49 Global Evolution
Cong Xia wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at Abu's legs with smooth, newly regenerated skin. He let out a sigh of relief.
"Abu!" Zhuang Yao shouted excitedly, pouncing on Abu. Abu swung his tail in front of him, and Zhuang Yao skillfully grabbed onto the large tail as Abu flung him onto his back.
Zhuang Yao joyfully rolled around on Abu's back, laughing and shouting, "Abu, Abu, you're finally better, you're finally better." Zhuang Yao slid down along Abu's back and then climbed up again, grabbing onto its fur, thoroughly enjoying himself.
Abu watched him gently, occasionally sticking out its tongue to lick the slightly itchy skin on its leg.
"Abu, get up and run, quickly!" Abu obediently stood up, leaped, and jumped over the high villa wall. Zhuang Yao's excited shouts could be heard from afar. At this moment, he truly looked like a child.
Cong Xia smiled and said, "Finally cured, but I wonder if this kid will keep his promise."
Liu Fengyu scoffed, "If he dares to go back on his word, we'll empty his lair. Just a cat, it can't do anything to us."
Cheng Tianbi carefully examined Cong Xia's face. "Are you alright?"
Cong Xia shook his arm. "I'm fine, really. I've absorbed a lot of energy this time. I just feel a bit tired, but everything else is normal. Those geckos really helped us a lot."
"How much residual energy do you feel you have now?"
"At least... about thirty to forty percent."
Cheng Tianbi finally felt relieved. "Let's go inside. We've been busy all day and haven't eaten."
Liu Fengyu also agreed, "Yes, let's eat up all his food, then pack everything that can be moved onto the car. We're not afraid of him reneging on his promise."
Cong Xia smiled. "I don't think he'll go back on his word. He'll come with us."
"Oh, Xia, why are you so certain? That kid never tells the truth."
"There are many reasons. For example, the geckos are overbreeding, and it's only a matter of time before this city becomes uninhabitable for humans. Furthermore, he's very interested in things like the 'Cambrian consciousness' and the 'Puppet Jade.' The answers to these things can probably only be found in Beijing, by interacting with the brain domain evolved individuals that have gathered there from all over the country. Today, those two people mentioned that Hainan and Taiwan, which were once regarded as the last havens, are unreachable due to large sea creatures blocking their way. Therefore, Beijing is the final choice for everyone. All the most outstanding brains, the most powerful evolved individuals, and the latest information will emerge in Beijing. He will definitely come with us."
The two nodded, finding this analysis reasonable.
Liu Fengyu curled his lips. "It's really troublesome to bring this little brat along on the journey."
Cong Xia patted Liu Fengyu's shoulder and said with a slightly serious tone, "Liu Ge, I know you don't trust him, and we can't trust someone who lies through their teeth, especially a child who is smarter than the three of us combined. But he is a rare evolved individual in the brain domain. Even without those two people's words, we can guess the dangers along this over 2,000-kilometer journey. Without him, relying solely on the three of us charging recklessly, the outcome would be highly uncertain."
Cheng Tianbi spoke solemnly, "We will definitely arrive safely in Beijing. Those two people said we have too little information, and their analysis was precisely because they have too little information."
Liu Fengyu snapped his fingers, "That's right. We not only have Cheng Tianbi and me, but also an evolved individual in the brain domain, the cat, and you." Liu Fengyu put his arm around Cong Xia's shoulder and jokingly said, "You, the nanny, are quite useful. From now on, if we get injured or run out of strength, we don't need to worry. Oh, by the way, I mentioned earlier that I would reward you with a kiss. Well, here's your reward. My kiss is valuable, you know." Liu Fengyu leaned in to kiss Cong Xia.
Cong Xia chuckled and didn't avoid it.
Cheng Tianbi reached out and directly grabbed Liu Fengyu's neck.
He pressed his thumb against Liu Fengyu's major artery, while his other four fingers pressed against the cervical vertebrae. If Liu Fengyu were an ordinary person, a little force from Cheng Tianbi would at least leave him paralyzed for life. Of course, Liu Fengyu was not an ordinary person, but this move still carried a threat.
Liu Fengyu looked at him askew and asked, "What are you doing?"
Cheng Tianbi coldly replied, "Nowadays, a kiss is the least valuable thing."
"Are you jealous? What's wrong with a kiss? I'm rewarding him for being useful."
Cheng Tianbi tightened his grip suddenly.
Liu Fengyu provocatively stared at him, and digestive fluid began to seep from his pores.
Cheng Tianbi felt his skin getting hot and quickly released his hand.
Liu Fengyu's remark, "Are you jealous?"
The question made Cong Xia blush, and he awkwardly tried to defuse the situation, "Wha-what's going on?"
Liu Fengyu sneered, "I wanted to give you a kiss, and your soldier brother got jealous and prevented me. Then he choked me. I've made it clear, can't you understand?"
Cheng Tianbi gave him a cold glare and turned to walk into the house.
Cong Xia anxiously said, "Liu Ge, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"How am I talking nonsense? If not, why did he choke me when you were fine with it?" Liu Fengyu gestured with his middle finger towards Cheng Tianbi's back. "Idiot, you deserve to be single for the rest of your life."
Cong Xia felt his face burning. He also wanted to know what happened with Cheng Tianbi just now. It couldn't be... What did that gesture mean?
Liu Fengyu glanced at him and said, "Oh my, look at you blushing. That's why I hate dealing with inexperienced guys. They're so troublesome. Anyway, since fate has brought us together from afar, let me give you some advice. Whether it's seducing a man or a woman, you can ask me for guidance. Your big brother Liu is experienced in reading people."
Cong Xia was taken aback and couldn't help but raise his voice, "W-what are you talking about!"
Liu Fengyu blinked his captivating eyes, "Why would I be talking nonsense? You like your soldier brother, don't you?"
"H-how could I... I couldn't possibly... I..." Cong Xia stuttered and couldn't find his words. He couldn't believe that Liu Fengyu could say such shocking things.
He and Cheng Tianbi were both men. Although he had never even held a girl's hand in his life, it didn't mean he liked men.
Did he... like men?
Cong Xia was momentarily stunned by his own question.
Liu Fengyu rubbed her chin and squinted at him, "Yes, think carefully, recall your every interaction with your soldier brother. Did your heart beat faster? Did you worry about him? You like him, even that little brat could see it." Liu Fengyu rolled her eyes, "Inexperienced guys are really troublesome."
Cong Xia couldn't accept this information at once. He felt like he was about to explode. For the first time, he became impatient with Liu Fengyu, "Liu Ge, stop talking nonsense! It's impossible. I don't want to talk to you anymore! I'm going to cook!" Cong Xia turned and walked into the house.
Liu Fengyu whistled, "If you're still thinking about that kiss I promised, feel free to come find me anytime. Except in the middle of the night. You're not my type."
As he watched Cong Xia's figure disappear through the door, Liu Fengyu chuckled, "Entertainment, oh, entertainment. Life lacks entertainment."
At this moment, Abu returned with Zhuang Yao in tow. The big cat landed next to him, causing the ground to tremble silently.
Zhuang Yao asked, "What are you doing?"
Liu Fengyu glanced at him, "Sunbathing."
Zhuang Yao shrugged, "Abu has recovered today, and I'm glad. I'll reluctantly let you come up and play for a while."
Liu Fengyu strained his neck, unable to see Zhuang Yao, and could only hear his voice, "Really?"
"No kidding."
Liu Fengyu asked, "How do I go up?"
"Abu, let him up."
Abu lowered his tail.
Liu Fengyu hugged the tail, and with a strong flick, he was thrown onto Abu's back.
Abu obediently followed Liu Fengyu's command and jumped onto the roof. Liu Fengyu laughed excitedly, enjoying the exhilarating ride on Abu's back. From up there, he had a commanding view of everything, feeling a sense of grandeur as if he could conquer the world.
Liu Fengyu held onto Abu's fur tightly and shouted with excitement, "Yo! Abu, jump to the house!"
"Don't give orders to my cat!"
