# Chapter 2349: Meeting a Kindred Spirit

(꒪ͦཀ꒪ͦ〃) "Pfft-wah~ I really didn't see anything, alright? All that blinding whiteness hurt my eyes!"

Mountain Cat: !!!

What blinding whiteness!

(⑉Ծ皿Ծ) "Still talking? You're still talking?!"

Mountain Cat grabbed Jiangnan by the nape of his neck and smacked him against the wall with a *crack*, the scene utterly brutal!

Yet Jiangnan showed no sign of resistance whatsoever, letting Mountain Cat do as she pleased, a bright smile plastered across his face.

That's the feeling, right there! Still the same Sister Shanmiao, huh?

But she'd also broken through to Transcendent, even stronger than before!

She held onto Jiangnan's tail tightly, refusing to be left behind!

Li Bing poked her little head out:

|ಡꇴಡ) "Aiya~ Alright, alright. Fighting is affection, scolding is love. Just how much do you adore Little Nan?"

"He's here to check on the aftereffects of Black Hole Devouring Star. He made an appointment with me earlier. Don't let him end up with no aftereffects, only to get pounded into having some!"

Mountain Cat's movements froze abruptly. Aftereffects? Something as insane as Black Hole Devouring Star really couldn't be used casually?

Her gaze sharpened, filled with resolve. She quickly stopped her actions and looked at Jiangnan!

Jiangnan grinned, spreading both arms:

٩(๑⁼ꇴ⁼๑)۶ "Want a hug~"

Mountain Cat's face darkened. She grabbed Jiangnan and gave him a death hug against her chest, clanking so hard sparks flew!

(︶~︶〃) "Here's a big red envelope for you! What hug? Stop being clingy!"

Jiangnan laughed even more happily. Sister Shanmiao's chest was still just as solid, huh?

But Mountain Cat's expression turned serious: "What's this about aftereffects? Is it serious?"

Jiangnan scratched his head, eyes darting away:

୧(๑◔3◔ิ) "As for serious or not, I'm not really sure myself~"

Mountain Cat picked up Jiangnan like a little chick and carried him over to Li Bing, her expression earnest:

"I'm counting on you!"

Li Bing snickered: "Don't worry~ I'll definitely return you a healthy Jiangnan!"

Mountain Cat's face flushed again. Li Bing already knew Jiangnan was coming, right? That's why she was probing her?

Black-hearted! Pfft!

Li Bing's gaze shifted to Jiangnan, leisurely. She opened her mouth, not even speaking yet—

When Jiangnan's clothes suddenly vanished! The Origin armor turned into briefs covering his vital areas!

Instantly, shrieks came from quite a few young girls in the venue. Jiu Lan directly turned around, squatted on the ground covering her face, spitting incessantly!

But Zhong Yingxue and the others were already used to this scene!

Chong Feiyu looked smugly at Jiu Lan:

(˶‾᷄↼‾᷅) "Heh~ Young~"

Li Bing laughed: (๑ᵒ̴̶̷̫ᵒ̴̶̷) "Yo yo yo~ Young man, you know what's up, huh? Understand that you need to be honest with your doctor?"

As she spoke, her small hand slid across Jiangnan's abs. She seemed to have a mysterious obsession with the belly!

Jiangnan grinned wide: "Well, take a look? I'm a regular here, alright?"

He even turned back and winked at Mountain Cat:

(͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧ "Flattened!"

[From Luo Tianhong's Resentment Value +777!]

Flattened my foot! You still have one piece on! I didn't have any just now!

If it weren't for the fact that you're sick, I'd definitely pound you to death! I'll let it slide for now~

Li Bing didn't waste any time. Silver Vine Weapon extended from her back, and a single eye opened on the vine, conducting a full-scale scan of Jiangnan!

A layer of silver light enveloped Li Bing's Vine Weapon!

What shocked Jiangnan even more was that on Li Bing's smooth forehead, a crack opened, revealing a heavenly eye with a silver-white pupil!

Jiangnan was stunned: Σ(°△°|||) "Th-this? Where did that eye on your forehead come from?"

Li Bing multitasked: "Hm? This one? It's a biological weapon I cultivated, the transplantable kind. I cut a bit off Yang Jian for reference."

"Then I begged a few eyes from the Pupil Clan over there. Newly made—it can see a bit more than human original eyes. Pretty full-featured~"

"What? Want to install one too? I'll do it for you? It can let you see through things~"

Jiangnan shuddered hard:

(¬﹏¬٥) "I'll pass. I don't want to have to pick eye boogers off my forehead every morning."

Li Bing: (≖_≖)...

Why are your angles of thinking always so bizarre? You can hide it if you don't want to use it!

Chong Feiyu was stunned: ∑(°口°๑) "Th-this Star-Devouring Mother Vine—she has it too?"

Jiangnan said excitedly: "This is the Ice God I told you about. My little whip was modified and mutated by her before she installed it on me!"

Chong Feiyu's eyes sparkled:

(งᵒ̌꒨ᵒ̌)ง "Y-you modified the base pair sequence in the Star-Devouring Mother Vine's gene chain? But how did you make the Mother Vine combine with flesh without causing rejection?"

"And control it at will?"

Li Bing was surprised: "Oh? Found someone who knows their stuff! That's simple, isn't it? You can use the parasitic property of the Mother Vine to neutralize it, eliminate its intelligence, then install it at the nerve center near the spine, and you can control it at will!"

"But this method doesn't work well on other types of lifeforms. Material-type, energy-type can't do it."

"Humans are different. The human gene sequence is like Lego bricks—highly receptive, can combine with any gene chain without rejection, and the combination methods are extremely diverse."

"This might be one of the reasons why humans have such a variety of abilities and all sorts of bizarre powers~"

Chong Feiyu nodded repeatedly:

(*⁰̷̴◠⁰̷̴) "Yes, yes, exactly like that—building with blocks! Look at this!"

As she spoke, Chong Feiyu extended her little hand. Immortal light shimmered on it!

Her palm underwent wild evolution, turning into a webbed hand, then sharp claws, scales growing out, suction cups forming on fingertips, even metallizing—in just a short moment, she made over a hundred variations!

Finally, it returned to a human little hand!

Li Bing's eyes widened. She flashed over to Chong Feiyu, holding her small hand, unable to let go!

(๑ớ◡ờ) "Dear~ Can I slice you up for research? What's going on with you?"

Chong Feiyu said excitedly: "It's building with blocks! By altering my own gene sequence, I achieve form changes—short-term directed evolution!"

"My ultimate dream is to become a perfect carbon-based lifeform. Though I can already do this now, there are still many links that I can't connect."

"And as for the Star-Devouring Mother Vine, I can't make it perfectly combine with my genes. Can you teach me exactly how you built it?"

Li Bing's cheeks flushed pink: "I'll teach you! Later, let me study your gene combination method thoroughly! Good—yours is good!"

She was practically drooling, looking at Chong Feiyu like she'd discovered some great treasure!

And Chong Feiyu felt like she'd found a kindred spirit with the same interests!

The two held each other's hands, gazing deeply!

Li Bing: (∗❛ั◡❛ั) *Really wants to slice her open and study her thoroughly~*

Chong Feiyu: (*⁰̷̴◡⁰̷̴) *Didn't expect there was such a knowledgeable person among humans. Really wants to open her brain and see how it's structured!*

Though the two were smiling at each other, everyone nearby felt an inexplicable chill!

Shengyi looked at Yakeli and Jiu Lan. These two had dark clouds hanging over them—were they about to be unlucky again?

Jiangnan pouted on the side:

(◦`~´◦) "Hey hey hey—you're supposed to be treating me! Can we talk about whatever later? Why am I being left out?"

Li Bing reluctantly let go: "Wait! We'll talk later!"

Chong Feiyu nodded like a chick pecking rice, humming nonstop, full of anticipation.

The two of them really were like a turtle meeting a mung bean—they clicked.

Li Bing gave Jiangnan an extremely thorough checkup. Spiritual threads extended into every corner of his body, probing nonstop!

Her expression kept shifting—sometimes amazed, sometimes frowning.

After the examination, she held her chin, sizing up Jiangnan, silent for a long time!

Jiangnan looked nervous. Even Zhong Yingxue and Mountain Cat's hearts were in their throats!

"How is it? Say something! It's not incurable, is it?"

Li Bing clicked her tongue: (͡°ก͡°) "How can your physical fitness be so absurdly good? It's impressive that you managed to break through to Transcendent with such a physique."

"And your Curved Speed Drive—if an ordinary Transcendent used it, their body would directly disintegrate from the load. But you only have some minor damage, which your self-healing can repair?"

"You're a real freak! I don't even get a chance to kiss you!"

Jiangnan grinned: "If you want to kiss, go ahead—don't be shy! So? Found anything wrong?"

Li Bing rolled her eyes at Jiangnan: "Cell activity has indeed decreased, but still stronger than most Transcendents!"

"After the Northern Crown battle, with such high-intensity combat, not a single hidden injury left? It's ridiculous? Relying solely on Vine Weapon repair can't achieve that, right?"

"Do you have another healing method?"

Jiangnan was startled. He activated the Sha Qi Secret Technique, and endless baleful flames blazed!

"Is it because of this? Baleful flames? This Sha Qi Secret Technique combined with Blood Incineration can achieve unexpected effects!"

Li Bing's eyes widened. Her face turned pale as she stepped back two paces, plopping down on the ground, all her hairs standing on end!

(☍﹏⁰。)…

Jiangnan's killing intent wasn't something just anyone could withstand!

Li Bing's face darkened. Under everyone's gaze, she walked out of the lab!

A minute later, she returned as if nothing had happened, but she'd changed her pants!

Jiangnan broke into a cold sweat: (•́ω•̀٥) "Sister Li Bing? Did you just..."

Li Bing's face reddened. She immediately glared, hands on hips, and said loudly:

(◕ˇ⌂ˇ) "Back then! Someone was meddlesome when I was treating him, and also—"

Jiangnan: !!!

In a flash, Jiangnan lunged forward and covered Li Bing's mouth!

(¬﹏¬‧̣̥̇) "We're even, we're even! I won't say anything, alright?"

Li Bing raised her chin triumphantly. Hmph~ Trying to compete with me? You've got a hundred years to go!
