"Then come over here!"

The medicated watermelon has been thrown all over their skin; now all that's left is to wait two seconds.

One, two, down!

Zhou Wu's eyes widened in disbelief; he had actually been defeated by a watermelon.

Seeing Julie's subordinates lying on the ground, Lu Yulan hadn't even made a move when Xiao Zhu quickly used its claws to pull out all the white jade buckles from their bodies.

Zhou Wu had the most, a total of thirty, and it's unclear whether he received kickbacks in the process.

Chi Huo looked at the pile of white jade buckles, his eyes darting around, "Zhou Wu, why do you have more than fifty on you? I know now, being Miss Julie's lackey really makes a difference, haven't you been lining your own pockets?"

This voice was obviously not meant for Zhou Wu, but for someone else. Although their body was anesthetized, their hearing was not damaged, right?

Lu Yulan cleared her throat, "You, you're making false accusations! I only had forty!"

Zhou Wu's mouth was already covered, so he could only watch helplessly as Lu Yulan and Chi Huo sang back and forth. He felt like he had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat and was about to die of anger.

"Alright, let's leave now."

Watching Chi Huo and the others bury them in the sand, Lu Yulan estimated the time; if it went on any longer, Julie would probably start to get suspicious.

"Alright, Miss Lan, let's go quickly."

And so, the group was happy all the way, but their happiness didn't last long, because they still hadn't made it out of the desert by nightfall.

...

Looking at the watermelon patch in front of me, so dense and neat, these watermelons must be Virgos, growing so perfectly round. However, watermelons grown in the wild without human care shouldn't be this plump and smooth.

Thinking this, and seeing that Chi Huo and the others were about to make a move again, Lu Yulan seemed to have an idea.

He called out to them, "Wait, are there humans on Zhihe Star?"

She originally thought Zhihe Star was just a small planet, but after walking for two days, she still hadn't left this desert, and all the watermelons she passed looked like this. There were even biting fish in that oasis.

The reason I knew it was Zhihe Star was because the address was marked on the letter, but it was a very small word, and I don't know if others noticed it.

After Lu Yulan asked this question, Chi Huo looked at her blankly, then took a bite of the charred snake meat.

He shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

The eldest of the three candidates suddenly changed his expression, "Miss Lan, this cannot be said."

"kindness……?"

The Empire has many planets, and Lu Yulan wasn't really sure about them. She was just asking casually, because if her guess was right, then... that wouldn't be good.

"Let's keep our voices down."

Several people gathered together. The leader looked at them and cautiously began to speak, “Zhihe Star is known for its simple and honest people. Although it has been incorporated into the Empire, it is considered an independent planet. Its diameter is the largest among all A-class planets, and it is rich in resources. However, the Empire has never interfered or attempted to govern it.”

"Why...what?"

Chi Huo continued eating roasted meat jerky because he was bored.

"Because the legendary race of giants lives on Zhihe Star. They are incredibly strong, and they eat raw meat and drink blood. In any case, they can't communicate with us ordinary people. My former teacher just told us about these strange and wonderful people. But, Miss Lan, why are you asking this?"
