When the magic flower blooms

Weighed the eels, and the two continued to walk along the street to the north of Goldfish Village.

The bustling bazaar was left behind, and the houses gradually became sparse. The terrain under the feet swelled and gradually formed a gentle slope.

The Goldfish Village Elderly Activity Center is located on this quiet hillside.As a thank-you gift from Yangmei a few days ago, He Tiansi brought some snacks to Xiaomei, and also gave a formal introduction to Ming Ruoxing.

Sunday was the busiest time in the activity center. In order to avoid affecting Xiaomei's work, they left quickly.Under Ming Ruoxing's suggestion, he chose a relatively remote path to go back.

If the lively market shows the kindness and simplicity of the villagers, then what they met at this moment is the quiet and soft side of the village.

The narrow path paved with gravel meanders towards the southwest, with the villagers' own gardens on both sides of the road.The hydrangeas are in full bloom, and green oranges are hanging all over the branches.The dogs were all chained in the yard, and occasionally a few cats passed gracefully high up on the wall without making a sound.

As they walked, Ming Ruoxing suddenly asked, "Why is this village called Jinyu Village?"

He Tiansi is not too sure: "It seems that in ancient times, there were people here who specially bred rare goldfish. But even if it is true, it has been lost long ago. Now there is no one in the village who raises bubble eyes."

The two chatted and walked towards home.On the way, I was called to the yard by some mahjong-playing aunts and ate two pieces of watermelon.He Tiansi has been acquainted for a long time, and he has a thick skin; Ming Ruoxing is not good at dealing with the aunts' inquisition and enthusiastic matchmaking.Fortunately, after leaving this house, they left the village and walked among the endless lotus ponds.

It is the lotus season now, and the lotus leaves as tall as a man on both sides of the field ridge are undulating, like a jasper arcade.Occasionally, there are a few lotus flowers the size of a washbasin sticking out their heads, and their fragrance is attractive.

He Tiansi randomly picked two lotus pods for Ming Ruoxing - the generous villagers would not mind this level of tasting.The lotus seeds are tender and sweet, with a faint fragrance, which is indeed a rare umami taste in big cities.

"How is it? Isn't this village great?" Throwing the lotus seed shell into the water, He Tiansi couldn't help but shriek.

"It's very leisurely."

Ming Ruoxing brushed her long wind-blown hair behind her ears, "...but it's too leisurely."

"Yeah, I always feel that I will grow old in advance."

He Tiansi opened his arms and took a deep breath.

"Although this kind of life should be envied by many people. But I can't help but think - if I suddenly disappear from this village, it seems to be no big deal. Just like this lotus pond was blown by the wind, maybe The lotus leaf will shake a few times and then calm down quickly."

Following He Tiansi's line of sight, Ming Ruoxing also looked at the lotus pond not far away.There is a red lotus, isolated in a snow-white lotus bush, dazzling and lonely.

After staring for a long time, he turned his gaze to He Tiansi again.

"Then what kind of life do you want?"

"I--"

He Tiansi also turned his head to meet his gaze.There were three points of confusion and three points of helplessness in that gaze, and the rest, I'm afraid even he himself couldn't figure it out.

Anyway, the most worthless thing right now is time, and the two just stared at each other willfully without saying a word.Until a sound that was neither loud nor crisp, but very abrupt broke the balance.

It was the non-woven bag in He Tiansi's hand that fell to the ground.Melons, fruits and vegetables were scattered all over the place, and several conger eels also escaped from the plastic bags that stored water, and fled to the lotus pond for freedom.

But Ming Ruoxing didn't care about the mess of the place, he also dropped the things in his hands, stepped forward quickly, and supported He Tiansi who fell backwards.

The moment he grabbed He Tiansi, a wave of chaotic pheromone rushed along his arm to his brain—the same situation as that night happened again!

Without panic, Ming Ruoxing held his breath to prevent himself from being affected by the fluctuations.

"He Tiansi? He Tiansi?!!"

He Tiansi wanted to respond, but he opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound.In just ten seconds, his face was as white as thin paper, his lips were blue, but his forehead was dripping with sweat.

The fake medicine that was dropped by Uncle Guang has been discontinued for several days, and this attack is unlikely to be a side effect of the medicine.Could it be that the judgment of stopping the drug was wrong?Ming Ruoxing finally panicked a little.

Due to the redundant and complicated approval process of the Baia Security Bureau, the drug supply application that had been submitted long ago was only approved yesterday.Even if you leave the warehouse on the same day, you can arrive at Goldfish Village at the earliest in the afternoon.

Anxiety and self-blame are pointless at this point.Ming Ruoxing immediately dragged He Tiansi into the shadow of the lotus leaf, bent his right leg and pillowed it under his head.

Without the suppression of drugs, the only way to suppress this wave of situations as soon as possible is to "control violence with violence": use more powerful demihuman pheromones to suppress the one that is out of control.

If it were the past, Ming Ruoxing of the "dominant species" would have a hard time suppressing Naga of the "umbrella protection species".But now, he only has one try.

Ming Ruoxing fixed He Tiansi's shoulder with one hand, covered He Tiansi's eyes with the other hand, and began to release pheromones as a test.

He Tiansi's body was like an empty container, and he didn't show any resistance to his temptation.This defenseless state is the performance of ordinary people or low-level demihumans.

Yes, He Tiansi is not the powerful and powerful Naga back then.

Resisting the sadness welling up in his heart, Ming Ruoxing reminded himself not to act emotionally.

The suppression of pheromones works quickly.He Tiansi's sweating symptoms disappeared quickly, his breathing slowed down, and his face began to return to ruddy.Ming Ruoxing was secretly delighted, and hurried to touch his carotid artery to check his heart rate.

But at this time, the situation seems to have a new change.

To avoid misjudgment, Ming Ruoxing checked twice.The interval between these two inspections was only a few seconds, but the power in He Tiansi's body surged like a flood, surpassing the level of ordinary demihumans all of a sudden!

Moreover, there are some strange things that don't just happen to He Tiansi.

There is obviously no wind, but the tranquility in the lotus pond has been broken.The lotus leaves are swaying and the water is splashing. If you look closely, you can see that the fish, shrimps and crabs raised in the lotus pond are churning violently, and even jumped out of the lotus pond, struggling in the field ridge!

Ming Ruoxing knew some similar cases: Some high-level demihumans could indeed control ordinary creatures of his kind through pheromones.But fish, shrimp and crabs are not of the same family, and the demihumans carrying these low-level genes are often very weak, so the abnormality in front of them cannot be simply explained by manipulation of the same family of pheromones...

It was too late to think about it - He Tiansi began to sweat again, his face became more and more red.His expression was painful and ferocious, and the veins on his temples and neck were bulging, obviously enduring extremely great pain.

Ming Ruoxing was also sweating anxiously, he called He Tiansi repeatedly, but got no response.How things would turn out, he had no idea.But the only thing he can do so far is to try his best to suppress this strange force!

Thanks to police training over the past 12 years, special techniques for extreme situations immediately come to mind.Ming Ruoxing bit the tip of his tongue, grabbed He Tiansi's masseter muscle with both hands to force him to open his mouth, then leaned forward, and poured the saliva mixed with blood into He Tiansi's mouth.

Compared with airborne transmission and physical contact, oral bodily fluids are undoubtedly more potent.

Ming Ruoxing almost pressed his whole body on He Tiansi's body, and forcefully squeezed his tongue between He Tiansi's lips and teeth.He could clearly feel that the power in He Tiansi's body was resisting strongly, and He Tiansi was also struggling constantly, with surprising strength.

The double resistance put Ming Ruoxing under double pressure.But the more so, the more he couldn't give up.After all, Ming Ruoxing is the only one He Tiansi can rely on now.

He has never believed in ghosts and gods, and he couldn't help but pray in his heart, praying that he would never fail.

Perhaps it was because of God's kindness to those who seldom begged, when He Tiansi was forced to swallow a few mouthfuls of blood, he finally began to return to normal.

As the mysterious power in his body subsided, the astonishing hot flashes on his body also disappeared.The relief of facial expressions and the relaxation of body muscles were almost synchronized, which made He Tiansi almost sink into Ming Ruoxing's arms.

And Ming Ruoxing also regained his strength, only then did he realize that He Tiansi had pinched ten red finger prints on his arm, and his whole body felt as if trampled by a horseshoe, completely sore from head to toe, unable to bear it. Use your strength.

In order to further stabilize his heart rhythm and emotions, he tried to take a deep breath.Unexpectedly, he just opened his mouth, and his stomach convulsed violently. He quickly left He Tiansi, lying on the edge of the lotus pond and retching.

The water surface of the lotus pond is about half a meter high from the shore, and it has returned to calm at this time.Ming Ruoxing lay on the ground for a while, barely feeling sick anymore.But just as he wanted to get up, he felt dizzy again.

"careful!"

A strong arm grabbed his shoulder just in time—He Tiansi, who was still in pain just now, looked at him worriedly as if nothing happened.

Ming Ruoxing was supported by him, and the two sat side by side on the high ground beside the field ridge.The breeze passed through the lotus pond, blowing towards the face with the fragrance of lotus, and quickly dried the cold sweat all over the body.

Pretending to admire the lotus for a while, He Tiansi asked "casually".

"Just now... what happened to that?"

"It should have something to do with the sudden awakening of your demihuman blood."

Ming Ruoxing tried to simplify the language as much as possible: "I used the pheromones in the blood to temporarily suppress yours. But to find out the real cause of the disease, more systematic examination is needed."

"Phew... that sounds complicated."

He Tiansi rubbed his hair, as if he was not used to deep thinking.

"Thank you, it's rare for someone to be so anxious for me."

As he spoke, he touched his lips again.

"That... that just now seems to be my first kiss, how about you?"

Ming Ruoxing obviously didn't expect his skin to be so thick, and his face turned red all of a sudden.

"...that's not a kiss."

He twisted his lips and whispered in denial.

"Not what?"

He Tiansi's selective deafness suddenly occurred, so he leaned over and listened carefully.

"That's not a kiss." Ming Ruoxing repeated.

"Huh? What is a kiss?"

"..."

It was only then that Ming Ruoxing realized that he had been teased, so he became vicious and shouted loudly.

"That wasn't my first kiss!"

He Tiansi's eyebrows twitched, but he still kept his expression steady.

"Ha... that's right, so you're not too young. Is the other person a human or a cat? As for demihumans... don't they have different types and can't be together?"

Ming Ruoxing turned his head in annoyance and ignored him.

"Speak," He Tiansi went on to tug at the corner of his clothes. "Don't be so mean!"

"Stingy fart, my tongue hurts!"

After shouting these words, Ming Ruoxing's legs and feet seemed to gain strength, he got up quickly, picked up the things he was holding just now, and walked away angrily.
