Lia honestly replied, "Uncle, my physical and Spiritual Power are currently at S+, the healing type."

My uncle is also a parent, so when meeting the parents, I should make a good impression. He is very polite to elders who are not enemies.

Ris raised an eyebrow slightly. "Is that really true?"

Lia nodded slowly. "Yes, healing type. Does your uncle often experience a dull headache and suffer from insomnia without being able to find the cause?"

After Lia uttered those words, the atmosphere became unusually quiet.

Lia knew what he had said, but if he could get His Majesty to owe him a favor, it would be beneficial for him in the future.

Besides, His Majesty is Quinn's family, so whether he owes her or not doesn't matter; sincerity is the ultimate weapon.

Moreover, Ris is even willing to give the throne to Quinn, so their relationship is more than just good or bad.

Quinn slowly opened his mouth. " Lia, do you have a cure?"

In fact, Lia's Spiritual Power was very gentle. Just as Quinn withdrew his Spiritual Power, his Spiritual Power tentacles slowly hooked onto His Majesty's Spiritual Power. Lia thought His Majesty was completely unaware, and even Quinn did not expect him to be so bold.

Lia's snow-white eyelashes trembled slightly, then she slowly looked at Ris: "Your Majesty, you were likely poisoned years ago, and the toxins weren't completely eliminated... As for the treatment plan, I need to go back and study it; I can't guarantee a complete cure..."

Ris paused for a moment, then said, " Emilia, why don't you come and stay at the palace?"

Quinn's vertical pupils suddenly contracted. " Ris, don't push your luck!"

"Alright, alright, not staying in the palace is fine too. Since Emilia can detect it, she should be able to find a way... Even if she can't, it doesn't matter, I want to give it a try."

He desperately needed it. If he hadn't seen Quinn's bewildered and surprised expression, he would have thought Quinn had told Emilia. But now he was certain that Emilia was absolutely no less skilled than any healer in the galaxy.

Because only Emilia can use her Spiritual Power to quickly diagnose and estimate the duration of poisoning.

The others were diagnosed through medical equipment because the poison he was afflicted with was not simple and could not be detected by Spiritual Power.

But Emilia can!

At first, Ris knew that Emilia had cautiously extended her Spiritual Power tentacles, and he found it quite amusing, so he went along with it. His Spiritual Power seemed to like Emilia's Spiritual Power as well. In his view, his Spiritual Power was just playing around with Emilia's Spiritual Power. He never expected that his troublesome problem would be discovered.

Quinn saw it too, and although he was very jealous, he felt that Lia must have her reasons for doing so.

Only Bai Ze was desperately trying to escape the scene. His sister-in-law was blatantly cheating on his boss; he had no chance of getting out alive!

But what I didn't expect was that my sister-in-law had a reason for what happened!

His mind is corrupt!

When Lia returned home, she was overjoyed to see the pile of treasures she had brought back from the palace.

Quinn felt inferior to his uncle! His uncle didn't know how to please his orcs! He thought money was all it took to buy them whatever they wanted!

"Honey, we haven't ordered a ring yet. How about we have someone come over tomorrow to make one?" Quinn immediately regretted saying it; would his wife think he was too old-fashioned?

Lia seems to really like the culture of Ancient Blue Star, so she probably won't dislike it.

Few orc couples in interstellar space would consider this idea, because they dislike being restrained and feel that having things on their limbs would hinder their combat.

Emilia slowly raised her head, her hand pausing as she opened the gift box Ris had given her. "Are you serious? People make rings in interstellar space? Are you serious?"

Quinn stopped worrying when he heard the excitement and enthusiasm in Lia's voice.

"Yes, it is. Although it's hard to find, I'll give the order, and we'll find it soon."

Sitting on the smooth, clean, dark floor of the living room, Lia, still in her white dress, smiled brightly. "Then I'll have to trouble you with this, honey. I also want a wedding ring; my mom has one too. I really love traditional culture. You understand me best, honey."

Quinn didn't know whose tone Lia was mimicking, but it felt somewhat familiar.

But whatever Lia says sounds good to him; even if Lia scolds him, he still enjoys it.

"Also, I've already informed our parents about the wedding arrangements."

Only then did Lia remember, and she instantly stood up. "Ah! I need to prepare gifts for them! What are their hobbies and interests? Tell me all about them!"

This was the first time Quinn had ever reacted so strongly to Lia; he hadn't even reacted this way when he saw his uncle at the palace.

This shows how much his wife values his parents; it's likely a case of loving the house because of the house.

The Orcs do not value family; even siblings are likely to kill each other, and some races even engage in competition between spouses.

He gently picked the person up. "Don't worry about them."

Lia is very stubborn. Perhaps it's because he has been learning about the Ancient Blue Star culture since childhood, which makes him more like an Ancient Blue Star person. Respecting elders is a must, especially since they are the elders of his partner. He should try his best to win their hearts!

Regardless of whether it will be helpful in the future, as long as I don't cause him any trouble, that's fine.

Lia kept muttering to herself until she was tired and sleepy, then she fell into a deep sleep in Quinn's arms.

The next day

Lia dealt with the ring shop owner who came to take her measurements, and together with Quinn, they selected a men's ring. The style was very particular; rings with few diamonds were difficult to make, and they looked at hundreds of designs before finally settling on one.

In the afternoon, Quinn had some business to attend to and returned to the Academy of Sciences. He was happy to be alone and began to peruse ancient medical texts. Only by determining what poison His Majesty had been poisoned could he prescribe the right medicine.

After a day, Lia had only read one cubic meter of books. Some of the books were so damaged that they would break with the slightest pressure, so he had to read them very carefully, for fear of damaging them.

It wasn't until Quinn returned that Lia swam ashore from the ocean of knowledge, took a deep breath, and her eyes were so blurry that she could see the Chinese characters floating everywhere.

Quinn was too late; he could only use his Spiritual Power to catch his shaky baby and pull him to safety from a distance.

"You've been reading all day?"

Lia fell into the man's arms and slowly closed her eyes. "Yes..."

Quinn felt a pang of heartache. "Maybe we should just forget about it. Anyway, Ris won't die."

Lia chuckled. "You really are a good nephew to your uncle. But it's not entirely for his sake; I just think it's always good to have more skills and learn more things."

Quinn felt utterly ashamed and gently kissed his lips, his voice hoarse, "Wife, I love you."

A barrage of kisses rained down on him, and Lia could only catch them. Unwilling to be led astray, he clung to them in return.
