Chapter 12
Shi Changyuan listened to Lin Ling's words, remained silent for a moment, and decided to clear his name, "In fact, there are many things in the abyss."
As he spoke, Shi Changyuan lowered his head and leaned over.
The little flower demon was stunned for a moment and instinctively stepped back, but Shi Changyuan reached out and gently pressed the back of Lin Ling's head, closing the distance between them and touching their foreheads.
"Why are you running?" Shi Changyuan smiled and coaxed in a low voice, "Close your eyes."
The little flower demon obeyed the order subconsciously. When he closed his eyes, the entire abyss space suddenly appeared in his mind.
In his mind, Lin Ling could see rows and rows of "small boxes" in the dark and boundless space, which contained all kinds of different things.
When the little flower demon extended his mental power, it was like extending a small tentacle to open the small boxes one by one.
When he opens those spaces, he can look down at all the contents inside from a high bird's eye view.
A mess of trees and stones, various kinds of clothing and food made by humans, books, or antiques, gems, gold, and banknotes from all over the world were all piled together randomly. They were probably the things that the abyss swallowed from human cities when it expanded.
Lin Ling looked around in amazement. It took him a lot of effort to scan the entire space.
There are all kinds of things in those spaces, and there is even an ancient castle in a corner!
Lin Ling randomly picked a few spaces that looked full and immediately felt dizzy.
His brain can't store that much.
The little flower demon opened her eyes, took two steps back dazedly, severed the "shared connection" with Shi Changyuan, and then was grabbed and taken to sit on a small sofa that appeared out of nowhere.
"That's a lot of stuff indeed." Lin Ling curled up on the sofa and made a conservative estimate, "You probably swallowed up half of the human base."
That was only the part I saw, and it was already so huge.
"Um."
Shi Changyuan did not deny it, nor did he think there was anything wrong with hoarding so many things. He just looked at his seeds and asked, "Lingling, what do you want?"
The tone of his questioning made it seem as if he could find whatever Lin Ling wanted.
Lin Ling seemed to have understood the meaning, blinked, and asked tentatively, "Give me everything?"
Shi Changyuan nodded and said as a matter of course, "Of course."
These things were originally reserved for his seeds.
After Shi Changyuan woke up from losing his seeds, he expanded and searched for his own seeds. He saw a lot of new things and thought at that time that he should keep these things for his seeds to see.
Therefore, being swallowed by the abyss no longer means destruction.
Sometimes, even when Shi Changyuan accidentally swallowed a living thing, he wanted to enclose it in a space to keep it for his seeds.
Although the other living creatures were furry and he thought his seeds would like them, those furry creatures would produce garbage and poop, and were not as obedient as his seeds at all. Abyss immediately threw them all out in disgust.
His seeds are still cute.
Shi Changyuan looked at the small flower in front of him and added, no matter whether it is before or after germination.
"Actually, I don't want anything." Lin Ling rolled over on the soft sofa, then hung upside down on the sofa with his head down and his feet up, looking upside down at Shi Changyuan who was standing in front of him.
"But I'm curious, when we first met, how did you find that small can of fertilizer among all those messy things?"
Lin Ling thought for a moment and added, "There is also the hair towel, shirt, and yellow duck raincoat."
"I didn't see it just now either."
Shi Changyuan looked at the heartless and unguarded little flower demon and said deliberately, "Instead of being curious about this, you might as well be curious about where your real body is."
"Oh, right!" Lin Ling got up quickly and looked at Shi Changyuan in confusion, "Then where is my original body?"
Shi Changyuan didn't say anything, so Lin Ling looked around, and finally his eyes were fixed on the table where some things were still placed.
Lin Ling walked over, and the first thing he saw was a bunch of small white flowers placed in a beautiful vase, covering most of the table top.
"You take good care of this bouquet of flowers!" Lin Ling's eyes suddenly lit up and he turned to look at Shi Changyuan.
If someone treats the gift you give with care, everyone will be happy!
Behind the bouquet was the small white flower that Lin Ling had given her when they first met. It was placed in a display glass bottle and sealed with a lid. There was no sign of wilting at all.
Finally, in the very center of the table was an antique flowerpot that Lin Ling was very familiar with, and the small flower itself.
"Wow, you put everything here?" Lin Ling exclaimed.
"Um."
Shi Changyuan followed and stood behind Lin Ling. He thought for a moment and said, "Don't leave important things lying around."
When Lin Ling heard these words, he was stunned. He looked at the space in the middle of the abyss, then at the table in the middle of the space, and then at the flower pot in the middle of the table...
And in the very center of the flowerpot, there is a small flower of his own.
Lin Ling suddenly felt that there seemed to be a small sign hanging on his original body, with the three words "most important" clearly written on it.
With a "bang", the burning sensation at the base of the ears spread all over her cheeks, and Lin Ling's long eyelashes fluttered continuously, like butterfly wings.
"Okay, okay." Lin Ling changed the subject in confusion, "Then, then where did you put the seeds before?"
Shi Changyuan reached out and pointed at the antique flowerpot in front of Lin Ling without even pausing.
"Here."
Lin Ling's eyes suddenly widened.
His mind was almost spinning, and he repeated hesitantly, "You mean, here? This flower pot?"
Shi Changyuan nodded in affirmation.
"Then, then didn't I take away the little seed's position?" Lin Ling simply couldn't believe it, and his face was filled with resentment as if he was a bad guy.
"No." Shi Changyuan rubbed Lin Ling's head and said in a very normal tone.
"This is your place."
Lin Ling didn't understand.
"Lingling, do you really not remember anything at all?"
Shi Changyuan's tone finally showed some emotion, with a sense of loss that he himself might not have noticed, and he said, "I thought you would remember it after you came back."
Lin Ling once again looked at the empty space and the only things in it that were related to him, and finally realized -
"I am the seed you lost?"
Lin Ling's voice was very soft, and his eyes slowly turned to his original form, the little flower. There would be no sign saying "Most Important" hanging on that little flower.
Because there was already a sign clearly saying "Abyss" hanging there!!!
