"Would you like to see me use my powers to make them grow faster?"
Xiang Yu straightened, intrigued. He knew Da Hei wasn't the strongest among the Awakened, but this greenhouse partially existed because of him.
"Show me," Xiang Yu said.
Xiang Yu fetched the twins, Lian and Mei, and the four of them headed outside the city. Da Hei would have preferred it if it were just him and Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu had insisted the twins come along.
The sun was high in the sky, casting sharp shadows over the cracked, dry ground. The air was thick with tension, though no one spoke of it.
Xiang Yu turned to the twins as they walked, his tone casual but probing. "So, do you have any antidotes for the plants?"
Lian glanced at him, her expression thoughtful. "We have one for the venomthorn vines," she said.
