Chapter 305: Sister-Brother Romance
Chapter 305: Sister-Brother Romance
After a brief moment of playfulness, the group of four did not delay further and quickly returned to the Ninth Outpost.
Upon arriving at the Garrison Hall, which was also the residence of Old Ti, they chatted for a while.
Old Ti had prepared a sumptuous feast to treat Li Qian and his daughter, Elena.
This feast was not considered extraordinary on the Ancestral Star, but in the Ninth Outpost, where resources were relatively scarce, it was quite a rare treat.
Old Ti was in high spirits and drank quite a bit. For him, this was a triple celebration.
Not only had his companion beast, Golden Bud, evolved, but the Four-Winged Mantis had also healed its hidden injury and entered the Emperor Rank. Most importantly, Ms. Han Ke had finally found her true love.
It was precisely because of this that Li Qian was quite surprised when he saw Ms. Han Ke preparing to leave with him and Elena the next day. "Ms. Han Ke, why don't you stay here a little longer?"
"Your teacher, Old Ti, still has his garrison duty and cannot leave the Ninth Outpost for now. As for me, I'm a teacher at Shazhou Beast Mastery University, and I have teaching responsibilities, so I can't stay for long," Ms. Han Ke explained while on the flying companion beast.
"But you just..." Li Qian still didn't quite understand.
"At our age, we're not looking for a long-lasting relationship," Ms. Han Ke said frankly.
Li Qian thought about it and felt that it made sense, but he still made a joke, "What's wrong with your age? You don't look old at all. If you walk with Elena, people will probably think you're sisters."
"Who knows, you might even have another baby with Old Ti!"
"Pfft!"
Upon hearing this, Elena couldn't help but laugh out loud. But soon, she chimed in, "Yes, Li Qian, you're right. I want a younger brother or sister too!"
"At this age, you should have a proper relationship..." Ms. Han Ke sighed and glanced at her daughter helplessly. "In a few years, I'll be ready to take care of my nephew or niece."
"Then you'll have to wait," Elena said, shrugging nonchalantly.
Suddenly, Ms. Han Ke turned to look at Li Qian and said something that almost made him choke, "Li Qian, you just started school this year, so you're probably 18 years old. Do you mind having a relationship with an older girl?"
At that moment, Li Qian looked at Ms. Han Ke as if he were seeing his parents from his past life, who were always urging him to get married.
A black line suddenly appeared on his forehead.
"Ms. Han Ke, please don't joke. Elena is talented, beautiful, wise, and kind. Any guy who wants to marry her will probably have to line up around our Shazhou Beast Mastery University..."
As Li Qian praised Elena, her face grew darker and darker.
Because such a long build-up often means... a twist!
At this moment, she hadn't thought about this aspect yet, but it didn't mean she could accept rejection.
Women are like this!
When they're pursued, they often get rejected, but if they're rejected without hesitation, they'll be remembered for a long time.
As expected, Elena's guess was correct. After Li Qian's long-winded speech, he politely declined, "So I know my place, and I wouldn't dare to have any unrealistic thoughts..."
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? I'm just asking if you can accept a sister-brother romance?" Ms. Han Ke asked with a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.
Li Qian suddenly felt like he had two heads. Besides Ms. Han Ke's ambiguous gaze, he also felt a strange look from someone else.
On this flying companion beast, besides Elena, who else could it be?
Before Li Qian could respond, Ms. Han Ke continued, "Also, how do you know that Elena is wise and kind after knowing her for such a short time?"
"Could it be that you've been secretly admiring her from afar?"
"Haha..." Li Qian was caught off guard and could only laugh it off, saying, "I mainly believe in fate. Age doesn't matter."
As for whether he admired her or not, he kept quiet, as his intuition told him that pursuing this line of questioning would lead to an endless conversation.
"It's good that you think that way. Let me tell you, when it comes to marriage, you must take the initiative. Don't focus solely on your career, because establishing a family is always more important than building a career. Don't be like some people who get older and more famous, but their reputation worsens, and eventually, even matchmakers don't want to come knocking..." Ms. Han Ke advised.
Li Qian smiled awkwardly upon hearing this, "Ms. Han Ke, Elena is still young, so there's no need to rush..."
"She's not that young anymore. She'll be 25 years old in two years, and she'll have her Ph.D. by then!" Ms. Han Ke said with concern.
Hearing this, Li Qian couldn't help but think to himself, 'A female Ph.D. is best avoided...'
At this moment, Elena, who had been listening to the nagging, finally reached her limit. She looked at her mother helplessly, "Mom, don't worry. With my looks and abilities, finding a partner is as easy as pie."
"Then go ahead and find one," Ms. Han Ke said.
Elena was speechless and showed a helpless expression, "I'm currently in a stage of rapid strength improvement, and I just contracted a Tidal Sea Spirit. I don't have the strength or energy to pursue a relationship..."
"You always have the most excuses!" Ms. Han Ke sighed and shook her head.
The Thunder Griffin's speed was quite fast, and by the early morning of the next day, they had returned to Cloudsky City.
After bidding farewell to Ms. Han Ke and Elena, Li Qian checked his emergency communication watch and saw several messages urging him to go to the assembly point.
Without wasting any more time, Li Qian headed straight to the assembly point.
When he arrived, he found that there were only five people left in Cloudsky City, including himself.
Two of them were old acquaintances: one was Ding Ganmao, with whom Li Qian had a good relationship, and the other was a close friend.
"Little Ding, why are you still here?" Li Qian walked over with a smile and greeted him.
Ding Ganmao lowered his voice and said, "We're brothers who have been through thick and thin together. How could I leave without you? And please don't call me Little Ding. If any girls hear that, my lower body and my future will be ruined."
Li Qian covered his mouth and chuckled, "I was just curious and wanted to spend a little more time exploring Cloudsky City..."
