Transmigrated into a useless female in interstellar space, she won big by picking up an SSS-level be

Wu Zhan was even more shocked and jumped up from his seat.

"Xiaxia? Didn't the news from the front lines say you were resting? When did you get back? How did you get back?"

Jiang Zhixia glanced at the chair, immediately shoved her father back, plopped down in it, and slumped over.

"I teleported back. Jiang Ting and my mecha are both damaged. They need special materials to repair them, and transporting them is too slow, so I came back to get them myself."

"..."

Jiang Lin and Wu Zhan both fell silent.

They exchanged a glance and saw the same emotion in each other's eyes—unease.

This ability to disappear and reappear out of thin air is truly amazing.

But they still don't know what their daughter has to pay to use this ability.

Wu Zhan frowned, leaned down and asked his daughter, "Won't this ability cause any problems?"

Jiang Zhixia shook her head: "Father, Mother, don't worry, everything will be alright."

That's what she said, but actually, she was too tired to stand up at all.

The system's reminder was not without reason. She had fought for two days and used teleportation, and now she felt weak and empty all over.

The big white flower is full, but the energy consumed through the system's transformation is not just mental energy.

It seems she still needs to take a nap, otherwise she might really die from overwork.

The system, whose energy was almost completely depleted, looked like a starving ghost the moment it saw Wu Zhan.

It beeped.

【Host… I sense you’re quite tired right now… How about this, your father is right here, he doesn’t need to go to the battlefield, how about we absorb a little bit, just a tiny bit of his life force, to replenish your own strength?】

The leaders of various countries have very high luck!

It wanted to speak as soon as it saw Mo Chenyuan, but since Jiang Zhixia didn't mean it that way, it didn't dare to say anything.

But now Wu Zhan is right in front of us, and this emperor's luck value is much higher than Mo Chenyuan's!

I'm so hungry for it!

Jiang Zhixia: "..."

If the system had a physical form, it would probably be drooling over its father right now, judging from the tone it's using.

She refused firmly: "No, I'm not going to die yet."

The system silently shut up.

Jiang Zhixia looked at the screen: "Mother, where are you?"

Jiang Lin smiled and said, "I'm here next to your friend."

Before Jiang Zhixia could react to what her mother meant, a furry head suddenly popped into view next to the screen.

"Princess!!!!"

Chen Li's face filled the screen instantly, looking at her with those big, pitiful eyes.

"I haven't seen you in so long! I've missed you so much!"

"Chen Li!" Jiang Zhixia's eyes welled up with tears when she saw her best friend. "Why are you with your mother?"

Chen Li looked at her with tears in her eyes, explaining in a clear voice, "I'm currently with the Queen, investigating in the civilian areas of the outer star system! Princess, when are you coming back? Is the war on the front lines still going?"

Jiang Zhixia buried her head in her work and calculated, "I estimate that the frontline will be completely over in seven days at the earliest, and half a month at the latest. Wait for me to come back!"

Chen Li nodded frantically, her eyes brimming with tears.

It's been almost half a year since the princess went to the front lines, and she hasn't been able to see her. At most, she can only send messages through special communication channels.

She sniffed, then broke into a sweet smile and said crisply, "Princess, I've exceeded expectations in completing all the tasks you assigned me!"

Jiang Lin listened from the side, her usually serious face unable to hide a smile, and nodded slightly.

"Xiaxia, during the time you were away, Chen Li did a lot for me. We went to many star fields, visited the grassroots females, gathered them to form an alliance, and broke away from those protection agencies that were just for show."

She paused, took a deep breath, seemingly relieved, yet also wistful.

"Most noblewomen from the families have already agreed to the proposed amendments to the Female Protection Law. Before long, the first batch of work facilities targeting lower-class females will be opened."

When Jiang Zhixia heard this news, she felt a lump in her throat.

In her original plan, this matter would be pushed forward step by step after she gained enough military power from the battlefield.

She was even prepared to argue with those conservative aristocratic women.

But now, her mother and Chen Li have already walked most of the way for her.

Moreover, the fact that most noble females agreed to the proposal means what?

This means that the noblewomen had known about the problem all along.

No one is willing to be the first to stand up and tear off the mask that "females are born to be protected".

"That's great..." she murmured.

Wu Zhan reached out and ruffled her hair: "Don't worry, after the war, the entire empire will be different."

Jiang Zhixia nodded vigorously.

With limited time available for communication, she only had time to exchange a few more words with her mother and Chen Li.

The screen dimmed, and Wu Zhan turned to her: "Xiaxia, what's the situation at the front?"

Jiang Zhixia composed herself: "Jiang Ting and Lu Jue should have sent back the battle report. Apart from that mutated insect queen, nothing special happened... Oh, there is something they probably didn't report. Cough, they might not know about it, so they didn't report it."

As she spoke, her expression became somewhat awkward.

"What is it?"

"It's... Mu Huaye, he ran away."

"...ran away?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhan asked with a very puzzled expression, "Didn't he love you so much he'd risk his life for you? Would he really leave you?"

"...?"

She asked back with a hint of helplessness, "Father, you actually believe him when he says he admires me?"

Wu Zhan: "..."

To be honest, he didn't believe it at first.

However, Mu Huaye's persona of "falling in love with the princess at first sight" had been maintained for so long that he believed it to some extent.

After all, isn't it normal for a woman to attract men because she's so outstanding, beautiful, and capable?

"Ahem, where did he run off to? He managed to escape from the front lines, that's quite an achievement."

"He...has recovered and is now in the Federation."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhan's expression turned serious.

"He's recovered? This is troublesome... Qiao Yan has been able to maintain his position as leader all these years because Mu Huaye has been protecting him. Now that Mu Huaye has recovered and returned to the Federation, could it be that he's conspiring with that old snake to bite the Empire back..."

"No," Jiang Zhixia interrupted him, "he won't."

If others don't know, how could she not know?

After Mu Huaye was reborn, he didn't kill Qiao Yan; he simply wanted to get the scales back.

Now that Qiao Yan's scales are useless, he will definitely not listen to Qiao Yan.

Thinking of this, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

Mu Huaye had always been plotting to take advantage of her.

At first, he used the insectoid race to kidnap her and research how to kill Jiang Lian; later, when he went to the capital planet, he used her to lure Jiang Lian out; and later still, he kept hiding the future disaster and used his "love" for her as an excuse to stay in the empire to save his life.

Now that they have artificial scales, they don't need to protect themselves anymore. Even if she forcibly enters into a contract with them, they still turn around and run away.

Although she had thought about using Mu Huaye... she only ever thought about it in her mind and never actually did it.

She didn't touch Mu Huaye even though his body underwent several transformations, let alone allow Su Chen to research artificial scales.

...White-eyed snake.
