Chapter 860: Chapter 860 Return Journey

Chang Jing slightly nodded her head. Qin Hao’s thoughts were aligned with hers. This Elven queen absolutely must not gain real power.

Due to her significant influence and high status among the elves, if she gained actual power, it would affect Qin Hao’s position.

She spoke up, “We can educate the elves through various channels such as media and education, encouraging their sense of belonging to the Galaxy Federation, while gradually diminishing the queen’s revered image in their minds. The Galaxy Federation has only one leader.”

After speaking, she continued, “By the way, Yuying is about to give birth.”

Qin Hao was momentarily surprised and delighted, “Really? Are they all on Earth now?”

“Yes, they’re all on Earth,” Chang Jing replied.

Qin Hao thought for a moment and said, “Let’s return to Earth first, I want to go home and have a look.”

Chang Jing: “Should we put things on hold here for now?”

Qin Hao: “Yes, let’s put them on hold. We’ll proceed with the next step after we return from Earth. I want to see the children.”

Before long, the Elven Queen Yun Ya and others including Luna came in. Yun Ya looked at Qin Hao and said, “Mr. Qin, when are we going back to Earth? I want to see my people, I feel deeply guilty for not protecting them.”

Hearing her words, Qin Hao’s eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and he smiled faintly, “We’ll set off soon. We now have sub-light speed cosmic ships, so it will only take a few days to reach Earth.”

Yun Ya slightly nodded and stood silently to the side.

Qin Hao said to Chang Jing, “Prepare for departure.”

Chang Jing handed over the command to her deputy, who was one of her close associates, also issuing orders to the artificial intelligences of all the warships, ensuring stability even in case of betrayal. This was the benefit of artificial intelligence, as it was solely loyal to Qin Hao and his people.

At the same time, they had their own thoughts. Any adverse actions against the Galaxy Federation would not be executed, unless ordered by Qin Hao.

…

Qin Hao and his party took an advanced cosmic ship to Earth, which would take about five days to reach Earth at its speed.

On the way, Qin Hao and Chang Jing had a video call with Du Wanrou and others on Earth.

The video connected quickly, and Du Wanrou appeared, alongside a cradle with a boy and a girl inside.

Qin Hao’s face lit up with joy, “Wan Rou.”

Upon hearing Qin Hao’s voice, Du Wanrou was full of surprise, “Xiao Hao, where are you? Are you coming back soon?”

“Xiao Hao?” Mr. and Mrs. Qin also appeared in the video, along with Xia Qing, Xu Siyao, Fan Ruobing, Han Meng, Zhao Yuying, Miao Jing, and Li Moying.

“Xiao Hao, where are you now? Get back here quickly, Yuying is about to give birth. How can you, as a father, put anything above your child?” Mrs. Qin scolded him from the other side of the call.

Qin Hao chuckled awkwardly, “Mom, I’m on my way back now, it’ll take just five days to get to Earth.”

“Really? You’re not lying to me?” Mrs. Qin was skeptical.

Chang Jing smiled and said, “Mom, Xiao Hao is with me. We’re on our way back.”

Mrs. Qin: “Oh, that’s good. Hurry back, Yuying is about to give birth.”

Qin Hao talked a bit longer before ending the call. He reached out to pull Chang Jing and Lan Xin close.

He said to Chang Jing, “I know it’s been hard for you, Xiao Jing.”

Chang Jing, understanding his meaning, nestled her head on his shoulder, “Helping you is enough for me.”

The Galaxy Federation Government needed people to manage and control it. Chang Jing was the most suitable candidate, along with Ning Yao, Miao Jing, Li Qingya, and others.

They were currently the high-ranking officials of the Galaxy Federation Government, managing and maintaining its operations for Qin Hao.

If they were to get pregnant and leave their positions to others, Qin Hao would not be at ease. However, he intended to select a new batch of elites for the Interstellar Federation Government upon returning.

These individuals had to be loyal to the Galaxy Federation.

Qin Hao glanced at Lan Xin, who pouted her seductive red lips at him with a hint of coquetry on her face.

“Let’s go rest for a while,” Qin Hao chuckled.

Chang Jing’s face immediately turned red, realizing he wanted her and Lan Xin together. She hadn’t been intimate with Qin Hao for a long time and deeply missed that feeling.

The three of them returned to a room on the ship.

About an hour later, the sounds in the room finally quieted down.

Qin Hao opened the system and checked the system mall. Most of the useful items in the mall had already been redeemed when he left Earth, but there were still some he hadn’t.

He planned to redeem the remaining technology after returning but wanted to upgrade the system now.

“Xiao Ying, when can the system be upgraded?” Qin Hao communicated with the system Xiao Ying through his mind.

Xiao Ying: “The host can spend 100 billion achievement points for a forced upgrade, which will unlock more items after the upgrade.”

“100 billion?” Qin Hao checked his achievement points, totaling over 150 billion.

The bounty on the interstellar network had significantly raised Qin Hao’s reputation in the galaxy, adding many achievement points.

With a galactic population in the quadrillions, the increase in points wasn’t actually that much.

After some thought, Qin Hao said, “Upgrade it, 100 billion it is.”

“Host has consumed 100 billion achievement points to forcibly upgrade the system. The system is upgrading and will take about a day. Please wait.”

…

Qin Hao, Chang Jing, and Lan Xin slept for five or six hours. When they woke up, Qin Hao smiled warmly at them, then there was a knock on the door.

“Master,” Luna’s voice came from outside.

Qin Hao was a bit surprised, quickly dressing before stepping out to see Luna at the door. He asked curiously, “What is it?”

Luna spoke softly, “Master, my mother is looking for you. She said there’s something she needs to discuss.”

Qin Hao’s mind raced as he nodded slightly, “Take me to her.”

Luna led Qin Hao to the Elven Queen Yun Ya’s room. She knocked on the door, “Mother, Mr. Qin is here.”

“Come in,” came Yun Ya’s voice from inside.

Hearing her tone and attitude, Qin Hao frowned slightly. Given her current status, shouldn’t she have come to open the door herself?

I’ll see what you want from me, he thought as he pushed the door open and walked in. Inside, the Elven Queen Yun Ya stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the vast starry sky outside.
