The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 230: Don’t Let Him Cry

"There’s one more thing," Lin Tianxian pulled back her drifting thoughts. "If your spiritual power is A-level now, drink less nutrient solution."

"Be careful of entering the Ancestral Stage."

Spiritual power users above B-level need to worry about the Ancestral Stage, not to mention Su Ruan is now A-level.

Entering the Ancestral Stage is just a matter of time, but if she can eat natural fruits and vegetables daily and drink less nutrient solution, it should delay the onset of the Ancestral Stage.

Su Ruan thanked him, then left Lin Tianxian’s office.

Soon after she walked out, she encountered Qi Chen.

This person originally from the First Legion had actually appeared in the Third Legion.

Upon seeing her, Qi Chen was not surprised at all; instead, he proactively invited her, "Would you like to join me in looking for Commander Lu? I’d like to have a chat with you both."

Su Ruan assessed Qi Chen, trying to gauge his thoughts.

But Qi Chen maintained a standardized smile on his face, showing no discernible emotion.

"I have other matters," she politely declined.

"Aren’t you curious?" Qi Chen smiled, "About why I’m looking for Commander Lu."

He took a step forward, lowered his head, leaned close to Su Ruan’s ear, and spoke two words.

"Da Hu."

Su Ruan’s pupils contracted.

"Coincidentally, I have something to discuss with him as well. Let’s go together then." Su Ruan took the lead, striding towards the commander’s office.

Qi Chen followed her.

Ten minutes later, in Lu Shinian’s office, the door was locked from inside.

Su Ruan and Lu Shinian sat on one side of the sofa, Qi Chen sat on the opposite side.

Qi Chen requested their help and directly stated, "Da Hu is Lei Lanhu, right?"

Despite posing it as a question, his tone was assertive.

Su Ruan glanced at Lu Shinian, tugging at his sleeve.

Lu Shinian reversed his grip to hold her small hand, smiling slyly, "Does it matter whether it is or isn’t?"

Qi Chen’s face bore a sincere smile, "Commander Lu, Lei Lanhu is very important to me."

He knew Lu Shinian had his reservations.

Back then, Lu Shinian faced opposition and took the matter of complete beastification onto himself, barely maintaining surface peace.

But if any complete beastification were involved in harming incidents, Lu Shinian would surely face attack from the other three Great Armies.

Though Lu Shinian was well-regarded among the interstellar citizens, if such incidents occurred, suspicions would rise, and those former admirations would turn into sharp tools against Lu Shinian.

The Federation may seem peaceful, but it’s just a scattered pile of sand.

Pitiful and lamentable.

However, this had nothing to do with him; Qi Chen didn’t aspire to be a hero nor a traitor; he only wanted to be with Lei Lanhu, and nothing more.

Qi Chen lowered his head, showing weakness to outsiders for the first time.

"If Commander Lu can restore her Spiritual Sea, then the First Legion will pledge its full loyalty to Commander Lu."

After so many years of fighting among the Four Great Armies, it’s time they merged.

Now is a prime opportunity.

The First Legion is the wealthiest among the Four Great Armies.

Although Lu Shinian also had wealth, the Third Legion required enormous expenses, and lacking good business management talent among his staff, they’ve always struggled financially over the years.

But the First Legion is different.

Qi Chen is an unparalleled genius in business, with the First Legion secretly investing in many industries. Nowadays, the most popular interstellar entertainment company is under Qi Chen’s name.

The monthly profit from the entertainment company alone covers a year’s military expenses of the Third Legion, not to mention other groups managed by Qi Chen.

Qi Chen’s proposal naturally tempted Lu Shinian.

But...

"You should ask the Science Academy if they have any solutions to this matter."

Even though Qi Chen’s proposal was tempting, he didn’t want to expose the uniqueness of Su Ruan’s spiritual power.

Moreover, they couldn’t prove now that Ruan Ruan’s spiritual power could completely restore the Spiritual Sea of a complete beastification.

He was unwilling to take this risk.

Qi Chen understood the rejection, furrowing his brows and clasping his hands together, showing some dejection.

"Commander Lu, the Science Academy has been researching for so many years but has never made any progress."

"The answer I get from the Science Academy will always be the same."

He no longer pinned his hopes on the Science Academy.

"I thought I’d never see her again, that she would slowly forget me somewhere."

"To be honest, I’ve already decided."

"I will resign from my position as Finance Officer in two years and go there to find her."

"My life turned gray after losing her, and when I knew she was completely beastified, I even wanted to destroy the world."

"But in that apple, I saw hope."

Qi Chen looked hopefully at Lu Shinian, "That’s hope, isn’t it?"

The apple is undoubtedly special.

But he bought all the apples on the market and even sent people to Lu Shinian’s agricultural star to pick a few apples, testing them repeatedly, only to get the same answer.

No special properties.

Except for the apples personally obtained from Lu Shinian, only they were special.

Worried that Lu Shinian wouldn’t agree, Qi Chen added, "Maybe the method isn’t ready for widespread use, or perhaps you have other concerns."

"But I promise, if you help me, I will absolutely not disclose this to anyone."

He didn’t care about others; their life or death was irrelevant to him.

He only cared about Lei Lanhu, and to restore her to normal, he was willing to pay any price.

Lu Shinian didn’t relent and refused Qi Chen coldly.

Qi Chen lowered his head heavily, revealing a hint of despair.

At that moment, the door suddenly knocked, and Vice Wang’s voice came from outside.

"Commander, Da Hu has run over."

Qi Chen was startled, quickly stood up, and swiftly walked to the door, opening it.

In the next second, he was tackled to the ground by Da Hu.

Da Hu’s furry paw pressed on Qi Chen’s shoulder, the tiger’s face serious.

Vice Wang silently closed the door, pretending not to have seen anything.

The First Legion’s finance officer being tackled by a tiger might be a bit embarrassing if spread.

In the office, Qi Chen wasn’t angry about being pinned by Da Hu; instead, he laughed, saying, "Did Tiger come over to see me?"

Although smiling, there were tears in his eyes.

Da Hu lowered his head, nudging Qi Chen, then released him. With a few leaps, he ran to Su Ruan’s feet, rubbed against her leg, and looked up at her with a hint of desire.

Su Ruan squatted down, rubbing Da Hu’s head, just about to speak when suddenly a mature woman’s voice echoed in her mind.

[Tell... him... not... to... cry]

Spoken hesitantly, yet very firmly.

Su Ruan suddenly raised her head and looked at Lu Shinian, "Did you hear her speak?"
