Chapter 478 Asking for Help from Home
Meng Ke dealt with the matters of the two planets before taking Luo Tian, Qingyou and others to the Insect Sea Star Region.
Unexpectedly, less than half a day after setting off, Xiang Ran called me via video.
Meng Ke didn't notice that what she had just submitted to Xiang Ran was a projection application. It was not until this person knelt in front of her that she came to her senses and quickly dodged.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Whether she agrees or not has nothing to do with whether the other party kneels or not.
Xiang Ran lay on the ground and didn't get up. His slightly trembling shoulders revealed that he was in pain.
"you……"
As soon as he said a word, Xiang Ran choked up and fell to the ground, wiping his tears vigorously.
He was so useless. He had thought of a lot of good things to say before the video call, but at such a critical moment, his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't utter a single word.
Meng Kejian guessed: "Does Mr. Xiang need help?"
Xiang Ran suddenly looked up, his eyes red and swollen, and looked at Meng Ke with hope and nodded.
Meng Ke frowned. Although the old ancestor did not live up to Meng Ke's expectations when he left last time, he was in much better health compared to other people of the same age.
"How could this be?"
Meng Ke had no interest in asking people to perform formal formalities, so he just pulled the person up vaguely.
Xiang Ran was grief-stricken and shocked. What was going on? He was clearly a projection, so how could Master Meng help him up?
Thinking of the ancestor's daily teachings, Xiang Ran looked at Meng Ke with respect in his eyes. He didn't expect that Meng Ke could successfully differentiate his spiritual body at such a young age.
Meng Ke patted Xiang Ran's arm: "What's the situation? Briefly tell me."
If you are in a hurry to save someone, you can't delay like this.
I don’t know if Xiang Ran is really worried about his ancestor or if he is just stupid.
Xiang Ran then realized the purpose of his secretly contacting Meng Ke without the ancestor's knowledge. He wanted to kneel down again, but Meng Ke's hand on his shoulder was not retracted, so neither he nor his projection could kneel down.
"I'm willing to help you, even if you don't kneel. If you don't want to, kneeling will be useless. You'd better tell me what happened."
Xiang Ran thought of the old ancestor's condition and lowered his head sadly. "The old ancestor was seriously injured while dealing with a high-level alien plant from the neighboring planet. The radiation level of that alien plant was very high, and the old ancestor was completely alienated by the radiation. I heard that you can treat people who are completely alienated. Can you please save him?"
"Is he still conscious now?"
Xiang Ran closed his eyes in pain and shook his head.
What's the difference between a mutant without consciousness and a dead person? The ancestor is now living a life worse than death, and it's heartbreaking for them, the younger generations, to see this.
In fact, he wanted to ask Meng Ke for help last night when the ancestor had not yet completely mutated, but was stopped by the ancestor who was still conscious. The ancestor said that one should not be greedy. The previous treatment might not be repaid, and now he is bothering Master Meng. Isn't this shameless?
Just now when he secretly contacted Meng Ke, he had already made up his mind that if Master Meng agreed, his life would belong to Master Meng from now on. He would do whatever she asked him to do, and she could take his life if she asked for it.
Meng Ke heard that Ancestor Xiang had completely mutated in order to maintain stability on the border, so she didn't delay any longer.
"Do you Xiang family have a ready-made space traction device?"
Seeing hope, Xiang Ran's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly: "Yes!"
"You arrange for someone to connect with my guards, I'll tow them over now."
"Okay! I'll arrange it right away!"
Xiang Ran even forgot to hang up the video call and quickly ran to find his uncle.
He reacted very quickly to the head of the family, making a video call and quickly arranging everything.
When Meng Ke really teleported over and restored the ancestor to a human form, Xiang Ran still felt like he was dreaming.
The head of the Xiang family saw Meng Ke talking to his nephew, but his nephew ignored him, and he was a little angry for a moment.
Instead of talking about being friends, are you trying to make enemies by ignoring me?
He kicked his nephew over and turned to Meng Ke without any fierceness. He smiled like Maitreya Buddha, and was cute in his smoothness.
Meng Ke had never expected that the head of the Xiang family was actually a cute fat man with a baby face, the slightly plump kind, not at all annoying, on the contrary quite friendly.
"These fruits and vegetables are a little gift from me. I hope the head of the family will not despise them."
Meng Ke put a storage container on the table, and the head of the Xiang family was stunned. He didn't expect that the news that Meng Ke's natural fruits and vegetables were delivered in storage containers was true.
"This... this is unacceptable!"
The head of the Xiang family had a look of anxiety on his cute baby face, and he quickly asked someone to hand over the big gift he had prepared for Meng Ke with both hands.
"You saved our ancestor's life, which means you saved the lives of our entire Xiang family. How can we have the nerve to accept your things again?"
Meng Ke's mere words made the head of the Xiang family so embarrassed that he almost pulled his hair out.
"These are all high-quality fruits and vegetables. I think the old man should be able to use them."
Of course it can be used!
The head of the Xiang family looked conflicted. The radiation level in the old ancestor's body had dropped below the red line, but it was still within the dangerous range. If he had these things, the old ancestor's recovery would be just around the corner.
But the Xiang family couldn't be so greedy. They hadn't paid off their last debt yet, and now they owed someone a big favor. If they accepted these fruits and vegetables again, he...
"We can't accept this!"
Ancestor Xiang, who had just woken up in the lounge next door, walked in with the help of his juniors. He glanced at the storage container on the table, his vicissitudes and tired eyes were full of determination. This thing could not be taken away no matter what. Their Xiang family still had some dignity.
Meng Ke stood up and respectfully welcomed the person to the main seat. This was the seat that the head of the family had insisted on her sitting in, and she had to refuse before she sat down.
Now coming towards the ancestor, she naturally helped him to his seat.
The old man reached out his hand tremblingly and solemnly handed the storage container on the table back to Meng Ke.
Meng Ke didn't take it, but looked at the old man in front of him sincerely.
The old man's hair is gray, but from his current appearance and demeanor, one can tell that he must have been a handsome and extraordinary man in his youth.
I heard that the border planets were not peaceful in the past. Even if the neighboring planet was completely destroyed by alien plants and beasts, as long as the top leaders of the alliance did not say anything, the nearby planets would turn a blind eye to it. There was no unity among the human race at all.
Later, Xiang Laozu led the way, relying on his passion and powerful strength. He helped anyone in need and beat up anyone who dared to cause trouble, and successfully won the hearts and minds of the surrounding planetary forces.
It can be said that in the star field around Blue Star, the words of the Xiang family ancestor are more effective than those of the alliance’s top leaders.
Fortunately, there is no such thing as a person becoming too successful to be a leader in the interstellar world, and the Xiang family has no ambition to occupy territory and become the king, so the Xiang family can grow rapidly and steadily squeeze into the ranks of the second-tier families.
As for a first-class family, the Xiang family's foundation is still too shallow and cannot reach it for the time being.
Seeing Meng Ke standing still, Ancestor Xiang leaned forward to return the storage device in his hand to Meng Ke, but he lost his grip when Meng Ke dodged, and the item fell to the ground. He wanted to pick it up, but the younger generations quickly stopped him. Those who were quick helped pick it up. Only then did Ancestor Xiang take a breath and sit back.
"Take it, we can't have this."
If the Xiang family had any dignity, they would not accept anything from the girl today.
The younger generations of the Xiang family who could appear in the reception room at this time were all family elites. They were all tall and handsome. They looked at the storage device in Meng Ke's hand with confusion, but no one spoke.
They all knew that the Xiang family was too weak to repay this favor, so the ancestor would rather die than drag them down.
But they would rather sell their lives to Meng Ke than watch anything happen to their ancestor.
The old man couldn't bear to see the younger generations acting like he was dead.
"Why are you all so sad? I'm not dead yet, old man!"
These little brats are so pretentious that those who don't know them would think that they are a double-crosser among the Xiang family. They want to take advantage of Master Meng and save the face of the Xiang family.
"Old man, you were injured fighting for the Alliance this time. As a member of the Alliance, I'm giving you something. Are you refusing because you're worried I'll steal your credit?"
She said this on purpose. How could Xiang Laozu not know that Meng was worried that he would not accept her, so she said such provocative words.
"Never mind. I'll take what's in here. It's just that high-quality fruits and vegetables can't be bought with money. Consider it another favor our Xiang family owes you. From now on, even if it means spending all our wealth or even killing people or setting fires, as long as you say the word, we Xiang men will not refuse."
After saying this to the ancestor, his gaze finally fell on the head of the Xiang family. This was the young man he had high hopes for, and he believed that even if he died, this young man would not go against his wishes.
The Xiang family head immediately expressed his position: "Yes, yes, yes! From now on, Master Meng, as long as you say a word, our entire Xiang family will follow your lead."
Meng Ke: Not really, not really!
At this time, the smart door reported that someone had applied to enter. Meng Ke didn't care at first, but he didn't expect the robot that came in to report that there was a delivery from Master Meng.
Meng Ke immediately knew what it was. She did not take the express package handed to her by a sunny and handsome young master of the Xiang family, but raised her chin to signal him to open it.
The young master has excellent upbringing, so how could he have the nerve to open someone else's package, not to mention that Meng is the benefactor of their entire family.
He turned to look at the ancestor, and when he saw the ancestor nodded, he opened it carefully. There was a metal ball inside. If he was not mistaken, the latest mini safe launched by the alliance seemed to look like this.
Mr. Xiang was very smart. When he saw it was a safe, he immediately thought of the gift he had prepared for Meng Ke, and quickly presented it with both hands.
This safe is perfect for storing special devices.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mengke take it.
Just be willing to accept the things they give to their family. Relationships between people can only last long if there is give-and-take.
If Meng Ke doesn't accept the Xiang family's things this time, then next time, even if something really happens to the ancestor, the Xiang family won't have the face to beg them for help again.
Meng Ke quickly unlocked the mini safe, took out a light yellow candy-like object and handed it to Xiang Laozu: "This is medicine!"
Without saying a word, Xiang Laozu picked up the pill in Meng Ke's hand and swallowed it.
Meng Ke raised an eyebrow: "Old man, aren't you afraid that I will hurt you?"
He chuckled to the old ancestor: "What are you afraid of? Even if I die now, it will be a happy funeral."
He was very successful when he was young, and had many children and grandchildren when he was old. Although not all of his children were successful, at least their character satisfied him. He would have no regrets even if he died in this life.
"The old man is so open-minded. I admire him!"
There are also the younger generations of the Xiang family. Meng has never met the others, so I don’t know, but at least they all have good personalities.
Meng Ke stood up and bowed deeply to the ancestor. "Thank you for everything you've done for the Alliance. Although I'm not a kind person, I admire you very much. If you encounter this situation again, please let me know."
Thinking that she was about to go to the Insect Sea Star Region and might not be able to contact him during the storm, Meng Ke sent Ouyang Kong's light computer number to Xiang Ran. If she sent it to the ancestor, she was worried that the ancestor would be stubborn and not allow her to contact him, just like this time.
"If you can't get in touch with him, just call this computer number. He's my husband, so mobilizing a few senior purification technicians won't be a problem."
Xiang Ran was shocked. Their Xiang family was already a stable second-class family, but they tried their best but couldn't hire a senior purification engineer. She didn't expect that the husband in her dreams could easily mobilize several.
What Xiang Ran didn't know, the head of the Xiang family knew a lot because of his position. When he saw that the ancestor had no objection, he responded with a smile and slapped his nephew on the back of the head.
This kid is lucky, but he is too stupid and has no tact. He usually looks like an elite, but this time he is really anxious to death.
In order to live a few more years, the head of the Xiang family decided to focus on training this kid in the future.
But Xiang Ran didn't give him the chance at all. When Meng Ke said goodbye, he knelt down with a plop and said, "Master Meng, I've thought about this before. You've helped the Xiang family a lot. From now on, I will stay by your side and work like a slave!"
The head of the Xiang family looked at his nephew in surprise. He didn't expect that this kid would take advantage of others' unpreparedness and make such a big move. He even wanted to give him a thumbs up: Well done!
However, the head of the Xiang family did not hold out hope for his nephew to follow Master Meng. He knew that all the major families on the main star wanted to send their young people to Meng Ke, so it was better that he could not get involved with the gold-plated one. He heard that Master Meng was very kind to the people around her, and that natural fruits and vegetables of all levels could be eaten freely. If the radiation value was high, they could ask her for purification at any time. So he asked where there was such a good place in the entire alliance.
