Chapter 140
"Adoptive father?"
Su Ci thought of the gentleman Xue Wei had mentioned. He didn't expect that the other party had such a high status in the Tes Empire.
"What does he want from Xuewei?" Su Ci asked.
"Marshal Li is on his way to Prison Star. He hopes to bring Number Nine..."
Thinking that the cubs' nameplates had been made and were ready to be sent to the nursery, Guo Hui paused and changed her words, "Take Xuewei back."
Su Ci was a little surprised when he heard this.
Did he hear that Prison Star was in danger, so he couldn't bear it and planned to take the child back? Given Xuewei's personality and qualities, it was hard to imagine that anyone would dislike her.
Thinking of this, Su Ci nodded, "Okay, I understand. Please wait a moment."
He hung up the call, then quickly went to the green space and found Xuewei playing with her friends.
Su Ci had no objection to her adoptive father taking Xuewei away. After all, Xuewei was different from Rong Heng and the others. There was no promise or deal between them.
Moreover, Xuewei is different from other cubs. She has a deep bond with the outside world, and this bond even affects her mind.
If she wanted to leave, Su Ci would not stop her.
Xue Wei was stunned when she heard Su Ci's words. She looked at Su Ci in disbelief and said blankly, "Su Su...are you serious? Did the gentleman really come to pick me up?"
"Yeah." Su Ci nodded.
"But why would he come to pick me up? He must hate me..." Xuewei's eyes were red, and she still couldn't believe it.
"Chirp!" The little tit also became excited.
Su Ci shrugged, "For details, you can ask him yourself."
After saying that, he took Xuewei and flashed back to the dormitory, leaving the cubs looking at each other in bewilderment.
"What did Susu mean by that? Someone's coming to pick up Xuewei?" The little wolf cub scratched his head. "Is Weiwei leaving the nursery?"
And who is the gentleman? Is he Xuewei's relative?
As soon as the little wolf cub finished speaking, Little Lihua glared at him like an angry little lion.
"Sister Weiwei, I won't go!" she said loudly.
Although she was yelling angrily, the little girl's eyes were already red and her voice was filled with tears. "Sister Weiwei won't leave, wuwa...brother..."
Finally, she couldn't hold it in anymore and turned to her brother and cried.
Rong Heng quickly hugged Xiao Lihua, glanced at Langze with some dissatisfaction, then lowered his head and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Xuewei may not leave. Let's wait for her to come back and ask her, okay?"
"good……"
Little Lihua pouted, barely stopped crying, and sobbed softly in her brother's arms.
Although they have not been together for a long time, Xiao Lihua has fallen deeply in love with Sister Xuewei. In her heart, they are almost the same as two nanny robots, so she cannot accept her departure at all.
Naturally, she couldn't help but feel hostile when she thought of the "gentleman" who wanted to take the young lady away.
On the other side, Su Ci brought Xue Wei back to the dormitory, and then sent a video call request to Guo Hui.
The video call was quickly answered. Guo Hui on the other side wanted to connect directly to the third-party communication, but when she caught a glimpse of the little girl next to Su Ci, she was stunned.
Although there has been no change in her appearance, Guo Hui remembers very clearly what the little girl Xuewei was like when she first arrived at the nursery.
Now she is full of energy, with her snow-white cheeks showing a healthy pink, and the most attractive thing is undoubtedly her eyes.
Her eyes were bright and sparkling with joy. Although the corners of her eyes were slightly red, she did not look depressed or numb at all. Instead, she looked like she was alive again.
Guo Hui didn't quite believe that he became like this just because he received news from his former adoptive father.
She recalled the rumors she'd heard from the maintenance workers—the cubs in the nursery had become incredibly well-behaved and obedient. Not only would they politely call out to people, but they'd also prepare tea for them while they worked...
These people even secretly took photos of the cubs - unfortunately, they can only view them on their own communicators, and it is said that they will be automatically blocked and deleted by the intelligent computer once they are sent out.
As someone who often handles various reimbursements for the nursery, Guo Hui has actually felt it very clearly recently.
It seemed like her workload had decreased significantly since breeder Su arrived. The only expense she had to deal with this month regarding the nursery was making nameplates for the cubs...
The only nanny robot in the nursery actually lasted this long without being scrapped.
Guo Hui looked at Su Ci with a complicated expression.
The breeder whom they least expected actually brought them the biggest surprise.
In short, no matter what, we have to keep him!
These thoughts flashed through Guo Hui's mind, and then she said, "Hello Xuewei, Marshal Li Sinian wants to see you. I'll help you connect the call, okay?"
After all, their adoption relationship has been terminated. If Xuewei doesn't want to see Marshal Li, Guo Hui can't force her.
Fortunately, Xuewei nodded and said, "Okay."
Then Guo Hui's figure disappeared from the screen, and was replaced by a couple sitting in front of the camera, waiting nervously.
Xuewei, who had already prepared herself mentally and wanted to confess to her adoptive father, could not hold back her tears and they rolled down her eyes when she saw the figure sitting next to the man.
"Husband, Madam..."
Xuewei stretched out her hand to touch it, but her fingers passed through the virtual light curtain. The woman on the light curtain also reacted in the same way as her.
Although she couldn't touch the other person, Xuewei still smiled silently with tears in her eyes.
Great, that's how it is...
It turns out that the Madam is fine now. No wonder the Master is willing to come and see her... So that's how it is...
"Vivi, my Vivi, mom is here, are you okay?" On the other side of the screen, Yan Ya leaned in front of the camera, completely squeezing Li Sinian out of the screen.
She looked at her adopted daughter who was far away on Prison Star, and when she thought of her current situation, she felt so heartbroken that she burst into tears.
"Dad and I are going to pick you up. You're in prison... Please wait for us at the brooding facility. We'll be able to meet in person in about half a month!"
Although Yan Ya needed rest, Li Sinian was ultimately unable to defeat her and had to take her with him to Prison Star.
Because Prison Star is under the jurisdiction of the Star Alliance, its composition is complex, and its organizational nature is relatively sensitive, so they need to report and apply to the Star Alliance first. This delayed them, and they were only able to contact the people from Prison Star at this moment.
As for the warship landing, the procedures are even more complicated and are still under review, but they have more than half a month, so it should be in time.
Anyway, let's get there first. If there is really no other way, they can just land in a small flying ship.
"Ma'am, please don't cry. I'm doing well in the nursery. You don't have to worry about me." Xue Wei wiped her tears and managed to calm down. "Are you okay?"
In Yan Ya's eyes, she looked like this, trying hard to hold back her tears and pretending to be strong, which made her feel even more heartbroken.
How could she possibly live well in the Prison Planet's environment? It was just to comfort her.
However, seeing her adopted daughter like this, Yan Ya didn't want to let her down, so she had to wipe away her tears and try to calm herself down.
"I'm fine now, you don't have to worry about me. That incident... was an accident, I don't blame you." Yan Ya looked at her seriously and said gently.
"Xuewei, Mommy doesn't blame you, do you hear me?"
Xiao Xuewei, who had been holding back her tears, burst into tears again. Hearing these words, she felt that the knot in her heart that she thought would never be untied had disappeared just like that.
"I'm sorry, Mom... I'm sorry..." She covered her eyes with her elbows and burst into tears.
Yan Ya was stunned at first, then she started crying and laughing.
She knew that Xuewei had a pair of parents who loved her very much, and she could not forget them even after they left, so she always refused to call her mother.
She didn't mind, and even felt more pity for the child. And now... she finally heard the word "Mom".
How she wished she was by Xuewei's side at this moment, how she wanted to hug her and tell her how lucky she was to have a daughter like her after losing her own flesh and blood.
"Baby, mommy really doesn't blame you. It's not your fault."
Yan Ya said firmly, "Don't worry, Mom will definitely find a way to solve your bloodline frenzy problem. We will live together happily in the future, okay?"
Xuewei, who originally wanted to reject Li Sinian and stay in the nursery, now couldn't bring herself to refuse.
She broke down crying and nodded and said okay.
At this time, Yan Ya wiped away her tears and said to Su Ci beside the girl: "Keeper Su, can you help me hold her?"
Su Ci did not refuse. He reached out and took Xuewei into his arms, gently touching the top of the girl's head.
"Don't cry, they will be here to pick you up soon."
"Um……"
Xiao Xuewei wanted to hold it back, but when she was about to speak, her mouth pursed involuntarily. She leaned in Su Ci's arms, staring at the screen.
She had a lot to say to her adoptive parents. She wanted to tell them that she seemed to have found their child, but when the words came to her lips, she hesitated.
Xuewei was scared. What if she guessed wrong?
If the lady heard her words, she would definitely be very happy and would rush here with great anticipation, but if she turned out to be wrong...
Thinking of this, Xuewei didn't dare to say anything more.
At this moment, the image on the other side of the light curtain suddenly became unstable.
Li Sinian's voice rang out: "Xiao Ya, we are about to enter the wormhole, and the communication is about to be cut off."
No matter how reluctant Yan Ya was, she could only nod.
She said to Xuewei, "Weiwei, we have to separate for a while now. You wait for mom, we will be reunited soon."
In the end, Xuewei didn't tell them about Rong Heng and Xiao Lihua. She thought it would be the same if she told them after they arrived.
"Okay, I'll wait for you here."
The light curtain dimmed and Xuewei's emotions gradually calmed down.
She turned around and looked at Su Ci with clear eyes: "Su Su, thank you for bringing me such good news, thank you so much!"
Su Ci could feel that the pent-up energy in Xuewei's body had finally dissipated completely.
He smiled and said, "I didn't do anything."
Xuewei also smiled, and her eyes were still full of gratitude as she looked at him.
"Let's go, the others are still waiting for you in the green space." Su Ci said.
Thinking of the upcoming separation, Xuewei's smile dimmed. She thought for a moment and said, "Susu, if... Xiangyang and Xiaolihua really aren't Madam and Sir's children, then were they adopted?"
Xuewei believed that the lady and the gentleman would definitely be willing to adopt the brother and sister.
As for the other kids...
Xuewei was reluctant to let them go, but she thought that her husband and his family probably had no way to adopt so many children at once, and Lielie and the others might not be willing to be adopted.
Hearing her question, Su Ci looked at her deeply, and finally said: "You may need to ask Xiang Yang and others for their opinions on this question first."
"Okay, I understand." Xuewei nodded obediently.
Su Ci looked at her. He was originally planning to send her away and then go to clear the water source, but now he was not too reassured.
Rong Heng is his future little helper who he is training with great emphasis. There is no way he will let him go like this, but... what if this little lion insists on leaving?
Of course, this troublesome problem will have to wait until it actually happens.
So, Su Ci took Xiao Xuewei and returned to the green land.
With Rong Heng's comfort, Xiao Lihua's mood has stabilized, and she is following A Yan to help pick the fruits of Yingcui beans.
Seeing Xuewei appear, Xiao Lihua immediately put down the basket in her hand and ran towards her.
"Sister Weiwei!"
The other cubs gathered around, asking who the "sir" was and if she was really leaving.
Su Ci left space for them and walked to the lounge chair in the corner and sat down.
"Susu, are you going out today?" A Yan came over and asked him.
Su Ci shook his head, "Wait a little longer."
“Chirp!”
The little tit flew over, landed on the armrest of the chair, and tilted its head to read Su's poem.
"Are you happy to leave here?" Su Ci asked, looking at the chubby little tit.
The little tit didn't call out, but just rubbed the back of his hand with its beak, feeling reluctant to leave.
Su Ci rubbed its little head with his fingertips, then looked at Xuewei who was surrounded by her companions. After thinking for a while, he called out to the base's intelligent computer in a low voice.
It is unlikely that Xiangyang and Xiaolihua want to leave, but if they are really the couple's lost children... Su Ci remembered Xuewei saying that they meet all the requirements except for their age.
He asked the base's intelligent computer to retrieve the information of Rong Heng and Xiao Lihua.
Lines of text suddenly appeared on the light screen.
Rong Heng and Xiao Lihua are from a small border country in the Star Alliance. They are not the children of criminals, but... they are children rescued from a human experiment crime that was uncovered by the country.
When they were rescued, Rong Heng was just over three years old, and Xiao Lihua was still a baby in swaddling clothes. It can be said that these scientific maniacs with no bottom line were truly insane.
Su Ci touched his chin and asked the intelligent brain: "Xiaozhi, what exactly is this human experiment research? Can you find out?"
"Please wait a moment."
About ten minutes later, the base's intelligent computer's voice rang out, "This is an experiment on freezing human technology."
Whether it is possible to freeze the human body and revive it at a set time has always been a hot topic among interstellar scientists. This technology has also been tested many times on animals, but human experiments are prohibited.
When Su Ci saw the name of this experimental project, he understood why the ages of the lion brothers and sisters did not match.
He asked the base's intelligent computer to search for information about Marshal Li. After seeing his ferocious beast bloodline and characteristics, Su Ci was basically able to confirm that Rong Heng and Xiao Lihua were indeed their lost children.
Obviously, the second bloodline power that Rong Heng awakened came from his father.
As for Xiao Lihua's mental control... Su Ci is more inclined to believe that she has awakened her special abilities like Yan Ping and the others. Of course, her powerful mental power may also be inherited from her father.
The situation of this brother and sister is so complicated that it is no wonder that their parents have never been able to find them.
Su Ci sighed. If that was the case, then it would be troublesome... But he changed his mind and quickly calmed down.
Let’s not talk about whether Xiangyang and Xiao Lihua recognize their parents. Even if they do, Xiangyang cannot leave for the time being due to his physical condition.
Since we can't leave, let's all stay and farm for him.
Su Ci curled his lips slightly, then he glanced at A Yan beside him, thought for a moment, and said, "Xiao Zhi, help me retrieve the information of number one."
In fact, he has always been very confused. A Yan was clearly a spirit born from this planet, so why was he taken in by the nursery and became a cub here?
However, the base's intelligent computer responded: "You do not have permission to retrieve it."
Su Ci frowned. He had already obtained the highest authority of Base 24, but he still couldn't retrieve A Yan's information?
What's going on?
Just as he was about to say something, the light screen in front of him suddenly flickered, and the mechanical sound of the base's intelligent computer began to become intermittent, mixed with a lot of electric current sounds.
"Zila...Zila...Trying to retrieve the information of cub number one...Zila...The file of cub number one is empty...Zila..."
Su Ci was stunned. The file of No. 1 is empty?
Why?
Su Ci vaguely felt that he was about to think of the answer, but it seemed that something was stopping him, preventing him from exploring.
That thing seemed familiar to him, like...
The power of rules?
etc!
In a flash, Su Ci suddenly realized something and restrained his divergent thoughts in time, but it was too late.
"Zila... There is no number one... There is no number one..." The intermittent voice of the base's intelligent computer sounded again. It spoke with great difficulty, but in the end, it still said that sentence.
"Cub number one does not exist in the brood."
When the voice of the base's intelligent computer finally fell, something that was struggling to hold on between heaven and earth suddenly shattered with a pop.
"boom--"
A platinum-colored light emerged from A Yan's body, submerging him in the light.
He slowly floated in the air, his eyes tightly closed under the stimulation of the light. His young body, which had not changed in nearly ten years, was growing rapidly.
The red fog that had retreated to a remote place on the Prison Star for many years due to the restrictions of the rules suddenly surged and swept towards all the human bases on the Prison Star with an unstoppable force.
In an unknown space, a masked figure sat cross-legged. At this moment, the man slowly opened a pair of red eyes.
At the same time, a voice full of madness sounded in the space.
“Hahahahahaha——”
"Spirit of Rules, I finally found you!"
