Chapter 71 Chapter 71 That's for me.
Half an hour later, the door was reopened.
Ye Ning walked out surrounded by the crowd.
Hou Lin had been swiping his wristband at the door. When he saw Ye Ning coming out, he hurried over.
When Ye Ning first entered, he glanced at the door. At that time, these people were still a little serious. But now, they all had smiles on their faces, their eyes were gentle, and each one looked more amiable than the other.
Ye Ning was surrounded by people, and Hou Lin had to work hard to squeeze in and separate her from them.
"Okay, if you have any questions, you guys can discuss them later. I'm leaving now."
Ye Ning said goodbye to them, and everyone stopped and watched her leave reluctantly.
Only after the two of them turned a corner and completely disappeared from everyone's sight did Hou Lin whisper, "Have you finished the discussion?"
Ye Ning nodded, in a good mood.
In fact, there was no need to use the word "talk" because they agreed to any request she made without even thinking about it.
Just as Xilos had said, only she could cultivate crops so quickly and on such a large scale. So, as long as she wanted, countless people on Dust Star would line up to find her. No matter how outrageous her offers, many would rush to agree.
Hou Lin said hesitantly, "You're not really going to the Empire, are you?"
"If you really want to go, I can go with you."
Ye Ning smiled, "Not for now, I have more important things to do right now."
Hou Lin nodded and told her about the latest progress.
"We just informed the detained researchers of your serious injury. Indeed, one of them seems unwell. However, we don't have any definitive evidence yet, so we'll have to detain them for a while longer."
When they heard that Ye Ning was seriously injured, they all became anxious and worried, but one of them was shocked at first.
Micro-expressions are difficult to control. Even if they were insiders for the rebels, their main job was still to be researchers, not as well-trained. Therefore, they were able to accurately capture the subtle expressions that flashed across their faces.
Hou Lin: "Please wait for a while, we will clean it up."
Ye Ning nodded without comment.
For the next few days, Ye Ning focused all his attention on planting.
She goes to the growing room every morning, exercises for two hours in the afternoon, and then goes to the study.
Xiluosi came to see her several times, but Ye Ning was not available. Xiluosi did not mind. If she was reading, he would handle his own affairs nearby.
Ye Ning was a little uncomfortable at first, but after concentrating, she was able to block him directly.
Anyway, he didn't talk and wouldn't disturb her. Besides, he should be back to the ocean in a few days.
But the most important thing is that he is really pleasing to the eyes. Occasionally, when you are tired, you can take a look at him and feel refreshed.
Gu Yu, Le Song and others always stayed by her side unless they were training.
Everyone seemed to be frightened by what happened last time and hardly dared to let her out of their sight.
In the afternoon, Ye Ning was looking at the information, but Xilos, contrary to his usual behavior, did nothing and just looked at her.
An hour later, Ye Ning realized that he had done nothing today.
Once he relaxed, Siros's gaze became somewhat difficult to ignore.
Ye Ning looked over and asked, "Are you free today?"
He was dressed simply today, a white shirt and black trousers, his whole outfit streamlined and clean-cut. He sat on the soft leather sofa, one hand resting lightly on the armrest, the other on his crossed legs. He looked relaxed, yet his posture was perfectly upright, accentuating his slender and elegant figure.
Siros smiled, "I'm going back to the ocean today."
Ye Ning glanced at the time, "It's two o'clock in the afternoon."
Silos: "I'll leave at four."
He was out for nearly a week this time. Although he could handle some things remotely, there were still many things that required him to return to the ocean to deal with.
Ye Ning nodded and focused on her own work again.
She didn't respond, but Silos didn't feel disappointed. He continued to sit on the sofa beside her, quietly looking at Ye Ning. This feeling was wonderful. It seemed that just by looking at her like this, he could feel a rare sense of peace and freedom.
Another hour passed like this.
Ye Ning finally stopped what he was doing.
Ye Ning looked at Xiluos and said, "I've sent you the marine ecological restoration plan. You can take a look at it. You may not understand it, but you can give it to marine professionals. They will know how to operate it after reading it. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly."
"I've also prepared the marine plants and potions you'll need. You can just take them with you."
She primarily chose to use natural methods to regulate the elements in the seawater. Artificial additions can only be used as a supplement; otherwise, if not handled with care, it could lead to seawater pollution or even a direct ecological imbalance.
Furthermore, to prevent the spread of elements and the invasion of waves and tides, a buffer zone must be established near the planting area. For example, different aquatic plants can be planted, or artificial barriers can be set up to slow down the flow of seawater and reduce the diffusion of nutrients.
"I chose the location in the sea area closest to the Xisha area, so that if there is any problem, it will be convenient for me to check it out."
Xilos looked at Ye Ning, and a soft corner of his heart seemed to be gently touched, and a warm current quietly filled his heart.
"You've been working so hard these past few days, are you developing a marine ecological restoration plan for me?"
Ye Ning looked at him and modified his subject, "It's for the entire ocean."
There is a lot of pollution in the ocean, and marine plants grow very fast, so they will definitely absorb pollutants faster.
Xiluos looked at Ye Ning with gentle and deep eyes, "Do you know other sea orcs?"
Ye Ning thought about it and it seemed that there really wasn't any answer. She shook her head honestly.
Siros smiled, "Then I'll assume you did it for me."
He walked up to Ye Ning, opened his arms to her, and leaned over, "Shouldn't you give me a hug when you say goodbye?"
Hou Lin couldn't stand it any longer and forced himself between them. "The child is still young, why are you hugging him? If you want to hug him, hug me."
Before he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and moved closer to Xiluo Si, "Come, hug me, I will let you hug me as you like."
Silos retreated immediately, disgust visible on his face.
"Don't be embarrassed, come here, hug me, hug me." Hou Lin even chased after her.
It was really funny to see Xilos being chased by Hou Lin. Ye Ning raised the corners of her mouth slightly and laughed.
Le Song, who was originally sleeping beside her desk, was also woken up at this time. There were still marks of clothes on his face, and his usually bright eyes looked a little dazed.
But after seeing Ye Ning, Le Song subconsciously handed the water cup over, "Ye Ning, drink some water."
He looked so adorable when he was in a daze, especially his originally smooth snow-white hair, which now had a curled edge. Ye Ning couldn't help but reached out and touched his head.
Le Song;!!!
Le Song instantly woke up, then rubbed his hair under her hand and said, "I washed my hair today."
*
During the days when Ye Ning was quietly planting, the entire federation was still in turmoil.
Because the rewards awarded by the two districts and the empire not only did not end after Ye Ning was found, but were increased again.
The reason they gave was straightforward: the rebels had severely injured Ye Ning, so they would pursue the matter to the end. The reward would remain valid until the rebels were completely annihilated.
The Federation had been actively hunting down the rebels, but with limited success. He Yang took this opportunity to publicly announce the orc fusion.
The Fusion Orcs were the anti-Orcs. Everyone shuddered when they saw the photos. If they were conscious at this moment, they might as well be dead.
For a time, the voices of people against the rebels rose and reached an all-time peak.
Moreover, the two districts were very clear when giving rewards. Even if the other party was just the lowest-level spy of the rebels, as long as their identity was confirmed, they would directly give the reward to the other party.
Therefore, many orcs even formed teams to capture rebels in order to obtain rewards.
These days, when people see someone acting suspiciously on the street, they will speculate whether the person is a rebel.
The importance that the three parties attached to Ye Ning directly led to the continued increase in the curiosity of the federal people about Ye Ning.
On the other hand, because of their emphasis on pure humans, many pure humans have contacted Gaojiang District privately.
Although the Capital District has always emphasized its safety and low pollution levels, it is a fact that Yan Gang was seriously injured and has not been recovered. Anyone comparing the two will inevitably lean towards Gaojiang District.
Capital District.
"District Head, another plant therapist said today that he wants to leave the Capital District."
"Three plant therapists have already left this week."
"District Chief, should we also increase our efforts to find Master Yan Gang?"
It was unfortunate. Yan Gang had been missing for so long, and they hadn't stopped searching for him. But who could have predicted that Xisha District and Gaojiang District would go to such lengths to find him?
The mayor of the Capital District, Xiru, is a middle-aged man, but he has gray hair on his temples and looks a bit old. However, because he always has a smile on his face, anyone who sees him for the first time will find him kind and gentle.
Therefore, he has always been widely praised among the common people.
Xiru said softly, "No need."
The Xisha District and Gaojiang District have already started to make a big move. If they suddenly follow suit and start looking for people, some people will criticize them for not working so hard from the beginning.
No matter what they do, they can't undo this.
But Ye Ning...
Xiru looked at Gu Su: "You also went to find someone, does she really have such a high talent?"
It was just a small cub, but the plants and seeds that appeared in Gaojiang District and Xisha District could not be faked. They had originally been wondering how Gaojiang District could upgrade its seeds without pure humans. If there were pure humans, everything would make sense.
The quality of the seeds from Gaojiang District was so good that, despite their own attempts to cultivate new seeds, they found after repeated comparisons that the quality and effectiveness of these new seeds were far inferior to those provided by Gaojiang District. Therefore, they still purchased seeds directly from Gaojiang District for their internal use.
As soon as Xiru spoke, everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Su.
Gu Su looked at them and smiled. "District Chief, I just provided them with some clues to find someone. The people in Xisha District didn't let me get close."
"Last time in Gaojiang District, although we met her up close, she hid her identity at that time, and even Lord Yan Gang didn't notice anything wrong."
"But the aura she exudes is indeed very unique. From a distance, she is also very appealing."
Xiru nodded in understanding, "That's right, you're not from the Xisha District, how could they let you get close?"
He turned to look at a man next to him who was about his age, "Brother Gu, Gu Yu has been in Xisha District for a long time. It's time for him to come back."
…
As soon as Gu Su stepped out, someone hurried over to look for him.
"Lord Fengyue is angry and is looking for you."
Gu Su frowned for a second, then quickly returned to his normal demeanor, "I'll go take a look."
He followed the person and quickly walked to Feng Yue's residence.
As soon as he entered the room, a box hit him on the head. Gu Su didn't dodge and was directly scratched by the metal edge of the gift box.
"Gu Su, why has this dress been taken apart?"
Feng Yue took a step forward and said, "You know very well that I hate it most when others touch my things."

After Ye Ning had exercised easily for a while, Hou Lin made a new exercise plan for Ye Ning.
He gestured with the weapon in his hand.
"The reason you didn't hit that man's vitals last time wasn't because he dodged too quickly, but because you fired too slowly."
"What he's reacting to is not the time it takes for the bullet to fly by, but the time it takes for you to raise the gun and aim at him."
Hou Lin was quite surprised that Ye Ning was able to shoot directly at those people last time.
Orcs were born with a natural fighting ability, something pure humans lacked. Chongrong had seen contaminants once before, in a cage, and it had frightened him to the point of giving him a fever.
He originally wanted to train Ye Ning to strengthen her body and improve her reaction ability, but he didn't expect that she would react so well.
Ye Ning is right. At critical moments, it is better to rely on yourself than on others.
Hou Lin placed the weapon in front of her. "This is a smart pistol developed specifically for you. It can automatically identify and track the target you want to attack."
"Like this."
Hou Lin gave a signal and Shao Yu released a polluting bee.
The polluted bee flew at an extremely fast speed. Almost the moment Shao Yu released the cage, it left only a shadow.
Hou Lin fired a shot casually, and the bullet immediately chased after the polluting bee.
The next second, a piece of flesh and blood exploded somewhere not far away.
"However, this bullet has a tracking range of only about 500 meters. And for the sake of compactness, only 10 shots can be fired for now."
Hou Lin turned the gun around, pointed it at himself, and then handed it to Ye Ning.
"You try it."
The gun was really small. Generally, the more powerful a gun is, the stronger the recoil is. But when she saw Hou Lin using it just now, it seemed very easy, as if he was playing with a toy gun casually.
"Just aim and pull the trigger here."
Hou Lin signaled to Shao Yu again, and Shao Yu released the second polluting bee from a distance.
Ye Ning quickly aimed at the polluting bee and fired a shot. The bullet quickly caught up and killed it with one shot.
"Not bad, not bad, the effect is still very good."
Hou Lin looked at Ye Ning and said seriously, "From now on, I will be very strict. Even if you complain about the hardship and fatigue, I will not be lenient."
She was still a little cub before, so she definitely couldn't train as hard as she does now. But now she's an adult, so all we need to do is unleash her potential.
Ye Ning nodded, very seriously.
But she still underestimated Hou Lin's seriousness. Hou Lin looked directly at the data, precisely controlling every training parameter, pushing her body to the limit of its current state.
In fact, Hou Lin said that, if Ye Ning really said she was tired and wanted to rest, he would definitely stop. But he didn't expect that Ye Ning endured the two hours of high-intensity training without a word.
Le Song and Shao Yu next to her couldn't bear to watch it anymore, but Ye Ning didn't say anything. Even though they felt distressed, they didn't dare to interrupt her.
When it was over, Ye Ning collapsed on the ground, sweating all over, unable to utter a word, and her hands and feet trembling uncontrollably.
"Okay, okay, let's rest tomorrow. You're amazing. You've persisted through this!" Hou Lin really admired her. He didn't show any mercy, but she didn't let up on herself either.
It must be because of the kidnapping this time. She was so scared that it aroused her fighting spirit. It's all their fault.
Le Song and Shao Yu hurried over and helped her up from the ground, "Ye Ning!"
Le Song felt so distressed that he gently wiped the sweat off her face with a handkerchief.
Hou Lin quickly said, "Go relax first, otherwise you probably won't be able to move tomorrow."
Shao Yu picked her up and said, "Let's go."
Ye Ning thought the relaxation here meant massage, but they put her in a rest cabin.
When the hatch was about to close, Ye Ning finally had the strength to speak, "Don't close it."
"Okay." Hou Lin quickly opened the hatch that was about to close. "If you don't close it, it will take longer to use."
Ye Ning nodded slightly.
She really didn't like lying in that small, enclosed space, as it gave her the illusion that... she was about to die.
Ye Ning soon fell into a deep sleep.
The rest cabin was very effective. When she woke up again, she no longer felt any soreness in her body. Instead, she felt light and airy after a good workout.
Ye Ning was eating dinner while looking at the message on her bracelet.
Reply from time to time.
Hou Lin looked at her and said, "Why aren't you paying attention while eating? Be careful of indigestion."
Ye Ning shook her head, "It's something very important."
As she spoke, she simply put down the spoon and concentrated on replying to the message.
Hou Lin silently slapped himself in his heart. If he had known this earlier, he would not have said anything more.
Ye Ning took ten minutes to reply to the message before continuing to eat.
Her dinner was scrambled eggs, curry, and rice. Rice was a rare treat, something she only ate every now and then. But since the wheat and rice were grown in the plantation, she could eat these carbohydrates more often.
Because she likes spicy food, the chef also made her a spicy pork roll, garnished with green onions, which was super delicious.
Because the consumption was so great, Ye Ning ate it all in one breath.
After finishing her meal, Ye Ning looked at Hou Lin again, "Any news about Bai Qing and the others?"
Hou Lin shook his head. "No movement at all. Maybe he knows there's no chance now."
"But don't worry, the bounty is still there. Catching Bai Qing will instantly boost her fortunes. If she wants to take action again, it won't be as easy as before."
Moreover, Ye Ning was stolen by the second wave of rebels, which shows that they are not so strong-armed. Money can attract people, and they are giving them plants and federal currency, so the other party will always reveal their flaws.
Ye Ning nodded, quickly finished her meal, and started operating the bracelet again.
Hou Lin looked at her, not knowing why, but after Xilos left, she seemed to be even busier.
He had thought she was so busy recently because of Silos, but now it seemed that was not the case.
The next morning, Ye Ning suddenly received news that Cang Chen wanted to see her.
"Cang Chen?"
Gu Yu nodded, "It's the giant wolf you rescued."
Ye Ning almost forgot about him because she had too many things to do recently.
Ye Ning quickly asked, "Is his injury healed?"
Gu Yu nodded, "It hasn't recovered to its peak level, but it's almost healed."
After all, she was the one who saved the person, so if the other party wanted to see her, she could still go and meet him.
Ye Ning agreed without hesitation.
Ye Ning originally wanted to go to the hospital to see him, but Gu Yu said no need, he would bring the person over.
The last time we met, his body was covered in rot and maggots, but after only a week, he was able to go out and walk again. The orcs' recovery ability is indeed strong.
Since the other party is coming to find her, it will definitely be more convenient for her.
Ye Ning: "Have you figured out why they were locked in the secret room?"
Gu Yu explained: "The Wandering Orc Alliance also had a pure human, but he suddenly disappeared a month ago."
Ye Ning was a little surprised, "Is his name Hu Yue?"
Gu Yu nodded.
"The Wandering Orc Alliance immediately dispatched a large number of manpower to try to find the pure human. Not only did they fail to find him, but they also fell into a trap they had set."
Ye Ning guessed what happened next even without Gu Yu saying anything.
Ye Ning thought again of Bai Qing's words about the rebels hunting Hu Yue. She didn't know if it was true or not, but what Bai Qing had said to her that day was a mixture of truth and falsehood. Perhaps that was why it was so believable.
Ye Ning turned around and went back to her own business.
When she was distracted again, Cang Chen had been waiting for her at the door for a while.
At a glance, Ye Ning recognized the man in front of her as the giant wolf.
His emerald eyes, still green and deep, were the only thing in the world, besides plants and green stones, that Ye Ning felt was so green that it reminded her of nature. Ye Ning really liked his eyes.
And his hair is silver, just reaching the shoulder length, with gray mixed in the ends, which makes him look wild and unique.
Ye Ning hurried over and said, "You can just call me when you come."
"It seems that you have recovered well." Ye Ning smiled at him.
The person was right in front of him, and Ye Ning did not hesitate to use his special ability and threw a ball directly to him.
Cang Chen instantly felt an extremely relaxed and comfortable feeling, just like the one he had felt that day.
He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and looked straight at Ye Ning. In his emerald eyes, there was only Ye Ning's reflection.
"You, saved me."
