Cheng Qingye couldn’t hold himself together anymore.
His entire body lay limp on the bed, extrely weak.
Rock and Ian, tied up and tossed on the ground, were almost unable to maintain their human forms.
With a ripping sound, Ian’s Big Clamp tore through his clothes and was directly exposed.
Cheng Qingye glanced at him, "Don’t wreck my room."
Ian reluctantly lowered the clamp and lay back down, completely devoid of fighting spirit.
In the room next door, Su Hu was sound asleep, seemingly having a sweet dream, occasionally letting out a chuckle.
Ling Ge transford into human form and sat by the table, absent-mindedly chewing on a Nutritional Supplent.
His Companion Beast had sohow surfaced from his Spiritual Sea, bouncing up and down in the air, looking very excited.
Ling Ge snapped out of it, whispered, "What’s the matter, darling?"
Little White’s fluffy tail trembled, a faint blush coloring its fur.
"Are you about to go berserk?" Ling Ge’s heart tightened suddenly.
Although Empire’s experience suggests that herbivorous Companion Beasts are less destructive when berserk than carnivorous ones, as the beast’s owner, he never wanted to see his Companion Beast berserk.
This could threaten both his own and others’ safety!
Moreover, here in this place called the Federation, there are no inhibitors!
If a berserk fit isn’t cald quickly, what awaits him is death.
Ling Ge stood up nervously, pacing back and forth in the room, murmuring, "What do I do, what do I do?"
Little White stared at its owner walking around like a fool, a flicker of disdain passing through its red eyes.
How could such a smart bunny belong to such a blockhead?
Little White floated onto Ling Ge’s Light Brain on his wrist, pointing at it with a tiny paw.
Ling Ge halted his steps, puzzled, staring at his near-useless Light Brain.
The signal here is dreadful, if not for his habit of storing movies, he’d really be bored to death these days.
"Darling, you want to watch a movie with ?" Ling Ge whispered again.
Little White: ...
Companion Beasts cannot communicate verbally with humans, so Little White anxiously bounced up and down on the Light Brain.
Though unable to damage it, it still made Ling Ge tense.
"Don’t panic, darling. I’ll open the movie now."
He quickly clicked twice, preparing to play a movie, but noticed an email had appeared unbeknownst to him.
Ling Ge instinctively clicked open the email.
[Dear Lord Ling Ge, please inform us of your location, and we will imdiately dispatch personnel to rescue you and your wife. — Zero]
Ling Ge’s pupils contracted, "Oh my heavens!"
His voice shot up several octaves, "Zero actually sent an email?"
Who is Zero? The highest leader of Zero Star! Soone he could only dream of eting!
In his overwhelming excitent, Ling Ge completely ignored the words "your wife", quickly blabbering a voice ssage back.
After sending the ssage, Ling Ge looked excitedly at Little White, "Darling, we’re saved, boohoo."
Little White: ...
Too caught up, Ling Ge hadn’t noticed Su Hu had woken up.
He stared at Ling Ge intensely.
By the ti Ling Ge realized, Su Hu had already been watching him for a long ti.
Ling Ge: ...
Damn.
In a flash of white light, Ling Ge transford back into a plump rabbit.
Su Hu gazed at the lump of a rabbit on the floor, an expression of realization on his face.
"So it was just a dream."
He muttered and went back to sleep, soon resuming snoring in the room.
Ling Ge: ...
This Su Hu must be the dumbest person on the entire ship.
——————
Empire, on Zero Star.
Three days have passed.
It’s been three days since Zero sent out the email but still received no reply.
This made everyone on Zero Star very anxious.
They ran the data from Ling Ge’s incident through their programs repeatedly, predicting his chance of survival.
Every ti the prediction cos out as 0.001%.
Nearly zero.
If not for the "dispatch percentage 100" data, they’d assu just another human lost to Exotic Beasts; while the code felt sorry, they wouldn’t feel anxious.
They’re long accustod to human demise, it’s the natural law bestowed on humanity by the universe.
But they received that "dispatch percentage 100" data.
It signifies that an Empire offspring will be born.
Offspring, the term seemingly existing only in core code, awakened their deepest core desire.
They craved the offspring’s arrival.
But now, Ling Ge, who would allow the offspring’s birth, and his wife are missing, perhaps even dead.
This made all robots on Zero Star increasingly irritable.
As Zero, Zero Star’s leader even began gathering combat robots, preparing to embark on a campaign against Exotic Beasts.
Anything daring to harm offspring, regardless of what it is, must die!
The disturbances on Zero Star drew attention from the other four major stars, with Wanling Star closest feeling the biggest ripple.
They started suspecting whether Zero Star was about to incite another large-scale uprising. Right now, they can’t afford a war with robots.
The annual wars with Exotic Beasts have already left them exhausted, with Companion Beasts’ rampages, the most severe issue being birth rates.
Combatting robots would be for the young adults, who may perish in this war, and once young adults die, it ans fewer couples to potentially give birth.
At that point, humanity would truly face extinction.
All these reasons made them unwilling to battle Zero Star’s people.
So Wanling Star’s citizens petitioned their leader, urging no war.
Half an hour later, a statent was issued to every citizen’s email.
The leader assured them there would be no war with Zero Star’s robots, reassuring everyone.
With this assurance, the citizens cald down.
Yet Zero Star’s frequent actions still worried them, forcing them to keep monitoring the movents there.
As turmoil brewed on the Empire’s side, Su Ruan and others were finally nearing Wood Peach Star.
Since that dream, Su Ruan and Lu Shinian had tacitly not ntioned matters of their previous lives.
Lu Shinian returned to the room daily to coax Su Ruan to sleep, accompanying her for a bit before heading to the cockpit.
Su Ruan mostly purified Energy Stones, occasionally visiting Cheng Qingye for a chat.
The days slipped by, and in two days, the ship would arrive at Wood Peach Star.
Su Ruan specially went to the cockpit to find Lu Shinian, handing him purified Energy Stones in a Space Button.
Lu Shinian chuckled softly, taking the Space Button and simultaneously pulling Su Ruan into his arms.
