Transmigrating into a novel and becoming a beloved figure in interstellar space, this gentle yet arr

Faced with Lan Mingsheng's enthusiasm, Old Meng calmly extended his hand to refuse.

"Your Majesty, although I have been away for many years, I am not so poor that I have no savings at all."

Killing insects is also a very profitable business. Many interstellar research institutes will buy insect corpses from the battlefield at high prices in order to develop weapons to deal with the insect race. The higher the level of the insect, the higher the value.

At the time, he was only focused on killing the insects and never cared about what to do with their corpses. As a result, he missed out on a lot of star coins. However, the Human Community Alliance had set up a reward mechanism. The person who killed the most insects would receive a reward every year. They would simply notify the person and then the money would be deposited directly into their account.

Everyone's mental strength is different, and the marks left on the Zerg corpses are also completely different, so there's no need to worry about anyone picking up the scraps.

He was always number one on the list, and the annual bonuses alone would be more than enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life. Moreover, he was a meritorious general of the Silver Moon Empire, and every year the Empire's Ministry of Finance would allocate a portion of funds specifically for the retirement of heroes.

He never thought about making money, but his savings kept increasing. Although his assets are not as good as before, he is not struggling financially.

"There's no need for you to go through all that trouble. You can be this little girl's bodyguard, and the Jin family will take care of everything. We won't let you, Elder Meng, have wasted your time."

The two chatted for a while longer, and then Lan Mingsheng personally led him to the children's residence, which was next to Jin Wuyou and Jin Yiling's house. Now there was another house, which was arranged for Old Master Meng.

After confirming that neither of them had any questions, Lan Mingsheng went back to work, leaving Jin Wuyou and Elder Meng to spend time together on their own.

When the other children in the area saw a stern old man with a violent aura return with Jin Wuyou, they all became reserved.

"Grandpa Meng, hello." Lan Xicheng immediately adopted the dignified and composed demeanor befitting a prince, standing up to greet Grandpa Meng.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Old Meng greeted him stiffly.

Fortunately, the awkward scene didn't last long. Jin Zhengqing and Jin Hanxi arrived soon and pulled Old Meng away, giving them room to talk.

"Wuyou, will Grandpa Meng be your bodyguard from now on?" Lan Xiyu asked curiously.

Jin Wuyou nodded honestly, still feeling nothing, but Lan Xiyu's face immediately turned sad.

“That’s an elder of the grandfather’s generation. If he follows us around every day, we’ll have to pretend to be a good child all the time.”

Lan Xiyu shuddered. She couldn't do it. She could pretend for a while, but if she kept pretending, she would become depressed. If she had an elder like that as her bodyguard, she would definitely be complained about every day.

Lan Xiyu could never have imagined that even without such a bodyguard, she would still be sued every day.

"Sister, what are you worried about? It's impossible for them to arrange a bodyguard like that for you. Wuyou isn't like you at all..." Lan Xiping was punched by Lan Xiyu and shut up, automatically stopping his words.

The other three were used to seeing the siblings playing around.

The group sat in the courtyard, eating snacks and chatting.

As darkness fell, Jin Zhengqing, Jin Yiling, and Meng Lao emerged from the other side.

Upon seeing the children, Jin Zhengqing began waving from afar.

"Wuyou, Yiling, let's go home."

Jin Wuyou and Jin Yiling exchanged puzzled glances; they had thought they would be staying in the palace for a long time.

"No need to pack anything. This is where you'll be staying from now on. Everything will be prepared for you on Nuting Star." Jin Hanxi picked up Jin Wuyou and gestured for Jin Yiling to follow. The group then headed towards the place where the spaceship was parked.

"Grandpas, Uncle, does my dad know you're leaving? Why don't you wait a bit, and let my dad and grandpa see you off?" Lan Xicheng quickly stopped them, a forced, official smile on his face.

"Haha, it's the same if His Highness the Crown Prince sees us off. Nu Ting Star and Huang Du Star aren't far apart, it's just a matter of a few hours. There's no need for His Majesty and the former Emperor to see us off." Jin Zhengqing understood what he meant; he was just teasing the child.

Lan Xicheng kept trying, but Jin Zhengqing and Jin Hanxi wouldn't have any of it and took Jin Wuyou with them on the spaceship home.

"Goodbye, brother." Lan Xiyu followed without hesitation. Her guard captain was stunned and immediately ordered the team to board the spaceship and prepare to depart.

On the Jin family's spaceship, Jin Zhengqing and Elder Meng took their seats, and Jin Hanxi put Jin Wuyou down so she could play on the side.

Lan Mingyue was already waiting on the spaceship, having thoughtfully prepared a variety of snacks and treats.

Once aboard the Jin family's spaceship, Lan Xiyu didn't feel anything was amiss and even casually joined in the conversation with the elders.

"Your Highness, would you like to come with us? Should we inform His Majesty and the Empress?" Jin Zhengqing and Elder Meng looked at Lan Xiyu, who was sitting calmly, with eyes full of doubt.

"No need, no need, someone will inform them. Grandpa Jin, Grandpa Meng, you won't mind me, right?" Lan Xiyu was not at all reserved, and even chatted with the two of them back and forth, with Lan Xiyu doing most of the talking.

"Grandpa Meng, you've met my maternal grandfather, right? Do I look like him? I also want to be a hero like him, guarding the frontier."

The two old men had been dazed by her endless chatter the whole way, but her question brought them back to reality.

“Your maternal grandfather, Ju Xiangxun… it seems you only have a blood relationship with him; you’re more like your father.” They’re both equally shameless and talkative.

Old Master Meng didn't say what came next, but everyone present understood.

Lan Xiyu's expression froze slightly.

Is this a compliment or a criticism of her father? If it's a compliment... well, her father's behavior in private... so it's not a compliment... after all, her father was an emperor.

She thought she resembled her maternal grandfather, since her bloodline power came from her maternal grandfather's side.

"Xiyu, go play with Wuyou and the others. Don't bother the two old people here."

Lan Mingyue finally spoke up to send Lan Xiyu away. She could tell that the two elders were not so comfortable being with the younger generation. Lan Xiyu might feel awkward at first, but she was naturally outgoing and only needed a short while to adjust her mindset and talk to the two of them without any discomfort.

Jin Wuyou waved to Lan Xiyu, admiring her ability to chat fluently with anyone.

Lan Xiyu didn't care about the conversation at all and immediately started playing with Jin Wuyou and Jin Yiling.

Two or three hours later, the spaceship arrived at Nuting Star, and Jin Wuyou and Lan Xiyu disembarked hand in hand.

The elders went inside to talk, and the children went back to their own rooms.

Lan Xiyu followed Jin Yiling and Jin Wuyou to their home.

I never expected to be pleasantly surprised as soon as I entered the door.

The three walked and talked, not paying attention to the ground. Jin Wuyou took a step forward and stepped on something. Immediately, something mysterious bounced up in the darkness and hit Lan Xiyu, who was beside her.

Jin Yiling reacted quickly and pulled her away. The thing didn't hit Lan Xiyu's face, but it still hit her foot with a bang.

Lan Xiyu's scream immediately rang out in the darkness.

The sound turned on all the lights in the yard, allowing them to see what was on the ground.
