Chapter 128: Wen Ye is Really Good at Bribing Shu Xin (4,000 Words)
"Xiao Baiguo, long time no see."
Caesar, one of Peggy's dog friends, also known as the man in a suit, was wearing a neat military uniform at this time. He exuded a military integrity from head to toe, which shocked Baiguo.
Bai Guo had initially thought of him as a shrewd and capable businessman. How could he suddenly transform into a soldier? She had been completely mistaken.
"Aren't you... Pei Ji's friend?" Bai Guo was more curious about this now.
"I am both Pei Ji's friend and Wen Ye's friend. There is no conflict between the two." Xi Ze wanted to give Bai Guo a friendly smile, but unfortunately, he was so used to having facial paralysis that he couldn't smile.
"Is that so?" Bai Guo squinted his eyes and looked at Xi Ze, whose whole aura had changed. Humans looked quite good in military uniforms.
"Then why can't I tell at all that you are a warrior?"
Caesar calmly let Bai Guo look at him. "Doesn't this little cub know that in the army there are not only soldiers but also logistics?" "Idiot."
"You'll understand after a few more days of classes. In the First Army, mecha warriors are just one branch of the military. There are many others." Caesar pushed open the door to the villa. "I have something to do later, so I'll give you the things first."
Baiguo followed Xize eagerly. She knew of course that an army was divided into many branches, but the ones she was most familiar with and the first ones she came into contact with were soldiers. So, who cares? Canzhi was more important.
Caesar didn't hesitate. As soon as he entered the villa, he took out two folding space boxes from his space ring. "Your father Wen Ye even went to Gourmet Star to buy you a lot of delicious food. The other box is a big surprise he said he would give you."
He didn't open it to take a look. He guessed it was just something for kids to eat and play with. Poor guy, he had to be a courier in his busy schedule.
Bai Guo was completely surprised. Not only were there such thick branches, but there were also so many delicious foods. Her father Wen Ye really understood her so well!
Peggy was not so considerate, but she also expressed her understanding that every human being is different, and so are plants, each one is also unique. Peggy is doing well the way she is now, at least much better than before!
Caesar put his things down and was about to leave. He was indeed very busy recently. He had just taken office and there were still many things to deal with. Peggy was not here at the moment, and he didn't know what to say when facing a little cub.
Are you speechless when looking at each other?
Baiguo didn't try to keep her. She was still thinking about absorbing her thick branches as soon as possible. Xize had been staying here for so long that she didn't dare to move. She didn't know what changes would happen to her body by then. Would she grow a little taller?
After Xize left, Baiguo washed her hands first, tidied her clothes, and opened the folding space box with anticipation and excitement. Both boxes were marked, so she knew which one was the branch and which one was the delicious food. Wen Ye was really thoughtful.
Her favorable impression of Wen Ye increased rapidly. This human father was quite qualified. It was worth it for her to help him activate the tree heart blood. It was totally worth it!
As soon as Pei Ji returned home, he saw his daughter with a wretched look on her face. She was rubbing her hands and was about to open the folding space box with trembling hands. Is it really that necessary?
Pei Ji's face was filled with black lines. "Who sent it?"
Of course he knew what was in it. It was just something Wen Ye had sent in advance to coax him. This realistic kid immediately forgot about his father once he got Canzhi.
"Uncle Xize." Bai Guo replied as she opened the folding space box and took out a branch that was thicker and longer than her. The moment she picked it up, she clearly felt its excitement. Yes, this was her big branch, her big treasure. It was the first time she saw a branch that was still intact. This broken branch alone was much better than what she had collected during this period.
"It's actually Caesar?" Peggy paused as she took off her shoes. Did that guy succeed in getting promoted? Not bad, he's made some progress.
At this time, Baiguo's eyes were full of big branches. He didn't care that its surface was black and covered with charcoal. He hugged it affectionately and kissed it again and again to express his excitement.
Can you imagine, a little cub with three heads, holding a branch longer and thicker than her, rubbing and kissing it again and again. Her originally clean clothes and face were all black, especially her mouth, as if she was poisoned. Coupled with her purple and miserable face, it was very creepy. At least Peggy's body shook subconsciously.
It's really eye-catching.
"Are you sure it's your body?" Pei Ji's gaze returned to the broken branch. It was so thick that one could imagine how big the ginkgo body was, but it was difficult to connect the two together.
Moreover, his daughter is quite strong. This broken branch must be very heavy, but she can pick it up easily. It seems that he still knows her too little.
"Yes, yes." Bai Guo reluctantly touched the surface of the broken branch. The lines on it were so familiar. Even without using her mental power, she could feel the excitement of meeting her. "Come here and greet it with your mental power. After all, my blood flows in your bodies."
Peiji twitched her lips. "What do you mean you all have her blood flowing through your bodies?" "But doesn't she have his genes in her body too?" "How else could this cub possibly be his daughter? He's so young, and he's already a father. No one would accept that, would they?"
But Peggy was still quite curious. What kind of reaction could a branch have? It was so dead that it couldn't be deader, but it still reacted.
Peiji closed the door and walked with heavy steps. Don't get me wrong, it was because she was tired from the training, not because she saw the miserable state of the branch. When she stood in front of the branch, she reached out her hand and touched it lightly, but there was no reaction at all.
It's just a dead branch, haha!
"You want to use mental power, but you are not me, how can it respond to you!" Bai Guo rolled his eyes at Pei Ji, how could he be so stupid!
"What are you looking at?" Pei Ji was choked and cursed in his heart, releasing a trace of mental power to the dead branch.
The mental power that had been very calm suddenly became active. Pei Ji's pupils shrank slightly. He actually had a reaction. And what happened to his mental power? It seemed like it was about to jump out of his body and not come back!
Bai Guo certainly knew what was going on. Pei Ji and Wen Ye were different. Wen Ye possessed mental power. As for Pei Ji, if it weren't for her tree heart blood, he would just be an ordinary human. Now, 90% of his mental power came from her tree heart blood, so he became abnormally active.
After Bai Guo's explanation, Pei Ji nodded in understanding. No wonder he had such a big reaction. Wen Ye didn't have that at the beginning. Tree heart blood was really magical. This reaction forced him to accept the fact that Bai Guo was really a tree, but he still felt a little unable to accept it...
Baiguo hugged the branch closely for a while, and then absorbed it all. After absorbing such a thick branch, her changes were huge.
Pei Ji watched as Bai Guo's short hair, which was just past her shoulders, turned into waist-length hair, and her amber pupils became darker. If you looked closely, you could see a faint green halo around them, but if you didn't look closely, it wouldn't be very noticeable.
No, someone actually changed their hair from short to long in front of him in a second! Is this scientific? Absolutely not scientific, which means this is really a tree!
This is true!
Baiguo blinked her eyes. Her mental strength was more abundant than before. She could even feel that this weakling's body had become a little stronger. His height, well... seemed to have grown only a little bit, or maybe not at all. She wanted to cry.
"Pei Ji, do you think I have grown a little taller?" Bai Guo compared with his hands, hoping that Pei Ji would nod.
In the end, Peggy shook her head honestly, "I only noticed that your hair has grown longer, your pupils have changed slightly, your pale skin has become a little rosier, and your height... hasn't grown at all. In fact, because of the sudden long hair, you seem to be a little shorter."
ginkgo:"……"
I want to cry. Sure enough, I have to find the trunk of the tree to grow taller, but where is this thick, big, and long trunk? I have no idea where to find it. It's been more than two months, and I haven't grown at all. Will she be suspected?
After all, every month, Yijun would have a full body check, including height and weight, and it was a disaster, he really hadn't grown at all!
Pei Ji looked at Bai Guo's long hair with a worried look. His steps became less heavy now and he began to rummage through the drawers looking for a pair of scissors. In order to avoid suspicion, he had to cut the hair off.
"What do you want to do?" Bai Guo looked at Pei Ji, who had found a pair of large scissors and was protecting her long hair. He didn't want to cut her hair, did he? She absolutely wouldn't allow it!
"Cut your hair." Pei Ji felt tired. This kind of thing was too unreal. If he hadn't seen the short hair turn into long hair with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.
Now he had no choice but to believe this situation. Ever since he met Baiguo, he always felt that he was living in a magical world. Not only did the tree turn into a human, but the tree also had four fathers. That was not enough, but now he could see the changes in her body with his own eyes.
If she collected more broken branches, would she instantly grow taller in front of him? He couldn't accept that at all. He still liked his daughter to be small like she was now. It would be no fun if she grew up.
Bai Guo looked down at her long hair. It was really beautiful. Unfortunately, it would be too conspicuous if she went out like this now. Besides, female students in the army were not allowed to have too long hair, so she had no choice but to agree and retracted half of her hair, just like before.
"Click"
The sound of the scissors falling to the ground, coupled with Pei Ji's expression of doubt about life, made Bai Guo smile complacently. Humans really like to make a fuss. Didn't they just retract their hair? Humph.
"Is this okay now?"
Baiguo stepped over the lifeless branch without any reluctance, completely forgetting the affectionate look he had shown it just now. What a scumbag.
“You, you, you…”
Pei Ji pointed at Bai Guo with shaking fingers. He suspected that he was dreaming. The damn hair could actually retract. He was so excited that he almost swore. He even wanted to punch himself on the spot to see if he was dreaming.
He finally understood why those cadets asked someone to beat them up. It was totally unimaginable that such a magical thing happened right in front of him. Was it a tree or some monster? He suddenly felt a little scared.
This was not enough. Bai Guo once again grew his hair long in front of Pei Ji, and slowly walked in front of Pei Ji, who looked doubtful about his life. His hair seemed to have life and wrapped around Pei Ji's wrist, and scratched his palm.
Peggy retracted her hand in fear and retreated to the corner, stammering, "Your hair still... moves?"
Bai Guo raised the corner of his mouth, and his hair grew short again. "Of course they will. They are all alive. Each of my hairs is a small branch. Don't be surprised. Wait until I find all the remaining branches, and then I will show you how huge and beautiful my true form is!"
Pei Ji: “…”
He didn't really want to watch. He just wanted to be quiet for a while. He moved his palm that had just been scratched by the hair. He needed to slow down. He needed to slow down. His heart was not strong enough yet...
Peggy mechanically sat down on the sofa, slumped down, and covered his eyes with his hands. Was he still in the Federation? Was this still the Federation? Why was something like this happening so vividly before his eyes?
Bai Guo didn't want to tease Pei Ji anymore. Since she had found the branch, she decided to have a big meal. She didn't know what delicious food Wen Ye had bought for her. She just heard Xize talk about the Gourmet Star. Is this Gourmet Star full of delicious food?
Is there more food than Mingzong’s and Zhuxing’s food?
I really want to go and have a look now. Tsk, she clearly had time two months ago, so why didn’t I hear Andy say that he would take her to Food Star to have a look?
If the entire planet is full of delicious food, she will definitely not come back. She will settle down there!
As soon as the space folding box was opened, the aroma of various delicacies wafted out. Baiguo took out the delicacies one by one, and even a table as big as the one at home could not hold them all.
There are desserts, pastries, snacks, rice, noodles, rice vermicelli and all kinds of snacks. There are even large plates of food that look like hot pot but not really like hot pot. Each food has a name on it. I can understand some of them, but I can't understand some of them at all.
It turned out that spending only two months on literacy training was totally insufficient. There are simply too many human characters!
"Peggy Peggy, how do you pronounce this? And how do you pronounce that? And this and this, they all look delicious!"
How could it not be delicious? At least the fragrance really filled the entire villa. Baiguo was so excited that he couldn't help but drool.
Pei Ji raised her eyelids and took a look, then numbly read the names of these delicacies, "Crab stew, pig's trotter stew, braised pork elbow, roasted lamb leg, honey-glazed chicken wings, dry pot spare ribs, roast duck, lotus cake, peach blossom cake..."
As Pei Ji was thinking about this, she suddenly felt hungry. Did Wen Ye bring all the delicacies from the entire Gourmet Planet here? How thoughtful, and also really cunning, knowing how to bribe a tree with broken branches and delicious food, haha!
So what if that’s the case? He’s still the one who spends the most time with Baiguo!
