"Mommy!" Little Zhong Liyi saw Lu Wanqing wake up and quickly came over, calling out with concern and care.
Seeing her child, Lu Wanqing's mind cleared a little.
She pulled the child into her embrace, feeling that the child was alive, in her arms, that she and Xiao Yi were also fine, that they hadn't been discovered by the sawfish, and that the terrifying events from her dream hadn't happened. Her heart, pounding like a drum, slowly calmed down.
Little Zhong Liyi seemed to sense his mommy's fear. He carefully hugged his mommy and comforted her, "Mommy, don't be scared. Daddy will definitely come to save us."
"Mm," Lu Wanqing nodded.

Meanwhile, in space, on the spaceship, Zhong Lifeiyu had been anxious since the communication ended. What should he do? How could he find the correct direction within half a month?
Zhong Lifeiyu was agitated and couldn't help but order a small spacecraft to be brought out. He imitated the way Lu Wanqing and Little Zhong Liyi had flown in space before. But at that very moment, he suddenly remembered.
Right!
There was still someone who knew!
The space pirates!
The space pirates who had kidnapped Lu Wanqing and Xiao Yi before!
Zhong Lifeiyu immediately abandoned the small spacecraft and returned to the spaceship, issuing an urgent order: "Investigate! Find the space pirates who kidnapped Wanqing and Xiao Yi before!"
The adjutant was stunned and bewildered, "General? We..."
"Hurry and investigate! If we find them, we'll know the flight path they set for the spacecraft!!!" Zhong Lifeiyu ordered coldly.
The adjutant's mind jolted, and he suddenly realized. That's right! They couldn't locate Miss Lu and the young master through tracking, but the small spacecraft's flight required commands. Those pirates must know the direction the spacecraft was flying!
The adjutant became excited and quickly agreed, "Yes!"
It was difficult to find which planet Lu Wanqing and Little Zhong Liyi were on within the insectoid territory. However, it was not so difficult to capture space pirates within human territory!
But time was still extremely pressing. They only had half a month. They had to capture those space pirates within half a month, find out the flight path they had set for the spacecraft, and then set off immediately to rescue Lu Wanqing and Little Zhong Liyi!
Receiving the order, the adjutant immediately had people investigate. To everyone's surprise, just as the people they sent out departed, they received news.
The adjutant hurried back and sent a string of data to Zhong Lifeiyu, "General, this is what our people obtained at the border star. They said... Xavier specifically asked someone to leave this information for you."
"Guy Xavier?" Zhong Lifeiyu frowned.
The adjutant nodded, "Yes!"
The adjutant worried, "General, could there be a problem with this?!"
Zhong Lifeiyu stared at the data, pondered for a few seconds, then looked up and said coldly, "Order the spaceship to depart immediately and follow this direction to investigate."
The adjutant's expression changed, and he worried, "General, could it be an ambush?"
Zhong Lifeiyu said coldly, "Depart!"
The adjutant's expression straightened, and he solemnly agreed, "Yes!"
The spaceship of the Seventh Legion soon set off, heading in the direction indicated by the information.

Twilight Star.
Little Harvey was sulking and unhappy!
"Daddy, why aren't we going to find Mommy ourselves!" Little Harvey was very angry. They had finally captured those scoundrels from the Three Blades Pirate Group and forced out Mommy's whereabouts. Moreover, they were the first to find her, and everyone else had not. If they went fast enough, they could snatch Mommy back.
Xavier looked down at his son with indifferent eyes.
Little Harvey kicked a small stone by the roadside, unhappy. "If we go over and rescue Mommy, then Mommy will be ours. Harvey will have Mommy."
"And then bring that kid from the Zhongli family along too?" Guy Xavier's indifferent voice questioned.
Little Harvey was enraged at this. He quickly raised his head, unconvinced, "Why should we bring someone else? Everyone except Mommy can be discarded!"
Xavier said expressionlessly and coldly, "Lu Wanqing really likes that child. If you don't save that child, she will be very sad, and might even hate you."
Little Harvey: "...Then after we rescue that little brat, we can just hand him over to the Seventh Legion, right? As long as we don't raise him ourselves."
Little Harvey was angry. He glared at his father indignantly, "Daddy, you don't want to snatch Mommy back, do you?"
Xavier lowered his eyes to look at Little Harvey.
Little Harvey wasn't afraid. He said angrily, "You're just afraid of trouble. Mommy is a Super S-class mecha master, very powerful. If we snatch Mommy away, the Federation people will definitely not agree, and they'll all come looking for Mommy. We'll be chased by them constantly, which is very troublesome."
Xavier was silent for a moment, then asked, "Who told you these words?"
Little Harvey didn't speak.
Xavier said, "Was it Uncle Zhong?"
"Uncle Zhong isn't wrong!" Little Harvey was unconvinced and kicked another small stone by the roadside, extremely angry. "You're just scared. You're afraid the army will come looking for us, so you don't dare to bring Mommy back!"
"Coward!"
"Stingy!"
"You're incompetent!"
"I look down on you!"
Little Harvey cursed relentlessly.
Xavier remained expressionless, watching the brat curse. After a long time, when they returned to their temporary hideout, he finally spoke, "Is your mouth dry?"
Little Harvey: "..."
Ahhh, so infuriating! Dad was going to infuriate him to death!
Little Harvey was about to explode. He felt that his father was completely unreliable. Rescuing Mommy had to be his own responsibility!
He would definitely formulate a detailed and thorough plan, and then find a suitable opportunity to snatch Mommy away!
He absolutely couldn't leave Mommy to those smelly brats of the Federation!
Were they as smart as him?
Were they as capable as him?
No!
As long as Mommy saw him, she would definitely like him the most. He had to snatch Mommy away!

Insectoid Planet.
Lu Wanqing's communication device was still turned off. She had no idea that Zhong Lifeiyu and the others might have found their direction and were heading this way.
That evening, after drinking their nutrient paste, they started writing and drawing.
The desk was temporarily made by Lu Wanqing using the materials and tools she had stored in her space button for building mechas. Although it was a bit of a waste of materials, in such a confined space, doing nothing and just waiting would be maddening.
With a small desk, she and Xiao Yi could study, which was very good.
They had been studying like this for a day, and time passed much more comfortably. However, that evening, just as they sat down after drinking their nutrient paste, a rumbling sound, like thunder, came from the sky outside again.
Lu Wanqing and Little Zhong Liyi's expressions changed. They immediately became tense.
Lu Wanqing quickly said, "Quick, get into the mecha!"
Lu Wanqing quickly put the desk away into her space button and took out the mecha, entering it with Little Zhong Liyi.
They hid in the cave and observed the outside secretly, just like before. At first, they couldn't see anything, only the faint thunder in the sky. After a while, they indeed saw a large mass of dark objects flying towards them from the distance in the sky. It was a large group of sawfish!
