Chapter 402 White Wolf
The next day, after getting ready, we went to the planting base to continue farming, but today we planted only pure medicinal plants, as well as ordinary grains, vegetables, and fruits.
Having just finished planting all the plants and leaving the planting base, Gu Qing saw Bai Xiao at the entrance. Gu Qing deliberately raised her wrist to check the time on her smart device.
"I arrived a little early." Bai Xiao's demeanor today was completely different from yesterday. He was smiling very brightly, but with a touch of silliness.
"Qingqing, are you done with your work?" Bo Chuan said, holding one child in each arm, with Butler Yan following behind.
Gu Qing didn't take it; she had just finished working with the seedlings and her hands weren't exactly clean.
"Just finished, is dinner ready?" The children kept leaning towards her. Gu Qing raised her slightly dirty hands, and after the two children saw them, they put their little hands behind their backs.
No longer wanting her to hold them, Gu Qing couldn't help but tease them, trying to kiss them on the face. You'an didn't resist, but Youning's brows were furrowed tightly.
"Isn't the food already prepared? The two kids saw me and somehow thought of you, so they insisted on coming out to find you." The two women and one child were chatting and laughing.
Bai Xiao looked on with envy, then turned his head and saw Liao Wen, who seemed to have disappeared. He nudged him with his elbow. "Hey, do you still recognize me?"
Liao Wen turned to look at him and nodded.
Bai Xiao flashed that silly smile again, "From now on, we'll be working together. I signed a 100-year contract!"
There was no negative emotion in his words; on the contrary, there was a hint of excitement.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work?"
"Sigh, what's this? It's just an equal exchange for hard work. Besides, the danger here is much less than that of exploring." His voice grew softer and softer as he spoke, and his eyes became deep and unfathomable.
Liao Wen had been following her these past few days, but he didn't eat with her. Today, Bo Chuan came back, so Gu Qing let them eat with her.
Liao Wenben wanted to decline, but Bai Xiao found a seat and sat down. "Thank you, Master Gu. Since I was mutated, I've been eating only satiety pills. Now that I see hot food, hehehehe."
"Do you have any memories after you were transformed?" Gu Qing asked because she saw that he didn't seem to care.
"No, the first time I regained my memory was when the contamination level dropped below 90%. It's not that I had none at all, but now I occasionally have fragments flashing through my mind. They're unclear, like a dream."
After he finished speaking, he picked up a few bean sprouts, put them in his mouth and chewed them, then suddenly quickened his pace. After swallowing, his eyes sparkled as he looked at Gu Qing.
"This dish is delicious. Most importantly, it's a pure food with no off-putting smell, just a subtle fragrance. Every bite is packed with energy."
He showered her with praise, but ate slowly, only stopping at double speed after Gu Qing finished her meal.
After Gu Qing finished visiting the two children, Bai Xiao was already waiting in the purification room. He even sat down in a specially made chair. His hands, feet, waist, and abdomen were restrained, in addition to the restraint device he wore around his neck.
He gave her that silly husky grin, which actually made him look rather docile. "The pollution level has dropped to 78. Release your spirit form."
As soon as Gu Qing finished speaking, a huge white wolf materialized. After emerging, it shook its fur and sat there looking at Gu Qing.
He exuded an air of aloofness and coldness. Gu Qing thought about what the Interstellar Chronicles said: the spiritual body is the deepest thought in the human heart. So, in a sense, is Bai Xiao actually quite arrogant and indifferent?
The enthusiasm he's displaying now, along with that somewhat goofy smile, is actually another way of hiding his true nature.
When Caiyun appeared, both Bai Xiao and Bai Lang's pupils contracted. Bai Lang paced anxiously on the ground for a few steps before tentatively sniffing the air.
Bai Xiao stared at Caiyun as if he was thinking of something. He then slowly relaxed and leaned back in his chair, and as he moved, the white wolf slowly lay down as well.
The colorful cloud drifted over and circled the spirit body once before gently sticking to its head. The white wolf was about to shake its head when it fell silent again.
The purification process then began. The human and the wolf clearly sensed the difference; there was a significant barrier between A-level and B-level. As the purification continued...
Bai Xiao's breathing became heavy, his eyes trembled, and fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. He returned to his mental image when the colorful clouds turned pitch black.
It took the man and the wolf quite a while to recover. Bai Xiao withdrew his spiritual form and looked at Gu Qing with a complicated expression. He had been imprisoned for too long and initially thought that Gu Qing had awakened a special spiritual form.
It now seems that the harsh contract that the purifier had come prepared.
