tribe members die one by one around him. The air was thick with the smell of blood.
He tried to breathe, but each breath felt like a sharp blade slicing through his lungs, only intensifying the suffocating and tearing sensation. He tried to move, but his limbs felt like they were bound by iron chains, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't budge. The feeling of powerlessness swallowed him like an abyss.
until--
A soft, warm green light appeared in his world.
The green light gently penetrated into his limbs and bones. The creatures that had been biting him seemed to be driven away, and the severe bone-eating pain was greatly relieved in that instant.
It was as if an invisible force had undoubtedly saved him from the brink of being swallowed by darkness.
But when those burning red, cold eyes opened again, all emotions receded like the tide, leaving only coldness.
His heart should have been filled with disgust and rejection, but at this moment, the green seemed to still linger in his body, even bringing him an inexplicable throbbing.
Long Qi covered his heart with his hands, a hint of rejection and irritation appeared between his eyebrows, but the more he tried to reject it, the stronger the throbbing brought by the green became.
Pure human, why save him——
