Chapter 495 Hu Jingjing's True Thoughts
As soon as Lu Youyou entered Hu Jingjing's room, she took out four sets of all-purpose baby kits.
"This is a gift I prepared for my child. Wearing it will save you some trouble."
"Thank you."
Hu Jingjing accepted the gift with composure and immediately changed the clothes on the babies.
As she changed, she hummed a gentle tune.
After changing their clothes, all four babies fell asleep.
She then looked up and asked seriously.
"My lord, I seem to recall that the Butterfly Family did not send you an invitation. Why did you come uninvited?"
Hu Jingjing spoke bluntly, and Lu Youyou didn't mince words either.
"Could you tell me the coordinates of Thief Planet?"
Hu Jingjing was taken aback, then suddenly realized something.
"You think you can lead a team to capture thieves and win the loyalty of the people? You're dreaming."
Lu Youyou's face turned ugly. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard Hu Jingjing's next words.
"Do you know how dangerous the Thief Planet is? Even if I led a team there, we might not be able to put up a fight. You, a mere human, aren't you afraid of dying?"
Despite Hu Jingjing's unpleasant words, Lu Youyou still strangely sensed the concern in her tone.
She thought that Hu Jingjing's statement about her wishful thinking was a way to win everyone's loyalty.
In retrospect, Hu Jingjing's statement that she was dreaming was actually aimed at capturing and killing thieves.
The former is a personal attack and provocation.
The latter is an awkward reminder.
Lu Youyou seemed to know what kind of person Hu Jingjing was.
She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
The best way to get along with someone like that is to speak frankly and directly.
"Wouldn't my death make it easier for you to become the adult?"
Hu Jingjing's face instantly turned bright red. She wanted to retort loudly but was mindful of the child who had just fallen asleep.
She growled in a low voice, her body trembling.
"Who wants to be an adult? Don't think of me as so sinister!"
“Our Butterfly family is the most upright and honest. If you want to be an adult, you’ve been an adult since my grandfather’s generation. It has nothing to do with you, Zheng Chun!”
Although it was very inappropriate, Lu Youyou still asked, "Who is Zheng Chun?"
Hu Jingjing suddenly laughed.
"You don't even know the former lord's name?"
"My predecessor told me his name was Denny."
"Dunnie? Dunnie... He's waiting for you. He's waiting for you. As expected of humans, they have so many tricks up their sleeves and even know how to use homophones to make you happy."
Lu Youyou fell silent.
She thought her ex-boyfriend valued her, but he never told her his real name until his death.
"Well, don't be too sad. Adults live a long time and have used many stage names. They may not even remember their own names."
Hu Jingjing awkwardly offered her comfort.
Lu Youyou: "Then how do you know the adult's real name?"
"Because my grandfather was Zheng Chun's contracted pet. From the time he became an adult, he allowed the pets he had previously contracted to return to normal life."
Hu Jingjing shrugged.
"That's why I say, if our family wants to be an adult, we can start from my grandfather's generation, because Zheng Chun would step down without hesitation. They are both master and servant, and brothers."
Lu Youyou asked again, "Since you don't want to be an adult, why won't you tell me the coordinates of Thief Planet?"
Hu Jingjing took a deep breath and exhaled slowly and gently.
She looked Lu Youyou up and down, without a trace of mockery, simply stating the facts she had witnessed.
"Humans are thin and weak, and they don't have any special skills. I know you brought a few friends to Wangxing, but how can you fight against the thieves on a planet?"
"Don't think those thieves follow your human code of honor. Every one of them has the blood of countless innocent people on their hands. They are vicious and ruthless!"
"You want to be an adult? No problem, the Butterfly Family will support you. But as for leading a team into battle, unless you show me enough strength, I won't tell you the coordinates of Thief Planet."
“My lord, you just sit on the high platform and let us handle the rest. Don’t worry that I will sideline you. Our Butterfly family doesn’t have that many tricks up our sleeves.”
Lu Youyou was not blind to Hu Jingjing's earnest advice.
Even if what she said is true, everyone in the Butterfly family will support her.
but……
Lu Youyou herself didn't want to be a useless person.
Many races have already mentally considered Hu Jingjing as a potential adult candidate, hoping to emerge out of nowhere and inherit the position of adult.
How can you gain the respect of the people if you haven't achieved anything yet?
Does this mean that every time an order is given, the Butterfly Family will have to repeat it to everyone?
That kind of life wasn't what she wanted.
She would rather not be an adult and survive in the world as an ordinary person.
"Let's exchange contact information. I'll have my own power. Don't go back on your word and hide the coordinates of Thief Planet again."
Hu Jingjing laughed.
"You think I like fighting? Please, I've only just finished my postpartum period and I'm already going to fight? It's more annoying than anyone else's!"
"If you really have the strength to fight the Thieves Planet, I, Hu Jingjing, will be the first to support you. Not only that, I will also broadcast it live throughout the universe so that everyone can see your prowess!"
As she spoke, she sent a friend request to Lu Youyou.
"Alright, I've added you as a friend, sir. Aren't you going back to develop your forces? I need to rest. I might have to lead the troops into battle again in the end. I can't afford to be unwell."
Lu Youyou turned around, but after taking a few steps, she turned back again.
"I have one last question."
Hu Jingjing said helplessly, "Ask."
Do you hate me?
"It's not that I dislike it."
"Then why didn't you send me an invitation?"
Hu Jingjing: "This is the second question."
Lu Youyou remained silent.
Hu Jingjing paused for a moment and replied, "We just don't want to upset my grandfather. We don't want him to see anything or anyone related to Zheng Chun, or he'll go crazy."
"Is he emotionally unstable?" Lu Youyou asked.
"This is your third question."
“I inherited your laboratory; what if there’s a medicine that can cure your grandfather?”
This time, it was Hu Jingjing's turn to remain silent.
It lasted a full three minutes.
Neither of them spoke for those three minutes.
Lu Youyou caught a glimpse of Hu Jingjing's reddened eyes and her attempt to wipe away tears.
Knowing that Hu Jingjing was strong-willed, she looked away and stopped deliberately staring at her.
Three minutes later, Hu Jingjing's voice was trembling with tears.
“My grandfather went mad after the previous lord died. He doesn’t recognize anyone, but he can smell the lord’s scent on everything.”
“You live on Wangxing, so you must have picked up the scent of the former master. I don’t want you to come because I don’t want my grandfather to go crazy.”
"If you really have the ability to create a drug that can bring Grandpa back to his senses, I, Hu Jingjing, will respect you for life. If anyone says a bad word about you, I'll come and kill them!"
In the end, Hu Jingjing couldn't control her tone and woke up the child in bed.
She picked up the child and hummed a lullaby again.
Lu Youyou waved goodbye to her silently and quietly left.
