Protecting the stars was indeed the most important thing to him in the past.
But that was all in the past.
Qiao Mei is the most important person to him now.
If doing so would cause her sadness, distress, or even make her unable to accept it, then of course he wouldn't choose that path.
Qiao Mei really didn't want him to do that.
Her first thought was of Lai Tan.
If we're talking about gods, then Lai Tan is one too.
Furthermore, the mess caused by the interstellar monsters entering the Federation planet was also created by Leitan.
Why should Cangcang have to clean up his messes?
She looked at Ao Cang with her crimson eyes and asked him, "What if we let Lai Tan do the repairs? Isn't his recovery going very well right now?"
When they went to find Lai Tan last time, Ao Cang did sense that Lai Tan's divine power had recovered by more than half. It was even higher than his own current divine power.
After thinking for a moment, he said uncertainly, "If he goes, it might be useful, but it might not be, because his recovery energy is drawn from those holes that suddenly appear on the battlefield, and we don't know if there will be any side effects."
This means that in the end, they may still need to rely on Ao Cang's divine power.
Realizing this, Qiao Mei was very discouraged.
But they didn't intend to remain indifferent indefinitely.
It is said that with great power comes great responsibility.
Now that she possesses half of Ao Cang's divine power, she will definitely still have to play a role.
It's just a matter of the degree of its effect.
After thinking for a while, she took the initiative to contact Xu Wenfeng and told him that she had inherited half of the divine power from Ao Cang. She hoped that he could help her and Ao Cang to go to the Federation Star together and then go to the interstellar monster battlefield together.
"But let's not rush into that. Before that, Cangcang and I need to make an attempt. If the result is not good, then we'll consider going to the battlefield."
The Federal Army has set a time in two days for taking Xu Heyu and the others to the interstellar monster battlefield.
In the next two days, she and Ao Cang will test whether Lai Tan can help repair the holes on the battlefield.
Xu Wenfeng's first reaction after hearing what Qiao Mei said was shock, and his second reaction was rejection.
“No, I know Ao Cang’s current recovery status. Even if he gives you half of his divine power, how can you two possibly fight against so many mutated interstellar monsters?”
"Not to mention that you have basically never been on the battlefield and have almost no experience with it. What difference would it make if you went there and just sent yourself to your death?"
Xu Wenfeng's attitude was very firm. Qiao Mei wanted to persuade him, but she didn't know how to start.
Ao Cang grabbed her wrist and shook his head at her.
After hanging up the phone call with Xu Wenfeng, he told her that if they were really needed to go to the battlefield, even if Xu Wenfeng disagreed, he would find a way to take her there.
"As long as you want it, and as long as I can do it."
The young man's golden eyes were filled with sincerity, which softened Qiao Mei's heart. After suppressing her emotions, she shook her head and said, "Of course I know you can, but this is no small matter. If we really need to go there, I will try to persuade Grandpa. In short, we can't keep it from him and act first without informing him."
As for why she did this, even if Qiao Mei didn't say it, Ao Cang could guess.
It was simply because she genuinely considered Xu Wenfeng as her family, and out of respect and a desire not to cause him worry.
The matter is settled.
That evening, Qiao Mei and Ao Cang sneaked into the Eighth Palace again.
Unlike last time, this time Lai Tan wasn't in the artificial lake, but in the palace cooking for Qiao Yingying.
He has many tentacles: one for washing vegetables, one for adding seasonings, and one for stir-frying.
Qiao Mei keenly noticed that the pustules on his tentacles had completely disappeared, and he looked no different from before.
To be honest, the only difference was that his two tentacles, which Ao Cang had cut off, looked twice as big after they grew back.
He didn't use those two tentacles; he just dragged them on the ground.
Upon noticing two more presences in the room, Lai Tan glanced at them and narrowed his purple eyes.
"What are you doing here again? Why are you two like ghosts that won't leave us?"
Qiao Mei wanted to say that if they could, they wouldn't want their spirits to haunt them, but now that things were more important, she went straight to the point and asked Lai Tan how his divine power was recovering.
"And Qiao Yingying, her health doesn't seem to be improving."
When she and Ao Cang came in just now, they saw Qiao Yingying lying on the big bed through the window, her face very pale.
The last time I saw her, she looked quite well.
When I looked at her again, she looked like she hadn't eaten for days, and her brows were constantly furrowed.
Speaking of this, Lai Tan gets annoyed.
He turned off the stove, ladled out the stir-fried dishes, and said with a pursed lip, "What's very strange is that although the divine power in my body has recovered quite well, the divine power injected into Yingying's body has no therapeutic effect on her."
Ao Cang stared at Lai Tan for a while, his gaze falling on Lai Tan's clean octopus tentacles. He asked, "Your divine power increase is based on absorbing that strange power, right? If it's convenient, could you release some of your divine power for me to see?"
Both of them are gods, and their divine power should logically be composed of the same elements.
However, after Lai Tan released his divine power, Ao Cang discovered that his divine power was no longer pure.
To be honest, it's like pouring a lot of foul-smelling egg liquid into a glass of milk, completely tainting its divine power.
Even if it still quenches thirst, it can cause side effects if ingested.
Seeing that Lai Tan hadn't realized this yet, Ao Cang directly released a portion of his own divine power, allowing Lai Tan to carefully sense it.
Raitan once possessed pure divine power and knew what that felt like.
He immediately understood what Ao Cang meant when he realized that he could still feel healing from Ao Cang's divine power, but could only feel discomfort from his own divine power.
"Let me try to help Qiao Yingying. If it works, I can continue to help you, but you will need to pay a certain price."
Ao Cang didn't explicitly state what the price would be, but Lai Tan could roughly guess it.
He didn't say anything, took off the apron tied around his waist, and led Ao Cang and Qiao Mei into Qiao Yingying's bedroom.
Because Qiao Yingying is pregnant with a child of a god, she has become extremely sleepy and doesn't even react when several people enter the room.
Lai Tanlian helped her tidy up her messy hair and let Ao Cang begin.
Ao Cang gathered divine power in his right hand, channeled it into his right index finger, and then stopped at the position above Qiao Yingying's head to begin injecting it.
Before long, Qiao Yingying's furrowed brows gradually relaxed as the color returned to her face, and she even curved her lips into a smile, looking very pleased.
Its effectiveness is self-evident.
Lai Tan had expected this outcome. After Ao Cang stopped, he lowered his eyelids and asked in a low voice, "You want me to repair that cave entrance, right?"
