The Interstellar's Expert Plant Tamer

34

Xie Sen moved his body towards Maine to see clearly. Maine had pulled down his collar, but his hand had already released it. The material of his clothes was very elastic, and blinked back to the original shape which covered his chest.

Xie Sen paused his approaching movement. Maine’s eyes opened abruptly at that moment. His eyes were slightly red, as if they were burning. He stared at Xie Sen, and his eyes fell subconsciously to his lips.

When Xie Sen saw that he was awake, he breathed a sigh of relief and silently pointed to his chest, and made a gesture to pull down his collar again.

Maine’s eyes showed a touch of surprise, and he didn’t do anything for a while.

Xie Sen was very anxious. He was worried that the changes on the beast pattern would disappear, so he simply reached out and grabbed the edge of Maine’s collar. The surprise in Maine’s eyes increased, but he didn’t stop him.

Xie Sen pulled the collar down, and when he saw the animal print, his head came closer. He was right. Maine’s beast tattoo had changed. A pair of golden feathers had appeared on both sides of the roaring lion. He looked up, ready to tell Maine about this discovery, when he met Maine’s complex and deep eyes.

He froze. He didn’t understand why his heart was suddenly racing, then realized that they were really close. He pulled back slightly, reached out to point at Maine’s chest, and gestured for Maine to look.

Maine withdrew his eyes from Xie Sen’s body. He sat upright when he saw the change in his beast’s pattern, and his back left the tree trunk. He hung his head for a long moment, then reached out and took Xie Sen’s wrist. Xie Sen acquiesced to his urging, and loosened his grip on his collar to let his clothes cover up his beast pattern.

When Maine looked up, his face was filled with uncontrollable excitement, even his fingers were trembling slightly with delight.

Xie Sen didn’t understand why it was like this, but he knew what it meant. Maine’s contract beast was no longer a giant lion beast, but a flying lion beast. He had changed from an A class to an S class.

No wonder Maine was so thrilled.

Xie Sen smiled. Maine’s contract beast, finally, was the same as in the book. He no longer needed to be puzzled by it.

His smile was soon replaced by worry. Now that what he knew was the same as in the book, what about Maine? Would he be as dark as in the book?

Maine saw him like this, and thought Xie Sen was worried about him. He patted Xie Sen’s shoulder, and shook his head with a light smile to signal that he was fine.

Xie Sen forced a smile on his lips, as he looked at Maine’s face, still white due to the poisoning. He couldn’t afford to kill the idea in the cradle. He could only keep an eye on Maine and stop him from turning black!

Maine patted Xie Sen’s shoulder again, and pointed to the tree trunk behind him to indicate that he should rest. Xie Sen nodded, leaned against the trunk, and closed his eyes.

At five o’clock in the morning, the forest looked like a stage had been set up and all kinds of birds and insects were chirping incessantly.

Maine had woken up at some point, and was looking at him. Their eyes met, and Xie Sen’s heart lost its rhythm for a moment.

How long has he been looking at me?! Xie Sen immediately moved his eyes away, but soon couldn’t help it and returned to Maine’s face, which had regained its color and looked fine. “How are you feeling?”

“I’m fine.” Maine said. His voice was a little dry, probably from the fever.

Bai Jiao said, “The wound was well treated yesterday, so it’s not a big problem, but it’s best to go to the hospital to clean the toxins completely when you get out.”
