Chapter 93 Clear Milk
Han'e Star is a harsh, perpetually frozen planet. It's currently in the coldest season of the year, the "Great Cold Season," resulting in very short daylight hours and a mostly dark atmosphere. Mu Jiao understands that Han'e Star's Great Cold Season has only just begun, and it will take at least three months, and up to six months, for it to pass.
It was only five in the afternoon, but the sky outside was already completely dark. During the Great Cold Season, the temperature outside the protective cover would drop even lower. Ice and snow-based beasts would enter their breeding season during the Great Cold Season, becoming active and irritable...
In short, the Han'e Star outside the protective shield of the Great Cold Season is extremely dangerous. It is easy to get lost and attacked by strange beasts if you go out, and end up with no body left. So unless you have enough strength, you must never go out easily.
Over the past few days, she'd gotten a pretty good feel for her current surroundings, but the more she understood, the more difficult it seemed to escape. First, leaving the massive Orc leader's residence was incredibly difficult. While she could move freely within, she was under surveillance whenever she left her room. She still hadn't figured out the route. And even if she could escape, how would she get out of the protective barrier? And once out, how would she leave the planet? The planet's environment was harsh, and it was the height of winter. Even if she managed to escape now, she'd be nothing more than a meal for the beasts.
It seems that it is not possible to escape by herself at the moment, but she cannot give up. She should wait slowly for the plan. Maybe she can find the opportunity!
Mu Jiao sighed. Environment truly forced one to grow. She didn't know when she'd be able to return to Brother Qi, nor did she know how he was doing now. She'd been abducted so suddenly, and he'd probably be very worried! She now had a rough idea of what the Swamp Region was like. It was a star region that didn't belong to the Empire or the Federation, dark and chaotic. Now that she'd been abducted here, she was afraid Brother Qi wouldn't be able to find her either...
"Master, the clear milk is ready. Come and drink some." Aping's clear voice interrupted Mu Jiao's thoughts as she lay on the bed in the bedroom looking up at the sky.
I have to say that Aping is a very qualified housekeeper. Although he is only twenty years old, he is able to manage Mu Jiao's life in an orderly manner.
Clear milk is a drink for interstellar minors. It's nutritious and tastes similar to milk from past lives, yet it's purer, richer, and sweeter. Before reaching adulthood, both the Federation and the Empire distribute clear milk free of charge to minors in fixed quantities to provide energy, a government benefit for minors.
Mu Jiao has been drinking clear milk since she was a child, but she never gets tired of it. She loves the rich and sweet taste of this clear milk and never gets tired of drinking it.
"I'm coming!" Mu Jiao sniffed her little nose, put on her shoes, and walked out holding Mengmeng. She could already smell the unique fragrance of clear milk.
Meng Mengzai eats everything, but he just doesn't like to drink clear milk, and seems to be disgusted with it. The little guy jumped out of Mu Jiao's arms and ran to the side to play alone.
Mu Jiao gave Ah Ping the clear milk as usual, half each. After a few days of trying to refuse, Ah Ping finally accepted Mu Jiao's offer and sat aside, carefully drinking the clear milk from his cup.
Seeing that Aping finally didn't refuse her today, Mu Jiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face.
Clear milk was a commonplace commodity in the Empire and the Federation, but in the Swamplands, it fetched a hefty price. Clear milk was a precious commodity to Ah Ping. He remembered how, as a child in his first master's home, clear milk was a delicacy enjoyed only by the youngest members of the household. Sipping the clear milk, the sweet taste filling his mouth, Ah Ping's heart softened. His master would share half of his food with him, concerned that he would be cold or hungry. Following his master, he realized that food wasn't cold or dry, but warm and fragrant. The noble clear milk had such a sweet and rich flavor...
When this seemingly small master looked at him, his eyes were full of concern. He used to resent the injustice of fate, but now, as long as he looked at his master's eyes full of concern, A Ping felt that the resentment and anger in his heart were swept away. As long as he could always be with his master, all the tortures in the past would be nothing. Perhaps God made him go through hardships just so that he could meet his master.
