"Alright, Miss Li, I shall accept your offer. Welcome to the team," Long Yu's serious expression loosened into a smile.
"Really?! Thank you, you will not be disappointed!" Li Xue Lan was so glad that she almost jumped for joy.
Long Yu could not help but chuckle. The way she said it was as if she just successfully received a job offer.
"Since you are now part of the team, I shall tell you the truth. This is the destination that Xixi and I are heading to, is a top secret facility that holds someone we're looking for." Long Yu revealed to her while pointing at the marked empty plot of land on the map.
While not even a single building was shown on the map in that area, Li Xue Lan guessed the facility must be located there.
"This must be an important person to you… is it someone from your family?" Li Xue Lan asked. She could tell Long Yu placed great importance in finding this person.
"You could say that. To be exact, it's this kid's mother," Long Yu replied as she patted Xixi's head.
Li Xue Lan's eyes widened in realisation, "So it's Mister Long and Xixi's mother…no wonder..."
Hearing this, Long Yu knew that she misunderstood him for Xixi's real brother.
"Well, not exactly. Even though she calls me big brother, we aren't related by blood," he clarified.
Unknown to him, Xixi felt a little depressed after hearing this. Her little hands grasped the hem of her white dress.
"Oh, I see… Even so, I will do my best to help!" Li Xue Lan said. Although she was not clear about the circ.u.mstances of their relations.h.i.+p, she knew not to pry.
"Good, if we hurry we should be able to reach the location by tomorrow," Long Yu clapped his hands and said.
Suddenly, he recalled something. Long Yu immediately exited the RV and entered the Black Shark. When he returned, he was holding two blood red objects in his hands.
Xixi's eyes immediately brightened at the sight of these objects. The mysterious sweet scent coming from them tickled her little nose.
These red objects are the blood healing fruits Long Yu harvested from the Redwood Vampire Plant that he killed. They not only contain life saving properties, but they can also temporarily accelerate the growth of a user's special ability. In other words, they are an invaluable resource.
Right now, Long Yu decided to feed Xixi these fruits. Although the fruit's recovery property can heal most life threatening injuries, it wasn't an omnipotent medicine. If any of them suffered a direct fatal injury, even the fruit wouldn't be able to save them in time.
It was better to use the growth property of the blood healing fruit to improve Xixi's special ability, especially considering its nature. Her defensive ability allows her to create a barrier to protect herself.
After a while of practice, Xixi had even learned to manipulate her barrier for other uses. For instance, not only could she change its shape, she could also project it outwards a certain distance from herself.
Long Yu had not tested its durability much so far in fear of harming the la.s.s. However, he could tell that its defence had grown considerably since then.
Thus, if her ability experiences further growth, it would surely protect her life better. Compared to waiting for an injury to occur, it was a smarter choice to decrease the risk of receiving one.
"Xixi, I want you to eat these. They can help your ability grow," Long Yu placed the fruits in front of her.
"Yes, big brother!" she joyfully replied.
Without delay, the little la.s.s already grabbed one in her hands. Her eyes sparkled while staring at the delicate fruit in front of her.
With a bite from her small mouth, red juices spurted everywhere including on her white dress. However, she ignored this and continued chomping down the fruit.
Li Xue Lan was curious about the origin of the fruit. With a glance, she could tell that it was no ordinary fruit. The appearance and smell of it wasn't like any normal fruit she had seen before.
A brief moment later, Xixi finished devouring the fruit. Since there was no seed inside, all that was left on her hands was red juice dripping all over.

"How is it? Don't force yourself if you feel unwell," Long Yu said.
"Aiya, big brother, I'm fine. It's so delicious! I feel like I can eat a whole basket of them!" the little girl replied. She then grabbed the other fruit on the table and started chomping on it too.
'Well, that wasn't what I was asking about, but as long as she's feeling fine…' he thought.
After a while, Long Yu asked again after seeing that she had yet to show any reaction. "Xixi, do you notice any changes in your body yet?"
"Not really…" she frowned while chewing as if trying to sense something.
Even after Xixi had finished the second fruit, Long Yu did not notice any abnormalities.
"Was I mistaken? Does the growth property takes a longer period to manifest?" he furrowed his brows in thought.
When he consumed the blood fruit, he felt a peculiar warmth flowing through his body. Thus, he was puzzled as to why it didn't seem to have any effect on Xixi.
"Hmm?" Long Yu paused his thoughts as he felt the inside of the RV suddenly trembling.
