Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 96 I have a younger sister!
Seeing this scene, Li Mu loosened his right hand that was holding Nini's shoulder and showed a satisfied smile.

Because this little white flower was not born from his source energy, but from Nini's awakening ability.

His guess turned out to be correct. Nini was also a wood-attribute awakener and had the ability to accelerate plant growth.

From now on, Wanling City will have one more little "vegetable"!

Li Mu suppressed his inner excitement and said to Han Dong: "Nini has awakened. The abilities she possesses are very similar to mine, both of which are wood attributes."

Han Dong's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief: "What? How come I didn't notice it at all?"

Li Mu replied calmly: "You are just an ordinary person, so you naturally cannot detect it. However, Nini has not yet fully awakened, and she still needs to continue practicing."

"Then what should I do now?"

Han Dong felt confused. Although he had heard about the deeds of the awakened ones, he knew nothing about how to train them.

But when he thought that the city lord in front of him was a powerful awakener, Han Dong began to look at Li Mu with burning eyes, looking forward to his answer.

Li Mu touched his chin, his deep eyes flashing with thoughtfulness.

He paused, then said, "I have a suggestion. You don't have to let Nini be the laboratory staff. She is so young, what can she do? Besides, the most important thing for her now is to seize the time to practice, so as to maximize the potential of her body."

He paused, looked at Nini tenderly, and continued, "Also, I want to tell you one thing. I have a great affection for this little girl Nini, and I hope to recognize her as my sister."

"Do you agree?"

Li Mu felt that Nini had a special connection with him. Not only was she one of the first survivors to join Wanling City, but she also possessed similar wood-attributed abilities as him.

In addition, when Li Mu saw her for the first time, he thought of his sister whom he never had.

All these reasons combined made him make this decision.

"it is good!"

When Han Dong heard that Li Mu wanted to adopt Nini as his sister, he was surprised at first, but after thinking about it for a few seconds, he readily agreed.

"Nini, you heard what your father and I said, I want to recognize you as my sister."

"Do you want to?"

"But, you are the city lord's brother."

Nini was a little confused. Maybe at her age, she didn't understand the difference between "city lord brother" and "brother".

Seeing this, Li Mu stopped explaining too much to Nini, and told her that she would understand it naturally when she grew up.

"Since Nini is already my sister, don't call me City Lord or anything like that anymore. Just call me Li Mu."

"But.."

Seeing that Han Dong was about to say something else, Li Mu waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Ok, deal!"

"By the way, what's Nini's full name?"

Li Mu suddenly remembered that Nini was just a nickname and he didn't know his real name yet.

Seeing Li Mu's firm attitude, Han Dong stopped insisting and explained:

"Nini's full name is Han Jinan. It was her mother who gave her the name. I hope she will be safe and sound in this life."

Speaking of Nini's mother, Han Dong thought of his deceased lover again, and for a moment, an expression of pain appeared on his face.

"Han Jinan, may you live in peace all your life."

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, Nini will be safe and sound throughout her life!"

Li Mu made a serious promise to Han Dong.

From now on, Nini will be Li Mu's sister, and no one can touch her again. "Okay."

Han Dong seemed to still be immersed in painful memories. He just sighed and didn't say anything more.

Seeing that he was not in a good state, Li Mu did not say anything more, but advised:

"You should go back and rest today. Nini will stay here. I will teach her something later. But don't worry, I will take her home after dinner."

Han Dong stood up, bowed, and said, "Li Mu, I'll leave Nini to you."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and touched Nini's little head and said,

"Nini, Daddy has something to do. You stay with your brother first. He will play with you. Okay?"

Nini nodded vigorously, "Yeah."

Seeing that Nini had no intention of objecting, Han Dong stood up and walked out of the laboratory. His thin back looked very distraught.

Seeing Han Dong leave, Li Mu turned to Nini with a smile on his face and asked gently: "Nini, is there anything you particularly want to eat?"

When Nini heard this, her eyes sparkled, but then she seemed to have thought of something and replied in a low voice, "Nini doesn't have anything special that she wants to eat."

Li Mu was keenly aware of Nini's concerns. She didn't really not want to eat, but was afraid of bringing trouble to herself.

He could think of the origin of Nini's understanding: when the end of the world came, Han Dong fled with his wife and daughter, but Nini's mother unfortunately passed away for some unknown reason; then, Han Dong and Nini went through hardships and finally joined the West Lake Shelter;

However, due to his limited ability, Han Dong was unable to earn enough Hope Coins. In order to improve his life, he even took the risk of joining the team to encircle and suppress the dire wolves. If Cheng Cheng and Asao had not rescued her in time, Nini might have become an orphan long ago.

In this land where food and clothing are a problem, Nini gradually learned to be sensible and no longer wanted the simple things she used to have.

Thinking of this, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a surge of pain in his heart, and his mood became heavier.

He couldn't imagine how many families in the world were suffering from similar hardships. However, when he thought of Nini right in front of him, Li Mu tried to respond in a relaxed tone: "Nini, don't be polite in front of your brother, just tell me what you want to eat!"

Feeling Li Mu's sincerity, Nini asked hesitantly, "Is it really possible?"

Li Mu answered without hesitation: "Of course!"

Only then did Nini feel relieved to make a request: "Well...then I want to eat candied haws!"

"Tanghulu, that's easy."

Li Mu walked into the area where materials were stored and carefully selected the seeds of hawthorn trees and sugarcane.

He waved his hand, and amid Nini's exclamation, a hawthorn tree full of bright red fruits and a tall sugarcane appeared in front of them in an instant.

Then, Li Mu stretched out a vine in his hand and lightly picked seven or eight hawthorns the size of ping-pong balls. Then he strung them together with a wooden stick and carefully removed the seeds inside.

After everything was ready, he placed the bunch of hawthorns in front of the sugarcane. As he thought about it, the top of the sugarcane bent, slowly rose above the bunch of hawthorns, and split a hole in it.

“Tick-tock. Tick-tock.”

Like a beautiful piece of music, drops of golden juice drip from the sugarcane and slowly seep into the texture of the hawthorn.

At the same time, a sweet scent spread.

Li Mu watched all this and gently rotated the string of hawthorns in his hand to ensure that every hawthorn was fully moisturized by the juice.

Half a minute later, a string of crystal clear candied haws was ready.

"Nini, come and try it." Li Mu handed the string of candied haws made on the spot to Nini, his eyes full of smiles and his voice extremely gentle.

I really want to have a younger sister, but there is no such thing as one in real life, so I can only create one in novels. . .

Please forgive me
