In the study, Quinn recounted the story of the gemstone incident at the mall to Big Tiger.
The large tiger on the other side of the screen looked very imposing, and its deep voice echoed in the study.
"Understood. I'll handle this. Also, I'll be sending people over there soon. No matter how strong your security is, don't let your guard down. Recently, the royalists have been eyeing your partner. His abilities have already spread through the Leopard family, the Halley Family. Lia might become a target of fierce competition. You need to be careful."
Quinn's face immediately darkened upon hearing this, his eyes instantly filled with a sinister and ruthless light. "Anyone who dares to come should be prepared to be torn apart!"
The big tiger was also taken aback when it saw its son's increasingly gloomy expression. The fierceness with which this wife guarded her food was no less than his own back then.
His Klein was born to a different mother than Princess Ris. When he married Klein, the number of women trying to steal her away could circle the Central Star.
Even after marriage, they still had to guard against other orcs taking advantage of their vulnerability.
Fortunately, his Klein would accompany him every time he went to the front lines.
"Alright, let's stop here for now. We're planning to move next door to you in a while, which will also help you get rid of the bedbugs around here while you're busy."
Quinn snapped out of his daze, "Really?"
"It's not free."
Whether it was an ingrained gene of never wanting to be taken advantage of, he curled his lips into a cruel smile and rejected the marshal, "Buy the house yourself. My money is going to be used to support my wife. I haven't spent a single penny of your money in all these years I've been away, and I've even given you guys a lot of nice things."
The big tiger on the other end fell silent.
Then Quinn added, "And don't think I don't know you two just want to freeload. Saying you'd stay next door and protect your daughter-in-law? Do I look like an idiot?"
Big Tiger: "... Son, we're family, no need for formalities. I have some things to take care of, see you in two days."
After hanging up the phone, the big tiger immediately contacted his adjutant to buy the townhouse next to Quinn's.
These past two days, my wife has been craving delicious cakes and can't even eat her nutritional supplements. If this continues, my precious wife is going to run away from home to find her daughter-in-law!
In that case, it would be better if they moved there voluntarily.

at the same time
In a corner of Quinn's house.
After diligent study, the cicada finally flew to the wall, but what smells so good?
He looked around and finally spotted a potted green plant in the corner, its rich fragrance wafting out.
This plant is tempting him!
He swallowed hard, and after a few minutes he finally lost his temper. It was just a plate of plants, what danger could it possibly pose?
He flew to the slippery, cylindrical opening of the unfamiliar plant and slowly poked his head inside.
However, one wrong step can lead to eternal regret.
His entire insect body fell in, and he was about to be submerged before he could even taste the liquid. He couldn't breathe, and when he tried to use his Spiritual Power, he found that his body was like a drunkard, unable to release any Spiritual Power at all. His limbs gradually became weak...
Lia, who was fast asleep at home, simply turned over and had no idea what had happened.
ˉ
As night fell, Quinn, having finished his work, entered the room and woke the man with a kiss on the sofa, his movements gradually becoming more and more dazed.
"Hmm..."
Feeling the changes in his body, he was forced to wake up from his drowsiness. He looked at Quinn with his eyes closed, very devout and serious. If you ignored his hands, Lia would find it very romantic.
He pushed Quinn away with a little force. "Okay, stop fooling around, what time is it?"
Quinn opened his eyes, looking somewhat aggrieved, "Wife, I want to..."
Lia: "No, you don't want to."
Quinn: "Okay, Mom and Dad said they're moving next door to us in the next couple of days and wanted to know your thoughts."
Lia raised an eyebrow, feeling a surge of emotion. She had lost her mother at a young age, and her father had neglected her.
But after meeting Quinn's parents, he felt a sense of warmth and enjoyed their care. Even though they were wild beasts, he felt they wouldn't harm him and would protect him.
And Klein so gentle, he always considers his feelings when he speaks. Plus, Klein is a master mecha maker, which is really cool! Klein can also teach him how to fight in coordination with his mecha, New Moon.
He originally wanted Quinn to teach him this, but judging from the past two days, he was afraid that Quinn would start teaching other things while he was teaching.
"I would be happy if they lived nearby, and even happier if they lived next door. The harvest season is coming soon, and I'd like them to see it together!"
Lia's eyes were like shimmering lake water, making Quinn's heart pound again. He slowly lifted her up and sat her up. "Wife, you're so adorable. I'm really about to reach my limit."
Lia: "..." Everyone says snakes are... it seems it's true."
"It's not daytime now, you can't use the excuse of not being able to do that during the day again."
In the end, Lia softened.
ˉ
After a fierce battle, Quinn finally emerged victorious, and the soft, adorable girl nestled on his shoulder.
The man smiled contentedly, "Wife, I'll go cook for you. What would you like to eat?"
Lia was so tired that she spoke slowly, "I'd like corn and minced meat, chicken wings, and noodles with minced meat sauce, is that okay?"
Quinn thought for a moment, "Noodles... I don't think we have any."
Lia: "Oh right, although we have less common ingredients like flour, we don't have noodles."
Quinn: "Hmm, noodles can be made with flour, right?"
Lia nodded slowly. "It's a bit complicated. Let's not eat this tonight. I'm hungry too. Let's cook some porridge first. I want something light."
Lia's body is recovering quickly. She doesn't feel much pain, but she also doesn't have much of an appetite. It's probably because she met too many people today and is mentally exhausted.
"Okay, can I take a shower by myself?"
"Yes, I'm in very good health now."
"So what is my wife hinting at?" The man picked him up and carried him toward the bathroom.
It's a subtle way of telling you to stop bothering me.
"That won't do. Look at you lately, you don't seem to feel any fever at all, do you? I should have stopped your heat cycle."
"You have the nerve to say that? Luckily I'm a guy, I wouldn't do that unless I was induced by pheromones from the same race."
Quinn chuckled. "Yes, you're right. I should get all the hamster beastmen on Central Star to move out immediately."
"Hahaha, you're really asking for a beating. You're a good candidate to be a space pirate. If you had become a space pirate, I bet you'd be the leader by now."
Quinn smiled and gently placed the man into the warm water that he had prepared using his Spiritual Power, then lightly kissed his forehead.
"Alright, the pirate leader is going to cook for his dear wife now."
