386 The One Who Was Being Used

Yang Jianhua's handsome face wore a faint, fawning smile. "I almost had them," he said, "but Yuan Tianxing suddenly showed up. I couldn't kill all those people as he was there."

Long Yubai pulled Yang Jianhua's arm away, then took a step back to turn and walk toward his desk. Yang Jianhua was slightly displeased, but didn't show his feelings. Instead, he turned and followed behind the other.

"So, you were gone for so long, but returned with empty hands? Did you come back alone? Have you abandoned the ten vehicles that I gave you?" Long Yubai asked him while walking.

Yang Jianhua walked up behind him and abruptly reached out to drag him before he was sitting into his chair. While pulling him backward, he said with some discontent, "Do you only care whether those people have died or not? And your vehicles? What about me?"

Long Yubai wasn't as tall and strong as Yang Jianhua, so he fell straight into the latter's arms when he pulled him. And then, Yang Jianhua again put his arms around him.

Hearing Yang Jianhua's words, he sighed, "We spent quite some efforts to arm those vehicles. I gave them to you, but you left them out there. You failed to kill those people, which is okay, because they can't possibly make any troubles now."

"As long as you know that," said Yang Jianhua to him. "It's my bad to lose those cars. I had no other choice. I met someone stronger than me, so I could only save my own life first. The mission wouldn't have failed if I could upgrade to level-seven."

Long Yubai put his head before Yang Jianhua's chest and slightly lowered it. From Yang Jianhua's angle, only his dropping eyelashes were seen, but not the displeased look on his eyes.

Then, he raised his head and looked at Yang Jianhua with a pair of watery eyes, saying, "Jianhua, as I've said, I'll give you that level-six zombie nucleus as long as you go back to the Earth Dragon Base with me, so you can step straight into level-seven. But, you just wouldn't go back with me. What are you staying here for?"

Yang Jianhua looked at those eyes and his delicate face. His eyes soon landed on Long Yubai's lips, and then his throat somehow became dry.

He lowered his head to kiss Long Yubai's lips.

His wet and slippery tongue eagerly swept across Long Yubai's lips, then forced open his teeth, intruding his mouth and stirring aggressively.

Long Yubai slightly narrowed his eyes, letting Yang Jianhua's tongue churn in his mouth. He put both hands on Yang Jianhua's strong chest and stroked it slowly and gently before putting his arms around the other's neck.

The passionate kiss lasted for quite a while before their lips parted.

Yang Jianhua breathed heavily as he pressed his crotch area tightly against Long Yubai's body.

Long Yubai raised his slightly misty eyes and looked at Yang Jianhua as he said, "Since you've returned, just come to the Earth Dragon Base with me."

Yang Jianhua spent a moment to catch his breath, then responded, "Haven't you agreed to give me the Hades Base? Why do you still want me to go to the Earth Dragon Base with you?"

Long Yubai said, "But, the two bases are hundreds of miles away from each other. It's such a long distance. If you don't go with me, you won't be able to be with me every day, will you?"

"Why do I have to go with you?" said Yang Jianhua, "Isn't it good for me to stay here? This base now belongs to me alone. Wouldn't it be a waste if I gave it up like this?"

Long Yubai gazed into his eyes for a while, then said, "Is this destroyed base what you don't want to give up, or something else?"

Yang Jianhua paused for a second, then slightly loosened his embrace and asked, "What do you mean?"

Long Yubai pushed him away, then silently turned and walked outside.

He was already running out of patience to keep wasting his time on Yang Jianhua. If the latter wasn't a level-six superpowered man who could still do a lot of things for him, he would have fallen out with him already.

Long Yubai was a smart person. He wasn't capable enough to found and manage a base, but he knew how to find people to do that for him.

He made the people who were obsessed with him willingly work for him… And Yang Jianhua was one of them.

In fact, he didn't put many efforts in building the Earth Dragon Base. That base was basically built by some other people and then gifted to him.

Unlike some of Long Yubai's other suitors, Yang Jianhua wasn't a faithful man. He simply wanted everything that he liked. He was already on Long Yubai's side, but still wasn't willing to give up on Lin Wenwen. Long Yubai knew it all.

With a dark face, Yang Jianhua watched Long Yubai walk out.

…

After a whole week, Lin Qiao finally woke up from unconsciousness.

She woke up to see nothing but darkness. But soon, she sensed the changes which had been happening inside her body and around her. She felt that Viney's energy had filled up her entire body. Her every cell, and her blood now all contained that warm, healing energy.

She also felt waves of hunger from her stomach, and that feeling made her swallow saliva unwittingly.

She felt a little strange about it. Why did she feel hungry? She had been easing her hunger by drinking the lake water ever since she became a zombie. She hadn't sensed hunger for quite a while.

What was happening to her now?

She was surrounded by Viney's energy, but the weird thing was that she didn't detect Viney's vibe from it.

'Eh?'

'Viney, are you there?' She called Viney in her head.

She guessed that she was still in the lake, and her body was entirely wrapped in energy. That did not feel exactly the same as what happened before, but based on what she experienced before, she could still figure out her current situation.

'Mama! You're finally awake!' Viney's voice was heard in her mind.

'Where are you? Why can't I feel your vibe anymore? Are you still in the lake?' Lin Qiao asked.

'Mama, I have completed my upgrade… Where am I? Em… Viney is in Mama's belly!' Viney's voice was a little unclear.

Lin Qiao felt even stranger.

In her belly? How come Viney went into her belly? What did that mean?

'How can you be in my belly? You're so huge. Can you get into my belly?' She couldn't help but ask.

Viney responded, 'Mama, in fact, the Viney you saw before was only energy… Viney doesn't have a real body. This time, in order to upgrade Mama and repair Mama's body, I have injected all the energy into Mama… With no spare energy to rely on, Viney had no choice but to come into Mama's belly…'

Didn't Viney have a real body?

Lin Qiao was stunned.

'Viney actually has no real body. So, were those vines that I saw all formed from energy?' Lin Qiao wondered.
