Lan Lan and Xiao Yi also visited Lu Wanqing and Cui Cui's shop, along with Harvey. Little Harvey also brought his sister Ya Ya to the StarNet and met his mother in the StarNet shop, buying many small gifts for Ya Ya.
Lan Lan and Xiao Yi were also happy to see Ya Ya, as they knew she was their mother and His Majesty Father's goddaughter, making Ya Ya their god-sister.
All the children were only children at home, and this was the first time they had a sister. Especially with Ya Ya's adorable appearance, they adored her. The older brothers all bought many small gifts and gave them to Ya Ya.
Little Shushu and Little Cui Cui also liked Ya Ya a lot. Everyone gave many small gifts to Ya Ya.
Lu Wanqing, finding Ya Ya so cute, specially picked out the prettiest outfit in the shop as a gift for the little one.
After receiving so many small gifts, everyone successfully dressed up little Ya Ya to be the most beautiful and adorable, making her the undisputed center of attention.
Days passed by, and in the blink of an eye, a year had gone by. From the Insectoid side, good news finally arrived from the third brother.
The news was brought back by Ouyang Jian.
Ouyang Jian: "Lu Wanqing, Lu Yang is not dead. He's alive!"
Ouyang Jian: "Image 1."
Ouyang Jian: "Image 2."
When Lu Wanqing received the message, she was helping a customer try on clothes. She opened her optical computer to check and then her vision went black, causing her to disconnect from the StarNet.
When a person's mental energy is unstable, they lose connection with the StarNet and get disconnected. This was Lu Wanqing's current situation.
The customers in the shop were greatly startled.
However, Lu Wanqing quickly returned. She didn't have time to attend to the customers. She stared at the images sent by Ouyang Jian, enlarged them, and looked at them several times. Finally, she confirmed that her eyes weren't deceiving her. Her third brother was indeed alive. Her eyes immediately welled up, and then a wide smile spread across her face.
Once she composed herself, Lu Wanqing quickly messaged Ouyang Jian: "Where did you find him? Where is Third Brother now?"
Lu Wanqing was so nervous that her hands were trembling as she typed such a simple sentence. It took her a few extra seconds to send the message.
Over there, Ouyang Jian also replied quickly.
Ouyang Jian: "On the Insectoid side. We've had people secretly infiltrating the Insectoids to investigate. Recently, someone sent back word that they saw A Yang. The photos were taken secretly. Don't leak them for now, lest the Insectoids find out, which would be detrimental to Lu Yang."
Upon seeing the message, Lu Wanqing nervously glanced around her. Seeing customers, she instinctively became tense and guarded.
The customers were startled by her gaze and cautiously stepped back.
She hadn't stolen anything from the shop, had she? Why was the goddess Wanqing staring at her like that?
Lu Wanqing soon realized her lapse in composure. In the interstellar era, technology was very advanced, especially regarding personal information. Her optical computer's permissions were not open to strangers, so others couldn't see her messages.
"I apologize. I just saw something very interesting and lost my composure," Lu Wanqing quickly apologized to the customer.
The customer reacted and nodded quickly: "Yes, oh... okay."
"Um... I have something to attend to right now. I'll have the store's intelligent robot accompany you to try on clothes. If you find anything you like, you can place an order yourself. Is that okay?" Lu Wanqing added quickly.
The customer felt that Lu Wanqing genuinely had something to do and quickly nodded: "Ah, it's fine. Please go ahead with your business. You should do what you need to do."
Lu Wanqing nodded quickly, then couldn't suppress her impulse and immediately logged off the StarNet.
Back at home, she glanced around the room. No one was there. She quickly opened her optical computer and continued messaging Ouyang Jian. 138 Reading Network.
Lu Wanqing chatted with Ouyang Jian for a long time before she finally understood that her third brother was indeed alive. She couldn't control her tears, which began to fall.
After calming down, Lu Wanqing asked about her third brother's situation.
However, Ouyang Jian didn't know the specific details. These two photos were very carefully taken by their spies embedded within the Insectoids. It was said that Lu Yang's identity within the Insectoids was very special, and he was almost always with the Insectoid Queen. The spies dared not get too close for fear of their identities being discovered.
Ouyang Jian: "Don't worry too much. Lu Yang is very capable. We've always believed in him."
"Mhm, mhm," Lu Wanqing quickly nodded.
Ouyang Jian: "We will find a way to figure out the situation. If possible, we will also try to rescue him. You don't need to rush."
"Thank you," Lu Wanqing quickly sent a message of gratitude.
The Insectoids were beings she knew nothing about. After a year of being missing, she was already ecstatic to know her third brother was alive.
After the conversation ended, Lu Wanqing still couldn't control her excitement.
It was the summer vacation, and Cui Cui was also on holiday. With time on her hands, Lu Wanqing asked for Cui Cui and Wei Xingzhou's opinions and finally decided to take Cui Cui with her to Tian Xing.
However, Lu Wanqing did not expect that this trip would lead to another accident.
On the way to Tian Xing, their spaceship was suddenly hijacked by Insectoids. A special mist was injected into the ship, causing everyone to pass out. When they woke up, they found themselves in the Insectoid territory.
But this was not the most shocking thing. What frightened Lu Wanqing the most was that in front of her appeared a person who looked exactly like her.
Lu Wanqing's face turned pale, and she instinctively hid Cui Cui behind her.
The woman stared at her and approached step by step.
"Who... who are you?" Lu Wanqing's heart pounded, and she asked nervously.
"Me?" The woman smiled. She looked at Lu Wanqing coldly and said, "My name is Lu Wanqing. I use your name, and I am also... your face."
Because he liked it, she had transformed everything about herself to look like Lu Wanqing. But she didn't understand, nor was she willing to accept, what made her inferior to Lu Wanqing. Why, after so many years, did he still refuse to even glance at her?
"Lu Wanqing."
"Let me see how much you like Lu Yang."
The Insectoid Queen said, her unique insectoid eyes flashing with danger, truly terrifying.
After speaking, the Insectoid Queen looked at Cui Cui, whom Lu Wanqing was shielding behind her.
Lu Wanqing instinctively opened her arms, protecting Cui Cui behind her.
However, the Insectoid Queen paid no heed to Lu Wanqing's protection. She stared at Cui Cui for a long time before suddenly laughing, a self-mocking laugh. "Lu Wanqing, you and Lu Yang truly have a deep connection. Look... you've been separated for so many years, and you can't even see each other, yet your genes have still come together."
Lu Wanqing: "???"
"But I... I just don't believe in fate. What should I do?" The Insectoid Queen suddenly looked at Lu Wanqing, her voice chillingly cold.
"What... what do you mean?" Lu Wanqing asked nervously, her trembling voice revealing her current fear.
"It means nothing. I'm just here to inform you of something. I want to play a game with you. If you win, I will withdraw. I will release Lu Yang and your brothers, and let your family reunite. If..."
The Insectoid Queen raised her hand and pulled off the human skin mask on her face, revealing her true appearance. She was also a very beautiful woman, noble, cold, and even exuding a strong sense of regality, even more beautiful than Lu Wanqing.
"If you lose, and I win, then you and your children will die directly and become my nourishment. From now on, Lu Yang will be with me, forever and ever, and we will never be separated again," the Insectoid Queen's voice was chillingly cold.
