Hanzo's breath hitched. He had never seen an orc whose eyes could change color. The cub, who was not even as tall as him, had a cold expression, and a suppressed aura emanated from his eyes.

He never imagined that he, a beastman with a sixth-tier beast core and B-level fire-type abilities, would be so frightened by a mere cub that he couldn't speak.

Hanzo blushed, finally freeing himself from his restraints, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

What a strange little cub.

Thinking of his genetic disease, he decided not to anger Wen Ze and told the truth: "I haven't informed your family, but they have never given up on you."

Hanzo has his own informants in both the Empire and the Federation. Xiao Liang and his team are almost able to find out their location, but they are always being thwarted by him.

Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Wen Ze glared at him, but upon hearing the second half, he unconsciously smiled, and the gold in his eyes disappeared.

Hanzo breathed a sigh of relief, unconsciously thinking that this little guy might actually be able to cure his genetic disease.

"Is it because you want to get treatment that you don't want me to leave?" Wen Ze saw through his thoughts and naively told him the truth, "I really can't cure you right now, but if I find a way in the future, I will come back to you."

Seeing Wen Ze's sincere eyes, Han Zuo felt that his dark thoughts had nowhere to hide, but could his illness really wait until that day?

He gave a wry smile, seemingly relieved.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Xiao Liang stayed up for several nights in front of the screen, his eyes bloodshot. Every time he was about to find a clue, it was as if someone had deliberately erased all traces. Even a cold-blooded beastman couldn't resist such provocation.

He decided to stick with this person and eventually managed to track him down to his address.

Xiao Liang blinked, feeling an intense soreness in his eyes. Beside him was a nearly empty eye drop, but he was incredibly excited, his eyes fixed on the shimmering light in the sunken land. Good news! Wen Ze was not dead!

The bad news is that he is in the sunken land.

Xiao Liang scratched his head, and before he could figure anything out, a dialog box suddenly popped up on the screen: "The cub is in my hands."

He widened his eyes. It seemed that there were many talented people in the space pirates. He didn't even know when they had broken through the firewall.

Since it concerned the cubs, he could only patiently ask, "What do you want in order to return the cubs?"

"Medicine." The other party gave a series of coordinates and then logged off. Xiao Liang breathed a sigh of relief. It was better for the space pirates to have something to ask for than nothing.

He immediately told Ling Xiao about this and asked him to collect as many medicines as possible for cubs and disabled orcs.

Wen Ai was the last to know about this. After hearing about it, he rushed into the laboratory. Three days later, he handed over all the medicines he had developed during this period to Ling Xiao. He looked exhausted, as if he had done all his strength, and sat down unsteadily at the door.

He's been so incompetent these days.

Before he fell into a deep sleep, he thought of the cubs in the yard. They were no longer at an age where they knew nothing, and they were very perceptive of his changes. They had been very well-behaved lately.

Xiao Fan... fell even more silent, just like when they first met. Yang Yang and Ali were doing better, but she heard they'd been having nightmares lately; this incident was affecting them too much. Hopefully, Xiao Ze's return would have a positive influence on them.

He drifted off to sleep, half-conscious and half-drowsy. In his dream, Xiaoze, bathed in sunlight, ran towards him and buried her face in his chest...

Tao Er replaced Yue Ling as the customer service representative for the live stream. During this time, many fans were concerned about Wen Ze's whereabouts, and he was responsible for responding to their inquiries.

"Brother Tao'er," Bai Di ran over, the little rabbit's ears sticking up a little above the table, as if greeting him.

"Little Di, what's wrong?" He liked these cubs very much and squatted down to ask her.

"Brother Tao'er, will Xiaoze be able to come back?" she asked cautiously, because every time this topic was brought up, the adults' expressions were very unpleasant, as if she had broken her favorite doll.

"Yes, he will definitely come back." Tao Er had blind confidence in Ling Xiao. With Professor Ling on his side, Xiao Ze would definitely return safely.

Bai Di seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and handed a small gift to Tao Er: "Brother Tao Er, you've worked hard~~ This is a gift for you!"

This is a tiny flower, sealed inside resin, forever preserving its most beautiful vitality. Tao'er wags its tail wildly, revealing a big smile: "Thank you! Little Di."

The cubs presented the adults with all sorts of little gifts, hoping to ease their tense moods. It was impossible not to be moved. They would either smile and pat the cubs' heads or decorate their clothes with the gifts in front of them. These little gifts were like sparks of light, injecting them with boundless strength.

When Wen Ai woke up, he found himself in a plant corner, surrounded by the fragrance of plants. It is said that natural plants are a symbol of pure vitality. Being here, he felt that some of the troubles in his heart had dissipated.

Before I knew it, I was thinking of Wen Ze again.

He sat up slightly, and some leaves fell from his clothes, fluttering and falling in the wind. The rustling of the leaves in the wind gradually calmed his heart. Wen Ai watched, speechless for a long time.

"Teacher Wen," Xiao Fan said, feeling a pang of sadness seeing Wen Ai like this.

If anyone is to blame, it should be him.

If he hadn't been searching for his family, Xiaoze wouldn't have wanted to go with him, and they wouldn't have boarded that flight and encountered the space pirates.

If he hadn't failed to grab Ozawa's hand, Ozawa wouldn't be on the starship...

When Wen Ai saw the self-blame and guilt in Leng Fan's eyes, she knew he was getting stuck on something: "Xiao Fan, this isn't your fault."

“But, if I had…” Xiao Fan lowered his head, his voice trembling slightly. Wen Ai gently patted his shoulder, “Fate can be very cruel sometimes. All we can do now is face it positively.”

Xiao Fan slowly raised her head, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes, "Will Xiao Ze come back?"

"Yes, he's fine. The dean has already found him a place." Wen Ai smiled and patted his head, feeling very guilty.

He was the one who caused this unexpected disaster...

Upon hearing the news of the space pirates, Wan En happily went to Lan Yue to claim credit.

Lan Yue had been keeping a close eye on the orphanage's activities. Although Wen Ai tried his best to hide it, his loneliness and sadness still emanated from him.

This made her very happy.

That's right, there's no point in killing him. Doesn't he care about those brats? Let him taste the bitterness of life and death!

When Lan Yue heard that Wan En had come to visit, a hint of impatience flashed in her beautiful eyes. She was going to marry into an upper-class noble family, so how could she always hang out with someone who couldn't inherit a title?

This will affect her reputation.

Lan Yue gave Wan En a few perfunctory words and sent him away. She then began searching for her prey again.
