86: Turn into a blue pearl

"Marry whom?"

Ao Ao asked Tu Nan.

Tu Nan gently pushed Li out of the room, and she stood by the door watching Li.

Li did not resist. He thought to himself: If I let Tu Nan calm down first, she will come to understand. As long as I give him a little time, one day he will give Tu Nan an explanation.

He knew Tu Nan would be a bit sad, but he also believed Tu Nan could understand his helplessness.

After hesitating for a moment, Li left.

He walked across the courtyard and out the main gate.

That dark brown courtyard gate closed before Tu Nan's eyes.

This might be the final farewell...

The thoughts in Tu Nan's mind were diametrically opposed to what Li assumed.

Li was indeed her first support in this world.

He bought her, embraced her, and he had also once clumsily been good to her. They lived together and even had a pair of cute Children.

If she had met Li in her previous world, would they still have a future, and would she just endure it like this?

Tu Nan lowered her head.

No, in that world, she would never have had such a beginning with Li.

"Daddy is going to marry someone else. It's okay, Mommy will take you both away. We agreed on this, didn't we?" Tu Nan replied to Ao Ao's question, not forgetting to comfort the Children.

Ao Ao did not understand; the Child's question pointed straight to the core, "Why does Daddy have to marry someone else? Can't he think of a way?"

Tu Nan twitched the corners of her mouth.

Exactly, things that even the Children could know, yet Li hadn't thought of them?

Fortunately, she had already made arrangements.

Taking out the new bracelet, she put it on familiarly. After identity authentication, she dialed a number.

Even though it was the middle of the night, the communication was answered immediately.

A sweet and enthusiastic female voice reached Tu Nan's ears.

"Hello, Hongtu Aviation is at your service~ May I ask if you need to book a flight or a hotel?"

"Ah, hello. I saw that you temporarily added a flight from Sand Star to Xiuyin Star?" Tu Nan chatted with the customer service representative skillfully.

"...Yes, that is truly lucky. I have long wanted to visit Xiuyin Star. The voyage is too long, but fortunately, there is a luxury flight, so I made up my mind."

"Yes, one month. No problem."

"Two VIP tickets."

"For me and my daughter, Blue Pearl, Blue Huai En, our ID numbers are..."

"Your VIP tickets provide a pick-up service, right? Please go to this coordinate... Tomorrow afternoon, hmm, three o'clock."

She would not wait even one extra day.

Sheng Ranran?

These arrogant noble Young Misses, the Sheng Family background is not very clean. How could they possibly let Tu Nan live?

For a Foster Mother, they could just find any excuse, and she could die silently.

Li could compromise once, and naturally, he could compromise a second time.

As for excuses, there have always been many.

If it were just to escape, she could choose to fly to another planet, but her goal was not just that.

Therefore, it had to be this flight.

Because—Kong Jiamu was on it.

Hongtu Aviation was precisely one of the industries owned by the Kong Family.

As a famous commercial Family in the Empire, the most important industry of the Kong Family was air transportation and tourism. As the youngest Child in the Family, Kong Jiamu did not go into business but instead entered the military, and initially, he did not receive full support from the Family.

Until he gained the attention of the Emperor.

Kong Jiamu was regarded as a rising force favored by Emperor Haoyuan, and the Kong Family began to fully support him from then on. The Emperor was also very tolerant of his occasional unconventional behavior.

This time, he finished his military service and was returning to the Capital City to report for duty. Disliking the poor comfort of military starships, the Kong Family actually had a luxury starship add a stop midway to specifically come to Sand Star to pick him up?

Everyone was used to it; Lisa just shared it as gossip with Tu Nan.

Tu Nan just smiled slightly at that time.

What she thought of was how fate plays tricks on people. Two 5%s appeared before her eyes, and then successively drifted away from her.

At that time, she never expected that after such a short time, she would go back on her word and take the initiative to get involved with both of them.

A luxury starship, a super-long one-month journey.

Should be enough? Tu Nan pondered.

She packed the things she had to bring, but found that there wasn't actually much. That bracelet, plus the biological Soft Armor, and a small dagger.

Surprisingly... it was exactly the same as the things she brought when she escaped from River Valley.

Only with two more Children.

Tu Nan smiled very warmly. It was different after all; this was the weight of her life.

* * * The next morning, Tu Nan knocked on Lisa's courtyard gate.

"I want to ask you for a favor."

Tu Nan smiled very craftily and handed a wrapped small gift box to Lisa.

"Li's birthday is coming up, and I ordered a gift for him."

"There will be a grand ceremony that day. I will hide first, and when the ceremony music starts, please help me take the gift to Li. I want to give him a surprise, okay?"

"Hahaha, you two are so romantic. Where is the ceremony being held? What music?"

"The venue is still being decorated, and the invitations are also being made; I'll send them to you later~ As for the music... you definitely won't mistake it when the time comes." Tu Nan kept her in suspense.

"You, really. You're not afraid I'll mess it up for you! Alright, don't worry!"

Lisa readily agreed, and she was overjoyed to participate in this lively event. Seeing the cracks in the relationship between Tu Nan and Li, she was hoping very much that the young couple could properly repair it.

Tu Nan returned home leisurely, had lunch, pushed out the stroller with a cover, beckoned the two furry balls to sit in the stroller, and pushed the stroller out the door.

"Going out?" Gaia just happened to enter the door and greeted her.

Tu Nan glanced at him, "Buying some clothes for the Children, waiting to dress them up to give Li a surprise. You are not allowed to leak it."

Gaia was a little surprised; it seemed Tu Nan intended to reveal the matter of the Children changing stages as a surprise. He nodded and agreed.

Tu Nan suddenly leaned close to him and earnestly urged him, "If you want what's best for me, you must not tell Li, okay? Remember?"

Gaia scratched his ear, feeling puzzled. No, why would he do that?

Tu Nan had already pushed the Children out the door, and she said to the Children, "Say goodbye to Uncle Gaia."

The two little ones were howling and barking in the stroller, and Gaia found it amusing.

"Goodbye, goodbye."

Thus, Tu Nan pushed the Children to the commercial district, found a restroom that no one noticed, and slipped inside.

Locking the door, she changed the cover on the stroller to a different color, then quickly changed into a set of clothes and took out a whole set of cosmetics.

Facing the mirror, she called out to the System that had been quiet for a long time.

【System, redeem rewards.】

The System responded to her quickly, as if it had been waiting for this moment.

【host appearance + 30%, charm + 50%, body flexibility + 60%, and additionally, you can transform into the initial form of a Cat Beastkin. Confirm redemption?】

【Redeem.】

Soon, the figure in the mirror changed.

That kind of change could not be described exactly. The 30% change in appearance turned Tu Nan into a Female Beast who looked somewhat like her original self but was more beautiful.

Tu Nan touched her face and examined it carefully; that was probably similar to the upper limit a person could achieve through plastic surgery.

She quickly took out cosmetics and touched up her face.

Gradually, the weak and delicate nature of the original Tu Nan completely faded away. After the full lip gloss was applied, what appeared in the mirror... was an incomparably bright and beautiful face.

— — The Cat Beastkin named Blue Pearl revealed a charming smile.

So, here I come!

Kong Jiamu.
