The next morning
The sun was shining brightly. Luo Beishi took out some dried fish and continued to feed Quinn. Quinn wasn't picky, and after eating half of it, he felt more and more like a freeloader.
Furthermore, after many days of deliberation, he decided to bring Lia back to the Central Star after he recovered. In any case, he also owned a property near the Academy of Sciences. He would bring Lia with him then and give Lia a recommendation for a place at the school.
If Lia doesn't want to go to school, then bring Lia to work at the Academy of Sciences. With Lia's talent, she will surely achieve great results in the Academy of Sciences -Medical Department.
Of course, these are just his thoughts. The specifics depend on what Lia thinks. If Lia believes that she has more money than she can spend in her lifetime, she doesn't care if she doesn't work, does nothing, and sleeps all day. So, making preparations in advance would be futile.
Today, Luo Beishi treated Quinn as usual. With a touch of obsessive-compulsive disorder, he repeatedly used his Spiritual Power to search for any remaining cracks. Not only that, he also let Quinn's own Spiritual Power guide him. Sure enough, there were still two relatively hidden cracks that hadn't been repaired.
It ended half an hour later.
Luo Beishi opened his eyes nervously and saw Quinn in front of him with shiny black scales, staring blankly at him as if he was considering something.
At this moment, Luo Beishi also realized that he seemed unable to hear Quinn's thoughts anymore.
" Quinn, alright, a snake should keep its word, don't hurt me."
Before Luo Beishi could react, a man nearly 1.9 meters tall, dressed in black, appeared in front of him.
The man had perfect facial features, with exquisitely beautiful eyebrows and eyes. He possessed a face so beautiful that even technology could hardly replicate it, making him one in a million.
At this moment, the man's golden, vertical pupils were fixed on him, his gaze incredibly gentle. A faint smile played on his lips as he slowly knelt down on one knee before him, took his hand, kissed the back of his hand, and said in a sexy yet husky voice, "Hello, Lia, I think I'm truly lucky to have met you, it feels like destiny. If I could, I would like to keep you by my side, and I will definitely protect you."
After being stunned by the handsome face, Luo Beishi quickly came to her senses upon hearing his words, "Wait, I think I should be the one to bring you into my life. I have the ability to support you. Besides, aren't you a pitiful person?"
He reached out and touched Quinn's black hair; it was quite stiff, but the scales felt more comfortable.
Quinn, quite naturally, nuzzled his head into his palm. " Lia, I haven't told you my identity yet. If you're surprised, please don't stray from me, okay?"
Looking at Quinn's handsome face, Luo Beishi thought it was quite collectible. He was the most handsome orc he had ever seen in his life, without a doubt.
"Tell me what you think, but I can't guarantee it." Luo Beishi didn't like to make definitive statements, but there was something interesting...
The thing is, he already knew that Quinn's Spiritual Power definitely exceeded SSS+, and someone with that kind of strength... well, he's a sleepy hamster who doesn't read the news at all.
"My full name is Huo Cixiao Quinn. I am the Dean of the Central Star Academy of Sciences of the Beastman Empire, and also the only son of the Imperial Marshal."
After hearing this, Luo Beishi's mind went blank. What had he said before? He was going to raise Quinn!
Now, it seems he can't afford to support them anymore.
"Then how did you end up here, and I'm pretty sure you're not lying to me."
Immediately afterwards, a small chip, about the size of a fingernail, appeared in Luo Beishi's hand.
"This is my identification document. You should know that every orc is born with it. You can scan it with your quantum computer."
Luo Beishi indeed took out his computer and started scanning.
After confirming the information, he was slightly surprised. He regretted that he could no longer keep Quinn by his side; his possessions were insignificant compared to Quinn's status.
" Lia, what are you thinking about?"
"No, I'm thinking about how to get off this desolate planet."
Quinn gently rubbed her cheek against his hand again. Neither of them realized how intimate their actions appeared to others, but to them, it seemed perfectly natural. Quinn felt...
His heart rate would increase abnormally when he was near Lia.
" Lia, don't worry, my location was automatically transmitted the moment I returned to human form."
"That's amazing! As expected of you, Quinn." Luo Beishi was just feeling down because he couldn't support Quinn, but now that he heard this good news, all his worries disappeared.
Quinn stood up, bent down slightly, and picked him up.
Luo Beishi's body was suddenly lifted into the air. He swallowed hard. "Um, Quinn, what are you doing?"
"When I was Little Black, I wondered how light and easy it would be to carry such a slender orc like you. I even thought I could put you in my pocket and take you to work."
Luo Beishi looked at him with a "Are you stupid?" look. "I don't want you to throw me in the trash can like garbage, or accidentally sit on me and kill me! Many of my compatriots have died like that!"
Quinn felt apologetic, but couldn't help laughing. "I'm sorry, Lia, I didn't think it through. Can I take your human form with me? I really don't want to be separated from you... My Spiritual Power really likes you."
"Oh right! You can take me with you, I want to stay by Quinn's side too, but I have some troublesome things to deal with."
Quinn buried his face in Leah's neck. The scent was so familiar... bitter orange... He smelled of bitter orange too. The scent was so similar to Lia's! Quinn was incredulous.
" Lia, do you need my help? I want to help you. You saved my life; my life belongs to you, so I belong to you too."
Quinn dared not say it, but he wanted Lia to turn back into a hamster so he could feel its furry texture.
Strangely, he wouldn't have such thoughts about other furry creatures, but he became fixated on Lia the moment he saw her. Besides, when she was in snake form, it was just her scales touching her, so the sensation wasn't great. But when she turned back into human form, her skin felt much better.
Upon hearing Quinn's words, Luo Beishi suddenly remembered, "Oh right, I saved your life, your life is my life."
"Okay, so from now on, you can order me around as much as you like."
"Can I live with you in the future? But I'm worried that it's too dangerous around you. Look at you, you've been abandoned here. If I follow you, wouldn't I have to be constantly on edge?"
Quinn was suddenly choked up. He silently sighed, "Lia is the smartest mouse I've ever seen!"
