Chapter 487 Dust to Dust
In the year 8057 of the Star Calendar, Xiaoxue was already 8 years old.
Cheng Feng and Wen You got married. They held their wedding on a first-level star and invited many people to the banquet.
Qu Tong also got to see many acquaintances at the banquet.
Cheng Feng had ordered roses from Qu Tong a long time ago, but not from Rangalos and Cruella, but from Elsa, whom Wen You liked.
Cheng Feng's manor is quite large, and the entire place, inside and out, is filled with romantic and beautiful pink roses, each one a freshly picked real flower.
For Qu Tong now, these flowers don't even require one-tenth of her special abilities.
In interstellar weddings, there is no rule that the bride and groom cannot meet before the wedding. Before the ceremony, Cheng Feng led the dressed-up Wen You to the side door to greet important guests, his face beaming with joy.
Some close friends give gifts directly to the bride and groom. These gifts are usually not expensive, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan.
After all, it's for the sake of celebration, not to make a living by receiving gifts.
Lin Yumo, who came with Qu Tong, presented Wen You with a set of purple jade jewelry worth over 100 million yuan and personally handed it to her.
Everyone else was mesmerized by the jewelry, but Cheng Feng remained wary. However, out of courtesy, he pulled Wen You behind him and said with a forced smile, "Please come in."
After Lin Yumo left, Cheng Feng touched the top of his head and couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Is this person crazy?"
Qu Tong handed Cheng Feng a packaged bottle of premium medicine and sighed, "Wen You saved his life twice, so it's understandable that he wants a high-quality gift."
Cheng Feng was persuaded and continued to greet the guests with a beaming smile.
As the guest who presented the most valuable gift, Lin Yumo was treated well, both out of courtesy and courtesy. Since she was also a friend of Qu Tong, she was seated at a table with Qu Tong.
Cheng Feng even asked Qu Tong to help keep an eye on Lin Yumo to prevent him from stealing the bride.
However, Lin Yumo did nothing but quietly watch the ceremony, his eyes slightly moist. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was one of the woman's unrequited lovers.
Only Qu Tong knew that when Lin Yumo looked at Wen You, she was thinking of someone else.
That unwavering gaze wasn't from unrequited love, but rather from a desire to see through Wen You to her true nature, wondering if she might be his Sheng Sheng.
After kissing Lin Yumo, Cheng Feng deliberately glared at her provocatively.
However, Lin Yumo didn't seem to care at all; her gaze was deep and unfathomable, as if she were in her own world.
When Cheng Feng went out to offer toasts, Qu Tong went to the room to keep Wen You company.
Wen You didn't invite any other bridesmaids; it was just the two of them in the room.
Wen You was also puzzled by Lin Yumo's actions today, so she said a few words to Qu Tong and mentioned that Lin Yumo had contacted her before, wanting her to change her online name.
"Did you change it?" Qu Tong asked.
"I changed it. I don't know why, but Lin Yumo's attitude was quite sincere. Anyway, it was just a username I randomly picked back then. At that time, Chengfeng was acting strangely and kept pestering me to use a couple's username, so I changed it."
Because Lin Yumo knew that it wasn't his Shengsheng.
Qu Tong couldn't explain the reason, so she didn't continue the topic. She took out another bottle of potion from her spatial button and handed it to Wen You, saying, "Congratulations on your marriage, and may you have a baby soon."
Wen You looked at the potion in her hand and exclaimed in surprise, "This is an SS-grade physique enhancement potion that's been wildly popular on Star E12, worth 75 million! Did you, my darling Tongtong, concoct this?!"
"Hmm." Qu Tong tilted her head and smiled brightly.
Wen You pinched her thigh to make sure she wasn't dreaming, then slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "I have to have it! I must have it! In order not to waste Tongtong's 75 million, I have to have it too!"
"Tongtong, remember to call her Xiaoxue, Xiaojin, and Xiaoyi. Don't date too early, hmm~ you know what I mean." Wen You winked at Qu Tong.
"That's hard to say, good luck."

The year 8058 in the astrological calendar may be an auspicious year.
After 11 years, Lin Yumo finally found a way to go home.
The rare phenomenon that occurs once every 10 years in the Dawn Galaxy also happened to occur in this year, so Lin Yumo doesn't have to wait another 10 years.
The magnificent phenomena of the Dawn Galaxy are like a dream, and that blue planet is dazzling.
The pressure on his hand increased, revealing the owner's unease.
Qu Tong gave Si Yuting a reassuring look and led him forward.
Qu Tong took out the ancient ring. "Lin Yumo, are you really sure about this?"
Over the years, Lin Yumo had asked her to do many tests, and both she and Lin Yumo were well aware that this was a high-stakes gamble.
Perhaps the other end isn't a portal to another time and space, but rather a turbulent flow of time and space.
"I have to go back to find Sheng Sheng." Lin Yumo took the ring, her eyes unusually firm, as if she had some kind of obsession that she had to fulfill in this lifetime.
Yes, his Sheng Sheng is still alive and well in another world.
Even if he stays here, there will be no Sheng Sheng for him.
He possesses trillions of dollars, but none of it is what he wants. Like her before, he remains alone.
"Going back now, please let Sheng Sheng know I'm safe."
No one has the right to interfere with other people's decisions, so let's wish him and Sheng Sheng a happy ending.
The energy imbalance caused a fierce wind, and the once tranquil image in the sky became fragmented. The endless night sky behind them looked like a giant beast that wanted to devour everything.
Si Yuting wrapped Qu Tong in his arms and took her to a place where the energy impact was less.
Five minutes later, the energy fluctuations subsided, the fragmented images disappeared, and the soul that did not belong here was taken away with it.
"Let's go home, Ali."
Qu Tong glanced back at the empty space where the image of Blue Star had disappeared, and then squeezed Si Yuting's large hand in return.
"Okay, let's go home."
Home is where your heart is set on something.
*
They weren't in a hurry to go back, so they bought two tickets for a spaceship trip and traveled around, having fun as they went.
After closing the door, Qu Tong led Si Yuting into the space and began tidying up the things inside.
Before Lin Yumo left, he gave me all of his businesses, including the energy plant cultivation formula from the former Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
Qu Tong singled out books on this subject from a pile of documents and contracts, including more comprehensive textbooks and teaching materials on planting that the school had not fully disclosed.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yi and Xiao Jin did not inherit her wood-type ability.
She didn't know that she was gone, or how long the energy plants on her planet could last.
It remains to be seen whether gene banks and the agricultural industry will see new breakthroughs in the next one or two hundred years.
Although this is something that is far in the future, it is always good to prepare for the worst in advance.
"Where did this come from?" Si Yuting, who was helping to organize Qu Tong's spatial buttons, asked, holding up an object.
Qu Tong glanced at it and said, "It was brought by Rong Chengjue when he traded the Void Crystal. He didn't want it, but I thought it was quite pretty, so I kept it."
After saying that, she noticed Si Yuting's brows furrow slightly. She took the bracelet from his hand and examined it. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this bracelet?"
Si Yuting pursed his lips, opened his personal computer, and found a display page for cultural relics.
The gold bracelet with gold thread edging and kingfisher feather inlay in the picture on the left is not only similar to the one in her hand, but completely identical. The reference price below almost made Qu Tong lose her mind.
"This is a royal treasure of Casablanca. It was a token of love made by the first emperor for his queen at great expense, but it was lost during a period of turmoil."
Si Yuting slowly explained, holding Qu Tong's fingers that were pinching the inner ring, and with a gentle press, the bracelet changed into another style, equally exquisite, but more elegant and luxurious, more suitable for middle-aged and elderly women to wear.
I never expected that a bracelet would contain such a sophisticated and thoughtful little mechanism.
How did Rong Chengjue manage to use such a valuable antique to store an empty crystal, and then just throw it away like that?
"I'll return it to him next time I go to the Casa Empire."
Seeing that Qu Tong completely failed to understand Rong Chengjue's thoughts, Si Yuting didn't want to risk trouble by reminding her.
He secretly clenched his back teeth, not expecting Rong Chengjue to have his eye on his Ali so early, and he regretted asking for less compensation earlier.
Qu Tong, unaware of Si Yuting's thoughts, carefully wrapped the bracelet in a box.
Now that I know the value of the bracelet, I can't just throw it away carelessly like before.
Actually, because of the Void Crystal Mine, she had been going to the Casa Empire every year for the past few years, but she had never seen Rong Chengjue. However, she had traveled with Rong Yueqing a few times.
However, before Qu Tong could go to the Casa Empire to inspect the mines, Rong Chengjue came to the Canaan Palace at the end of the year.
Qu Tong searched for a long time to find Rong Chengjue's contacts and arranged to meet him at Zuixinghe.
I'm at Ningxue Park in the south of the city, come over.
Qu Tong thought about it for a moment and agreed, so she took her things and went out.
Ningxue Park is where she built her snowman, not far from Yuelan Bay.
When Qu Tong saw Rong Chengjue again after nine years, she felt that his temperament was more repressed. His golden hair was as smooth and dazzling as ever, but his eyes were as unfathomable as the endless night.
Qu Tong greeted him, and he only looked at her for a moment before giving a faint "hmm".
Qu Tong didn't mind. There was nothing to reminisce about, so she simply got straight to the point, took out the box, opened it, and handed it over.
"Here, take this bracelet back. It doesn't feel right for me to keep it."
Rong Chengjue was stunned for a moment, then took it with one hand.
"I heard this bracelet is an antique, worth hundreds of millions. Don't throw it away." Seeing Rong Chengjue's nonchalant attitude, Qu Tong was afraid he would just throw it away.
"Oh." Rong Chengjue replied casually, tossing it into the spatial button without even glancing at it.
Qu Tong: "..."
Qu Tong wanted to remind him to at least put the lid on, but then she thought better of it. It was someone else's stuff; he could throw it however he wanted, as long as he didn't throw it in the sink in front of her so she could see it.
"Your mental state seems to be in bad shape. Do you need my help?" Qu Tong hesitated for a moment before asking.
She could feel the spiritual energy emanating from the air as soon as she arrived, and the temperature dropped several degrees when she got close to Rong Chengjue, probably because of his special ability.
If she wasn't mistaken, Rong Chengjue's mental state had already shattered.
Considering how much he had done for her, she was willing to help him one more time.
But Rong Chengjue refused.
"No need to trouble yourself."
Although Qu Tong was somewhat surprised, she couldn't force the other party to undergo treatment if they were unwilling.
After chatting for a couple more minutes, Qu Tong said goodbye and went home.
Rong Chengjue spoke very little, his gaze fixed on the center of the lake, and he didn't even turn his head when he spoke.
Only after Qu Tong left did Rong Chengjue turn his head to look at the empty bluestone path.
He took out the bracelet from the spatial button and held it tightly in his hand.
After looking at it for a long time, he gave a sad laugh.
She's always like this, kind yet indifferent.
He has always believed in destroying what he cannot have, and countless times he has tried to destroy things.
But he didn't want to.
Because of her, he did nothing.
He didn't even dare to see her, afraid that he wouldn't be able to control the dark thoughts in his heart.
These days are unbearable and hopeless.
Blood-red liquid dripped onto my hand, and more and more of it kept appearing.
The gold bracelet fell to the ground with its owner, making a crisp sound, and bounced far away.
"His Majesty!"
"elder brother!"
The bracelet in his field of vision blurred and became stained with blood; he could no longer hear the sounds of approaching figures in the distance.
Living wasn't particularly joyful.
*
Not long after, news came from the Casa Empire that Rong Chengjue had died.
Having exhausted too much of his mental energy, Rong Chengjue died at the age of 33 in the midst of a snowy winter.
After the change of emperors in Casa, Rong Chengjue's former subordinates supported Rong Yueqing's ascension to the throne as empress.
When Xiaoxue was 11 years old, she awakened her second superpower, the wood element.
