The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 206: What Secret Is Lu Shinian Hiding?
Lin Tianxian was being led by Qi Chen to check Da Huβs physical condition. ππΏπππ°π²ππ§π π§π²π₯.ππ¨π
Meanwhile, Su Ruan pulled Lu Shinian to a secluded corner and whispered, "I just fed Da Hu a small piece of apple, and then she woke up."
Lu Shinianβs eyes narrowed slightly, "You suspect Da Hu has developed a dependency on your apples?"
Su Ruan nodded.
"Iβve been feeding her apples the whole time without stopping."
"There might have been changes within her body that none of us anticipated."
The Ancestral phenomenon remains unexplored to this day, let alone the situation with completely beastified high spiritual power users.
Everything regarding the Ancestral Stage is still unknown to the Federation at present.
They are still in the exploration stage; this development was unforeseen by them.
"Brother Lu, should we bring Da Hu back?" Su Ruan asked in a low voice.
Lu Shinian pondered for a moment before responding solemnly, "Not for now."
"Qi Chen is highly suspicious; if we bring Da Hu back, it will surely arouse his doubts."
Su Ruan nodded, "Iβll observe Da Huβs condition first."
She glanced at the time and naturally held Lu Shinianβs large hand, "Letβs head back first."
She took the initiative to lead him towards Qi Chenβs bedroom.
At that moment, Lin Tianxian had already finished examining Da Huβs condition.
Compared to the military doctors from the First Legion, Lin Tianxianβs expertise was indeed significantly superior.
"There seems to be a trace amount of energy within Da Huβs body, likely absorbed from the external environment."
Just as he said this, Su Ruan entered with Lu Shinian.
Lin Tianxian respectfully saluted the two before continuing, "But Da Hu might have developed a slight dependency on this energy."
He paused for two seconds, then thoughtfully added, "Her current reaction is somewhat reminiscent of withdrawal symptoms."
After developing a dependency on certain substances, suddenly not ingesting them can result in withdrawal symptoms.
Initial symptoms include lethargy and weakened spiritual power, eventually potentially escalating to a frenzy.
Since Da Hu is not truly a wild beast but a completely beastified high spiritual power user, Lin Tianxian uncommonly added, "It would be best to find the dependency source and provide it continuously to see."
Before arriving, Lu Shinian had already warned him not to disclose Da Huβs completely beastified condition.
The Commanderβs orders take precedence over everything, so Lin Tianxian refrained from saying more.
But these words were enough to make Qi Chen tense.
"Withdrawal symptoms?" Qi Chenβs voice rose, quickly recalling what he had been feeding Da Hu recently.
Da Hu is very picky, not liking pet food or nutrient solutions; he had no choice but to buy raw meat, cook it, and feed it to her.
To ensure Da Huβs health, he purchased various types of meat to mix and change with every meal, ensuring she wouldnβt develop dependencies.
Apple was a possible source, but Da Hu always only took a small bite of the apple; withdrawal symptoms assume no apples are eaten, yet he fed her an apple just last night.
"Damn it." Qi Chen ruffled his hair in frustration, "What exactly is the dependency source?"
No one answered his question.
Da Hu carefree ran over to Su Ruanβs feet, flopping down, lazily wagging her tail.
Standing beside Lu Shinian, seeing he wasnβt intending to speak, Su Ruan cleared her throat and proactively suggested, "Why not let Da Hu come back with me?"
Without thinking, Qi Chen rejected, "No."
His expression was grim, fists clenched, "Da Hu is best off with me."
Seeing his refusal, Su Ruan didnβt press further, simply crouching down to rub Da Huβs fluffy head.
Da Hu nuzzled Su Ruanβs palm with her head.
Although she desired the delicious apple, Qi Chen talked so much; if without her company, heβd only end up talking to himself, which felt too pitiful.
So, she decided to stay with Qi Chen.
Resolutely making up her mind, Da Hu stood, walked to Qi Chenβs side, and affectionately nudged his calf with her head.
Qi Chen crouched, ruffled her fur, and asked, "Da Hu, you want to stay with me, right?"
Da Hu nodded.
Qi Chenβs eyes lit up.
This was the first time Da Hu had responded to his words.
Da Hu truly understood what he was saying!
This strengthened Qi Chenβs resolve to keep Da Hu by his side.
Anyway, with Da Hu awake, Lu Shinian and the others didnβt linger.
After all, Lu Shinian is the Commander of the Third Legion, and staying too long with Qi Chen would undoubtedly spark conspiracy theories.
Furthermore, concerning Da Hu, he still needed to discuss matters with Lin Tianxian back in the Third Legion.
Su Ruan naturally followed Lu Shinian away.
Before leaving, Su Ruan took a purified apple from her Space Button, handing it over to Qi Chen as she said, "This was grown on Brother Luβs Agricultural Star, you can let Da Hu try it."
Qi Chen had no objections, accepting it with a word of thanks.
Subsequently, Su Ruan and her group departed.
Holding the apple and observing the suddenly enthusiastic Da Hu wagging her tail, Qi Chen was lost in thought.
Perhaps he thought of something, as he opened his Light Brain and pulled up a surveillance video.
The footage showed Su Ruan crouching beside the bed.
Despite her subtle actions, Qi Chen noticed she had sliced a small piece of apple for Da Hu, and seconds later, Da Hu awoke.
Qi Chen watched this less-than-a-minute clip repeatedly, then closed the Light Brain, looking at the apple in his palm, a smile crossing his lips.
"Interesting."
It seemed he found the dependency source.
Qi Chen crouched, patted Da Huβs head, and whispered, "Da Hu, from now on, youβll have an apple every day, alright?"
Da Hu nodded excitedly.
Qi Chenβs lips curled, eyes glinting with a trace of madness.
What are Lu Shinian and Su Ruan hiding?
Really makes one curious.
But if they mess with his Da Hu, they shouldnβt blame him for being heartless.
Qi Chen fiddled with the apple in his hand, his gaze reflecting Da Huβs image, fully revealing his madness.
Meanwhile, completely unaware that Qi Chen had installed surveillance in his own bedroom, Su Ruan and Lu Shinian returned to the Third Legion.
Considering Da Huβs situation, Su Ruan remarked, "I told Qi Chen the apple came from your Agricultural Star."
"In the future, if he wants to buy some, this can serve as a valid excuse."
Lu Shinian owns numerous planets, including an Agricultural Star where apples are grown, which serves well as a pretext.
Lu Shinian chuckled lightly, "Ruan Ruan is becoming smarter and smarter."
Neither of them anticipated keeping this from Qi Chen for long; Qi Chen was cautious, suspicious, and clever, bound to notice the anomaly with the apples sooner or later.
For now, it was just a precautionary measure.
