Interstellar Crisis 3

“Auntie, but what about Grandma?” Ye Mo asked. Although she was from the Dark Clan in her previous life, she was well aware of human traditions, including respect for elders. No matter what, she still felt obligated to show filial piety towards her grandmother.

Aunt Yu waved her hand dismissively. “I’ll handle your grandmother from now on. Little Mo said you shouldn’t be in contact with her for the time being. He’s just worried something might happen to you. Let me and Little Mo have some peace of mind, okay?”

General Mo had become “Little Mo” in Aunt Yu’s vocabulary, and she said it so naturally that it didn’t feel out of place at all.

Aunt Yu used to have deep feelings for her mother, but after watching the video sent by Mo Mo, her emotions shifted. In the video, her mother had lost her senses to the point of wanting to capture Momo and had even colluded with outsiders. Aunt Yu couldn’t understand why her mother would do such a thing. Hadn’t Momo been good to them?

To be honest, Aunt Yu was now more grateful to Momo than to her own mother. Momo had given her a new life, financial security, and even the opportunity to earn a significant amount of star coins.

Although Momo never showed it explicitly, Aunt Yu felt that her niece was extraordinary and would someday soar to great heights.

Aunt Yu couldn’t comprehend her mother’s actions. Now that her own mother was unreliable, she decided to take on the responsibility of handling all contact with her mother to prevent Momo from getting hurt. Little Mo had also advised her to stay inside as much as possible. From the size of Momo’s belly, it was clear that she was due to give birth soon. If Aunt Yu were tricked into leaving, there would be no one left to care for Momo.

Not only did Aunt Yu want to cut off contact between her mother and Momo, but she also distanced herself from her mother.

Recently, Aunt Yu has been busy with her business ventures. Selling fruit had earned her a substantial amount of star coins—tens of millions already, with the potential to reach hundreds of millions soon.

This opportunity was given to her by Momo and Little Mo, so she decided to provide her mother with a monthly allowance but would avoid face-to-face meetings. As for the money that Momo had, Aunt Yu felt that her mother didn’t deserve to spend it. After all, her mother had tried to sell Momo; if she also spent Momo’s money, it would be like slapping herself in the face.

Aunt Yu didn’t want to burden Momo with these troubling matters, so she kept them to herself. She had also discovered some books on cultivating vegetables, fruits, and grains from the butler. Aunt Yu planned to learn how to grow strawberries and grapes, knowing they were good for pregnant women.

The land in this valley was perfect for cultivation, and Aunt Yu had already started planning.

What Aunt Yu didn’t know was that Momo had an abundance of fruit in her hands. Even if she didn’t have the fruit she wanted, she could grow it in her space farm in no time.

But Momo was touched when she heard that Aunt Yu was busying herself with planting grapes and strawberries for her, and she didn’t stop her. After all, keeping Aunt Yu occupied was much better than her being idle in the villa.

In this way, Aunt Yu and Grandma were a stark contrast to each other.

Momo was also aware of what was happening with Grandma. Mo Mo hadn’t hidden anything from her, as he was afraid Grandma might trick Momo into leaving. He had shown Momo her grandmother’s true colours even before he regained his memories. After regaining them, he worried even less. His little wife was of ghost warrior rank—more than capable of protecting herself in this galaxy. Unless Qin Lin regained his memories, no one could harm her.

Even if Qin Lin did regain his memories, he might not be able to harm her, as she had her own trump cards.

Mo Mo had taken his troops to the battlefield. Momo felt a bit melancholic about his departure. Mo Mo usually liked to stay by her side, and now, without his presence, she found it hard to adjust.

Momo gently caressed her belly. “Little one, wouldn’t it be nice if you came out sooner? I’d love to see what the interstellar battlefield is like. Aren’t you curious too?”

Momo really wanted to know what it was like to fight against the Zerg. How big were they? How tough was the fur of the Orcs?

Unfortunately, with her big belly, she dared not go to the battlefield.

Momo logged onto the StarNet and found a live broadcast platform focused on battlefield coverage.

This was her first time watching such a video, and she entered the most popular livestream room. Judging by the camera, it appeared to be satellite footage. The planet below was swarming with flying insects, densely packed, covering the sky and earth.

Each insect was over a meter long, green in color, with six claws and wings.

“These look familiar,” Momo thought as she pulled out some books she had collected from the mortal world. She quickly found what she was looking for. “These are locusts, and they’re edible!”

Momo’s eyes lit up as she read the description. Following the book’s instructions, she began composing a message on StarNet, detailing the nutritional benefits of locusts, such as their high protein, fat, and trace elements. She also explained which parts were edible and, most importantly, highlighted that locusts were considered a delicacy in ancient times, much like shrimp.

Momo posted all this information on her master account. She knew that if she used a small account, no one would pay attention, but her master account was different. Even though she hadn’t been active recently, she still had tens of thousands of followers leaving comments daily.

Momo’s reputation as an expert in extraordinary plants carried weight!

As soon as Momo’s post went live, StarNet exploded with reactions.

“Can this thing really be eaten?”

“Aren’t the insect race the filthiest species?”

“I still remember seeing photos of the battlefield after a fight with the insect race. The whole area was covered in insect body parts. It’s disgusting just thinking about it!”

“Master, are you sure these insects aren’t poisonous?”

“Yeah, some insects are extremely toxic.”

People flooded Momo’s post with comments, and Mo Mo immediately called her.

“Momo, are you sure these things are edible?” Mo Mo couldn’t recall seeing anything like this in the Dark Realm. How did his little wife know about this?

Momo scanned the book and sent it to Mo Mo’s wristwatch. Since he was on the battlefield, it might be useful for him to read the description. Who knows, he might uncover some secrets about these creatures!

When Mo Mo saw the book’s content, he was stunned. This was an ancient text. How did his little wife have it, and in such pristine condition?
