Lia stood by the window.
The sky was just beginning to lighten, and the air felt a bit stuffy; breathing wasn't very easy today.
I wonder if his beautiful father is alright. Speaking of which... I didn't see Hu'er when I was thrown to the Edge Star that day. The Azure Wolf Clan of the Edge Star has done more than one bad thing.
Was it truly the joint decision of his father and stepmother to throw him onto a desolate planet? He had only heard the side of the story from the person who kidnapped him.
Over the years, although his father didn't show him much affection, he also didn't bully him, and would occasionally bring him some candy.
He only realized how scarce sugar was after he left the outer planet and arrived at the Central Star.
He was starting to lose track of whether his father was good or bad.
If the father were a villain, he probably would have been abandoned long ago, right? After all, no one likes a sickly person with both Spiritual Power at an F- level.
By the way, where did the medical pod he used as a child come from? He had a private stash that his father didn't know about, and never even asked.
My stepmother's family doesn't seem like they'd be willing to help.
When his Qinglang brothers and sisters were around, his father always seemed indifferent to him, never even giving him a glance. His stepmother would always snort coldly when she saw him, or look down on him as she passed by, her eyes revealing undisguised disgust for the weak and disabled.
Ah, these are details I hadn't thought of before, but I keep thinking about them lately.
Lia wondered if she was having a relapse; she had decided never to speak to her father again, but she was still a little worried.
The name of a plant was suddenly whispered out of his mouth.
He activated his personal terminal and communicated with Quinn.
The person on the other side of the screen seemed to be standing behind some kind of large piece of machinery.
He felt that Quinn didn't seem like someone from the Beastman Empire, but rather like someone from the Mechanical Duchy.
The citizens of the Mechanical Duchy are almost entirely robots. In the distant Gamma Galaxy, there is a civilization completely dominated by machines.
"Honey, did you miss me? Or were you hungry? I put a cake in the fridge for you, and also..."
Quinn instantly shed his serious, meticulous work demeanor, his white uniform gleaming brightly, and beneath it, Lia couldn't help but recall last night.
It truly is something you both love and hate.
He had to admit that he was enjoying it. Right now, he was like a pervert, staring at Quinn's body the moment he saw her!
Luo Beishi Shi Emilia, you're such a... scoundrel!
After uttering a self-reproach, Lia remembered his father and interrupted Quinn's concerned yet rambling words.
" Quinn, I remember you said you'd send someone to the Azure Wolf Clan. Could you have someone kidnap my father?"
Lia himself had some selfish motives. When he was a child, he was jealous of his father smiling in front of his older siblings, while he could only shrink alone in a corner.
Now, he wants to ask his father why he's been so distant, especially since his father has never given him candy.
He didn't want to doubt it.
Lately, however, he has been thinking about his father a lot, and this powerful thought has made his heart yearn to see him.
Quinn paused for a moment on the other end of the line. Father-in-law! He had thought his father-in-law was a villain. Luckily, he hadn't blown up the Qinglang's den.
With a sense of relief, she narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "When did our Lia learn this method? It's a bit domineering, but it's quite interesting."
Lia was speechless; she hadn't expected Quinn to have such a wicked sense of humor.
"How long will it take to get here from Edge Star 19208?" Lia asked again.
Quinn didn't know everything. He chuckled as he used his personal computer to search synchronously and obtained the information, "After two jumps, it will take approximately two days and two nights to arrive at the Central Star."
Receiving a reply relieved Lia somewhat; perhaps his nervousness stemmed from his underlying unease.
After a moment's thought, he asked bluntly, "Wouldn't it be very difficult to get my father out of the wolf's den?"
Quinn shook his head. "Don't worry, the people over there will figure out the optimal solution. Just stay home and wait."
"Dean, please take a look at the report from the third test."
Bai Ze, wearing round silver-rimmed glasses, brought over a report, and Lia realized she had disturbed the work of the family's breadwinner.
"Thank you for your help. Go ahead and get busy, Quinn. See you tonight."
Quinn's expression turned cold immediately upon Bai Ze's appearance, but he still spoke gently to Lia, "Wife, see you tonight. I'll have someone take care of what you asked me to do right away."
The screen went out.
Lia felt an inexplicable sense of irritation growing stronger.
Damn it.
How could he forget that he also sheds fox blood? The kinship ties among foxes are the strongest, and if something bad happens to a relative, the children or parents will feel very uneasy.
So annoying! So annoying!
In the end, Lia could only force herself to calm down using Breathing Technique, and even harvesting the vegetables was done by several researchers.
However, they also gained something during the harvesting process.
Practical activities also help to provide them with inspiration.

A certain edge star
Rewind to last night
The Hu'er, emerging from its hole, was surprised to find a wolf waiting for it outside.
Several strong men beat him up, then carried him back to another courtyard where he was kept, put him in a medical pod for treatment, and then locked him up again.
Back in the iron cage, the fox let out mournful cries. If there were no hope, it would be alright. But after the joy came tears of despair.
He reverted to his original form, like a dying white fox, weak and powerless, curled up in a cage—the cold iron cage where he had been imprisoned for years.
A moment later
"Knock knock"
The sound of high heels clicking made the Hu'er tremble uncontrollably.
With his eyes closed, he knew from the sound that the woman was back.
The woman unlocked the door, went inside, and picked him up.
"Sweetie, are you jealous? Because I didn't come to see you. Why are you shaking? Are you so afraid of me?"
A barrage of questions was thrown at Hu'er Hu'er could only say: No, you're overthinking it.
The next second, the wolf girl said, "What? You don't want to revert to human form and let me see your pretty face?"
A hand with red nail polish gently stroked his soft white fur, but wherever it touched, it only made the Hu'er feel humiliated.
But he was helpless and could only be slaughtered.
After being injured that year, my Spiritual Power dropped to B Rank. Now, let alone killing someone, I'd be caught even if I took two steps.
"Why aren't you saying anything! Luo, haven't I been giving you too much credit? Over the years, I've not only given you a title and status, what more could you possibly want?"
She paused, then a smile suddenly appeared on the woman's face, which was contorted with a mixture of heartbreak and rage. "More than ten years! I gave you time, waited for you for more than ten years, and you still couldn't get it up. Now, I've only glanced at another fox, and you dare to run away behind my back! You're such an ungrateful wretch!"
Hu'er Luo:...
