Chapter 28
Too Much
When Zhou Ling heard this, he quickly took out the artificial intelligence system.
After being watered from both sides of the Blue Planet Sea Lake, his artificial intelligence was basically useless now, but there were still recorded images of his trusted aides in it. Once it was repaired, the truth could be revealed to the public. That was why he tried his best to keep it. He didn’t expect it to still have some communication functions.
“Boss, can you hear us?”
The voice on the AI was intermittent and there was a lot of static, but Zhou Ling still tried hard to listen.
“The team that was supposed to save us was ambushed and couldn’t arrive. Where are you now? We’ll come find you.”
The support team was ambushed?
Zhou Ling was shocked.
“You don’t have to come over now. Let’s meet up on Venus after we’re out of danger.”
Zhou Ling tried to speak, but what he let out was a series of meows.
Damn it!
“Boss, are you there? Is there a cat with you?”
The voice on the other end sounded anxious. As soon as he finished speaking, the AI made another ear-piercing sound and fell silent.
Zhou Ling’s cat claws grabbed the cushion. Seeing the scratch on it, he let go in shock.
He almost lost control of his emotions, but at this time, he needed to calm down. He couldn’t lose his composure.
It had been five years.
He had never given up on finding clues about his brother and sister-in-law.
The day before Liao Ning saved him, he was about to return to the interstellar capital after completing his mission when he received a clue about his brother and sister-in-law’s appearance on the Blue Planet.
Unexpectedly, he was ambushed as soon as he got off the spaceship.
He and his buddies had risked their lives to escape, but they encountered a storm on the way and he accidentally fell into the lake, losing contact with the others.
When he woke up, he realized that he couldn’t maintain his human form with his remaining mental strength.
He had met Liao Ning not long ago on a mission.
In order to combat the military camp’s lost petrel, he had temporarily stayed in a hunter family on Planet Mu 007 and noticed her at a banquet.
With white hair, blue eyes, and an Oriental face, she was like a fairy that had emerged from a painting, differentiating her from the surrounding hunters.
At first, he thought that Liao Ning was a mentor hired by the hunters for the children.
That was until the day they crusaded against the giant beast and when a child disappeared from Hunter Town. A hunter and five children went missing and were suspected to have been taken away by the giant beast.
Zhou Ling sent a team to look for them.
Unexpectedly, he found traces of a missing person at the foot of a cliff first.
The missing hunter that the people in town were talking about was actually Liao Ning.
At that time, her gaze was determined and she held a dagger in her hand. She no longer had the weak aura from before.
In order to protect the child hiding in the tree hole, she faced an S-rank dangerous beast that was more than ten times stronger than her – the petrel.
Even after it was domesticated, very few people could tame such a huge beast, let alone Liao Ning.
Zhou Ling immediately transformed into his beast form and turned into a white tiger. Then, he bit off the wings that the petrel was so proud of and saved Liao Ning and the children.
At that time, Liao Ning had even smoothed his fur while he was in his beast form. It was very comforting and reminded him briefly of the good times when his brother and sister-in-law were still around.
Zhou Ling thought that they would never see each other again.
Unexpectedly, Liao Ning had become his savior in just a week. Moreover, Zhou Ling didn’t seem to recognize him.
Zhou Ling still felt a dull pain in his lower body.
If others found out that he had been pressed down by a woman and forcibly given a shower by her, he would be totally embarrassed.
As expected, there was a price to pay for gluttony, but Liao Ning’s food was too delicious, so he couldn’t refuse and didn’t want to leave just like that.
At this moment, Liao Ning also came downstairs after washing up and asked Liao Nai, “Are you hungry? You only ate some pancakes just now.”
Upon the mention of food, Zhou Ling’s ears twitched again.
No, he had to be more reserved!
That woman had bullied him just now.
“I’m not hungry. Thank you, Aunt,” Liao Nai said truthfully.
What was the child talking about?
Zhou Ling climbed out of his nest and narrowed his eyes.
Liao Nai instantly felt a hostile gaze from behind him.
After Liao Nai turned around and met Zhou Ling’s eyes, the white cat crawled back into the nest.
“That’s all I’m gonna say. Are you going to help or not?”
