Chapter 22 2/2

“It’s time.

When Jiang Li discovered that the bodyguards hadn’t caught up, the spaceship had already taken off.

Really… great.

…

Three hours away from the interstellar transfer point, Jiang Li finished watching the ocean, looked at the grassland, and even watched an episode of a kangaroo mother raising its cubs. Somehow, the documentary software pushed an episode of “Real Battle for Custody Rights in the Aristocracy” to him.

Jiang Li widened his eyes slightly because of the fertility issue. Once the aristocratic couples who married due to alliances split up, the custody battle over the children was fierce due to the fertility problem.

Generally, the law tends to favor the one who gave birth, but the lawyers for the wealthy are not to be underestimated, employing various tactics.

Jiang Li glanced sideways in the direction of the cockpit. Seeing that Cen Lang wasn’t paying attention, he quietly adjusted his earphones and started watching the documentary. He was a bit impatient, so he skipped to the end to see the summary.

Most of the time, Omega won the lawsuit. Within three years, custody was generally granted to Omega, and after three years, the child’s opinion was taken into account. Jiang Li felt much more at ease.

The spaceship entered the scheduled orbit, and Cen Lang set it on autopilot. Jiang Li walked to the rear cabin, and when he saw what Jiang Li was watching, he chuckled.

He found that Jiang took gossip seriously. Whether it was about Jiang Li or the matters of the underground city, when the other party talked about it, his eyes would be fixed on them, urging them on, occasionally catching a glimpse of an unusual side.

Cen Lang sat in the chair next to Jiang Li and said, “What’s this? If you’re interested, I can tell you things that documentaries dare not film.”

Jiang Li: “There’s more?”

Cen Lang: “Some aristocrats can be quite despicable, especially when Omegas have no family background; they can be bullied quite miserably.”

Jiang Li put his hands in his pockets.

Cen Lang: “Three years ago, there was a mine owner who, in a divorce, wanted to take a two-year-old child. He framed his wife for contracting a contagious disease, making her unsuitable to live with the child.”

Jiang Li tightened his grip on his clothes.

Cen Lang: “There are also cases of hiding the child on an alien planet.”

Jiang Li’s gaze flickered.

Cen Lang: “In cases where the sides are evenly matched, there was an Alpha who cruelly severed his own fertility. The law takes care of the party without fertility. Originally, Omegas had an advantage.”

Jiang silently distanced himself from Cen Lang.

He confirmed once again that there was only one option after being discovered: if Cen Lang wanted a child, he couldn’t compete; if Cen Lang didn’t want a child, would he let him be born?

Too terrifying, he couldn’t eat his food.

After Cen Lang finished telling the story, he opened the panoramic window, popped out the dining table and chairs, and served attentively like a handsome steward. “How about a sour fish hotpot?”

…

Jiang Li suddenly looked away, took out a piece of bread from his bag, turned to the panoramic window, and outside was the vast starry sky, mysterious and magnificent, suitable for a meal. “I’m allergic to sour cabbage; bread is fine for me.”

Cen Lang: “How about tomato fish?”

Jiang conveyed to him… that he had eaten tomatoes before.

Jiang Li turned his head to see that the sour cabbage and marinated fish slices were still untouched, and the pot only had the prepared fish soup base. There were two tomatoes on the fruit plate.

Cen Lang gave up on the sour cabbage, smashed the tomatoes and threw them in, simmered for a few minutes, and immediately turned it into a dish.

February 3rd, Tomato Fish * Alpha.

Three hours later, the spaceship arrived at the interstellar transfer point. Cen Lang’s white-flame battleship was parked here.

A colossal entity, majestic and imposing, it conquered the interstellar with its dynamic remnants. At this moment, it floated quietly in the air, resembling its master, restrained in its sharpness, with traces of burning on its outer wings and medals left from penetrating the atmosphere.

Jiang casually asked, “Are you sure you want to use the battleship? Others are also possible.” He vaguely heard Cen Lang telling the bodyguards to save fuel.

Cen Lang: “In case of an attack on the way, the battleship can protect our safety.”

It was Jiang Li’s first interstellar journey. Did he have to use a small, broken ship?

A low sliding sound rang out, the white flame approached, the automatic door opened, and the inside was obviously different from the spaceship, armed to the teeth, a cold metallic forest.

Before leaving, Wang Tianhu also told him that if he encountered the white flame battleship, he could help take a photo with his picture. Jiang Li didn’t expect he could go up himself.

The Space Force’s bases were scattered in various military fortresses, the nearest being the command headquarters. The battleship arrived in a day, with the highest A-level here, and other small bases generally only had leaders who were A-level.

Seeing the battleship land from a first-person perspective, the scene was shocking and overwhelming. Jiang Li turned his gaze to the pilot, Cen Lang, beside him. He had to admit that the strongest Alpha in the universe was undoubtedly Cen Lang.

Jiang Li’s thoughts returned to the main business: “Did any top-level Alpha agree to donate pheromones?”

Cen Lang said, “Yes, let’s wait in the battleship.”

He sent a message to the Alpha chat group: “A friend needs pheromones from a top-level Alpha for medical research; come to the White Flame for a blood draw.”

Followed by two words: voluntary.

Jiang Li opened the medical box, disinfected his hands, and took out the collection tube and the accompanying reagents. He handwrote an explanatory note and pasted it on the door, explaining the cause and effect and ensuring that it would not violate the privacy of pheromones.

At this time, most people were asleep, and in the group, only one Alpha responded.

After fifteen minutes, the top-level Alpha arrived late. After glancing at the note at the door and then at the inside of the battleship, his eyes suddenly lit up.

This… Beta military doctor? No, he couldn’t sense the other’s pheromones, and there was another possibility: the other was a marked top-level Omega.

In the boss’s battleship, being served busy by Boss Cen Lang, what else could it be if not a sister-in-law? If Cen Lang led the military, he would probably hold the position of a general. That would be the general’s wife!

The Alpha rolled up his sleeves respectfully and said, “Draw as you like.”

“Thank you.” Jiang Li seriously disinfected with alcohol, then opened the needle tube cap and gently pushed the needle into the skin.

Alpha’s pain perception wasn’t as sensitive as Omega’s. Jiang Li’s technique was good; he only felt the gentle force of disinfection and felt nothing when the blood was drawn. He could even have another needle.

Such a gentle military doctor! Those Alpha military doctors who stabbed people to death should really take a look!

“Another shot!” “No, I think we can disinfect one more time.”

Jiang Li encountered such a strange request for the first time. He picked up another piece of alcohol cotton with tweezers.

Cen Lang kicked the Alpha away with a foot: “It’s done, you can go.” Why should he disinfect twice?

Jiang, casually: “Anyway, we have time. It’s fine to disinfect a few more times.” The more times, the better.

Cen Lang nodded. Yes, his dissatisfaction was that there was too much time, and these Alphas were dragging their feet. He opened his phone, preparing to limit the blood-drawing time, but he saw that in the group where there was no one just now, messages were flooding in: “Coming soon!”

Cen Lang frowned and moved the message forward.

Only to see that the first Alpha who had finished drawing blood shouted in the group, “Drawing blood can see Boss Cen’s wife!”

“Fuck”, don’t focus on that; let me draw first!” “Will the boss really shake us correctly?” “Wake up when the wife comes!” “What if the wife thinks our space force is cold-hearted when she comes too late?”

Cen Lang’s face was expressionless.

What’s this? His words weren’t as effective as ‘wife’?
