Chapter 289 Starting Point
Chapter 289 Starting Point
Past, present, and future? What does that taste like? Does that thing even have a taste? Shen Qingqing was completely bewildered, and the question lingered in her mind long after she left the temple.
……
"Qingqing, Qingqing?"
"what?"
Shen Qingqing suddenly came to her senses and realized that she and Ge Yuan had boarded the next flight without her noticing.
Strange, why does she have no recollection of taking a flight?
Ge Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had come to her senses, and then slumped back in her seat. "I called you for a long time and you didn't respond. I thought your heart had been stolen by the Red God."
"Ge Yuan, why are we sitting on a flight?" Shen Qingqing asked, full of questions.
This flight looked very similar to the one they had previously sneaked off to reach another star system; both were packed with people and visibly overloaded.
Ge Yuan sat up with a thud, but because of her height, she bumped her head into the luggage rack, cried out in pain, clutched her head, and fell backward again. It took her a while to recover, and her tone was even more shocked than Shen Qingqing's:
"You're asking me why I got on the flight? Are you sure?"
"Ah."
Although she didn't understand why Ge Yuan reacted so strongly, Shen Qingqing still nodded obediently.
"Oh dear Qingqing, what time is it for you to only think of asking this question now... Speaking of which, do you feel like you've forgotten a lot of things? Hmm?"
“It seems to be a little bit.”
Hearing Shen Qingqing's uncertain tone, Ge Yuan tilted her head back and said, "Andorra, quickly write this down. He's experiencing memory loss, which could be an early symptom of Alzheimer's disease."
"Hmm." Andor picked up a pen in the back row and quickly wrote down notes on the paper, occasionally asking about Shen Qingqing's recent diet.
Finally, a head popped out from between the two of them, its icy blue eyes full of concern: "Have you been feeling down lately? Have you been having trouble sleeping... Ah, I should ask Saenster about that, he knows more about these things."
As he spoke, Andorra picked up a pen and paper and stood up.
Because of the cramped interior space of the flight, Andorra was greeted with his own special background music as soon as he got up:
"Hey, can you be a little quieter when you get up? You're making such a racket."
"I'm speechless. Hey, what are you doing? Where are you trying to climb, kid?"
Even the strong yet slender Andor was not spared punishment; those around him held him tightly around the lower back to prevent him from crawling directly over the seat.
Even though Andor was being held around the waist and blocked, he still dutifully asked the front row about Shen Qingqing's recent situation.
Shen Qingqing watched as Andor leaned out from behind them, his waist resting against the back of the chair, holding paper and pen, and began to communicate with those in front of them.
Yes, she and Ge Yuan were sitting in front of Saenster, and behind them were Andor, Selit, and other Zerg.
Almost everyone of note and importance in Wang Xing's life is here.
Shen Qingqing looked up and saw her fair waist exposed under the white shirt. The shirt had a great drape and a very high-end feel, perfectly outlining Andorra's figure, especially the lines of her back and waist.
Looking from the waist, there's a slightly concave lower abdomen, and abs that are lean yet well-defined and muscular. And looking further up... that's where the paid content comes in.
Shen Qingqing blushed and quickly turned her face away, forcing herself to look away from Andorra, her gaze shifting guiltily to the window. She listened to Ge Yuan tell her about the events of the past few days.
"Qingqing, have you forgotten that it was you who took the initiative to suggest traveling around the entire interstellar space? After we met the Red God, you brought it up yourself, saying that you wanted to squeeze onto an interstellar flight to travel in order to enhance the experience."
In fact, Shen Qingqing had no memory of those days. She only felt dizzy and spoke without thinking, saying whatever came to mind without paying attention to what she was saying.
However, upon hearing the words "Red God," her mind instantly sharpened, and she immediately hugged Ge Yuan and asked, "Where is the Red God? Where is He?"
Ge Yuan looked at her with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, and remained silent for a long time before speaking, "That guy left three days ago, and you personally saw him off. Of course, when he left, those six-winged red worms that were rampaging in the interstellar space also left."
Gone? Shen Qingqing could hardly believe it. Ever since that day when they talked in the temple and the Red God mentioned the issue of smell, her daily dreams had changed from fantasizing about conquering the stars and the sea to throwing a farewell party for the Red God.
So he just left so easily...left?
That's it?
Shen Qingqing seriously doubted that she was still dreaming. She pinched herself in disbelief, and then discovered with a mixture of horror and joy that it was all real!
Go Yuan, Andor, Serit, and Saenster in the front row watched this scene and fell into deep thought.
Finally, Andor picked up a pen and wrote on the paper: "Suspected early symptoms of hypochondria."
……
Actually, the insect queen's life is quite good. She has food, drink, and fun, and most importantly, she has a partner.
This statement contains no discriminatory content.
If you do, it just means you don't have a partner.
Shen Qingqing lived a very comfortable life. Every morning when she woke up, she would see a tall, well-defined male body with muscles bigger than hers. Most importantly, the male body was also very handsome.
Most importantly, he was her husband!
Amidst this trend and the constant revelry, Shen Qingqing suddenly remembered a question:
At this intensity, won't her back break?
No, she needs to see a doctor another day to make sure she's in good health.
During her last interstellar trip, which lasted for half a month, she specially brought along her old friends. Apart from Leah, who made it clear that she did not want to leave Wangxing for the time being because she had to take the judicial exam in a few days and could not be absent, Fourteen and Vina also came.
It's hard to imagine the expressions on the faces of those once arrogant nobles, who were second only to the worms, now forced to take a crowded interstellar flight because of Shen Qingqing's whim.
After returning to Wangxing, Shen Qingqing began to abolish the hereditary system of nobility and re-establish a more authoritative judicial institution. An examination was held every two years, and the admission process was conducted in secrecy to ensure that the entire process was open and transparent.
The Zerg Academy has been successfully established and has begun its enrollment phase.
The Zerg are currently thriving and prosperous, and Shen Qingqing has finally decided to let go and stop interfering in the Zerg's internal affairs, instead handing over the reins of power to the Federation.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, within six months at most, the Zerg will be able to secure their position as the world's number one race, with their GDP per Zerg far exceeding the average GDP of the interstellar race.
Of course, history is not always smooth sailing.
