Chapter 679: Chapter 683 Interstellar Heartthrob (Part 2)

Indeed, this young lady stayed on this garbage star for a while because of a special condition of her body.

She had given birth to her only biological daughter, Su Xun.

However, the relationship between the two of them, aside from each other, was unknown to anyone.

Just like nobody knew her female identity.

The people of the garbage star were completely unaware that the person shouldering all their burdens was in fact a frail and slender woman.

Instead, their complaints only grew.

Complaining about the harsh living environment here, the scarcity of supplies, in short, there were endless grievances.

Even the gradually maturing Su Xun was affected and grew to detest the place.

She didn’t understand why her own kin, who was clearly her mother, always made her call her Daddy, leading everyone to mistake her as a little boy who’d been adopted.

Nor did she understand why other little girls in the Light Computer lived in such a beautiful world, while all she saw every day was yellow sand and desert.

She hated everything about this place and couldn’t wait to escape.

One day, Su Xun snuck onto a garbage dump ship, trying to hide on it to leave, but was caught and nearly sold off as private property.

If it weren’t for "Su Li" noticing in time, her little daughter would have become a lowly commodity.

Su Xun never understood that her mother dressed her as a boy to protect her from harm; the outer world seemed to be more stringent and cruel towards a woman’s natural identity.

There were some things she did not want her daughter to suffer through again.

Only when she possessed great power and took control of all the initiative could she have the right to speak of freedom.

But her daughter apparently didn’t understand her painstaking efforts.

With the rebellious phase kicking in, the young girl became increasingly obstinate, and this same incident carelessly happened several more times.

Once, the spaceship had already left the Star Domain, but she had to chase it down alone in an old personal Airship, the cost of which is left unsaid.

Over and over, "Su Li" was completely drained.

In the end, she only asked one question, "Do you really want to leave this place, even if it means cutting mother-daughter ties?"

Su Xun didn’t hesitate, nodding her head.

"Su Li’s" fiery heart gradually cooled, as if doused with a bucket of ice water, penetratingly cold.

Genetics are indeed an interesting and strange thing; some people, despite never having spent a second together, are connected by this very essence.

At that moment, Su Xun bore a striking resemblance to someone the original owner deeply despised.

Even an inherent maternal instinct couldn’t stop this pain, especially since this daughter she’d cherished had truly broken her heart.

If she couldn’t be stopped, then just let her go.

"Su Li" spared no expense to secure a new identity for Su Xun, completely altering her appearance, and sent her away.

Even though she used her own private funds, in the eyes of the malicious, it became an egregious sin.

Of course, at that time, "Su Li" was still unaware of this, only realizing the early seeds of disaster had been sown when reflecting on the subsequent events that unfolded.

After experiencing her daughter’s "betrayal," the Merit Master had yet to come to terms with it when a new catastrophe struck unexpectedly.

Snow Mine Star was reported.

The Federation Interstellar decided to send people to eliminate bandits.

Of course, the real situation was not such; rather, this garbage star, which had long been depleted of resources, was discovered to have a region deep underground with a useful new metal.

This piqued the Federation’s interest, and the so-called bandit extermination was merely a pretext.

But the people of the garbage star all took it as the truth and laid all the blame on the Lord.

They seemed to have forgotten that if it weren’t for the need to feed them, their Lord would never have done such a thing.

Everyone knew that on some small asteroids, if you encountered a brutal Lord, the life of those living on that planet would be unbearably harsh.

Yet the Lord of this planet not only didn’t enslave them but also thought of them at every turn.

But they all chose to forget that it was they who had begged on their knees for "Lord Su" to save them.

When the Federation’s people arrived, the Lord of the planet was the last to know.

It was only when the planet’s elders brought the outsiders before her that she understood, after her stepdaughter’s betrayal, she had been betrayed again by those she had strived to support.

Su Li listened to this somewhat tragic story, curled her lip, and spoke disinterestedly, "It’s not that tragic...."

She had even harsher words that she didn’t say, stopping just short, stopping just short, after all, this lady’s heart was truly pure to the extreme.

She was truly earnest in doing good; it was just that the outcomes weren’t very good.

They say that good people don’t live long and calamities last a thousand years, which proves this saying to be very correct.

As for the unpleasant words that sprang from Su Li’s mouth, the Merit Master merely smiled faintly, not minding at all, instead speaking kindly and gently, "What you said is right, it was all my choice."

"So I don’t blame them, I only blame myself for being too softhearted. If I were just a little more selfish, my life’s circumstances would have been completely different from the very beginning."

"But such is the real me, a person’s life experiences shape who they become, and if I can’t even recognize myself, then what purpose does existence have?"

"I simply did what I felt was the most correct thing to do, and they also made the choices they thought were most correct, different positions.... I don’t blame anyone."

It was just a little disheartening, that’s all.

The latter words, Su Li silently said on her behalf.

"I know you’re capable, and you don’t need to do much, just be yourself. I just wanted to see that there were many other different choices I could have made in my life."

The Merit Master neither mentioned hatred nor resentment for those she once protected, but instead simply ignored them.

That was the true Realm of not caring.

"Alright.... Watch closely now...."

Su Li acted cheekily for a bit.

----------

When Su Li opened her eyes again, she was lying in an eggshell with a purely white metallic postmodern design.

Eggshell?

Yes, an eggshell, and furthermore, a seamless one.

There was an enormous display screen on one of the metal walls, through which she could observe the outside conditions.

Su Li slowly got up and walked over to the display screen, taking a close look.

The situation outside was indeed extremely dire.

The air, the water resources, all heavily polluted; no wonder they had to steal, rob, and deceive just to get a tiny bit of supplies for survival.

Looking at the screen, Su Li’s gaze flicked to the lower-right corner of the display.

Today’s date was the third, three days had passed since her young daughter had been sent away, and the original owner had not yet fully recovered from the disappointment.

So much so that just a second before Su Li arrived, she had still been brooding on a cushion.

However, the Lord’s responsibilities only allowed her a brief indulgence in her own world; gathering her spirits, there was still a large group of people waiting behind her, needing her to take charge.

It’s just a pity that these were the thoughts of the previous original owner, not Su Li’s.
