Chapter 137

Mindy shook her head with smile. “It’s nothing, I just feel like you’ve changed a lot

Dora was taken aback.

Mindy looked at her seriously. “When I first met you, you smiled, but there we always something in your eyes

“How should I put it? Defensiveness?

‘Insecurity?

‘It’s not like that anymore.”

She paused, then grinned. “These days, when you smile, I can see you’re genuinely happy.”

Dora was quiet for a few seconds, then smiled in response.

‘Really?” She glanced out the window. The gray-green rain outside was kept at bay by the shielding barrier making the room feel warm and bright.

Behind her stood five beast mates, each with their own unique personality, watching over this home in their own way

In front of her was a friend who understood her, protected her, and joined her in laughter and playful banter.

‘Mindy,” Dora said, raising her cup, her eyes crinkling with joy, “once the wet season is over, I’ll treat you to something fresh I’ve grown myself.”

‘What is it?” Mindy asked.

“That’s a secret,” Dora said with a wink. “Anyway, you’ve definitely never tasted it before.”

Mindy laughed, “You’re such a tease!”

Their laughter filled the living room.

The girls giggled and chatted nonstop about everything to do with the wet season.

They swapped tips on which supermarket had the most complete stock, which air purifier filter brand gave the best bang for the buck, and even shared stories about the creepiest mutated insect beast they’d ever come across

The drama that had been hanging in the living room all afternoon finally melted away.

Elmer had somehow ended up in the kitchen, claiming he was helping Seven prepare dinner.

But in reality, his light brown eyes kept sneaking glances toward the living room.

Lioren turned into his big cat form, curled up on the windowsill, acting like he was asleep.

His tail would sometimes brush against the window, and his amber eyes were half-shut

No one could tell if he was watching the heavy mist outside or paying attention to what was happening in the living room

Rate had already gone up to the study on the second floor, but before leaving, his eyes lingered on Dora with a look fuil at meaning.

Pucian, no-anwiple, headed down to the basement to check on the ship’s systems, meticulous practical and absolutely Lawless as always.

In the living room, Mindy lowered her voice and asked, “That new beast mate of yours, he seem pretty special doesn’t he?

Dora let out a dry laugh. “I made a childhood promise to marry him when I was five Can you believe it

Mindy raised an eyebrow, her eyes bright. “You mean Commander Colding

Dora nodded. “Yeah.”

Mindy patted Dora’s hand, with the kind of understanding only a true friend has. “If you ever need help just let me know

You’ve got me right here.”

Dora felt warmth bloom in her chest and gave a strong nod.

Enough, enough, stop dodging,” Mindy said, shooting Dora a playful look.

Come on, spill, what really happened last night?

The vibe was totally off the moment I walked in. Your beast mates looked like they were about to tear Clive apart just with heir eyes.”

Dora’s ears turned a little red, but she kept her cool. “It was the first day of the wet season, so everyone was just worried about me.”

Everyone was worried about you?” Mindy snorted. “So, Clive fought his way to be your night-time protector last night. nuh?”

Dora took a deep breath and decided to strike back.

She leaned in close to Mindy, lowering her voice to a sly whisper. “Mindy, enough about me.

What about you? Has your Spatial Realm leveled up recently?”

Mindy’s face broke into a bright, proud smile. “Leveled up!

‘Level 3 Spatial Realm!

‘Only a few days ago!”

Mindy was totally unashamed, just blurting out her happiness. “Dora, honestly, I gotta thank you again for this

Dora blinked. “Thank me?”

“Of course I do,” Mindy said, squeezing Dora’s hand, her voice full of gratitude.

“Those peanuts you gave us, we harvested them and pressed them into peanut oil.

“And we’ve been cooking alien beast meat just like you taught us, remember?

“Thanks to your method, the crystal energy in the meat gets fully released, and now our crystal energy food supply is overflowing!”

Dora listened carefully, and before she knew it, her lips curled up into a smile.

B:50 am

ady wo more and more excited as she spoke “Back then, we could never bring ourselves to cationt crystal ming to we always saved it all for the training zone

Milo and the other guys were always short on crystal energy, so when they went out to hunt mutated aben beans they never dared to take on the higher-level ones, and hardly ever got any rystal ores

“That’s why my beast mates haven’t really leveled up mall these years.

“But ever since we hit the training zone with you guys and scored all those cry star ores, my beast mates all leveled up “And when we got back, the sweet potatoes and potatoes in my Spatial Reaim had a buteper harvest, and they ripened to She paused, her eyes sparkling. “Now, we get to eat crystal energy food every single day.

‘My beast mates are in great shape now, with plenty of crystal energy and their powers stable. So I leveled up ngomong with them.

Level 3 Spatial Realm, can you believe it? We’ve officially made it to middle-class status in the interstellar world

‘Honestly, I never thought it’d happen this fast!”

Dora couldn’t help but feel a surge of real joy for Mindy.

‘Mindy, that’s amazing!” she said, giving Mindy’s hand a firm squeeze. “I’m honestly so happy for you!”

Mindy’s eyes grew misty, and she sniffled, then broke into a smile. “Dora, you’re honestly my lucky star.

‘If we hadn’t teamed up with you in the training zone, and if it weren’t for those seeds you gave us, there’s no way we’d have become a middle-class family in the interstellar world this fast.”

Dora felt a warm glow in her chest, and suddenly, she remembered something.

She reached into her Spatial Realm and took out a blueberry tree she’d been keeping ready for this occasion.

t stood over 2 feet tall, with lush leaves and a few small, green berries dangling from the branches.

Here, this is for you,” Dora said, handing the blueberry tree to Mindy. “Congrats on leveling up your Spatial Realm consider his a little gift.”

Mindy looked down, and her eyes instantly lit up.

A blueberry tree?!” she squeaked, her voice jumping an octave. “Dora, this is way too valuable!

I can’t accept this!

“This is a fruit tree bursting with crystal energy, you can’t find anything like this on the market

“Take it,” Dora insisted, leaving no room for argument.

“You’ve got a Level 3 Spatial Realm now, so you gotta have something worthy of it
