The two left the research center, and Chu Ci hesitated between shopping and going back to the Chu family's mansion directly

It stands to reason that it is the most correct and safest choice for him to take Xia Lin back to the Chu family's mansion directly.

After all, although Mingyang City still seems to be calm on the surface, in fact, there is more than one side of the forces that are secretly ready to move.

And the forces that have some ideas about Charlene are even more. Letting Charlene walk down the street is really not a safe choice.

Whenever he thought of this, Chu Ci couldn't help but secretly hate, if it weren't for Feng Qiliu, the guy who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the show, openly and secretly stirred up trouble, and even came together with the Interstellar Alliance to make such a play, putting Charlene on the cusp, why would they be so passive now?

Even if Charlene and Hua Weizhi researched the so-called alien plants that could grow on other ordinary planets suitable for life, they had a way to push this matter onto Hua Weizhi's head.

Anyway, as the quasi-heir of the Hua family's generation, the other party must be happy to accept such a reputation as monopoly. As for Charlene, a wood-based ability with only a fourth-order peak and no yet fifth-order ability, grabbed a handful on the street, where can he not find it? It's simply not going to attract much attention.

It's hateful, hateful, hateful, Feng Qiliu was not optimistic about the Federation at the beginning, and he was always unwilling to believe in Xia Lin, and the fact that he cooperated with him was directly angry with the Federation and the Interstellar Alliance, coupled with Xia Lin's non-cooperation, he simply made up such a thing.

As a result, don't think about it, it's not Feng Qiliu who is responsible for the aftermath anyway, so the other party won't care!

Looking at the appearance of someone next to her who was entangled for a while and gritted her teeth for a while, Charlene couldn't help but muttered in her heart.

What's wrong with this guy?

"That...... Shall we not set out? ”

Chu Ci came back to his senses, glanced at Charlene, and then looked outside. "Do you want to go around?"

Charlene: ...... "What do you want to do?" ”

Chu Ci was stunned, and the expression on his face was stinky enough.

Looking at Chu Ci, who was constipated, Charlene blinked and sneered. "That...... If you have anything to do...... I'm not in a hurry......"

It's a pity that the other party didn't feel a little better as Charlene wanted, but the expression on his face became more stiff.

Charlene:......!!!

Serve this man! What do you want?

"Go home."

Chu Ci started the hovering car and set the route.

Charlene:......

Is this a gamble?

"That...... If it's convenient......" Before Charlene could finish her words, the hovercar stopped for a moment.

Charlene:......

"I'd like to buy something related to xenoplants......"

Chu Ci glanced at Xia Lin, did not stop, but directly drove the hovercar around a corner and drove in another direction.

"Don't worry, with me, there will be no danger." Chu Ci's tone was very serious, Xia Lin looked at the other party suspiciously, but in the end she still nodded, and silently swallowed back the suspicion or other words.

Forget it, just believe him again!

Anyway, it's not once or twice that she has been cheated, she has already been mentally prepared.

Chu Ci glanced at Xia Lin, and the flashing love on the other party's face naturally did not miss it, but thinking of his accumulated black history, Chu Ci was silent for a moment and didn't say anything.

Charlene:......

The two parked their cars at the market, and Chu Ci took Charlene through the streets and alleys to find a shop.

Looking at the familiar storefront in front of her, Charlene: ......

"Ah, Boss, why are you here?" After receiving Chu Ci's message, Lan Zhiyuan walked out of his private collection room.

However, when he saw Xia Lin following Chu Ci, he was surprised.

If I'm not mistaken, isn't Charlene supposed to be busy at the research institute that is said to be made up of a large number of top federal researchers?

Also, didn't their boss ask for an order from the military department to take care of Charlene's safety?

How to ...... now?

In a panic, he pulled Xia Lin and Chu Ci into his store, and Lan Zhiyuan immediately gave instructions to the two people in charge of reception in the store, and stopped receiving customers for the time being, and then carefully welcomed the two in.

"Boss, what are you ...... What's the matter? When Lan Zhiyuan asked this sentence, the expression on his face was quite nervous.

Xia Lin shook her head with a smile, I don't know if she finally believed that the other party came to trick her this time in front of the task of not arranging traps and "by the way", or because she felt funny when she saw Lan Zhiyuan's nervous appearance, her mood obviously changed a lot, and even the eyes that looked at Chu Ci were a little smiling.

Chu Ci glanced at Xia Lin and snorted lightly.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I've been researching some things about xenoplants recently, but you also know that although I can give birth to xenoplants, I use my own spiritual power, and I have spawned some xenos with strong attack power and have not been domesticated at all, so if it's convenient, I don't know if you have any xenos here that have been specially domesticated?"

As she spoke, Charlene looked around at Lan Zhiyuan's storefront.

Unlike the small but utilized grocery store in Panyu City, which is almost difficult to walk, the store here is very spacious.

Perhaps it is because it is large enough that although there are still a lot of things here, and they are very full, even as Charlene has seen before, even the place on the roof is full of all kinds of goods, but on the whole it does not look like it is blocked, but it is very orderly.

Although, Charlene was very suspicious that it was the credit of the two salesmen.

However, although there are many kinds of things here, they are mostly used by the soldiers of the army and the hunters who need to go out into the jungle.

Although many of them have been eliminated from the army, they are rare and good things in the market, so this store, which is in fact often closed, can maintain good business, but there seems to be nothing like what Charlene wants.

Charlene was a little worried.

When Lan Zhiyuan heard this, he just laughed. "That's good, you and the boss wait inside for a while, and I'll go and prepare it for you."

Charlene:......

Although she was a little skeptical, it was best to have someone prepared, after all, she really didn't want to wander the street at all, so as not to cause trouble.

The two didn't let Lan Zhiyuan lead the way, Chu Ci directly took Xia Lin and walked inside.

At first glance, you can tell that this is not the first time that the other party has come here.

Charlene did not refuse, and obediently followed Chu Ci.

But......

Looking at the dazzling array of things in the room that was said to be Lan Zhiyuan's private collection, the expression on Charlene's face was a little subtle.

She suddenly remembered that when she first came to this world, it seemed that in order to ask the other party for help, she seemed to give the other party something in the same space.

It seems to be ...... Parent-child clothes?

"The collection here is all some antiques that he collected through various ways, although some of them contain not a lot of energy, and some of them have been used, but on the whole they are still very collectible, if you are interested, you can take a look."

Seemingly completely unaware of the strange expression on Charlene's face, Chu Ci said to Charlene's "enthusiastic" Jianyi.

Charlene:......

She suddenly felt that in the face of Chu Ci, she was speechless more and more often, how could this be good? She didn't believe that she had given Lan Zhiyuan a parent-child outfit at the beginning, and the other party wouldn't know about it.

This will make you pretend to be confused, what does it mean?!

Helplessly, under the expectant eyes of the other party, Charlene still moved her steps and visited here.

To tell the truth, Lan Zhiyuan's collection is indeed of great value in contemporary terms.

Even if many collectibles have been used, the energy contained in going to work has become very weak, so the value to the ability is not much, but whether it is from the perspective of historical value or the type of these collectibles, it can be seen that the other party is very attentive, and the strength is not simple.

In particular, among these things, Charlene even saw the existence of more than one book.

Even if most of them are just novels or comics that don't have much use, the better ones are the best-selling books that teach you how to cook private food, be a woman who is good at managing money, etc., which were useful at the time, but are actually of little value today.

However, it is already remarkable.

Charlene unconsciously remembered the books in her space that added up to two libraries.

and her experience in the Pearl of the Sea of Stars, which touched her heart.

Looking up at Chu Ci, who still had a face beside him, and seemed to have run away from home with a smile recently, Xia Lin hesitated in her heart.

It stands to reason that since she already knew that the so-called use of her to fish was just a misunderstanding, and the other party was just purely to protect her safety, the trace of mustard in Xia Lin's heart towards Chu Ci could be regarded as having been solved.

Therefore, as the only person who knows the secrets of her space, and may even reveal the secret of her rebirth, and the other party who has long known about the existence of her space, but has never betrayed her, and even has not told any secrets that should not be told, she also trusts the other party.

But......

Thinking of Chu Ci's repeated pursuit words, Xia Lin couldn't help but feel a sense of congestion.

Do you want to tell the other party about this? Although I knew very well in my heart that maybe the other party would have a clear view of her space when she was unconscious, and there was nothing to hide at all, but should I take out the books and some other things in the space to the other party......

That's a problem.

Just when Xia Lin was hesitating, Lan Zhiyuan walked in with two waiters.

Because plants cannot be carried in the storage space, they are very troublesome to carry, so only three people can carry them.

But...... Seems a bit too much?

Charlene blinked, how could she not know when there were so many domesticated alien varieties so widespread?

"I think you're probably interested in these plants." After putting a few pots of domesticated plants in his hand in front of Xia Lin, Lan Zhiyuan smiled and put another few pots of ordinary plants in front of Xia Lin.

Xia Lin looked at Lan Zhiyuan with some confusion, and then at Chu Ci. "What is this?"

"Ahem, this is some of the plants on other planets that we encountered when we went on a mission before, they are all ordinary plants, the boss heard that you have been doing research in this area recently, so we ......"

Halfway through Lan Zhiyuan's words, he suddenly stopped and smiled at Chu Ci.

Charlene:......

"Ahaha, look, look, do you like it?" Lan Zhiyuan diverted the topic, snorted, and pushed the few potted plants in front of him in front of Xia Lin again.

Charlene:......

Like or not this word, is it really appropriate? Why does she have a weird feeling?

But no matter what, these things sent by Lan Zhiyuan are indeed very much in line with Xia Lin's thoughts.

So just after being suspicious for a while, Charlene still accepted these things.

Whether Chu Ci was intentional or unintentional, she accepted it.

Seeing that Xia Lin accepted these plants, the expression on Chu Ci's face softened, revealing a shallow smile.

Although it was far from the way she used to smile, it made Charlene breathe a sigh of relief inexplicably.

The two stayed here with Lan Zhiyuan for a while, picked out some tools suitable for Charlene to use or something special for price comparison, and chatted for a while before getting up to leave.

However, outside Lan Zhiyuan's shop, there is an accident waiting for the two.

Chu Ci stared at Lang Yuquan coldly for a while, and snorted coldly, "Why are you here?" ”

"I ......" Lang Yuquan wanted to ask Chu Dian how he was now, but after hesitating, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and then changed his cold expression. Why, you can come here, but I can't? ”

Hearing this, Chu Ci stared at the other party for a while, and then pulled Charlene to turn around and leave.

Charlene:......

And there's no human rights anymore, bastard!

How about it?

Watching Chu Ci pull the stumbling Xia Lin forward, Lang Yuquan didn't catch up, just stared at the backs of the two in place and was silent.

"Well, isn't it nice that we're like this?" Glancing back at Lang Yuquan, Xia Lin couldn't help but whisper to Chu Ci.

Chu Ci paused slightly and glanced at Xia Lin.

"That...... I just think...... He's a good friend of your big brother after all, and we're ...... Not quite right? ”

What if Chu Dian woke up and knew that the two of them were embarrassed by Lang Yuquan like this, wouldn't it be okay?

Chu Ci stared at Xia Lin for a long time.

Charlene:...... Did she say something wrong again?

"What do you think I should do?" Chu Ci suddenly asked.

Charlene:...... How do I know you're going to be swollen to do it!

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Ci still turned around and walked towards Lang Yuquan.

He was definitely not angry with the other party because he was afraid that his eldest brother would wake up and blame him, nor because of Charlene's advice, but just because he saw the other party pitiful!

That's right, that's what it looks like! R1152
