Chapter 145: Woken Up By Nuzzling, Kissing Both Sides at Once!
Lin Ye could see the Beast-eared Girls’ longing for the sky in their eyes.
He smiled and nodded.
Humans without wings always had endless fantasies about the vast, boundless sky.
In his past life on Earth, humanity spent countless years finally inventing various flying machines that could carry people to soar in the sky like birds.
But in this world now, there appeared the Winged Race, a race with extraordinary talent, who could freely soar in the sky after reaching adulthood.
Lin Ye also looked towards the sky outside, wondering when he would be able to lead the Beast-eared Girls to conquer this world’s sky.
At this moment, Shi, who had snapped back to reality, asked Lin Ye again, “Ye, why do ice cubes fall from the sky?”
Shi’s question brought everyone’s thoughts back, and Lin Ye turned his head.
The Beast-eared Girls looked at Lin Ye again, waiting for his explanation. Then Lin Ye pointed at the dark clouds in the sky and said to the Beast-eared Girls.
“See those dark clouds? Rainwater falls from those dark clouds.”
“Those falling ice cubes have a name: hailstones. Hailstones are in a much higher place, very, very high, ten times higher than we see now.”
“Hailstones are originally water, but as they fall, it’s too cold up there, so they turn into ice and fall down.” Lin Ye explained to the Beast-eared Girls in simple, easy-to-understand terms how hailstones are formed.
After hearing this, the Beast-eared Girls looked at the dark clouds in the sky outside with surprise, then looked back at Lin Ye.
Their eyes were already filled with admiration.
Shi’s face showed a look of yearning as she said to Lin Ye, “Ye, this is too magical. Water actually turns into ice in the sky.” The other Beast-eared Girls’ eyes also sparkled.
Susu even took two steps forward, looking at Lin Ye with admiration, and said, “Ye, you’re so amazing, you even know this.” The other Beast-eared Girls also nodded at Lin Ye.
Seeing the Beast-eared Girls’ expressions, Lin Ye shook his head with a smile.
As it rained, the sky darkened before they knew it.
The rain outside continued to fall without any sign of stopping.
Even if it stopped now, all the firewood was wet, so they couldn’t start a fire to barbecue.
So the Beast-eared Girls and Lin Ye lay down directly in the wooden house.
The rain was still falling outside, but the hailstones had stopped at some point.
The Beast-eared Girls left the space in the middle for Lin Ye.
After Lin Ye lay down, Diona was on his left and Sakura was on his right.
As soon as she lay down, Sakura snuggled into Lin Ye’s arms, nuzzled his shoulder with her head, and fell asleep.
Diona was a bit reserved at first, but after seeing Sakura clinging to Lin Ye, she couldn’t help but burrow into Lin Ye’s embrace and fell asleep not long after.
Lin Ye felt like he was holding a three-year sentence on his right and a direct death penalty on his left.
But Lin Ye wasn’t afraid at all.
He even reached out and touched Diona’s tri-colored cat ears.
Diona, in her sleep, frowned, stretched out a paw, moved her cat ears, and then smiled and continued to sleep.
The sky outside was completely covered by dark clouds today, so after it got dark, there was no light at all, making it pitch black.
The sound of the rain outside seemed to have a hypnotic effect, and Lin Ye also fell asleep after a while.
The rain gradually subsided in the middle of the night, but the sparse drizzle continued until Lin Ye woke up.
Sakura and Diona were already awake, but because it was still raining outside, both of them were still lazily lying on Lin Ye.
They were propping up Lin Ye’s cheeks with their noses, one on each side.
Lin Ye was woken up by them nuzzling him like this.
Sakura and Diona saw Lin Ye waking up and looking at them.
The two little girls giggled.
Lin Ye looked at Sakura and Diona, who had woken him up, and smiled slightly.
Then, he immediately kissed both girls on both cheeks.
Sakura and Diona let out bursts of sweet laughter.
The other Beast-eared Girls were still in the wooden house and hadn’t gone out.
Seeing Lin Ye playing with Sakura and Diona, they couldn’t help but touch their cheeks and look enviously at the two being kissed by Lin Ye.
After kissing for a while, Lin Ye noticed the other Beast-eared Girls looking at them with complex expressions.
So Lin Ye patted the two cat-eared little girls on their bottoms and opened his arms, letting them get off him.
Then Lin Ye stood up from the straw mat and looked outside.
After Lin Ye got up, the two cat-eared little girls sat to the side, smiling foolishly and touching their cheeks where Lin Ye had kissed them.
Lin Ye saw that the hailstones on the ground had disappeared, and although it was still raining lightly, the sky had turned blue.
Lin Ye stretched, and his joints made cracking sounds.
Then Lin Ye checked and found that all the Beast-eared Girls were in the wooden house, and Lin Ye said to them, “Everyone wait here for the rain to stop. I’ll go out and take a look first.”
After speaking, Lin Ye strode out of the wooden house.
The rain had become very light now, and coupled with Lin Ye’s concern for the chili peppers in the vegetable garden, he walked towards the vegetable garden, braving the rain.
The Beast-eared Girls watched Lin Ye walk away from the windows and the doorway.
Because of the heavy rain yesterday, the mud and fine sand on the ground had been washed away by the rain and flowed somewhere unknown.
Only large gravel and small pebbles were left on the ground.
Lin Ye ran all the way to the vegetable garden.
The water pipes were flowing with river water again, and the pottery kiln was now just a base. The gourd-shaped pit that Lin Ye had dug was now filled with mud and sand that had flowed in with the rainwater.
Lin Ye didn’t pay much attention to these things; they could be re-manufactured with a little more time.
Lin Ye went straight to the vegetable garden.
But the scene before him surprised Lin Ye.
Lin Ye had originally thought that the soil for planting potatoes and chili peppers would be very soft.
Such heavy rain might have washed away the soft soil.
But to his surprise, the plants in the vegetable garden had not suffered much damage… The water had purified it.
A total of more than a dozen chili pepper plants were broken by the hailstones and fell to the ground. Other chili pepper plants had only their leaves and fruits damaged by the hailstones.
Several branches of the Sichuan pepper trees were broken. The lemon trees and Sichuan pepper trees were similar, with many leaves also knocked off.
As for the potatoes, many newly sprouted young shoots had been broken.
However, Lin Ye estimated that even if the potatoes were undamaged, after such heavy rain, these potato sprouts might not survive.
The soil was so wet that the potato sprouts might rot before they could grow.
However, these potatoes were grown from potato sprouts rewarded by the system.
Perhaps they could not be treated with common sense.
Seeing that the damage was so little, Lin Ye laughed in surprise.
He picked up the broken chili pepper plants from the ground.
The roots of those dozen chili pepper plants were still in the soil, so Lin Ye left them untouched.
He wanted to see if they could still be revived.
Out of curiosity, Lin Ye activated his Eye of Investigation and X-ray Vision to look beneath the vegetable garden.
He discovered that the vegetable garden was above a surging underground river, and the soil between them was thick. Rainwater seeped directly through the soil into the underground river.
Lin Ye picked the chili peppers from the broken chili pepper plants and headed back to the wooden house.
As soon as he entered the wooden house, the Beast-eared Girls excitedly asked Lin Ye about the chili peppers and potatoes.
When they learned that the vegetable garden had not suffered much damage, the Beast-eared Girls laughed happily.
After waiting for a while longer, the rain finally stopped completely.
Sunlight shone down again.
As soon as the rain stopped, the Beast-eared Girls eagerly went to the open space to get busy.
Lin Ye climbed back onto the roof and tidied up the bamboo slices he hadn’t finished arranging yesterday.
The bamboo slices on the roof had endured the hailstorm all night but were completely unharmed, just as they were when first placed.
Lin Ye got down from the roof.
He came to the open space and saw the Beast-eared Girls busy with their tasks.
Lin Ye looked around but couldn’t find the Unicorn.
The Unicorn had disappeared somewhere early yesterday.
With such heavy rain and hailstones, the Unicorn hadn’t returned all night.
However, Lin Ye sensed no emotional fluctuations from the Unicorn, so it should have found a place to shelter from the rain.
Lin Ye sent a telepathic message to the Unicorn to come back, and then went into the cave to check if the rainwater that had poured into the cave yesterday had soaked the potatoes stored inside.
Upon entering the cave, Lin Ye found that because the potatoes were piled on dry grass deep inside the cave, they had not been soaked by the rainwater. Relieved, Lin Ye walked out of the cave.
At this moment, Lin Ye saw the Beast-eared Girls with excited expressions, all running towards the open space.
Seeing this, Lin Ye also quickened his pace towards the open space. Halfway there, Lin Ye suddenly received a message from the Unicorn filled with boastfulness.
It seemed that the Unicorn had done something.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye sped up his pace towards the open space.
As Lin Ye arrived at the open space, he was stunned by the scene before him and gasped sharply!
