summoning spirits —-1Mo Qiang looked at the A+++ crop in front of her and felt her heart soar, she had done research when she was working hard in the fields. Even though she was going along with the little nature fairy's rhythm she was half worried about how much money she will be able to earn through selling just some corn which was why she searched the price of A++ corn and to her surprise she found out that the price of a catty of corn ears of A++ grade was more than three hundred thousand gold coins!



Only then did she realise that a nature summoner like her was priceless in this world! When she found out what a treasure she was she couldn't help but kiss Little Jiao, even to this day the little squirrel made sure to wash her entire face with soap and water which both shocked and entertained her father who now opened a channel on mecha tube and uploaded the antics of Little Jiao.

Back then she thought that as long as she sold some corn ears she will be able to clear off the debts and the compensation that she had to pay to the imperial family and the pub owners but now that she was holding the high quality A+++ corn, she was sure that she will also be able to pay half of what her predecessor owed to Shao Hui.

Though she was still far away from collecting three hundred million golden coins, she was getting somewhere at least!

" Hahahaha," seeing the prized treasure that she was holding in her hands, Mo Qiang could not help but laugh. What she did not know was that her laughter sounded like that of an evil witch who was on her way to eat children thus, when Mo Xifeng heard her sister laugh so crazily she could not help but take a quick step back and said, " What are you laughing at, sister?"

Mo Qiang turned to look at her cute little sister and grinned so wide that Mo Xifeng couldn't see her eyes.

" Little Xifeng we are going to get rich! Ahaha!" Mo Qiang was truly happy, at least with this crop of corn and maple honey she will be able to curry favour with the woman whom she had been looking forward to meeting ever since last night! With these two babies, she will not be roasted alive!

In your face, you little brat!

Mo Xifeng did not understand what her sister was talking about but that was until Mo Qiang handed her the corn ear that she was holding, Mo Xifeng was a mecha morph whose core depended on the nutrients and mana of the food that she ate, thus as soon as she grasped hold of the corn ear, she could feel the excessive mana that was brimming inside the corn ear.

Instantly her eyes widened as she looked at the corn ear that seemed to be at least a triple plus crop!

" Thi...This...." Mo Xifeng tried to find some words to put what she was feeling at the moment but she could not her hands were trembling as she continued to hold the corn ear and then looked back and forth at her sister and the corn ear. This thing was really grown by her sister? Doesn't this mean that her sister was an imperial treasure? No wait, if her sister's skills were found out then surely her sister will be targeted! But how did she grow a triple-plus grade crop?

Should she be happy that her sister was this capable or should she be scared for her sister's safety?

Mo Xifeng was so startled by what she saw that her head was buzzing with numerous questions making her eyes roll in the back of her sockets.

This same question was in Mo Qiang's mind as well and she immediately asked Little Jiao for an explanation.

"It's because you pushed yourself too much," Little Jiao could not help but glance at Mo Qiang with a complicated look in her eyes, she thought that Mo Qiang would not be able to withstand the boost and will faint midway but this woman's persistence was really scary, not only did she faint halfway but she even used the entire boost when many couldn't!

When Little Jiao saw that Mo Qiang continued to instil her spiritual energy in the crops with her green fingers even though when she was bleeding through her nostrils, she was worried that this host of hers was going to die of a heart explosion which was why she continued to stop and warn Mo Qiang.

Though Mo Qiang was rough around the edges, she was the one whom Little Jiao liked the most among all the hosts whom she selected earlier. She did not want Mo Qiang to die and only the heavens knew how scared she was when she saw Mo Qiang faint after she used up all her boost while bleeding from her seven orifices!

" This is a level one crop, it did not need much spiritual boost in the first place and was already growing up well, even if you only used your green fingers for a few seconds, you would have gotten an A++ crop but because you gave it extra nourishment, the crop mutated and jumped another grade," Little Jiao's explanation was slightly confusing but Mo Qiang caught the gist of the matter.

She hurriedly walked inside the field while telling Mo Xifeng to hurry up and pick up the corn ears and put them in the boxes that the two of them brought last night before putting them into the flying truck but even after saying so much she did not receive a response from Mo Xifeng which made her frown.

" Little Xifeng what is going—— Xifeng?" Mo Qiang turned to look at her sister who was down on the floor and her eyes widened in shock, she rushed back to Mo Xifeng and immediately placed her ear on the latter's chest, the last thing she wanted was Mo Xifeng to die of shock! Was a grade A+++ crop that rare that this sister of hers fainted?

---------------------

summoning spirits ——2" Of course, it is super rare even getting a grade A++ crop is considered by the people of this world as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Little Jiao who could see Mo Qiang like an open book answered while flying down and then coming to a stop in front of Mo Xifeng, she stretched out her little paw and then placed it on Mo Xifeng's forehead. " There is nothing to worry about she just got a small shock and her little head could not keep up with it."



" I am not worried about that," Mo Qiang lifted her head from Mo Xifeng's chest and looked at Little Jiao who was flying next to Mo Xifeng's head, with her eyes exceptionally wide, she pointed at the empty metal boxes that she ordered using the rest of the savings that her predecessor had and said, " She did not pluck those corn ears, what am I supposed to do now? You know I am a fragile little lady."

Little Jiao felt her lips twitch when she heard Mo Qiang call herself a fragile little lady, this fragile lady was the one who beat Big Girl Li with an evil smile on her face until the latter called for her father and even her grandfather to save her.

But she did not say anything to Mo Qiang about these little thoughts that she was having in her head instead she pointed to Mo Xifeng's favourability points that went up with a drastic leap after the latter saw the A+++ corn ear and said, " Just like I promised, you can use these favourability points that you have earned to summon two spirits to help you out. Maybe if you are lucky you will be able to summon some good spirits."

" And what if I don't?" Mo Qiang asked as she looked at the blue screen that had popped in front of her, this time instead of showing the favourability points of Mo Xifeng, it was showing her one of those spin the wheel thing with the amount of favourability points that she needed to use a spin.

When Mo Qiang saw that the first spin was going to cost her more than seventy favourability points she felt her lips twitch. What was this? This was seriously looking more and more like one of those games where the shopkeepers attached strings to useless things while keeping the shiny and valuable things in the front to attract customers.

Even though most people knew that they were going to pull a dud they still went to play that stupid game and Mo Qiang was feeling the same.

She turned to look at Little Jiao when she saw that the little fairy did not answer her and repeated her question again, " I asked what if I pull a dud?"

" Then it will be a dud," replied Little Jiao while flying away and looking anywhere but at Mo Qiang who understood that this little thing was scheming from the start, Little Jiao must be hoping that she will pull two duds that way she will be able to push Mo Qiang into working hard even more.

" You are really..." Mo Qiang wanted to say that the little fairy was very good at scheming others but she paused when the screen started to flicker. Seeing this she turned to look at Little Jiao who was glaring at her with narrowed eyes and then said, " Are you going to spin or not? If you are not going to spin then forget it!"

It was not that she wanted the spin to pull a dud but this thing was not in her hands! Only Mother Nature can have the power to do so! Which was why she was really affronted when she saw Mo Qiang looking at her as if she was calling her out for scheming against her.

" I want to I want to!" Mo Qiang did not waste another second as she pressed the spin button all the while ignoring the humph that little Jiao directed her way.

As soon as she pressed the spin button the blue screen morphed into a portal-like circle which glowed a brilliant green while making a gentle sound like the crashing of waves against the rocks, the only difference was that the waves seemed to be of a tsunami and the rock seemed to be a big cliff.

Mo Qiang's eyelids twitched as she listened to the harsh noise and turned to look at Little Jiao who for once looked embarrassed and said, " I will ask the pixies to work on it, the lot of them like loud noise which is why it is like this."

Even Little Jiao had a lot of complaints about the pixies who were working on this system-like thing that they learned about while roaming around the world. She still could not understand why those pixies had to modernise everything. It was so good when the summoning was done with sacrifices!

At least it was not as noisy as this!

The portal churned and hissed for a long time and it was after a long time that the centre of the portal turned brighter and then two small things jumped out of the portal.

One of them was a white chinchilla that had a small grey spot on his face, his black eyes exceptionally cute while the next one was a miniature sheep that had curled horns on the side of her head.

The two spirits shook their heads as they turned to look at Mo Qiang who smacked her face as she turned to look at Little Jiao before saying, " Now what? I pulled two duds what am I supposed to do now?"

She even wasted that hard-earned favourability points!

As soon as Mo Qiang called the two spirits duds, both of them showed a shocked faces as if they understood what she was saying before shaking their furry heads.

" We are not duds!" The white chinchilla spoke as he looked at Mo Qiang with tears in his eyes while the little sheep on his side also nodded fervently!

Mo Qiang looked at the little cuties and then rubbed her forehead. No, they were indeed duds, how can these two things that were not even bigger than her palm be useful while lifting the heavy boxes and picking the corn ears that grew up so tall?

Not uselessMo Qiang was not willing to be the villain but how in the world a chinchilla and sheep that was as small as a puppy help her carry a hundred catties of corn ears? And there was also the matter of Maple honey even if she did not want to drill a hole in every single tree and extract the honey, she still wanted to fill a few bottles which she needed to curry favour with that woman!



These two cuties...it was simply impossible for them to do such hard work! Even if they somehow managed to do it, Mo Qiang was aware of the laws of this world, at this moment except for the monsters that could be hunted in the dungeons that opened because of the crack of the dimensions, other animals were under severe protection laws!

If she was to let these two pick up corn ears and drill holes in the maple trees she was afraid that she will be sent to jail the second anyone saw her!

She could almost imagine her mugshots which will be taken if she was captured and brought to the prison.

" You are thinking too much," Little Jiao was speechless when she saw the almost sobbing look on the face of her host and did not know what to say to her.

" Am I?" Mo Qiang tapped the screen of her monitor watch and then searched for the animals protecting their rights before showing them all to Little Jiao. She pointed to article three hundred and fifty-six and said, " Look at this, it clearly says that if I use a normal animal other than the monsters that were caught in the dungeons, I will be dragged straight to the prison!"

Little Jiao pushed the floating screen and then said with a little exasperation, " But these two are not animals they are spirits that you have summoned." As Little Jiao spoke, she turned to look at the two spirits that were sitting on the ground with their eyes brimming with tears.

" Show your manuals to her," Little Jiao told the two spirits, she still felt that this way of handling things was too annoying, in the past all they needed was to tie a small scroll around the necks of the spirits that were summoned and let the hosts take care of them.

But now under the severe lack of trees —— tsk, these humans, they not only made things difficult for them, they even caused a lot of trouble for the spirits and fairies in the other realm!

The first one to go was the chinchilla, it snapped its small fingers and then a large piece of stone popped out from the ground in front of them. Mo Qiang looked at the dirty and muddy stone which had something carved on it with her mouth twitching but she still crouched down and then picked it up from the ground with a lot of struggle and then wiped it with her hands before she started reading.

[ Chichi is an adorable chinchilla, please make sure to feed him a lot of raisins and blueberries. Avoid nuts and seeds! Chichi is the spirit of the land and is one of the most helpful friends of those who are on their path to revive nature, use your summoning strength to summon his true form and watch him do wonders!]

True form? Mo Qiang looked down at the adorable rodent and then asked, " This is not your true form?"

To her surprise, the chinchilla shook his head.

Once Chichi was done with his introduction the next to step forward was the little sheep who shook her fluffy white fur as hard as she could, soon a small roll of cloth fell from her white coat and Mo Qiang picked it up ignoring the strands of white wool strands that were sticking to the roll of fabric.

She unravelled the roll of fabric and started reading the manual of the little sheep carefully, making sure that she did not miss anything.

[ Ya Ya, is your squishy little sheep. She is both adorable and useful when farming, little Ya Ya can use her powers to give life to twigs and leaves making puppets so strong that can lift thousands of tons depending on the usage and need! Please use your summoning strength to summon the true form of Ya Ya before asking her to create puppets for you.

Make sure not to mistake her for your usual livestock!]

Mo Qiang looked at the two spirits before turning to look at Little Jiao who was flying beside her head and asked, " What does it mean that I need to summon my core strength to summon their true forms?" She did not learn something like this yet! It was totally out of the syllabus for her!

" Why are you panicking like that?" Little Jiao scratched her ear with a paw, ignoring the small explosion of the poisonous gas next to them and then continued speaking, " Think of it as the thing that you called a generator which you used in your past life, except this mana generator is inside your body."

She pointed to Mo Qiang's chest and then started to briefly explain to Mo Qiang how to share her summoning strength with the two spirits.

As Mo Qiang listened to Little Jiao's explanation, she seemed to have understood what she needed to do instead of trying to concentrate on the entire core, she just needed to extract the necessary amount of energy from her core and then let it flow out of her fingers in a manner that it will be absorbed by the two spirits.

Mo Qiang did as Little Jiao taught her, she shared the spiritual energy from the core that Little Jiao gave her when she woke up in this world.

A strand of green energy escaped past her delicate fingertips and was absorbed by the two spirits that were sitting in front of them.

At first, nothing happened but a second later —— a brilliant white light glowed around the cliff, it was so vibrant that Mo Qiang had to cover her eyes to stop herself from going blind!

-----------------------

Not useless ——2A cloud of dirt and smoke covered the two spirits, Mo Qiang who had her eyes squinted had a hard time focusing on the two spirits that she had summoned just now, it was after a long time, that she was able to see the two spirits that were standing in front of her.



The chinchilla that was squatting on the ground was gone and in his place was standing a young boy with a slender body that resembled a young boy of ten to twelve years, two ears that were similar to that of a chinchilla were twitching on top of his grey hair. He was wearing a small white crop top with a blue collar and matching blue pants with delicate feet and a tail that had two bells attached to the long tail that was fluffy and white.

Next to him was a young girl who looked like she was five years old, her hair was pure white and her violet eyes flickered uneasily. She was wearing a pink and violet poncho with a pink skirt and white stockings, her white hair tied in two plaits. Her small tail was twitching behind her while her brown horns shone even under the dim lighting.

"Wow, you are..." The two spirits were standing in front of her with their chests puffed out waiting to be praised but then they heard Mo Qiang say, "You all are really cute."

They are cute? Thats it?

Chichi who was older than Ya Ya immediately stomped his feet in frustration and said, "We are not only cute but there are a lot of things that we can do!"

"That... That is right!" Ya Ya chimed in with her tears brimming in her small little grape-like eyes. She held Chi Chi's sleeves looking really aggrieved even Little Jiao who thought that the two were too cute for doing heavy work on the farm could not withstand such a cute attack.

She rushed ahead and slapped Mo Qiang on the face and said angrily, "What is with you? How can you be so hard on these little children? Be a bit nice to them!"

Mo Qiang rubbed the spot where Little Jiao slapped her and frowned since the little squirrel's paw was only this big it did not hurt but it did itch a little. While rubbing her cheek, she pointed to the two kids and asked Little Jiao, "What do you want me to do with them then? Ask them to cheer me on with little pom-pom while I pick the corn ears?"

As soon as she spoke Ya Ya gasped and looked at Mo Qiang with a crybaby face, it was as if she was going to cry any second now! Chi Chi hushed the little girl up while glaring at Mo Qiang.

"Why? Are you looking down on mascots? I am telling you that even mascots are really important

"Little Jiao was still speaking when Ya Ya gasped again and this time she took three steps back and then fell on her bottom, big, fat drops of tears falling from her eyes as she cried shocking Little Jiao so much that she did not know what to do with the scene that was happening in front of her." What... Why are you crying?"

"Ya Ya... Ya Ya is not useless!" This was not the first time Ya Ya was witnessing something like this, she had been returned by the hosts who pulled her many times, everyone called her dud and then threw her back before summoning bigger and better spirits leaving her to be without work for a long time!

If this keeps on, the pixies who created her would throw her into the origin space and then let her existence be swallowed up!

Ya Ya did not want to die!

"I am not useless! Brother Chi is not useless as well! Dont throw us away, we will be killed if you do, and then you will become our murderer of two innocent summoning spirits like us and we will haunt you to death!" In just one breath Ya Ya used up all the threats that she had thought of before getting summoned, she was determined to go all out this time!

Chi Chi nodded fervently on the side as well because he did not have muscles and was not the usual macho spirit, he was sent back again and again just like Ya Ya, this time he just went ahead and said that if they were going to be summoned and sent back then they might as well go together at least they will have someone to be with when they were thrown into the origin space and swallowed up!

Mo Qiang felt her mouth twitch, she only wanted to harvest some corn and collect some honey because Mo Xifeng that reliable worker of hers fainted how in the world did she suddenly become a murderer of two summoning spirits?

But from the childish talk of Ya Ya, she could more or less understand that the two of them will be fired from work if she returned them, and by fired it looks like it meant to be killed in the world of these summoning spirits.

In the end, she pursed her lips and then thought carefully before crouching down and then looking at the two terrified kids, even though one of them was crying and the other was glaring at her, Mo Qiang was not impatient with them since she grew up in the orphanage and almost raised half of the younger one until she turned eighteen.

Seeing these two look at her with so much desperation, she could not harden her heart to send them back and in the end, sighed and asked, "Fine, Fine," she wiped the tears of the small Ya Ya and said, " Show me what you can do, as long as you two prove me that you are useful I will not send you back."

In fact, these two were so cute that she might as well keep them as mascots even if they were useless duds.

Mother Mo faintedTurned out that Mo Qiang was underestimating the two spirits too much, as soon as she asked them to show off their powers, the two immediately grasped the opportunity like it was their final straw.



Chi Chi was the first to show off his skills, he raised his hands causing ten to twenty figurines all ranging from small to big, to rise from the soil, all twenty of them looked like his animal form.

Mo Qiang watched as Chi Chi ordered the figurines to pick the corn ears and then place them all in the small boxes that she had brought with her from home.

The little guy only needed to order those small and big figurines once and then they all rushed to scamper towards the corn field and then to both Mo Qiang and Little Jiao's surprise they watched the mud figurines picking up the corn ears one by one and filling the boxes that were sitting aside.

While Chi Chi was governing the mud figurines, Ya Ya had used up her powers to make two big and sturdy grass puppets which were made up of fallen twigs and leaves on the ground.

The two puppets looked like they were really weak but in front of Mo Qiang's wide eyes, they picked up the boxes that were full of corn ears from the ground and then place them all in the truck that Mo Qiang had driven here after getting the keys from Daddy Gui.

"That's so awesome," as soon as Mo Qiang muttered she heard two 'hehs' and turned to look at Chi Chi and Ya Ya, sure enough, those two looked super smug upon seeing that she was impressed by their skills!

Mo Qiang: "...."

In the end, she did not praise the two spirits anymore since she was worried that the two will end up flying to the high heavens. With the two spirits working for her, she did not even need to do anything and simply watch them clean up the field one by one, with Ya Ya's help she was even able to collect two bottles of A+++ grade maple honey.

Once they were done, Mo Qiang was prepared to leave, she asked Ya Ya to help her bring Mo Xifeng to the truck while leaving Chi Chi to return to his original form.

Though Chi Chi's skills were quite similar to that of Ya Ya's, his plus point was quick agility while Ya Ya's puppet solely relied on strength, no matter big or small they will be able to lift a lot of weight, while Chi Chi's figurines worked faster in terms of Ya Ya's but could not lift heavy weights.

Ya Ya did as Mo Qiang told her, she used her puppets to bring Mo Xifeng into the car and then turned to her animal form as well, the two of them were still level one and could not stay in their true forms for a long time, it was better to stay in the animal form and then use up their spiritual energy.

Mo Qiang waited until Mo Xifeng was sitting in the car with a seat belt secured around her waist and then turned the ignition on the car by pressing the button and then switched on the auto driving system after setting up their location.

Even though Mo Qiang was used to living in this place, she was not used to driving such a car which seemed to be one of those very complicated pieces of equipment that she might break if she was not careful with them.

This was why she learned how to use the auto-driving system and washed her hands from driving once and for all.

With the auto-driving system, Mo Qiang did not have to worry about smashing into others and safely brought the unconscious Mo Xifeng back with her but throughout the entire journey she could not help but prod Mo Xifeng.

Her predecessor was this useless that Mo Xifeng fainted in surprise when she saw her growing an A+++ grade crop.

" The original Mo Qiang only used to eat, sleep and drink all the time. If she got free time, she will smash things in the pub and the bars, of course, anyone who finds out that she now succeeded in growing the rare A+++ grade corn crop, I am sure they will faint as well," Little Jiao remarked gloomily, it would have been so good if she could have found a better host to transfer the current Mo Qiang's soul.

Instead of getting high favourability points, they were handing out shocks to others.

Even now when Mo Xifeng found out that Mo Qiang had grown the highly sought A+++ grade corp, her favourability points only rose by ten points and then the latter fainted. What kind of stupid luck was this?

Little Jiao could not understand whether she should be happy or she should be shedding tears of regret.

"It's your choice," was all Mo Qiang said, Little Jiao was only suffering a little since her campaign was not heading towards its goal as rapidly as she expected but she was the one who was paying the debts that the original owner of this body accumulated, was she not the one who was the most aggrieved here?

" Do you think that if there was any other choice, I would have chosen this scumbag?" Little Jiao asked angrily but then swallowed her words when she saw Mo Qiang looking at her with narrowed eyes.

" You are lucky that you don't have much flesh or else I would have roasted you alive," Mo Qiang responded angrily as she picked up Mo Xifeng while leaving Little Jiao to carry a corn ear as a piece of evidence.

She knew that with her predecessor's past actions, she will be grilled and questioned for either hurting Mo Xifeng or getting involved in a fight where Mo Xifeng went to protect her and ended up getting knocked out.

Because of such a bad personality, she even has to bring evidence with her to prove that Mo Xifeng's fainting had nothing to do with her!

------------------------

Mother Mo fainted ——2Just as Mo Qiang expected as soon as she stepped inside the house with an unconscious Mo Xifeng, she attracted the attention of everyone in the house. Even Wen Gui who was prancing around the living room jumped a little when he saw his daughter half-carrying and half-dragging Mo Xifeng.



Even though his mouth was covered with a face mask, Mo Qiang swore that she saw Wen Gui's mouth twitch when he saw her step inside the living room.

" You..." Mo Yan hardly opened her mouth when she was handed an ear of corn by the flying squirrel just as Mo Qiang helped Mo Xifeng onto the couch that was sitting in the living and raised her hand in the air as if she was making a solemn oath,

" I did nothing, Xifeng fainted after picking up the corn ear...this has nothing to do with me, well it's somewhat related to me but I had no hand in her fainting!"

So, stop looking at her with those eyes that were similar to that of the police officers who wanted to question a criminal!

Mo Yan did not believe her daughter, she knew Mo Xifeng, that girl did not even sneeze much less fall unconscious when she was training day and night to awaken her core how can she faint upon seeing just a corn ear? But as she felt the soothing warm current caress her fingers, she frowned and looked at the corn ear that she was holding in her hand.

At first, she did not understand what was wrong but when she focused her attention on the corn ear she was able to detect that the energy of the corn ear was not as simple as she expected it to be, it was dense and she could almost feel the warm current that was flowing inside her body just by the mere touch of the corn ear, with her eyes flickering she instilled a bit of her core energy into the corn ear that she was holding and was stunned upon realising that the corn ear that she was holding was of the finest grade!

" This...how did you get this..." did her daughter go to the imperial palace and raided it? Or did she snuck inside the house of some millionaire to steal this precious thing?

Mo Yan started to feel her entire body getting cold while her old bones started to hurt, if this daughter of hers stole this corn together with Mo Xifeng then she would be really in so much trouble! Maybe her majesty will send her away with her family to even a faraway star where no one lives such that her daughters will not be able to harm anyone.

But how did Mo Qiang steal this corn ear? No more importantly how did she convince the ever stern Mo Xifeng to steal with her? Her eldest daughter was hard to restrain but her second daughter was supposed to be the good kid! Did Mo Qiang lead her younger sister astray? She should have known that this was going to happen.

Mo Yan who was already imagining the worst-case scenario could already see the headlines for the next morning's news —— Mo sisters, daughter of the ex-general or skilled bandits!

" Huh, I grew it of course," Mo Qiang replied but Mo Yan was so engrossed in her own thinking that even after hearing the reply of her daughter, she could not understand what she said and then sighed with a disappointed expression on her face, " Of course, you grew this——-"

Halfway through her sentence, Mo Yan raised her head and looked at Mo Qiang who was blinking her eyes innocently and then frowned before asking, " What did you say? You did what?"

" I grew this corn," repeated Mo Qiang seeing that General Mo Yan was looking at her with a stumped expression she knew that her mother did not believe her which was why she pointed to the garage door and added, " I have brought three hundred catties of those corn ears if you don't believe then you can——" go and see.

Mo Qiang did not get a chance to finish her sentence because Mo Yan already rushed past her and went straight to the garage by pushing the door open, at first there was no noise but then ——

Crash, Boom, Thud!

One after another things started to fall on the ground scaring Wen Gui and the others so much that they jumped, the four people in the living room waited until the sounds of things falling stopped and waited for Mo Yan to return but when she did not return, Wen Gui frowned and walked towards the door of the garage which opened on the side of the living room and peeked inside the garage.

" Dear?" He called as he looked around and when his eyes fell on the unconscious Mo Yan who was buried under a bunch of things, his eyes widened until they were popping out of their sockets and he immediately turned around and shouted shrilly, " Qi Qi come here quick, your mother fainted, call a doctor! Quick!"

Mo Yan was different from Mo Xifeng, she was no longer young and her fall was not a good one either.

At once the entire house fell into chaos, while Mo Qiang helped Wen Gui to take Mo Yan out from the pile of things under which she was buried, Yan Fu called the doctor while Xie Jie helped the others by cleaning the garage floor which was cluttered because Mo Yan pulled the shelve upon which artificial grease and oil bottles were sitting.

Mo Qiang dragged Mo Yan out of the garage into the living room, as she dragged her mother out she was surprised that even though her mother's clothes were covered with oil and grease, the corn ear she was holding was securely wrapped in her jacket.

And when she tried to take the corn ear from her hands——

" I will fight you to death, you bastard!" General Mo rumbled.

Mo Qiang: "...." How am I a bastard? You gave birth to me!

--------------------

I will divorce you"It's nothing serious, she just suffered from a shock which is why she fainted." Doctor Chen finished examining Mo Yan and then placed her wireless stethoscope down as she picked up the notepad and then started to write something on it with her magnetic pencil.



This time Mo Qiang was the one who received the email from Doctor Chen since Mo Xifeng was still unconscious.

" Though there is a small sprain in her waist maybe she twisted her waist when she fell," Doctor Chen looked at the unconscious Mo Yan because Wen Gui did not want others to see the A+++ grade corn ear, he covered his wife's hands which were resting above her abdomen with a blanket, hiding the rare treasure that his wife refused to let go even when he and his daughter tried to pry it out of her clutches.

His wife was hugging that corn ear as if she wanted to take it down with her to her grave! Ptui, ptui what was he thinking? But even so, Wen Gui was quite annoyed with his stepdaughter and wife, his daughter did something so good and the two of them actually fainted in shock. This was ridiculous!

Doctor Chen wanted to take a good look at Mo Yan's waist but Wen Gui stopped her by saying that he will get jealous if she was to see Mo Yan's strong waist.

His words caused Doctor Chen a lot of discomfort, both she and Mo Yan were women what was wrong with her checking Mo Yan's waist but seeing that Wen Gui kept staring at her with that envious gaze of his, she could only do a rough estimation.

" You should buy those medicines and give them to your mother, Qiang," Doctor Chen was Mo Yan's good friend and thus was not at all polite with the Mo family, she gave a lot of reminders to Mo Qiang and did a small check up on Mo Xifeng before announcing that the latter was fine as well and would be waking up at any moment now.

Wen Gui paid two thousand gold coins to Doctor Chen as her consultation fee and then sent her away before turning around and walking inside his bedroom with an ugly expression on his face, his smile slipping down his face as soon as Doctor Chen left.

He walked towards the side of the bed and then without giving anyone a chance to say anything, he raised his hand and slapped Mo Yan on the cheek so hard that his five fingerprints appeared on Mo Yan's pale cheek.

Mo Yan who was unconscious till now immediately sat up straight on the bed and screamed, " Gui Gui, lock the doors and shut the windows, the space bandits are here to steal the corn!"

However, as she finished speaking she saw that her daughter and sons-in-law were standing in front of her looking at her with dubious looking expressions while Wen Gui was angrily glowering at her.

For a second Mo Yan did not understand anything but then she looked at the corn ear and then dropped her gaze at the bed on which she was lying before her complexion turned pale and she raised her hands and said, " Gui Gui, listen to me——"

" Oh, I will listen to you," Wen Gui took his slippers off and Mo Qiang ushered her husbands out of the room not wanting to watch her mother getting smacked by slippers but even though she closed the door behind her, she could still hear the shouts of her father.

" If Xifeng does something then you will throw your hands up and cheer for her and when my daughter does something unique, you will faint? Who are you looking down on huh? Me? Do you really think that the son of a bitch who abandoned you without a divorce has better genes than me, huh?"

Each time he spoke, he would smack Mo Yan with his slippers, the sound was so loud that even Mo Qiang and the rest could hear it, the three of them looked at each other awkwardly and then turned to look away without saying anything.

This ruckus was so loud that Mo Xifeng who was unconscious also returned to her senses and then asked dumbly, " Is the imperial army here to snatch you, sister?"

....

" All right," Mo Yan whose face was covered with bandages looked at the corns that were now sitting inside the living room with a complicated look in her eyes and then said, " I think we should think of a way to sell them. As long as we sell these corn ears, we will be able to pay the compensation for the next six months in advance——"

" No," Wen Gui however spoke up interrupting Mo Yan who frowned and looked at her husband with a confused look in her eyes and could not help but ask,

" What do you mean by no? Are you thinking of keeping these corn ears at home?"

" Of course not, are you stupid?" Wen Gui shot a white look at his wife before turning around and exchanging a glance with Mo Xifeng whose expression turned gloomy. " If we sell these corn ears directly, then I am afraid that we will attract the attention of the Wei family, they will certainly try to harm Qi Qi once they find out that she is the one who is growing these crops, have you forgotten just how deep the enmity between you and that Wei woman runs?"

He curled his lips and then said disdainfully, " I am sure that she might have left a few spies of hers in this place as well, if we do something without taking proper measures, not only will we be pushing Qi Qi in danger but we will also be in just as much danger, maybe this time that Wei woman will start thinking of a way to get rid of us once and for all!"

Mo Yan did not think that the matter was as serious since she had already lost her position but that only annoyed Wen Gui even more, he slapped his wife on the arm again and then sneered before speaking coldly,

" You said the same thing when you went to war with Zergs, I told you that the Wei woman was planning something but you did not take my words seriously, look what happened? We are thrown into this horrible place while that woman is enjoying all the benefits that were supposed to be ours!"

----------------

I will divorce you ——2Every time he thought about how Mo Yan was wronged and how that Wei woman snatched everything that was supposed to belong to their family and that too after causing such a great humiliation to his family, Wen Gui couldn't help but grind his teeth so hard in hatred that they started to creak.



Mo Yan wanted to coax her husband but before she could say anything Mo Xifeng opened her mouth and said, " Daddy Gui is right, Mother. For the time being, I think you should call Aunt Lui, she will help you in selling these corn ears for a decent price, you can also ask Aunt Lui to cover up for us."

Mo Lui was Mo Yan's half-sister and even though the two of them only shared blood from their mother's side, the two of them were very close, in fact, it was Mo Lui who warned Mo Yan a day ahead of her trial and asked her to transfer all her assets which could be moved under Wen Gui's name, it was because of Mo Lui who was the assistant of the Empress that they were able to survive in this barren star.

With her status and power, Mo Xifeng was sure that her aunt will be able to cover up for their family.

She exchanged a look with Wen Gui who nodded furtively and added, " Even though I know that you trust the people who came to this barren star with us, I still think that there is no disadvantage in being a bit cautious, mother. Sister grew an A+++ grade crop, you would not want her to fall in the hands of the wrong people right?"

" If even a single strand of my Qi Qi's hair goes missing because of your blind trust, Mo Yan, I will skin you alive and then send your mutilated corpse to get my daughter back, you get it?" Wen Gui threatened with narrowed eyes as he glared at Mo Yan who gulped.

Mo Qiang who was watching the show almost applauded when she saw how skilfully, Wen Gui and Mo Xifeng played the role of good and bad cop.

Seeing that she was being refuted one after another, Mo Yan turned to look at Mo Qiang and asked, " What do you think, Qi Qi? Are you okay with this?"

Mo Qiang hated her Aunt Lui the most, maybe it was because Mo Lui reminded her of Mo Xifeng who was better in every aspect than her, she did not treat her aunt well who too did not like to press her warm face against the cold iron plate either and ignored her eldest niece which further distanced their relationship.

" I don't really care, as long as you leave me a box of these corn ears and the bottle of maple honey," Mo Qiang also knew about Mo Lui but when she thought about the relationship between her predecessor and this aunt, she felt a headache coming.

Forget it, she will take care of one relationship at a time.

" You also have honey?" Mo Yan who did not notice the honey bottles earlier shrieked as she rushed to the box which had two large bottles of maple honey inside them and was speechless for a long time. Her daughter? When did she become a treasure chest?

As Mo Yan stared at the A+++ grade honey she could not help but tremble in excitement.

" If you drop that bottle and faint, I am divorcing you," warned Wen Gui when he saw that Mo Yan was trembling as she had never seen honey before, though he was shocked as well but Wen Gui was a doting father who believed firmly that his daughter was the best and was only led astray for a while.

Now that she was doing well, he was not as shocked as his wife.

Hearing Wen Gui's warning Mo Yan shivered but for a different reason, she carefully placed the bottle of honey back and then tucked it nicely such that it won't even move a little only then did she turn and showed Wen Gui a fawning smile.

Mo Qiang left her parents to it, she did not care what and how they sold the corns as long as she gets the desired price that she wanted instead she went ahead and tugged Mo Xifeng's sleeves like a little wife and asked with her hands joined like she was praying, " Little Jifeng, if you are free tomorrow can you please come with me? There is somewhere that I need to go very much."

Mo Xifeng now had a better opinion of her sister so she naturally agreed while Yan Fu and Xie Jie who saw the scene in front of them could not help but frown a little, why was it that instead of fawning at them, their wife was fawning on their sister in law?

Yan Fu and Xie Jie naturally had a lot of questions that they wanted to ask Mo Qiang but seeing that she was busy they could only swallow their questions and wait till the next morning but the two of them did not expect that Mo Qiang who slept till eight in the morning would wake up early and then even leave the house with Mo Xifeng first thing in the morning!

Yan Fu blinked his eyes as he looked at the empty room of his wife which was cleaner than before and turned to look at Xie Jie, " What do you think of this? I am afraid that I will die of high blood pressure like this!"

He was patient for an entire night thinking that he will go and have a talk with his wife about her recent changes but that woman, she completely ignored him and left with Mo Xifeng. Who here was her husband? Him or Mo Xifeng?

"It's good that Hui'er is not here and went to see his father, he might have really fainted with high blood pressure," Xie Jie remarked as he turned to go back to his room.

His eyes flickered as he tried to understand the sudden changes in Mo Qiang, how come someone change so much and that too in just a day?

Let me dieShao Hui did not know what was happening at the Mo house, he carried the tragically burned chicken which was given a new life by his father-in-law inside the small hospital where his father was admitted.



He ignored the gazes of the mer nurses who were working in the hospital along with the doctors, he was infamous in this hospital because of the debts that were piling up on his shoulders day by day even though his mother-in-law helped him a little here and there in paying the bills of the hospital whose amount was touching the sky, there was only a little she could do.

With his gaze in front, he then took the glass elevator which was in the shape of a capsule to the fifth floor where his father's ward was, as soon as the Elevator came to a stop, he stepped inside the corridor and smelled the scent of disinfectant since the cleaning mer was on duty and was mopping the floor.

Upon seeing Shao Hui, the mer who was in charge of cleaning paused and looked up. His face broke into a smile and he greeted Shao Hui, " Brother Hui, you are here? Uncle Shi will be overjoyed. He was missing you just yesterday and you are here today, sure enough, your heart and Uncle Shi's heart are connected."

Even though the mer in charge of cleaning was speaking of the incident joyfully, he heard from his colleague that Uncle Shi who was admitted to ward number five hundred five was actually discussing getting euthanasia while telling the doctors that he did not want to stay alive and become a burden on his son.

It was then he mentioned Shao Hui saying that he will see his son one last time and ask for his permission to die because he really could not continue a life like this.

" Is that so?" Shao Hui smiled when he heard the cleaning mer's words not realising that the cleaning mer was looking at him with pity while lowering his gaze. " I am glad to hear that Father was missing me, anyway, Wu Ya is there anything that I need to know about? Were there any changes in Father's vitals when I was gone?"

Though he knew that the toxins in his father's body were too deeply embedded that unless they were taken out by experts of the imperial star nothing was going to change, Shao Hui still hoped for a miracle.

But when he saw Wu Ya shake his head, he knew that there was no such thing as a miracle in his life.

The light in Shao Hui's eyes dimmed but then he hitched his smile up and then patted Wu Ya on the shoulder before saying, "It's all right, I am working on it. I am sure that I will one day save enough money to save my father."

As long as he was alive, he will keep trying!

Wu Ya did not tell Shao Hui that even though he was willing to fight for a chance for Father Shao to restart his life, the latter might have already made a decision for himself.

He could only helplessly nod his head as he watched Shao Hui walk inside the ward of his father after knocking on the door.

" Daddy?" Shao Hui peeked inside the hospital room which despite lacking the medical equipment was clean and smelled of room freshener.

Father Shao was watching the television and when Shao Hui followed his gaze and saw whom his father was watching so attentively, his face turned gloomy as he marched inside and snatched the remote from the cabinet and closed the flying television screen which shut down with a flash causing the face of the woman who was speaking while answering the interviewers vanish.

Only then did Father Shao turn to look at his son with tears in his eyes and was startled when he saw that the one who was standing behind him, it was none other than Shao Hui.

" Ah Hui, you are here?" Father Shao wiped his eyes and sniffed.

Seeing him like this Shao Hui did not have the heart to scold his father, all he could do was walk forward and place the tiffin box that he had brought with him on the bedside cabinet before taking out a handkerchief and wiping his father's tears.

" Why do you have to do this to yourself, Daddy?" Shao Hui asked as he wiped the tears off his father's cheeks carefully trying his best not to hurt his molten skin which still looked like it was melting, his gaze fell on the bad eye of his father which needed to be treated and felt his heart ache even further.

His father was almost blind but he was still willing to use his good eye to see that woman's face who did not care about his life and death and shed tears for her.

" I just... I just could not help myself, Ah Hui," Father Shao sobbed as he allowed his son to wipe his tears. His heart thumping painfully in his chest as he muttered, " I mean... your mother and I were obviously happy then how come ...she abandoned me like this? How can she abandon us like this and your sister——"

"I have no sister and no mother, Daddy," Shao Hui sharply cut off his father's speech, he still could not understand how his father could keep those two women in his heart when they kicked him out the second he turned useless to them. " They died for me the day when they kicked you out of the house, and it's time you accept this as well, that woman only cared for you because you were beautiful back then, she loved your face, not you and as for the woman you call your daughter, hehe, she loves her pride more than the mer who gave her life, stop thinking about them."

He paused and then added ruthlessly, " Did you not see? They sold me to General Mo and let me get married to that useless daughter of the Mo family. But now that they have money they neither care for you nor me, are they worthy of your tears?"

--------------------

Let me die —-2Father Shao could not say a word, he could only lower his head and cry pitifully, he still could not believe that his wife who doted on him would kick him out by calling him a jinx after believing the pillow talk of the other mer husband of hers when he saved her life by putting his own life on the line.



" Daddy..." Shao Hui helplessly looked at his crying father and then pulled the stool before sitting down on the side of the bed as he took his father's hands and carefully caressed them. " Don't cry, I am here with you.. as long as I am here, I will make sure that you regain your dignity, I promise that I will make that woman regret leaving you like this, so stop crying, all right?"

Only then did Father Shao remember that he needed to talk to his son about euthanasia but before he could say anything, Shao Hui took the shredded porridge from the tiffin and handed it to his father with a smile before saying proudly, " This was cooked by me, come on taste it and tell me how did I do."

Though the steaming bowl of chicken porridge was made by him, his father-in-law made sure to supervise him until his brows were sweating like crazy. Shao Hui hoped that his hard work did not go in vain, after all, the hits of his father-in-law's feather duster hurt really bad!

Father Shao heard that this bowl of chicken porridge was made by his son and his eyes lit up with small smiles, he knew that his son was really bad at cooking having grown up as a little prince who was later sold off when his mother went bankrupt, seeing that he was slowly getting used to his life, Father Shao's heavy heart relaxed a little.

' As long as Ah Hui is living a good life, I will be able to die in peace,' thought Father Shao who took a bite of the porridge, even though he could taste the burnt chicken he still smiled and looked up at Shao Hui before praising him, " You have done a good job, Ah Hui."

Seeing that his father was smiling, Shao Hui heaved a sigh of relief and then said, " Is that so? Then make sure to finish the whole bowl."

If this was any other day, Father Shao would have refused but with the decision of taking euthanasia, he ate the bowl of porridge that his son cooked without a fuss. Maybe this was going to be the last meal that was cooked for him by his son.

Shao Hui who had no idea what was going on in the head of his father was naturally very happy when he saw that his father was willing to eat the entire bowl of porridge, his smile continued to become wider and wider and when he saw that his father ate the last grain of rice, his face was shining like a Christmas tree.

" Looks like I did a good job, Daddy, I will make sure that I will do better the next time——"

" There is no need because there might not be a next time," said Father Shao suddenly causing Shao Hui's smile to turn stiff as he knitted his brows and asked, " What do you mean by that Daddy?"

Father Shao hesitated before he licked his lips which caused him immense pain and he winced but then he summoned his courage and said, " I was thinking of asking the doctors to prescribe me euthanasia, you know how developed it is now... I will not even feel anything it will be like going to sleep after a day of hard work ——"

" You want to die?" Shao Hui asked with a voice that was filled with disbelief, he looked at his father in shock and anger while his eyes turned red as he pushed his stool with a jerk causing it to fall on the floor but with the new technology it did not make a loud noise and just made a muffled thudding sound but even that sound hammered on Father Shao's heart like an explosion.

" Its too painful, Ah Hui—— I can't, I don't want to become a burden on you——"

" You are not a burden to me! To me, you are my only family member! How can...how can..just how..." Shao Hui was in so much pain that he felt like his heart was going to burst, his father for whom he was willing to give his entire life was asking him to give him the permission to die willingly.

" Ah Hui... listen to me," Father Shao reached his hand forward to catch Shao Hui but the latter took several steps back and shook his head angrily.

" I am not going to listen to you, I did not work so hard ... I did not marry that monster ... all for you to kill yourself!" Shao Hui roared at his father, his eyes brimming with tears. " Have you ever thought about what will happen to me after you are gone? You are the only one who cares for me in this world! If you leave me, what will I be left with?"

" Ah Hui," Father Shao wanted to explain, he wanted to tell his son that he did not like him running around for his sake but before he could, Shao Hui shook his head, his breathing turning rugged as he raised his hand and pointed at Father Shao, " I will never agree to this, even if I have to sell myself, I will do that but I will never watch you die in front of my eyes! Not like a fcking loser! You need to pay them all back for the humiliation, you deserve better than this!"

With that, he turned around on his heels and then dashed out of the room without giving a chance to his father to say anything else. He was afraid ... he was really afraid that if he saw the desperation in his father's eyes then he might really agree to the choice that he took for himself.
