The Agreement

General Mo was eager to build a strong alliance with Ye Mo, but his efforts were constantly hindered by forces working against him. Before he could make any meaningful progress with her, he received an order from the First Star Alliance Military Headquarters to return and await further instructions.

This was a clear power play, but General Mo wasn’t about to comply. He had fought hard to claim District 8, and it was firmly under his control. He immediately rejected the order, knowing that every soldier in District 8 was loyal to him. Unless he chose to leave, no one could take District 8 from him.

General Mo understood that the order was a plot by powerful figures wanting to seize the Transcendent Plant Master. They believed that if General Mo were out of the way, they could rush into District 8 and capture her. But General Mo, determined to protect the master even without a solid relationship, wasn’t about to let that happen. Also, he hasn’t established a good relationship with the master yet, so he can’t let anyone meddle in.

In this galaxy, each district’s general held absolute power over their area, and General Mo had won Area 8 through combat. Removing him required defeating him in battle, not just sending orders. General Mo’s authority and the loyalty of his troops made him a formidable force, and he wasn’t about to relinquish his command because of some distant orders.

General Mo knew the powerful figures were desperate to control the Transcendent Plant Master, and if they succeeded, her freedom would be stripped away. General Mo, however, had no intention of imprisoning her; he sought a mutually beneficial relationship. After experiencing the fruits’ health benefits, he realized that increasing one’s health to 100% could extend lifespans to over 600 years. Who wouldn’t want that? Even General Mo wasn’t immune to the allure of a longer life.

The master was generous, selling her fruits at fair prices, while General Mo knew he would have charged astronomical sums if he were in her position. The entire galaxy was going crazy over the fruits, and General Mo, like everyone else, was captivated. Determined to protect the master, he ensured that no one could enter District 8 without his permission.

Traveling between districts was impossible without passing through a wormhole, which General Mo controlled. As long as he held that position, District 8 was impenetrable.

Ye Mo, on her end, was largely unaware of interstellar politics but sensed that Mo was trying to get close to her. She had seen the debates online, where people discussed what they would do if they ever met the Master of Supernatural Plants. Many suggested imprisoning her—a prospect that infuriated Ye Mo. She realized that being the master was more dangerous than being a pregnant woman; at least for a pregnant woman, what everyone wanted was a child but for a master, what people wanted was the abilities the master possessed.

Given the dangers, Ye Mo started to consider allying herself with a powerful figure. Among her options, General Mo was the highest-ranking and had control over District 8.

Just as she was weighing her choices, General Mo reached out again.

“What exactly does General Mo want?” Ye Mo wondered why he hadn’t revealed his true intentions yet.

“Do you trust me, Master?” General Mo asked.

“Somewhat,” Ye Mo replied cautiously.

“Master, I can promise that District 8’s military will protect your safety without restricting your freedom,” he assured.

“And then?” Ye Mo asked, contemplating a partnership. If General Mo could truly ensure her freedom, it could work.

Although District 8 was currently isolated, it included over a dozen planets. While General Mo had restricted access to Kamo Planet, local nobles could still obtain passes. General Mo could guard against outside threats, but he couldn’t fully control the old veterans within the military, who were motivated by personal gain. To many in the military, controlling the Transcendent Plant Master meant ultimate power.

General Mo generally maintained peace with the old guard, valuing cooperation over conflict.

“So, Master, there’s no need to hide. You can trust me, Mo Mo. Even meeting in person wouldn’t be an issue. Knowing your appearance would help me protect you better.”

“Mo Mo?” Ye Mo almost screamed at the familiar name. It was the first time since arriving in this galaxy that she had heard a name so close to her past.

Could he be the same Mo Mo from her previous life? If so, what should she do?

That man… He was pretty good-looking, but no matter how good-looking he was, If this was indeed the Mo Mo she remembered, then perhaps Qin Lin, who played a role in her journey to this interstellar world, wasn’t far behind. She felt a sudden urge to meet this Mo Mo and confirm if he was truly the person from her past.

As for Qin Lin, while he had treated her well, he was the reason she had ended up in this strange world. But now, enjoying her life of luxury and comfort, she found it hard to stay angry at him.

“Master, what is your decision?” Mo asked, his voice respectful but eager.

“Let’s meet,” Ye Mo finally decided.

“Where?” General Mo asked, barely containing his excitement. The master was finally willing to meet him!
