All the stars are waiting for me to grow fruit

"The sound of flapping wings?" Hearing this sentence, Arthur, who was arguing with Earl Diye, stopped and listened carefully, but still heard nothing.

He was about to say whether Abel heard it wrong, when suddenly a little "humming" sound entered his ears, from far to near, as if something was gradually approaching them.

This made Arthur look at Abel with strange eyes. His hearing was specially trained, and he couldn't hear clearly even a helpless butler.

Abel didn't speak any more, but looked solemnly out of the window, the fruit that Ye Jiu had planted by himself was swaying without wind.

Especially the Thousand Magic Fruit, the wind chime-like fruit is making the sound of "ding bell" and "ding bell", but compared with the previous healing sound, it is a little more urgent. As the sound of wings flapping gets closer, the sound of wind chimes It's also getting bigger and, to the back, even a little bit sharper, which makes it a little distracting to listen to.

If Abel is looking at the monitor at this time, he will find that the protective cover of Planet Fruit has been filled with dense worms. This kind of worm is yellow in color and has very sharp teeth.

Although the protective cover that Ye Yue brought is the latest technology of the military, it is obviously not enough for these insects with amazing bite force. This kind of insect is called the yellow belly insect, which is a kind of vanguard just like the red back insect. Its characteristics are similar to those of tens of thousands A kind of bug called "locust" was a bit like it a year ago.

They have indestructible teeth and stomachs that can digest even metal, and can also convert what they eat into the energy they need.

Not only that, but their appetites are surprisingly good. Wherever they pass, even the soil is gnawed clean, and no grass grows.

Waiting behind it is a dense army of bugs. As long as the protective cover is broken, the army of bugs will inevitably overwhelm the environment.

And the voices that Abel and Arthur heard were redback worms, but the redback worms that came this time were a little different from before, and seemed to have evolved.

After evolution, the scythes on their feet are smaller, but sharper.The most important thing is that they all have a pair of wings as thin as cicada wings on their backs, allowing them to stay in mid-air, and their flexibility has also increased by several steps.

Their intelligence has also made great progress, no matter how tempting the fruit in front of them is, each of them has no intention of opening their mouths, but stays in mid-air, waiting for the next instruction.

The fruits also straightened their waists one by one, and looked at the Zerg from a distance. The war was about to break out.

Fingel climbed up a higher hillside, looked at the army of Zerg in front of him, and let out a howl of "Aw~~~"——

【Master, where are you!If you don't come back, your fruit field will be gone! 】

......

"ah--"

Ye Chu felt a palpitation in his heart, and his subordinates broke a teacup immediately.

He frowned, a little puzzled, Ye Yue beside him couldn't help but asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." At that moment, it seemed that someone was calling himself.

Ye Chen couldn't help but rubbed his temples, was he too tired from the journey?

But his eyelids started to twitch, and he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Ye Jiu frowned in his heart, seeing the butler come up to tidy up, he said in a low voice——

"Sorry to trouble you."

The two of them have now arrived at a big house under the leadership of the housekeeper. It is worthy of being the current God of War. Not to mention that the imperial capital is expensive, even the floor area of ​​the house is three times that of Ye Jing's house.

Even from the living room to the bedroom, there is not a short distance.

Perhaps because the current God of War Yan Conghu is a soldier, everything here is dominated by minimalist black and white, and the furniture only meets the minimum living needs.

And because the general likes to be quiet, the servants of God of War Palace usually don't come out to wander around during the day, and only Yan Conghu and his housekeeper are active. This huge residence is not even popular at all.

"It's okay, it's all my job."

Although the butler was missing an arm, he was extremely agile in his work. He swiftly put away Ye Chen's broken cup, served another cup of tea, and then walked to the chair opposite Ye Chen——

"Please wait a moment, the general will be here soon."

As soon as the words fell, a thin man appeared in front of them, and then sat on a chair.

Ye Yue's pupils shrank sharply, and the hands on her knees were clenched reflexively, her back straightened.

Ye Chen glanced at him, then at the God of War opposite, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

The current god of war looks to be in his early thirties. Although his eyes are piercing and not angry, the dense crow's feet at the corners of his eyes reveal the fact that he is no longer young.

His sitting posture is very standard, his back is straight, his legs are separated at 30°, his hands are lightly resting on his knees, his eyes are looking straight ahead, he is as tall and firm as a pine tree.

Ye Jiu looked at Ye Yue with some doubts, for no other reason, Ye Yue's subconscious posture at this time was exactly the same as that of Yan Conghu.

But Yan Conghu is because of the habit of staying in the army for a long time, but Ye Yue logically said that he was born as a star thief...

Moreover, Ye Chen could also see that Ye Yue's emotions were a little tense at this time, even her back subconsciously tensed up. This kind of demeanor seemed a bit like a subordinate being inspected by a superior?

Ye Chen was taken aback by the thought that popped up in his heart.

Yan Conghu obviously had the same doubts as him——

"Brother, are you a soldier?"

It was only then that Ye Yue came to her senses, and then she resumed her previous sitting posture, and the aura that was just like Yan Conghu disappeared in an instant.

Yan Conghu wanted to ask something else, but Ye Jiu cut him off——

"General Yan, you didn't call us all the way here to check the household registration, did you?"

Ye Jiu said half-jokingly, and pinched the back of Ye Yue's hand by the way, until the other party's face changed, and then let go, meaning to settle the score later.

Only then did Yan Conghu suppress the doubts in his heart, and then said to the butler beside him——

"Xue Qi, show them your arm."

Ye Chen's gaze was on Xue Qi, and he saw that the other party had taken off his butler's clothes, and then half of his white shirt, revealing his mutilated right arm.

The housekeeper Xue Qi was sent by Yan Conghu to perform a mission half a year ago, and when he came back, he was missing an arm.

And this arm was cut off by himself.

According to Xue Qi, if he hadn't acted decisively and acted quickly, he might not only have lost this arm, he might not even be able to save his life.

Ye Chen's eyes fell on Xue Qi's arm. It looked normal on the surface, and even the fracture that was cut at that time was restored, but the fracture was slightly blackened.

But it was this slightly blackened wound that prevented Xue Qi's arm from regenerating, nor could he install a prosthetic.

And I don't know if it's an illusion, but these black things seem to be still swimming around the broken part of Xue Qi's arm.

Ye Jiu stared at it for a while, then frowned——

"You should have bumped into something. This kind of creature is relatively small, but its vitality is very tenacious, and it eats human flesh and blood."

"You should be dead if this kind of thing gets into your body, but you are lucky. You reacted the moment they got in, and tried to force these things into your arm, and then it was like a gecko. Cut off the arm like a broken tail, right?"

"It's just obvious that you didn't break it clean, and you left a little 'tail'."

Xue Qi was taken aback for a moment, then a wry smile appeared on his face——

"The situation was urgent at the time, so I didn't think too much about it... The brothers who went on missions with me are all gone."

And he already reacted quite promptly, those who didn't react at the first time were all eaten up by that weird thing from the inside out, leaving only a piece of human skin.

This stimulated Xue Qi too much, and his arm was already disabled, so he retired altogether. Yan Conghu was worried that he would be hit too hard by the death of his teammates, so he transferred him here to be a housekeeper, trying to distract him with trivial matters. his attention.

Xue Qi glanced at Yan Conghu gratefully, and continued: "Since then, the general has tried many methods for me to regenerate my arm, but almost all of them failed."

"Of course." Ye Chen thought for a while, and then said——

"This kind of thing travels according to the route of your blood vessels, and now you have blocked this 'channel' in some way, so you can live in peace."

"But once you cut the flesh or regenerate the arm, and the blood is reconnected, then your death is not far away."

"That's it!" Xue Qi was shocked, seeing Ye Jiu's expression was different.

He knew that Yan Conghu had used his connections to invite the best doctors in the entire empire, and it took more than half a year of research to come to this conclusion.

Now the interstellar technology is very advanced, whether it is regeneration or artificial arms, it is almost seamless, but all of these must be connected to the nerves, which is equivalent to directly sentenced Xue Qi to death.

There are also mechanical arms that don't need to be connected to the nerves, but Xue Qi doesn't want them. The lack of a left and right hand is not particularly inconvenient for him who has been trained, and it will save trouble later.

"So, you came to me..." Hearing this, Ye Jiu already had some guesses about what they meant, but he still asked.

Yan Conghu spoke——

"Since you can see so much just from the wound, you must have already guessed about that thing."

Ye Zhu nodded——

"Zerg larvae."

Yan Conghu's pupils shrank. After Xue Qi told him, he had already made his own judgment in his heart, but what he said from Ye Jiu's mouth was undoubtedly more credible.

"Hey--"

Yan Conghu sighed heavily. This was the last fact he wanted to face, so he kept suppressing it and didn't tell anyone. Even Xue Qi was injured. He also claimed to be exposed to radiation, but now it is obvious I have to say...

"Thank you, I will tell the emperor about my findings and take measures as soon as possible."

Yan Conghu nodded, unwilling to get too entangled in this matter, but changed the topic——

"I heard from Sun Hao that you grew all these fruits?"

Ye Jiu nodded, there is nothing wrong with admitting it.

"Then I'll be cheeky, I hope you can provide us with a lot of fruit."

Ye Xiu's fruit is very popular among their upper class now, he is the first batch of people to taste the longan fruit, it is really fruitful.

So when Sun Haotuo entrusted him with his relationship, he took the lead and recommended Zi Yeguo to his younger brother. Yan Conghu was not interested in women at all because of his sexuality, and his younger brother was almost the continuation of the family blood. the only hope left.

Sure enough, it didn't disappoint him, but what surprised him even more was that after Xue Qi tasted one by chance, he found that it was actually effective for his wounds!

Although the effect was negligible, it could not be ignored, so Yan Conghu collected a large number of fruits for Xue Qi, and after accumulating them, the black inside Xue Qi's wound became lighter.

So Yan Conghu hurriedly called Ye Jiu over, and only then did several people meet now.

Ye Chen thought for a while, and he had guessed just now, the so-called honey for you, nectar for me, the fruit he grows has always been a deadly enemy with the Zerg, and it is not surprising that Xue Qi has this kind of performance.

He tentatively said: "Recently, I have planted a new variety called Thousand Magic Fruit. The effect should be better, but the price..."

Yan Conghu waved his hand: "I will charge as much as I have, the price is not a problem."

Moreover, he also has a business under his own banner, so he is not afraid of wasting too much fruit, and even the more the better.

"Then it's settled." Ye Jiu also had a good impression of the other party's boldness, and the two quickly discussed the details. As long as Ye Jiu brought the fruit and Xue Qi tried the effect, they could immediately make a decision and sign the contract .

"Xue Qi, go and ask the kitchen to serve the food and add another jug ​​of wine." Yan Conghu was very happy and insisted that the two of them stay for dinner.

The two couldn't resist each other, so they had to sit down.

Ye Chen was also very happy that he had negotiated such a large amount of business. During the dinner, he saw a potted plant beside the dining table, so he simply used the wood-type ability to instantly spawn it, then uprooted it, and finally turned the wood into a knife, carving out a potted plant. The same arm as Xue Qiyuan.

"One hand is still very inconvenient, this is for you, just stick it on your fracture."

Xue Qi took it over flattered, and then stuck it to the fracture. Suddenly, a strange feeling came over, as if the lost arm had returned.

He kept moving his wooden hands, and he couldn't put it down.

"If you don't need it, just take it off. There are also things that require high precision, such as mechs that cannot be manipulated."

"I see." Xue Qi's excitement subsided a little, yes, otherwise it would be too heaven-defying, but it was still enough to make him grateful to Ye Jiu.

"Beep beep-"

Ye Yue's optical brain suddenly rang. Hearing this sound, Ye Yue frowned, and Yan Conghu also narrowed his eyes.

Although this voice is very common to ordinary people, to Yan Conghu, he heard a special message transmission method that only the military would use.

This is indeed sent by Arthur through a special channel, unless Ye Yue's optical brain is not in hand, he will definitely receive it.

Ye Yue took a look, and his expression instantly became extremely ugly. Ye Chen felt an extremely strong killing intent from him.

He held Ye Yue's hand in a second, although he didn't know what happened, but this could give him strength.

Ye Yue let out a heavy breath, then wrapped Ye Jiu's hand in his, her tone could not stop apologizing——

"I'm sorry, something urgent happened and I have to go back to deal with it. I may not be able to be with you on the next trip."

As he spoke, he stuffed a card into Ye Jiu's hand: "It's fun, don't save me money."

Ye Jiu nodded, and put the card in decisively: "You go."

Although he is self-willed sometimes, he has always been clear about major issues. He can see that Ye Yue's thoughts are no longer here, and he is just trying to talk to him.

Although he didn't know what happened to make Ye Yue's mind flustered, but at this time, the first thing he did was to reassure Ye Yue.

"Thank you!" Ye Yue hugged Ye Jiu heavily, buried her head in the crescent of his neck as if trying to draw strength, and strode away after a while.

When he arrived at the door, he thought about the message sent by Arthur, and finally calmed down a bit, then he turned around with some hesitation, as if hesitating whether to say it, and finally he spoke——

"You found out about the Zerg, if you can, it's best to suppress it first, and don't report it to the emperor."

Yan Conghu carefully chewed his words, he was not stupid, he quickly understood the hidden meaning of Ye Yue's words, and was suddenly terrified——

"what do you mean?"
