Chapter 109

[Who still claims that the Queen's only contribution is bearing children? Even without them, she's living a much better life than any of you.]

[Predicting a defense: someone will surely say the Queen only opened this store thanks to the royal family's funds. But it was actually the Queen who started from scratch when she arrived in the Z galaxy, hahaha.]

[And the Queen never used royal influence for publicity. If not for the grand opening today, nobody would've known the store belonged to her.]

[Isn't she supposed to be inactive?]

Who could have imagined that the Queen had such hidden talents?

Now, even critics were left speechless.

The Queen had managed to establish a chain of stores and seemed quite prosperous!

Unless they insisted the store wasn't truly hers.

[The store might not really belong to the Queen. Perhaps she just hired a chef and the royal family provided locations, using her name for prestige.]

Indeed, His Majesty treats the Queen so well, going as far as to do this just to protect her from criticism.

originally intended to stir up more trouble, but they couldn't send the subsequent messages.

Not only could they not send them, but their accounts also displayed abnormal status.

Before long, their IDs were blacklisted.

??

Some discovered that they had been silenced and attempted to contact customer service for assistance, only to be told that they lacked the authority to lift the ban.

It seemed that their actions had caught the attention of higher-ups, resulting in a warning.

The customer service representative addressed the complaints: "They've stated that if there are any further rumors about the Queen, they will personally locate each one of you."

"..."

The desire to fan the flames subsided, and now, the Star Network was eerily quiet.

Guiding black comments, as if by unspoken agreement, ceased their dissemination with remarkable harmony.

No one dared to risk further provocation, for fear of attracting the King's unwelcome attention. It was well-known that the King adored the Queen, and he might very well take any action in her defense.

To provoke such a madman would have dire consequences.

The Queen sparked a wave of upward striving from the grassroots.

Though few could emulate her success as a tycoon or attain high-ranking positions, many found they could engage in modest enterprises within their means.

Emulate the Queen's self-reliance!

Never before had the employment rate for receptors in the galaxy been so high.

With the Star Network having undergone a deliberate cleansing by the King, the fascination with the Queen took on a new form.

[Would Her Majesty consider opening a franchise on our Basan planet?!]

[Excuse me, but I'll claim my spot in line first! Our planet should be the first for a new branch!]

[No way, the Queen is opening a third store in the Z galaxy~~]

The shop had already gained popularity due to its reputation, but the enthusiasm for visiting it escalated once people learned it belonged to the Queen.

Many netizens were already fantasizing about the blissful days when a branch would open in their vicinity.

Lu Wei was not in the mood to indulge the interstellar web users. His focus was on another significant matter.

His Majesty the Dog informed him that the despicable one—

"He revealed Earth's coordinates."

Lu Wei's eyes lit up. "Really?"

His Majesty the Dog secretly sought credit. "Would you doubt such a thing with me on the case?"

Knowing a planet's coordinates allowed for plotting a course and journeying through the galaxy to reach it.

In theory, as long as one knew the coordinates, they could certainly travel to that planet.

That means he can indeed make a trip back to Earth!

Lu Wei placed a hand on his chest and said, "Hold on, I need a moment to catch my breath."

His Majesty the Dog gazed at him discontentedly. "Such a delicate flower, he only spoke after I pressed him for it."

Lu Wei casually patted his head as one would stroke a large dog, saying, "I know, you're the best."

After being casually praised, His Majesty the Dog finally satisfiedly curled the corners of his lips and sat back down.

Lu Wei approached the two youngsters and proposed to take them back with him.

He then turned to the canine monarch, who was sitting there, secretly filled with anticipation.

Silence ensued.

Lu Wei was somewhat apprehensive about the mischievous nature of His Canine Majesty. The unpredictable royal tended to act on impulse, with an unconventional way of thinking. One grand gesture could potentially upset the balance of the world.

Rubbing his hands together, Lu Wei said, "I'll be taking the two youngsters back with me for a few days."

Listening attentively, His Majesty the Dog noticed that the pampered one had fallen silent.

Raising his eyes in protest, he asked, "What about me?"

"You'd better stay here and wait for my return, obediently."

But His Majesty the Dog began to sulk darkly, "I want to meet your parents too."

"..."

May I ask who gave him permission?

Damn it, who are these so-called parents-in-law?

Lu Wei had no choice but to say, "Earth is quite similar to Wu Star."

His Majesty the Dog gazed at him expressionlessly, "Then we'll go to Wu Star together."

"..." Alright then.

Indeed, Lu Wei couldn't bear to be too harsh, so he said, "Then let's establish some ground rules first."

"No causing trouble, no messing around, and no spoiling the fun."

The Canine Sovereign clung to him insistently, "You don't trust me."

Then, he began to stare at Lu Wei in a dark and distorted manner.

Lu Wei skillfully soothed him, "Of course I trust you."

The Canine Sovereign insisted on accompanying him, yet he couldn't abandon the two children.

Thus, it was decided that the entire family would embark on the journey to Earth.

On the starship.

The pampered one's happiness was evident to the naked eye.

It was the first time since he married onto Emperor Star that his joy was so clearly displayed on his face.

One could tell how delighted he was about returning to his home planet.

In an instant, Huo Jin recalled numerous cases.

Many wives, upon returning to their home planets, refused to leave, preferring to live there even if it meant abandoning their husbands and children for a more familiar environment.

If the pampered one also wished to stay on Earth, then they would be forced into a long-distance relationship indefinitely. Judging by their current circumstances, they would be lucky to see each other once a month.

Ha.

He couldn't even bear to imagine such a life.

The two innocent children were still cheerfully oblivious.

Foolish.

Seizing the opportunity while Lu Wei was away, the Canine Monarch took precautions and approached the two younglings with a warning, "Be mindful, if your mother decides to stay on Earth for too long and not return to Emperor Star, you two will become left-behind children."

Lu Danjiao's heart jolted, sounding an alarm in his mind.

"Will Father stay on Earth forever?!"

A hint of amusement sparkled in Huo Nian's eyes, "If Father were to stay on Earth, wouldn't he bring us along as well? After all, we're still little, and he won't be at ease without us."

Relieved by his friend's words, Lu Danjiao sighed in relief, "Of course, Father would never leave us behind. We're still too young for him to worry."

At this moment, Lu Danjiao was grateful for his well-established image; it was the reason Father still fed and bathed him.

Even if Father truly wanted to stay, he would definitely take Lu Danjiao with him.

They were still so young.

Who was grown-up?

The Canine Monarch let out a cold laugh.

When Lu Wei returned, the mercifulless Canine Majesty announced, "The two little ones are about ready to gain experience in the Interstellar Conference."

Lu Wei: ?

"Didn't you say four or five years old before?"

How did a few days make such a difference that they were now ready?

This didn't seem like an announcement for Lu Wei's benefit, but rather a deliberate message to the two little plump balls.

The two little plump balls: ???

Lu Danjiao was the first to protest, "No way!"

Canine Majesty showed no sense of responsibility as a father, "They can already bathe and feed themselves. There's nothing wrong with it."

Lu Danjiao: "But..."

He wanted to howl with his dad!

Huo Nian spoke calmly, "But won't those uncles deny knowing us?"

The Canine Majesty looked at him, "Huo Nian, when did you start asking such meaningless questions?"

The chubby child lowered his head.

Lu Wei crossed his arms, "Why are you scaring the kid?"

Lu Wei placed the little fatty behind him.

Huo Nian obediently hid behind him, looking at Lu Wei with sparkling eyes.

The Earthling said, "How old is the child? How can they face that group alone?"

Both children hid behind Lu Wei, and Danjiao even made a mischievous face.

The Canine Majesty's expression grew colder the more he observed them.

His assessment of the danger these two little troublemakers posed escalated.

Dog Majesty: "Lu Wei, you don't love me anymore."

With that, the sulky one left, leaving Lu Wei speechless.

The two youngsters exchanged a glance and stealthily high-fived each other.

This marked their first joint victory, carrying significant meaning for their nascent alliance.

It was the first time Huo Nian had managed to win favor from his father.

A child with a mother is a treasure.

Now, Lu Wei had the task of attending to another incredibly moody individual.

In a family with three children, this was the kind of nuisance one had to deal with.

Everyone needed to be coddled.

The eldest one was even more childish and obstinate than the two youngsters; at least they could still reason. This elder sibling only spoke in terms of emotions – specifically, Lu Wei's emotions.

Lu Wei knocked on the door. "Open up."

"..."

There was no response.

"Listen to me, open the door!"

"..."

Not a single sound came from inside.

It was as if they hadn't heard a word at all.

But anyone on Earth knew that this person had definitely heard, they were simply throwing a tantrum.

After some thought, Lu Wei's ears tinged with red. "…Little darling, open the door."

Finally, the entrance cracked open.

A pair of dark, enigmatic eyes peeked out.

Then, a pair of hands reached out from inside and firmly grasped Lu Wei, their strength akin to vise-like clamps.

Before Lu Wei could react, he was pulled entirely inside.

He was then gently placed on the carpet.

Fights between partners were relatively simple.

Arguments at the bedside were reconciled by the time they reached the foot of the bed.

Mainly, it involved the bed.

Earthlings had made great sacrifices for their two little ones.

After all, dealing with an emotional Emperor was no easy task.

In truth, the older one was quite easy to appease.

He mainly wanted Lu Wei's attention, desiring for him to focus on him more, ideally neglecting the two children altogether.

The night was long.

After days of traveling through space, their starship finally prepared to land.

They arrived at the beautiful planet known as Earth.

At the thought of returning to his father's home planet, Lu Danjiao was quite thrilled: "From afar, it looks blue and green, so pretty!"

Lu Wei ruffled his hair: "Yes, Father thinks so too."

As soon as they landed, Lu Wei raised a fist: "If you dare utter a single negative word, I'll immediately send you back to Emperor Star."

The one who usually spoke harshly looked at his pampered little one: "I won't say anything."

Indeed, Earth's environment was quite similar to Wu Star, both being rather underdeveloped planets.

Lu Danjiao's eyes sparkled. "It's really like Wu Star, Daddy!"

Lu Wei nodded. "Yes, we had a good time there when I took you to Wu Star."

Pang Qiu, in the other hand, asked, "Does Daddy become unhappy when he returns to Emperor Star?"

Lu Wei replied, "Happy."

This little ball, Huo Nian, was also prone to emotional bombs, just like His Majesty the Dog, and needed to be coddled.
