Chapter 382: Chapter 368: What Are You After?

Lu Yun said to everyone with a gentle expression, "You can stay here at ease, but remember not to casually damage the environment. You can cut down some trees appropriately for building houses, but after cutting, you need to replant them.

After some time, I’ll move some of the Plant Clan people over to teach you planting. When you’re free, you can also grow some grains, vegetables, fruits, and such as a supplement."

Lu Yun’s words truly put the Da’er Clan at ease. Yaluo stepped forward with grateful bows, "Master, rest assured, we won’t dare to destroy the environment within the space."

Lu Yun nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this, as she was not worried about them being insincere. In the space, she was the sovereign, and unless she chose to ignore it, she could see nearly everything that happened.

Speaking of trees, she suddenly remembered what she had told Shitou about the agarwood. In her space, while other species might be scarce, plants were abundant, especially trees in the vast forests; she had forgotten about them at the time.

She couldn’t help but laugh, and using lip movements, she said "agarwood" to Shitou.

Shitou was slightly startled and then remembered their previous conversation, which made him laugh as well.

"Were you distracted just now, thinking about something?"

After settling the Da’er Clan people, Lu Yun took Shitou away from the island they would inhabit in the future. With a single thought, they turned invisible and stood on the high clouds, watching the busy Da’er Clan people setting up shipping containers as temporary dwellings from above...

After watching for a while, Lu Yun suddenly remembered there were moments when Shitou was noticeably distracted and zoned out, so she casually asked him.

"Back then, I was wondering if we would make the same choices as that woman if we faced such a disaster," Shitou said while stroking his chin.

"Of course not, regardless of anything else, those are living lives. Apart from life, nothing is too big of a deal, and a solution can always be found. Anyway, I couldn’t initially decide not to save..." Lu Yun expressed her indignation without a second thought.

"--Right, apart from life, nothing is too big of a deal."

Shitou enveloped Lu Yun in his arms, bowed his head, and chuckled softly, his eyes filled with a sense of relief. Xiaoyun was right; apart from life, nothing is too big of a deal. Even if you have to deal with improper people or matters afterward, it’s still better than cruelly giving up on so many lives right then and there.

"Shitou, let’s take a break for ourselves, shall we? Anyway, no one knows how long we’ll be at the bottom of the sea. I want to go to shallower waters to gather more species for the space," Lu Yun proposed eagerly.

"You’re not a child anymore, how come you still think of one thing after another?" Shitou teased her, pinching her nose.

"Just tell me if it’s okay?" Getting called a child, Lu Yun pouted somewhat unhappily. After all, adding up her two lifetimes, she was even older than him, hmph, and she still didn’t know who the real "child" was?

"Okay, of course it’s okay. Gee, I haven’t even said no and you’re already getting angry. If I really dared to refuse, would I get to see a live-action version of the Lion’s Roar..."

Seeing the way Lu Yun looked made Shitou extremely happy, and he seemed even more excited to keep talking.

"Life is so brief, we don’t have time for disputes, apologies, outbursts, or blame, the time is only enough for love, and yet it’s fleeting, which is regrettable."

Lu Yun cut Shitou off seriously and then tugged at his ear as she murmured, "This was said by Mark Twain. So, I’m very sorry, you probably won’t get the chance to see a live-action version of the Lion’s Roar--of course, unless one day you get bold enough to put your paws on some unrelated woman. Then, I might let you get a good glimpse of it."

"I wouldn’t dare, not even if you gave me a hundred guts."

Shitou hurriedly chuckled along, rubbing his face against Lu Yun’s cheek affectionately after saving his ear. "I’m a coward, and I have no interest in facing a lioness’s roar. Let’s just spend all our time together on ’love’."

"I’m getting goose bumps again."

Lu Yun giggled and shrank her neck, pretending to rub her arms.

But who started the sentimental talk first?

Shitou laughed dangerously with narrowed eyes.

Seeing that something was amiss, Lu Yun quickly took his hand and soothed him in a gentle whisper, bombarding him with nice words that cost nothing until he calmed down. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief, took Shitou, and stepped out of the space to return to the place where the Da’er Clan lived before.

"Do we need to take down everything and bring it back? These houses... built out of shells seem such a pity to waste." Lu Yun said somewhat regretfully as she looked at the shell houses in front of her.

"Leave them. That transparent isolation shield still holds a lot of research value. If we took it down, how could we justifiably take out the crew training program and simulation cockpit? But before that, we need to make this place look like it’s been long abandoned," Shitou said, looking around with a smile.

Ding Luoluo stepped into the courtyard with a cheerful heart.

Every day after work, as soon as she got here and thought about seeing her own baby who was growing cuter by the day, babbling and waving her little hands, and smiling sweetly at her, her heart would melt completely.

Today, she came home a bit earlier than usual, and the thought of seeing her child ahead of time made her want to smile. However, as she walked, Ding Luoluo suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked over at the small garden. When she clearly saw what was happening there, her complexion changed dramatically—

"So well-behaved, quickly say ’grandma, grandma’... Look, Xinxin resembles our family’s Junshan, doesn’t she? Ah, and this little nose, just like her auntie, our Tiantian, it’s exactly the same. Here, Xinxin, have another spoonful; this is the fish soup grandma made especially for you."

Liu Mei sat on the stone bench in the small garden, holding Pei Xin on her lap, spoon-feeding her something from a soup bowl on the stone table, all the while cooing affectionately, "Eat a little more so you can grow up smart and quick..."

"Xinxin is really well-behaved. You can’t be like your heartless mother when you grow up. You must take good care of your grandma."

The speaker was Jin Lirong, who sat next to Liu Mei. True to her name, although older now, it was still evident that she was a great beauty in her youth.

Her marital status was somewhat similar to Liu Mei’s, yet not entirely the same. The two got along well in their youth, visiting each other frequently with a good relationship and many common topics. However, she had one little flaw, she loved to gossip and was known for being a big mouth.

"To have such patience with such a small child, seeing you taking care of her every day, what are you really after?"

Actually, Jin Lirong was quite bewildered by Liu Mei, "Only someone as kind-hearted as you would favor someone else’s child over your own, and look how it turned out. With great difficulty, you raised her, but Ding Luoluo is still cold and indifferent towards you."
