As soon as I stepped outside, I saw a robot, and a middle-aged woman came to greet me.
"Madam, is there anything you need?"
The address made Chu Qing frown subconsciously. The little tiger sensed that its father was not happy, so it placed one paw on the back of its father's hand and struggled to stand up.
He stood crookedly and yelled at the middle-aged woman, thinking he was being very fierce.
"Aww!"
Although the butler wasn't frightened by the little tiger, he could still tell that the little tiger and Chu Qing were unhappy.
"Just call me sir."
"Yes, sir."
The middle-aged woman realized after Chu Qing finished speaking that he didn't like the way he addressed her, and quickly changed her address.
"Is there any food for him?"
"Yes, sir, I'll go prepare it right now."
While this person was preparing food for the tiger cub, Chu Qing happened to be sitting down on the sofa with the tiger cub in her arms, picking up a brightly colored cat toy on each side.
Hold the end and bring the end with the brightly colored feathers and bell to the little tiger. The little tiger, who was a little unhappy because he could no longer stay in his father's arms, suddenly brightened up.
He quickly got up and leaned forward to smell it.
As Chu Qing moved, the little tiger kept chasing after her until it was too tired to run anymore and could only lie there, its eyes still following the movement of the cat toy.
The housekeeper brought up the milk prepared for the little tiger. The little master is still too young. According to the report from the doctor's previous visit, he can no longer eat meat, otherwise it will be detrimental to the growth of the little master's teeth.
I can only drink milk as my staple food. Occasionally, when my teeth are really itchy, I can eat a little bit of dried meat. It's the kind of dried meat that's been dried until it's very hard and takes a lot of effort to bite into.
Chu Qing watched the little tiger drink milk. The little tiger must have been really hungry, because it ran over as soon as it smelled the milk.
Although I tried my best to control myself, I almost buried my head directly in the milk basin.
With milk stains all around its mouth, it greedily licked the milk into its mouth with its tongue, making noises as it drank, while its tail kept wagging behind it.
Taking advantage of this lull, Chu Qing received some data from the system.
This is an interstellar dimension, and the true protagonist is Chu Ming, the original owner's brother.
The original owner was supposed to be the heir of a second-rate family on the Imperial Star, but due to an accident when he was a child, he got lost while traveling to another planet.
The original owner's mother was overwhelmed with grief at the time, and her husband, in order to ease her sorrow, took a child from the orphanage. This child was Chu Ming.
The main plot revolves around Chu Ming growing up. Although he is not a biological child of the Chu family, because of so many years of companionship and his exceptional growth, Chu's mother has long regarded him as someone more important than her own child.
Not only did she forget that she had a biological child who had gone missing, but she also forbade others to look for him. To the outside world, she only wanted to admit that Chu Ming was her real, precious son.
On the Imperial Star, there is a marshal who is stationed on a border planet year-round. Although he has made many contributions to the Empire, there are still many people who are afraid of him.
Because his mental strength was accidentally damaged during his battle with the Zerg Queen, once he lost self-control, the Marshal's powerful strength was enough to destroy the entire Imperial Star.
With such destructive power, there are practically no people who wouldn't be afraid.
As the marshal grew older, the emperor of the empire was unwilling to see his excellent genes die out, so he directly conducted a public screening, intending to select someone from the database who best matched the data of Marshal Wei Yutang.
In order to cover up the fact that Chu Ming was not her biological son, Chu's mother never allowed anyone to take samples, and some of Chu Ming's gene samples did not exist in the database.
However, since the order was given by the king, everyone had to obey it. After discovering that Chu Ming's sample was missing, those people used the samples of the Chu family couple to fuse them.
The result showed that the match with the marshal was the highest.
Chu's mother was unwilling to let her favorite son be with someone who could threaten her life if he went out of control, so she began to act out of character and sent people to search for her biological son who had gone missing.
In her eyes, Chu Qing's existence went from being a mistake she was unwilling to face at first, to becoming her son's savior later.
The original owner was adopted by a couple on a garbage planet. After struggling to grow up, the couple developed serious illnesses due to their unhealthy lifestyle over the years.
In order to cure their illnesses, the original owner exhausted all his energy, but even so, he still couldn't save their lives.
Not long after her adoptive parents left, the original owner was found and taken back. Before she could even recover from the joy of having relatives again, she was first placed in the marshal's mansion.
The original owner's biological parents didn't like him, but doted on their adopted son. This psychological imbalance led him to try to frame Chu Ming, but he was ultimately killed by a suitor who liked Chu Ming.
After losing her father, Wei Xia began a hunger strike, refusing to drink any more milk, and within a week she became so thin that she was just skin and bones.
At this moment, Chu Ming, who looked somewhat similar to Chu Qing, appeared in front of him. The starving little tiger thought that his father had returned and obediently began to eat.
Then, due to an accident, her memory began to become distorted, and she began to believe that Chu Ming was her biological father.
Even if Wei Yutang was filled with resentment and unwillingness, he still had no choice but to get rid of the person who liked Chu Ming for the sake of the little tiger.
Every time Wei Yutang tried to make a move against Chu Ming, the little tiger would pounce on him with its teeth bared and claws out, and in the end, he would have to give up.
After the original owner died, Chu Ming took over everything the original owner possessed and used these things to rise higher and higher, reaching the pinnacle of his life.
"Host, the main mission is: to raise Davidia."
Side quest: Conquer Marshal Wei Yutang, with an additional 50% reward for quest progress.
Chu Qing accepted both tasks. After quickly organizing her thoughts, she happened to see the little tiger finish drinking a basin of milk and lean over to let the butler wipe it clean.
This little tiger is only about half the length of Chu Qing's arm, and its belly is bulging from being filled with milk.
With unusually light steps, he walked up to Chu Qing and rubbed his clean head against his father.
Xiaxia never expected that he would have such a day. Before, his father never liked him getting close. No matter how much he missed his father, he could only reluctantly carry his little mat and sleep at the door of his father's room.
But now Dad not only allows him to get close, but also plays with him for a while, and is now willing to wait for him.
If it weren't for the fact that she was too full, Xiaxia would have been so happy that she wanted to tear the house apart.
Unfortunately, given the current situation, it can only express its joy by constantly wagging its tail.
"Are you full?"
Chu Qing held him in her arms and gently rubbed his ear, which felt nice to the touch.
He admitted that he had absolutely no resistance to such a fluffy, cute, and well-behaved little guy, and wished he could hold him in his arms and pet him all the time.
Xiaxia nodded her head very seriously, her ears twitching slightly with the nod.
"Aww~"
"It's good that you're full. How about we go for a walk together? It'll help you digest and grow up faster."
"Aww~"
The little tiger had no idea what a walk was, but as soon as it heard that it was with its father, it nodded without hesitation.
"Let's go and take a look in the yard."
As Chu Qing walked in the courtyard, the little tiger stood on a small platform specially built for him. This backyard was privately designed, and everything, from the air humidity to everything else, was just right.
The temperature was the most comfortable, and everything else was arranged entirely according to Chu Qing's preferences, including some flowers that were in full bloom.
A faint floral fragrance floated in the air, and everything seemed so beautiful.
After reading the entire plot, although the original owner wasn't exactly a good person, Chu Qing inexplicably felt sympathy for him.
The couple who raised him left early, and his biological parents only wanted him back because they didn't want their own child to suffer.
She had only been back for a short time, and before she even understood the situation, she was forced to marry the marshal, someone she had never even met.
We've never met, and we don't know each other well, so the only way we get information from others is through hearsay.
There are many people on the Imperial Star who admire the Marshal, thinking he is outstanding, powerful, or because of his contributions to the Empire.
However, he also has a considerable number of people who dislike him. Some people think he has a bad personality or that he might pose other dangers because of various rumors.
When faced with the unknown, people tend to think in the worst possible light.
To judge the worst outcome based solely on one's own guesses, and whether it is within one's acceptable range.
For this reason, the original owner disliked Wei Yutang, and disliked Xia Xia even more.
Chu Qing caught a glimpse of the little tiger out of the corner of his eye. The tiger was so happy that it was hopping around as it walked, even though he had only come to accompany it for a walk. A gentle smile appeared in Chu Qing's eyes.
This little guy is already adorable, and his clingy and obedient nature makes him even more endearing.
If possible, Chu Qing hopes that her arrival can bring more warmth to this little guy and accompany him as he grows up healthy and happy.
Xiaxia was very determined at first, thinking that she must not be looked down upon by her father.
It's rare for Dad to spend so much time with me like this, and he didn't show any impatience.
This little tiger was determined to seize this opportunity and let his father know that his cub was the best little tiger.
Unfortunately, because I had eaten too much beforehand, my stomach was full of the milk I had just drunk.
She hadn't even walked a few steps, and she had just promised herself in her mind that she would leave a good impression on her father, but her steps were already getting slower and slower.
Chu Qing quickly noticed that the little tiger was getting tired, so she didn't force him to continue. Instead, she went over and picked him up, then looked down and asked:
Are you a little tired?
The little tiger, who had never thought himself particularly clever, reacted with unprecedented speed at this moment.
She quickly nodded her head, then snuggled into her father's arms and began to whine pitifully.
If someone who doesn't know the situation saw this, they might wonder what terrible injustice this little tiger had suffered.
In reality, she was just unable to walk, so she acted pitiful in front of her father, trying her best to make him forget what had happened before by being cute.
"We've walked for about that long enough, let's go back and rest now."
Chu Qing felt it wasn't good for Xia Xia to go to sleep right after eating so much, so she tried to find an excuse to take him out.
After walking around for so long, I figured I could go back and sleep right away without any problem, so I carried the little tiger back home.
The little tiger initially enjoyed his father's embrace, but when he realized they were almost at the door, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
She quickly raised her head, rubbed her eyes with her paws, and after confirming that she wasn't seeing things and that her father really was going to take her back, she clung tightly to her father's arm with all four paws and started whimpering pitifully.
If he had known that Dad was going to take him back to sleep, he wouldn't have pretended to be pitiful.
I can sleep tomorrow, but Dad is so nice today, so it's uncertain if I can sleep tomorrow.
Although this little one is still young, he's incredibly shrewd when it comes to things related to his father.
Chu Qing didn't quite understand why the little tiger's resistance had suddenly become so obvious. She thought he was just being naughty, so she placed a hand on his back and her voice wasn't as gentle as it had been at the beginning.
"Do you still want to go out and play? I'll take you out after you wake up, okay?"
Of the creatures he had already raised, Chu Qing didn't want to disrupt things because of this one mischievous act, so he still wanted to coax him into being obedient.
