229: Chapter 229 Human Nature Is Hard to Change

One had to realize how wonderful it would be for Ye Qingqing if the time Deng Jiayu and the others could spend in the space could be accumulated.

On the side, Little Leaf and Little Green clicked their tongues as they watched Ye Qingqing's behavior.

"I've never seen such a foolish Baby."

However, in the next second, Little Leaf and Little Green were both struck by electricity simultaneously.

Little Leaf and Little Green dared not speak another word.

They simply shut their mouths.

Ye Qingqing, who was in a good mood, didn't bother with the two plants at all.

She flashed directly out of the space.

She prepared to tell Deng Jiayu and the others the good news.

"Grandma!"

"Grandpa!"

"Grandpa Huo!"

At this moment, the others were still sleeping in the recreational vehicle.

But hearing Ye Qingqing's voice, they immediately poked their heads out of the recreational vehicle.

None of the people present were fools; they knew what was happening the moment they saw Ye Qingqing's reaction.

However, the old folks were all willing to play along with Ye Qingqing's performance.

"What's wrong, Girl Ye?" Deng Jiayu asked Ye Qingqing with a kind smile on her face.

A brilliant smile curled on the corners of Ye Qingqing's mouth.

"Grandma, the time in the space can be accumulated!"

Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of surprise, which then turned into joy.

Ye Qingqing could now be certain of how things were progressing.

For the next few days, Ye Qingqing explored this underground cave with Deng Jiayu and the others.

During these days, the Black Worms indeed did not appear.

In fact, this underground cave was very safe.

Ye Qingqing directly called out Little Leaf and Little Green.

She forced them to lead the way, taking Ye Qingqing and the others on a tour of the place.

Little Leaf and Little Green were extremely disgruntled, but because they couldn't disobey Ye Qingqing's orders, they could only follow along resignedly.

In their hearts, they had already cursed Ye Qingqing many times.

However, whenever Little Leaf and Little Green cursed Ye Qingqing in their hearts, they would be struck by lightning.

Gradually, Little Leaf and Little Green accepted their fate.

After all, plants were just plants; if they were struck a few more times, they would be finished.

After all, Ye Qingqing's use for them was already complete; even if they died, it wouldn't affect her much. After all, Ye Qingqing's Superpower had already been activated.

So now, whenever Little Leaf and Little Green saw Ye Qingqing, they held the mindset that if they didn't listen to her, they would drop dead.

Once the accumulated time in the space reached 4 hours, Ye Qingqing felt that this amount of time should be enough to avoid any sudden situations on the road.

Anyway, as long as Ye Qingqing was also in the space, time would not pass.

If they truly encountered some unavoidable danger,

Then Ye Qingqing could just hide in the space when the time came.

So, when the day finally came for Ye Qingqing and the others to set off, they were actually very excited.

Because they were impatient to see the current construction status of the base.

If the situation allowed, Deng Jiayu and the others even felt that this underground cave was actually more suitable for human habitation.

Of course, that was assuming no other accidents occurred for now.

"Grandma, is your physical condition okay now?"

Over the past few days, Deng Jiayu and the others had actually recovered their health through rest.

But to prevent any accidents, Ye Qingqing still asked.

After all, the physical state of the elderly couldn't compare to that of young people.

In Ye Qingqing's space, there were actually no helicopters right now.

All movement on the road, everything, could only be done by car.

"Little Leaf, is it true what you said—that once we reach the surface, as long as we have the cover of your aura, those Black Worms won't swarm us?"

Ye Qingqing grabbed Little Leaf by the neck, asking in a threatening manner.

Little Leaf was in so much pain that its entire body was trembling.

"Yes... yes... yes... Master, please stop pinching me..."

Little Leaf spoke as if it were begging Ye Qingqing for mercy.

Ye Qingqing nodded with satisfaction.

"Fine, I'll believe you for once."

"If you dare lie to me, you're dead, you hear me?"

Ye Qingqing threatened Little Leaf.

But Little Leaf was silently grumbling in its heart.

"How would I dare lie?"

"If I had lied, wouldn't I have been struck by lightning long ago?"

Little Leaf had been tormented quite a bit by Ye Qingqing over the past few days and had long since lost its previous temper.

Deng Jiayu stepped in to smooth things over from the side.

"Alright, alright, Qingqing, don't make things difficult for Little Leaf and the other."

"Little Leaf and the other are just children."

"Just teach them well."

That's right, in Deng Jiayu's eyes, Little Leaf and Little Green were just two children who had no one to guide them.

No matter what they had done before, in Deng Jiayu's view, as long as they were taught properly, there was no one she couldn't teach.

Ye Qingqing, however, did not think so.

She had always felt that human nature was hard to change.

Let alone a plant.

Ye Qingqing had seen too much of the dark side of the Post-Apocalyptic World.

So she didn't believe for a second that Little Leaf and Little Green could change.

At most, they were just putting on a good front.

Therefore, Ye Qingqing's attitude toward Little Leaf and Little Green had never been particularly good.

However, Ye Qingqing wouldn't just beat them to death all at once either.

After all, no one knew what might happen in the future.

"Fine, I'll give them a temporary chance to turn over a new leaf."

"Take us to the surface."

Little Leaf and Little Green were trembling all over, knowing Deng Jiayu would protect them.

So they put on a fully aggrieved expression.

But in Ye Qingqing's eyes, these were just two plants that knew how to exploit loopholes!

They weren't worth any of Ye Qingqing's sympathy at all.

So, Ye Qingqing directly gave Little Green and Little Leaf a look.

Little Leaf and Little Green didn't dare to be slack for a moment now.

But they still said tremulously,

"That... Master... our original bodies were damaged too severely before, so the time we can remain transformed is very short now."

Ye Qingqing glanced sideways at Little Leaf and Little Green.

"How long? Give me a time."

"3... 3 seconds..."

Little Green stammered out the time, then immediately hid behind Deng Jiayu, fearing that if it were a step too slow, it would be dragged out and beaten by Ye Qingqing.

Sure enough, Ye Qingqing's mood soured after hearing that.

"Useless trash."

It wasn't surprising that Ye Qingqing's attitude toward Little Leaf and Little Green was poor.

After all, they had a prior record.

Being kind to your enemy is being cruel to yourself; this saying applied perfectly to Little Green and Little Leaf.

"Then, just be as quick as possible."

"Hold on for as long as you can, understood?"

Little Leaf and Little Green hung their heads dejectedly, their heads lowered very low.

They looked like aggrieved little daughters-in-law.

Seeing this look, Deng Jiayu sighed silently in her heart.

"Alright, Girl Ye, let's head up quickly. We still don't know what's going on with Huo Sixian and the others; what if something has happened?"
