Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 261 Severing ties
Ning Xuan didn't necessarily want Di Youlin to be a slave. In fact, she believed that she treated all the people around her equally, regardless of their status.

However, Di Youlin's situation is very special. Di Youlin's birth mother is notoriously strong-willed. In fact, she committed many evil deeds in order to find a match for Di Youlin. However, the Di family has great power, and these evil deeds were covered up.

Ning Xuan didn't want to deal with Di Youlin's parents; at the very least, she didn't want to have any contact with Madam Wen Yuebai because of anything related to Di Youlin.

Therefore, if Di Youlin insists on following her, she can only have him serve as her slave as a half-beastman; otherwise, she will not want him.

“Master, when my identity was exposed, that was when things went wrong. At that time, everyone thought I wouldn’t survive, so I didn’t have the contract that a half-orc slave should have,” Di Youlin said, glancing at Ning Xuan’s face.

“Then let your parents write one,” Ning Xuan said firmly.

"Master, don't you like me?" Di Youlin looked at her sadly.

“I just don’t want to cause trouble. You coming to my side was never my choice. You’ve done a lot for me during this time, and I haven’t treated you badly either. Now your mental strength is stable and your mutation value is well controlled. With your family’s power, you don’t need to establish a mental link with me to go to the battlefield.”

“Besides, in the Oasis Wonderland, you absorbed a lot of the Spiral Nebula. Those substances will continuously improve your genes. Perhaps, without relying on external forces, you will be able to achieve a perfect transformation between human and beast forms,” Ning Xuan said to Di Youlin.

"No, Master, only by establishing a spiritual link with you and having deeper contact can I possibly eliminate the hidden dangers of the genetic defect, Master..." Before Di Youlin could finish speaking, Yan Fuzhen's voice rang out from outside the door.

"Master, the Di family head and his wife have come to visit and are already waiting in the living room. Would you like to see them?" Yan Fuzhen's voice was tinged with annoyance. The Di family's visiting card had just arrived today, and he hadn't even shown it to the family head yet, and this person had already come to the door.

The normal procedure is to send a visiting card first, and then the host will send an invitation. This is unusual; they just showed up at the door. No one would be happy to be greeted by an uninvited guest.

"Didn't I already say I was going to cultivate behind closed doors? Why did you let people in?" Ning Xuan opened the door and questioned Yan Fuzhen.

“They forced their way in, saying we could wait,” Yan Fuzhen said cautiously.

Ning Xuan gave Di Youlin a disapproving look; he was such a nuisance.

"Let's go, Di Youlin. You can go and see what I mean first. Tell your parents what I'm saying. If they don't agree, you can leave with them." Ning Xuan said to Di Youlin while sending a message to Yu Mingche.

Ning Xuan felt that the wife of the Di family head would not be so easily dismissed, so she had to find outside help.

Yu Mingche also sent a visiting card, originally intending to ask him to come see him tomorrow, but decided to bring it up today.

In addition to sending a message to Yu Mingche, Ning Xuan also sent a message to Ying Yaoshi and the Controllers Protection Association.

"Master, I'll go right now. I'll persuade them to agree," Di Youlin said firmly. Less than ten minutes after Di Youlin left, the intelligent butler 17 cried out in panic, "Master, the intelligent system in the reception area has been attacked! The dome lights are damaged, the aromatherapy on the table is smashed, and the crystal chandelier in the second lighting area has shattered on the floor!" The holographic projection of Intelligent Butler 17 flickered in front of Ning Xuan, its expression unreadable, whether from anger or fear.

Ning Xuan's fingers were operating on the computer screen as she replied to some private messages. She didn't even look up when she heard the smart home assistant's report. "If it's broken, it's broken. We'll replace everything with new ones tomorrow."

"It's over, ah!" The holographic projection suddenly twisted into bizarre geometric shapes, and the image of Butler No. 17 shattered amidst the data fluctuations.

Ning Xuan hissed softly, feeling a bit of toothache. They had hacked her smart home assistant. Well, since they'd come knocking on her door, she couldn't just hide. She had to go and see what they were up to.

As soon as Ning Xuan stepped outside, she saw the people sent by Yan Fuzhen. "Master, Steward Yan has temporarily closed the reception hall and informed the Supervision Department and the Council of State of what happened. Steward Yan said that you are requested to stay away for the time being."

"It's alright, I'll go take a look." Ning Xuan walked towards the reception room.

When Ning Xuan arrived at the reception room, there were two groups of people facing off outside. One group consisted of security personnel hidden in the shadows inside the villa, while the other group was clearly brought by the Di family.

"Mother, you keep saying you're doing this for my own good, so why can't you respect my choices? Do you have to turn me into a monster before you're satisfied?" Di Youlin said aggressively to a woman.

The woman was tall and slender with neat short hair. She wore a silver-gray shirt with a high neckline that accentuated her long neck, purple trousers that hugged her straight, long legs, and a red trench coat over her shoulders. She wore a delicate pearl brooch on her chest and a jade ring on the ring finger of her left hand. The jade was a rare, full-green glass-type jade, with a faint, shimmering luster, like water drawn from a deep pool.

“I’d rather you become a monster than allow you to degenerate. What is she, an orphan girl from a low-level planet, that she dares to make such a request? I don’t even care about social status anymore. I originally planned to meet her today, and if she’s alright, I’ll agree to you establishing a contractual relationship.”

"I never expected her to be so ungrateful."

"I'm so angry!" The woman seemed even angrier than Di Youlin.

"Mother, do you know what you're saying? I'm the one who needs her, I'm the one who begged her to take me in, why are you still acting so high and mighty?" Di Youlin's fingers were trembling, and she looked completely devastated.

“Isn’t it good that you’re like this now? Your mental state is very stable. The Federation has so many controllers, we can find them slowly later. Come back with me.” Wen Yuebai stepped forward and took Di Youlin’s hand.

"I am in such a stable state today thanks to Ning Xuan. Have you forgotten what I was like before?" Di Youlin shook off her hand, his lips trembling.

"Have you forgotten what I looked like as a half-human, half-bird monster? Have you forgotten what I looked like when I was locked underground, waiting to die?"

"Oh, right, you haven't visited me even once since I was imprisoned underground, so of course you don't remember." Di Youlin sneered.

"Originally, according to federal law, children with half-orc genes are automatically separated from their parents. So, from the moment my half-orc genes were exposed, I had no relation to you."
