Tang Wan stared at the pervert in shock, "Are you going to operate on Brother Tang Wen?" How painful would it be to have such a large syringe stuck into the body! And those dazzling surgical knives—just looking at them made Tang Wan's bones ache; she truly couldn't bear to watch.

The pervert chuckled, "No, I just need a certain part of him." He looked at Tang Wan, "Little girl, wouldn't you like a little bit too?" Accustomed to being alone, he allowed himself to be as creepy or as gory as he pleased, completely oblivious to how horrifying his expression looked.

Tang Wan stumbled backward in fear, urgently saying, "No need, no need, I'm fine, I'm alright." Accidentally stepping on something soft, her legs buckled in fright, and she nearly dropped to her knees.

The object let out a sharp "Jī!" sound, sprang up, and bumped against Zi Ye’s light screen. Zi Ye was contemplating how to improve the juvenile wolf form when she saw a white object fly towards her and instinctively reached out to catch it. Looking up, she noticed the strange looks everyone was giving her and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you all?"

Tang Wan quietly slipped over to Zi Ye’s side and whispered, "Xiao Yezi, where did that weird old man come from? He's terrifying."

Zi Ye put Douzai down, suppressing a smile, and said to the pervert, "Look at you, you've scared Xiao Wan'er half to death. Xiao Wan'er is my friend, here to help me build the space station. Pervert, tone it down." The pervert was unconcerned; instead, he deliberately tried to frighten Tang Wan more, pulling out a gleaming silver surgical knife from his toolbox and baring his teeth, "I'll tell you a secret: this is the best knife I have. When cutting through bone and flesh, it makes absolutely no sound, and there's very little blood. After separation, there's only a faint, thin reddish line of a wound. You wouldn't even notice it if you didn't look closely!"

Slap!

Zi Ye swung her light screen and smacked the pervert on the head. "Enough nonsense. If you’re here, get started quickly."

Tang Wan cried out in alarm, "Xiao Yezi, you mustn't do anything reckless! Separating bone and flesh means death!"

Zi Ye burst out laughing and patted her shoulder, "He's actually a good person."

Tang Wan absolutely refused to believe it; the word 'bad guy' was practically written across her face. And he claimed he was a good person?

Despite his perverted nature, the pervert’s work ethic was absolutely one hundred percent serious. He waved the knife, "Those who aren't needed, step out."

Tang Wan looked at Zi Ye, then at Tang Wen, and finally at Douzai crawling on the floor. She silently remained where she was. There were plenty of idle people around; she certainly wasn't the most idle one.

However—

The next second, Blan walked up beside her and said, "Miss Tang Wan, please."

Tang Wan stared at Blan, utterly bewildered. Blan inclined his head slightly, "Let's go outside."

Tang Wan gave Zi Ye an expression of incomprehension mixed with frustration. Zi Ye waved her hand, "You can come back in later."

Blan left the room and thoughtfully closed the door, immediately isolating Tang Wan’s complaints outside.

Zi Ye stood up, shifted her backside onto the sofa next to Tang Wen, and said, "Let's begin."

Blood relation testing was child's play for the pervert.

In front of the two, he took samples of their skin, hair, and blood separately for immediate testing. They sat before him, observing his every move.

The inspection was the simplest task; the pervert didn't even need a robot. He handled it all himself.

Zi Ye had witnessed the pervert conducting these tests before—when he tested the connection between her and the mutated plush beast—so she was quite familiar with this sequence of actions and understood the underlying principles.

Therefore, before the pervert even finished the tests, she knew for certain that she and Tang Wen shared a blood relationship.

She thought to herself that having a convenient older brother wasn't bad; she wouldn't have to worry about warships in future fights, and even destroying a space station wouldn't be a major issue.

Zi Ye grew happier the more she thought about it in her mind. The pervert glanced sideways at her and said, "Are you two from the same father?"

Zi Ye replied, "You can tell that? Can you tell me who my mother is?"

The pervert reviewed every step of the process again, put down his tools, took off his gloves, opened his light screen, and while summarizing the findings, stated, "The other half is indigenous to the Feilu galaxy. No wonder you are so short; the average height there is quite low."

Zi Ye glared at him indignantly. He couldn't even test a bloodline without taking a jab at her; he was so annoying!

The pervert felt immensely satisfied, his smile causing the wrinkles on his face to look like a chrysanthemum blossom. "As for specifically who, I don't know. It's not within my scope of work. If you want to investigate, just hack into the Feilu population registry system, match the information, and whoever corresponds is the person who provided the egg for you."

Zi Ye pouted, "Forget it, I won't dwell on this issue." After abandoning her for so many years, finding her now wouldn't hold much meaning. There were plenty of fatherless and motherless children these days; you could grab any random one off the street who came from a gestation pod. So, by considering herself a child from a gestation pod, all the internal conflict disappeared.

During the testing process, Tang Wen remained silent. Only when the pervert finished writing the results did he carefully call out, "Zi Ye."

Zi Ye turned her head to look at him, smiling sweetly, "Hi, Brother."

Tang Wen’s eyes instantly turned red.

His aura was inherently cool and detached; that touch of faint red in his eyes did nothing to diminish that coolness; rather, it made him look even more exquisitely handsome.

Zi Ye smiled sweetly, "You're my brother now, so you have to look out for me from now on."

Tang Wen was unaccustomed to showing overt emotion and, without seeming to move, suppressed the surging feelings within him. "You are my sister, so who else should I look out for but you?"

Zi Ye put her hands on her hips and laughed heartily, "Hahahaha! Now I can brag to Xiao Wan'er. One brother of mine trumps her three!"

Tang Wen offered a faint smile and was about to speak when the pervert interrupted them. "Hey, hey, don't get lost in your sibling affection. Where is my payment?"

Zi Ye spread her hands, "We haven't gotten to it yet."

The pervert grabbed the knife he hadn't put away and pointed the tip at her. "Hurry up, or I'll fight you!"

Zi Ye shrugged helplessly and said to Tang Wen, "The payment is one Zhe Pei mutant. Brother, I'm counting on you."

Tang Wen was in a good mood and, uncharacteristically, smiled, "Alright."

Zi Ye turned to the pervert. "By the way, Oguang's side isn't safe anymore. Why don't you come to the asteroid belt in the Xilian galaxy and plant roses? I guarantee your safety."

The pervert carefully put down the knife, cleaned his tools one by one as if they were priceless treasures, and put them back into his toolbox. Without looking up, he said, "If I hadn't lent you money, I could plant roses on every asteroid in the Wolf's Lair and still be fine."

Zi Ye threw out incentives to fiercely tempt him. "Are you really not coming? If you come, I can get you a drone for watering and fertilizing, and a warship that can water and fertilize and fight, too!"

The pervert jumped up, his anger flaring, "Stop talking. Just finish setting up the space station quickly, and I'll go secure my territory first."

Zi Ye happily punched her palm, "Wonderful, we get to be neighbors again."

The pervert finished packing his toolbox. "Stop with the nonsense. When do I get the mutant?"

Zi Ye didn't answer directly. "Once you've secured the location of the asteroid, I can give him to you."

The pervert snorted and left with his box.

After the pervert departed, Tang Wan rushed in immediately, looking even more anxious than Zi Ye. "How are you two? Did that creepy old man cut any of you?"

Zi Ye glanced at her, then suddenly put her hands on her hips and roared with laughter, "Xiao Wan'er, I have a brother now. One brother trumps your three!"

Tang Wan looked at Zi Ye, then at Tang Wen, rushed to Tang Wen’s side, and grabbed his arm. "Brother Tang Wen, you are my brother too, right?"

Tang Wen glanced at Zi Ye, noticing she was waiting for his answer. He was in excellent spirits. "Mmm. This 'brother' is different from that brother. If I become your brother, doesn't that mean your brothers also become Zi Ye’s brothers? That way, there's no basis for comparison, right? If I were to become your brother, your three brothers wouldn't agree either."

Tang Wan was accidentally spun around by his complex talk of brothers and, after a long pause, arrived at a conclusion: "Fine, I won't have one then, hmph!"

Zi Ye was finally satisfied. Holding Douzai, she walked out laughing, but when she reached the door, she suddenly remembered Tang Wan, ran back, pulled her along, and didn't forget to wave goodbye to Tang Wen as she left. "Let's go build the space station."

Tang Wan looked back at Tang Wen, struggled for half a second, and then followed Zi Ye.

Blan walked in, smiling, "Congratulations, congratulations."

Tang Wen offered a clear, faint smile. "Let's go find someone to bring Zhe Pei back."

Blan asked, "You aren't staying here?"

Tang Wen shook his head. "I'll prepare a welcome gift for her." For Tang Wen, Zi Ye accepting him as her brother resolved all his issues. After the unpleasantness last time, he knew he couldn't push Zi Ye too hard, nor did he need to. By spending time together gradually, Zi Ye would eventually understand his intentions. As for the welcome gift, he was determined to make Zi Ye immensely surprised.

Blan asked, "Shall I accompany you to prepare the gift first, and then send people to capture Zhe Pei?"

Tang Wen smiled. "No need. Isn't Fia preparing for a regime change? I haven't avenged the previous detention yet."

Blan immediately understood, and the two left the room one after the other, boarding the warship and flying towards the Fia galaxy.

Meanwhile, Zi Ye led Tang Wan to the office. "The construction team for the space station has been confirmed; work starts tomorrow. Before the station is complete, we need to plan the workshop renovations, purchase the production equipment, and secure a long-term supply agreement with the Metal Group to get the warship orders."

Tang Wan stuck out her tongue, looking impressed. "Do we have to do all of this? It sounds incredibly demanding."

Zi Ye felt a surge of pride; being admired by peers felt quite good, and she was in high spirits. "Let’s go to Kolay and check out the production equipment for battleships. What do you think?"

Tang Wan was confused. "Why go to Kolay? Why not come back to the Tang Clan with me? I heard my Second Brother say the Tang Clan has tons of customizable options. You look at what's available, or you can just tell Brother Tang Wen to help you get a custom set, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zi Ye flicked her sharply on the forehead.

Tang Wan protested, "Was what I said wrong?"

Zi Ye countered, "This isn't about two individuals; it's about two legions."
