According to the address, he came to where his parents were. It turned out that they had come to Qian Yang and were hunting Direbeasts there.
They had not seen each other for nearly a month, and their strength had increased by leaps and bounds. Mom had become a Level 5 Arcanist, and Dad had successfully broken through to the Level 4 realm.
The rate of progress was simply amazing, even faster than when Ling Jiu had just awakened.
But this was normal. Ling Jiu's conditions at that time were much tougher. He did not have any low-level Gene Arcana secret techniques or treasures of heaven and earth. Of course, his speed was slow.
At this moment, his parents were resting next to the Qianyang Reservoir. They were grilling beast legs and drinking tea. They seemed to be having a good time.
Celeste was lying on the side eating the nutritious jerky like a dog following its owner. No one would have thought that Celeste was a ninth-order beast emperor.
Ling Jiu was not in a hurry to show up. Instead, he quietly replicated and integrated Celeste's ability to shrink any object. He shrunk himself to a normal size before coming out to meet them.
"Dad, Mom, you're very comfortable now!"
Ling Jiu teased.
"The future generations plant trees, the predecessors enjoy the shade!"
Ling Tianci laughed heartily. "With you, Optimus Prime, at home, your mother and I don't have any pressure at all. We just need to get by!"
"You still have the cheek to say that? Shameless!"
Yang Su rolled her eyes at him.
"Although it feels a little shameless to eat and drink from my son, who asked me to have such a capable son?"
Ling Tianci didn't mind it at all. He had completely accepted it. His wife ran away in the past, and he wanted to make a name for himself.
Now that his wife was back, his family was reunited, and his three children were all very promising, he felt that his life was completely complete. Therefore, he no longer had the motivation to work hard. He just wanted to quietly accompany his wife and be a salted fish without dreams.
Make money?
To hell with it!
Seeing his dad like this, Ling Jiu shook his head and said nothing.
As long as his parents were happy, it was fine. Anyway, with his ability to earn money, it was a piece of cake to support them. Therefore, they could live however they wanted, as long as they were happy.
Ling Jiu spent the afternoon with the two before returning to Mars. Unexpectedly, there were several missed calls the moment he arrived on Mars.
They were all Bai Ya's.
"What happened this time?"
He dialed Bai Ya's number.
"Bai Ya?"
"Are you back on Mars?" Bai Ya asked.
"I just came back. What's wrong?"
Ling Jiu asked in confusion.
"Ling Jiu, our forest has been destroyed!"
Her voice was calm, but Ling Jiu could hear a slight tremble in it. Was that anger? Aggrieved? Or … sadness?
Ling Jiu could not tell, but he could imagine how Bai Ya was feeling at the moment.
Forest …
It was Bai Ya's lifeblood!
"Wait for me!"
Ling Jiu hung up the phone. He then sensed the dimensional mark and returned to the woods.
The hundred-meter-tall wall had several holes in it. Looking at the forest …
The forest had been destroyed beyond recognition. There were large pits everywhere, and saplings were lying all over the place … It was a complete mess.
"Damn it!"
Ling Jiu was furious. He could not tolerate the fact that the tree he had painstakingly planted for a month had been destroyed like this.
At this moment, Bai Ya stood on the side, staring blankly at the destroyed forest. Her eyes were dull, like a piece of wood, and there was blood at the corner of her mouth. She must have been injured in the battle with the monsters.
"Are you okay?"
Ling Jiu asked softly.
"I'm fine!"
Bai Ya's voice was calm, but her eyes were red. Ling Jiu did not know whether it was anger, anger, or sadness.
Ling Jiu could understand her feelings. In order to plant the Arcana tree, she had worked hard from dawn to dusk. It could be said that the Arcana tree was her hope!
In the end …
"Don't be sad!"
Ling Jiu walked over and said softly, "The tree can be planted again. As long as you are okay!"
"Wahhh!"
Bai Ya suddenly threw herself into Ling Jiu's arms and burst into tears. It seemed that she wanted to vent all her grievances, anger, and sadness.
Ling Jiu froze. This was the first time he had seen Bai Ya like this. Bai Ya had always been a stubborn and cold woman. He did not expect that today …
It could be seen that the destruction of the forest was a big blow to her.
"Cry if you want to."
Ling Jiu sighed and gently hugged her waist.
"Sob sob sob …"
After crying for a while, Bai Ya calmed down. She pushed Ling Jiu away, turned, and ran to the side.
"Are you okay now?"
Ling Jiu asked with a smile.
"Don't tell anyone about what happened just now. Otherwise … otherwise …"
Bai Ya seemed to feel embarrassed. Her hands were tightly intertwined as she shouted with her back facing Ling Jiu.
"Otherwise what will you do?"
Ling Jiu approached her step by step.
"Otherwise … otherwise …"
Before Bai Ya could finish her words, Ling Jiu suddenly sneaked up on her from behind, grabbed her, and kissed her hard on the lips.
"What are you doing?"
Bai Ya was startled and struggled frantically.
"Since the cold fairy has descended, then stay in the mortal world forever!"
Ling Jiu kissed Bai Ya fiercely. Because of the Venom Suit, Ling Jiu did not feel satisfied. He carried her into the airship, took off the Venom Suit, and then launched a fierce attack.
"What are you doing? Don't touch me! "
Bai Ya struggled desperately.
Ling Jiu just could not stop.
Little by little …
...
After a long time …
The two slumped on the sofa. Bai Ya hugged Ling Jiu tightly, her face pressed tightly against Ling Jiu's chest. Her little face was red and flushed.
"Are you okay now?"
Ling Jiu touched her little face.
"You … you bullied me!"
Bai Ya's face was as red as a monkey's butt.
"I have wanted to bully you for a long time."
Ling Jiu chuckled. "Who told you to put on a sour face all day?"
"You are the one with a sour face. Shameless!"
"Hahaha, if I am shameless, how can I win a beauty's heart?"
Ling Jiu chuckled. "From now on, you are my woman!"
"Who is your woman?"
Bai Ya looked up and glared at Ling Jiu fiercely. However, she was defeated by Ling Jiu's smiling eyes. She said in a soft voice, "You didn't even chase me …"
"Chase what? We have been alone in the same room for so long. Who else can you marry other than me?"
"Nonsense! We are just living in an airship and doing nothing! "
"Who would believe that? Anyway, as far as I know, everyone in the matriculation camp knows that we have been sleeping together for a long time! "
"…"
After the two messed around for a while, Bai Ya returned to her cold demeanor. But Ling Jiu knew that the relationship between the two had changed dramatically.
The fairy … had finally descended to the mortal world and could no longer go back to heaven.
"The forest has been destroyed!"
Bai Ya went outside and looked at the devastated sandy ground. Sadness and anger appeared on her face again. "Damn monsters!"
"It's okay! The forest will grow quickly! "
Ling Jiu comforted her with a smile and then put his arm around Bai Ya's shoulder. Bai Ya stiffened slightly but did not struggle.
"Let's plant a forest together from now on?" Ling Jiu said softly.
"…"
Bai Ya was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "This is not fair to you! You can plant trees much faster than me … "
"I don't mind!"
Ling Jiu smiled and shook his head. "Let's go!"
"To where?"
Bai Ya was taken aback.
"You destroyed my things and still want to escape?" Ling Jiu sneered, a fierce look flashing in his eyes. "There is no such thing in this world!"
"You want to seek revenge from the monsters?"
Bai Ya was stunned.
"Yes!"
Ling Jiu nodded slightly and then followed the traces left by the monsters.
After a while, the two came to the nearest Wormhole 51.
"Sure enough, it came out from here!"
Ling Jiu's eyes narrowed slightly. "Wait here, Bai Ya. I'll go over and have a look!"
"No!"
Bai Ya quickly shook her head. "You know nothing about the world on the other side of the wormhole. If it's dangerous, won't you …"
"Don't worry! I have Dimensional Arcana, no one can do anything to me! "
Ling Jiu smiled. "Besides, it's not like no one has entered Wormhole 51!"
"Ugh …"
Bai Ya was stunned. "Someone has entered Wormhole 51?"
"Yes!"
Ling Jiu nodded slightly. "Niu Ben told me that the world on the other side of Wormhole 51 is indeed dangerous, but a trainee has gone in before.
It is said that he has been in the matriculation camp for less than two years, but his points quickly exceeded one million and he successfully left.
It is said that the reason why his points increased so fast is that he often enters the wormhole and hunts the monsters on the other side. "
"I see!"
Bai Ya suddenly understood and immediately asked eagerly. "Can you take me there?"
"No problem!"
Ling Jiu agreed with a smile. "But you have to listen to me!"
"Okay!"
Ling Jiu took a deep breath and then led Bai Ya into the wormhole. After traveling all the way, they finally came to the world on the other side of the wormhole.
It was a yellow world.
But unlike the orange-yellow of Venus, it was light yellow here.
The light yellow sky was covered with dark clouds, and the air exuded an extremely pungent gas. If Ling Jiu took off his Venom Suit, he would definitely be able to smell it. It was the smell of rotten eggs everywhere.
Or rather, it was the smell of farts.
Obviously, the atmosphere of this planet was full of hydrogen sulfide gas.
The ground was dry and cracked light yellow, not the color of the Martian desert, but more like barren yellow soil. At a glance, there were exposed rock formations and light yellow stones everywhere.
"Another barren world."
Ling Jiu could not help but shake his head. "I really don't know how such a barren world can breed such a huge monster."
"The mysteries of the universe are unpredictable. We can't judge the universe by the way life exists on Earth. There must be a reason why life can be born here."
Bai Ya said relatively objectively.
"You have a point."
Ling Jiu nodded slightly.
Although this planet was barren, at least it was not as hot as Venus. So as long as they wore the Venom Suit, they could survive.
This was a good sign.
"Ling Jiu, look over there!"
Bai Ya suddenly said.
Ling Jiu looked in the direction Bai Ya was pointing and saw one big pit after another on the ground. Ling Jiu was all too familiar with this. It was the footprints left by the monsters.
"Let's see where you can run now." Ling Jiu said. "Let's go after them."
They followed all the way and soon came to a huge mountain. But when they saw the scene in front of the mountain, the two were stunned.
Arcana trees.
There were Arcana trees everywhere.
To be precise, it was an Arcana forest.
"Someone planted Arcana trees here?"
Bai Ya looked at Ling Jiu with a flash of understanding in her eyes. "Could it be that the real purpose of those monsters' invasion is to snatch the Arcana trees?"
"Very likely."
Ling Jiu nodded slowly. The Arcana trees here had been planted for some time. All the Arcana trees not only survived but also grew very tall.
This was not something that could be planted in a day or two.
"Who planted them? The monsters? "
"Try and you will know."
