At 4:45 AM on Day 2 in Sector 6, the morning mist over the vegetable garden of the [Gu Family Flying Courtyard Star-Cruiser] was still quiet and silver.
Inside the children’s wing, twelve-year-old Gu Nian, thirteen-year-old Ye Xiao, ten-year-old Su Nuannuan, and nine-year-old Jiang Tuntun were sleeping soundly in their warm beds, while chubby toddler Little Fifth (Ao Xing) snored softly on his feathered pillow with all four little dragon paws sticking straight up in the air.
Inside the courtyard kitchen, however, all twelve lanterns were blazing like a war room before a planetary siege!
Standing in the center of the polished stone kitchen floor was Empress Luo Qingxue—the undisputed #1 Sword Empress of the Nine Heavens, whose name alone made three thousand immortal sects tremble.
Right now, the feared Ice-Sword Empress had tied a floral blue towel around her silver-black hair like a martial headband. Over her snow-white silk robe, she had strapped on twelve-year-old Gu Nian’s spare bright Yellow Bunny Apron, pulling the waist strings as tight as heavenly battle armor!
Spread open on the maple flour-kneading counter in front of her was Auntie Qin’s mortal domestic pamphlet: [A Mortal Wife’s Guide: 100 Ways to Be a Gentle Domestic Mother].
