Chapter 109: The Confidential Coordinates

Rising from his embrace, as long as she herself wasn't embarrassed, then it was others who would be.

Ruan Mian thought this to herself, squeezed her palms, and felt a little bit of awkwardness.

"You've already bought it back? It is a bit fierce."

Huo Junze changed the subject, and the ambiguous atmosphere from just a moment ago dissipated completely, which also conveniently avoided any embarrassment.

However, his gaze fell upon the pig in the cage, which was nothing but skin stretched over a skeleton, and he still showed his distaste, his high-bridged nose even wrinkling.

It was truly quite smelly, and its backside was also stained with a large amount of yellowish-brown feces.

Any normal person would find it somewhat repulsive.

"Mm, I reckon it's hungry."

Because the pig's gaze was glowing with a green light, exactly the same as those chicks when they first saw vegetable leaves.

Its gaze was fixed straight onto the clusters of green leaves.

Ruan Mian walked over after pulling a handful of vegetable leaves.

The pig in the cage had already stood up, its long snout already opened uncontrollably.

She still carefully handed them over, and the little pig finished them in two bites.

After eating, it kept oinking, not yet full, and by the looks of it, it still wanted to eat.

There was some helplessness in Huo Junze's eyes, and his voice lowered, "Pigs as animals just eat quite a lot, and they can grow very large later on."

Ruan Mian nodded immediately; she wasn't afraid of it eating, she was only afraid it wouldn't grow!

"Alright, alright, 917, hurry up, go cut a big pile of sweet potato vines for it!"

917 received the instruction, turned around, and immediately walked toward the sweet potato vines.

With a knife in one hand and the sweet potato vines in the other, it cut a large pile with a swift motion.

It pained Huo Junze's heart to watch.

He simply turned his head to look elsewhere and saw Ruan Mian walking outside.

"Where are you going?"

Ruan Mian raised an eyebrow and gestured with her chin toward the courtyard outside, "To build a nest for the little piggy."

Huo Junze's gaze fell upon her slender arms, and the moment he thought of her building a house, he was afraid they would snap.

"I'll go help you."

Help her?

Huo Junze watched with his own eyes as the person before him squatted on the ground, and a faint green light emitted from her hands.

Then he saw a green branch sprout out rapidly.

It lengthened and thickened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When it was about the thickness of a thumb, she stopped, then wound these vines around the iron bars, weaving them into a large fence.

She continued to channel her ability, forcing the vines to become completely thick and sturdy, growing to half a person's height.

The green leaves grew very densely and looked quite nice.

She then continued to set up an iron frame on top and continued to channel the vines.

A simple, ordinary pigsty was finished.

She poked the arm of the person standing there in a daze.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Ruan Mian looked into his eyes, and there seemed to be some surprise in his dark pupils.

How could he not be surprised!

He thought she would use some iron sheets to make it, or at the very least, he would just scan for a pet house on the Light Brain.

To save the trouble.

Yet, he had never imagined it would be built in this way.

"How could it be like this..."

He suddenly envied this pig; why was it able to live so well!

"This is more convenient, don't you think? Plus, it's well-ventilated, and the thick leaves on top can provide shade and block out the heat during the day~"

A piggy still needs to be raised delicately; it can't get sick, and who knows if there are any veterinarians or anything around here.

She suddenly thought that her own courtyard should also have a few big trees planted for shade.

Now that she had the protection of a powerful ally, she had to make good use of it!

However, this pigsty was still missing something...

Oh right, there was also the pig's feces, but that was a good thing; the land here still needed to be nourished, and she couldn't keep relying on using her ability to force-grow crops one by one in the future.

This organic fertilizer could be used on these crops just right.

But now she needed to dig a big pit.

"917, come here, come here."

Huo Junze's arm reached out first to grab the wrist she was about to turn away with.

"Where are you going?"

Ruan Mian pointed toward the direction of the pigsty, "I need to dig a big pit behind there to discharge the pig's feces."

Hearing the word "feces," Huo Junze's brows furrowed, and one could feel his disgust.

"There are machines specifically for processing feces; they are sold on the Light Brain."

He really wanted to say he would buy one for her, but he saw the person before him shake her head.

The refusal in her eyes didn't seem fake, "No need, no need, I have my own use for this feces!"

What use could such dirty, smelly, and disgusting things as feces possibly have?

917 had already walked over a step ahead to interrupt their conversation, heading straight toward the pigsty to execute the order.

Ruan Mian was preparing to go plant two more big trees, but her gaze landed on the small sapling that she and Huo Junze had planted.

She still tentatively asked aloud, "Huo Junze, do you want to see what the big tree you planted will look like after it grows up?"

Huo Junze looked at her and nodded, his thin lips pursed and curving slightly, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Okay."

"Aren't you curious about my ability?" His failure to ask anything at all left Ruan Mian full of confusion.

A normal person would be very surprised to see an ability like his, and then curious.

How could he be like this, saying nothing at all?

"I am curious."

His tone did not sound curious in the slightest.

"Is your Mental Power able to control plants?"

Ruan Mian shook her head and stated a fact that surprised him, "I don't have Mental Power."

How could that be...

Huo Junze looked at everything around them, then thought of her age on the contract, and understood in his heart.

She must have been abandoned by her family for having no Mental Power.

For a moment, an endless feeling of pity welled up in his heart.

How did she survive with such a thin, weak little frame?

If it weren't for these plants, would she have already ceased to exist?

He found it hard to believe.

"But what is lost in the east is gained in the west; heaven hasn't treated me too poorly. Although no Mental Power was detected, it gave me other abilities. Amazing, right!"

Anyway, since she couldn't explain where her Plant Ability came from, she simply made something up and let him guess the rest himself.

"It's not exactly amazing. I have seen citizens before who didn't awaken Mental Power but possessed abilities in other areas, though none as precious as yours."

That's good, that's good; she wasn't the only anomaly in the Interstellar.

With her life having gained another layer of security, Ruan Mian patted his shoulder in a good mood, though she still had to stand on her tiptoes to do it.

"Let's go, Huo Junze, let's go plant trees!"

"Report to the Marshal, the source of the items has been found!"

As soon as Zhou Rui finished speaking, the gaze cast by the man sitting behind the desk was extremely sharp.

"Speak."

"We checked and it's being sold by a shop on the Light Brain, but the daily quantity sold is limited, so the amount of plants on hand might not be large."

Qin Xiulin tapped his fingertips on the tabletop irritably, "Did you find the coordinates?"

Zhou Rui shook his head, his face showing regret, "There are no coordinates; we only found that it belongs to a contract under the Huo Group, and everything else has been kept confidential."

"Huo Group?"

Qin Xiulin's gaze was somewhat cold...
