230: Chapter 23: Abilities Are Useless

After hearing this, Ye Qingqing didn't say anything more.

She just told Little Leaf and Little Green to hurry up.

There wasn't much to pack up here.

Everything was already on the recreational vehicle.

Once Ye Qingqing stored the recreational vehicle into her space, she was done.

Next, it was time to watch Little Leaf and Little Green's performance.

Little Leaf and Little Green walked dejectedly to Ye Qingqing's side.

Then they moved to an open space.

Suddenly, green light emanated from Little Green and Little Leaf's bodies.

They immediately took root in the open ground.

Within seconds, they grew massive.

Then, several vines extended from Little Leaf and Little Green, quickly wrapping around Ye Qingqing, Deng Jiayu, and the others.

Even Ah Huang was wrapped in vines.

Speaking of which, Ah Huang had often bullied those two vines during this time.

After all, Little Leaf and Little Green had been bullied quite badly by Ah Huang before.

So, Little Leaf and Little Green were feeling quite petty right now.

They took a sneaky little revenge on Ah Huang.

Though it was called revenge...

...it was really just that the vines were wrapped a bit tighter around him than the others.

After all, Little Leaf and Little Green didn't dare to overstep.

But to Ah Huang, this level of pressure felt like nothing at all.

In fact, since Ah Huang wasn't being tormented by Little Leaf and Little Green this time, he was particularly happy while flying through the air.

He looked just like a silly dog.

Little Leaf and Little Green were very fast.

After all, time was tight and the task was heavy.

One slip-up and they would be struck by Ye Qingqing's lightning.

Little Green and Little Leaf were certainly not gluttons for punishment.

So, Little Green and Little Leaf were now putting all their effort into surging upwards.

Taking Ye Qingqing and the others along with them.

However, Little Green and Little Leaf had been injured after all; three seconds was indeed their limit.

Furthermore, this underground cave was not shallow.

As Ye Qingqing ascended, she roughly estimated it to be about ten stories high.

To climb so high in such a short amount of time...

If Little Green and Little Leaf's speed hadn't been so steady, Ye Qingqing feared that Deng Jiayu and the others' hearts wouldn't have been able to take it.

Fortunately, Little Leaf and Little Green had received care from Deng Jiayu before.

Their movements toward the elderly people were very gentle.

The three seconds passed quickly.

Little Leaf and Little Green were now so scared their legs were turning to jelly.

Of course, they didn't have legs right now; it was their vine roots that were going soft.

Ye Qingqing could also sense that Little Leaf and Little Green couldn't hold on any longer.

But at this moment, Ye Qingqing and the others were still dozens of meters above the ground.

Ye Qingqing let out a silent sigh.

Then, the Wood-element ability erupted from her hands.

A soft green halo immediately enveloped Little Leaf and Little Green.

Initially, Little Leaf and Little Green were dismissive of this power.

But gradually, they suddenly realized that this power was actually helping them recover!

Moreover, it was a very gentle and nourishing power.

It was likely because Ye Qingqing's Superpower had originally come from Little Leaf and Little Green.

Thus, the buff to Little Green and Little Leaf was very significant.

The moment the green light enveloped Little Leaf and Little Green...

...Little Leaf and Little Green's shrinking bodies suddenly became massive again.

Furthermore, the speed of their upward growth increased.

Little Leaf and Little Green were even shocked.

Under the enhancement of Ye Qingqing's Superpower...

...Little Leaf and Little Green's power was even stronger than it had been at their peak.

At this moment, Little Leaf and Little Green suddenly felt that they had to re-evaluate Ye Qingqing.

In fact, Little Leaf and Little Green had always felt that Ye Qingqing's Ability was lacking.

But this time, they truly felt Ye Qingqing's strength for the first time.

Putting aside the space and the strange supplies Ye Qingqing possessed, just her current Ability alone made Little Leaf and Little Green look at her in a new light.

Meanwhile, Ye Qingqing was feeling very displeased with Little Leaf and Little Green.

She felt they were just two deadweights.

When it came to Ability, their Ability was useless.

When it came to obedience, they had none.

Their only use was having brought the Wood-element ability to Ye Qingqing.

With the enhancement from Ye Qingqing's Ability, Little Leaf and Little Green's speed became extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Qingqing and the others were instantly back on the surface.

When Ye Qingqing and the others saw the light again, their eyes felt a bit unadjusted.

But soon, Ye Qingqing heard a violent vibration in her ears.

The sound was exactly like the one when the Black Worms had emerged before.

Ye Qingqing couldn't help but feel that Little Green and Little Leaf were definitely tricking her.

In fact, even when Ye Qingqing and the others had reached the surface, Little Green and Little Leaf still hadn't appeared!

"Little Green!"

"Little Leaf!"

Ye Qingqing's voice was now a full-on shout.

Furthermore, Ye Qingqing immediately sent Deng Jiayu and the others into her space.

Poor four-hour time limit—it had already started ticking away before they even set off.

As for Ah Huang, Ye Qingqing left him outside.

After all, those Black Worms were afraid of fire.

With Ah Huang there, at least there was some protection.

Meanwhile, Little Green and Little Leaf were still in shock underground.

After all, their main bodies were rooted deep underground.

Although the vines above could sense the situation on the surface...

...Ye Qingqing had withdrawn her Wood-element ability the moment she landed on the ground.

She didn't give Little Green and Little Leaf even the slightest chance to absorb more.

So, Little Leaf and Little Green were still underground.

They had no idea what was happening on the surface.

Ye Qingqing was seething with anger.

Seeing that those Black Worms were about to swarm over...

...Ye Qingqing quickly took Ah Huang into her space to avoid unnecessary losses.

At the same time, she also pulled those two vines from underground out with her.

The moment Little Leaf and Little Green entered the space, they turned back into those two little green figures, floating in the space.

As soon as the two little figures entered, Ye Qingqing pointed at their noses and began to scold them, "Didn't you say your aura could hold off those Black Worms!"

"What were you doing just now!"

After Ye Qingqing's roar...

...Little Leaf and Little Green finally snapped out of it.

A wave of lingering fear gradually rose in their hearts.

"Mas... Master..."

"We didn't mean to."

"It might be because our main bodies were damaged, so when we were on the surface, those Black Worms couldn't sense our aura at all, which is why they came running."

"Master... we were wrong."

Little Green and Little Leaf had now developed a sophisticated set of methods for begging Ye Qingqing for mercy.

So now, they spoke one sentence after another, sounding quite convincing.

Ye Qingqing stood with her hands on her hips, scrutinizing Little Green and Little Leaf from head to toe.

At the critical moment, Deng Jiayu stood up again.

"Alright, alright, they didn't do it on purpose. Qingqing..."

Ye Qingqing gave Little Green and Little Leaf another meaningful look.
