What happened in the Imperial laboratory was unknown to outsiders. But both Si Mojue and Nan Jiang were overjoyed at Mo Xiaobai's successful surgery.

One reason was that they saved the woman they loved, and the other was the huge success of the experiment.

That way they can use the same method to raise plenty of "food" for themselves in the future.

He acted on his idea immediately, but Nanjiang did not have Si Mojue's family background, making it more difficult for him to illegally imprison interstellar citizens than for others.

But Si Mojue is different. He is the fourth prince of the empire. As long as he shows any interest, countless people will send him the person he wants.

The first people brought to Si Mojue were two men who had been beaten beyond recognition. If Xie Ming were there, he would definitely recognize these two as the Tian Shifang brothers.

The Tian brothers had mental energy suppressors on their heads, and their arms and legs were broken. When they were brought to Nanjiang, they were barely alive.

Nanjiang saw this but didn't mind. He quickly healed their injuries and nurtured their spiritual power.

Nanjiang didn't have the same patience for the two citizens abandoned by the empire. He fed them the reagents many times over, and continued to feed them the reagents as soon as they finished digesting them.

The Tian brothers had to endure the pain of their mental energy constantly surging every day, and eventually their heads became two or three times larger than normal.

Nanjiang didn't care about the two people's pain. Seeing the data getting closer and closer to his goal, he was overjoyed.

Xie Ming had no time to care about the Pandora's box unfolding in the Empire; he was now the Federation's number one national treasure.

After returning to the Federation from the competition, he submitted the improved cultivation method for mental power, attributing all the credit for his breakthrough to this.

The Federal First Military Academy received the cultivation method he gave them and immediately had someone test it. Unexpectedly, the person who was stuck at the bottleneck broke through after practicing for a short time.

In addition, Xie Ming's long-awaited space button was also successfully tested.

Coupled with the previous laser cannon cooling problem, it was enough to change the battle situation on the front line, and Xie Ming immediately became the darling of the First Military Academy.

The federal government did everything it could to provide him with convenience, hoping that he could produce more good stuff.

Even Uncle Jin and his wife received the best care on the main planet, but they didn't stop there and chose to work in the mecha repair department.

During this period, Xie Ming received the news of Xie Yuchen's death much later; the news was brought by Uncle Jin.

Having raised that child before, he knew that if the person stayed in the Empire, he would keep an eye on them. He just didn't expect that the person would be gone in only two or three years.

After discussing it, the two decided not to tell Aunt Jin about it, fearing she would overthink it and lose her hair. The matter of Xie Yuchen was thus completely closed to Uncle Jin and the others.

Xie Ming resumed his normal interstellar life.

Instead of becoming a demon queen, he devoted all his energy to scientific research. After working on it for so long, he discovered that the world's technology was not that backward; the biggest problem was the limitation of materials.

Mechs have almost reached their limit in terms of functionality and flexibility, and it's difficult to make a major breakthrough without the emergence of new materials.

If we could use a formation, that would be a different story, but there's no spiritual energy here!

Xie Ming had no choice but to diligently sharpen his knife again, while the Mo family on the other side became lively once more.

After absorbing the spiritual energy nurtured by Xie Yuchen, Mo Xiaobai immediately returned to a normal state.

My back doesn't ache anymore, my head doesn't hurt anymore, and I can "sleep" for several nights in one go.

She happily hugged and kissed Nanjiang and Si Mojue repeatedly, thanking them for their help. Of course, she also pretended to visit Xie Yuchen's grave and offer flowers.

Unfortunately, her good fortune didn't last long; she hadn't even enjoyed herself for a few days before her mental energy started acting up again.

That day, just as the live stream ended, Mo Xiaobai, as usual, proudly prepared a table full of delicious food and waved to the two men sitting on the sofa.

Suddenly, her alluring smile faltered. Nan Jiang and Si Mojue, oblivious to her odd behavior, continued to walk toward her with smiles.

"Xiao Bai, is this the spicy hot pot broth mentioned in ancient books?"

The pungent smell made both Nanjiang and Si Mojue feel a little uncomfortable.

"Yes! It's just as delicious as the legends say!"

Mo Xiaobai forced a smile, trying her best not to let the two men notice that something was wrong with her.

"Give it a try."

Although Si Mojue wasn't particularly interested in hot pot with its bubbling red oil, he still appreciated the food his beloved woman made.

Seeing his opponent begin to eat, Nanjiang quickly reached for the side dishes with his chopsticks as well.

Mo Xiaobai could no longer control the expression on her face and said to the two of them, "You guys eat first, I'll go tidy myself up."

She genuinely just wanted some peace and quiet this time, but she couldn't resist the two rival men who wanted to try out various positions with her.

Once everyone was gone, the two of them started cooking noisily, eager to be the first to burst into Mo Xiaobai's bedroom.

Meanwhile, Mo Xiaobai, who had been planning to walk back to her bedroom calmly and gracefully, felt increasingly unable to control her body, and her steps became hurried.

Finally back in the house, she locked the door behind her, rushed into the bathroom, turned on all the taps, and hugged her noisy head.

Mo Xiaobai felt as if another person had taken up residence inside her body, constantly squeezing her soul.

She felt as if her whole body had been split in two, and something else was being forcibly stuffed into the middle.

With the sound of water drowning out the noise in the bathroom, Mo Xiaobai could no longer hold back her painful groans, muttering incoherently, "Ah! Ah! Get out, get out of here!"

"Mo Xiaobai! You're Mo Xiaobai? Hahaha! I can't believe I'm alive again! Hahaha!"

Mo Xiaobai's soul was still tormented by pain when Xie Yuchen's voice echoed in her mind.

After a moment of stunned silence, she screamed in terror, "A ghost!"
