107 Worried
“Mingming, this little thing is too dangerous. We don’t want it anymore!” Gu Jianguo said with a serious expression. “We’ll just hand it over to the country.”
Gu Jianguo thought of his daughter’s safety.
It was safest to hand it over to the country.
Gu Qingming shook her head and said, “Dad, I’m bound to a contract with the little fairy. It can’t be broken anymore. Now, Little Kong and I will live and die together.”
When Gu Jianguo and Mrs. Gu heard this, their expressions changed.
The atmosphere was quiet again.
A moment later, Gu Qingming said, “Dad, Mom, don’t worry. I’ll protect myself!”
Mrs. Gu asked worriedly, “But… the existence of the little fairy is too shocking to the world. It’s just like what the ancient people said. It’s like an immortal potion.”
Immortality potion, how tempting was that!
In the past, in order to pursue the elixir of immortality, the emperor, who was originally wise, became a tyrant.
Even in a modern and peaceful society, some powerful and rich people would spend a huge sum of money to live longer.
For example, the richest man in Hong Kong was already in his nineties this year. However, in order to live longer, he spent a lot of money to set up a medical research institute. Every year, he would spend billions of dollars on this research institute.
The research was effective. A drug that could improve one’s physique in old age could delay aging and death.
An injection would cost a hundred million. He still had to get an injection every three months. Therefore, he spent a huge sum of money to save his life.
This was just one of the examples.
If these people knew that Gu Qingming had medicine to rejuvenate youth, wouldn’t they go crazy?
The Gu family only had a seat in Sea City, but it was not enough outside of the city. If those big and influential families wanted to mess with the Gu family, it would be easier than stepping on an ant.
The Gu family could not protect Gu Qingming at all.
How could Gu Qingming not consider this problem that her parents were worried about?
However, she was helpless.
She had once tried to break the contract with the little fairy, but there was no way to do so at the moment.
Besides, her rebirth was the work of the fairy. She owed the fairy, who was her benefactor, a big favor. She could not abandon it now.
Gu Jianguo frowned and asked with a serious expression, “Daughter, do you really want to be tied to such a dangerous thing? Is there really no way to remove it?”
He could only blame himself for being too useless as a father and not having the ability to protect his daughter.
Gu Qingming shook her head and said, “There’s a way, but it’s not practical.”
Gu Jianguo and his wife’s eyes lit up. They said, “What solution? There’s always hope.”
Gu Qingming said, “Dad, Mom, do you know how big Little Kong’s space is?”
“How big?”
“It’s bigger than our country.”
Gu Jianguo asked in confusion, “But what does this space have to do with you canceling the contract?”
Gu Qingming sighed softly and said, “To break the contract, I need to plant things in the space to increase Little Kong’s energy.”
“I’m the only one who can enter and leave this space. Therefore, I’m the only one who can enter this space to plant.”
“Huh?!” Gu Jianguo and his wife were shocked again.
“How do you plant in such a big space?” Mrs. Gu asked in surprise.
She came from the countryside and had a deep understanding of farming.
In the countryside, when people farmed an acre of land, they would be so busy that their feet would not touch the ground. They would be exhausted.
How was their precious daughter going to plant in an area larger than the country?
How long would this take?
Even if she was given a hundred years, she would not be able to finish planting.
Could it be that she could only farm for the rest of her life?
Besides, his daughter had never farmed since she was young.
Mrs. Gu became even more worried.
She asked, “Daughter, can we go in and help? When the time comes, we’ll buy more farming machinery and tools. The three of us will plant them together.”
“Pfft!” Gu Qingming laughed and said, “Mom, there’s no need to plant it like this.”
Gu Qingming thought of the family of three farming with machinery clumsily. This scene was too awkward. She did not want to look like it.
Mrs. Gu asked, “Then how do we plant it?”
Gu Qingming said seriously, “With willpower!”
“Willpower?”
“How do you plant using willpower?”
Mr. and Mrs. Gu asked one after another.
Gu Qingming explained seriously, “When I enter and leave the space, I use my willpower. That is the same with planting things!”
Gu Jianguo and his wife immediately heaved a sigh of relief and said, “That’s more like it. If you farm in the space, you have to be like a farmer and work really hard. How long will this take? It’s just that you have to plant quickly. After planting, we’ll quickly cancel the contract.”
Gu Qingming shook her head and said, “How can it be so simple? We need to find seeds, and we need all kinds of plants. Moreover, we need to meet the requirements.”
Gu Jianguo and his wife were speechless.
It was so troublesome to just farm.
Therefore, how long would it take to finish planting such a large piece of land?
The couple could not help but worry again.
Gu Qingming looked at her parents’ worried expressions and comforted them. “Dad, Mom, don’t worry. Since things have already come to this, we can only take it one step at a time. I believe it’ll be worth it when the time comes. At most, we’ll cooperate with the country in the future!”
Gu Jianguo’s eyes lit up. He patted the table and said excitedly, “That’s right. We can’t hand this thing over to the country, but we can cooperate with the country. With the country’s protection, we won’t be afraid no matter how dangerous it is!”
Mrs. Gu was not so optimistic.
She said worriedly, “How can it be so easy?”
If they wanted to work with the country, they had to have the ability to contact the key people.
They might have already been targeted before they could do so. The consequences would be unimaginable.
Gu Jianguo comforted her. “Honey, let’s not think too much for the time being. Just as our daughter said, we’ll take it one step at a time for the time being. We’ll cross the bridge when the time comes.”
“Okay, I understand!” Mrs. Gu nodded.
It was useless to worry now.
Mrs. Gu reminded her seriously, “Ming’er, you can’t casually expose this secret in the future. Oh, right, did Wenwen discover your secret too?” She suddenly thought of this.
Gu Qingming shook her head and said, “Mom, don’t worry about Wenwen. Even if she knows that I have a secret, she definitely won’t reveal it to anyone.”
Just like how Gao Wenwen understood her, she also understood Gao Wenwen very well.
Gu Jianguo nodded and said, “Alright, daughter. You have to be careful in the future.”
“Okay, I got it, Dad!”
