Chapter 23: In the Future, My Whole Body is a Treasure Chapter 23 \nRen Sheng stared at Zhao Lingyu, feeling like his hair was going to stand on its end.\nHe had just thought that he could pretend to be a plant ability user and live a good life, but he didnât expect that he had already revealed so many flaws.
If Zhao Lingyu knew his identity, would he want to eat him just like those who had chased him before?
For a moment, Ren Sheng almost wanted to turn around and run away.
However, just at this time, Zhao Lingyu took his hand.
Zhao Lingyuâs hands were hot and even at this time, it made Ren Sheng feel very secure. âYou, will you eat me?â
Eat him? Zhao Lingyu looked at Ren Sheng in puzzlement and suddenly his thoughts became crooked. But soon, he realized that Ren Shengâs âeatâ was meant literally.
But if he meant it literally, how could he eat Ren Sheng?
âDo you want to raise me just like Master? I can give you a little to eat, just donât eat all of me.â Ren Sheng looked at Zhao Lingyu pitifully. His master was very kind to him, but would occasionally scavenge some ginseng seeds or blood from him.
Zhao Lingyu was more and more sure that Ren Shengâs âeatâ was literally eating and for some reason, he suddenly thought of the ginseng he had looked up before. âYouâre a ginseng? That kind of plant from the ancient earth?â
âYou know?â Ren Sheng subconsciously asked and after asking, he realized that his mouth slipped. At this time, it would no longer be useful even if he covered his mouth, so he simply told the truth. âThatâs right, Iâm a ginseng. Iâm a ginseng spirit! You⊠you canât eat me!â
Ginseng spirit? What is this stuff? Zhao Lingyu had some doubts, but he also knew that Ren Sheng was not human. He subconsciously wanted to ask more questions for clarification, but suddenly realized that the small hand he held in his hand was trembling.\nRen Sheng was scared.
Noticing this, Zhao Lingyuâs heart softened and he couldnât ask any more questions. Instead he spontaneously took Ren Sheng in his arms and said, âDonât worry, I wonât eat you⊠What was the medicine you gave me before?â
While making this promise, it suddenly occurred to Zhao Lingyu that Ren Shengâs medicine seemed to have been taken out of thin air.
This kid obviously was not carrying anything with him, yet he took out the elixir to save him and his father. Thinking of the effect of the ginseng and his verbal promise to Ren Sheng that he wouldnât eat him, Zhao Lingyu suddenly had a bad premonition.
âYou really wonât eat me?â Held by Zhao Lingyu and hearing the first half of the sentence, Ren Sheng smiled with joy. âI wonât eat you.â Zhao Lingyu made another promise and asked again, âThe first time we met, what was the spiritual medicine you gave me?â At the time, Ren Sheng fed him mouth-to-mouth even though he was clearly not carrying anything with him.
âItâs my bloodâŠâ Ren Sheng said this sentence only halfway and then glared at Zhao Lingyu. âI saved you from death and you said you were mine! You canât eat me!â
Zhao Lingyu had thought of many possibilities, but he never thought that the so-called miraculous medicine he had eaten would be Ren Shengâs blood.
He couldnât even promise Ren Sheng again that he would not eat him for a while, because he had already eaten Ren Sheng. Ren Sheng had fed him many times before and after a few days, he had even asked Ren Sheng to give this medicine to his fatherâŠ
For the first time, Zhao Lingyu discovered that he was an asshole.
The energy in Zhao Lingyuâs body was suddenly disordered and the refined soil that was locked inside him also leaked out a bit. Ren Sheng subconsciously hugged him and couldnât help but stiffen.
Zhao Lingyu was suddenly like this, it wasnât because he wanted to go back on his word after knowing the effect of his blood, right?\nâZhao Lingyu, itâs not cost effective to eat me as a whole, itâs better for you to feed me and eat slowlyâŠâ
âIâm sorry.â Zhao Lingyu hugged Ren Sheng. Ren Sheng saved him and he was grateful. He also had long ago vowed to always protect him, but now it seemed that he had done far from enough.
âHuh?â Ren Sheng looked at Zhao Lingyu in puzzlement.
âDonât give me your blood ever again.â Zhao Lingyu touched Ren Shengâs cheek with his own.
âI just gave you my blood once. After that you ate pieces of my root and ginseng seeds.â Ren Sheng said as he rubbed his face against Zhao Lingyuâs.
âRoot?â Zhao Lingyu was stunned.
âYes, it will take me thousands of years to regrow it.â Ren Sheng stretched out his little finger towards Zhao Lingyu. âItâs part of this, but itâs all right now.â
âFoolâŠâ Zhao Lingyu didnât know what to say for a moment. Didnât this guy have any sense of defense? He clearly knew his own situation but he still gave blood, roots and other things to someone else to eat.
âIâm not stupid! Iâm smart enough to give you ginseng seeds!â Ren Sheng keenly noticed that Zhao Lingyuâs mood was a bit off and added quickly.
Ginseng seeds? Zhao Lingyu suddenly thought that Ren Sheng had mentioned âmy childâ when he was giving him medicine and his face changed.
Ren Sheng only thought he didnât know what ginseng seeds were so he now explained with flair. âGinseng seeds are the seeds I grew. I only bloom once every few hundred years and it takes another few hundred years for it to bear fruit so itâs very precious!â
\nIt turned out that it was because he had the refined soil in his body that Ren Sheng was so fond of sticking to him. Knowing this, Zhao Lingyu couldnât help but feel a little lost.
But after feeling lost, he could not help laughing. If it was anyone else, he wouldnât tell them about refined soil. After all, doing so would make him more grateful, but this kid was too honest!
âDidnât it ever occur to you that if you wanted refined soil from my body it would be more convenient if I die first?â Zhao Lingyu smiled and asked. Ren Sheng said that he was trying to get close to him for refined soil, but in the end he made himself unable to absorb the refined soil which was also a good thing.
âYou canât die!â Ren Sheng answered angrily, only to get tangled up. âWhy didnât I think⊠Iâm actually pretty smart, if you die, I might be caught and eaten by someone else!â
âRight, Ren Sheng is the smartest.â Zhao Lingyuâs mood somehow became good.
âSo you have to raise me, right? Now I canât absorb much nutrition, so I want 50, no, 100 bowls of nutritious meals! I also need you to dump them in the bathtub so I can get a good soakâŠâ
Soak in a nutritious meal? Nutritious meals have always been considered disgusting by aristocrats, did this kid know that?
Even in the army, he often ate nutritious food, but he didnât like the ugly and unpalatable paste. No, if it was soaked with Ren ShengâŠ
Imagining that scenario, Zhao Lingyu couldnât help but swallow his saliva.
