Luo Qi blinked for three seconds, as if a long-dead computer had just restarted, stuttering with a lag. It took him a while to process that it was 111 speaking, and that he wasn't dead.
If that was the case, was he still in the royal palace of the Insect Race?
111 hummed in affirmation. "Yes, this is your bedroom in the royal palace of the Insect Race's main star. You don't even remember this?"
Luo Qi's eyes widened. "Wait, what you're saying is, I confessed to my great dad and wasn't thrown out?"
111 was shocked. "You thought you'd be thrown out after confessing? Did you tell him everything?"
Luo Qi scratched his face. "I thought I was definitely going to die, so even if I was thrown out after confessing, it would be better than making Dad sad."
111 was speechless and sighed. "Don't worry, you won't die anytime soon. The lifespan of the Insect Race is very long.
And this world will be completely free from now on. No other systems or transmigrators will interfere."
Luo Qi became a little happier. This was good news. The people around him were all safe.
He hadn't died or been thrown out, 111 hadn't been destroyed, the world was free, and everyone around him was safe.
All good things.
Luo Qi rolled over again, rolling the blanket into a ball and burying his face in it. He laughed for a long time until his cheeks were flushed red before reluctantly letting go of the blanket and taking a breath.
It was then that he realized his wounds from before he fainted had already healed. There were only faint traces left on his arm, not completely gone. His back and forehead probably had them too, but the small wounds on his body were all gone.
He sat up, his mind shifting to other matters. Since he wasn't thrown out, where did Cecily go?
And what about Ye Mu? He remembered Ye Mu was also very seriously injured, and he had only recently recovered from an injury.
What about his friends? Where had they all gone?
Luo Qi propped himself up on the bed, hugging the blanket, and looked towards the door, hesitating whether to call someone.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, but just as he was about to speak, the door was gently pushed open from the outside. The person pushing the door likely didn't want to disturb the person inside.
Luo Qi's gaze followed, and he saw a small figure. He happily flashed a big smile. "Nina."
Nina froze, as if she had misheard. She didn't turn around for a long time. It wasn't until Luo Qi called her again, "Nina, come here," that she did.
Nina was now just over two years old, almost three, but she could walk and talk steadily. She turned around in surprise and looked at Luo Qi, her face full of joy.
"Luo Luo! You're awake!"
Luo Qi didn't know who taught the little Nina to call him Luo Luo, but she had been calling him that ever since. He had told her many times to change it, but Nina didn't.
"Nina, you should call me brother."
Nina pouted and pretended not to hear. She scampered over, climbed onto his bed, and took two candies from her pocket, placing them on Luo Qi's bedside table.
After thinking for a moment, she realized Luo Qi was awake now. She then picked up the small box of candies that had already accumulated on the bedside table and placed them in front of Luo Qi.
Luo Qi had always felt that this little girl was born in the wrong gender; she should have been a boy. She didn't like the things girls liked, nor did she like sweets. So, these candies must have been for him.
Luo Qi picked up a candy and put it in his mouth. He felt a bit hungry now. "Thank you, Nina. Where's Aunt Lia? And Uncle Cecily?"
Nina sat on the edge of the bed, her little feet dangling, watching Luo Qi eat candy with a beaming smile. It was clear she was very happy.
"Mom went to Mo Star. Uncle Cecily seems to be communicating with someone. He'll probably be back soon."
Luo Qi paused, unsure how to face Cecily. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Do you know Ye Mu? Where did he go?"
"I'm here."
The door was pushed open again from the outside, and Ye Mu walked in. He still had medical tape on his forehead, which looked a bit comical with his smiling face.
Ye Mu had been more seriously injured than Luo Qi, but because his physique was much better, he had woken up long ago. Since he was able to get out of bed, his daily routine was to come and check on Luo Qi.
This time, he arrived just as Luo Qi woke up.
He walked to Luo Qi's bedside and sat down next to Nina. He asked, "How are you feeling? Do you have any discomfort anywhere?"
Luo Qi shook his head. He felt like he had slept for a very long time. This sleep had been very comfortable, and he wished he could get out of bed and do two sets of morning exercises right now.
Ye Mu smiled and pinched Luo Qi's cheek. "Yes, you've been asleep for three months."
Luo Qi's eyes widened in surprise. "Three months?"
Ye Mu nodded. "Yes, it's been three months since the final assessment ended. If the doctor hadn't said you were fine and slowly recovering, Uncle Cecily would have gone crazy."
Mentioning Cecily, Luo Qi's gaze flickered. He tentatively asked, "Dad, he..." As soon as he spoke, Luo Qi didn't know what else to say. He didn't know if Cecily was still willing to acknowledge him as his son.
Ye Mu, not noticing Luo Qi's expression, continued. "I heard Dad say that when you collapsed in Uncle Cecily's arms, covered in injuries, Uncle Cecily's face was deathly pale.
After we all left that small planet, Cecily's residual mental energy exploded, shattering the entire small planet. It's probably just stardust now.
This matter was the fault of Di Star, so the principal personally paid to buy that small planet. It cost a huge sum of money."
Ye Mu was a little gloating. It was all because of the principal's sudden whim that they had suffered so much. Thinking of the principal's pained expression, he almost burst out laughing.
Luo Qi felt a bit embarrassed. Although this happened during the final assessment, it actually had nothing to do with the principal or Di Star.
Ye Mu continued to tell him about the new events of the past few months. "I don't know if Mo Jue hit his head at the time, but he seems to have suddenly lost his mind and become mentally unstable.
Mo Xuan has taken over the Mo Clan with Uncle Cecily's help, but it will probably take some time before he can completely control the Mo Clan.
Mo Li took Mo Jue and fled to a small planet, and they probably won't be back anytime soon. However, I estimate that once Mo Xuan is free, he will deal with them."
Luo Qi nodded. He knew why Mo Jue had gone mad. It was likely because the God Devourer had drained all his energy, damaging his brain.
But that wasn't important. What was important was...
A scent wafted over, and the door opened again. Cecily's face appeared in the doorway. Before Luo Qi could figure out how to react, he met Cecily's gentle gaze.
Cecily smiled. "What? Luo Luo, did you sleep too long? Don't you even recognize your dad?"
At that moment, the dust settled.
