Chapter 174

Five years later

Time flies like an arrow.

Ever since Huo Qi and Mu Jiao returned from Chixing, Mu Jiao has been living on Chengtongxing, and her work and life have gradually returned to normal.

As for Huo Qi, he spent some time living in the manor in the first year after he came back, but later as his physical condition gradually became public, Huo Qi became increasingly busier.

He rarely came back in the past three years. In the few times he came back, he just accompanied Mu Jiao for a meal, chatted with her, and then gave her a lot of very interesting and novel gifts.

It wasn't long before his subordinates reminded him to leave in a hurry...

Every time Mu Jiao saw Brother Qi, who had been as busy as ever for years, leave again, she couldn't help but sigh. Being a prince of this country really wasn't something everyone could do! Not only was he so busy every day that he'd barely be able to touch the ground, but he also had to work year-round.

After seeing Huo Qi off, Mu Jiao returned to her room and, as expected, saw a pile of various gifts that had been placed in her room without her noticing...

If it were before, Mu Jiao would have been very interested in opening them one by one. The gifts that Brother Qi brought were always very interesting, such as the tail feathers of a strange beast from a certain planet that would emit colorful light at night, and beautiful meteorites... But now, Mu Jiao had more important things to do.

Over the past five years, Mu Jiao has further deepened her research on gene collapse disorder and has also developed her own talents and skills.

To be honest, Mu Jiao still finds it incredible that she can awaken her innate power.

However, perhaps due to her low mental and physical strength, her awakening age was several years earlier. Although she had awakened such a special talent, after years of hard training, she still had not reached the beginner level. She had only just begun to master her talent skills this year.

This cultivation speed is not even one-fifth of the average interstellar cultivation level, let alone being on par with those powerful ones. This shows that even if she was lucky enough to awaken her innate power, she would still be the last one in the class.

Mu Jiao shook her head and stopped thinking about the "bad things" about cultivating her innate power.

Brother Qi came back this time to discuss with me his plan to publicly release a method of using medicinal food to treat gene collapse syndrome.

According to common sense, if Mu Jiao had not appeared, Huo Qi's physical condition would not have lasted more than two years. After two years, if he was still alive, it would inevitably arouse public speculation.

So, instead of doing that, it is better to disclose it slowly.

As early as four years ago, they made plans to make the use of medicinal food to treat gene collapse disorder public.

Because Mu Jiao's research on the treatment of gene collapse disorder with traditional Chinese medicine was not comprehensive at that time and needed time to verify and summarize, they planned to disclose it slowly, first stating that Huo Qi was participating in an experiment on gene collapse disorder, and then slowly disclose it over the next few years.

“Boo, boo, boo.” Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, I’m hungry!!!

Mu Jiao was lying on the ground sorting out various manuscripts on medicinal food proportions when suddenly a crying bear came over to her.

After five years, the little guy Mengmeng has grown a little bit. His two front feet are off the ground, and when the whole bear stands up, he is as tall as Mujiao.

As the master, Mu Jiao has grown taller in the past five years. Although she is still a little shorter than her peers, she has reached 168 cm. She is still very slender, but fortunately her chest has also risen and fallen, and it is finally not flat. She has gradually grown up.

Mu Jiao had learned from books that humans continue to develop before reaching adulthood at the age of thirty. That meant she still had six or seven years of growth to go, and she could still grow taller and have greater curves.
