1083 Growing Teeth

The others didn't understand the glance that Lin Qiao gave Wu Chengyue before leaving, but Wu Chengyue did. Receiving that glance, he narrowed his eyes into a pair of curved lines with a big smile. Seeing that smile on his face, everyone else except for Shen Yujen, who was married, and Nine who was all about food, was jealous of him.

He looked like a househusband whose wife just left home for work!

After Lin Qiao left, Teng sat up from the bed and rubbed his eyes as he confusedly glanced at the door. He sensed his mother's vibe earlier, but it was gone now.

He turned and pushed Wu Yueling to wake her up, "Ling Ling, get up. Breakfast is ready!"

Wu Yueling sat up and rubbed her eyes, looking at Teng drowsily. The latter immediately pushed her again and said, "Get off the bed and get dressed. We're going out."

Wu Yueling dozily got off the bed and put on her shoes, then found her clothes and put them on.

By the time Wu Chengyue came in, the two kids had gotten dressed already.

"You guys are awake. Go brush your teeth and then we can have breakfast," he walked over and scooped Teng up as he said to Ling Ling. After that, he brought the kids to the basin for them to brush their teeth and wash their faces.

"Where's Mama? Did Mama just leave?" Teng abruptly asked.

"Em, she just left. There's something that she needs to do. She might be away for two weeks. After breakfast, I'll take you back to Sea City Base. We'll come back here when she's back," Wu Chengyue smilingly nodded at Teng, then wiped his face with the warm towel that he prepared and let him rinse his mouth.

Meanwhile, he handed Wu Yueling the toothbrush with toothpaste on and let the girl brush her own teeth.

"I think I sensed her vibe last night. Has Mama upgraded?" Teng held Wu Chengyue's neck and asked.

Wu Chengyue nodded and said, "Yes. Did you sense that? Her vibe came out last night, but only faintly."

Teng held the warm towel with his little hands to wipe his face, wiping from side to side and then rubbing his eyes. After that, he dropped the towel and responded, "Oh, I can feel it because there's a special connection between Mama and me. Even though she was in the space, I still felt her. Besides, she was close to me last night."

Even if Lin Qiao was a thousand miles away from him, he would still be able to sense her. He wasn't bragging; it was true.

Wu Chengyue smiled at him and said, "Is it because she's your mother? How strongly can you sense me?"

Teng looked at him as he rolled his sparkling eyes and then answered, "The connection between you and me is weaker than that between Mama and me by at least seventy percent."

"I guess I'm not very important to you…" Wu Chengyue sighed as he wore a sad face.

Teng rolled his eyes and said, "Daddy, stop pretending! You are much more important to me than you are to Mama."

Wu Chengyue gave him a mysterious smile as he handed him a cup of water and said, "You don't know. Maybe I'm as important to her as I am to you."

Teng let out his tongue and said, "You are quite confident!"

After saying that, he poured some water into his mouth to rinse, then tilted his head to let out the water. Next, he licked his itchy gum and said, "Daddy, I think my teeth are growing out."

"So soon?" Wu Chengyue looked at him with surprise.

The boy was only a month and a few days old. How come he was already teething?

Teng nodded and said, "My gum is itchy. Also, I've been having a lot of saliva recently. Pah…"

Wu Chengyue was speechless.

At that time, Ling Ling also rinsed her mouth and then looked at Teng happily.

Teng thought for a moment, then turned to Wu Chengyue and said, "Hm, I remember that Mama ran out of nuclei. Where did she get the energy to break into level-eight? Daddy, did you give her your nuclei?"

Wu Chengyue smiled, "You know that too?"

Teng looked at Wu Chengyue up and down and said, "I think Mama needed a large amount of energy this time. That would be three level-seven nuclei at least. How many did you give her? Did you give her everything you had? Oh… Mama accepted them… This is too much… Let me think."

After saying that, he looked at Wu Chengyue from head to toe again.

The boy's reaction was so weird. Shouldn't he be purely happy? Why was he thinking so much?

"You're just a kid. You shouldn't think so much. Okay, you're clean. Let's go for breakfast," Wu Chengyue rubbed the boy's round head and carried him out of the bathroom with a smile.

"Don't always rub my head. What if my hair can't grow out? Do you want me to be bald?" Teng angrily slapped off his hand and complained.

"Hehe… Alright, I won't rub your head again," Wu Chengyue couldn't help but laugh. He rarely laughed, even though he was always smiling.

…

Shen Yujen parted with Lin Qiao after leaving the neighborhood. Instead of heading to the base gate together with Lin Qiao, she brought the file folder to Yuan Tianxing's office.

At the base gate, Qiu Lili and Lin Kui were already there waiting for Lin Qiao.

"Are you really not gonna let me come with you? It's so boring staying in the base," Qiu Lili stood by Lin Kui's side as she looked at Lin Qiao and said with a sweet voice.

Lin Qiao said to her smilingly, "You need to guard the base. What if something bad happened here while we're both gone? You're the second most powerful being in our base."

Qiu Lili dropped her head and kicked a stone near her foot.

At that moment, Lin Kui raised a hand and flipped a ponytail of hers behind her body, then said, "Don't worry. We'll come back soon."

He knew that the girl wanted to go not because it was boring in the base, but because she wanted to be with him.

Lin Qiao noticed his small movement and the distance between him and Qiu Lili. She blinked and then smiled, "Yeah, we'll soon be back. Finishing off Li Zhengye won't be so troublesome."

The troublesome one was that mysterious man.

"It's because you're so powerful now! I don't even know when I can feel the opportunity of upgrading…" Qiu Lili raised her head and glanced at Lin Qiao, then dropped her head again with disappointment.

Lin Qiao was even weaker than her when she first met her! It had been only a year, but Lin Qiao was already a level higher than her. Currently, Lin Qiao was at a whole new level.

If Lin Qiao attacked her now, she wouldn't be able to do anything but shake. Back when Mo Yan first showed up, he didn't target her, but she still felt a very strong pressure from him. His vibe suppressed her and Yun Meng completely.

That was the difference between zombie emperors and zombie dominators

Lin Qiao had restrained her vibe entirely as she was facing Qiu Lili and Lin Kui peacefully, but the oppressive vibe from her still emerged from their hearts.

"Be patient! The opportunity will come at the right time. I'll let you two go hunting when I'm back."

After saying that, she glanced at Qiu Lili in a meaningful way, then at Lin Kui. She didn't say anything, but gave both of them a smile.
