Chapter 417: Chapter 205: Return
After the wailing, Su Jiameng finally returned to normal. However, in her current state, it’s inconvenient for her to go back. If the children saw her covered in wounds, they would probably be more frightened than joyful. Although her strength is high, she couldn’t withstand the attacks of dozens of giant beasts without using her Mecha, so the battle results are already quite impressive.
Finding a clean water source, Su Jiameng confirmed that there were no dangerous creatures around, then proceeded to take off her clothes and pulled out a heap of bottles and jars from her spatial pocket. Thanks to the existence of the Plane Trading Platform and the incredible healing medicine from the Cultivation Plane, she has relied on these medicines during her missions over the past few years.
If it weren’t for these healing medicines, after four years of missions, her appearance might rival that of her past life’s "Major General Su." Although not bitten by the Insect Race, during missions she often emerged onto various strange and dangerous planets, encountering countless unknown creatures, with a level of danger and excitement that was definitely no small matter. She also didn’t want her injuries to scare the children...
Fortunately, the healing elixirs and medicines from the Cultivation Plane are highly effective. After applying the medicine and properly taking care of herself for a couple of days, she won’t be left with any scars. Moreover, thanks to the items from the Cultivation Plane, she has narrowly escaped death several times, barely surviving until now.
The only pity is that this world has no cultivators, nor can cultivation take place... Thinking of this, Su Jiameng let out a bitter laugh, secretly telling herself that she’s truly insatiable. Already taking advantage of the heaven-defying existence of the Plane Trading Platform, if she’s still not content, she might face divine retribution. With her thoughts spinning, she endured the intense pain to finish cleaning her wounds and applied the medicine.
"Hopefully, by the time I return, the two little ones haven’t fallen asleep yet... They must be feeling quite bored right now."
Su Jiameng let out a bitter laugh, realizing there is a time difference between the two planets, let alone between the Xilena Star System and the Dumla Star System. Her chatbot shows two times, one displaying the time of Qiming Star in the Xilena Star System, and the other following the standard time of the Dumla Star System.
Before starting the mission, she kept reminding herself not to forget the children’s kindergarten graduation ceremony. Who would have thought they would encounter giant beasts attacking them? It takes two or three hours to teleport; now, returning, she doesn’t know if she can make it back to Qiming Star by dawn...
She took out a roll of gauze from the spatial pocket, wrapped it around her body several times, and tied a sturdy knot. Standing up, she clapped her hands, changed into clean, fresh clothes, then threw on another cloak, and casually pulled up the knife stuck in the ground.
Thanks to the Plane Trading Platform cheat code and the Plane Points currency, she traded the accumulated Plane Points and the corpses of a dozen giant beasts with a merchant from the Cultivation Plane. The other party invited an artifact refining expert from the Cultivation Plane to forge this knife using rare cultivation ores and special blade casting techniques. The blade was modeled after "Yongping" and named "Xihe."
Xihe, as the name implies, represents the wish for "hope and peace." Although Su Jiameng is terrible at naming, she is quite satisfied with this knife’s name. As for why she didn’t continue with "Yongping"—after all, they are two different knives, and the mindset and pursuit when wielding them are not the same. She also hopes for a change in sentiment, wishing this time she could fulfill her desires.
This world cannot use so-called magic artifacts, nor does it have any spiritual power, so she didn’t ask the artifact refining expert to add any array to "Xihe." Her requirements for it were lowered to the minimum: as long as the blade is hard and sharp, able to cut through anything, then it’s good enough.
Perhaps Su Jiameng’s requirements were too low, the artifact refining expert felt underestimated and eagerly wanted to prove themselves, thus making "Xihe" as perfect as possible. According to the Cultivation Plane merchant, although "Xihe" is not a spiritual artifact, its defense and attack capabilities are strong enough to cut through spiritual artifacts, which is quite impressive!
Whether it’s impressive or not, Su Jiameng really doesn’t have much of a feeling, yet this "Xihe" is indeed very handy, fitting her habit of using a knife. From the moment "Xihe" reached her hands, countless strange and dangerous creatures have met their end.
And going forward, it will continue to follow her into battle, with the Insect Race being its primary target for slaughter!
The blade of "Xihe" is extremely bright and smooth; no matter what it is, almost nothing can stick to it. Even when blood splashes on it, it quickly flows off, leaving the blade spotless, not requiring any wiping. However, Su Jiameng still maintains the habit of cleaning the blade after battles, not because she is germophobic, but because she doesn’t want too much blood aura to linger.
