Cuicui thought for a moment and finally agreed with a nod, "Okay."
On the spaceship, Little Harvey had just opened his live stream when he saw what Mommy said to Cuicui. His brain jolted, and he instantly felt unwell.
He had to study even while roughing it in the wilderness on Earth with Mommy?
That was too terrifying!
Xavier saw Harvey's reaction, his lips twitched, and he said speechlessly, "You have to study in the Imperial Capital too."
No matter where you go, studying is important.
Harvey: "..."
Xavier narrowed his eyes and looked at Harvey, seeming to guess something, and said, "Did you think you wouldn't have to study if you went roughing it in the wilderness on Earth with your mother?"
Little Harvey: "........"
Ouyang Jian also reacted and burst into laughter, "Kid, so you were in such a hurry to find Mommy, not because you missed Lu Wanqing, but to escape studying?"
"No way!" Little Harvey quickly retorted.
"I... I just thought it would be fun..." Little Harvey said weakly.
Xavier looked at Harvey and said earnestly, "Did you see Sister Cuicui's attitude? It's the same thing, studying. Your mommy asked Cuicui to study, and she agreed obediently without any fuss. But you..."
Harvey heard it, realizing his father was using this opportunity to educate him. He couldn't help but pout, "Even if I have to study, it's more fun on Mommy's side."
"Alright, when there's a chance, I'll let Lu Wanqing take you out to play," Xavier said.
Little Harvey's scalp tightened, and he quickly shook his head, "Forget... forget it."
As Little Harvey spoke, he looked towards the spaceship and commanded, "Dali, let's go back to the Imperial Capital."
Ouyang Jian and Xavier exchanged glances and couldn't help but smile. Ouyang Jian smiled with amusement, while Xavier smiled with helplessness.
***
Earth, after Lu Wanqing told Cuicui her usual bedtime story, the mother and daughter turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Admittedly, now that they knew the big gorilla outside was Zhong Li Feiyu and not a real danger, they no longer had to worry about the threat of large mutated animals or arrange for people to take turns on night watch. Being able to sleep together was quite comfortable.
However, while they were comfortable, on the other side, the Insect Queen was not at peace. Regarding the suggestion Lu Wanqing made to the live stream during the day, asking to send out some water for everyone to research, many people had sent her messages today, requesting her to agree to Lu Wanqing's condition.
Not only the insect race but even the humans had sent messages; they also wanted the mutant water.
Moreover...
It had to be said that the Insect Queen also felt that the mutant water that Lu Wanqing's abilities produced was important, and sending some out for research was not impossible.
The next day, when Lu Wanqing woke up in the morning, she found a person standing at the entrance of the wooden house – the Insect Queen!
Lu Wanqing immediately became defensive, pulling Cuicui behind her, and asked warily, "You..."
"Water."
"You said yesterday, you'd send some out for everyone to research, for both the insect race and humans," the Insect Queen said concisely.
Lu Wanqing's pupils widened in shock, "You... you agreed?"
Although Lu Wanqing had felt yesterday that the Insect Queen would probably agree, when the Insect Queen actually came to collect the water, she still found it incredible.
"Okay, no problem, I'll go get the water right away," Lu Wanqing said quickly.
Both the insect race and humans hoped for Earth to return to its former state. There was no problem in uniting the power of the entire interstellar community to research purified water and help Earth return to normal.
The Insect Queen took out two water bags and handed them to Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing took the water bags, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "Can this water be given to humans as well?"
The Insect Queen stared at Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing nervously said, "Well... I think human technology is also very advanced. If humans can also research it together, perhaps the speed of researching the purified water can be accelerated."
"Mm," the Insect Queen agreed with a nod.
Lu Wanqing was overjoyed and nodded quickly at the Insect Queen, then took the water bags to fill them with water.
On the other side, on the star net, the humans watching the Insect Queen through the live stream were all shocked. They couldn't believe it.
"Is that the Insect Queen? Why does she look so much like Goddess Wanqing?"
"She really does look alike. Could Goddess Wanqing and the Insect Queen be oviparous sisters?"
"Let me explain. The humanoid forms of the insect race are all transformations. It's not necessarily their true appearance. If the Insect Queen wished, she could transform to look like Goddess Wanqing. It doesn't necessarily mean Goddess Wanqing and the Insect Goddess look alike."
"Although Goddess Wanqing and the Insect Queen look alike, they are completely different. Goddess Wanqing looks so gentle, but the Insect Queen... I feel she's a bit domineering."
"Um... does the Insect Queen's current intention mean she agrees to give a portion of Goddess Wanqing's mutant water to humans for research?"
"Oh my god, are humans and the insect race going to research water together and save Earth? Shocked!"
"Equally shocked. Is this possible? Thinking of the insect race makes me scared."
On the insect side, many insects were also watching the live stream and saw this scene. They were extremely happy and expectant.
"Ahhh, the Queen agreed! After this water is brought back, can we research water that can completely purify Earth very soon?"
"Earth's recovery is just around the corner!"
"Hope Earth recovers its health soon!!!"
Lu Wanqing couldn't be bothered with the excited emotions of humans and insects at this moment. Initially, she thought the two bags brought by the Insect Queen were a bit small, but as she used her abilities to catalyze and fill them with water, she was surprised to find that these bags... were they too capacious?
They looked like ordinary hot water bags, but she had poured a lot of water into them, and they didn't seem to be full.
Lu Wanqing couldn't help but pick up a water bag and shake it.
"This is a water space, not an ordinary hot water bag. It can store a lot of water. Just fill some into it; you don't need to fill it completely," the Insect Queen reminded.
Lu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded, "Oh, okay."
That being said, Lu Wanqing still wanted to pour in more water, as research was a difficult task, and it might not succeed in just one or two tries. It might take a long time to research.
Besides, there were so many humans, and both the Federation and the Empire should have some, right?
The insect race should have some too.
If she got more water, it would be convenient for their research.
The Insect Queen watched from the side as Lu Wanqing's face turned slightly pale due to excessive use of her abilities. She didn't say anything, but her dislike for Lu Wanqing gradually decreased.
Lu Wanqing was truly different from most greedy humans.
As the Insect Queen thought this, Lu Wanqing's vision darkened due to excessive use of her abilities, and she almost fell.
The Insect Queen took a step forward and caught her.
"Thank you," Lu Wanqing, regaining her composure, quickly said.
The Insect Queen quickly let go of her hand.
