"You bought so much!"

Shen Meiren chuckled.

"I have no money. Does General Chi have any?"

"Yes, I have lots and lots of money. If it's not enough, I'll work hard to earn more. I'll always be able to earn it back."

Chi Yuan pressed his nose tightly against Shen Yulou's neck, greedily inhaling his scent, while his arms wrapped around Shen Meiren's waist tighter and tighter.

"Okay, I'll work hard to sell desserts and earn money so I can open a branch."

May sweet pastries circulate throughout the universe!

In Shen Yulou's plan, the dessert shops located on the battlefield and in military camps would be free gifts to the soldiers, created out of love and dedication.

However, if you open a shop in a place away from battlefields and military camps, such as a bustling city, shopping mall, park, or campus, then you'll have to charge a fee.

Whether you charge a lot or a little, you still need to recoup your labor costs.

oh!

Stores located in orphanages and nursing homes can also be opened for free.

Shen Meiren muttered to herself, already starting to think about her dessert shop's business empire.

"With so many branches, can you manage to keep up?"

Chi Yuan pouted, not wanting Shen Yulou to go through so much trouble.

"Are you stupid? I've raised so many plants. When they turn into little elves, if they want to come and live in the human world, they can inherit my mantle."

"When the time comes, I'll let these little elves join my brand store and give them a franchise fee. That way, I can get money, and the little elves can also make money."

"A win-win situation, hehehe."

Shen Yulou became more and more satisfied with what he thought about it, and couldn't wait to go back and implement his business empire.

"Aren't you really comfortable with those little elves? Aren't you worried that their dessert-making skills might be subpar and damage your brand's reputation?"

"No! No one is allowed to tarnish the reputation of our Sweet Dessert Shop."

Hearing Chi Yuan's words, Shen Yulou felt confident.

“Every little elf who comes to join us is my apprentice. I will definitely teach them everything I know and provide them with dessert making training for a period of time.”

"Only apprentices who pass my final assessment can be granted my permission to join."

Chi Yuan continued to rub against him in a sticky, affectionate way.

"If you like it, that's fine. I'll wait for you to support me."

"Okay, okay, I'll raise you, and make you plump and healthy."

Just as the two of them were surrounded by pink bubbles, Ou Wan's voice came from afar.

"Let's go! Hurry up!"

"Stop being affectionate, we need to destroy this dead star to prevent the dark spirits from making a comeback."

The two couples pushed each other away at the same time, and ran hand in hand towards the starship.

Shen Yulou peered out of the starship window, and Chi Yuan covered his hand with his, the two of them staring at the lifeless planet.

Without the cover of the dark spirits, this planet is now nothing but dark matter and flickering psionic shadows, seemingly poised to give birth to new dark life.

But not again. I won't give it that chance again.

The starship's heavy weapon systems slowly activated, their cannons flashing as they precisely targeted the lifeless planet.

High-energy rays and specially designed planet-destroying missiles completely destroyed the Death Star's structure, and the irregular sphere was swallowed by a massive black hole just as it was about to explode into fragments.

Now even the "corpse" is truly gone.

"Let's go home."

Shen Yulou hooked his hand around Chi Yuan's palm, his eyes narrowing into crescent moons, and he chuckled happily.

"Okay, let's go home."

Chi Yuan came up behind him, rested his chin on his head, and admired the dazzling starry sky together.

Even in the depths of the universe, starlight still twinkles.

Love will last forever.

...

When news of the complete annihilation of the Dark Matter Spirits reached back into space, all Starfarers and Zerg were in an uproar.

I heard that the Zerg queens were so happy that they laid more than ten times more offspring than usual.

According to the compulsory education curriculum, this battle is known in interstellar history as the "Final Chapter Battle," and this interstellar year is also known as the "Rebirth Commemoration."

The humiliation of being oppressed by the Dark Spirits for four thousand years has finally been washed away, and from now on there will be no more Dark Spirits in the universe!

Chi Yuan: Yay! The president gave me a lot of money! I'm going to fatten up my wife until she's all plump and healthy!
