Chapter 2575: Qingche's Tear…
Jiangnan asserted firmly:
(˵¯͒～¯͒˵)"You're lying! You just want to use this method to swap my luck weapon away, right? And also get in touch with me, pull me in as your free bodyguard!"
"I won't fall for your tricks! Right, Xuexue?"
Zhong Yingxue nodded in agreement, how could she easily let Xiao Nan go and pollinate with a woman he just met? She hadn't even tried it herself!
But Qingnong kept shaking his head:
(ﾟ﹏ﾟ٥≡٥ﾟ﹏ﾟ)"Holy Vine Lord wouldn't act without reason. As everyone knows, her main body is a Star Devourer level Star-Devouring Mother Vine with extremely high potential!"
"But unlike normal lifeforms, her intelligence isn't that high, and she mostly acts on instinct!"
Jiangnan's expression stiffened:
(˶‾̫᷄‾᷅˵)"See? See? You admit it? You still say your Star Devourer isn't dumb? Our incense bead is..."
Before Jiangnan could finish, Qingnong's face turned black:
(̿▀̿﹏▀̿̿٥)̄"Can we not bring that up first? Lord Qing'er acts on her biological instincts, and has an extremely sensitive alertness to danger! It's not a precognitive ability; we call this survival instinct 'Knowing Fate'!"
Jiangnan frowned:
(๑•̌～•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣"Survival instinct? Knowing Fate? Is it that miraculous?"
"But lifeforms like the Star-Devouring Giant Worm and the Seven-Colored Big Crucian Carp, which have extremely high upper limits, are indeed not very smart, with low intelligence."
"The dumber, the stronger? Hiss~ Wait! The evolution of the Desolate God Clan doesn't seem unreasonable after all?"
Qingnong nodded:
"In history, Holy Vine Lord has used the Knowing Fate instinct many times to convey divine oracles and resolve crises for our clan, always getting through safely."
"Knowing Fate is absolutely not a fabrication. Something big might really happen in the future, and only you can protect Holy Vine Lord from harm!"
"She says the way to live is with you!"
Qing'er kept nodding, pointing at Jiangnan:
☚(°◠°ོ)"You... protect Qing'er, Qing'er won't die... happy!"
Then she fake-smiled, showing a row of small white teeth.
Jiangnan frowned:
"I also know many abilities to foresee the future, like the Apocalypse Clan. There's a noob in my clan who can do it, and I've experienced it myself!"
"The future is just something that is confirmed once seen. How does Knowing Fate know that I am the one to break the situation? Can instinct reach that level?"
Qingnong hastily explained:
"Knowing Fate is not foreseeing the future, but a unique perception. How should I explain it to you?"
Wang Youzhi interjected:
(￢_￢)"It's like how cats and dogs can sense their own death, say goodbye to their owners in advance, and then find a quiet place to leave peacefully."
"Humans also get a sense before dying of old age or illness, knowing they might croak, not make it through the day. That's animal instinct. And Qing'er's instinct is even more extreme and sensitive, right?"
Qingnong nodded frantically:
(งᵒ̌_ᵒ̌)ง"Yes, yes, yes, that's the idea. Otherwise, how could Holy Vine Lord have lived through such a long time? It all relies on Knowing Fate!"
Jiangnan raised an eyebrow:
(๑◔д◔ิ๑)"Is it reliable?"
Wang Youzhi propped his chin, sizing up Qing'er:
(͡°ก͡°)"This Star Devourer Mother Vine has quite a background. I have a faint impression of it. Its origin comes from the Great Pioneering Era, formed from a single tear of the Qingche Goddess!"
"It drifted through the starry sky, only beginning to sprout and grow toward the end of the Eternal Era, right? Qingche was no simple character. She dedicated herself to scattering life across every corner of the starry sky!"
"A pretty good person, but because of the end of the Great Pioneering Era, she was buried along with the era. Truly a pity..."
"Since it's the tear of the Qingche Goddess, this Qing'er is indeed something."
Jiangnan's eyes widened:
∑(°口°๑)"Great Pioneering Era? Holy crap?"
"That was an era full of gods everywhere. The Ancient Star God Clan also existed in the Great Pioneering Era. It was in that era that the great gods pioneered the entire starry sky, making the originally desolate starry sky become vibrant and lively!"
"Qing'er's origin can actually be traced back that far?"
Qingnong was also dumbfounded. Th-this... casually revealing such earth-shattering secret! Hey!
"Qingche Goddess?"
At that moment, Qing'er suddenly froze, staring blankly at Wang Youzhi, with mist appearing in her eyes.
(ᵒ̴̶̷̥́△ᵒ̴̶̷ོ̣̥̀)"Qingche..."
(ོᵒ̴̶̷̥́﹏ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀)"Qing'er! Must live on!... Must live until the end of time... Must stay evergreen... Mission! Mine..."
She had never heard the name Qingche, nor seen her, but when she heard that name, she still couldn't help but want to cry, feeling sad.
Wang Youzhi smiled bitterly:
"It's not just a simple tear, but also inheriting Qingche's obsession and unfinished wish, isn't it?"
"To live on, to live until the end of time, to make this starry sky everlasting green?"
"Big brother... if it doesn't cause trouble, you can help her, just consider it a good deed... Don't let Qingche's obsession be cut off here..."
"If not for her... perhaps the colorful starry sky world of today wouldn't exist. A pity... a pity~ tsk tsk tsk~"
Jiangnan looked at Wang Youzhi in astonishment. This was the first time he saw Black God speak up to let him help with a serious matter.
"Those who could have their names remembered by Black God in starry sky history are all god-level figures."
Jiangnan didn't know what happened in the extremely ancient Great Pioneering Era, nor how stirring it was.
"But since Black God keeps saying it's a pity, it must be truly a pity, right?"
Qing'er nodded frantically:
(ོᵒ̴̶̷̥́◠ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀)"Give you Qing'er's precious treasure! Swap! You protect me..."
Jiangnan scratched his head. Can't you say something else? I understand, but Jiangnan also looked troubled.
"I can help! After all, my good big brother has spoken. But... the pollination thing, can we do it another way?"
"If I really do that, I... will I still be able to live my own little life?"
"Xuexue, Lang Mie and the others are right here, hey!"
"And how can I cheat? In every sense!"
Qingnong quickly explained:
"It... might be that Holy Vine Lord's expression is a bit off. She... she doesn't want to engage in reproductive behavior in the traditional life sense with you!"
"Besides, humans and Mother Vine—it, it, it can't be done that way anyway! It's plant pollination, exchanging genetic information traits!"
"You said you have a vine weapon, right? It would be done using the vine weapon, not intimate operations... And this will also be a great help to you! After all, Holy Vine Lord is at the Star Devourer level, containing an extraordinary amount of genetic information traits!"
"Although I don't know what precious treasure Holy Vine Lord is talking about, you definitely won't lose out!"
Qing'er nodded like a chick pecking rice:
(ོᵒ̴̶̷᷄◠ᵒ̴̶̷᷅)"Mm-hmm~ Complementary! Not a loss!"(Gesture...)
Zhong Yingxue covered her face. If this were on the street, someone like Qing'er would probably be arrested as a pervert, right?
Only then did Jiangnan sigh in relief, saying a bit disappointedly:
(︶～︶〃)"Tch~ So that's how it is. Hah~ I thought it was something else. Got my hopes up for nothing, tsk~"
Xia Yao rolled her eyes. So what exactly were you expecting, hey!
Qingnong swallowed his saliva:
"So you agree?"
Jiangnan raised his head:
(ꈍ～ꈍ〃)"Since you're rushing to give me your most precious treasure, how could I possibly refuse? If you insist on giving it to me, I can't help it~"
"As long as it's not an intimate act, it's acceptable, right? Xuexue? Lang Mie?"
As he spoke, he cast a sidelong glance, looking inquiring.
(๑◔▿◔ิ)✧
Wu Liang looked teasingly. Even Brother Nan has moments of cowardice?
Zhong Yingxue rubbed her nose, avoiding his gaze, and nodded.
(⸝⸝◔ก◔ิ)"If it's just using the vine weapon for poll... pollination, and nothing else, then... then it's okay."
Xia Yao slapped her thigh, looking regretful.
(ˇ益ˇ◦)"Dammit! So it's not something that needs to be done in that way? Little Nan really has no luck!"
"Since it's pollination and not the intimate kind, there's no fear of being watched, right? Can I request to spectate?"
Jiangnan:
Σ(＠ロ＠;)"Huh?"
"Spec... spectate?"
"What's there to see?"
Zhong Yingxue nodded and followed up, looking serious.
(๑ớ◠ờ)"+1!"
"It's reassuring to witness it with my own eyes."
Mila jumped up and raised her hand.
(∗❛ัꇴ❛ั)۶"Me me me! Mila wants to see too!"
Xia Yao said with a sly smile.
(˵ಡ▿ಡ˵)"Mila! You're still young~ Things like this that only adults can do, how can a little kid watch?"
Mila:
(≖～≖)"I'm older than you! Several years older! I'm just pretending to be young."
Xia Yao:
(•́ω•̀٥)"Ah, this..."
But Qing'er didn't care at all, pulling Jiangnan's hand and dragging him out.
"Let's go! Give you... precious treasure!"
Three minutes later!
At the very top of the Star Devourer Mother Vine in Shennong Star Domain, inside a blooming snow-white vine flower.
The size of this single flower was already bigger than a planet!
Jiangnan sat cross-legged on the ground with a flustered look, shirtless, avoiding eye contact, feeling immense pressure.
On the other side, Qing'er also knelt in the flower pistil, like a flower fairy, quietly looking at Jiangnan...
Nearby, Zhong Yingxue, Xia Yao, Mila, Lan Qianbenshu, Xiao Jiuwo, and Xing Cheng were neatly lined up, sitting in a whole row, hey!
(⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛)(∗ớ◡ờ)(∗❛ัꇴ❛ั∗)(⁰̷̴꒨⁰̷̴*)(ᵒ̶̶̷̀◡˂̶́∗)(≖ᴗ≖๑)…
All staring wide-eyed at Jiangnan.
The atmosphere in the place was extremely strange. Jiangnan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
(•́﹏•̀٥)
"Why did things turn out like this, hey!"
"It's just pollination to exchange genetic information, why did it become a large-scale onlooking scene?"
Thinking about it carefully, the Small Whip has completely merged with his body, it's entirely a part of his body.
Whether it's senses, touch, everything is connected.
Small Whip communicating with Qing'er? That would be him...
Thinking of this, Jiangnan immediately became nervous, sweating from hands and feet, heart rate accelerating.
Xia Yao pulled out a notebook and started writing furiously, muttering as she wrote.
囍✍(°ε°〃)"Start 30 seconds, Xiao Nan's heart rate from 70 beats/min increased to 1600 beats/min, heart rate accelerated, blood flow speed increased, abnormal sweating, seems like he's getting the feeling..."
Jiangnan: !!!
(งᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)ง"Hey! Don't even record things like this! Don't I need to save face?"
