The little female is incredibly sweet and soft, healing the five evil beasts right from the start.

Chapter 138 Black Lotus
"Oh, you care about me so much." Jiang Mian said softly, her voice carrying a hint of joy and happiness.

Just when Jiang Mian thought he was going to avoid her feelings again, Lin Yu gently raised his eyes and glanced at her. His long, narrow red eyes were tired and cold, yet full of suppressed emotions. His clear, cold voice always sounded a little more charming when he was talking to Jiang Mian. It was not cold but slightly hoarse: "I will feel sorry for you. Please don't get hurt in the future, okay? Don't even get the slightest injury."

Jiang Mian blinked gently, then her eyebrows curved slightly: "Yes, that's natural. Who would want to get hurt?"

Lin Yu gently raised his hand, and just as Jiang Mian thought he was going to rub her head, his hand tilted slightly to the side and landed on her soft, black hair. His fingers gently brushed through her hair before he withdrew his hand and said, "Mm."

He quickly looked down and helped Jiang Mian treat the small scratch on her palm.

Jiang Mian:......

She was all ready to let him pat her head.

Lin Yu quickly and carefully treated her, putting on a band-aid and that was it.

Lin Yu held her hand, his gaze falling on her slightly reddened, beautiful fingers, hiding the stickiness in his eyes, and his ears turned slightly red.

Her hands are so beautiful.

I wish I could land on his tail.

"Huh? What's that?" Jiang Mian noticed out of the corner of his eye that the black waterfall crashing down from the cliff seemed to have a white flash.

She quickly jumped down from the big rock, gently pushed Lin Yu aside, and walked over there.

Lin Yu paused for a moment, then followed Jiang Mian to her side, her gaze falling on the area below where the black water waterfall was crashing down.

A patch of black, mutated lotus flowers grew there.

He glanced around but didn't notice anything unusual.

As Jiang Mian walked along the bank and approached the cascading waterfall, the water vapor became even more intense and rushed towards him.

If she wasn't mistaken, there was a white lotus that flashed by just now, but because of the violent cascading of the black waterfall, it seemed that the white lotus was also smashed into the black curtain of water.

It should be noted that plants are born in a polluted state, while that white lotus is clearly a normal-colored white lotus, proving that it has not been polluted.

Not to mention that it would be difficult to find uncontaminated plants even on ordinary planets, it would be even more impossible for such an uncontaminated plant to appear on this polluted planet with a pollution level of over 90%.

If it's true, then its research value is self-evident.

Jiang Mian was extremely close to the cascading waterfall. Just now, it seemed like her imagination had run wild, as if she had misjudged it. She had been looking at it for a while but hadn't seen a single speck of white.

"Lin Yu, go and break off a tree branch," Jiang Mian instructed Lin Yu.

Lin Yu quickly leaped onto a tree, snapped off a long root, and handed the root to Jiang Mian, glancing at him sideways: "Do you want those mutated lotuses?"

Jiang Mian took the tree root but shook his head: "No, I just saw an unpolluted plant. I don't know if I was mistaken?"

Lin Yu's eyes flickered slightly. If it were true, then a plant that remained unpolluted even under polluted air would be of immense research value. Finding out how that plant resisted polluted air would be beneficial to the entire interstellar space.

He didn't care whether it was beneficial to the interstellar community or not, but as a pharmacist, she would probably be very happy.

As he thought about it, he turned his head to look at Jiang Mian, who was earnestly gripping the branch and starting to fish. Her eyes were indeed filled with hope.

Jiang Mian searched for a while but still couldn't find any white lotus flowers. All she found were black lotus flowers. Could it be that she had misread it?
"I'll go into the water and look for it," Lin Yu said from the side.

Jiang Mian paused, after all, if it were true, the plant's effects would be very valuable for research. So she nodded and looked at Lin Yu: "Thank you for your help. Be careful. If it's not there, then forget it."

After all, if it's really gone, she can't force anything.

How could she have encountered something that's a once-in-a-century occurrence so easily?

Lin Yu jumped directly into the black water, while Jiang Mian squatted on the shore waiting, feeling both expectant and worried.

After waiting for a while, Jiang Mian noticed movement on the water. She looked over and saw Lin Yu breaking through the water.

Jiang Mian's gaze fell on his hands, but there was nothing there.

A hint of disappointment seemed to flash across her eyes, but she quickly composed herself. Perhaps she really had been mistaken; how could she have encountered him so easily?
Moreover, its roots may have been broken by the falling waterfall. Without roots, it could be washed away by the water and cause secondary pollution.

Mutations that turn out for the better are always a one in ten thousand chance of good fortune.

Perhaps there was only one unpolluted plant just now, but once it's gone, it will be very difficult to find another unpolluted plant.

Jiang Mian stood up and reached out to pull Lin Yu, who was swimming over, ashore.

Lin Yu hesitated for a moment, then reached out and grabbed Jiang Mian's hand.

Jiang Mian pulled the person up.

The dampness instantly soaked their clasped hands.

After Lin Yu reached the shore, he spoke up: "There is a water curtain cave on the cliff behind the waterfall."

Jiang Mian paused. "Weren't we looking for the white lotus? How did we get onto the Water Curtain Cave?"
Could there be uncontaminated plants behind the Water Curtain Cave?
"Are there any uncontaminated plants inside the Water Curtain Cave?" Jiang Mian's eyes brightened slightly.

Lin Yu paused for a moment before speaking, "I'm not sure if there is, but the air quality inside the cave is comparable to that of Baicheng Sub-city, so there should be some plants maintaining it."

Without any high-tech methods used by humans to block air pollution or produce oxygen, the fact that this natural cave maintains air quality similar to that of a secondary city must be supported by some kind of ecosystem.

Jiang Mian was surprised to hear the news, and her heart started beating a little faster. Although the air quality in the sub-city was not as good as in the main city, it was still possible to live there without an oxygen mask.

Does this natural water curtain cave actually have this function? That's of great research value.

"Is the cave big? Can people go inside and take a look?" Jiang Mian suppressed her excitement. "I want to go inside and take a look."

"It's alright, I'll take you there." Lin Yu reached out and hugged Jiang Mian's waist, reminding her, "You might get your clothes wet when you pass through the water curtain."

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Jiang Mian waved her hand casually.

Without hesitation, Lin Yu grabbed Jiang Mian's waist and quickly leaped over, passing through the water curtain and entering the water curtain cave.

Jiang Mian once again marveled at the orcs' excellent jumping ability.

After her feet touched the ground, everything around her was pitch black.

The black curtain of water behind them blocked out the light from the outside, and the water curtain cave inside was completely dark.

"I just checked, there are no strange beasts or insects here," Lin Yu's reassuring voice rang out.
