Lingyun watched the plants work with a bright smile on his face. "Look at the babies, getting faster with every bad guy they take down. I feel like a very proud daddy."
One of the vines spun around and seemingly glared at him before slinking over to Zhenlan to get a pet.
The other man looked shocked for a single second before stroking the leaf that acted as the vine's head.
"It looks like I'm their favorite," Zhenlan purred. A soft smile that I hadn't seen in a long time appeared on his face.
"Ah," Lingyun nodded, tapping his chin as he looked up into the sky. "But if I killed you, then that would be one less man competing for their love and attention." The look that flashed in his eyes showed just how unhinged he actually was when he made that statement.
He really wasn't kidding.
Zhenlan's hand paused on the vine's head as he slowly looked over at him. "I'm beginning to understand why they don't like you."
