The Arrival of Wei Kan; Chenchen Was Suffering

A few black vehicles were parked at the gate, and several men in military uniforms got off. At the sight of the Blood Vine that had crawled all over the wall, Wei Kan narrowed his eyes, and Lin Xian looked resentful. They already knew this plant's function, as their last two invisibility superfunction possessors had been killed here.

"Don't say anything stupid when we get inside!"

Before they came here, they had notified Gu Mingxuan on the phone. Standing at the gate, Wei Kan shot Lin Xian a warning glance. The supplies they had lost were of a large amount and hard to get. Only a few people in the base had the ability to snatch the supplies before they arrived. Even if some people could pull that off, they would need a lot of manpower to move that many supplies. After a thorough investigation, Yun Che became their prime suspect for two reasons. Firstly, he was on holiday both times when the supplies were snatched. Secondly, he had powerful combat power and a Space with large capacity, which suggested that he could snatch and move the supplies on his own.

Having come to a conclusion, they had no choice but to put aside their pride and come here. The two batches of supplies were of a large amount, and if they couldn't retrieve them, they would need to replenish the public warehouse of the base from their own pocket, which would be a significant loss for them.

Lin Xian knew that Wei Kan was not satisfied with his recent performance. If he hadn't fought for the chance, Wei Kan wouldn't even have brought him here. When Wei Kan warned him, he didn't dare to say anything. He only looked down and clenched his fists secretly.

"General Wei, welcome. This way, please."

The gate was opened from inside. Instead of stepping out to greet them, Yu Wenqing only made an inviting gesture. This seemed disrespectful to Wei Kan and his men, but they didn't dare to say anything as they needed something from these people.

Wei Kan secretly took a deep breath and tried to get inside. However, as soon as he lifted one foot, the vines on the wall started moving. Everyone hissed in fear, and Wei Kan drew back his foot hastily. Yu Wenqing reassured them with a smile, "Relax. As long as you don't get too close, they won't attack you."

'Do you think we're idiots?'

Wei Kan and his people complained secretly. They were not near the vines just now, but the vines already started moving towards them. If they got inside the house, would they still be able to get out alive? Where the hell did Chaoyang get this thing? It was scary.

"You're safe, trust me. See? These vines are actually rather cute."

To prove his point, Yu Wenqing reached out his hand, and a vine, which was aggressive a while ago, rested on his hand like a pet.

"Major General Yu, would you please tell them to keep some distance from us?"

An officer asked in a soft and polite tone. They already did their homework and knew that these vines, which didn't touch Chaoyang or Peak Squad members, would entangle and dissolve any other people near them.

"Don't call me that. I'm no longer a major general. Please come in, guys."

Having had enough fun, Yu Wenqing waved his hand, and the vines retreated submissively. Wei Kan tentatively reached out one foot to make sure that the vines wouldn't attack him before he tremblingly stepped inside. When he entered the yard, his back was already drenched in sweat. He was more frightened when he saw that Xing's door was also covered with vines. Wei Kan realized that he had just had an unfavorable start.

Meanwhile, in the Space, after having the conversation with Heiyu, Yun Che was enlightened. His plan of making Chenchen soak in the Jade Spring didn't change, but he wouldn't ask the latter to drink pure spring water like Yun Cheng. He wanted Chenchen to take things slowly so that the latter wouldn't suffer too much pain.

"It'll hurt a little bit. But I know you won't be afraid. You're a little warrior, aren't you?"

Yun Che helped Chenchen take off his clothes and put on a pair of striped swimming trunks before putting a swimming ring on his neck. The duck-shaped swimming ring and his tender flesh made him look funny. Heiyu wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to. He forced himself to look away so that he wouldn't offend the little prince again.

"It's not a little warrior. It's a little Ultraman."

Chenchen frowned and corrected him. Yun Che said hastily, "Right, you're a little Ultraman. In the cartoon, Ultraman never cries for pain even if he gets beaten by the monsters. You won't cry for pain either, will you?"

Thanks to the pirated DVDs produced before Doomsday, Yun Che had learned a lot about cartoon characters recently, especially Ultraman in all kinds of versions.

"No, I won't. I'm not afraid of pain."

Chenchen nodded obediently and determinedly.

"Good. Let's take a bath together."

With that, Yun Che carried him and walked up to the Jade Spring. He stopped beside the spring and took a deep breath before walking down there.

"Hiss… it's cold."

The cold water had reached Yun's chest. Thanks to the swimming ring, Chenchen was floating, with only his lower body soaking in the water. He broke free from his uncle and swam out. "Uncle, it feels cool!"

He kept chuckling delightedly, and Yun Che involuntarily laughed as well. Heiyu, who was watching beside the spring, couldn't help but transform into a puppy again and jump inside.

"Ouch! Uncle Heiyu is naughty!"

The water splashed on Chenchen's face. He wiped it off with his chubby hands and splashed some water towards Heiyu as a payback.

"Who's the naughty boy now? Let me show you my unrivaled flying claw!"

"Haha… No, please. Uncle Heiyu, stop…"

"You started this. Tell me, are you going to attack me again?"

"No, I'll never do that again. You should stop, too, Uncle Heiyu."

After being blindsided by Chenchen, Heiyu immediately struck back. With no way to run from the water coming at him, Chenchen turned around and begged, but Heiyu didn't stop. He swam over and kept splashing water on Chenchen. They were supposed to be having fun, but things got out of control. Chenchen couldn't open his eyes, and some of the water found its way into his mouth.

"Eh-hem. Uncle Heiyu… it hurts…"

Chenchen suddenly started shivering. Heiyu panicked, and Yun Che swam over hastily. "Damn! Chenchen has drunk some of the spring water."

Yun Che hurriedly carried Chenchen and swam ashore. Chenchen was supposed to start with diluted spring water and get used to it before consuming pure spring water to complete his body reform. In that way, he wouldn't feel much pain. But now…

"Uncle, it hurts…"

Chenchen's lips twitched and his voice trembled out of pain. Yun Che held him tightly, "It's alright. The pain will disappear soon. Just hang in there for a while. When the pain is gone, you'll become as strong as me. Don't you want to be a little Ultraman? You have to go through some pain to become a real one."

At this point, Yun Che couldn't do anything but comfort him. As long as he got through this, things would become a lot easier later.

"Emm… It's not painful. I can take it…"

Though the pain had made him shiver and stutter, Chenchen still tried to be a tough boy. Tears welled up in his eyes, but he pursed his lips and kept them from rolling down. He looked so pitiful at this moment.

"Master, how about feeding him with my blood?"

Heiyu, who felt responsible for all of this, was heartbreaking. Other than his master, Chenchen was his favorite. It felt awful to watch Chechen trying to stay strong while suffering so much pain.

"Your blood can't make his pain go away. Never mind. What's done is done. We just need to be here with him."

Yun Che leaned over to whisper, "Chenchen, you can cry if you want to. Crying isn't a sign of weakness. It's just a normal reaction to pain."

"Really?"

Chenchen looked at Yun Che with tears in his eyes. He didn't hear anything except for the part that he could cry.

"Uh-huh. Go ahead. Heiyu and I are here with…"

Before he could finish, Chenchen already started wailing. It could be seen that his tissues were moving under his tender skin, which must be painful for a three-year-old kid. Yun Che and Heiyu felt heartbreaking, but they couldn't stop the pain. Chenchen's voice became husky, and tears gushed out constantly. He was holding Yun Che's neck while sobbing, refusing to let go.

Two hours later, Chenchen's sobbing voice finally became lower, and the movement under his skin stopped. His body was covered with some black and greasy substance. Having had the same experience before, Yun Che breathed a sigh of relief and conjured a towel to wipe his body. About a quarter later, Chenchen's swollen eyes regained their normal function. He opened his eyes and pouted, "Uncle."

His husky voice had returned normal, but his tone was dripping with grievances.

"Everything is fine now. It won't hurt again."

Feeling a slight twinge in the heart, Yun Che hugged him and stroked his back. The past two hours were torture for Yun Che. Fortunately, Chenchen had got through it.

"Chenchen, it's all my fault. Let me make it up to you and show you around in the Space."

Heiyu approached and said. How long had it been since he last felt guilty? Ever since he became the guardian beast of the Space, he had been the king of this place. Who would dare to make him feel guilty? When he followed his master to the outside world, he never feared anyone. This was the first time in thousands of years.

"Emm… Okay."

Chenchen responded as he looked around. He no longer felt any pain; instead, he felt comfortable and relieved.

"Let's go to get dressed."

Yun Che was completely relieved. He carried him to the shore and helped him put on a pair of jeans, a black T-shirt, and a pair of boots. The pathetical plump boy instantly became a handsome little gentleman. After Yun Che blew dry his hair, Chenchen forgot the pain he had suffered a while ago and urged Heiyu to show him around in the Space.

"Go to have some fun. I need to go outside and take some fish to your mom. I'll come back to get you later."

"Okay!"

Sitting on Heiyu's back, Chenchen didn't pay much attention to what Yun Che was saying. All he cared about at the moment was taking a tour in the Space. Heiyu reminded Chenchen to hold tight and dashed out like a flash. Yun Che shook his head as he was surprised that this kid had forgot the pain and become excited so quickly.
