Chapter 1231: Their Heads Look Like Flowers

About a mile behind Lin Qiao’s vehicles, a dark figure flashed across the forest from time to time. It was a huge, long-haired dog, nimbly leaping through the trees and following behind Lin Qiao and her friends. Further away on the mountain, a large, red figure was seen from time to time.

Lin Qiao sat in the car, holding Teng; she could sense the vibes of the two beasts. Strangely, neither of them showed any intent of launching an attack. For that reason, she didn’t do anything to them but kept observing them. She had no idea why the two followed her.

“I want to get into the space to see my uncle.” Teng spent quite a while crawling on the backseat from side to side. He had no interest in the deserted view outside the window at all.

“He has no time for you. He’s busy,” Lin Qiao looked at the boy.

In the space, Lu Tianyi was indeed busy cutting the meat. Teng would have to stay aside and watch him if he went in. He wouldn’t disturb Lu Tianyi, but would definitely distract him.

“Em, Mama, you are so cruel! I’ve just made him feel better, and you immediately gave him tons of work to do… He’s like the manager of your farm. Aren’t you worried that he might get angry?” Teng thought of the pile of dying animals. There were about thirteen of them, not including the enormous bull. It would take Lu Tianyi great efforts to cut them all into pieces. His poor uncle was forced to work hard.

“I made him work, so he’ll have no time and energy to do the unnecessary thinking,” Lin Qiao sighed and smiled as she turned to look outside. It might be better if she had told him the truth at the very beginning. But in that case, he might dislike her for possessing his sister’s body. Thankfully, he didn’t hate her after he started doubting her.

That really made Lin Qiao feel relieved.

Teng sat down on the backseat and folded his little arms, “My poor little uncle! His sister was his only family before, but she never saw him as a little brother. Then she died, and now he has a fake sister.” After saying that, he gave Lin Qiao a meaningful glance.

Lin Qiao dropped her head to look at the boy helplessly, “I didn’t want to be his fake sister. I didn’t ask to possess Lu Tianyu’s body. I don’t know what happened and how I ended up wearing her skin. Besides, I’m not seeing Lu Tianyi as my fake little brother. I’m nicer to him than I am to even Lin Hao.”

“You’re right,” Teng thought for a moment and responded. His Mama was really nice to Lu Tianyi. She possessed Lu Tianyu’s body and identity now, but she didn’t steal them. Also, Lu Tianyu had died. What could be done to change that fact?

While Lin Qiao and her team were heading toward Huaxia Base, Wu Chengyue left Sea City Base together with Xiao Licheng, Kong Qingming, and some other people. He had also brought Wu Yueling with him.

“Daddy, when can we see Teng and Mama?” Wu Yueling was sitting in the backseat, holding the large fluffy gray rabbit. She turned to Wu Chengyue and asked him that question expectantly with a small voice.

Wu Chengyue smiled at the little girl as he rubbed her hair and said, “They’re not joining us for the journey, so we probably can’t see them until tomorrow.”

“Oh,” Wu Yueling’s glowing eyes instantly dimmed a little as she dropped her head with disappointment. Meanwhile, she was stroking the fat rabbit slowly.

She had had the rabbit for a year. The rabbit was growing fast, and it was already large. It was fat and fluffy, as warm as a little stove.

Feeling the girl’s disappointment, Wu Chengyue pretended to be sad and said to her, “Doesn’t Ling Ling want to be with Daddy? Daddy is sad.”

Wu Yueling raised her head and found her father still smiling. She gave her father a glare, then dropped her head again and mumbled, “It’s not like that.”

Xiao Licheng, who was driving the car, asked Wu Yueling jokingly, “Ling Ling, you saw them just a few days ago, didn’t you? How come you miss them already?”

Wu Yueling looked at him from the backseat and said, “Hmm, I don’t want to separate with them…”

“Sadly, your father hasn’t won your Mama’s heart already. It won’t take long, though. Be patient, Ling Ling,” Xiao Licheng smiled.

Before, Wu Chengyue and Lin Qiao spent a few days lying on the bed hand in hand absorbing energy. How could their relationship be improved by doing that?

At that moment, a beast vibe was suddenly sensed from the front, seeming like a huge herd of animals. Wu Chengyue and Xiao Licheng adjusted their expressions and looked ahead seriously.

“Qingming, go and see what’s going on over there.” Before Wu Chengyue made a sound, Xiao Licheng slowed down the car and picked up the interphone, talking into it.

“I get it,” Kong Qingming’s voice was heard from the earphone worn on Xiao Licheng’s ear.

Then, the head car sped up forward.

There was still a distance between the beast vibe and the motorcade. After about ten minutes of driving, Kong Qingming saw a herd of black creatures covering the road. He didn’t know what those creatures were, but the vibe told him that they were not kind.

He got off the car, hopped onto the car roof, and looked at those creatures. After giving them a close look, he found that they were a bunch of weird-looking creatures with short limbs lying on the ground.

Those creatures looked very strange. Their heads looked like flowers, and in the middle of each flower was a long, tongue-like thing, wagging from side to side and looking extremely disgusting.

Their bodies were flat, without tails. On both sides of their waists or bellies were a few rows of thorns. They each had four feet, about half a meter long; they also had long and sharp claws.

The smallest one among them was about a meter long and wide. They had their flower heads reared up, and their tongues were pointing at Kong Qingming.

Kong Qingming and his people parked the car about four hundred meters away from them, but those creatures soon sensed them. They raised their heads and paused briefly, then suddenly charged at them.

“Drive!” Kong Qingming leaped off the car and said to the others. Then, he raised both arms and swung forward. Following his movement, the plants on both sides of the road started growing rapidly, reaching toward those weird creatures. The plants rolled up those creatures, strangled them and crushed their bones.

“Damn! What are these things? They look so disgusting!” Zheng Xiaonian got off the car and saw those creatures, causing his face to twist immediately.

Their bodies looked relatively normal, just being a little too flat. However, their heads looked utterly unpleasant to the eyes. Those heads looked like flowers, each with a hole in the middle. By the edge of the hole were teeth, and coming out of the hole was a swaying tongue, which looked like a greasy rope. One could really feel uncomfortable upon looking at those creatures.
