Huo Yushen did not continue to play coy at this time.
He took out a file bag, threw it to Xia Chujian, and said, "Humanoid slaves are not something ordinary people can own. I got you a special permit as a reward from the Special Security Bureau, qualifying you to own a humanoid slave."
Xia Chujian was completely dumbfounded.
She held the file bag as if she were holding a cluster of hot flames.
Huo Yushen rarely saw Xia Chujian like this and couldn't help but smile slightly, "Surprised? Think you hid it well?"
Hearing this slightly annoying tone, Xia Chujian finally came back to her senses.
She hurriedly opened the file bag, looked at the writing on it, the big red seal below, and the flamboyant signature, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Marshal Huo, other things are fine, but this one thing, I really owe you a favor. Remember, I will unconditionally help you with one thing in the future, a personal matter, within my ability."
Huo Yushen raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean other things are fine? Are the things I've done for you before not worth mentioning?"
Xia Chujian said with confidence: "Those things before were all equivalent exchanges. It's not that they're not worth mentioning, but they didn't make me owe you a favor."
Huo Yushen silently looked at her: "...Is that so? For example, the extra box of Advanced Nutrient Solution quota every month?"
Xia Chujian's waist involuntarily bent.
She said with a self-deprecating smile: "...Well, two, I owe you two favors."
"Is that so? The Lily-of-the-Valley Purple Silk Hat?"
Xia Chujian tremblingly held out three fingers: "Three! No more! I owe you three favors!"
Huo Yushen smiled brightly, revealing his snow-white teeth.
In Xia Chujian's eyes, it was as terrifying as a flood.
This Inspector Huo's smile, in her eyes, was instantly more terrifying than Quan Yuxun's Smile.
Huo Yushen thought about it. He hadn't mentioned the most important point yet. Seeing that Xia Chujian didn't seem to be aware of it, he didn't want her to be too embarrassed, and nodded, "Okay, remember you owe me three favors."
"I also said, it has to be within my ability, and it doesn't violate the laws and regulations of the Beichen Empire, and it doesn't violate the established public order and good customs." Xia Chujian confidently patched up the suggestions she made.
Huo Yushen sneered, "Saying it as if the person who secretly hid the humanoid slave wasn't you..."
This violated the laws and regulations of the Beichen Empire.
Xia Chujian blushed, but still tried to maintain her unyielding posture, and said, "That's different. In my eyes, San Zong is not a slave, he is a human being like us."
Huo Yushen's face sank, and he said, "You can't say these words in front of anyone in the future, even me, or your family, understand?"
Xia Chujian: "..."
She was indeed careless. These words cannot be said in front of outsiders.
The only person she can say it to is her Aunt.
This Huo Yushen has the ability to make her lose her vigilance.
Xia Chujian had to admit it, and once again learned a lesson, bowing and saying, "Yes, I understand, Marshal Huo, I won't do it again in the future."
Huo Yushen "hmm"ed and said, "Sit down, fasten your seat belt, the warplane is about to enter Space Warp mode."
Xia Chujian immediately found a seat and fastened her seat belt.
Then, within a second, all the lights in the warplane went out.
Immediately afterwards, Xia Chujian felt a strong sense of pushing back from the seat.
If she hadn't fastened her seat belt, she would have been completely thrown out and bruised in this room.
In the darkness, Xia Chujian did not speak. Her eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and she could see a little of the outline of the room.
Huo Yushen was still sitting behind the wide desk. He did not look up, but stared at a display screen hanging from the ceiling, not knowing what he was looking at.
Noticing Xia Chujian's gaze, Huo Yushen nodded to her, then withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the display screen.
The display screen did not have the feeling of light shining on it, and Huo Yushen did not know what he was looking at.
Xia Chujian was thinking wildly, as if only for a moment, the light in the room returned.
Xia Chujian looked at the time and realized that ten minutes had passed, not just a few seconds.
She found that when she was in space, her sense of time was often distorted.
Xia Chujian couldn't help but ask, "Marshal Huo, why do I always feel like the time is off?"
Huo Yushen's eyes were deep, "...Time is off?"
Xia Chujian said, "Yes, like when we flew through the Asteroid Belt, was it because we went through a Wormhole? I felt like only a few minutes had passed, but when I looked at the time, it had been several hours."
"Just now too, I felt like only a few seconds had passed, but when I looked at the time, it had been ten minutes."
Huo Yushen frowned, "Just this? You still haven't studied physics properly. When the speed reaches a certain level, it will naturally have some impact on a person's sense of time. This isn't an anomaly, it's common sense."
Xia Chujian: "..."
She felt like Huo Yushen was looking down on her knowledge and IQ again.
Xia Chujian wasn't angry this time, because she knew about Huo Yushen's achievements as a top student back in the day, and she couldn't help but feel more tolerant towards him.
She nodded and said with a relaxed smile, "Thank you, Marshal Huo, for clearing up my confusion. I understand."
Huo Yushen looked at her in surprise, she didn't fly into a rage...
It seemed that life at the Flying Base was having an effect on her.
Huo Yushen stood up and said, "Get ready, you're almost home."
Xia Chujian: "!!!"
This was the best news she had heard in the past two weeks!
Xia Chujian hurriedly unbuckled her seatbelt, stood up, and said, "Thank you, Marshal Huo, for giving me a ride home! Remember to give me a ride back on Monday."
Huo Yushen: "..."
Xia Chujian waved to him cheerfully, and then followed Huo Yushen's subordinate back into the small Flying Vehicle.
Then, when she stood on the steps of her newly built house, she found that the pillars were so short? Not imposing at all.
That was because her reference point had become the detached villa in the Quan Family Manor.
Xia Chujian stood at the door and shouted, "I'm back!"
...
Just a few minutes earlier, it was a little after nine in the morning on Guiyuan Star, on a Saturday.
Because it was the weekend, everyone got up late and had breakfast late.
At this time, they had just finished eating and hadn't left the table yet, eating fruit and gossiping about the week's events.
Starting three minutes ago, Si Xi had been a little uneasy, circling around the dining table, calling "Wu Er Fu", "Wu Er Fu", wanting to run out, but not daring to.
Wu Fu sat in his individual child seat, at the same height as the adults at the dining table, blinking his big eyes, listening attentively to everyone's conversation.
The Housekeeping Robot Liu Shun stood respectfully beside Xia Yuanfang, until several red lights flashed on its eye display, and then it said in a cheerful electronic voice, "The master is back!"
Then it stretched out its long mechanical arm, picked up the Small Dog Si Xi, who was circling under the dining table, placed it on top of its hemispherical mechanical head, and slid out of the dining room.
The remaining people at the table looked at each other, wondering what Liu Shun was doing.
San Zong said in confusion, "Liu Shun said the master is back, who is it referring to? Aunt Xia, or Young Lord?"
Aunt Chen clapped her hands together and said loudly, "Of course it's Chujian! Could it be that she's back?!"
And at this moment, it was when Xia Chujian walked up the steps and shouted "I'm back" at the door.
As soon as she finished speaking, a cylindrical robot slid out of the gate with a round Small Dog on its head.
The Small Dog accidentally fell from the robot's head, rolled happily on the ground, and wagged its little tail frantically at Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian's eyes curved with laughter, and she immediately picked up the Small Dog and played happily with it.
The Small Dog was even more excited, and kept sniffing Xia Chujian with its wet little nose.
Not knowing what scent it smelled, its "Wu Er Fu", "Wu Er Fu" sound gradually became louder and coarser, as if it was growing from a small milk dog's whimpers to a big dog's fierce and irritable barks.
Then, the next second, it flipped over and jumped out of Xia Chujian's arms, landing on the ground.
The morning sun slanted onto the steps of the four white pillars, enveloping Si Xi in its light.
Then, under Xia Chujian's very eyes, the fluffy, round Small Dog seemed to enlarge in proportion, instantly growing from a small puppy with short, flailing legs into a medium-sized dog.
Previously, its shoulder height was less than twenty-five centimeters, making it truly tiny.
Now, its shoulder height suddenly stretched, reaching about forty centimeters.
If this growth had occurred over a long period, the change wouldn't have been so astonishing.
But this Small Si Xi, in less than three seconds, grew from a puppy to the size of a medium-sized dog.
In terms of volume, it doubled in the blink of an eye! Of course, calling it a medium-sized dog based on its shoulder height was an exaggeration.
It was still the adult shoulder height of a small dog.
However, its fur didn't seem to grow in proportion, so it finally wasn't as fluffy as a yarn ball.
Xia Chujian knelt down in surprise, stroking Small Si Xi's head, and said, "Si Xi, you finally have a waistline!"
Si Xi: "...Wu... Woof!"
Xia Chujian clicked her tongue. "Even your bark has become a big dog's bark!"
At this moment, the Big Black Dog also slowly strolled out.
Its shoulder height was eighty centimeters, which was very tall even for an extra-large dog.
The Small Dog tried hard to grow, but it was still only half its height.
Indeed, there's no harm like comparison.
Xia Chujian suddenly felt that Small Si Xi was still her cute Small Dog.
Then, more and more people came out of the dining room and gathered in front of the gate.
Zhu Yingying said happily, "Chujian, it really is you who's back!"
Aunt Chen and Xia Yuanfang walked together, smiling as they watched the two sisters holding hands.
If Zhu Yingying was observed closely, she already had more of a humanoid appearance, but she still had two fluffy white cat ears on her head.
