Is there a gift you'd like to receive?
Pushing forward, with her little face cold and her eyes wide open, Yan Liu, the golden-eyed baby, strode up and stood beside Si Mu Bei, her imposing manner echoing Si Mu Bei: "Everyone, come and see your lovely granddaughter. How can you leave empty-handed and not give a single penny?"
“It’s okay if they don’t give me a penny.” Si Mubei said, using a retreat as a strategy: “At worst, my lovely grandson and granddaughter will stop calling them grandpa and grandma.”
"Anyway, with my adorable grandson and granddaughter, even without their grandparents, I'm still living a life of luxury and wealth!"
"Who said we're stingy?" The members of the Red Eyebrow Fleet were all smitten when they saw Jiang Yihe and Jiang Yinuo. Their eyes gleamed with predatory intent. They had abandoned their precious daughter Jiang Si and surrounded Si Mubei and Yan Liu, each of them transforming into a wolf in sheep's clothing, touching and kissing them: "Oh my goodness, my grandson, my granddaughter, you've grown so much!"
"Look at those big, dark, golden eyes, those rosy little lips, that chubby little face, those little arms—I just love them to death! Come here, give me a kiss..."
“Get away, get away, you rough men, you haven’t shaved or brushed your teeth, aren’t you afraid of suffocating my granddaughter and grandson? I’ll come, I’ll kiss, I’ll touch.”
"Get out! Get out!" Si Mubei's 2.8-meter-tall aura was no joke. Holding Jiang Yinuo, who had a miniature Agareth face, he roared at everyone, "You didn't even give us a greeting gift, yet you want to hug, kiss, and touch? I think you're all dreaming!"
"Hurry up, hurry up! Anyone who wants to hug, touch, or kiss our grandson or granddaughter, line up and give us a gift. If you don't have a gift, we'll refuse!"
"I have a gift for you!" Bai Shaoqing looked at the two cuddly little ones, his heart almost melting. He quickly rummaged through his spatial storage and pulled out a gift: "What do you little ones like? Pretty handmade dolls, pretty handmade hats, or do you prefer diamonds? Would a red envelope be okay?"
Upon seeing Bai Shaoqing, Si Mubei wished he could take out all the good things from his spatial storage. Holding Jiang Yinuo, he said without ceremony, "Little darling, come on, choose for yourself."
Bai Shaoqing quickly presented the gifts to Jiang Yinuo. Jiang Yinuo's chubby little face looked like a little angel, and she smiled brightly. She reached out her little hand, took a handmade doll, and tossed a handmade hat to Jiang Yihe.
Bai Shaoqing's delicate face was full of smiles. He had just put down his other things when Jiang Yinuo, holding a small toy, stretched out her little arms to Bai Shaoqing: "Xiangxiang, hug me..."
Bai Shaoqing's pheromones smell like milk. Even if he tries to cover it up, he still smells like milk. Children's noses are more sensitive than adults'. When they smell milk, they think it smells nice and want to be hugged.
Bai Shaoqing was flattered: "I...I...may I hug you?"
"Of course!" Si Mubei put the dark-eyed boy Jiang Yinuo into his arms, stretched out his long legs like a bandit, and waved his hands to the others: "Line up, line up, come on, bring out your good stuff and gifts quickly, hurry up."
The other space pirates in Red Eyebrows Fleet had no choice but to defer to the whims of this effeminate, effeminate Si Mubei, for the sake of their soft, chubby grandson and granddaughter.
They lined up, they took out gifts, and if the gifts were not good enough, Si Mubei wouldn't accept them. He only wanted what was valuable and what could be exchanged for money.
The Red Eyebrows Fleet, consisting of nearly 30 space pirates, each with their own identity and immense wealth, was generous with gifts, yet they were still looked down upon.
If they don't like it, they'll just change the gift or the greeting gift. After all, there are so many of them, and they only have two little ones.
With fewer treasures around, of course, we'll stuff the best things into our little ones' arms.
Jiang Si watched them give gifts, but to her surprise, after they finished, the trees that had transformed into humans and their companion spirits all started to take out gifts.
Their gifts were incredible; they were all plant crystal cores, commonly known as star diamond rough stones. Each one seemed to have its own space inside, and each one was the size of an egg or a fist.
Even the Red-Eyebrowed Fleet members and other seasoned veterans were as wide-eyed as saucers when they saw the gifts the companion spirits and trees pulled out. They looked like ignorant country bumpkins, exclaiming, "My goodness, my goodness, good heavens!"
They assumed these trees and their companion creatures were penniless and destitute, possessing nothing but good looks, good figures, and being Jiang Si's family.
Unexpectedly, these companion spirits and their trees are all hidden tycoons, all big shots with money. They have star diamond rough stones the size of eggs, the size of fists, and even the smallest ones are the size of pigeon eggs. If these things are polished and taken to the market in the Abel Galaxy, they will be auctioned off.
Indeed, appearances can be deceiving, and the sea cannot be measured by a bushel. How could their eldest daughter be a weakling or a pauper? They are all rich and powerful, unlike them, who have been robbing and struggling for decades and are still penniless.
There were over 2,000 companion spirits and trees. After giving out all the greeting gifts, more than an hour had passed. Jiang Yihe and Jiang Yinuo made a fortune while being kissed and hugged.
Of course, the most direct approach was to have money. His greeting gift was a bank transfer, which was incredibly generous – 8.88 million star coins for each child.
After receiving the gifts, the boy continued walking into the palace. The palace was very large and covered a vast area. Not only did each member of the Red Eyebrow Fleet have a separate house in the palace, but even the companion spirits that slept in their own trees had their own houses in the palace.
They lived in the front palace of the palace, guarding Jiang Si in the rear. If there was any danger, they were the first line of defense for Jiang Si. Unless they died, no one could cross the threshold to find Jiang Si!
Jiang Si's house was the largest house in the entire palace. In the courtyard, there was a tallest pavilion. Standing on the pavilion, one could overlook the entire city.
In the very center of the courtyard, there was a lush green ginkgo tree. The ginkgo tree was about as thick as a washbasin, and it was very, very tall, taller than the attic, taller than the ginkgo tree outside that several people could not encircle, and taller than the ginkgo tree that had not yet transformed into a human.
The three members of the roc family made their home in this tree. Their nest was large and well-made, with no drafts or leaks.
After a noisy feast, everyone lit a bonfire in the palace garden at night. Whole lambs, meat skewers, and vegetable skewers were roasting on the fire, and baskets of various fruits, both familiar and unfamiliar, were placed around them. They ate until their bellies were bulging.
Whether it's a tree that transforms into a human or its companion spirits, they have no taboos about food. They eat when there's food, and when there's no food, they absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
The Red Eyebrows Fleet members truly felt that this was the life of a human being: they had food and drink, daughters, grandsons, and granddaughters—it was much better than being space pirates.
They wouldn't trade such a good life for any amount of money. From now on, they'll settle down on Earth and stop using all those messy pseudonyms. Right now, their only pseudonyms are Jiang Si's parents and the two children's grandparents.
The moon was bright, and its light shone on the ground like layers of silver frost. The sky was bright, with countless stars twinkling.
Jiang Si stood atop the highest pavilion, her clothes fluttering and her long hair dancing in the wind. "The sky more than 3,000 years ago, the stars that can no longer be seen in the developed city."
Agares stood beside her: "Environmental pollution?"
Jiang Si looked up at the starry sky and said, "Yes, more than 3,000 years ago, the land was polluted by heavy industry and the ocean contained nuclear wastewater."
"Humans do not treat the Earth as their home or their mother. Excessive mining of various minerals and indiscriminate logging have led to severe desertification and pollution."
"The blue planet has become scarred and overburdened. Temperatures are rising, crops are failing in many places, and many people are starving."
Agares grasped her hand: "Hearing you say that reminds me of a saying that humans once said: 'For a planet, humans are the greatest parasites, the greatest threat!'"
Jiang Si withdrew her gaze and glanced at him sideways: "You're right. Whether it's Earth or other planets, humans are the biggest high-IQ parasites. They recklessly cut down trees and over-exploit resources, driving their own homes to the brink of destruction step by step, and they still think they're pretty and powerful!"
Back then, Shu Xubai released the zombie virus for her sake, causing chaos on Earth and leaving humanity with only one goal: to survive and avoid being infected by the zombie virus.
Sometimes she thought, wasn't Shu Xubai doing this to save the Earth, to punish humanity, and to give the Earth a chance to breathe for over 3,000 years?
Although his actions came at a huge cost to humanity, it is undeniable that after more than 3,000 years, the Earth's crust has changed, the ocean area has expanded, deserts have turned into green land, and the climate has undergone tremendous changes, but the Earth has come back to life.
From space, Earth appears as a blue star, not like images from over 3,000 years ago, with bald patches here and there, looking like a desolate, frail old man.
Agares looked back at Jiang Si: "Human desires are endless. Whether it is people more than 3,000 years ago or more than 3,000 years later, as long as there is a chance to live well, they will hold on tightly, even if it means being shattered to pieces, they are unwilling to let go."
Jiang Si sighed softly, "That's true. Truth is within the range of cannons. A planet, a country, if it doesn't want others to covet it, always has to erect high walls and bear the brunt of gunfire."
"There will always be waste from building artillery, and there will always be trees to be cleared and mountains to be leveled when building high walls. It is a contradiction, a contradiction that cannot be resolved."
Agares tightened his grip: "Any problem can be solved, and a win-win solution can be found for any problem."
"The Earth is a new Earth now, a brand new Earth, and I will work with you to rebuild it."
Jiang Si smiled and said, "Okay, let's find the best way together to rebuild her without harming her, and make her the most brilliant star in the galaxy!"
Agares pulled Jiang Si into his arms, gazing at the moonlight and listening to the chirping of insects. In the quiet night, he felt the fragrance of his homeland and the night breeze.
With numerous companion spirits and trees that have transformed into humans, as well as the thirty-odd people in the Red Eyebrow Fleet, the Deep Sea Queen, the High Priest, the orc Hu Xian, Jiang Si, and Agares, there was absolutely no need to take care of the children.
One little rascal with a bright smile, the other with a serious little face, are absolutely beloved pets, whether in the Troia Empire or on Earth.
They carried the children wherever they went, feeding them all the best food and drinks. Even at night, if Yanliu hadn't overpowered everyone, the two children would have been snatched away.
"Qingqing, you love children so much, let's try our best and have one too!" Yu Feifei said to Bai Shaoqing, who kept turning back every three steps and pausing every two steps, in a sticky voice, "Let's give birth on Earth, and raise the baby on Earth. We won't go back to the Abel Galaxy."
Qingqing adores these two kids. From lunchtime until the evening campfire, he took excellent care of them, never taking his eyes off them or his hands off them.
Bai Shaoqing's handsome face, which didn't match his age, seemed to be bathed in starlight: "Jingyu, have you decided not to return to the Abel Galaxy and completely give up your right to inherit the throne of the Fourth Civilization?"
Yu Feifei held his hand and kissed it: "I never had any interest in the right to inherit the throne of the Fourth Civilization. You don't still think that I ran away from home back then to make my father submit?"
Bai Shaoqing paused for a moment: "I have thought about that!"
“That’s a wrong way of thinking.” Yu Feifei chuckled. “Back then, when I went to find the Great Witch Jiufeng, he wasn’t home. I accidentally let his hatched mate run away. I chose to run away from home so that I wouldn’t be beaten to death by the Great Witch.”
"As it turns out, I was right to do so. If I hadn't left, the high priest really would have killed me to appease his runaway partner."
Bai Shaoqing spoke up for Jiufeng: "The Great Witch is not such an unreasonable person. You have misunderstood him!"
Yu Feifei grumbled, "I didn't misunderstand him. In the elliptical galaxy, he almost killed me. If it weren't for you, I might be dead by now."
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about him anymore, let's hurry back to the house and make a baby doll!"
After saying that, Yu Feifei picked up Bai Shaoqing and carried him away, just like a female bandit carrying an innocent young man into her den.
Bai Shaoqing exclaimed in surprise, grabbing her clothes tightly and urging her to run slower.
Yu Feifei didn't listen to him at all. She ran as fast as if she were being chased by a dog, as if she was afraid that if she was even a little slow, the little one wouldn't be able to make it.
Yanliu washed and dressed the two children, then put them on the bed. The two little ones had played all day and it was getting late, so they fell asleep in no time.
After the two little ones fell asleep, Yanliu went to wash up. After she finished washing and putting on her pajamas, she suddenly discovered that the little green dragon egg was gone.
Yan Liu's pupils dilated in shock. She quickly searched the house, but couldn't find it. She hurriedly threw Ling Xi onto the bed, covered the two cubs on the bed with branches, strengthened her mental power, and went out to find the little green dragon egg.
Unable to sense the little green dragon egg with her spiritual power, and not knowing where it had been lost, she went to look for it in the places she had been before.
Yanliu never imagined that in the dead of night, while others were either home washing up and sleeping, or already in bed, she would be under the lamplight, her spiritual energy still shining brightly, bending over as if searching for treasure, searching bit by bit.
After searching for ten minutes from where she lived, there wasn't even a single thread, let alone an egg.
Just as Yanliu was squatting on the ground, wondering whether she should ask her master to help her find the egg, suddenly, a pair of black boots with gold dragon patterns appeared in front of her.
Yanliu looked up and saw Cangying lift his robes, squatting in front of her, his golden eyes looking at her: "What are you looking for?"
"I'm not looking for anything..." Yanliu's words were cut short as her pupils constricted and she saw the little green dragon egg she had lost hovering above Cangying's head, wiggling its bottom at her!
