The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 381: Taking Photos of the Baby

Lu Zhiya’s face, always carrying a smile, was frozen at this moment.

She could hardly believe what she was hearing.

"Past life," this almost eternally pursued and explored issue of space-time travel by humans, actually existed.

Not only existed, but more importantly, it happened around her.

Lu Zhiya could tell that the Evil Beast wasn’t lying.

After these two days of interaction, she came to understand that this Evil Beast was just a fiercely instinctual beast, acting entirely on its own impulses, without distinguishing between good and evil, and it did not adhere to notions of right or wrong.

Such a simple-minded Evil Beast can be communicated with effectively as long as one masters communication methods.

Lu Zhiya believed the Evil Beast wasn’t lying; it had no need to lie, which meant that past lives truly existed.

And Su Ruan, or perhaps Xiao Nian; in any case, one of them was reborn.

Lu Zhiya felt somewhat complex emotions. She remained silent for a while, listening to the conversation between the Evil Beast and Lingling, and fell into contemplation.

————

Time flew by, and a week passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Ruan spent most of her time with the baby, while Lu Shinian stayed by her side, helping take care of the baby.

Thanks to the advanced medical technology of the Federation, even if she had just given birth, a trip to the treatment pod would make everything fine.

Aside from taking care of the baby, her favorite activity was dragging Lu Shinian to practice combat.

Yes... in the literal sense of the word, combat.

The Empire’s Mechas are completely different from the Federation’s Mechas; they don’t emphasize heavyweight and lightweight Mechas, focusing more on those beast-shaped Mechas, which are said to be based on different species of Companion Beasts.

Thanks to these, Su Ruan experienced various Mechas of different shapes.

There was the wild boar-type Mecha, with the sharp tusk at the forefront being the Mecha’s weapon.

There was also the snake-shaped Mecha, known for its agility and powerful strangling force.

Of course, there was also the cat Mecha, which didn’t pack much power but was incredibly cute. Given that Su Ruan’s Companion Beast was a little black cat, she loved using the cat Mecha to spar with Lu Shinian.

Lu Shinian played along with Su Ruan, casually picking a common model Mecha to practice with her.

While playing, he also collected data on these Empire Mechas, planning to bring them back to the Federation for their Mecha designers to study thoroughly.

Although an Insect Domain currently separated the Empire and Federation, and there seemed to be no possibility for war, who could predict the future?

He was preparing for the future.

The Federation, never to serve another.

During these rather busy days, time slipped away quickly.

Until a week later, Lu Zhiya found Su Ruan and brought up the baby’s matter.

"Ruan Ruan, there are many people who want to see pictures of the baby. Is that alright?"

The news of Su Ruan successfully giving birth had already spread throughout the Empire.

But out of love for the infant, Lu Zhiya hadn’t released the photos or other information, which left the Empire’s citizens longing eagerly.

The desire to see the infant was so intense and uncomfortable, that they could only sit on Lu Zhiya’s homepage every day, pleading to catch a glimpse of a photo, even a side profile would do!

As a good Star Lord, Lu Zhiya naturally wouldn’t ignore the people’s requests, especially since the Empire had long yearned for new life, which was why she asked.

Upon hearing this, Su Ruan glanced at Lu Shinian beside her. Seeing that his expression didn’t change, she said, "It’s possible, but..."

She was aware of the Empire people’s love for the infants, but the baby was still young, and she didn’t want the baby to garner too much attention, so of course, the photos couldn’t show the whole face.

"How about just taking a photo of the back?" Su Ruan asked.

Lu Zhiya replied with a smile, "Of course, that’s okay."

"Just the back is enough."

If Su Ruan hadn’t said so, she would have suggested just taking a photo of a little hand.

Even just a photo of the back was already very considerate.

"I’ll go take it," Su Ruan said as she was about to go take a picture of the baby, but was called by Lu Zhiya the next moment.

"Ruan Ruan, I’ll go with you. I’d like to have a private chat too, is that okay?"

Su Ruan looked at Lu Shinian and then at Lu Zhiya, seeing her earnest expression, and nodded in agreement, "Sure."

Turning her head, she said to Lu Shinian, "Brother Lu, wait for us here. We’ll be back after taking the baby’s picture."

"Okay," Lu Shinian responded quietly, his gaze following Su Ruan’s figure until she disappeared from his sight before he retracted his gaze.

Lu Zhiya followed Su Ruan into the baby’s room, where Su Hanjing was attending to the baby.

Seeing them come in, she smiled and said, "Zhiya, Ruan Ruan, you’re happy to come see the baby."

Su Ruan quickly went over to play with the baby, and after having her mother help hold the baby, she took a picture of the back and sent it to Lu Zhiya.

Though her photography was not the most skilled, for the "parched" Empire citizens, even a blurry view of the infant’s back could satisfy them for a hundred years!

As soon as Lu Zhiya posted the picture, comments exceeded a million in less than a second.

[Wuwuwuwu, the baby is so cute! Mommy cuddle!] 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

[I declare this baby’s back is the cutest in the world! No exceptions!]

[Just asking, does the baby need a godfather? Someone who’s been to military school, fought Exotic Beasts, and can cook delicious food!]

[+1]

[How about a godmother? One who can do everything! (Can learn what I can’t do!)]

......

There was a pile of people wanting to be godparents, and the direction of the comments gradually started to veer off.

While the excitement and revelry belonged to the Empire’s people, in the baby’s room, Lu Zhiya said to Su Ruan, "Can we talk privately?"

Su Ruan noticed that Lu Zhiya had something to say to her, and nodded in agreement, saying "Okay."

The two of them found a secluded spot.

Su Ruan opened the conversation by asking, "Star Lord Lu, is there something you want to say to me?"

Lu Zhiya nodded and tentatively asked, "Do you know about past lives?"

Su Ruan was taken aback.

"Could it be you..." She was a bit surprised.

Could it be that Lu Zhiya was also reborn?

Lu Zhiya understood her implied meaning, shook her head, and at the same time confirmed that Su Ruan was reborn. What about Xiao Nian? Was Xiao Nian also reborn?

"Xiao Nian, he..." she paused, "is he too?"

Su Ruan shook her head, "He’s not."

Seemingly thinking of something, she asked thoughtfully, "Did you learn about this from the Evil Beast?"

Although the Evil Beast appeared terrifying, in reality, it had a simple mind. With Lu Zhiya’s skills, the Evil Beast surely wouldn’t withstand her line of questioning.

This meant that Lu Zhiya wasn’t reborn.

Indeed, such a heaven-defying event as being reborn wouldn’t be so common.
