At the dinner table that day, Ye Bai announced to Huo Chengyuan that he had awakened a new ability.

"The store manager Bai said that my ability is very rare, and many plant-type high-level spiritual powers may not have this ability, haha, am I very powerful? Am I not!"

Ye Bai was very excited. Before when he was a child, which child never dreamed of having superpowers? Even if he couldn't fight monsters like Ultraman, having some other magical abilities would be very cool!

Even Huo Chengyuan, who had seen and learned a lot, couldn't hide the astonishment in his eyes after listening to it.

"You have awakened another ability?" Huo Chengyuan was very surprised, "How can there be two blood awakening abilities?"

Each individual has only one bloodline, and of course there can only be one corresponding ability. Even if it is a mixed blood, usually only one of the bloodline's abilities will be awakened, and it is basically impossible to awaken two, at least Huo Chengyuan has never heard of it before.

Ye Bai: "..."

Shit, I almost forgot that I made up a "seeing parallel world" ability!

"I, I don't know what's going on." Ye Bai forcefully pretended to be innocent, "The world is so big, there are so many wonders, maybe I'm just too powerful, so I only have two?"

"Yeah." Huo Chengyuan smiled, and gently rubbed the other person's hair, "That's right, after all, our little Ye Zi is not an ordinary little Flower Immortal at all, right?"

Ye Bai blushed a little when he saw the other party teasing him with what he had said before, but he still had the cheek to nod without shame: "That's right!"

"Does Store Manager Bai know that you are Xiaohuaxian?" Huo Chengyuan asked.

"I know." Ye Bai nodded, and recounted the process of communicating with Bai Xingwen, and also mentioned that the other party invited him to be his experimental assistant.

As Huo Chengyuan listened, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and his brows were also slightly frowned.

"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Ye Bai's heart skipped a beat, "Is there any problem?"

"...I think, Little Ye, you trust strangers too easily."

Huo Chengyuan looked at him, speaking slowly and with a serious expression, "Although according to your description, the store manager seems to be a good person, but before investigating the other party's details, it is not prudent enough to fully explain his situation."

It was the first time Ye Bai was spoken in such a harsh tone by Huo Chengyuan, although the other party didn't intend to reprimand him, he still blushed instantly, and lowered his head a little ashamedly: "Yes, I'm sorry."

Seeing the young man's embarrassed and flustered appearance, Huo Chengyuan also realized that he had substituted the state of work into his daily life, so he immediately eased his tone.

"Little Ye, you are not a human being, and you may not understand the complexity and dangers of the human world." Huo Chengyuan touched the boy's head comfortingly, "I didn't mean to accuse you when I said that, but I just wanted to remind you to be vigilant, don'tTrust strangers, and don't reveal too much personal information, if the other party has malicious intentions, your situation will be very bad, and it will be too late to regret."

Ye Bai: ...Actually, I am human.

But he knew that what Huo Chengyuan said was right, it was necessary to be on guard against others, he had been out of society for too long, and all the people around him were good people, so his vigilance was very weak, and he must pay attention to it in the future, and he had to be vigilant.

"I understand." Ye Bai nodded vigorously, "I will pay attention. If something happens to me, it will cause trouble for you, Ayuan. I don't want to be your burden, let alone drag you down."

Huo Chengyuan shook his head: "You are not a burden, and I am not worried that you will drag me down, I am just worried that you will be hurt."

If the other party is still a little Flower Immortal, he can put it in his pocket at any time and take it with him every step of the way, and no one can get close to or hurt it; but now, his Little Ye is no longer an ordinary little FlowerImmortal.

Now "it" even has a human name——"Ye Bai", no, "it" should be replaced with "he", he has become more and more like a real human being, and Huo Chengyuan can see that Ye BaiVery eager to integrate into human society, he wants to participate in human society, and even wants to work like a human.

He is no longer satisfied with staying at home like a canary, and he is unwilling to be imprisoned and free. He will meet all kinds of people in the future and encounter many things that he has never experienced before, but he cannot guarantee that he will be with him all the time.Beside him, when he thought of these things, Huo Chengyuan felt indescribably depressed and tight in the chest.

A small hand suddenly covered the back of his hand, and the close palm conveyed warmth. Huo Chengyuan raised his eyes and saw the young man looking at him cautiously, with a timid expression, like a soft and harmless little animal.

"Ayuan, don't be angry." His voice was soft and quiet, "I will be more cautious in the future, and I will protect myself so that you won't worry." Just now Huo Chengyuan's complexion was so bad that he couldn't see itTrembling.

Huo Chengyuan looked at him quietly for a moment, then suddenly wrapped his arms around him, and hugged the petite boy tightly into his arms.

This sudden hug made Ye Bai a little dazed. After a moment of hesitation, he also stretched out his hand and hugged him gently.

"Ayuan?"

Ye Bai felt that the other party was hugging him tightly, as if he wanted to press himself into his body, which made him a little difficult to breathe, but Ye Bai didn't have the idea of shrinking back, he didn't even think about it, he just felt,Such Huo Chengyuan seemed to need him very much, so he quietly curled up in the man's arms, letting the other party hug him tightly, absorbing the warmth from his body.

After a long time, Huo Chengyuan finally let go of Ye Bai. Facing the young man's clear and curious eyes, he felt a little embarrassed and coughed lightly.

"I'm not angry." He whispered.

He is not angry.

He just suddenly realized that compared to Xiao Huaxian's dependence on and need of him, the current self is more and more dependent on and inseparable from Little Ye.

"If you want to be that store manager's assistant, you can." Huo Chengyuan said in a slow tone, suppressing the desire for control and monopoly, "but I need to investigate privately to make sure he has no problems."

Ye Bai had no objection: "Yeah."

"I...I also want to arrange a few secret sentries around you." Huo Chengyuan said, "They won't disturb your daily life, but will follow and protect you when you go out. Can you accept it?"

Dark whistle...

Being followed and monitored every move, I will definitely feel awkward in my heart, but considering Huo Chengyuan's special status, once the power struggle starts in the future, I may be the opponent's opening to attack Huo Chengyuan. If I don't take precautions, I may lose my life.Ye Bai didn't hesitate any more.

"No problem." He nodded.

The unreliable blockage in his heart dissipated a little, a little smile overflowed from the corner of Huo Chengyuan's mouth, and the two sat on both sides of the dining table, and began to eat dinner together.

"Ayuan, how are you today?" Ye Bai chatted while eating, "Did that commander make things difficult for you on your first day in office?"

Huo Chengyuan shook his head: "No, but I think there is something wrong with him."

"Huh?" Ye Bai regained consciousness immediately, "What's the problem?"

"have no idea."

"..."

"It's just an intuition." Huo Chengyuan smiled, "His attitude towards me is far from hostile, but he seems to be afraid of something, so he has to be polite to me. From the background and rank of the two of usTo put it bluntly, with the support of Marshal Qiu Cheng, the commander actually doesn’t need to be intimidated, but he still behaves like this. I think he probably did something bad. He was afraid that I, who was airborne, would find out.Don’t dare to disown me from the very beginning.”

Ye Bai thought about it, and asked, "What's the commander's name?"

"Yin Duan."

Ye Bai closed his eyes slightly, and opened the book in his mind.Since the victory of the court trial, the follow-up plot has undergone earth-shaking changes, and Huo Chengyuan doesn't want to follow the route of war and disputes, so the reference value of this mental book has become minimal.

However, after Ye Bai awakened to his second form, he found that the book in his brain had also changed. A "search bar" appeared. Just enter a keyword, and he could immediately jump to the corresponding position. He hadn't used this function before.Just try it this time.

Ye Bai entered the word "Yin Duan" in the search bar with his mind, and actually jumped, but there was only one result - this name appeared only once in the book in his mind.

The relevant content is only a few sentences, even without the aid of a word reader, Ye Bai can still read it.He finished reading and opened his eyes.

"Yin Duan in the parallel world didn't change much in the subsequent disputes and turmoil. He still followed Marshal Qiu Cheng closely." Ye Bai said, "But Yin Duan seems to be very rich, and he raised money for Qiu Cheng.A lot of military expenses have been paid, but I haven't seen where the money came from for the time being."

Huo Chengyuan caressed his chin with his fingers, thoughtful.

rich?Could it be that what Yin Duan was trying to cover up was corruption?

This kind of situation is very common in the military department. The problem is not big, but it is not small. In many cases, the high-level military department will turn a blind eye to this kind of matter, and want to rely on corruption.It is not so easy to squeeze out a segment.

But Yin Duan definitely can't stay. With him holding back and controlling the military department in the capital of Long Shepherd Star, it is impossible for him to become a big power, let alone make full preparations for the coup d'état a year later.

"I see." Huo Chengyuan nodded slowly, his black eyes were deep and dark like an abyss, "I will pay more attention."
