Chapter 71 Three Years Old "Call me 'baby' and let me hear you."...
Chapter 71
As if frightened by Zhen Miao's scream, the black silkworm suddenly stopped.
But there seemed to be something here that it was extremely interested in, and the silkworm soon began to crawl towards this side again.
Zhen Miao couldn't bear it any longer, and quickly flew back dozens of meters on her flying skateboard, then hid behind a fruit tree trembling.
Shen Qingzhu and Ji Mingxue remained standing where they were, staring intently at the silkworms coming towards them.
Although Shen Qingzhu was standing in front of Ji Mingxue at this moment, he could still vaguely feel Ji Mingxue's tension.
He extended his palm back in a soothing manner. When Ji Mingxue noticed it, she was slightly stunned, and a warm and sweet feeling quickly surged in her heart.
He pursed his lips and smiled, not caring that there were outsiders here, and decisively put his hand into Shen Qingzhu's palm.
Shen Qingzhu closed his palms and held his hand.
Although both of them were wearing gloves at the moment and could hardly feel each other's warmth, the feeling of being cared for and protected by the person they loved quickly calmed Ji Mingxue down.
Noticing that Ji Mingxue was no longer so nervous, Shen Qingzhu turned his attention back to the tiny silkworm.
The silkworm quickly crawled to a position only one step away from Shen Qingzhu and was about to climb onto the surface of Shen Qingzhu's shoes.
Although he did not detect any malicious intent from Deng Yuanyuan, and the tiny silkworm did not show any aggressiveness, for the sake of caution, Shen Qingzhu immediately erected a palm-sized mental barrier in front of the silkworm that was invisible to the naked eye.
As soon as the mental barrier appeared, a hint of surprise flashed across Deng Yuanyuan's eyes.
The dark silkworm suddenly became excited, raised its soft body high, and lay down on the mental barrier with a "pop", letting out a small cry of pleasure.
Then, begin to suck the mental power from the barrier.
In fact, when the silkworm came towards them, Shen Qingzhu vaguely guessed that this little guy might be coming for their spiritual power.
Seeing it so excited at this moment, with its entire body leaning on the mental barrier and almost rolling around, Shen Qingzhu immediately confirmed that it could indeed sense the existence of mental power and liked it very much.
But Shen Qingzhu's control over his mental power was very precise. Although the silkworm sucked very hard, Shen Qingzhu did not share any of his mental power with it - Shen Qingzhu's mental power was very strong, and he was not sure what the consequences would be if the little guy ate his mental power.
Will nothing happen? Or will he explode and die?
He looked at Deng Yuanyuan inquiringly.
At the same time, the silkworm, which had not absorbed any spiritual power at all, also lay on the spiritual power barrier, raised its head, and called out to Deng Yuanyuan in grievance.
Deng Yuanyuan then walked up to the little black silkworm, squatted down and touched the empty body of the little creature, and immediately felt a transparent barrier.
She knew that it was released by Shen Qingzhu.
Deng Yuanyuan nodded the little black silkworm's head soothingly, and simply sat down where she was, looking up and asking Shen Qingzhu, "...What is this?"
Mental power research is a project that Ji Mingxue has invested in.
At this time, Shen Qingzhu had retreated to Ji Mingxue's side, and immediately looked at Ji Mingxue when he heard this.
Realizing that he was asking for her opinion, obviously wanting to ask him whether he wanted to tell Deng Yuanyuan, Ji Mingxue narrowed her eyes in pleasure and said directly, "It's mental power."
"Senior Deng," Ji Mingxue said to Deng Yuanyuan, "you should also have this kind of power, right?"
Although Ji Mingxue did not notice this at first, he keenly noticed that whether he and Shen Qingzhu were pulling the cloth with their mental power, or when Shen Qingzhu released the mental power barrier just now, Deng Yuanyuan's expression was strange for a moment.
Shen Qingzhu should have noticed it as well, so he released his mental barrier in front of Deng Yuanyuan.
Deng Yuanyuan did not answer Ji Mingxue's question, but just lowered her head and looked at her rough hands.
The little black silkworm cried out softly, as if urging her.
Deng Yuanyuan then raised her head again and looked at Shen Qingzhu.
After a long silence, he said with difficulty, "It... wants some of this."
Shen Qingzhu glanced at Ji Mingxue.
Realizing that Ji Mingxue was not angry because of Deng Yuanyuan's disregard, but raised her eyebrows and looked at him, as if she wanted to see how he planned to solve it, Shen Qingzhu smiled at him reassuringly, squatted down, and looked at the little black silkworm that was still clinging to his mental barrier.
He asked Deng Yuanyuan in a gentle voice, "Does it feed on spiritual energy?"
Deng Yuanyuan was indeed not good at speaking. After listening to him, she paused for a while before frowning and saying, "...No."
After saying this, Deng Yuanyuan seemed to be mad at herself, and immediately released her light brain to project onto the screen, using brain waves to type on it.
Deng Yuanyuan: [Most of the time it eats the metal garbage I dig out from the forest. Only occasionally will it lie on my hand and eat a little bit of my stuff...]
[I don’t know how to describe it, but it should be what you call spiritual power? ]
Shen Qingzhu hummed, and gently said to Deng Yuanyuan, "My mental strength is a bit strong. If I feed it like this, I don't know if it will get into trouble."
Deng Yuanyuan quickly replied on the screen, "I'll ask it first."
Shen Qingzhu and Ji Mingxue soon sensed a subtle fluctuation of mental power from her.
Then, the little black silkworm let out a small cry.
Deng Yuanyuan: [It said it only ate a little bit, so it should be fine.]
Shen Qingzhu condensed a thread of mental power on the barrier and let the little black silkworm take a small bite.
After a breath of mental power took over, the little black silkworm's body instantly swelled to twice its size and began to roll wildly on the ground.
Deng Yuanyuan immediately lay on the ground nervously, shouting in a hoarse voice, "Good boy? Good boy?!"
Shen Qingzhu and Ji Mingxue took a few steps back.
Zhen Miao, who had been looking at this side from a distance, also screamed slightly and quickly retreated a few dozen meters.
After rolling on the ground for a long time, when Shen Qingzhu began to wonder if the little guy was going to explode and die, the little black silkworm suddenly stood up again, quickly crawled back to the dilapidated house made of metal garbage, and began to "crunch, crunch" the metal again.
Shen Qingzhu: ...
Ji Mingxue: ...
At the same time, Deng Yuanyuan also breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and brushed off the dust on her body.
Shen Qingzhu asked her curiously, "Senior, is the little guy okay?"
Deng Yuanyuan popped up a light screen, [It's okay, it said it was full and wanted to eat some garbage to digest it. ]
After saying that, Deng Yuanyuan glanced at Shen Qingzhu again, then suddenly turned around and shouted to the dangerous house, "Baby, ball!"
The "click" sound stopped for a few breaths, and then suddenly, several black oval balls popped out from the dangerous building.
Deng Yuanyuan picked up the small balls and handed them to Shen Qingzhu, "Here."
[That piece of cloth is made of these. ]
【This is Guaibao's silkworm cocoon. 】
[Guaibao said he likes you and wants to give these to you. ]
Shen Qingzhu chuckled as she took the cocoons and said to Deng Yuanyuan in a gentle voice, "Senior, please thank the little fellow for me."
Ji Mingxue was very interested in the cocoons. She quickly came to Shen Qingzhu and picked up a cocoon to examine it.
Although the cocoons are black, they will shine with colorful luster when exposed to light.
Perhaps it is because of this that when it is woven into cloth, it forms such colorful black.
This cocoon is also heavier than ordinary silk cocoons. Considering that the little black silkworm eats metal garbage, Ji Mingxue thinks that the main component of this cocoon should also be metal elements.
However, we have to go back and do some detailed testing and research to find out what exactly is involved.
Seeing that he was interested, Shen Qingzhu gave most of the cocoons to Ji Mingxue and only kept one for himself.
Ji Mingxue didn't bother to be polite with him and directly put all the cocoons into the space button.
At the same time, Zhen Miao, who had been hiding a hundred meters away, rushed back quickly.
As soon as she came back, Zhen Miao hurriedly grabbed the corner of Deng Yuanyuan's clothes, looked towards the dangerous building with fear, and said, "Senior, I brought some delicious food here. The weather is so good today, and the scenery in the woods is also beautiful. Let's go for a picnic together!"
After saying that, seeing that Deng Yuanyuan had no objection, Zhen Miao immediately pulled her onto the flying skateboard and started flying into the woods with a "whoosh".
It was not until they were nearly a hundred meters away from the dangerous building that Zhen Miao called out to Shen Qingzhu and the others, "Fellow students! Come to the picnic!"
Shen Qingzhu and Ji Mingxue then stepped on the hoverboards and followed the two men to fly towards the experimental forest.
This time they did not fly too fast, but just followed Zhen Miao and Deng Yuanyuan from a distance.
It was not until this moment that Ji Mingxue whispered to Shen Qingzhu, "Senior Deng can actually communicate with that silkworm. Is this the effect of her mental power?"
Shen Qingzhu chuckled and said, "It's very likely that you should also be able to sense that there was a fluctuation of mental power when she was communicating with the little black silkworm."
Ji Mingxue nodded, "When we get back, I'll have someone test the specific composition of the cocoon."
Shen Qingzhu responded, and then Ji Mingxue said, "But you came here today to find this kind of fabric, right?"
"I see that the silkworms are small, so the cocoon production should be small."
"Is it really okay for you to give me all these cocoons?"
Ji Mingxue wanted to ask this question when she received the silkworm cocoons.
But Deng Yuanyuan was still there at that time, so Ji Mingxue could only keep the question in her heart until they were alone, when she finally had the chance to ask.
When Shen Qingzhu heard this, he felt a little helpless.
In fact, when Shen Qingzhu touched the fabric before, he was sure that the fabric was exactly as Zhen Miao said and completely met his requirements.
But as Ji Mingxue said, the output of silk and cloth is currently too small.
Shen Qingzhu was also keenly aware of the special role of this material in the transmission of mental power, and he couldn't pretend not to know it.
So, "You should take it for testing first."
"I'll ask Senior Deng if there are any extra stocks. If there are, I can buy them directly or use my mental power to exchange them with 'Guaibao'."
When the word "good boy" came out, Ji Mingxue immediately looked sideways.
Noticing his slightly strange look, Shen Qingzhu looked at him puzzledly.
Ji Mingxue stared at him unhappily and whispered, "...You've never called me 'good boy'."
Shen Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed and wanting to laugh.
He actually laughed, looking at Ji Mingxue with curved eyebrows, and said in a gentle voice, "Ji Mingxue, are you three years old this year? Why are you so jealous?"
Ji Mingxue suddenly remembered a post she had read in "Omega's Afternoon Tea".
In that post, the poster who dreamed of Shen Qingzhu said that Shen Qingzhu called him "baby" in the dream.
Although Ji Mingxue was extremely jealous at that time, she knew that she had no right to be jealous.
But times are different now.
He confidently said to Shen Qingzhu, "Yes! I am just three years old! I am just jealous!"
"You decide!"
He pretended to be angry and looked at Shen Qingzhu. She was obviously a proud and bright beauty, but at this moment she was so childish, which was really cute.
Shen Qingzhu was both amused and helpless, yet couldn't help but feel pity for him.
Shen Qingzhu smiled and asked him, "Mingxue, do you also want me to call you 'good boy'?"
Ji Mingxue pouted in dissatisfaction, "I don't want to be called the same thing as a silkworm."
Shen Qingzhu blinked and tilted her head to look at him, "Then what do you want me to call you?"
Ji Mingxue thought for a moment, then suddenly narrowed his eyes and smiled at Shen Qingzhu with a cunning look.
He rode on his flying skateboard and quickly got close to Shen Qingzhu, and the hot air he exhaled almost hit the tip of Shen Qingzhu's ears.
Shen Qingzhu heard his voice with a thick smile, "Call me 'baby' and listen."
Perhaps it was because the distance was too close, or perhaps it was because the word "baby" was too seductive, Shen Qingzhu only felt a surge of heat quickly exploding from his heart and rushing to every part of his body in an instant.
The glands in his mouth began to itch and heat up again. Shen Qingzhu subconsciously pressed them with the tip of his tongue, silently hiding his momentary unbalanced heartbeat.
But he was a little unwilling and didn't want to be so passive when Ji Mingxue teased him.
Occasionally, he would want to see Ji Mingxue being embarrassed by being teased.
Shen Qingzhu adjusted his breathing slightly.
When he turned his head, he saw Ji Mingxue looking at him mischievously, as if she didn't really want to hear that name from him and was just teasing Shen Qingzhu.
Ji Mingxue indeed thought so.
He really likes to see Shen Qingzhu when he teases her. She is obviously very shy but pretends to be calm, and her face is often lightly flushed from her collarbone to the tips of her ears!
Ji Mingxue didn't really expect Shen Qingzhu to call him that.
After all, Shen Qingzhu is so introverted and easily shy!
He stared at Shen Qingzhu without blinking, until he realized that Shen Qingzhu seemed to have recovered. Only then did Ji Mingxue stop and prepare to return to his original position.
Just as Ji Mingxue was lowering his head to adjust the flying skateboard, he suddenly heard Shen Qingzhu's gentle voice with a slight smile.
"Ji Xiaoxue."
Ji Mingxue was stunned, her heart thumping, and she was immediately touched by the sweetness of this slightly childish name, and her face suddenly became hot.
But he still raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Qingzhu, smiling and said, "This is not what I want to hear, it's..."
"baby."
Shen Qingzhu uttered these two words with great tenderness, her emerald green eyes rippling with heart-stirring green waves.
Ji Mingxue's scalp felt numb, his whole body couldn't help but tremble, and his mind went blank.
“Plop!”
The flying skateboard suddenly crashed into a thick fruit tree.
It fell to the ground with another "plop".
Shen Qingzhu's heart skipped a beat and he quickly lowered the flying skateboard and stopped it next to Ji Mingxue.
Ji Mingxue suddenly sat up from the bushes. His neat white hair had become slightly messy, and even had a few red berries hanging on it.
Ji Mingxue seemed to be completely unaware of it. Her cheeks were red, and she looked at Shen Qingzhu with sparkling eyes. She said dreamily, "...What did you call me just now?!"
