Chapter 9: Planting Plants In The Yard
Immediately, she discovered there was something uncomfortable in the soil of the yard. She directly channeled her spiritual power to purify that bad thing.
“Phew, alright, now we can plant.”
Shi An’an’s face was somewhat pale, but fortunately, she had purified all the soil in the yard. Now, planting the plants would be no problem.
Shi Xiaoxiao followed Shi An’an’s instructions, carefully planting each plant in the yard, then watering each one with water mixed with nutrient solution.
Actually, Shi An’an didn’t like the nutrient solution here. “Sorry to put you through this. Once my cultivation level improves, I’ll definitely give you a spiritual rain!”
“Rustle rustle”
As if hearing Shi An’an’s words, all the plants happily swayed.
“So beautiful, Miss An’an. Can I take a photo?” Shi Xiaoxiao asked.
“Of course.” Shi An’an looked satisfied at the yard finally having a touch of vitality, with the air filled with the fresh scent of plants.
“Right, the plants for Father and Mother, and the brothers—I’ve portioned them out. Xiao Xiao, help me mail them later.”
“Got it, Miss An’an.”
After giving the instructions, Shi An’an returned to her room to prepare to place an order for some other seeds. She felt the yard should have some other kinds of flowers added.
“Click.” Shi Xiaoxiao took a photo and sent it to the Shi Family group chat.
“The plants Miss An’an planted are so beautiful. Pay attention to check for the package Miss An’an is mailing to you later.”
Shi Anlei was the first to see the photo. “!!! What is this?”
Then Mother Shi’s instruction quickly came to Shi Xiaoxiao. “Xiao Xiao, open the protective shield.”
Upon receiving Mother Shi’s instruction, Shi Xiaoxiao immediately opened the Shi Family’s protective shield. Instantly, a transparent protective shield slowly rose, enveloping the entire sky above the Shi Family.
At this moment, people outside could no longer see anything inside the protective shield, and all auras were isolated.
In the interstellar era, every household had a protective shield. One reason was for privacy, and the other was to guard against sudden attacks from star beasts or enemies.
Of course, protective shields had different functions, distinguished between ordinary and advanced.
The Shi Family’s protective shield was personally designed by Shi Anyu. Besides the highest-level anti-spying protection, it had the most comprehensive defense functions and the most advanced attack system…
“Xiao Xiao, did An’an plant this?”
“I’ve only been away a few days, how did so many plants appear?”
“Xiao Xiao, you didn’t buy these, right? No, these plants are growing so well—must have cost a lot. Does An’an have enough money?”
Shi Xiaoxiao: “Miss An’an personally planted all these. The seeds were bought.”
Getting the confirmed answer, Shi Anlei got even more excited, jumping around in the group chat, persistently asking questions.
“My little sister is amazing. She actually grew such beautiful green plants. That yellow flower—I want that yellow flower!”
“Xiao Xiao, mail me the yellow flower. I think yellow matches my aura perfectly!”
Shi Anlei desperately called out to Shi Xiaoxiao, but Shi Xiaoxiao had no time to deal with him right now, as she was communicating with Mother Shi.
At this time in the sanatorium, Mother Shi looked solemnly at the plants in the yard, asking Shi Xiaoxiao to take close-up shots.
After confirming multiple times that these were indeed personally cultivated by her little daughter, Mother Shi felt both shocked and proud.
It seemed her daughter’s talent in planting was amazing, just like her father’s…
Looking up at her husband, thin as a withered tree on the sickbed, Mother Shi’s eyes were full of tenderness. “Zhen Guang, our daughter not only looks like you, but even her talent is the same as yours…”
The man on the sickbed lay quietly, eyes tightly closed, his furrowed brows showing he was enduring the pain of mental power collapse at every moment.
Even so, the man’s features remained elegant and handsome. If Shi An’an were here, she would definitely recognize him as her father, because their faces were so similar.
Father Shi was now emaciated from long-term mental power collapse, while Shi An’an was sallow and thin from childhood malnutrition—similar features, similar sickly thinness.
Fortunately, Shi An’an’s spiritual power was recovering bit by bit now. She used her spiritual power to nourish her body, and her body was gradually improving.
“Alright, that’s enough.” Mother Shi signaled Shi Xiaoxiao could stop filming.
“By the way, did Xin Xin come home today?” Mother Shi remembered her eldest daughter had training ending today and was coming home, unsure if the two had met.
“Miss Xin Xin has already returned and met Miss An’an…” Then, Shi Xiaoxiao recounted everything from their meeting to their conversation to Mother Shi.
Hearing what her little daughter had said, Mother Shi was deeply moved. She hadn’t expected An’an, raised in such an environment since childhood, to have such a broad mindset.
She had originally planned that if the two daughters could get along harmoniously, that would be wonderful, but if they were hostile to each other, she would forcibly separate them.
Letting them develop in their respective fields, not interfering with each other.
But from the current situation, it seemed the two could get along harmoniously.
Mother Shi slightly relaxed, but still instructed Shi Xiaoxiao to continue observing them and report any changes immediately.
“Got it, Madam, please rest assured.” Shi Xiaoxiao promised, then began packing the plants Miss An’an had left earlier to mail to the other Shi Family members.
“Packages have been sent out. Please check for them.”
After a long wait, Shi Anlei saw Shi Xiaoxiao finally send a message and persistently asked, “Xiao Xiao, did you send me that yellow flower? I want the yellow flower!”
“If you didn’t send it, I’ll ask my sister for it!”
Shi Xiaoxiao finally replied, “Third Young Master, it’s the yellow flower. Please don’t disturb Miss An’an’s rest; she’s very tired.”
“Oh oh, got it.” Hearing his sister was tired, Shi Anlei immediately backed off.
Afterward, a scene appeared at the Capital Star Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Colonel Shi, mad and sharp-tongued externally but humorous and witty internally, asked the gate guard over and over if there was his express package.
This scene piqued the curiosity of his colleagues.
Shi Anlei was very famous in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs—no, probably throughout the interstellar realm.
Originally, Shi Anlei studied in the Command Department. In school, he battled with his sharp tongue everywhere. In every exchange match, whenever this guy encountered Empire students, regardless of good or bad, he unleashed full verbal output, sharper than a woman’s mouth!
It was also for this reason that Ministry of Foreign Affairs Minister Lin Min took a liking to him at first glance and directly recruited him after graduation.
And the newborn calf unafraid of tigers—Shi Anlei, who had just entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs a few months after graduation, became known to everyone in the Federation and Empire during his first diplomatic negotiation with the Empire.
It was because in the solemn live stream, Shi Anlei couldn’t tolerate the other side’s overreach. Unable to hold back, he went up and slapped them hard, then unleashed a barrage of unprintable words, catching them off guard, and finally got them to sign an “unreasonable” agreement in a daze.
From then on, Shi Anlei became the darling of the Federation people, the rotten egg of the Empire people.
