I'm sprouting again

"Let's change places first."

After the two were awkwardly silent for a while, Zang Feng suggested.Then the two moved from that strange room to a hidden high-rise living room.

in the living room.

Bai Xiao sat on the sofa on the left with his hands on his knees; Zang Feng sat on the sofa by the window; Shi Le sat on the sofa on the right with the sleeping chicken cubs in his arms.

On the small table in the middle of the three sofas, there is a small potted plant with branches of the tree of life. The blackened part at the bottom of the branch has risen again, but the leaves at the top are still crisp and tender.

"..."

Bai Xiao glanced at Shi Le first—when he left the room just now, Zang Feng received a call, and then Shi Le came over together.

It doesn't matter if Shi Le knows about this kind of thing?Well, yes, after all, he is the captain of the crown prince's personal guard.According to Lu Rong, the First Legion, the crown prince's personal guard, was formed by each crown prince himself.

In this case, they should all be very trustworthy confidants.

"Shi Le, tell me the matter again."

Zang Feng's expression was indifferent, and he said in an orderly tone.

Bai Xiao was taken aback, his heart seemed to be tightened by something - when there were other people, even Shi Le, the captain of the personal guard, Zang Feng's expression was completely different from the expression he had when facing him alone. the same.

"Yes."

Shi Le stretched out one of his arms, rolled up his sleeves, and said: "7 minutes ago, the egg yolk suddenly burst into flames. It is an entity with condensed magic power. It is preliminarily determined to be the 'awakening' of the growth and evolution stage of the ancient dragon species. .”

On Shi Le's exposed arm, there was a small red mark, like a burn.

Also, ten seven minutes ago?

Bai Xiao was puzzled, that time happened to be when he was inside the metal cube.Moreover, Zang Feng also called the process of absorbing his magic power "Magic Power Awakening".

Is it a coincidence?

"Have you confirmed it?"

"Yes, the residual magic power at the scene was detected, as well as scar identification. The possibility of 'awakening' is [-]%."

Zang Feng pondered for a moment, "I see, this matter is confidential, let's go out."

"Yes."

Shi Le put down the chicken cubs and left the room.

After Shi Le closed the door, Bai Xiao couldn't help but asked, "What did Captain Shi mean just now? What happened to the egg yolk?"

Zang Feng's expression was serious, as if he was thinking about something, but he still distracted and answered Bai Xiao's words.

"Awakening is a special stage in the growth of monsters, but for ancient dragons, the meaning is different. The awakening of ordinary monsters is conditional. Only a few individuals can awaken into stronger individuals and reach the level of evolution.

But ancient dragon species, their awakening is just a kind of growth. "

"Ancient dragons are different from adults. Their cubs are very fragile. Like egg yolks, although their physical fitness is stronger than that of ordinary monsters, that's all. When the cubs grow up and meet certain conditions, they can awaken , At that time they were the real ancient dragon species.

Different from the evolution of ordinary monsters, after the awakening of ancient dragons, they will condense their own magic power, and finally become adults. Their bodies are the most powerful magic weapons. "

Bai Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard this: "So, the egg yolk has entered the growth stage?"

Bai Xiao glanced at the chicken cubs on the sofa, and his enthusiasm gradually faded... There was no difference at all.

"It should be, but the opportunity for the awakening of the egg yolk..."

Zang Feng didn't finish, but Bai Xiao already understood.

Bai Xiao: "Is it... related to my awakening of magic power?"

Zang Feng shook his head: "I'm still not sure, and the information about the ancient dragon species is not exhaustive. Forget it, let's talk about your situation first, about your... bud."

Bai Xiao blinked, then stretched out his hand to touch his head—the curly hair was disheveled, and unless he pulled his hair aside to look, he usually couldn't find the buds on his head.

Bai Xiao's fingertips touched the tender petals of the buds, and a strange feeling came, not from the fingertips, but from the buds.

tactile.

Bai Xiao withdrew his hand, looked at Zang Feng and said, "I don't know how to explain it, but this time the buds are different from the previous ones."

Zang Feng was a little worried: "What's wrong?"

Bai Xiao: "There is a sense of touch. In the past, the buds were like touching a pendant. But now, when touching it, it is like touching a part of my body."

Zang Feng was stunned, and vaguely remembered that when he wiped the bud before, Bai Xiaona's eyes were watery from shock.

Zang Feng's thoughts wandered for a moment, and then he was pulled back by his strong self-control.

Zang Feng: "Have you ever done this before?"

Bai Xiao shook his head: "No."

Zang Feng was taken aback suddenly, remembering something.

Zang Feng: "...In the past, sprouts sprouted every birthday?"

Bai Xiao nodded and smiled: "Well, it's very punctual. The sprouts sprouted in the early morning of my birthday—ah, speaking of it, when I was in Beicheng, the night when I first stayed in His Highness's presidential suite was my birthday, and it was my birthday. It sprouted. Your Highness even broke into my room because of it... Cough, I mean, the source of the fragrance should be the buds."

Zang Feng also remembered what happened back then, and the way Bai Xiao looked at him at that time.

Speaking of which, Bai Xiao's attitude towards him has become much calmer recently, and he no longer sees that shy and timid look in his eyes. Instead, he is like a little sun, always seeing light from his eyes.

Off track again.

Zang Feng closed his eyes, pulled back his thoughts again, and tied his thoughts to the business.

Zang Feng asked: "You said that you sprout every year, so what about those sprouts?"

Bai Xiao: "It's unplugged."

Zang Feng: "...Huh?"

Bai Xiao stretched out his hand to touch the top of his head, and said, "These buds can be pulled out very easily. When I was young, I could even touch them with force. Later, the suction became a little bit, but it's just that the skin is sucked by the skin. Strong, easy to pull off, like this—”

Bai Xiao pinched the bud on his head, and gently lifted it up skillfully——

However, the buds were not pulled out as usual, but a strong pain was transferred from the top of the head to the brain.

"what!!"

Bai Xiao screamed, he covered his head, curled up in pain.

"Bai Xiao!"

Zang Feng was taken aback, he strode directly across the small table in the middle, and arrived in front of Bai Xiao.

Zang Feng held Bai Xiao's shoulders and asked, "What's wrong?"

After that moment of severe pain, the pain gradually disappeared, and Bai Xiao's tense body gradually relaxed. He raised his head, revealing his eyes that were forced to cry from the pain, and met Zang Feng's worried eyes.

Zang Feng was taken aback.

Cried?

Except for Gou Gou who was bullied and cried by Xiong Lie when he was a child, Zang Feng hadn't seen anyone cry in front of him for many years.

what should I do now?

"It hurts so much." Bai Xiao didn't notice Zang Feng's strong shaking at that moment, and was extremely aggrieved, "Besides, it seems that it can't be pulled out."

Zang Feng's gaze was still fixed on Bai Xiao's tears, and it took a second to realize Bai Xiao's words.

Zang Feng shifted his gaze to Bai Xiao's head again, and from the gap between Bai Xiao's fingers, he could see the chubby sprout, which was a big bean, so it was hard to find.

It looks no different from the buds of ordinary plants.

Zang Feng moved closer and flapped his nostrils, but he didn't smell the fragrance that made him almost lose his mind.

Zang Feng withdrew his gaze, saw that Bai Xiao seemed to be in no serious condition, and said, "Then don't pull it out for now."

The pain on Bai Xiao's head also completely disappeared, he rubbed the skin around Ya with his fingertips, and replied: "Yes."

Zang Feng stood up and took advantage of the opportunity to sit on the sofa next to Bai Xiao - the sleeping chicken cub was picked up by its father and placed on the small table.

Zang Feng: "You said that the buds were pulled out before, can you elaborate? For example, the feeling when the buds sprout, how big the buds can grow, and the changes after the buds are pulled out, etc."

Bai Xiao thought for a while, and said: "When sprouting, the biggest feeling is itching. Anyway, for so many years, I will be woken up by itching every morning on my birthday, without exception. As for how big it will grow, I don't know, because usually After being tickled, it has already come out, and then I will pull it out. But after pulling it out, their appearance has not changed, and I keep them all."

As Bai Xiao said, he reached out to touch the pendant around his neck, which was his space button.

Bai Xiao took out the glass bottle in the space button, which contained half a bottle of young buds.There are about a dozen buds, and all the buds are exactly the same, so similar that each one is like copying and pasting.

Bai Xiao put the glass bottle on the small table, and said, "This is all the buds—oh, yes, I also ate one, and it has a very magical healing effect, but I don't know if it's only effective for me .”

Zang Feng: "..."

eat?

Zang Feng's mood was complicated for a while, but he didn't express any opinions in the end.

Zang Feng reached out to pick up the small glass bottle containing the buds, and asked Bai Xiao, "Can I open it?"

Bai Xiao smiled and said, "Of course I can."

Today he has made up his mind to tell Zang Feng all his secrets, and he will naturally agree to this request.

Zang Feng uncorked the bottle, and a faint fragrance wafted out from the bottle. It was a familiar scent, but it was too much diluted, and he just smelled refreshing, and it didn't have the attractiveness that made him fall into a daze before.

And soon, this smell also dissipated in the air.

Zang Feng poured out another bud, the texture was like jade, not like a living thing.And these have been more than ten years, but there is no change at all...

Zang Feng frowned, put the buds back, capped the bottle, and gave it back to Bai Xiao: "I can't determine the cause of the buds yet, but it is undoubtedly related to the power of the seeds—otherwise I wouldn't be interested in its taste. reaction.

So don't tell anyone about it until you figure out why, okay? "

Bai Xiao readily agreed: "I know."

Originally, he didn't plan to talk about it everywhere. After all, sprouting or something made people look sideways. He didn't plan to become a "rare animal".

It's just that Bai Xiao is a little distressed: "I have to be more careful when washing my hair in the future. It hurts if it is touched a little bit. Besides, will it grow up? If it grows up, then..."

Bai Xiao imagined the grassland above his head, or the picture of trees growing above his head.

Bai Xiao: "..."

A bit beautiful.

Zang Feng: "..."

How should I put it, the direction Bai Xiao was worried about deviated too much from what he thought.

At least, worry about the impact of the growth of the next bud on your body.
