Jinchu felt that he was getting hot again, so he quickly restrained himself.
Ye Ruisheng recalled his own doubts and recounted the reactions of the birds and beasts to Jinchu. "They've benefited greatly from that mysterious power, either growing larger or becoming more powerful. Even I, after sitting there for a few hours, have completely recovered my lost strength. Is it because of you?"
"Huh? I don't know." Jin Chu was also a little confused. He thought for a moment, "I do have some influence on plants and animals. Long ago, I was the only one on Little Flower Star. I was very lonely, so I found cute and attractive little animals and plants, talked to them, and gave them energy. They often grew better and faster than others, but the effects never appeared in just a few hours."
In fact, those impacts last for decades or even centuries.
When Jinchu was more than two hundred years old, he could pull out of the soil and run around the mountains before he transformed into a human form. At that time, he was closer to plants and wanted to find small flowers and grasses that could run and jump like him, but he couldn't find any after searching everywhere. So he talked to those beautiful flowers and gave them energy, hoping that they could play with him sooner.
But gradually, he found that plants grew too slowly and were too fragile. Flowers and plants were always easy to wither and die. Even trees that were stronger than him could easily die if they were struck by lightning, flooded, eaten by animals, infested with insects, or frozen. Sometimes they would catch fire inexplicably, and then the entire jungle would burn up.
Even if you have high hopes for them and often give them energy to help them thrive, they may not necessarily grow up well. Gradually, Jinchu likes playing with animals more.
Small animals can run, jump and make noises. They are much more lively and lovely than plants that are quiet and cannot move. They also grow fast. Jinchu likes them and sometimes helps them hunt. He helps them with treatment when they are injured and tries his best to extend their lifespan when they are old.
For many years, Jinchu watched his favorite animals grow up, reproduce, grow old, and die, and then their offspring grew up and grew old.
Death and separation are always sad, and there is not much Jinchu can do except to take better care of their offspring.
This went on generation after generation, over hundreds of years, as the newly born animals grew stronger, smarter, and longer-lived. They went from being able to clearly understand what he meant, to being able to communicate with him in simple terms, to chattering to him every day, like chatterboxes.
In the past hundred years, there have been more and more such animals and plants. They were initially called exotic beasts and exotic plants, with the former being more common and the latter being less common.
Jin Chu had never thought carefully about his influence on them. The years were too long and thinking seemed meaningless. Now he was awakened by Ye Ruisheng. After thinking about the past, he seemed to understand something.
In recent years, he has not taken the initiative to infuse energy into animals and plants, but those exotic beasts and plants that are close to him and get along well with him are indeed smarter and stronger, and exotic beasts and plants are more likely to appear on his Little Flower Mountain.
Little Meow Meow's family, the big white bird family, and others all came from Xiaohua Mountain, including the big tree that he particularly envied for its fertility and blessings. It was originally an ordinary tree on Xiaohua Mountain, but later it became intelligent and asked Jinchu for help to find a new place for it to reproduce.
Jin Chu felt a little impressed with himself. Was he really that capable?
"Meow." The orange cat lying lazily on Jin Chu's legs called out, telling Jin Chu that there was indeed a lot of energy emitted from his surroundings just now, much more than when he absorbed the moonlight before. It liked it very much and felt very comfortable. After this night, it felt that it had grown up a little bit.
Jin Chu was speechless: "You are still growing, you are bigger than your parents."
After hearing Jin Chu's words, Ye Ruisheng knew that his guess was correct.
He said solemnly: "If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would be able to fully recover. How can I thank you?"
Jinchu was a little embarrassed: "It's nothing!"
Ye Ruisheng touched his head, and then found that he blushed again. Ye Ruisheng smiled and said, "You like to eat meat, I will cook it for you."
"Okay, okay, then shall we go back now?" Jin Chu's eyes lit up when he heard about eating meat.
"No need to go back, we can do it outside." Ye Ruisheng took his hand and said, "Come with me."
Jinchu held Guoguo in one hand and was led by him with the other hand, and a cat followed slowly behind them.
They came to the place where Ye Ruisheng's aircraft crashed. The aircraft crashed because of a temporary failure of the flight system and was not damaged. Ye Ruisheng restarted it and it could be used again. He took out some small bottles from the cabinet and caught a few fat rabbits and a little porcupine.
So they lit a fire and grilled meat for Jinchu.
He moved very skillfully, bleeding, skinning, and gutting the rabbit. He skewered a fat rabbit on a tree branch and roasted it while basting it with oil and sprinkling seasonings. When the outermost layer was cooked, he used a knife to slice the meat into thin slices and gave them to Jinchu.
Jin Chu watched him eagerly. He peeled a slice, and Jin Chu ate a piece. It was so fragrant and delicious. He even roasted a rabbit leg himself, smelling it as he roasted it, and imitating Ye Ruisheng's way of applying oil and seasoning, which he found particularly interesting.
"Is it tasty?"
"tasty!"
Jin Chu said with a smile: "I saw those small survival teams also barbecued, but none of theirs tasted as good as yours."
"Have you ever eaten theirs?"
"No, I smelled it."
Ye Ruisheng smiled and said, "When I first joined the army, I often went on missions to remote areas. The rear supplies were not very timely, and the food I ate was all nutritional supplements, and they were always not enough. I was growing up, so I was always hungry. I had to make food for myself. Over time, I honed my skills. But I just grill it casually. If you like it, I can find a master to teach me how to make it. I think it will taste better."
"It's good like this now." Jin Chu said vaguely while biting the meat, "You were so miserable when you were a child."
"It's not that bad. We are all like this. We come from humble backgrounds and don't have any background, so it's inevitable that we will have a harder time."
"Oh..." Jinchu thought for a moment and asked, "But doesn't it mean that after you joined the army, you were promoted quickly because of your high talent?"
"Have you read those reports too?" Ye Ruisheng looked at him with a smile. Jin Chu felt a little embarrassed, as if he had been caught peeping into other people's stories.
"Of course the report had to be written in a more colorful way, especially after I became famous. In fact, the situation in the Imperial Army is very complicated."
Ye Ruisheng sliced the tenderest meat from the little porcupine and strung it onto skewers for grilling. "There was one man who enlisted a few years before me. He was also very talented and an AB type Evolved. As soon as he joined, he was immediately offered olive branches by various legions. The group army also wanted to recruit him. After much deliberation, he joined one of them, but guess what happened?"
Jinchu was attracted: "What's wrong?"
"The struggle between the armies was the most intense. The other armies certainly couldn't stand by and watch their opponents gain such a talented individual. So they tampered with that person's mission, and he didn't return alive from that mission."
"ah!"
"Even though I'm an AB type evolved human, I wasn't born A- or S-rank. I need to go through constant training and growth. If I'm not careful, I could die young." Ye Ruisheng said, "I was only a teenager when I joined the army and didn't have enough self-protection skills, so I hid my talent."
Jinchu immediately gave him a thumbs up: "You are so smart!"
Ye Ruisheng smiled and held out the skewers in his hand. "I added chili powder. Try it and see if it's tasty enough. If not, I'll add more."
Jin Chu didn't think much about it. He leaned over, held Ye Ruisheng's hand and took a bite. It was so hot that he hissed. Some chili powder got on the corner of his mouth. Ye Ruisheng reached out and wiped it off for him.
His fingers were warm. Jin Chu felt awkward for a moment and asked, "What happened next?"
"Later, I formed my own team, from a small squad to an entire legion. There were people who plotted against me, but I managed to dodge them all."
Jin Chu: "It must be very difficult. I heard that you have encountered many assassinations and dangers." He patted Ye Ruisheng's shoulder and said, "It's okay. I will protect you from now on!"
Ye Ruisheng smiled and said, "Then I'll rely on you. Will you keep your word?"
He was already handsome, and his smile in the firelight was simply unbearable.
Jin Chu was stunned for a moment: "Of course." Hey, do you have to smile so beautifully? Don't you know that people who are obsessed with looks can't stand this?
The fruit in his arms suddenly jumped, and Jin Chu looked down: "What are you doing?"
Guozi jumped higher, and Ye Ruisheng asked, "What's wrong with it?"
Jinchu said hesitantly, "It seems to be saying that it wants to eat meat, too."
Ye Ruisheng looked at the round fruit and asked, "How do you eat it?"
Jinchu thought so too and said to Guoguo, "How can you eat it? You don't have a mouth."
"Oh, oh, oh." Guozi rubbed against his arms and acted coquettishly.
It's no wonder that Jin Chu is unreliable. He thought about it, and in the mood for fun, he tore a small piece of meat from the skewer in Ye Ruisheng's hand and stuck it on the green peel of the fruit: "Alright, eat it."
Ye Ruisheng watched his actions speechlessly, but the next moment he was shocked. He saw that the piece of meat slowly melted after it was attached to the fruit, and was absorbed into the peel bit by bit. It disappeared in a moment, without even a trace of oil left.
Ye Ruisheng: "..."
Jinchu: “…”
They looked at each other in astonishment, Jinchu still had his mouth open, and then they both looked at Guozi.
Ye Ruisheng: "Is this okay?"
Jinchu said blankly: "I don't know."
The fruit suddenly flew up, moving around in the air, making a "hissing" sound, and its green skin suddenly turned red. Jin Chu was even more confused. Was it because he ate too happily?
It was Ye Ruisheng who reacted first. He grabbed the fruit and put it in the bucket of clean water next to him.
As soon as the fruit went in, the water began to smoke, then the water level decreased with a gurgling sound, and finally a fruit lay at the bottom of the bucket, swaying slightly and looking like it was dying.
Jinchu leaned over the bucket and asked, "What happened?"
Ye Ruisheng said calmly: "It must be because it's spicy."
