It had been three days since their return to Earth.
During this trip to the Helaer Planet, Guo Xuyang had acquired a spaceship and a car. On his way back, he also obtained ten Steel Castles.
The robots and spaceships within the Steel Castles were even more remarkable, guaranteed to bring a pleasant surprise to everyone.
"Yangzi, you're back." Jiang Qixin was the first to call.
"Yes, President Jiang. We are at the western base now. There are a few heavyweight items, and I'm not sure where would be the best place to put them," Guo Xuyang replied.
He had returned to Earth aboard Xiao Si's spaceship and headed directly to the base. To his surprise, Jiang Qixin had already returned.
He hadn't dared to let Casa pilot the massive Steel Castle down, fearing it would cause shock rather than surprise.
"Heavyweight? What is it? Can I see it?"
"How should I put it? Have you watched Star Wars? It's like the giant steel castles from there."
"What? Steel Castles? Where did you get that thing? You're not messing with me, are you?" Jiang Qixin's voice rose considerably.
"Seriously, when have I ever lied to you?"
"Aren't you at the base? Let's connect via video call," Jiang Qixin said quickly.
"That thing is still up there. I haven't dared to bring it down."
"Ah? Still up there? Can it just float there on its own?"
"I've arranged for people to control it from up there. Now you need to find me a place, as there are quite a few things inside. You'll need to find people to properly inventory them."
"This? You rest up at the base first. I'll head over immediately. It should take about three hours to reach the base."
"Alright then, I'll wait for you here," Guo Xuyang said, ending the call.
After hanging up, Jiang Qixin immediately requested permission from his superiors for a direct flight to the western base.
A Steel Castle flying in space, how large could it be? Could the base even accommodate it? Would it have to be placed outdoors?
It would be impossible to hide it now.
Jiang Qixin mulled over many possibilities during his journey.
"Miss, shall I show you our local scenery?" Guo Xuyang asked Xiao Si.
"No, I want to get some good sleep.
I've been through a lot of anxiety on this trip and haven't rested well.
There's plenty of time, and it's not too late to see it later,"
Xiao Si shook her head.
"Alright then, let's get some rest. I'll take you to eat something delicious when you wake up."
Xiao Si agreed and drifted off to sleep.
The living conditions at the base were not ideal, but Xiao Si fell asleep almost immediately.
It seemed she was truly exhausted.
Feeling bored, Guo Xuyang called Yu'er and the others one by one.
"Yu'er, I'm at the base now. Yes, I just got back not long ago. I'll be going back tomorrow. Okay, goodbye."
"Mom, I'm back. Yes, I can be home tomorrow. Let's go to Junyue Lai and order a table; I've been craving their food.
Hehehe, you've worked hard. I'm not going out for now after I get back. Okay, Mom, goodbye."
"Wife, do you miss me? Are you with Mom? Alright then, I'll be back tomorrow. Goodbye."
After making a round of calls, he suddenly remembered that Ye Zi was still stored in his mind and hadn't been released.
He had been so preoccupied with his adventures that he had completely forgotten about Ye Zi.
"Out," he murmured, releasing Ye Zi.
"You scoundrel, you finally remember to let me out?" Ye Zi kicked him as soon as she emerged.
"Wasn't I afraid you wouldn't be comfortable outside? Don't mind it," Guo Xuyang said with a cheeky grin.
"What do I mind? You were out having a blast, and you had Casa feed me every day.
Don't think I don't know about your good deeds." Ye Zi was relentless.
Even though she was in Guo Xuyang's mind, she could clearly sense his actions.
He was flirting with people every day, not only having Xi Youli but also messing around with those female students everywhere.
She really didn't know where he got his energy from.
However, in the latter few days, she was quite happy. Seeing Guo Xuyang completely drained by Xi Youli, his legs shaking, she found it immensely amusing.
Every villain has their match; she hadn't expected he would ever face such a fate.
He was truly exhausted, otherwise, he wouldn't have been ambushed on the way back without even realizing it.
Fortunately, the attackers hadn't done anything harmful, so she had stopped Casa from issuing a warning.
It was good for Guo Xuyang to suffer a little, lest he become too arrogant.
She hadn't expected him to wake up and directly subdue those monsters.
These monsters were indeed grotesque. Even she, who was accustomed to strange and bizarre creatures, felt disgusted by them.
Of course, this was also due to her pregnancy.
During this period, while she was in Guo Xuyang's mind, she couldn't move, but Casa took meticulous care of her.
As soon as she came out, she gave Guo Xuyang a good kick.
It was revenge for him forgetting her.
It was also because she resented his debauchery and reckless behavior.
"My dear little ancestor, please be magnanimous. You can't say these things here.
If you reveal them, won't they drain me dry?"
Upon hearing Ye Zi's words, Guo Xuyang quickly begged for mercy.
"You know to regret it now? When you were being debauched and reckless, why didn't you think of this?"
"Wasn't I helpless? You know, I was almost a slave," Guo Xuyang said pitifully.
"A slave? I believe that. If you forget me again next time, I'll make you pay."
"Alright, alright, I won't dare to do it again."
"Why haven't you taken this beauty in yet?" Ye Zi asked, looking at Xiao Si.
"My dear little ancestor, please spare me. Don't you know her age?"
"Her age? Does age still matter to you?
I don't think she's very old, at most twenty-one or twenty-two.
If you don't believe me, take her home and let my sisters see. They definitely won't say she's old."
"Let's forget it. I can barely manage all of you; I shouldn't provoke another one."
"You didn't think of these sisters on that planet. I see you were quite merciless with those female students."
"That was just playing along. You know, we don't have to take responsibility for those girls."
"You call yourself a playboy and still try to justify it. A man like you will eventually die on a woman's belly."
Ye Zi cursed him angrily and stopped paying attention to him.
Jiang Qixin arrived very quickly, reaching the base in less than three hours.
"Yangzi, you've worked hard," Jiang Qixin said warmly, shaking Guo Xuyang's hand as soon as they met.
"It wasn't hard. This trip was successful, and the harvest was considerable," Guo Xuyang said with a smile.
Ye Zi pouted from the side, remaining silent.
