“Wu Chengyue isn’t gonna be gullible. Just do what you have to do.” Xie Longyun’s words made Si Kongchen frown. He warned her, then stopped talking.
Xie Longyun turned up her s.e.xy red lips to give a faint smile and said, “Even a smart man will panic in front of his beloved girl, unless he doesn’t love her sincerely.”
Si Kongchen looked at her questioningly, “How do you know he’s sincere to her? What if that woman isn’t so important to him?”
Xie Longyun raised her eyebrows and smiled confidently, “Based on what I know about him, he wouldn’t possibly spend a whole year on her unless he really loved her. Believe me!”
Si Kongchen stayed silent as he looked at her.
“How are you going to stall that woman?” Xie Longyun asked him, “She seems smart too, not to mention the fact that we attempted to steal her prey not long ago. She’s certainly alert against you already.”
Si Kongchen responded expressionlessly, “So what? In my place, I have plenty of ways to deal with her. Haven’t we received the strong version of the superpower-restraining drug from a foreign country lately? It’s effective even on me. I don’t think she can be an exception.”
Xie Longyun furrowed her pretty eyebrows slightly and said, “I know you have the drug. But, how are you gonna use it on her? Don’t tell me that you’re going to mix it in her food or water. It’s too hard to get close to her without being suspected.”
“Who said I’m going to make her eat the drug? She doesn’t need to eat it, only inhale it,” Si Kongchen sneered and dropped his eyes to look at the file in his hand with a grim face.
1Xie Longyun stopped short, then looked at Si Kongchen with surprise and said, “Really? Is that drug so powerful?”
“I’ve tried it,” Si Kongchen raised his head and gave her an expressionless glance.
Once again, Xie Longyun raised her brows as she looked at him and said, “You’ve tried that? How did it work? You are at level-eight. Is the drug really effective on you?”
Si Kongchen turned his head slightly, said, “I paid a huge price for that drug. It wasn’t easy to get it. My people have figured out its recipe. Sadly, a few special ingredients can’t be found in our country. To get more of that drug, we have to keep working with them.” He sounded a little excited, as if he had gotten a true treasure.
“Oh!” Xie Longyun said, “I guess you did pay a big price for the drug. Since they’ve already created a drug like this, I a.s.sume they’re much more developed than we are. If you have the drug, why don’t you just kill that woman?”
Si Kongchen lowered his head and started reading the file again. Meanwhile, he said, “I will certainly kill her when I can. The drug can only be used at special periods of time, because its effect isn’t strong. It can only disable the superpower of a level-eight being for five seconds. Within that short period of time, her superpowers will be limited, but not her activity. She would die if no accidents happened. But, I’m not sure if she has other ways to save her own life… But at least, her power will be limited, and your plan can be carried out.”
Xie Longyun nodded and said, “If you have something that good, give me some, so I can use it on Wu Chengyue. Won’t that be easier?”
Si Kongchen sighed as he leaned against the back of his chair and looked straight at her, “I’d certainly give you some if I had more. The problem is, I only have two doses. They wouldn’t give me more. One dose is already used for experiments, so there’s only one dose left. So, I can’t give you any.”
Xie Longyun turned down her lips and complained, “Why didn’t you get more?”
“I wanted to,” said Si Kongchen, “But, they can’t produce it in large batches yet. So, they refused to sell more to me.”
“Alright then, we’ll stick to the plan. I got to go,” Xie Longyun said, then turned and left.

The next day, Lin Qiao sensed the vibes of Wu Chengyue and his people when she was still tens of miles away from Huaxia Base.
“Daddy is here!” Teng had also sensed his father’s vibe. He excitedly put both hands on the window frame and looked outside. Wearing thick clothes, he looked like a baby bear.
Lin Qiao smiled faintly as she pinched his cheek and said, “Why are you so excited? You saw him just a few days ago.”
“Because I don’t need to eat poorly tasted porridge when Daddy is around! I want Daddy’s porridge!” Teng glanced at Lin Qiao scornfully, straightforwardly criticizing her poor cooking.
He was used to Wu Chengyue’s food. Wu Chengyue had raised him into a picky boy.
“You’re just picky! My porridge isn’t so bad!” Lin Qiao argued with him.
“Your porridge always tastes the same. I’m so sick of it already,” Teng turned down his lips with dislike.
Indeed, Lin Qiao’s cooking wasn’t as bad as he said, but her porridge had only one flavor. After trying all kinds of baby porridges that Wu Chengyue made for him, Teng felt that living on Lin Qiao’s porridge was pure torment. Enduring her food for so many days was already the best he could do!
Lin Qiao didn’t know what to say. The boy was still so young, but he was picky already. How was she supposed to raise him?
“You got to get used to my food too, because you can’t stay with that guy every day. What are you gonna do when you’re with me?” She thought for a moment and decided to try to make the boy less picky.
Teng agreed with her, so ghe looked at his mother and fell into silence. At last, he decided to be nice to himself and said, “Can you at least try to create a few more flavors for me? Having the same flavor every day is really exhausting.”
“I’ll try my best. Allow me some time,” Lin Qiao grinned at him. For some reason, her grin gave Teng a not-so-good feeling
After returning to All Beings Base from Huaxia Base, Teng had truly learned what bad cooking really meant. Lin Qiao had to spend a very long time to learn how to make edible food without blowing up the kitchen. Could someone like that possibly learn how to make different types of delicious food within a short span of time?
Teng was forced to try her creative dishes every single day. He regretted asking his mother to cook something different for him so much, but there was no way back. He had a strong stomach that allowed him to survive on any food. However, the awful tastes were killing him.
