“Be careful with everything. Don’t cause trouble.”
After sending Lian Qiguang out the door, Lian Yucheng was still somewhat uneasy, deeply aware of Lian Qiguang’s talent for getting into trouble.
“Mm.”
He responded expressionlessly, but his mind had already begun spinning elsewhere again.
“Qiguang will be troubling you.”
Knowing that saying anything to Lian Qiguang would be useless—saying that he would forget the moment he turned around was actually giving him too much credit—Lian Yucheng could guarantee that Lian Qiguang had not heard a single word he said. Helpless, he could only entrust him to Yuan Ling, who had been standing nearby with a bitter expression the entire time.
“Of course. This is my duty.”
Yuan Ling put away the gloom on his face and answered righteously.
“And you too, listen properly!”
Seeing that Lian Qiguang still looked as though his mind had wandered into outer space, Lian Yucheng could no longer suppress his temper.
“Yes.”
Lian Qiguang gave a completely expressionless military salute, causing Lian Yucheng’s chest to tighten from being speechless.
“Sister-in-law, let’s go.”
Yuan Ling opened the door of the aircraft and gestured.
“I’m leaving.”
Lian Qiguang waved his hand expressionlessly, without even the slightest trace of reluctance. Seeing this, Lian Yucheng felt extremely uncomfortable. He always felt inexplicably wronged, as if the little pet he had raised with all his heart for many years had suddenly been given away to someone else.
“Second Brother!!”
Lian Xiaozhu, who had been hiding inside the house to avoid Lian Qiguang all this time, suddenly ran out and shouted loudly.
The body of Lian Qiguang, who was about to enter the aircraft, paused. He slowly turned around and looked at Lian Xiaozhu expressionlessly.
One hand pressed against his lips, then quickly moved away, as if it had only lightly brushed past. But Lian Xiaozhu understood the meaning behind it. The words she was about to say immediately became stuck in her throat.
Watching Lian Qiguang enter the aircraft and disappear into the distance, Lian Xiaozhu opened her mouth but remained silent for a long time.
“Second Brother…”
…
Thank you.
(Inside the aircraft)
The game in Lian Qiguang’s hands made rapid pa pa sounds as he played. Yuan Ling sat in the front, occasionally glancing backward. Several times he wanted to speak but stopped himself.
“Are we going to ride a spaceship?”
After being defeated again, Lian Qiguang casually tossed the computer aside and looked toward Yuan Ling.
“Huh? Ah! Yes!”
Startled by Lian Qiguang’s sudden question, Yuan Ling quickly recovered and nodded.
“Where is the spaceship?”
“It’s in the First District’s Level One Confidential Military Base. As Blue Star’s most important military facility, commercial aircraft cannot approach the Undying Star. Also, according to regulations, large-scale spaceships cannot enter human residential areas. So we need to go to the First District first.”
“Can it transform?”
“…What?”
Yuan Ling was stunned by the question and could not understand what he meant.
“Can the spaceship transform? Like Transformers?”
Lian Qiguang asked with an expressionless face, but with an unusually serious tone. To others, however, he looked completely adorable.
“…”
What was Transformers?
Yuan Ling quietly placed his hand beside him and searched it on his optical computer.
Unfortunately, there were no results.
“…”
It couldn’t?
Lian Qiguang lowered his eyes. Deep down, he was still a little disappointed.
“Cough! That… Sister-in-law, why don’t you sleep for a while? I’ll wake you when we arrive.”
Seeing Lian Qiguang’s disappointment, Yuan Ling inexplicably felt a little guilty about his ignorance and could only change the subject.
Having lost some interest in the spaceship, Lian Qiguang surprisingly listened obediently to Yuan Ling’s suggestion. He shifted his position and lay down.
Because he had treated Lian Xiaozhu’s illness, he had not slept well last night. Now that Yuan Ling mentioned it, he really did feel tired.
Seeing Lian Qiguang close his eyes, Yuan Ling adjusted the temperature inside the aircraft, trying his best to make him sleep comfortably.
When Lian Qiguang woke up, the sky had already begun to darken.
He pushed away the blanket covering him and sat up sleepily, staring blankly at the quiet surroundings.
Click.
The aircraft door opened. Yuan Ling leaned inside. Seeing that Lian Qiguang was awake, he immediately smiled.
“Sister-in-law, you’re awake? We’ve arrived. Let’s go.”
Looking at Yuan Ling, Lian Qiguang’s mind took half a beat to process. But he still obediently got up and walked out of the aircraft.
He watched as Yuan Ling stored away the aircraft, then began leading the way.
They passed through rows of precise and strictly constructed buildings, going through layer after layer of security systems and metal doors.
Along the way, Lian Qiguang successfully attracted a one hundred percent rate of people turning back to look.
Watching Yuan Ling repeatedly input passwords, scan fingerprints, and perform iris recognition, Lian Qiguang’s originally sleepy eyes gradually became clear. His gaze darkened as he looked at the layers of protection.
Unconsciously, a trace of caution appeared in his eyes.
He disliked this feeling of being restricted and monitored everywhere.
“Captain Yuan.”
After entering a metal room, a man in military uniform walked over and gave Yuan Ling a crisp military salute.
“Tsk. You’re doing pretty well.”
Seeing the two bars and one star on the man’s shoulder, Yuan Ling clicked his tongue lightly, a smile appearing on his face.
“Rank doesn’t mean much. I actually envy you guys over there.”
The man smiled helplessly.
“Enough nonsense. Is the spaceship ready?”
“It has been prepared for a long time. We’ve just been waiting for you.”
The man said this and prepared to turn around, but as he did, he caught sight of Lian Qiguang hidden behind Yuan Ling. His brows immediately furrowed.
“This is…”
“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. Didn’t you learn that back in military school?”
Yuan Ling shifted slightly, blocking Lian Qiguang behind him, and handed over a metal card.
“The Major General personally arranged it. Level One Confidential.”
Looking at the metal card in his hand, the man opened his optical computer and scanned it.
A dense amount of information immediately appeared.
The man’s face could not hide his shock.
“Don’t spread this around.”
“I understand.”
The man returned the metal card. His previously relaxed expression immediately became serious, and his gaze toward Lian Qiguang was filled with respect.
“This way, please.”
The man walked to a wall, entered a password, scanned his iris, then dripped blood for DNA verification.
The heavy metal door slowly opened.
“Let’s go.”
Yuan Ling lowered his voice.
Lian Qiguang silently followed.
The moment he entered the space beyond the door, a fierce and domineering pressure rushed toward him.
Lian Qiguang raised his head and stared blankly at the enormous, luxurious, silver-gray spaceship before him.
His mind buzzed.
“The spaceship will depart in thirty minutes. You and this…”
When mentioning Lian Qiguang, the man’s tone paused.
“Lian.”
Yuan Ling reminded him.
“You and this Young Master Lian should enter the spaceship first and wait.”
“Alright. Thank you for your trouble.”
“No trouble.”
The man waved his hand, then looked at Lian Qiguang with a complicated expression, saluted him, and turned away.
“Sister-in-law, let’s go.”
Yuan Ling gestured politely.
“…”
Lian Qiguang glanced at him, expressionless, then walked toward the spaceship.
Although his face remained calm, his heart could not hide the rapidly beating excitement.
A spaceship!
It was a real spaceship!
He finally got to see one alive.
Yuan Ling led Lian Qiguang into the spaceship through the lowered staircase.
The lights turned on, and the interior was filled with dazzling silver.
Lian Qiguang closed his eyes, calming his slightly dizzy head, then slowly walked through the spaceship.
He carefully examined the dense metal structures and the glowing buttons.
His eyes were filled with undisguised curiosity.
“Sister-in-law, you’re really impressive.”
Yuan Ling followed behind him and laughed.
“Very few people can stay this calm the first time they enter a spaceship. When I first came in here, I directly threw up. The first time I actually flew, I stayed in bed for an entire month before recovering.”
“But Sister-in-law, you don’t need to worry. When the spaceship takes off later, just return to your room. Once you fall asleep, you won’t know anything.”
Afraid that Lian Qiguang would become nervous, Yuan Ling hurriedly comforted him.
Lian Qiguang glanced at Yuan Ling and said nothing.
He did not tell Yuan Ling that the first time he rode in a vehicle, he had vomited for an entire month before adapting.
The first time he rode an airplane, he had actually smashed the airplane.
Because of that incident, the little Crown Prince had directly confined him for a month.
Later, it took him two years before he could ride airplanes normally.
During that time, no one knew how many airplanes had suffered from his hands.
“Sister-in-law.”
Seeing that Lian Qiguang continued silently examining the spaceship interior, Yuan Ling endured for a long time before finally asking:
“Don’t you want to know what identity Big Brother arranged for you?”
“…”
I don’t want to know.
Expressionlessly, Lian Qiguang poked a red button inside the spaceship.
Suddenly, a door popped open.
His heart jumped. He immediately clenched his fists and entered a defensive stance.
But after waiting for a long time without anything happening, Lian Qiguang slowly relaxed and walked inside.
Seeing that Lian Qiguang had no intention of paying attention to him, Yuan Ling held himself back for a while before finally continuing.
“Sister-in-law, Big Brother arranged a very extraordinary identity for you.”
“…”
Lian Qiguang.
“A three-element ability user. An Air Rank expert.”
Yuan Ling built up enough suspense before solemnly announcing it, waiting for Lian Qiguang to show surprise.
But…
Five minutes passed.
“Sister-in-law, don’t you feel shocked?”
Yuan Ling was discouraged.
“Not shocked.”
He already was one.
Although he was not an Air Rank expert yet, he would be very soon.
“Sister-in-law…”
“What relationship do you have with him?”
Lian Qiguang’s sudden question interrupted Yuan Ling.
“Him? Who?”
“The one just now.”
“Oh! Him? We were classmates in military school. After graduation, he stayed on Blue Star while I went directly to the front lines. Later, we didn’t meet many times. Why? Is something wrong?”
“No.”
Expressionless.
“I thought you knew him.”
Yuan Ling smiled.
However, before his smile could finish, Lian Qiguang’s next sentence froze the expression on his entire face.
“His brows are dark, and a bloody aura surrounds the top of his head. I’m afraid he will encounter a disaster involving blood soon.”
“…………”
“Sister-in-law, you…”
“The spaceship is about to depart. Please take your positions immediately.”
The metallic announcement echoed throughout the huge spaceship, cutting off Yuan Ling’s unfinished words.
“It’s time to depart.”
Lian Qiguang turned around and looked at Yuan Ling expressionlessly.
“…”
Yuan Ling.
“Sister-in-law, let’s go. I’ll take you to your room.”
Yuan Ling covered his face, swallowing a mouthful of blood in frustration.
“Thank you for troubling you.”
Lian Qiguang copied his tone exactly.
“…”
Yuan Ling.
Big Brother!! Hurry and come take your wife away!! AHHHHHH!!!!
