"Wei Xingzhou is also here," Zhongli Feiyu messaged again.
Wei Xingzhou?
Lu Yang was surprised again.
Lu Yang's mind raced. He continued to message, "The Zerg Empress has likely gone to Earth. Be careful."
"We will," Zhongli Feiyu replied.
"By the way, how did you get in?" Lu Yang quickly remembered and messaged Zhongli Feiyu again to ask.
Seeing the message, Zhongli Feiyu felt complicated. After hesitating for a moment, he briefly explained the artificial wormhole technology to Lu Yang. Unfortunately, the artificial wormhole technology currently researched by the federation was not mature. After they entered, they could no longer get out.

At the cave, after Lu Wanqing blocked the live-streaming camera, she still felt uneasy for some reason. After a moment of hesitation, she brought Cui Cui into the cave and reminded her not to mention Wei Xingzhou giving them things outside.
Although Cui Cui didn't know why, she agreed because her mother told her to.
With the mother and daughter having discussed things and in good spirits, they then proceeded to process the prey.
Even with bamboo, it was inconvenient to process the prey without a knife. Lu Wanqing spent the entire afternoon just to manage to process the prey.
The fur of the weasel was skinned, and the hide and meat were washed clean with water. The hide was then hung to dry, and the cleaned meat was roasted over the fire.
After doing all this, Lu Wanqing was exhausted. Fortunately, once the fire was lit, she could rest for a while. Cui Cui would add firewood to the fire, so Lu Wanqing didn't have to worry too much.
Lu Wanqing kept glancing around. The live-streaming camera was covered. If Wei Xingzhou received the message, he should come, right?
Whether he was worried about Cui Cui, or because there was no live-streaming camera watching, they could rest assured and come over. Wei Xingzhou should come immediately, at least according to his personality.
But Wei Xingzhou had not arrived yet.
Lu Wanqing felt the unease that had been lingering in her heart suddenly intensify.
Was the feeling of being watched from behind really Wei Xingzhou?
If it wasn't Wei Xingzhou...
Or perhaps, there was something near her and Cui Cui that was watching them, and Wei Xingzhou knew about the existence of that thing, which was why he hadn't dared to come even though the livestream was off.
Cui Cui, next to her, tilted her head and kept looking at her mother, as if she couldn't get enough.
"Mommy, is my biological dad... His Majesty Father?" Cui Cui asked cautiously after a long silence.
Lu Wanqing froze upon hearing this and looked at Cui Cui.
Cui Cui became inexplicably nervous. Her heart was pounding, but being looked at by her mother, she couldn't control herself. Her heart raced. "It's just... the Zerg Empress said before that even though you and His Majesty Father were separated for so many years, your genes still came together."
Cui Cui blinked and looked at her mother, her voice trembling. "She said that while staring at me."
"Mommy, does the Zerg Empress mean that I'm a child cultivated from your and His Majesty Father's genes?" Cui Cui asked earnestly.
Lu Wanqing's heart also hung in suspense. The situation before had been too dangerous, and she hadn't had the mood to think about these things. But now, calming down, Lu Wanqing found it absurd.
How could this be possible?
The world was so vast...
Besides, her third brother was using a bionic body now, so it was impossible to have real human genes.
Unless her third brother had frozen his genes back in the ancient Earth era, over three thousand years ago.
And that gene had to be lucky enough to be preserved throughout the long river of history without losing its viability. And it had to be such a coincidence that it was brought to the Wei family and placed with her genes to cultivate a child.
Lu Wanqing looked at Cui Cui, and for some reason, she felt that Cui Cui really had a trace of her third brother in her.
Could this be true?
"Mom doesn't know," Lu Wanqing thought nervously for a long time and finally shook her head.
"When we leave here, when we see His Majesty Father again, we can ask His Majesty Father, okay?" Lu Wanqing asked Cui Cui with a smile.
If possible, she also hoped that Cui Cui was her third brother's child. If her third brother knew that Cui Cui was their biological daughter, he would surely be very happy, right?
Thinking about it, Lu Wanqing felt even more that Cui Cui resembled her third brother.
"Okay," Cui Cui nodded happily.
As the mother and daughter chatted, the roasted meat was unknowingly done. The rich aroma of roasted meat wafted out.
Lu Wanqing tore off a piece and tasted it. It wasn't very good, as no seasonings were added. However, after eating peaches for days, having meat was already great.
After confirming the meat was fully cooked, Lu Wanqing tore off a piece, placed it on a clean leaf, and handed it to Cui Cui. Then, she tore off a piece for herself, and the mother and daughter began to eat together.
They were both girls, and their appetites weren't particularly large. They were full after eating half of it.
Lu Wanqing asked Cui Cui, and after Cui Cui said she didn't want any more, Lu Wanqing wrapped the remaining roasted meat in leaves and put it in the cave.
After finishing all this, it wasn't too late yet. Lu Wanqing glanced at the sky and took Cui Cui outside again.
Although the feeling of being watched from behind had not disappeared, they still had to do what they needed to do.
Lu Wanqing continued to take Cui Cui to collect leaves. There were many leaves in the forest, and they soon collected a lot more.
Lu Wanqing carried all these leaves back and spread them in the cave.
With the leaves brought back yesterday and the leaves from today, piled together, the leaves spread in the cave were much thicker now. Lying on them even felt a little soft and comfortable.
While Lu Wanqing and Cui Cui were busy in the cave, on the other side, the little black snake did not follow them back to the vicinity of the cave as it did during the day. Instead, it stayed beside the patches of green plants, extremely shocked.
It slowly swam into the green grass, feeling the life force emanating from these plants up close.
This was a long-lost, natural aura of ancient Earth, something that everyone in the entire interstellar era had dreamed of and fantasized about countless times, but never dared to hope could be realized.
Yet, Lu Wanqing had achieved it. She actually had the ability to restore vitality to the mutated plants of Earth.
Thinking this, the Zerg Empress silently swam to the peach tree that Lu Wanqing had visited before. She slightly raised her snake head and looked at the peach tree.
In the past few days, Lu Wanqing had come here whenever she had free time to water this peach tree with her water. In just a few days, the peach tree had turned a lush green, and the peaches on it were tender pink and very cute.
The little black snake hesitated for a moment, then finally climbed up the tree trunk. It found a peach, lowered its head, and took a bite.
The rich peach aroma filled its mouth. It was very sweet.
