Lu Manman followed Qi Xiuyuan's gaze and caught sight of Ye Xingfan, who was dressed up meticulously. She sighed and facepalmed.
"He's much more innocent and adorable than you; he won't fool people."
They are just easily fooled.
Thinking of his goal, Lu Manman frowned, "But is there really anyone who looks exactly like me?"
Qi Xiuyuan nodded, "And like you, their fertility score is 100%, making them the only two people I know in the world with a perfect fertility score."
Lu Manman frowned. This was truly bizarre. Could she also possess supernatural abilities? Was she a parallel version of herself from another world, or perhaps the Zerg Queen in disguise...?
Lu Manman started coming up with another whimsical idea, Pleasant Goat.
He shook his head, banishing those wild ideas, and said, "Could you please keep an eye on her for me and see what kind of scheme she's plotting? If she doesn't have anything to hide, it wouldn't be a bad idea to let her take my place, and we could just take down the bounty."
Speaking of the bounty, Lu Manman squinted at Qi Xiuyuan and said, "You reported me, so you'll have to deal with this yourself."
Qi Xiuyuan: "...Okay."
Lu Manman then added a precaution, "Also, my secret is simply that I can grow some unusual fruits and vegetables. Don't even think about studying me. Now that we're cooperating, I'll try my best to meet your needs for fruits and vegetables."
Qi Xiuyuan: "Okay, I understand, Manman."
The word '漫漫' is pronounced softly and ambiguously, as if it were hooked and alluring.
Lu Manman couldn't help but get goosebumps. "Speak properly. I still prefer your previous cold and aloof self. Also, we're just partners in name only, so don't get any ideas about me, okay? Thank you!"
Lu Manman has no intention of getting married or having children right now, and hopes that the other party won't have any such thoughts, so as to avoid a bad ending later.
Qi Xiuyuan smiled helplessly, "Okay."
Rumble!
A deafening roar filled the air. Looking up, they saw two starships, one military and one belonging to the Ye family.
"They're here, let's go outside."
Qi Xiuyuan led Lu Manman outside.
Ye Xingfan also heard the voice above and quickly put away the full-length mirror. Looking at the two people walking towards her from afar, she felt that something was different.
I wanted to ask Jian Guo what they were doing, but in front of Qi Xiuyuan, I had to suppress my doubts for the time being.
The group entered the badly damaged mechs and flew toward the starship.
Between the Ye family's starship and the military starship, Ye Xingfan said, "Senior, wait for me on the military ship first. I'll take the mecha back to repair it and come right away."
Qi Xiuyuan: "Okay, go ahead."
After receiving a positive reply, Ye Xingfan left without delay.
Qi Xiuyuan then led Lu Manman back to the warship, where his adjutant, Bai, greeted them. "Marshal, the Zerg Queen has been eliminated by us. Are you all alright?"
Qi Xiuyuan, who had been keeping an eye on the front-line videos, already knew about this and nodded, "It's alright, you did a great job. The warship can wait here for a while; a 3S student is coming over later."
He then sent Ye Xingfan's photo to his adjutant, saying, "Once you see him, set off and bring him directly to my office."
The adjutant saluted, "Roger that!" But who was that short, punk-style guy next to him?
Under the adjutant's questioning gaze, Qi Xiuyuan led Lu Manman back to his office. As soon as he closed the door, Qi Xiuyuan shed his marshal's coldness and softened.
"Do you want me to repair your mech? I have a lot of valuable mech materials and skilled mech masters here."
Lu Manman was somewhat tempted. She had heard that repairing mechs was very expensive, but... "How long would it take to repair?"
"It will take about a month."
Oh, it's been so long? What if this hot commodity gets ambushed by the Zerg Queen again?
Seeing Lu Manman's hesitation, Qi Xiuyuan took out a rose gold necklace from his spatial storage. "This is the 3S mecha I used before—Wanjin. If you don't mind, you can take it and use it. I'll give it to you."
Lu Manman's gaze shifted from the necklace back to Qi Xiuyuan's face. "This is too expensive! This is unacceptable."
Qi Xiuyuan shook his head, "It's not even a fraction of the magical fruit that Manman gave me."
Moreover, according to interstellar law, women can control all of their partner's assets, so this is really not valuable at all.
"That's true." Thinking that she would be giving him a lot of fruit in the future, Lu Manman immediately accepted it without hesitation and placed her mecha necklace in Qi Xiuyuan's hand. "In that case, thank you."
Qi Xiuyuan smiled slightly and carefully put away Lu Manman's necklace. "It's nothing. I'll add you on my personal computer and contact you when it's fixed."
Considering that they were practically on the same side, Lu Manman didn't refuse.
Shortly after, there was a knock on the door. Checking the security camera footage, it was Lieutenant Bai and Ye Xingfan.
Qi Xiuyuan pressed a button on his desk, and the door opened automatically.
After delivering the person, Lieutenant Bai left.
Ye Xingfan greeted him politely, "Hello, senior!"
Qi Xiuyuan nodded and was about to say something when he was interrupted by the notification sound from the personal terminal. Qi Xiuyuan looked down and saw that the meeting could begin.
Qi Xiuyuan: "I need to take care of some things now. You guys rest here for a bit."
The 1,500 tons of fruit we have need to send to the soldiers on the front lines as soon as possible. Before that, we need to hold a meeting to decide the share for each region.
However… after glancing at Ye Xingfan, who looked like a peacock, Qi Xiuyuan frowned, thought for a moment, and then called his comrade over.
My comrade-in-arms, a veteran of many battles, possesses the same chilling aura as his master when serious. "Master!"
Qi Xiuyuan nodded, "Their mechs are all damaged. I'm afraid the Zerg might have ulterior motives. You stay here and help me protect these two."
"Yes!" Upon receiving the order, the comrade stared intently at the two men, as if not even a fly could get close to them, let alone a Zerg.
Qi Xiuyuan left the house satisfied with what he saw.
Lu Manman and Ye Xingfan, who were being closely watched: ...
Could the Zerg really break through layers of protection to get into the army commander's office and harm them? Why don't they believe it?
Lu Manman coughed and said, "Hey comrade! This place is impregnable, no Zerg will come, so could you please stop staring at me like that? It's creepy."
Ye Xingfan added, "That's right, and I also brought a spare mecha, so I can handle any problems myself."
Lu Manman nodded, "Yes, I have one too."
Comrade: "No! This is the master's order."
Because of their unique nature as combat robots, they are more loyal and obedient than any other type of robot.
The two tried to explain again, but no matter what they did, they couldn't change their comrade's mind, and they could only helplessly let it stare at them.
I eventually got used to it.
Ye Xingfan leaned closer to Lu Manman and asked, "Didn't you only have one mecha? Where did you get a spare one?"
Lu Manman: "It was a gift from someone else."
"Oh, he's really good to you. 3S mechs are very hard to come by."
Lu Manman tidied her bangs, skillfully covering one eye, and said nonchalantly, "Really?"
Is that alright? It was obtained by trading fruit and a handle.
Seeing Lu Manman's messy finds, Ye Xingfan suddenly remembered something and quickly asked:
"By the way, do you think my outfit is alright? Give me your opinion and see if there's anything I can improve."
Lu Manman looked him up and down. To be honest, he was quite handsome. It was just that she was used to his previous appearance, so it was a little unusual.
"No, it's great." Lu Manman said, giving him a thumbs up.
Ye Xingfan chuckled, hoping that Yunku would also be satisfied with his meticulous preparations.
Seeing his silly look, Lu Manman was a little worried, after all, she didn't know what that strange woman was up to.
"That Yunku, what exactly do you like about her?"
