259: Chapter 259 I'll Back You Up

"You brat!"

"You don't even care about your grandpa, always sticking close to Qingqing!"

"You ungrateful little rascal."

Huo Sixian had been completely immersed in reuniting with Ye Qingqing and hadn't had a chance to check the situation inside her space.

However, it was by sensing Ye Qingqing's space that Huo Sixian had managed to locate her position earlier.

But he never expected that Huo Cunsheng could now be brought into Ye Qingqing's space.

Moreover, it happened even when Ye Qingqing herself wasn't inside the space...

Seeing Huo Sixian still standing there dumbfounded made Huo Cunsheng even angrier.

He directly transformed into a grumpy old man.

Pointing a finger at Huo Sixian's nose, he scolded, "You good-for-nothing brat!"

"You really don't care about this old man at all!"

"I've been talking to you for so long, and you! You! You! You haven't even said a single word of concern for me!"

Only then did Huo Sixian blink his eyes. "Grandpa..."

Then, Huo Sixian wrapped his arms around Huo Cunsheng and pulled him into a hug.

"Grandpa, it's really great that you're okay..."

Seeing Huo Sixian's reaction, Huo Cunsheng was momentarily taken aback.

This was... the first time Huo Sixian had hugged him so warmly.

It actually left Huo Cunsheng stunned on the spot.

Huo Cunsheng raised his hands, intending to hug him back tightly, but then paused.

After all, Huo Cunsheng had never been overly intimate with Huo Sixian, and he wasn't quite used to it yet.

In the end, Huo Cunsheng raised his hand and lightly patted Huo Sixian's shoulder.

His voice was muffled and hoarse: "I'm fine."

Just a few simple words, but they made Huo Sixian's heart ache a little.

This was the closest Huo Cunsheng had been to him in a very long time.

It actually felt a bit unfamiliar.

Until Deng Jiayu and Pei Siyuan chimed in leisurely from the side, "Alright, alright, let's hurry up and get moving. We can talk about everything once we reach the new base. It's dangerous on the road."

Deng Jiayu's words weren't entirely false. It was dangerous, but because Ye Qingqing's strength was so formidable, there hadn't been much danger along the way.

Deng Jiayu was simply helping this old man, who valued his pride over his comfort, out of his predicament, seeing him at a loss.

After hearing Deng Jiayu's words, Huo Sixian finally regained some of his composure.

He asked Huo Cunsheng what had happened earlier.

Huo Cunsheng then sighed and cast a long, meaningful look towards Xiao Lü and Little Leaf.

Xiao Lü, currently sitting in the driver's seat, felt terrible all over, its plant body trembling incessantly.

If it weren't for the fact that it couldn't freely enter or leave Ye Qingqing's space, it really wanted to escape inside right now.

That way, it wouldn't have to be dragged out and criticized again.

As for Little Leaf, its reaction was quite similar to Xiao Lü's after hearing Huo Sixian's question.

However, Xiao Lü was sitting in the driver's seat, and the others' gazes couldn't quite see it clearly.

But Little Leaf was different.

Currently, Little Leaf was floating right beside Deng Jiayu; even if it wanted to escape, it couldn't.

It could only stiffly float in mid-air, not daring to move either.

But Ah Huang perked up when he heard Huo Sixian's words.

He started barking furiously at Little Leaf and Xiao Lü.

From the look of it, it seemed like he had suffered countless grievances at the hands of these two plants.

And at that moment, Huo Sixian crouched down and called Ah Huang over.

He placed his large hand on Ah Huang's dog head.

"Did Ah Huang suffer some grievances earlier? Tell me about it. I'll back you up."

The warm temperature from Huo Sixian's palm transmitted to the top of Ah Huang's head. Hearing Huo Sixian's voice, Ah Huang suddenly felt he had been too harsh on Huo Sixian before.

Ah Huang whimpered once, then proceeded to tattle on them without holding back.

He directly dragged Huo Sixian by the pant leg towards Xiao Lü's direction.

There was no other way; Little Leaf was floating too high.

At the moment, Ah Huang could only bully Xiao Lü.

When Ah Huang, dragging Huo Sixian by the pant leg, reached Xiao Lü's side, he even used his paw to vigorously scratch at the vines Xiao Lü had transformed.

Only then did Huo Sixian clearly see the green thing in front of him.

It was actually a green teru teru bozu.

However, the doll on the driver's seat was somewhat different from the one floating nearby.

After all, the doll in front of him could transform vines and even drive a car.

As for Xiao Lü, it trembled all over, just hoping Huo Sixian wouldn't see it.

The more Xiao Lü thought about it, the more scared it became, and its entire plant body started shaking.

Its voice stammered, "I... I..."

Huo Sixian was completely astonished.

"This thing can talk?"

Seeing this, a smile curled at the corner of Ye Qingqing's mouth. She plopped down into the passenger seat, I picked up the milk tea and took a sip..

"Not bad. But originally, it was because of them that Grandma and the others didn't join up with the main group."

As someone with a strong vengeful streak, Ye Qingqing naturally wouldn't help Xiao Lü and Little Leaf hide this matter.

So she straightforwardly told Huo Sixian everything that happened, leaving no detail out.

Along the way, she also introduced Xiao Hu and Xiao Guang to Huo Sixian.

At that moment, Xiao Hu and Xiao Guang sat extremely obediently in front of Huo Sixian.

They looked as docile as could be.

Seeing this, Ah Huang couldn't help but curl his lips into a scornful expression.

At the same time, Ah Huang was also grumbling silently in his heart.

He wanted to see what Huo Sixian's attitude would be.

If Huo Sixian started favoring the others just because there was more than one animal in the vehicle now, besides him, Ah Huang...

Then Ah Huang decided he still wouldn't like Huo Sixian.

While Ye Qingqing recounted what had happened during this period, she also instructed Xiao Lü to continue driving.

As for Leng Qingyue, although she didn't know the current situation, she could sense that the person shrouded in flames earlier posed no threat to Ye Qingqing.

After all, for such a long time, there had been no signs of a fight inside Ye Qingqing's vehicle.

And the vehicle had continued on its way.

So Leng Qingyue followed behind all the way.

Ye Qingqing sipped her milk tea in the passenger seat while recounting the experiences of this period.

Meanwhile, Deng Jiayu noticed that Huo Sixian had lost several pounds in just about a month.

His originally sharp-featured face now looked like his cheeks were sunken.

Although a slimmer face gives a man a chiseled jawline, in the eyes of an elder, it looked downright heartbreaking.

So Deng Jiayu directly stewed a chicken for Huo Sixian to nourish his body.

Although Huo Cunsheng was still huffing and puffing through his nose.

Nevertheless, he obediently assisted Deng Jiayu by her side.
