Chapter 169: As expected?
As soon as they entered the space, Chi Wan discovered that the vines wrapped around the two of them were rapidly withering and turning yellow.
But unlike the previous withered yellow, it looked like those green vines were losing their vitality to the gray-black vines on Li Xingye's body.
As the vines withered, the gray-black color that had almost climbed up Li Xingye's neck finally slowly faded away.
Chi Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and the fear that he had been suppressing finally came over him.
"You big idiot, why didn't you tell me? You could have told me at the beginning. What would you have done if I hadn't come?"
As Chi Wan spoke, she couldn't help but choke up and her tears rolled down, but were gently caught by a thin new vine.
Chi Wan didn't notice any of this, she just felt a little scared.
Thinking back after escaping the crisis, Li Xingye might have expected these people's attack, but it was hard to say about these gray-black vines.
Otherwise, why would Li Xingye allow himself to be in that state?
If she hadn't suddenly decided to look for Li Xingye, if she hadn't happened to meet him...
Just thinking about the possible consequences, Chi Wan felt heartbroken and couldn't stop crying.
Until a hand gently brushed across her face and wiped away her tears.
Li Xingye's voice was soft but a little helpless: "Wanwan, why are you here..."
Chi Wan felt the temperature on his face and was stunned at first, then became furious.
She punched Li Xingye on the shoulder, her face flushed with anger, and she didn't care about crying anymore: "You big idiot! Do you know... do you know..."
Do you know how scared she was just now? If she had come later, would she have seen Li Xingye's...
At this moment, Chi Wan had long forgotten what he had thought in his mind when he was forcing himself to remain calm, such as "Li Xingye will have a backup plan", and all that was left was the fear hidden behind the anger.
Li Xingye naturally knew what Chi Wan hadn't finished saying. His eyes were full of guilt. He gently held Chi Wan in his arms, buried his face in the crook of her neck, and said in a muffled voice: "I'm sorry, Wanwan, I just don't want to make you worry."
He thought Chi Wan had his own things to do today and would not be able to take care of him, but he did not expect that he would be seen by Chi Wan.
Looking up, Li Xingye's eyes were moist and soft, with that puppy apology expression that Chi Wan could not refuse.
He put his face close to Chi Wan and said flatteringly, "Wan Wan, I was wrong. If you are angry, just hit me twice more, okay? But after that, listen to my explanation."
Chi Wan curled her lips, pinched Li Xingye's cheeks with both hands and pulled them apart, saying angrily: "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise I will ignore you!"
Li Xingye obediently let Chi Wan vent his anger, and with a deformed face, he explained in a gentle voice: "Actually, I know they want to ambush, but I don't want them to threaten Xiaoliu's safety, especially since Shuguang is almost willing to do anything for the healing system.
"Sister Qianyu recently got some information from Bayi. These defensive equipments on them seem to be newly developed by Shuguang to target my abilities. You should have seen the specific effects. They are indeed very powerful.
"If they suddenly appeared when I was traveling with Xiaoliu, they might have succeeded if we were caught off guard. So I thought about giving them a chance and luring them out first.
"After all, they can't mass-produce such equipment. As long as I deal with this group of people, they will not be able to threaten Xiaoliu's safety."
Li Xingye carefully watched Chi Wan's expression and raised three fingers: "Wan Wan, I swear, I have absolutely no intention of taking risks intentionally. I cherish my life very much, especially after meeting you. I want to live longer than anyone else. At least, I want to live long enough to go to your world."
After hearing these words, Chi Wan lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Li Xingye breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the incident was over, when Chi Wan suddenly grabbed his ear and said through gritted teeth, "Li! Xing! Ye! You are getting more and more powerful now, aren't you? You have learned to evade the important issues, change the subject, deceive your superiors and subordinates, and are still complacent about it, aren't you!
"Am I talking about the people who attacked? Shouldn't you explain your powers first?!"
This zero-frame start almost confused Li Xingye.
The breath of relief he had just taken was instantly lifted up again, and he quickly explained while smoothing Chi Wan's hair: "No, no, I'll explain it right away! Wan Wan, don't be angry. In fact, I was also testing my ability and the so-called perfect sequence."
Chi Wanren Li Xingye held her hand in his palm and snorted: "What do you mean? So you did it on purpose?"
Li Xingye shook his head: "Didn't Sister Qianyu and the others communicate a lot with the scientists over there recently? They are also very interested in the formation and nature of superpowers. Especially why the energy of the crystal core can act on superpowers without hindrance, and even promote the upgrade of superpowers."
Chi Wan frowned: "So you mean, you want to test the connection between the superpowers and the crystal core? But what does this have to do with you putting yourself in danger... Wait, do you mean, your father?!"
She suddenly remembered what the attackers had just said, about the sequence of leaders.
What kind of person's sequence has a restraining effect on Li Xingye?
Chi Wan couldn't think of any other answer except Li Xingye's biological father.
Li Xingye looked at Chi Wan approvingly: "Our Wan Wan is so smart!"
Chi Wan rolled his eyes: "Don't give me that! Are you suspecting that in this timeline, the leader of Dawn has become your father? But that shouldn't be the case. Didn't Ding Yao say that in the future he saw, your father became the Zombie King, and the leader of Dawn is clearly a psychic..."
Li Xingye's smile faded a little: "But everything has changed, hasn't it?"
Ever since he met Chi Wan and changed his fate of death, the timeline has become unrecognizable.
He held Chi Wan on his lap and gently stroked her hair with his hand: "I just realized this recently. Li Mingyu has not appeared because he did not get the sequence in me, so he naturally cannot become a zombie king. But I am wondering, what else will Ding Yao's rebirth change.
"But what is certain is that in the endings that Ding Yao saw, the connection between the leader of Shuguang and Li Mingyu was very deep. However, even though he saw so many endings, he still didn't see the leader of Shuguang, which in itself is a very strange thing.
"Especially, the group of people in Shuguang were originally colleagues in Li Mingyu's laboratory... and Li Mingyu's own genes are indeed the closest to mine."
