Planet R0707

"Don't bully him too much."

Hua Lian was afraid that the little darling would stab the doctor to death.

That would be a waste. 

After finally tricking someone back, don't end up running away because of being abused.

We must be a conscious employer and strive to have a sustainable development.

One of S Galaxy's neighbors was R Galaxy. Conveniently, the planetary system where Hua Lian lived and owned was bordering the inhabitable planetary systems of the S Galaxy.

On the unnoticeable edge of the R Galaxy, after passing a meteor belt and hiding among countless dwarf planets, there's a medium bluish-gray planet.

Planet R0707.

It was an inhabitable planet with a larger land mass but plenty of inland waters. It had three small moons and was situated in a rare planetary system similar to the old solar system—a planetary system with a lone sun.

Habitants of the Interstellar Era had an almost fanatical longing for their hometown, the Ancient Blue Planet, which was commonly called the Motherland.

In this case, inhabitable planets in a planetary system with a lone sun will fetch an unimaginable price in the market. 

For a legally disabled citizen, it shouldn't be Hua Lian turn to own this ultra-rare gem.

Thankfully, it was her father, an Earl and a General, who incidentally discovered this planet. As the discoverer, he has the first buying rights.

With the financial resources of an Earl and his lifetime of savings, he was able to buy it as her adulthood gift.

It's true that Planet R0707 was a habitable planet located in a so-called geometrical treasure. But it was also undeniable that it's a remote, desolated, and poor planet.

Doctor Xiao felt the shaking turbulence as they entered the atmosphere, indicating a direct landing.

This remote planet probably didn't even have a starport!

And he was right.

When he finally saw the light outside the cabin, he was greeted by the vast, empty, and crackling land.

Instantly, he felt hot and dry. 

Seeing the endless land, as a sea turtle mimetic form, he felt unreasonably anxious. He said to himself that according to standard, a planet can only be judged as habitable if it at least has a large body of water that can sustain life.

However, standing in the middle of nowhere in an unfamiliar place made him almost pass out from the panic.

He didn't even care how he was dragged into a hover car.

"Why did you turn into a mimic again?" Hua Lian knocked on the trembling shell. "Hey, brother, are you unacclimated?"

The turtle played dead, and Hua Lian had to give up.

When Doctor Xiao came to himself, Hua Lian was carrying him towards a two story house surrounded by walls.

The mutant creeping vine jumped almost instantly. It slithers as if running for its life, climbing into the walls of the house.

Another mutant creeping vine that's occupying the other half of the wall noticed and extended a vine to help, but was rudely slapped away.

Damn you! You want to see all of its glory!

This mutant creeping vine refuses to acknowledge relatives!

To follow and protect Hua Lian, it has unrooted itself, and as a plant without the soil, it felt no different from being stark naked.

It was fine when it was sticking to Hua Lian; its root was hidden and wrapped around her arm.

But because of that bastard's bad thoughts, it has to go to battle bare. A stranger saw its roots and lost all of its dignity!

The mutant vine easily located the familiar container and plunged its root.

Finally, heaving a sigh of relief, it had rooted itself back to the soil.

The mutant creeping vine was once again a plant with dignity.

Doctor Xiao felt that the mutant vine glared at him. 

He coughed in embarrassment and turned back into his humanoid form. He decided to observe first. In fact, except to follow the little girl, he didn't know what else to do.

He thought that the two tamed mutant plants were impressive enough, but seeing the patches of spiritual grass all over the yard, he was stupefied.

Although spiritual grasses are one of the lowest kinds of spiritual plants, they're still sacred spiritual plants! And for them to grow in abundance meant that either the soil was especially fertile or the planet itself was suitable to grow spiritual plants.

But when did the empire have a remote planet suitable for spiritual plants? Wait, that would make the planet labeled as resource rich!

Dean Xiao was in tenterhooks, careful not to step on these fragile and priceless spiritual plants.

"Eggy! I'm back!" Hua Lian called out, and a floating egg-shaped white metallic robot came out. "Look at who I brought!"

Eggy digital eyes glance at the embarrassed Doctor Xiao, who looks like he suffered harassment with his clothes crumpled.

Before he could appraise the stranger, Hua Lian zoomed into his face. "No. Not him. Look at my hair! A butterfly, see?"

"An alien beast?"

"No, it's a mimic! A pollinator mimic! Eggy, you can entertain Doctor Xiao; I'll find a bed for the butterfly." Hua Lian ran inside, leaving Doctor Xiao staring at the mass-produced housekeeping robot.

Unexpectedly, this commonly mass produced housekeeping robot pulled out an ion gun.

He saw the ion gun light up, and he heard the robot saying, "You saw too much."

"You're an illegal robot!" 

How can a housekeeping robot operate an ion gun? Except if its AI was beyond standard protocol!

"Tsk, what you should be saying is that you didn't see anything."

It seems like the child brought back an idiot. Pinch him, and he will spill all the beans. Truly proving that as long as you are strong enough, he'll sell even his underpants.

Doctor Xiao shut up. 

When will this day full of embarrassment and confusion come to an end?

His image of a stable and reliable doctor was yesterday's memory.

While Eggy was establishing his authority, Hua Lian entered the nursery.

The nursery occupied a large area, connected at the back of the house. There's a transparent dome that isolates the whole place from the harsh climate of the planet and direct sunlight.

Divided into multiple sections, each place was full of spiritual plants in different growth stages. 

Drones are continuously flying to monitor the plants, and a system was installed to oversee the management of the nursery.

This was the result of Hua Lian's hardship for more than half a year.

As well as where all her money was drained.

From the soil to the water, all of them were purified using every drop of her pitiful spiritual energy. 

When she was young, she never grew up because of the lack of nutrients. When she grew up, she was drained every day, preventing her from maturing.

Hua Lian felt that the universe was harsh.

And the fertilizers, the materials, and every technology here scrape out the inheritance given by her father.

Just thinking about it broke her young heart.

However, she has no choice. Everything in here was prepared for the day she would finally take root.

Hua Lian hummed a song to cheer up. She walked into the flower section and picked out a pot of lavender seedlings.

The tiny sprout felt Hua Lian's aura and then came into contact with spiritual energy. Its leaves turned lush, growing rapidly, and at last, they bloomed.
