Chapter 184 [184] Not easily defeated by fate

With a look of tenderness, Mu Xingyue reached out her hands and gently but firmly helped Dongfang Qingluan up from the ground.

Her gaze was fixed on the haggard, pitiful female before her, her voice trembling slightly with emotion, the sobs seeming to burst from her throat: "Qingluan... after going through so many trials and tribulations, do you have any specific plans for the future?"

After a brief pause, Mu Xingyue took a deep breath and continued, "I still choose to stay here and work hard in this flower shop every day."

"How about we change our environment and go to the Luo family with Bao'er, join hands with her, and create a world of your own, achieving something great together?"

As she said this, a hint of expectation appeared in Mu Xingyue's eyes.

Because deep in her heart, she firmly believed that a female as strong as Dongfang Qingluan would never wallow in pain for long, nor would she be easily defeated by fate.

At this moment, Dongfang Qingluan was as delicate and powerless as a withered lotus in the wind. She slowly leaned her body against Mu Xingyue's warm shoulder, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam, wetting Mu Xingyue's clothes.

Even so, she still managed to lift her head, gazing at Mu Xingyue with eyes brimming with tears yet unwavering determination, and replied resolutely, "Holy Lady, please rest assured!"

"I have decided to go to the Luo family and work together with Luo Bao'er to strive and fight with all my might to create a great and earth-shattering career!"

“I know you hope that I can get rid of the shadow of sadness as soon as possible and regain my spirits.”

"Therefore, no matter how rugged and bumpy the road ahead may be, I will never let you down!"

She was deeply moved. She was fortunate to have caught the eye of the Holy Mother. Even though her father and mother had abandoned her, she was still able to live a good life.

"Silly girl, it's so good that you think that way!"

Mu Xingyue looked at the girl in front of her, who was gradually growing up, with a face full of satisfaction, and said softly, "You know, females can also hold up half the sky!"

"Once you embark on your own path, it will be like opening a door to a brand new world, full of endless possibilities and surprises, waiting for you to explore and discover."

Mu Xingyue had always been very concerned about Dongfang Qingluan's condition, and had secretly worried that this young girl might fall into confusion and be unable to extricate herself because of certain past events and the death of her parents.

However, seeing that Dongfang Qingluan clearly knew her true inner desires, she could finally relax a little.

"What the Holy Mother says is absolutely right."

Dongfang Qingluan raised her head and responded to Mu Xingyue's expectations with a firm gaze. Although tears were welling up in her eyes, she still tried her best to remain calm.

"The deceased are gone, and no matter how sad and reluctant we are to let them go, life must go on."

"In that case, let me take over the mission that Father has not yet completed. Even if the road ahead is rugged and difficult, I will not back down even a step!"

After saying that, Dongfang Qingluan bit her lip tightly, as if she was cheering herself on.

Dongfang Qingluan's face still bore the lingering sorrow, her eyes red and swollen, traces of grief for her deceased father.

Mu Xingyue sighed softly, slowly stepped forward, her voice gentle yet carrying an undeniable strength: "Qingluan, I know you are suffering. Your father's departure was like a bolt from the blue. Your father was an upright man throughout his life, and he would be very happy to see you pull yourself together from heaven."

Dongfang Qingluan trembled slightly, raised her head, and a struggle flashed in her eyes.

Recalling my father's earnest teachings when he was alive, his words about responsibility, courage, and commitment still seem to echo in my ears.

Father always said that their Eastern family bore the mission of protecting the balance of the Starry Sky Empire, and there was no room for retreat or slackness. "Holy Mother, I..."

Dongfang Qingluan hesitated, as if something was stuck in her throat.

Mu Xingyue held her hand tightly, as if trying to transfer strength to her: "I understand, this is difficult. But now the entire interstellar space is lacking in greenery, leading to the deterioration of the ecological environment. We need you to work together to change the ecological environment."

“Luo Bao’er is already working hard for our common goal. If you can join us, we will be even more powerful.”

The image of Luo Bao'er, so fiery yet so resolute, appeared in Dongfang Qingluan's mind.

Luo Bao'er, a woman who appears weak but possesses an iron will, studies planting techniques day and night and travels around to contact like-minded people in order to change the green plants and ecology of the entire interstellar space.

“Holy Mother, I am honored to be able to participate in the cultivation and planting of green plants.”

Dongfang Qingluan gritted her teeth, as if she had finally made up her mind.

The moment she uttered those words, she felt an unprecedented surge of power welling up inside her—a promise to her father and a renewed sense of control over her own destiny.

Mu Xingyue's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. A relieved smile appeared on her face: "In this way, we will have a right-hand man."

“If Luo Bao’er helps me with my work, we will definitely be able to make a name for ourselves in this complex environment and protect everything we cherish.”

In the days that followed, Dongfang Qingluan quickly threw herself into training.

To succeed in farming, one must have a healthy body and the ability to protect oneself.

She gets up before dawn every day to practice the family's martial arts in the training ground at the base.

She gradually became adept at using those complex incantations through repeated recitation and practice.

Each surge of spiritual energy felt like the protection and encouragement of my father's spirit in heaven.

Upon learning that Dongfang Qingluan had joined the army, Luo Bao'er hurriedly returned to the capital.

As soon as she saw Dongfang Qingluan, she stepped forward and gave her a big hug: "Qingluan, that's great! From now on, we'll be good sisters fighting side by side."

The three of them sat together, discussing how to deal with the huge demand for greenery across the entire galaxy.

Luo Bao'er unfolded a yellowed map of the entire interstellar continent, marked with the fertile lands of various empires.

“Look, these are the most fertile lands in their respective empires. We need to find a way to persuade them to lend us the land so we can cultivate seedlings and reduce the time spent on transportation.”

She only wanted to reduce costs and improve efficiency, and she believed that Mu Xingyue could make the various empires that had needs compromise.

Mu Xingyue's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea! Let's split up and act without delay."

“Bao’er, continue to contact people who are willing to cultivate green seedlings to expand our team.”

"Qingluan, you will be in charge of allocating the seeds, while I will be responsible for stabilizing the situation in the various empires, dealing with all forces, and finalizing the land issue as soon as possible."
