Ling Yaoyao slept in a daze. Ling Xuan changed her position to a more intimate position-sitting on his lap with her head resting on his chest, but she never woke up.
During the long talks, when Ling Xuan was occasionally required to make opinions, his words were concise and he deliberately lowered his voice.
In order to prevent Ling Xuan from being upset, other people also tried their best to restrain their volume when speaking.
As the host, Bai Xun was very empathetic and said, "I don't know if I need to provide a separate lounge for Miss Ling..."
Ling Xuan just glanced at him indifferently and simply shook his head.
Bai Xun knew that this must be because Ling Xuan loved the girl so much, and he still could not believe him.
Bai Xue was very jealous and whispered, "She likes sleeping so much. Isn't it better to stay at home?"
As soon as she said this, Ling Xuan immediately looked at her coldly.
His eyes were so cold that Bai Xue's back was a little chilly.
Even her big brother, Bai Xun, who was usually very indulgent and pampered her, gave her a warning look.
Bai Xun's confidant and subordinates, who were usually dedicated to Bai Xue, looked at Ling Xuan from time to time with envious eyes. Their gazes, which occasionally secretly looked at Ling Yaoyao, were fiery.
Such a pure human girl with an exquisite look! Don't say in Helen, even in the human starfield, she is also a top heavenly girl!
They knew it was impossible to snatch someone from Ling Xuan, but it was always good to have a few more glances.
The men's eyes became much colder when they looked at the arrogant and willful Miss Bai. They felt that this woman's appearance and temperament were not as good as Miss Ling's.
Although Bai Xue was spoiled, she still had some ability to observe words and people's attitudes. She immediately became more and more annoyed at Ling Yaoyao. It was all because of the appearance of this woman. She robbed her of thousands of favors.
At this time, not only did she want to get Ling Xuan, but she also wanted to get rid of Ling Yaoyao!
The evil and vicious thoughts flashed by, but Bai Xue didn't show it on her face anymore. Instead, she closed her eyes and buried them in her heart.
In Helen, where fish and dragons are mixed, it is too easy to make a person disappear, especially for pure-blood females. As long as Ling Yaoyao leaves Ling Xuan's side, she will have a chance!
At the end of the discussion, Bai Xun asked his people to prepare the resources needed by Ling Xuan. They agreed to deliver the goods for inspection tomorrow.
Ling Xuan and his group needed to live in the main city of Helen for a day. Bai Xun enthusiastically offered to provide them with a place to live, but Ling Xuan declined.
Instead, they chose another luxury hotel that belonged to another commercial power, which is also the most famous and most expensive hotel in Helen.
This commercial force belonged to the Brahm family, the official leader of Helen. Their strength compared to Bai Xun's black market force is basically equal.
The Brahm family is not against the Tarzhers Star Alliance government, but they are supporting racial equality and are committed to self-research of high-end science and technology. Because of this, the Tarzhers Star Alliance has no control over Helen.
The implication of Ling Xuan's move is very obvious. He can cooperate with anyone, not just the Bai family, so the Bai brother and sister have to be honest.
Ling Xuan hugged the sleepy Ling Yaoyao and got on the speeding car. After Ling Yaoyao woke up slowly, she was a little ashamed and said, "Ah...Did I trouble you?"
Ling Yaoyao slept for such a long time because she had been rushing to make high-grade food supplements a few days ago, which was exhausting. She also lacked enough rest, which exhausted her mentally and physically.
Also, she was very used to Ling Xuan holding her in his arms, so she was extremely at ease.
Ling Xuan bowed his head, kissed Ling Yaoyao's cute little face that was red because of her sleeping position, then said softly, "No, you have added a lot of happiness to me."
Without Ling Yaoyao, he thought it would be so boring to talk with others. However, with her, he suddenly felt that all men were envious of him, and all his hardships were worthwhile.
Ling Yaoyao sighed, "That Bai Xue must feel that I was showing her affection on purpose. She probably hates me to death!"
Ling Xuan's eyes darkened. A woman like Bai Xue, who was not good at hiding her thoughts, was nothing to worry about. The terrible thing is her brother, Bai Xun, who doesn't show up his intention at all...
He made a mistake. He did not predict that a pure human female with excellent talent and appearance would have an irresistible attraction to the Tarzhers men.
Ling Xuan said solemnly, "Well, this woman is narrow-minded. She must report her grievance, so you must follow me at all times and keep yourself close."
Ling Yaoyao hummed and said, "Our soldiers are here to cover everything. I am not afraid of her. However, it is necessary to follow you closely, lest you unknowingly bring me some more rivals!"
Ling Xuan smiled bitterly. The person who ignorantly brought him a bunch of rivals was obviously herself...
Ling Xuan and his party went to the hotel to settle down.
Except for Cheng Bin, the other soldiers were dismissed by Ling Xuan to explore and familiarize themselves with the main city of Helen. They were divided into six people group, and each group had one Wei Ling's confidant to guide the way.
Cheng Bin has a more important task--to get on the line with the forces behind their hotel and see if they can talk about cooperation with them.
The Nighthawks and even the entire Huanuo Empire also urgently needed the latest scientific research technology.
Ling Xuan stayed in the luxury suites on the top floor of the hotel, doing behind-the-scenes coordinating, while Lu Lin was responsible for monitoring and reporting at any time.
Ling Yaoyao slept all morning, so now she could not fall asleep on the hotel's comfortable bed.
Because she was bored, she went to the kitchen in the hotel suite. She was thinking about making Ling Xuan something fresh and delicious.
Food in this starfield was scarce, and most people relied on nutrient solutions and synthetic meal pastes for their livelihoods. There is no delicious food at all.
However, the highest-ranking elites can still afford to eat artificially cultivated fresh food, but the price is extremely high. The Tarzhers starfield is poor in resources. The types of food that can be cultivated are also very limited. They also don't have a lot of tricks in food preparation.
Therefore, although the top floor luxury suite is equipped with a spacious and bright kitchen, the kitchenware is very simple.
Fortunately, in Ling Yaoyao's space button, there are commonly used ingredients, commonly used kitchen utensils, and seasonings. Everything that is necessary is available, including two intelligent robot kitchen assistants.
She thought for a while and planned to make wontons and dumplings of several flavors. This time, she was not using Zerg meat and sea beast meat as fillings.
Zerg meat and sea beast meat are delicious and have many benefits, but Ling Yaoyao had eaten too much of them. She needed to change the taste occasionally!
First of all, Ling Yaoyao started to boil a big pot of bone broth, which will be used as the soup base.
Then she made the dough, kneaded it, and left it to rise... After a demonstration, she let the robots help her roll out the dumpling wrappers.
The filling of the wonton is fresh pork leg meat with some shrimp.
She made dumplings with various fillings-leek and eggs, leek and pork, cabbage with pork, celery with pork, mushroom with pork, carrot with pork. They can be steamed, fried, and boiled.
Ling Yaoyao made a lot. She planned to let the soldiers, who followed them this time, try them out.
So, when Cheng Bin got on the line of the Brahm family, and the other party asked Ling Xuan to come over to talk, Ling Yaoyao was reluctant to leave her neatly arranged and lovely wonton dumplings...
The little girl was wearing a pink apron, and her pretty face blushed because of her busy schedule. Her face was stained with flour without her knowing. She raised her head and looked at Ling Xuan embarrassedly. "Ah, you go! Anyway, I don't understand what you want to talk about... I'll stay here and wait for you to come back!"
It is impossible for a chef to leave her half-cooked food!
Ling Xuan reached out and carefully wiped the flour on her face. He suddenly changed his mind. "I will ask them to come here."
For Yaoyao's safety, he would never leave her alone and give anyone a chance.
Fortunately, the wonton dumplings made by Ling Yaoyao would be new and delicious for the Tarzhers. They also use the lowest-level common ingredients, so the auxiliary treatment effect is not very significant.
Of course, if possible, he preferred the other party did not meet his Yaoyao at all. It would be even better if they could end the negotiation before dinner. Then, he would come alone next time for a formal meeting.
The people on the Brahm family's side heard that Ling Xuan wanted to discuss cooperation with them, but he was not willing to go to them personally. Instead, they were invited to come to him. They were a little dissatisfied with Ling Xuan at first.
But then they remembered that their subordinates found out the identity of these people--the human race from the Huanuo Empire. The news was they had reached a cooperation with the Bai family...
Although the Brahms were a little uncomfortable and felt that these human races were not very powerful, they decided to come and see what medicine they sold in their gourd.
The Brahm family advocated the country's salvation by science and technology and supported racial equality.
Although they are not against the Tarzhers Star Alliance government, they do not agree with the main battle policy of the Tarzhers Star Alliance royal family.
If a war is useful, the Tarzhers will not still be on the verge of resource exhaustion and plummeting population until now. According to the Brahm family, it is better to cooperate with the human race.
But if the human race who came this time only had some food as a bargaining chip, it would not be worthy of their Brahm family's effort to cooperate.
After all, the Brahm family has developed the latest medicinal materials and food cultivation technology. They will soon be self-sufficient and even have a surplus supply.
They could even simply get rid of impurities in food, even though the taste cannot be guaranteed.
The person in charge of the Brahm family that came to negotiate with Ling Xuan is the young master, Justin Brahm. He is half-half between the human race and the Tarzhers. His appearance is more human, but he has... a Zerg feeler on his head.
Even though he has only one insect feeler, he has a sharper sense of smell compared to the Tarzhers with two insect feelers. He also has a special ability-emotional perception.
If the other party came with malicious intent, they would not be able to escape his detection.
Justin Brahm never expected that when he stepped into the luxurious suite where the leader of this human force stayed, his keen insect feeler on his head sensed, not the other side's intentions of good and evil... but... such a peculiar aroma! It made him have an impulse to secrete saliva subconsciously!
Justin's Zerg antennae swung and swayed, then quickly discerned that the scent came from the direction of the kitchen. It seemed to be... the scent of food?
This was because Ling Xuan didn't want Ling Yaoyao to come out to meet the guests, so he closed the kitchen door and turned on the air displacement system.
Unexpectedly, the young master of the Brahm family has a better nose than a dog's nose!
Justin was tickled by the unknown fragrance. He had no thoughts to talk about cooperation and said straightforwardly, "Is your kitchen preparing something to show your sincerity in cooperating with us? Then I will try it first. I want to have a look."
With that, Justin Brahm walked directly in the direction of the kitchen.
Ling Xuan: '...wait! Not really!'
Ling Xuan's biggest bargaining chip now is indeed food. To be precise, the Nighthawks have the skills to make supplementary foods! They can make a limited amount of ingredients into a supreme delicacy, which also has a good effect!
This is also the bargaining chip for the cooperation between the Nighthawks and the Bai family, but it may not be very attractive to the Brahm family. The Brahm family has high-tech equipment and is not as short of food as the Bai family. They even have a channel to get low-level supplementary food and medicine.
The bargaining chip that Ling Xuan intends to use to cooperate with the Brahm family is the supplementary therapy medicated soup, which is more precious and scarce than supplementary therapy food. It has a medicinal effect but has no side effects!
Because of his poor perception of the Bai family's brother and sister, Ling Xuan didn't want to supply this medicated soup to the Bai family too.
He wanted to find another partner who was evenly matched with the Bai family. He can also check and balance the Bai family in disguise.
Ling Xuan learned the lesson after meeting with the Bai brother and sister in the morning, and he did not intend to expose Ling Yaoyao anymore, especially when Ling Yaoyao was cooking supplementary food... A beauty who cooked first-hand delicacies is said to be all men's fatal attraction!
Now that Justin has found out that food is being made in the kitchen, he can't keep it under cover. Otherwise, this cooperation might not be able to be discussed.
However, Ling Xuan quickly stopped him in front of the kitchen door and explained, "Inside is my unmarried wife who is preparing dinner. She is shy and doesn't like to see outsiders. I will let the robot deliver the food when it is ready."
Justin could sense Ling Xuan's strong defensive and vigilant emotions. He suddenly became even more curious about the person in the kitchen!
But Justin didn't feel any malice from Ling Xuan. In addition, he also sensed that this human man was very powerful and had an unfathomable aura.
Justin immediately became interested in this collaboration. He went back to sit down on the sofa in the living room and said with great interest, "I wonder what kind of cooperation you want to talk about?"
Ling Xuan took out several supplementary medicated soups made of Zerg meat and sea beast meat of SS grade and below. It had the effects of mental recovery/short-term improvement and physical recovery/short-term improvement.
Justin has an SS-level mental power and physique. After tasting these supplementary medicinal soups, his eyes lit up instantly!
The taste is very good! The effect is great! Except for the medicated soup with a short-term strength-enhancing effect, which will weaken some curative effects for a short period of time, the rest has no side effects on the body!
With the skills of their Brahms family, let alone for the time being. They can't make such a magical supplementary medicated soup no matter how long it would take!
This cooperation must be negotiated!
Justin's expression, who had been a little foolish before, instantly became serious. "Did you also cooperate with the Bai family with this kind of medicinal soup?"
Ling Xuan said, "Not at the moment. However, if the Brahm family doesn't have any willingness to cooperate, it might be."
Justin eagerly said, "Of course, we are willing to cooperate!"
At this time, Ling Yaoyao had finished all sorts of wonton dumplings. She cooked enough to be eaten by a few people in the room.
After she cooked it, she asked the intelligent robot to send out five small bowls of wontons (six wontons per bowl), five small bowls of soup dumplings (six dumplings of different flavors in each bowl), a large plate of fried dumplings, and a large plate of steamed dumplings with seasonings.
Ling Xuan, Cheng Bin, Lu Lin, as well as the guests, Justin, and his confidant, each has a portion.
Ling Yaoyao wanted to go out to eat together, but she had to make a portion for the other 60 people. Even if the soldiers could not be full, they had to try a few!
So after Ling Yaoyao ate a small bowl of wontons with her favorite flavors, she started to bury her head in cooking...
The repetitive work of making dumplings can actually be handed over to the robot, but Ling Xuan did not want her to come out. He said that he was afraid that she would also invite some love rivals for him. Ling Yaoyao also didn't like to meet strangers very much, so she might as well have fun making dumplings.
Outside, after Justin ate delicious wontons and various dumplings with diversified flavors, he was so amazed!
Since childhood, Justin boasted that he had eaten a lot of good things. However, he had never eaten such novel and delicious snacks!
The energy and curative effect of these snacks are far inferior to the supplementary medicated soup, but because it was freshly prepared, it was really delicious!
Justin said excitedly, "Can this also be included in the scope of our cooperation?"
Ling Xuan shook his head and said, "Supplementary therapy food is our business with the Bai family. Most of what we provide to the Bai family are processed supplementary foods that are easy to store and only a very small number of fresh food. After all, I really don't want to let my baby stay in the kitchen every day."
Justin suddenly understood why Ling Xuan didn't want him to go to the kitchen.
If he had such a fiancee who had good cooking skills, he would want to hide her as well. Of course, he also couldn't bear her working too hard.
Justin also knew that Ling Xuan came to Helen for the first time. He chose to cooperate with the two families to increase his background and balance the other quickly. This is to ensure that their cooperation would not make them enemies one day.
Justin said, "It doesn't matter if you can't formally supply us with supplementary foods for a long time, but I hope you can give me these food called wontons dumplings. I have many family members and a fiancee who grew up with me. I want to bring back the food I have tasted to share with them. Of course, I will give you a satisfactory gift in return."
Ling Xuan groaned for a while and readily agreed. Yaoyao made a lot of wonton dumplings, but he had to wrong the other soldiers. They could only taste one or two dumplings each.
Ling Xuan did not bring a lot of medicinal soup this time, but in order to show his sincerity for cooperation, Justin directly transferred them large number of the Tarzhers Star Alliance's scientific research and technical data of civilian level.
As for the exchange of more advanced technologies, they have to wait for more auxiliary medicated soup next time... and the production technology of the auxiliary medicated soup.
After two successful cooperations in one day, Ling Xuan had a better impression of Justin.
The Bai family quickly learned the news that Ling Xuan and the Brahm family had also cooperated.
Bai Xue planned to figure out how to draw Ling Yaoyao away from Ling Xuan and attack her. At this moment, she thought about something. "Brother, let's send someone to take Ling Yaoyao away and blame the matter to the Brahms?"
Bai Xun scolded angrily, "Bad girl! It is because of your immaturity that Ling Xuan does not believe in our Bai family and chooses the Brahms to cooperate as well!"
Bai Xue was also annoyed. "Do you dare to say that you didn't covet that Ling Yaoyao at all? You should have smelled the pure aura on her body. Didn't you think about snatching her over and claiming her as your own? The pure human aura on her smells so good! Her blood is so pure. She will definitely be able to give birth to the most talented child..."
Bai Xun took a deep breath and said calmly, "Yes, I like that girl. No Tarzhers man will not be attracted to a pure human race woman. Not to mention that she is so pure and sweet...
However, many things in this world cannot be obtained just by liking. If I snatched her over by dirty means, she would not be happy, nor will I... Just like our father and mother, they became a resentful couple! If you still hold any thoughts against her, next time I have to talk about cooperation, I will not bring you again."
Bai Xue snorted coldly. "Anyway, you like her, but you don't dare to go! You just wait to be like Second Uncle, to regret it for the rest of your life!"
Bai Xue didn't listen to Bai Xun's words.
But Bai Xun was silent for a long time. He recalled his second uncle's loneliness and regretted for a lifetime, his original decision was not so firm anymore...
He closed his eyes, called a private communication number, and gave a few commands...
