Qiao You accepted the box of snacks and then hinted to her brother to give her a few more bottles, "Bion can drink some too, it'll help him stay healthy!"

"If you run out, just ask your brother for more," Xiaoyu added.

Xinle left in less than half an hour; the work at the pet store was too busy for her to leave.

"Brother, my spiritual spring water... seems to be able to replenish itself?" Qiao You was very uncertain; this was too strange.

When I filled Xinle with the spiritual spring water earlier, there was already much less, but now there is even more, and a lot of it has spilled onto the ground.

Qiao You was completely shocked. What... what's going on?

Helian Jue, with a clear mind, asked, "Baby, when was the last time you checked how much spiritual spring water there was?"

"On the spaceship to Yunlai Star." Qiao You was quite certain that once they arrived at Yunlai Star, they wouldn't need the spiritual spring at all, so he hadn't even looked at it.

Helian Jue began to recall the events that had occurred during the period from the day they left the capital planet, and there was nothing particularly special about it.

Qiao You thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a reason, or even a single related guess...

"It's a good thing we're not thinking about it anymore," Qiao You said optimistically, waving her hand at Helian Jue. "Brother, could you ask Luns to send the robot over sooner?"

The little fish was shaking Helian Jue's hand, and the fish tail that had appeared early on was also swaying.

Nowadays, except when it's absolutely necessary, Qiao You is always dressed as a mermaid because his legs are just too uncomfortable!

The tip of its tail was poking and prodding at Helian Jue, its main goal being to carry out the "offense" to the end.

Helian Jue glanced at Qiao You, who pretended not to understand and continued to act recklessly, taking advantage of his long tail.

The tip of its tail sometimes sweeps, sometimes pokes.

"Baby." Helian Jue's voice was low and carried a hint of danger.

Qiao You was still shaking his head and didn't care at all, until Helian Jue grabbed the tip of his tail.

Hiss—this feeling seems a bit ominous.

Qiao You's memory, which wasn't usually very good, suddenly sharpened again, as if it had been before...

The memory of that time suddenly flashed into my mind, but I thought, "Never mind."

Those who understand the times are wise!

Qiao You smiled ingratiatingly at Helian Jue, stroking Helian Jue's hands with both of them, while trying to pry his brother's hand off his tail.

"Brother, let's talk this out."

"Little Fish is wrong!"

Helian Jue curled his fingers and scratched the tip of the tail. "Little fish, you can keep poking it. I like it very much."

Qiao You thought to himself: Of course you like it! Isn't this your favorite thing to do? But I don't like it... Hmm! Well, not completely dislike it, I like it a little! But it's too tiring...

Helian Jue let go of her hand; Xiaoyu looked as if she wanted to eat the fish.

Little Fish hasn't been feeling well these past few days, so he hasn't acted like a beast.

Seeing that her brother didn't seem interested, Qiao You felt relieved for the time being and stopped poking him. She flicked her tail to the side to create some space.

It's best to maintain a safe distance! Nothing will happen!

Five or six days later, Qiao You had almost forgotten about the fun robot.

Before going to bed, Helian Jue suddenly said, "Lens will be coming tomorrow."

Qiao You was brushing her teeth in front of the mirror with one hand while her other hand was busy playing with bubbles.

Upon hearing Helian Jue's words, he spat out the foam in his mouth and immediately asked, "Are there robots?"

"Um."

Qiao You's tail was wagging so vigorously as it sat on the washstand, making a loud slapping sound that even Helian Jue felt pain.

"Brother, when is Luns coming tomorrow?" Qiao You was overjoyed.

Helian Jue was somewhat dissatisfied that Xiaoyu was always thinking about someone else, but as soon as he saw Xiaoyu's eyes, his unhappiness disappeared. However, he silently made a grudge against Luns in his heart!

Lance, who was just about to spend the night holed up in the lab, sneezed loudly.

"The blanket is too thin?" Lens muttered to himself, then turned around and grabbed another blanket. He was the pillar of the company during this time, and he absolutely couldn't afford to collapse.

The thought of the new weapon being researched made Lens grin from ear to ear. If this research succeeded, let alone a single insect planet teeming with mutants, even ten insect planets would be no problem.

Lens was filled with excitement and confidence. He had been up for five or six long nights and could finally get some rest.
