Chapter 1043: Something Good

“There certainly is. Isn’t sunlight their natural bane?” said Wu Chengyue smilingly.
“What about the nighttime?” Lin Qiao slightly turned her body and raised her head to give him a glance. Why on earth did he come so close to her to talk to her? There were a lot of empty seats.
She thought for a moment and then decided to let Wu Chengyue stay out of it. So, she faced her palm toward him and said, “Never mind, I’ll think of something myself.”
Clearly, she tried to tell him not to interfere with her business.
Her power was able to drill into those creatures’ bodies to devour their energy, so she guessed that some other special poisonous energies might be harmful for them too. Therefore, she decided to go into the underground cave herself to capture a few of those creatures for experiments after Teng’s one-month-old party.
She believed that she would be able to discover some other weaknesses of those creatures apart from sunlight.
Wu Chengyue shrugged and smilingly handed the diary back to Lin Qiao. As he was working in the kitchen earlier, his sleeves were still rolled up near his elbows, exposing his strong forearms. His olive skin looked so healthy that Lin Qiao couldn’t help but want to touch it.
“Have you felt that your power is growing back pretty fast lately?” Wu Chengyue asked her another question as she took over the diary.
Lin Qiao was preparing to move to the other side of the couch as the man obviously had no intent of getting up. Hearing his question, Lin Qiao automatically stopped moving but raised her head to look at him with confusion.
Lin Qiao had noticed that indeed. She noticed it last night when she was absorbing zombie nuclei.
Normally, she was able to absorb about ten zombie nuclei at level four or five every night. Since she was pregnant with Teng, that number went lower. During her pregnancy, she was only able to absorb five or six energy nuclei per night, and most of the energy would be absorbed by Teng.
But last night, she absorbed thirty nuclei. As her absorption rate grew higher, her zombie nucleus was already eighty percent filled.
That had never happened before last night.
At first, Lin Qiao couldn’t figure out why. Recently, all she did was to absorb ten level-seven underground creatures and have s.e.x with Wu Chengyue once. She couldn’t figure out what boosted her absorption rate before. However, after hearing Wu Chengyue’s question, she had a thought that she did not want to believe.
He was not experiencing the same thing, was he?
Seeing Lin Qiao blink her eyes with hesitation, Wu Chengyue curved his lips corners in a bigger, meaningful smile and said, “You seem to have realized something. What exactly do you think has happened between us? I think that thing turns out to be good for both of us, doesn’t it?”
Lin Qiao didn’t know what to say.
She thought for a moment and then realized that all the effects of their first two times were actually shown on her. The first time, half of her body was re-activated, and she had a strange feeling which seemed to have triggered something. After that, Viney became her baby. As for the second time… Viney was born not long after that!
No to mention what happened during the first two times, a few nights ago during their third time, Lin Qiao felt his energy gush into her own body. Back then, her mind wasn’t very clear, so she didn’t pay much attention to that feeling. Now, she thought back and recalled that something of herself seemed to have been taken out of her body. That was a very strange and subtle feeling!
There seemed to be a hole in Lin Qiao’s head when she thought about how she had s.e.x with Wu Chengyue three times. Every time her body went through obvious changes.
‘Oh, there’s more!‘ she said to herself. She remembered he was still at level-seven when he had s.e.x with her for the first time. Back then, he was only a breath away from level-eight. After being tricked into having s.e.x with Lin Qiao, he soon became a level-eight superpower possessor!
Wu Chengyue folded his arms as he leaned against the back of the couch and said smilingly, “Last year, Teng entrapped me and then I made the breakthrough, entering level-eight. You seemed to have grown much stronger after that too. How about this time? Are you feeling the changes as well?”
“So what?” Lin Qiao turned her eyes away from him and said, “What are you trying to say?”
She didn’t answer his question clearly but gave a response in an indirect way. Her att.i.tude was no longer firm.
Wu Chengyue had his eyes glowing. Then, a mysterious look emerged from those eyes as he abruptly reached out a hand and gently touched her ear with his fingers.
Lin Qiao trembled and immediately stood up, flas.h.i.+ng two meters away from him. Then, she turned back and glared at him, “What are you doing?”
How dare he touch her while talking to her? He was definitely going too far!
Wu Chengyue looked at her in a meaningful way, blinking. “Why are you so nervous?” he t.i.ttered and said, “I wasn’t going to do anything.”
Lin Qiao looked at him coldly and pressed her lips together. Then, she snorted as she held the diary and turned to head toward the stairs. “It’s late. Chief Wu! You should get some rest.”
She saw a dark figure flash away from the end of the stairs once she walked near the stairs. Rolling her eyes, she stepped onto the stairs. Did the two kids think her nose was only a decoration? Couldn’t she sense their scents?
Lin Xiaolu sneakily carried Teng back into their room and threw him onto the bed. Then, she quickly crawled onto the bed, pulled the blanket up, and started pretending to sleep.
Soon, Lin Qiao opened the door of their room and stood at the door while looking at the bed. Then, she walked into the room and pulled the blanket over to cover Tongtong, who had rolled to the side. After making sure that all the four kids were covered, she turned and left.
Once she closed the door, Teng and Lin Xiaolu, who were pretending to sleep, sat up in the darkness.
“Eh… Daddy is so lame! We have only one night left, tonight and tomorrow night. Mama’s going to leave again if he doesn’t make a move,” Teng folded his little arms and said with a bitter face.
Lin Xiaolu said to him, “Why are you always worrying about the adult stuff? Just go to sleep! You promised me just now. Don’t you eat your own words!”
Earlier on, the boy asked her to carry him out to hear what his Mama and Daddy were talking about, and promised her to stay quiet and sleep once they came back.
“Your Mama and Daddy live together. So, you surely don’t know how it feels like to always travel from your Mama’s to your Daddy’s!” Teng clicked his tongue and said, “Mama is going back to our base in a couple of days. If I ask to stay here, she’ll say yes, and she’ll leave me here for a long time! She might even be happy about it!” said Teng with discontentment.
“How do you know that Aunty will be happy?” Lin Xiaolu asked.
“I know my Mama the best! You see, she never likes me now. It’s definitely because I’ve been too naughty. She can’t focus on work when I’m with her!” Teng said with his eyes sparkling in the darkness. He sounded like someone who knew everything.
