In the early morning, He Mo woke up from practicing star energy. After a night of practice, his body was filled with surging energy. Soon, after a while, he would be able to enter the third level of the Star Art.
When he opened his eyes, He Mo saw the little fellow who was supposed to be lying at the innermost part of the bed, lying lazily at his feet, staring at him without blinking with his innocent eyes, his delicate little tail wagging slightly, looking very well-behaved.
He Mo picked up the little guy and teased him, "When did you wake up, little guy? You must be hungry. Come and have an eggshell."
The little guy was indeed hungry. He Mo put the eggshell to its mouth and it started to eat it voraciously. After a while, it stopped eating with its belly bulging. After it was full, it began to feel drowsy.
Looking at the time, he knew he would have to go to work soon. He Mo put the little guy in his wide pocket. His white coat was very loose, so even if the little guy grew three or four times bigger, it would not be noticeable at all. He put the little golden lion in the left pocket and the eggshell in the right pocket, so that the little guy could eat it at any time if he was hungry.
As soon as I walked out of the dormitory, I saw Qiu Jing. She didn't look very well today, a little pale, and looked listless.
He Mo was the first to greet and went up to her: "Qiu Jing, what's wrong with you? You don't look well. Did you not get enough rest last night?" Qiu Jing has been busy treating those strange beasts these days, from morning to night, without complaining or feeling tired. No wonder she was able to pass the selection of the Fifth Legion. Although she looks delicate and weak, she is actually very resilient.
Qiu Jing lowered her head and said weakly, "I seem to be really sick. I feel my forehead is a little hot."
"Then you go back to the dormitory and rest. I'll go talk to Captain Wang and ask for leave for you." He Mo said.
"No." Qiu Jing shook her head. "So many exotic beasts need to be treated with care lotion and checked every day. If I rest, you will be under too much pressure."
"Then take the medicine first. If you really can't hold on, don't force yourself." He Mo knew that he couldn't persuade her anymore, so he stopped persuading her. He accompanied her downstairs and watched her sit down before getting her some fever-reducing medicine.
Qiu Jing looked at He Mo's back with a faint gaze, with an inexplicable emotion in her eyes.
In the dark secret room, two figures sat silently. The faint yellow light stretched their shadows long. Looking closely, it seemed that their shadows were as winding as snakes and as strange as ghosts.
After a long silence, one of them asked, "Are you ready?" It was a woman's voice. Unlike her usual gentle tone, her tone today was particularly stern.
After a while, the other person nodded and replied, "We're ready. No matter how hard Zhong Qing searches, he won't be able to find anything about us. However, Chief, He Mo is the last of the clan..."
"That's enough." The cold female voice was filled with anger, and the woman narrowed her eyes: "I'm too tolerant, so it has come to this." If she had killed He Mo without hesitation at the beginning, there would not be the current turmoil. Now that things have become like this, she cannot explain to the Black Python Clan. In order to prevent the situation from escalating further, she must get rid of He Mo.
The other person sighed silently and raised his head. It was Qin Chong. The identity of the woman sitting next to him was self-evident. She was the current patriarch of the Golden Lion Clan, He Feng.
Qin Chong hesitated for a long time before continuing in a low voice, "It's not necessarily He Mo who told the story. Zhong Qing is only suspicious so far."
"Hmph." He Feng snorted coldly, "Who else could he complain to? Zhong Qing had been investigating for so long and hadn't found any clues. After he took He Mo away, he turned his attention to our Golden Lion clan. If He Mo hadn't complained, I really don't understand why Zhong Qing suddenly did this."
"But after all, only He Mo is..." Qin Chong said softly, and the last few words were drowned in his throat.
"You go and prepare, and make sure to get things done." He Feng's face was grim. He Mo could not be kept. For the prosperity of the family, some people had to be eliminated. Even if He Mo was the last bloodline of that lineage, he would have the same ending.
Qin Chong left the secret room without saying anything more. Since he had decided to get rid of He Mo, he had to do it as soon as possible to avoid any problems. Otherwise, one of the spies planted in the Fifth Legion would inevitably be killed.
He Mo took the medicine and brought a bowl of warm water. Qiu Jing took it. Generally, antipyretics contain some sleeping pills. She didn't get enough rest to begin with, and under the effect of the medicine, her upper and lower eyelids started to fight with each other soon.
"Xiao Mo, please ask Captain Wang for leave for me. I will sleep for an hour. I will come to help you after I have slept for a while." Qiu Jing pulled He Mo and reminded him while resisting the sleepiness.
"Don't worry, I will ask Captain Wang to add him. You can sleep well." He Mo took a blanket and covered her with it to prevent her from falling asleep and catching a cold before he went to work.
These past few days, we have been dealing with the alien beasts that were rescued before. Since the medical team needs to test the effectiveness of the new care solution and the recovery of the alien beasts, they have to check the condition of the alien beasts every once in a while, so today is particularly busy. He Mo, Qiu Jing and a few less experienced people are responsible for applying care solution to the alien beasts, recording the area applied, the amount applied and various data.
The morning passed in a busy manner. Although Qiu Jing asked for only one hour's rest, how could one hour's sleep be enough when she had a fever? He Mo told Captain Wang about her situation. Captain Wang generously gave her half a day off. Only with a good rest can one recover quickly. Captain Wang saw how hard Qiu Jing had worked in the past few days. Now that she was sick, how could she not have a good rest? Although it would be a little busier without her, they could still handle it.
"Xiao Mo, you've worked hard these days. Please take care of Qiu Jing. I'll give you a break in a few days." Captain Wang was a little tired after being busy for so long. He stretched his body. His muscles ached all over due to long hours of work. He pressed a button and a robot came out from behind. Its originally short arms became very long and it easily reached Captain Wang's shoulders and began to massage with moderate force.
"Okay, I'll take care of Qiu Jing." He Mo said hello and went out. He didn't know if Qiu Jing was awake or not, so he went to the cafeteria to get her a meal first to save her the trouble of running.
When He Mo returned to the office with the packed food, the place where Qiu Jing had slept was empty.
"Where is she?" He Mo frowned, put the food on the table, and prepared to contact her using his light brain, wondering if Qiu Jing had returned to the dormitory.
No one answered the call on the computer. He Mo was about to go to the dormitory to find her. As soon as he turned around, he saw Qiu Jing walking towards him from outside. The tired look on her face had disappeared and she looked a little better. He Mo felt relieved. It seemed that she had recovered a lot after a morning's rest.
"Xiao Mo." Qiu Jing was holding a lunch box and smiling, but her smile was a little unnatural, as if it was different from usual. "Thank you for asking for leave for me. I just went to the dormitory to make lunch. Let's eat together."
"Okay." He Mo nodded happily, thinking that Qiu Jing seemed a little weird because she was sick. He happened to not have eaten yet, so the table was filled with dishes from the cafeteria and those cooked by Qiu Jing herself.
"Xiao Mo, how about you try what I cooked?" Qiu Jing picked up a large portion of stir-fried vegetables for He Mo with her first chopsticks. She knew that He Mo usually ate mostly vegetarian food, so the dishes she cooked today were also more vegetarian.
He Mo looked at the dishes made by Qiu Jing. They all looked very good. The vegetables were stir-fried until they were green and lightly coated with oil. The special fragrance was very unique. This vegetable seemed to be a dish he had never eaten before. He Mo took a bite out of curiosity. It tasted good. Qiu Jing often said that her cooking skills were not very good, so He Mo thought she was not good at cooking. Unexpectedly, the dishes she cooked were surprisingly delicious.
This stir-fried vegetable dish not only tasted outstanding, but also made one's stomach feel slightly warm after eating it. Paired with the iced fruit juice prepared by Qiu Jing, the combination of cold and hot was particularly satisfying. Before he knew it, half of the dish was gone. Qiu Jing, perhaps because he saw that he particularly liked it, only ate a few chopsticks. He mostly ate the dishes packed from the cafeteria and did not drink the iced drinks. He seemed to be very hungry and ate white rice in big mouthfuls.
"Qiu Jing, your vegetables taste amazing with this drink. Don't eat the cafeteria food, try this." He Mo ate more and felt a little embarrassed, so he pushed the vegetable plate in front of Qiu Jing and said.
"No need. Eat more if you like. I made this to thank you." Qiu Jing smiled and picked up the bowl. "I'm probably sick today, so I'm really hungry now. I just want to eat white rice. I'll have a drink after I'm full."
"Then you should eat more. If the rice is not enough, I will go to the cafeteria to get you some more." He Mo glanced at the white rice that Qiu Jing had eaten most of. Usually, Qiu Jing didn't eat much and was always clamoring to lose weight. But today, because she was sick, she had a good appetite and ate most of the three servings of white rice.
When the two of them were halfway through their meal, Qiu Jing suddenly said, "Xiao Mo, if I did something to let you down, please don't blame me. I had no choice."
What does that mean? A bad premonition flashed through He Mo's mind. Before he could come to his senses, his vision went dark and he lost consciousness the next moment. Before he fell into coma, he only heard a guilty "I'm sorry".
In the boundless starry sky, a small white light rushed from afar. It rushed for a long time before it stopped, revealing something wrapped in it. It was something similar to a life capsule. The white light seemed to have exhausted its energy and no longer rushed forward. Instead, it fell straight down, broke through the atmosphere, and fell on an unfamiliar planet.
On the Central Star, Zhong Qing frowned. Tonight's arrangements were almost flawless, but he always felt that something was missing. Were these people captured tonight really the driving force behind the organization? With a gloomy face, Zhong Qing called Adjutant Cheng.
"Adjutant Cheng, let's go over the contents of our previous plan and check if there are any omissions. I always feel that these people from the Golden Lion Family don't seem like the final driving force. Although they are powerful, it's questionable that they can do these things so perfectly that even second-rate families can't detect them."
"General, do you suspect that what we captured tonight were just pawns?" Adjutant Cheng lowered his voice.
"Everything is still my guess. You should re-investigate the backgrounds of these people, their relationships, and their circle of friends. I..." Before Zhong Qing finished speaking, the private light computer issued a shrill alarm sound. Zhong Qing's handsome and cold face suddenly changed. Something happened to Xiao Mo!
Quickly opening his computer, Zhong Qing could clearly see that the dot of light representing He Mo had already flown far beyond the Central Star. Any further away, and it would be impossible to pinpoint Xiao Mo's location. Zhong Qing's heart tightened, and a cold, murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Sure enough, his suspicions were correct; even the Fifth Legion had spies from this force.
He had previously embedded a positioning system in He Mo's identity card. As long as He Mo's location exceeded a certain distance from the Fifth Legion, a shrill alarm would be issued. He had already lost him once, resulting in a separation that lasted for several years. This time, for He Mo's safety, he secretly embedded the positioning system without telling He Mo. Now it seems that his decision was indeed correct.
"Adjutant Zhong, you must return to the Fifth Legion immediately and take charge of the Fifth Legion with Cangshan. I will deal with the matter of the Central Star when I come back." Without any more nonsense, Zhong Qing grabbed his coat and rushed outside at an extremely fast speed.
Before Adjutant Cheng had the time to ask where his general was going, he saw the general disappear from his sight like the wind. Could something big have happened? Adjutant Cheng did not delay any longer, dealt with the remaining matters and hurried back to the Fifth Legion. Before the general came back, he wanted to represent the general and defend the Fifth Legion together with Lord Cangshan.
Sitting in the cockpit of the small spaceship, Zhong Qing looked calm as he rushed to the place where He Mo disappeared as quickly as possible. Xiao Mo, wait for me.
