Earth, Lu Wanqing watched the small sprout catalyzed by the peach pit grow little by little, finally becoming a palm-sized sapling.
Cui Cui's face was already very pale, and she had clearly exerted all her strength.
"Okay, you don't need to push yourself too hard. We can continue catalyzing next time," Lu Wanqing reminded Cui Cui.
Cui Cui finally stopped at these words, and she let out a heavy sigh. Using her ability had been so tiring.
"It's still so small," Cui Cui said, looking at the tiny sapling with a hint of disappointment.
Her ability was too weak. Although she could catalyze plants, she could only catalyze such a small amount, which was almost useless.
Perhaps when she was with her mother, Cui Cui's heart was soft and unguarded, so her thoughts were almost all written on her face.
Lu Wanqing looked at the little one's expression and smiled, comforting her, "It's okay, Cui Cui is already very capable."
"Cui Cui only recently awakened her ability, and she hasn't practiced before. For her first practice, she was able to catalyze the peach pit and make it grow into a small sapling. That's already very impressive," Lu Wanqing said.
Cui Cui's eyes were bright as she looked at her mother.
Lu Wanqing petted Cui Cui's head.
Cui Cui couldn't help but look at the big eyes again. She knew that Wei Xingzhou must be watching her through the live stream.
"Wei Xingzhou, I have abilities. I can catalyze plants," Cui Cui thought, and couldn't help but call out to the big eyes.
She had become very capable and had a new skill. Cui Cui inexplicably wanted to tell Wei Xingzhou herself. Although Wei Xingzhou was probably watching the live stream and already knew, she still wanted to tell him directly.
On the other side, in the cave, when Wei Xingzhou heard Cui Cui's words, his eyes immediately welled up with tears, and then the corners of his mouth uncontrollably curved upwards. He was so happy.
Wei Xingzhou couldn't contain his joy. He only had Zhong Li Feiyu with him, so he couldn't help but show off to Zhong Li Feiyu, "Zhong Li Feiyu, did you see that? Cui Cui was just talking to me. Cui Cui is truly the best. Don't think she always gives me a hard time; Cui Cui absolutely loves her daddy, hehe."
With the two syllables of "hehe," Wei Xingzhou's tone was filled with unconcealable pride.
Zhong Li Feiyu was speechless, but he still nodded, "Mm."
Wei Yuncui's awakened ability was indeed very powerful, and so was Lu Wanqing...
Zhong Li Feiyu stared at the two people in the live stream, his resolve growing stronger. No matter what, he had to protect the lives of Lu Wanqing and Cui Cui at all costs, not only because of their special relationship but also because of their extraordinary abilities.
From the ancient Earth era to the present, Earth had mutated for over three thousand years. For these three thousand years, humanity had never stopped repenting, nor had they stopped researching, wanting to find a way to eliminate Earth's pollution and restore its vitality. However, so many people, after trying for so many years, couldn't find any solution.
In the vast universe, it seemed that nothing could resolve Earth's disaster.
However, now, Lu Wanqing and Wei Yuncui had given everyone hope. Both Lu Wanqing and Wei Yuncui's unexpectedly awakened abilities had the potential to change the situation of Earth's pollution.
Even just imagining in their minds what it would be like for Earth to regain its greenness and vitality made them unable to help but feel excited.
Therefore, no matter what, Lu Wanqing and Wei Yuncui could not die. They were now the most important people in the entire interstellar era. Even if they had to go to war with the insectoids, they would fight with all their might to protect Lu Wanqing and Wei Yuncui.
The sky had completely darkened. Lu Wanqing took Cui Cui back to the cave.
The spatial warp they had just picked up contained a basin and a towel.
Lu Wanqing took out a basin, used her ability to conjure a basin of water, and then took the towel, placing it in the basin.
"Do you want to take a bath?" Lu Wanqing asked Cui Cui.
Lu Wanqing remembered that Cui Cui was a very vain girl. But since coming to Earth, due to the inconvenience, they hadn't bathed for a long time. Cui Cui must have been very uncomfortable, right?
"Can I?" Cui Cui asked nervously, her eyes full of expectation.
Lu Wanqing glanced at the big eyes next to them and took out a piece of clothing from the spatial warp that she wasn't wearing yet, covering the big eyes.
With the camera covered, they could bathe.
When Cui Cui saw her mother cover the camera, she knew she could bathe. She smiled at her mommy, a little shy.
Lu Wanqing smiled and said, "Hurry up and wash."
"Okay," Cui Cui quickly agreed.
It wasn't exactly a bath, but just using a wet towel to wipe her body, cleaning off the sweat and dirt, and then changing into clean clothes.
However, even so, it was much more comfortable than before.
Cui Cui took a long time to finish bathing. Lu Wanqing handed her a set of clean clothes from the spatial warp. Cui Cui carefully put them on.
The small child, wearing an adult's work uniform, looked inexplicably cute.
Lu Wanqing took the water Cui Cui had used for bathing outside and poured it onto the nearby plants, including the little peach tree sapling that Cui Cui had catalyzed with her ability. Then she turned back inside.
Lu Wanqing conjured another basin of water with her ability. She also took off her clothes and meticulously wiped her entire body with a wet towel before changing into clean clothes from the spatial warp.
After changing, she felt much refreshed.
It was a pity that it was dark outside, and the cave was not like home. Washing hair was not convenient. If she washed her hair, the water would spill out, wetting the cave. Otherwise, she would want to wash her hair right now.
"We'll wash our hair tomorrow, outside," Lu Wanqing said to Cui Cui, thinking.
Both she and Cui Cui had long hair. They hadn't washed their hair for several days, and it was now very greasy and uncomfortable.
Cui Cui's eyes lit up again, happily saying, "Okay!"
Lu Wanqing smiled, went to pour out the bathwater, and then returned, saying to Cui Cui, "Alright, Mommy will keep watch first. You go to sleep."
Cui Cui was already very sleepy. She had only slept for half the night yesterday, and she had stayed up the latter half of the night keeping watch for her mother. Moreover, using her ability to catalyze the peach pit had completely depleted her mental energy. She was very tired now. Hearing her mother's words, her upper and lower eyelids seemed to refuse to stay open, and they started to fight.
"Goodnight, Cui Cui," Lu Wanqing said gently.
Cui Cui heard her and wanted to reply, but she was too tired and had no strength. Her eyes closed like this, and she fell asleep.
Lu Wanqing looked at the sleeping child with a heartache. Cui Cui was truly exhausted today.
She was also very tired and somewhat sleepy.
But she couldn't sleep yet.
She didn't know what was outside. She couldn't guarantee her and Cui Cui's safety and had to take turns keeping watch.
Lu Wanqing tried to stay awake, thinking like this.
Fortunately, after enduring the initial period, she didn't feel as tired later on.
It wasn't until the middle of the night that Cui Cui naturally woke up and urged her to switch watches.
Lu Wanqing was very tired and didn't refuse Cui Cui. She agreed and went to lie down inside to rest.
She also needed to maintain her energy so that if an accident occurred, she would have the ability to protect Cui Cui. Otherwise, Cui Cui was so young and would have difficulty protecting herself.
