When a Blade of Grass Wants to Become Immortal

Chapter 218 -214: Interstellar Deserted Star Farm Woman 25

After her discussion with the Agricultural Research Institute concluded, Ji Xiaosong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Rongrong floated over. Seeing Ji Xiaosong stretch, it proactively transformed into a chair for her to sit in.

“Song, it’s a good thing you prepared so thoroughly beforehand. That’s why they couldn’t find our real home. Otherwise, with so many people tracking us, we’d never have a moment of peace.”

“Of course. This girl is a genius.”

“The people from the Agricultural Research Institute seem pretty honest. Are you going to give them more things?”

“Let them thoroughly research what they have first. I already made it clear during our talk that it’s about using spiritual power to separate toxins. Once they find a Fourth-rank Spiritualist, they should contact me again.”

“So… after the Agricultural Research Institute gets results from their research, will they just kick us to the curb?”

“What’s there to be afraid of? The ultimate technique is in my hands, and only I can use Spiritual Power for the separation. But even if they did that, there’d be nothing to regret. That’s just how I am. Once I decide to cooperate, I go in with complete sincerity. If the other party doesn’t hold up their end, I can just cut ties at any time.”

Ji Xiaosong stretched lazily, then slowly went to take a shower and go to bed.

「Meanwhile, on the Main Star, Dai Lixing had been endlessly busy ever since he returned.」

When he occasionally got hungry, he would unconsciously take out food from his Space Button.

When he took out a slice of strawberry cake once again in the middle of the night, he froze completely.

“Xiao Li, when did you make me strawberry cake? Have the toxins been checked?”

Hearing Dai Lixing say this, the Attendant Officer was also completely baffled.

“Marshal, I’ve never made you a cake. You told me before that eating this kind of thing looks girly, so I shouldn’t bring it to you.”

Dai Lixing was a little lost. “Then who prepared these for me?”

“Marshal, should I take it for testing first, to prevent any accidents?”

“Alright.”

The Attendant Officer, Xiao Li, cautiously took the slice of cake, which was enticing in color and gave off a faint strawberry aroma. He gingerly placed it on the testing instrument nearby.

As the instrument started up, rows of data scrolled rapidly, finally stopping on an unbelievable result: 0 radiation, 0 toxins.

Xiao Li’s eyes went wide. He repeatedly confirmed the data on the screen, his mouth slightly agape, as if he could swallow an egg.

“Mar… Marshal, this… this cake, it’s really 0 radiation and 0 toxins! How is that possible? Even our highest interstellar food safety standards can’t achieve this!”

Hearing this, Dai Lixing’s brow furrowed tightly, his eyes revealing a mix of confusion and vigilance.

“Are you sure? The source of this cake is unknown. If someone did this intentionally, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

“I understand, Marshal. But I just tested it with the highest-precision instrument, and the results are correct. Besides, look at the craftsmanship of this cake, its fine texture—it’s far beyond what an ordinary person could make. I’m afraid there’s some technology or power behind this that we don’t know about.”

Xiao Li explained while carefully examining the cake, trying to find more clues.

Dai Lixing stood up, walked over to the testing instrument, and personally scrutinized the data, his brow furrowing even more tightly.

“Forget it. It came from my Space Button, so maybe I brought it back from some unknown star system. But… how could I have forgotten?”

Dai Lixing stared at the data on the screen, the doubt in his heart growing like wild weeds.

He recalled his recent travels, every detail flashing through his mind, but no matter how he tried, he couldn’t remember buying or receiving a cake like this in any star system.

“Marshal, could it be that you’ve been too tired lately, and your memory is a bit fuzzy?”

Xiao Li asked cautiously from the side, afraid of touching a raw nerve with Dai Lixing.

Dai Lixing shook his head and gave a wry smile.

“Maybe. But the appearance of this cake does make me uneasy. Still, since the tests show there’s no problem, well… I might as well try it.”

As he spoke, Dai Lixing reached out, picked up the strawberry cake from the instrument, and sniffed it gently. A faint, pleasant strawberry scent wafted up, making his mouth water.

Although he still had doubts, as a battle-hardened Marshal, he knew that sometimes one had to face the unknown with courage.

“Xiao Li, you have some too. Who knows, this might be a new delicacy from some star system. It would be a shame to miss out.”

Dai Lixing smiled, split the cake in two, and handed a piece to Xiao Li.

Xiao Li was a bit surprised but readily accepted.

He carefully took the cake and took a small bite. Instantly, an unprecedented deliciousness exploded in his mouth.

The sweet fragrance of the strawberries and the soft, fluffy texture of the cake blended perfectly, making him unable to resist taking another bite.

“Marshal, this cake… it’s amazing!” Xiao Li couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

Dai Lixing was also tasting his piece of the cake, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

He had to admit, he was truly won over by the cake’s deliciousness, and his doubts were temporarily tossed to the back of his mind.

“Mm, it really is good. However, we still need to continue investigating the origin of this cake. We can’t ignore the potential risks just because it’s delicious,” Dai Lixing instructed.

“Yes, Marshal.”

After Dai Lixing left, Xiao Li put the rest of the cake into his Space Button.

A cake this delicious was something he couldn’t bear to eat all in one go.

「Ji Xiaosong knew nothing of what was happening with Dai Lixing.」

She continued her daily livestreams and her collaboration with the Agricultural Research Institute.

The talents at the Agricultural Research Institute were truly the best in the interstellar community. The plants Ji Xiaosong provided gave them new avenues for their research.

Although the things they grew still had radiation and toxins, the levels were much lower compared to the native species.

This indicated that the interstellar flora, fauna, and even the air itself contained toxins. To put it bluntly, the environment itself was toxic.

As for how Ji Xiaosong could grow toxin-free plants, although the Agricultural Research Institute was eager to see it for themselves, they were unfortunately refused by Ji Xiaosong and could only temporarily give up the idea.

Ji Xiaosong had previously mentioned using a Fourth-rank Spiritualist to separate toxins, and the joint efforts of the Agricultural Research Institute and the Main Star Research Institute were already showing preliminary results.

They believed that, given time, this line of research would definitely yield results.

Ji Xiaosong continued her livestreams, nurtured her pregnancy, and slowly entered her third trimester.

Thinking about how busy raising a child would be, Ji Xiaosong had to start another livestream to inform everyone that she would be taking a break for a while.

“Everyone, I’m approaching my due date, so for my own health and the growth of my child, I have to take a temporary break from streaming. The Agricultural Research Institute has already developed low-toxin and low-radiation plants. I believe that, given time, even better products will be released to the market.”

This news instantly caused an uproar throughout the interstellar community.
