Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 668: The Punishment of the Star Thief Leader
Lucifer was already of age and had experienced many things, committing no small number of misdeeds.
He even had his fair share of women.
Yet, he still looked to be in his thirties, with peach blossom eyes and a charming appearance, mischief gleaming in his gaze.
But the moment he connected with Julia’s communication, his usually sinister and frivolous eyes became incredibly tender.
"What made you suddenly decide to call me?"
"Lucifer, Vivian is sick again! Didn’t you say that she wouldn’t get sick anymore after she turned fifteen?"
"Don’t panic, just tell me slowly, what exactly happened?"
"It’s the same as before with Vivian; she faints out of the blue, and then, no problems can be found! Lucifer, what should we do?"
In her earlier years, Julia had loved the wrong person, then her planet was destroyed, and her family members fled or perished. Afterwards, she met Lucifer.
Similarly, Lucifer couldn’t spend all his time with her, and when they had Vivian, Julia took her daughter and, after much moving around, settled on the very safe Landis Star, starting an ordinary life.
But who could have expected?
Even though Vivian was a Beastman, she turned out to be weaker than the average Beastman. Julia initially thought it was because her daughter was a rabbit-type Beastman, given that most of this type were not very strong, just like herself.
But it wasn’t until one day, her young daughter suddenly fainted and was rushed to the hospital, only to find nothing wrong.
The girl’s physical condition was entirely healthy, and even though her spiritual power was somewhat weak, that wasn’t what caused her fainting.
It happened repeatedly.
Watching her well-behaved daughter lose a lot of weight, Julia was distraught.
At her wit’s end, she happened to see Moran and through him, got back in touch with Lucifer.
"Years ago, I repeatedly traveled through time and space, hurting my body, and then I killed too many people... The doctors had checked me and said that I would never have offspring,"
These were Lucifer’s own words.
Later, Julia gave birth to Lucifer’s daughter, a Beastman with weak spiritual power, a very pretty and adorable little girl.
Lucifer’s once indifferent heart began to soften.
Though she wasn’t a very strong Beastman, Lucifer was still very happy.
This happiness lasted until the daughter turned five, when she fell ill for the first time.
Moran hesitated for a while before finally saying, "If there is nothing wrong with her body, then it must be that her soul is too weak or... incomplete."
If it were a physical issue, they could find the best doctors, and many complex diseases now could be treated with medical pods.
But if it was a matter of soul damage...
Fortunately, after that incident, Vivian got better again, and Moran also said that once the child reached fifteen, there should be no more problems.
Because by then, her soul would have stabilized quite a bit.
Listening to the distressed Julia over the communication, Lucifer wished he could fly to her immediately... Not that he couldn’t, since he had heard that Gu Jue was not currently on Landis Star!
"Julie, don’t panic. Take Vivian back home, I’m coming to see you right away!"
"Can you come over now?"
"I can, wait for me!"
Actually, the defenses of Landis Star had advanced beyond those of earlier times and, as the Universe’s most wanted criminal, Lucifer’s data was already placed at the scanning entrance of ports on every planet.
Especially on Landis Star, it was actually very difficult for him to go there.
Not to mention, although Gu Jue was not on the planet, Gu Chen was still there!
But Lucifer couldn’t wait any longer.
Just as he was about to set off, he saw his sister Moran who had just returned.
Moran, having learned the details of the situation, said, "Brother, you shouldn’t go, you will be discovered. I’ll go... and get both sister-in-law and Vivian out of there."
"Do you have a way to save Vivian?"
"I... might have one."
Lucifer had always thought that it was because he had done too many bad things, that such unfortunate fates had befallen his daughter.
If there was a way to cure his daughter’s illness,
he would do anything!

The war within the Universe continued.
Due to a mutual understanding between all parties, this time the battlefield was chosen near a deserted planet on the edge of the Universe.
That way, no matter how intense the fighting was, it would not harm the residents of their respective planets.
Currently, it seemed that the Alliance Army of Landis Star and the Insect God held a higher chance of winning.
Compared to the noisy battlefield, life was peaceful on the native planet of Landis Star, where young children with books in hand, basked in the sunlight on their way to class.
Gu Yan sat in the classroom, turned her head and looked at the seat that had been empty for several days.
Finally, she couldn’t hold back anymore, and during the break, she went to find the teacher Delvin’s office.
"Teacher, I want to ask, did Vivian take sick leave?"
Delvin was a man who appeared to be in his fifties, with a kind face. He nodded and said, "Yes, because Vivian was not feeling well, then her mother came to school and arranged for her to take a leave of absence."
"What, a leave of absence?"
Gu Yan walked out of the teacher’s office, dazed. She picked up her lightbrain, hesitated for a few seconds, and then made a call.
Xiaofu softly said, "Master, this number is unreachable, the other party must have turned off their lightbrain."
They generally would not turn off their own lightbrain because it was connected to many things.
If the lightbrain was turned off, one possibility was that the lightbrain was broken... but most people wouldn’t let their lightbrains stay broken for long.
They would quickly get it repaired or simply replace it with a new one.
The other possibility was that Vivian’s lightbrain had been forcefully shut down.
Whichever possibility it was, it made Gu Yan very anxious. She impulsively thought about rushing to Vivian’s home, but then decided to first seek out her brother Gu Yu.
Gu Yu was supposed to have classes in the afternoon, but upon hearing his sister’s words, he left school with her without a second word.
"There haven’t been any results from the research these past few days, and I even sought out Uncle Qingyu. Under these circumstances, it’s possible that Vivian’s condition has worsened."
"I hope it’s just Aunt Julie wanting her to rest at home for some time. As for the lightbrain, maybe it just happened to break and there was no time to fix it."
Gu Yu looked at his sister but did not say that this possibility was actually quite slim.
The siblings hurried to Vivian’s apartment only to find that when they rang the doorbell for a long time, no one came to open the door.
It was a passing neighbor who curiously looked at the brother and sister.
"You two look very familiar."
Gu Yan immediately said, "Auntie, do you know where Vivian and her mother, Aunt Julie, who live here, have gone? I’m Vivian’s classmate."
"Oh, you seem to have been to her home before. I remember now. You’re looking for them, eh? They left three days ago."
Gu Yan’s eyes widened in shock, "Where did they go?"
