Chapter 3



It was just an ordinary question, but it succeeded in making the store suddenly become dead silent, so quiet that only the sound of shallow breathing could be heard.

The three men and two women who were laughing and joking seemed to have become a group of frightened little animals. The moment he finished speaking, they all fell silent, turned their heads and stared at He Mo with five pairs of eyes wide open, their lips pursed and their eyes frightened without blinking.

There was silence for half a minute.

These idiots!

The tall girl was the first to come to her senses. She cursed inwardly in frustration, then forced a smile and laughed it off, trying to make the atmosphere less awkward. "We came in to ask because we heard about the high quality of seeds in this store. What a coincidence."

The others also came to their senses, smiled widely, and agreed firmly one by one.

"Yes, what a coincidence!"

"It's a total coincidence! Haha!"

The store seemed to have regained its previous cheerful atmosphere.

He Mo looked at them silently and said, "Sorry, I don't have any seeds of the seven-tailed flower. You can go away." It was obvious that he was ordering them to leave.

No matter what the purpose of this group of people was, they were just a group of tourists and he was in no mood to pay attention to them.

The tall girl seemed a little anxious. She trotted to He Mo with her long white legs and whispered awkwardly, "We really want the seeds of the seven-tailed flower. We can wait until you are willing to sell them to us, okay?" What she said was strange, but her expression was serious.

Although the Nanao flower is quite rare, it is still possible to buy it with a little effort. You don't have to buy it in his store. What made these tourists want to buy Nanao flower seeds from him?!

He Mo lowered his eyes. He just wanted to run the shop quietly and work hard to maintain the small shop opened by his grandfather. He didn't want to get involved with some inexplicable people or things.

His eyes were somewhat displeased, and He Mo's tone became a little colder: "I told you, this store hasn't opened yet, and we don't have any Nanao flower seeds for sale. Please leave."

Apparently, his unfriendly eyes had successfully scared away the girl who had mustered up the courage to approach him. After meeting his unfriendly gaze, the tall girl took two steps back in fear, her eyes timid.

When the others caught his eye, they all dodged and scattered, disappearing in the next second.

A gust of wind blew by, and the five people disappeared without a trace in an instant. He Mo: Haha!

With the addition of a bit of mental deterrence, it seems that his eyes are still very murderous.

After that, without any visitors, He Mo personally tidied up every corner of the shop. He threw away the withered flowers and plants, which were then processed by robots. Some flowers and plants could be upgraded and had a certain chance of survival, so He Mo put them aside. The remaining flowers and plants with good vitality were simply trimmed and placed back in the shop.

Finally, the shop returned to its orderly appearance. Although it is not as lush as when my grandfather was alive, my grandfather really treated these flowers and plants with care, and took care of them like his own children.

It was sunset when He Mo finished cleaning up the shop. He Mo bought some food from the supermarket and walked slowly on his way home.

There are two artificial suns, one in the east and one in the west, hanging on both sides. The soft halo of light is sprinkled on every inch of Shuiyang City. The breeze is so fresh that it feels so warm on the body that it makes people want to yawn and take a nap.

It was sunset, the afterglow turning fiery red, and the sky painted orange. Just looking at this scene made me feel very peaceful.

Mulan Star is a famous tourist planet and the capital of flowers and plants. The funny thing is that it is an artificial planet of flowers and plants because it does not meet the lighting conditions required by flowers and plants. Mulan Star is very far away from the sun, so the Federation spent a lot of money to build two artificial suns to simulate sunrise and sunset.

Because it's artificial, the temperature on Mulan Planet remains around 25 degrees Celsius year-round, dropping slightly to around 15 to 20 degrees Celsius at night. With the perfect temperature, refreshing breeze, pleasant fragrance, and abundant flowers and plants, the entire planet is as beautiful as a painting, instantly brightening even the most depressed person's mood.

But He Mo's good mood was soon broken!

This... What did he see!

How did this group of people find his house?! Or when did they start to notice him?!

The five people who appeared in the store during the day suddenly appeared at his door, holding hands and surrounding the Nanao flower wall. Their entire bodies were completely pressed against the flower wall, leaving no gaps at all, and it looked like they couldn't wait to squeeze in.

The five people didn't notice He Mo's arrival. They stood motionless under the flower wall with their eyes closed, their faces looking... intoxicated?!

He Mo walked closer and closer, but these guys didn't react at all, still reveling in their ecstasy. As he watched, He Mo realized something was wrong. These five people looked exactly like those guys.

He Mo had some guesses in his mind, and he had some understanding of their purpose.

When He Mo was very close to them, the five guys opened their eyes in panic. Seeing He Mo's expressionless face, their hearts skipped a beat and they immediately panicked and let go of their hands. They subconsciously huddled together and stood in a row, staring at He Mo as he got closer and closer, and their hearts became more and more uneasy.

Tatttatt.

Soft footsteps were getting closer.

"Sister, what should we do?" The only two girls were so nervous that they were about to cry, and their cute apple faces were flushed.

"Respond to ever-changing situations with constancy!" The tall girl acted very calmly, but in the next second, she suddenly turned into a little purple mink with wings.

The leader turned into his original form, and the rest of them couldn't help but turn into their original forms in an instant with a bang.

A little mink, a little fox, a little green snake, and two puppies.

"Strange beasts?" He Mo calmly looked at the little guys below who were rubbing Sangsang and whose fur was standing on end. He only knew that the power of the stars had a great attraction to monsters and spirit beasts, but he didn't expect that it was the same for strange beasts. Perhaps these five guys were seduced by the seven-tailed flower that absorbed the power of the stars.
