Lin Qiao lowered her head and looked at Viney as she asked with confusion, "What man? Why do I need to find a man? Tell me why first."
Viney responded with, 'Em, em, just a man you like, eh… He'll also be helping Viney with the upgrade. Mama has to do it with a person of the opposite gender… Or mama, you can also find someone you don't like… That'll also work…'
For some reason, Lin Qiao got a bad feeling from Viney's words.
"Are you saying that this time, I need to find a man and get into the lake together with him?"
'Yes, yes!' Viney responded.
"Then?" Lin Qiao asked further.
'Then? What then?' Viney didn't understand.
"After two of us get into the lake, how will we help you with the upgrade?" Lin Qiao said.
'That I don't know for sure… I'll know what to do by then…' Viney didn't give her a specific answer.
It was really strange for Lin Qiao. Why did she need to find a man and bring him into the space? Would she and that man be going down into the water and then facing each other naked?
'Ugh, this is really not good. What is Viney planning to do?' she wondered.
'Mama, Viney wants to see the little one! Please bring her in to play with me…'
Viney really wanted Lin Qiao to bring Wu Yueling into the space to play at the moment, and didn't seem to care about other things. Lin Qiao looked at the weird-looking Viney and said, "You've become like this. Will you scare the little one?"
Viney swayed the vines on her head and responded, "No, no, I told her last time that I'll transform…'
Lin Qiao looked at Viney speechlessly. She didn't know that Viney had told Wu Yueling about that the last time.
"Alright, wait here then," Lin Qiao carried Viney to a small space and put her on a couch, then prepared to go out to bring Wu Yueling in. Before exiting the space, she abruptly paused, then said, "Eh, are you cold? Do you need to cover yourself with a cloth?"
Viney sat on the couch, swinging her vines and roots while answering the question, "I'm not cold."
"Alright then, wait here." After that, Lin Qiao stood up and turned to exit the space.
As she came out of her space, the others all turned toward her. Then, those people saw that she carried Wu Yueling and the gray rabbit which was in the little girl's arms, and disappeared again.
"What happened to her?" asked Du Yuanxing.
Yuan Tianxing shook his head and said, "How am I supposed to know?"
"Eh, she brought the little princess into her space," said Du Yuanxing, "What should we do if Chief Wu come here later to pick up the little girl?"
Yuan Tianxing glanced at him and laughed, "What do you want to do? Just tell him that his daughter was brought into Miss. Lu's space."
"Alright," said Du Yuanxing.
Long Qingying also gave him a glance, then said, "Why are you over thinking? Miss. Lu won't hurt the little princess. What are you worrying about?" She wondered why didn't she find that Du Yuanxing was a little silly sometimes. He was pretty normal to her when they carried the last mission together.
Lin Qiao brought Wu Yueling into her space, put her on the couch, then pointed at Viney and asked her, "Do you still know her?"
Wu Yueling was used to being taken in and out of Lin Qiao's space. After being brought in, she naturally turned to the lakeside; but after hearing Lin Qiao's question, she turned around to look at Viney who was staring at her with a pair of large, sparkling eyes.
Seeing Viney, her eyes glowed immediately. Then, she hurriedly slid off the couch and walked toward it.
Viney sat still, swaying her root legs. As Wu Yueling got close enough, she put her vines on the little one's hands. Then, the two little things looked at each other smilingly.
Wu Yueling rarely had expressions on her face. But now, Lin Qiao found that the look on her face had been making quite some changes, like that of normal people. It was especially so when she was by herself, or with Viney or the gray rabbit.
With Lin Qiao, Viney or the gray rabbit, Wu Yueling always radiated happy feelings.
Lin Qiao knew that Wu Yueling liked Viney a lot, because she had already noticed the smile which was shown unwittingly on the corners of the girl's mouth. She wondered if Wu Yueling had noticed that herself.
"Little one, when will you talk to us?" she asked.
She felt that Wu Yueling's autistic symptoms had already decreased a lot. However, she didn't know if she felt that way because the kid had accepted her and Viney.
The little one turned back to look at Lin Qiao and slightly opened her mouth. However, she didn't utter any sound, but turned around and continued playing with Viney.
Viney pulled her onto the couch with her vines, then made the girl sit beside her. After that, the two little things seemed to have started a discussion.
Lin Qiao sat beside them and felt that they were discussing something really important.
The gray rabbit seemed to have sensed that no one would play with it. It was quite familiar with the environment and the vibe of this place, so it quickly hopped away from the little one toward the strawberry field.
It had been eating cabbages for days. Now, it desperately wanted some vegetables from this space, because the vegetables outside tasted awful!
Lin Qiao had no idea that the two little things were now talking about…
Viney, 'I'm going to find Mama a man.'
Wu Yueling, 'I'm going to find my Daddy a wife…'
Viney looked at Wu Yueling with surprise and asked, 'Eh? What do you think about my Mama then? Do you like her?'
Wu Yueling nodded and responded a little uncertainly, 'Zombie sister is so nice… I like her, I like her… But I don't know if Daddy likes her too…'
Viney narrowed her watery green eyes and said, 'Bring your Daddy here and let me see him… I'll make him like my Mama, hehe…' While speaking, Viney suddenly began chuckling wickedly.
Wu Yueling looked at her confusedly with a pair of bright black eyes, saying, 'Really? How to make Daddy like Zombie Sister?'
Viney told her, 'You'll be calling her Mama in the future. I have my way of doing that.'
Wu Yueling looked at Viney with doubts, then slowly nodded.
Lin Qiao didn't know that not long after she brought Wu Yueling in, she was sold to the girl by Viney. On the other side, Wu Chengyue, who had been chasing Yang Chao with Xiao Yunlong,, had no idea that he was already sold to a slightly cunning little vine plant either.
At that time, he and Xiao Yunlong had followed Yang Chao to the outskirts of the base from the base center.
After the transformation, Yang Chao had become really fast. Also, he only chose crowded or narrow places to go to, so Wu Chengyue and Xiao Yunlong's attacks were highly limited.
"Roar… Haha… Come on, blow this entire building off if you dare… If you can't, what can you possibly do to me?" Yang Chao crawled into a residential building while laughing at Wu Chengyue and Xiao Yunlong.
Soon, a series of screams from frightened people were heard from the building, and then, the screams turned into howls.
