The Empire won.

The Zerg Queen is dead.

Eighty percent of the remaining Zerg were killed by the Empire, and the other 20 percent fled the battlefield. However, the Empire has already sent people to hunt them down to prevent the Zerg from having a chance to revive.

Of course, Ning Miaomiao doesn’t need to be involved in the subsequent pursuit.

As one of the heroes who killed the Zerg Queen, Ning Miaomiao certainly didn't have to worry about the subsequent pursuit. As soon as she returned to the base, the president asked her to go back and rest.

She was indeed a little tired, so she went back to sleep for a night, and when she woke up, she was ready to go out and look for the second prince.

As soon as the door opened, I saw Tan Shaoning standing at the door of the room in a daze.

The moment the door opened, Tan Shaoning shuddered and asked, "Are you awake?"

"Why are you guarding here?" Ning Miaomiao looked at his still pale face and shook her head. "Aren't you injured? If you are injured, you should rest well."

Among those who went to find the Zerg Queen this time, only Ning Miaomiao was not injured, she was just a little tired.

Tan Shaoning's injury was actually not light. Even with the advanced treatment methods in this era, he still needed to have a good rest.

"I wanted to come see you." Tan Shaoning smiled. "My injury has almost healed. Are you going out? I want to go with you."

Ning Miaomiao looked at him, her eyes lingering for a moment on his clenched fists. Then she said, "Okay, then come with me. I just want to see if there are many people who need treatment. If there are many, I'll go and help."

Tan Shaoning was happy when he heard Ning Miaomiao's agreement. He followed Ning Miaomiao to find the second prince. The second prince was actually quite busy, after all, there were still a lot of follow-up matters.

There are still many places that need to be checked one by one.

But he was busy willingly.

Hearing Ning Miaomiao coming over, he smiled so hard that his teeth showed, even more enthusiastic than before: "Master Ning, you're here? Is there something you want to talk to me about? We will take care of the follow-up matters, don't worry."

"I want to ask what happened to the soldiers in other places." Ning Miaomiao asked, "They also took action in other places at that time. I guess many people were infected with mental pollution?"

This is a fact.

Speaking of other places, the Second Prince was silent for a moment, and then he said: "It is true that many people have been mentally polluted, but they can still be controlled. Those who can't be controlled have been sent to SS-level catnip."

There will no longer be large-scale mental pollution, and it is still not too late to treat it in turns.

"Is that so..." Ning Miaomiao thought for a moment, "Actually, I can help."

"Just rest well..." The Second Prince was stunned for a moment before changing his tone. "Don't run around for now. If you feel unwell, we have more doctors here. Wait a couple of days and see. If you're fine, you can go wherever you want in the next couple of days."

With the Second Prince's words, Ning Miaomiao was no longer in a hurry to go over.

The Second Prince was about to let them go back, but he suddenly thought of something: "Oh, about your legion... don't worry. Wait until you're done with the Zerg, and then you can recruit soldiers together."

Ning Miaomiao nodded in agreement.

Two days passed quickly. During these two days, Ning Miaomiao did not stay in the room all the time, but often went out for a walk.

People who saw Ning Miaomiao respected her more than before, and they would salute her from a distance.

However, despite their admiration for her, most people were too embarrassed to talk to her.

However, those who had gone to kill the Zerg Queen together came to see her several times.

She was not the only one who was asked to rest for a few days to observe her physical condition. Those who had previously gone to the Zerg Queen had to stay in the base for examination first.

Those who were previously soldiers in the army were fine, but there were two SS-level ones who were not soldiers.

They felt bored staying at the base, so they tentatively came to find Ning Miaomiao.

Although Ning Miaomiao was a little surprised by this, they were all comrades who had fought side by side. Besides, it was really boring to recuperate. Later, when they chatted, they found that they actually got along quite well.

These two SS-level mecha pilots had always been interstellar explorers, and they did not want to join the legion and restrict themselves.

However, after getting a little familiar with Ning Miaomiao, they hesitantly talked about something.

"You want to follow me?" Ning Miaomiao was really confused.

These two are not ordinary people, but SS-level mecha masters. Now they say they want to follow her?

"Yes." One of the young men, Zhao Lin, was a little embarrassed. He explained to Ning Miaomiao, "Before, I was alone. It didn't matter if I went out and took risks and wandered around."

"But now that I have a sweetheart and the danger from the Zerg is gone, I'm thinking of finding something else to do. Of course, I also have my own little thoughts. I really want to follow you."

"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have made it back safely, let alone without our strength being affected."

Ning Miaomiao's expression became a little strange when she heard what he said.

She couldn't help but look at the other person. Seeing his expression, the other young man quickly explained, "I just want to follow you. There are so many people who want to follow you now. I think this is a bargain because Zhang and you know each other."

"Besides, you did save our lives. It shouldn't be a big deal to have two more of us, right?"

His tone was uncertain and his expression was anxious.

Although she didn't know how things had developed to this point, there was one thing Ning Miaomiao still wanted to tell them.

"The Empire will soon have the Fourteenth Legion, and I will be its commander. I don't need so many people around me, but if you're willing to stay, you can join the legion and help me."

Both of them were stunned.

Ning Miaomiao added, "But you didn't want to join the legion before..."

"No, no, no, we do!"

The two of them were shocked and agreed immediately.

Ning Miaomiao was stunned.

She was still a little confused when the two young men quickly said, "Then it's settled. Thank you, Planter Ning, for taking us in. We won't bother you for now."

After saying that, the two of them seemed to be afraid that Ning Miaomiao would refuse, so they quickly slipped away.

Ning Miaomiao: “…”

To be honest, she still doesn't understand what's going on between these two people.

Tan Shaoning couldn't help but laugh when she saw her expression. "Don't be surprised. I don't know how many people want to follow you now."

"Why are you following me?" Ning Miaomiao muttered.

"You're an SSS-level planter, so of course they want to follow you."

On the one hand, it is protection, and on the other hand, of course, it is welfare.

All in all, Tan Shaoning was very happy that they came to Ning Miaomiao for help.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I still have to recruit people anyway." Ning Miaomiao is not someone who would worry about these things.

After spending a few days together, she could see that these two people were indeed quite good.

Since she planned to stay, she had to establish a legion.

It's good to have two strong people to help.

Putting this matter aside, she turned to another matter: "I'm going to go somewhere else to see the wounded tomorrow. Will you come with me, or stay here and wait for me?"

"I'll go with you." Tan Shaoning said without hesitation.

Ning Miaomiao knew this would be the answer. She looked at the young man in front of her, feeling a little dazed.

Because she found that she really didn't hate him.

Because of Ning Miaomiao's silence, Tan Shaoning's heart skipped a beat, and he thought that Ning Miaomiao didn't want to take him with her.

So when Ning Miaomiao came to her senses, the person in front of her turned into a big lion.

The big white lion had a pair of blue eyes that seemed to be filled with starlight. He looked at Ning Miaomiao, then stood up and rubbed her hand with his head.

This was the first time Tan Shaoning took the initiative.

Although he had his own little thoughts before, and often turned into a big lion when he was alone with Ning Miaomiao, he always lay down obediently at that time, and it was Ning Miaomiao who took the initiative to pet the lion.

Now that he took the initiative, Ning Miaomiao was indeed surprised.

Seeing Ning Miaomiao's expression, Tan Shaoning also realized what he had done.

He felt the temperature in his brain transfer to his face, and then to his body, and now his whole body was burning hot.

The big lion froze for a moment, then immediately lay on the ground, covering its face with its two paws.

Seeing him like this, Ning Miaomiao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Tan Shaoning looked at his face, partly because he was shy, and partly because he was impulsive and was afraid that Ning Miaomiao would be angry because of what he had just done.

As a result, he heard Ning Miaomiao's laughter?

Doesn't this look lifeless?

The big lion showed one eye and wanted to take a peek, only to find that Ning Miaomiao's face was very close to him.

Then his cheeks were cupped.

At that time, his heart would beat wildly when he looked at her face getting closer and closer, and then her tender profile rubbed the hair on his cheek.

"Why are you so cute?"

Tan Shaoning: “!!!”

His brain went into a state of panic, and he felt dizzy as if he had been stroked from head to toe. When he came to his senses, he was already lying on the bed, with a head resting on his soft abdomen, breathing evenly, as if he had fallen asleep.

Big Lion: “…”

Wait...wait a minute, although he has expressed his feelings, his sweetheart is not yet an adult. It’s not good for them to be alone in a room like this, right?

But she had fallen asleep, and Tan Shaoning was reluctant to wake her up.

Then sneak away?

Thinking of this, Tan Shaoning moved himself outside very gently and slowly.

As he moved, he bit a pillow and slowly stuffed it under Ning Miaomiao's head.

Just when he was about to succeed, Ning Miaomiao turned over and hugged him.

Big Lion: “…”

His whole body was stiff, and just as he tried to struggle, he found himself being held tighter.

He was frozen for a long time, then he closed his eyes and lay down on the bed.

He is an emotionless pillow, he is a motionless doll.

He didn't move, speak, or open his eyes until Ning Miaomiao woke up.

The big lion accepted his fate, but he didn't know that after he closed his eyes, Ning Miaomiao, who he thought was asleep, opened her eyes and looked at him.

Then the corners of his lips curled up, and he couldn't help but smile. After closing his eyes, he really fell asleep.

──

When the lion woke up the next day, his whole body was numb because he had been sitting in the same position for a long time.

After waking up, Ning Miaomiao smiled and rubbed his paws: "Why are you so silly that you don't even know to move?"

"Hiss, it's so numb!"

Tan Shaoning's claws were stiff at first, but after they recovered, they became numb.

He froze again, not daring to move.

After a long while, when the numbness passed, he tentatively moved his claws.

"I was afraid of waking you up." Tan Shaoning was still a little uncomfortable. After a pause, he tentatively said, "Next time I'll prepare you a plush pillow like mine."

"I actually slept very well last night. It's not impossible to have the plush pillow you mentioned, but is there one on this side of the border?" Ning Miaomiao lowered her eyes, looking a little lost. "Don't you want to be next to me..."

"No!" Tan Shaoning denied subconsciously.

"It's okay, I won't force you next time." Ning Miaomiao said softly.

Tan Shaoning felt anxious and blurted out: "You are still a minor."

Ning Miaomiao didn't say anything, just shook her shoulders.

This looks like crying.

Tan Shaoning felt very uncomfortable and quickly explained to Ning Miaomiao: "I'm not talking about you. I'm afraid of myself. I'm afraid that I will do something inappropriate."

Ning Miaomiao's shoulders shook again.

"If you like my animal form, you can be my pillow anytime you want in the future." Tan Shaoning couldn't bear it anymore and promised immediately.

"Puchi." Ning Miaomiao finally couldn't help but make a sound.

She raised her head, her eyes sparkling, the corners of her lips curled up, with an obvious smile. She didn't look sad at all as Tan Shaoning thought.

"That's what you said."

Tan Shaoning had no idea that he had been deceived. He felt helpless, but also happy.

Anyway...anyway, he will just turn into an animal form in the future and treat himself as a stuffed toy.

Who doesn’t like their loved one to be close to them?

At worst... he'll just think of a solution.

So the next night, when Ning Miaomiao finished treating the patients at the new base and returned to her room to rest, she saw a little snow lion cub.

The snow lion cub was really only as big as a pillow, and its fur looked very smooth. Its four short legs tossed around on the bed, and then it lay obediently at the head of the bed, raised its head and looked at Ning Miaomiao, its voice also very babyish.

"Miao Miao, I'll be your pillow."

Ning Miaomiao, who had indeed not expected this action, said: "..."

But the little lion looks cuter!

Ning Miaomiao seemed to have no idea what politeness was, and she went up and picked up the little lion.

Little Lion: “…”

"Miao...Miaomiao, what are you doing?" The little lion subconsciously grew taller twice, but did not struggle.

Ning Miaomiao smiled and said, "I don't want you to be my pillow today. I want you to be my hug pillow."

Little Lion: “???”

"Isn't this inappropriate?!"

"There's nothing inappropriate. You're just a lion cub, what are you afraid of?"

The little lion who was hugged tightly: "..."

The little short claws could no longer struggle free.

The little lion gave up on himself and closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.

Ning Miaomiao touched his little paws and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will be responsible for you."

Tan Shaoning: "..."

Listen, isn’t she stealing his lines?

The little lion opened his mouth and said, "You said that!"

It doesn’t matter whether there are lines or not, what matters is the result!
