Interstellar travel, a beloved companion, a magnificent and turbulent otherworld.

After Mo Li woke up and washed up, she went to the living room on the first floor and saw Ye Zixuan and Dongfang Yu walking in from outside. Curious about what the two of them had been doing, she asked, "What are you two doing here?"

Ye Zixuan quickly stepped forward and carefully helped her to the dining table to sit down. Dongfang Yu had already arranged for the chef to bring over the breakfast that had been prepared in advance and kept warm.

"Ali, you're so popular right now! People living on the capital planet are taking advantage of their proximity to us to come and give us gifts and visit you!"

Do you know what they're all cheering for you to do? And you didn't see how disappointed they were at not seeing you! Hmph, more and more people are trying to take you away from us, Ali. Tell me, won't it be long before we're all just yesterday's flowers?

To her surprise, when Ye Zixuan said his last sentence, both he and Dongfang Yu looked at her, which confused her. She glared at him and flicked his forehead.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by 'yesterday's flowers'? I'm a weak and helpless pregnant woman right now, where would I get such frivolous thoughts?"

Besides, look at yourself, I don't look like a "bad girl" at all. I've already had five, and I'm not made of steel. I can't take any more abuse. You should just stop having all that ridiculous speculation in your head.

What Mo Li didn't notice was that after hearing her words, the two people beside her secretly breathed a sigh of relief, their clenched fists hanging at their sides relaxed, and their gazes toward her were filled with tenderness.

Ye Zixuan chuckled, scooped a spoonful of porridge, blew on it before feeding it to her.

“Come on, Ali, have some porridge. Hehe, just pretend I didn’t hear what I just said. I told you you’re not that kind of person. You would never start something and then abandon it, or be fickle and fickle.”

"Hehe, I wonder who was that just now..."

Before she could finish speaking, a perfectly warm bowl of donkey-hide gelatin and bird's nest porridge was fed into her mouth.

Dongfang Yu glanced at Ye Zixuan with a hint of displeasure, then took the bowl of porridge from his hand.

"I'll do it. You go and clean and disinfect those gifts outside and put them in the warehouse."

"I didn't expect the netizens on Xingwang to be so enthusiastic. I'm still a little unaccustomed to it."

"It's okay, Ali will gradually adapt. You are the dawn that the entire galaxy has been waiting for for thousands of years, and you are a precious treasure that needs to be cherished!"

This is just the beginning. Afterwards, many parties will pay attention to you and offer various forms of care. Just accept it; this is what you deserve. Compared to your contributions to the future of interstellar space, everything else is merely a glimmer of light.

Upon hearing this, Mo Li nodded frankly: "Yes, I understand. It's just that there are some things that will require A Yu's help, since my body is really not performing well right now."

Dongfang Yu's gentle gaze fell on her lower abdomen: "You are incredibly great for nurturing them."

Mo Li did not refute this. Not only her, but all mothers who give birth to new life are very great and deserve the highest respect and meticulous care.

“Ali, you’re the one who’s working the hardest. There’s still almost a month and a half until the hottest summer, and you’ll have to work even harder.”

"What preparations do we need to make for the arrival of summer?"

"Every year before summer arrives, the men of the empire would travel to other planets with gathering teams and the official army to collect essential items to cool off and relieve the heat."

"Essential items? Ice crystals?"

"Yes, besides ice crystals, there are also ice trees. Ice tree crystals are crystals formed from condensed resin, and ice crystals are condensed forms of the ice tree core. In addition, there are ice crystal marrow."

As for the other two types, they are extremely rare and difficult to obtain, except for those treasured in the first tier of families and the royal treasury.

Mo Li's curiosity was piqued upon hearing this. Rare treasures were something she liked, so she pressed for an answer:

Tell me which two.

Dongfang Yu saw the light in her eyes that she herself was unaware of, smiled faintly, and replied gently, "Ice Crystal Flower and Snow Lotus."

"It's these two kinds, huh? How rare are they?"

Dongfang Yu patiently explained to her: "The reason why Ice Crystal Flowers and Snow Lotuses are so rare is because they are extremely rare. The planets where they grow are covered in snow all year round, with glaciers that have never melted for thousands of years, and the temperature is unpredictable. The temperature keeps dropping sharply after people step into the planet."

Unknown risks lurk everywhere; avalanches are commonplace, and almost everyone who ventures there dies. Those who manage to collect ice crystal flowers or snow lotuses and return are nothing short of miracles.

"Is that so?"

"Yes, and because they have extremely demanding requirements for their growing environment, ice crystal flowers must grow in underground ice caves that are thousands of years old. The ice caves must contain ice pillars, ice curtains, ice waterfalls, ice flowers, etc."

Only when these elements combine to create a beautiful and dreamlike spectacle can the most beautiful ice crystal flowers bloom. The snow lotus, on the other hand, grows atop snow-capped mountains where snow falls for millennia.

"It's really not easy to get them."

"That's true. Even if you're lucky enough to pick them, they require a more specific container. If you're not careful, they'll turn into a puddle of ice water or snow water."

"Heh, that's quite unique."

"Given Ali's current condition, if she wants to comfortably and peacefully get through this scorching summer, the best choice is undoubtedly the Ice Crystal Flower and the Snow Lotus. Moreover, the Snow Lotus blooms every thousand years and produces snow lotus seeds every ten thousand years, and the Ice Lotus Root is an excellent tonic for pregnant women."

Not only does it nourish your body, but it also helps to nurture the fetus, stimulating its spiritual power and even supernatural abilities. Furthermore, the baby will be born with exquisitely beautiful features.

Upon hearing this, Mo Li thought that if the ice lotus root could have such good effects, then the snow lotus seeds formed over ten thousand years must have extraordinary effects: "What about the snow lotus seeds?"

"Snow lotus seeds are an excellent tonic, with even better effects than lotus root. They can also bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded. In addition, they can enhance mental strength and superpowers, and even repair genetic damage."

"This is comparable to my Nine-Turn Great Rejuvenation Pill, and it doesn't have any side effects. Not bad, not bad at all!"

Mo Li already had the idea of ​​obtaining it, her eyes flashing as she smiled and said:

Is their harvesting seasonal?

"No, the Ice Crystal Flower and Snow Lotus Seed bloom year-round, and once the Snow Lotus Seeds are formed, they will not automatically detach from the flower's pistil unless picked by human intervention."

The effects of frozen lotus root increase with age, and it also becomes more translucent and crystalline.

"It seems we need to prepare for the arrival of summer."

"Yes, it's getting late now. In previous years, we started two months in advance. Ali, you don't need to worry about these things. Just leave them to me."
