Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 256 My Own Choice
After sighing, Yu Mingche slowly sat up. His limbs moved normally, and his body was still long and slender with well-proportioned bones. However, his muscle lines had not yet returned to their previous perfect shape.

He wore a light blue robe embroidered with intricate patterns, which gave the simple garment a luxurious feel.

Yu Mingche picked up the mirror from the bedside and looked at himself in the mirror. His chestnut brown, medium-length hair fell smoothly down, and his dark, fox-like eyes were deep and mysterious as they turned, sparkling and captivating as if filled with starlight.

Her skin was delicate and fair, her lips were bright red, her nose was high and straight, and her jawline was exquisite. Her face was still the same as before.

On the new planet, he failed to activate his skill and was exposed by Ning Xuan. He briefly transformed into human form to test Ning Xuan's reaction. He still remembers the way she looked at him. Although she was angry and shocked, her eyes were still uncontrollably glued to him.

Judging from Ning Xuan's reaction, she is satisfied with her appearance.

However, she was too young. The others around her were also very strong and good-looking. Ning Xuan, on the other hand, was young, had a strong bloodline talent, and a high level of spiritual power. What was even more remarkable was that she treated those around her who she recognized with kindness and loyalty.

Yu Mingche recalled the feeling of being held by Ning Xuan as a little fox. Being held in her arms, he felt an extremely safe feeling that he had never experienced before.

From the time he could remember, he carried his father's expectations and worked hard to cultivate in order to achieve the goals set by his father. He became famous at a young age, passed the examiner's test early, and became a key figure in charge of a region.

Everyone only sees his halo, but who knows how much effort he put in behind the scenes?
During his seven years in power in the chaotic starry sky, he relied on precise calculations to monitor every node. The dome of the star track monitoring room projected 36,500 points of light, and Yu Mingche can still recall the way those points of light kept flashing when he closes his eyes.

In the first few years, things were alright, but in the following years, he felt that his mental state was on the verge of collapse at any time. Fortunately, after stepping down, he learned that Ning Xuan liked furry little animals, which led to his action of attaching his soul to the body of his companion spirit and entering the new planet.

Yu Mingche sat on the bed, lost in thought, occasionally a smile appearing on his face. After some time, Feng Linran knocked on the door and entered without receiving a response.

After Feng Linran entered, the curtains opened automatically, letting in light. Yu Mingche raised his hand to shield his eyes.

Feng Linran held a wooden tray with neatly folded clothes on it. He placed the clothes on the bed, knelt down beside the bed, and helped Yu Mingche change his clothes.

Yu Mingche lazily let him do as he pleased. Feng Linran dressed him and put on his shoes. "Let's go, it's time to eat."

“Linran, you seemed off when you picked me up today,” Yu Mingche said, looking into Feng Linran’s eyes.

“You shouldn’t have treated Ning Xuan that way,” Yu Mingche said, his tone somewhat displeased.

“My lord, thinking of the suffering you’ve endured these past six months, it’s hard for me not to feel emotional when I’m facing her.” Feng Linran’s eyes swept over Yu Mingche’s abdomen, which was flat and showed no abnormalities.

"I already said, this is my own choice, my own desire, how can you take your anger out on others?" Yu Mingche smiled lightly.

"Besides, even if I wanted to, I might not be able to get what I wanted." Yu Mingche wanted to sigh again. High-quality women are rare to begin with, let alone a high-quality and young woman like Ning Xuan.

“I don’t understand. With your achievements and bloodline talent, you could easily apply to establish a mutual bond with a matchmaker. Once a mutual bond is established, the woman usually bears the responsibility of bearing offspring. Why do you have to bear this burden yourself?” Feng Linran couldn’t understand Yu Mingche’s actions. “Have you not even looked at Ning Xuan’s information?” Yu Mingche stopped and looked at Feng Linran.

“She comes from a low-level planet. Although she awakened late, she has great potential. She also won the championship in the Alchemist Competition. I know that, but so what? You are a seventh-level governor of the Federation.” Feng Linran looked at Yu Mingche with confusion.

"It's my fault. I didn't tell you about the information being blocked." Yu Mingche smiled suddenly.

“Ning Xuan has awakened the only legendary companion spirit in the entire Federation. Her bloodline is that of a god.” Yu Mingche’s voice was not loud, but it made Feng Linran’s expression change instantly.

"Divine bloodline?" Feng Linran felt his steps falter.

"Help me prepare. Tomorrow, I'm going to deliver some things to the Qingluan Mountain villa. I'll send you the list later," Yu Mingche instructed.

"Yes, my lord," Feng Linran replied somewhat blankly.

Villa No. 17, Qingluan Mountain

It was lunchtime when Lan Xin ran into the restaurant with a pale face. He saw Ning Xuan eating and walked straight towards her.

"What's wrong with you? You look so pale?" Ning Xuan asked.

"Master, the people from the Orc Management Bureau said they want me to go to the battlefield. Master, I only want to stay by your side. Please let me stay." Lan Xin knelt in front of Ning Xuan, crying in fear.

"Isn't going to the battlefield a good thing? As long as you make meritorious contributions, you will have the opportunity to break free from slavery, achieve success, and improve your social status and personal prestige. Isn't this an opportunity that all orcs yearn for?" Ning Xuan asked somewhat strangely.

Due to genetic defects, orcs are prone to mental outbursts and loss of control over their mutation levels. Only by staying with female spirit controllers with high mental strength can they reduce the risk of mental outbursts and loss of control over their mutation levels. Therefore, orcs are instilled with the idea that they will become slaves when they grow up from birth.

Under this ideological control, a seemingly bright future was set for them: as long as their mental strength level reached 2s and their mental strength state remained stable, they could have corresponding equipment implanted in their bodies to monitor the degree of mental strength riot and abnormality, and then go to the battlefield to perform missions.

By performing tasks and establishing merit, they could earn the opportunity to escape slavery.

"I don't want to, Master. I just want to stay by your side." Lan Xin shook her head, somewhat devastated.

Lan Xin was very alarmed. Normally, even if a half-orc stayed by his master's side for more than 10 years, he would not have the opportunity to leave his master. He had only been here for less than a year.

"Don't be afraid. Your innate skills are very powerful on the battlefield, and your mental strength is also very strong. You will definitely be invincible on the battlefield and will soon be able to make great achievements. Moreover, in the early stages of going to the battlefield, you won't be sent to very far places."
