Chapter 418: Chapter 205: Return (Part 2)
She sheathed the knife and wrapped it with cloth. Slinging it over her back, she found a relatively safe, hidden spot, opened the merchant task interface, and clicked on "teleport." The merchant medal hanging on her chest emitted a faint golden glow, and a circular pattern with a diameter of over two meters emerged beneath her feet.
She had previously consulted merchants from the Cultivation Plane and the Magic Plane about this pattern, only to learn that it was actually a teleportation array. However, this teleportation array was extraordinarily high-level, surpassing the plane, and was a realm that living beings could not comprehend.
Su Jiameng didn’t believe she could fathom it either. As long as she knew this thing could help her fly around the universe, that was enough.
As the interstellar teleportation began, the same circular pattern of the teleportation array appeared under her feet. The surroundings were pitch black, and the entire space was silent, with only the silver-white light beneath her feet quietly flickering, as if becoming eternal in this moment.
Faced with this scene, having experienced countless teleportations, Su Jiameng was very calm. She simply sat cross-legged and opened the Plane Merchant’s list. Through years of relentless effort, her merchant level had soared to Level Eleven, surpassing the previous arms dealer by two levels, and accumulated Plane Points reached 23.6 million.
If not for needing to buy essential consumables for tasks and things for the kids, her Plane Points would be even more. However, 23.6 million might seem a lot, but to Su Jiameng, it was still not enough! She needed more Plane Points to support future actions. Thinking about the scenes she would face in the future, she felt even more time-pressed, not having enough time at all.
Although this teleportation array was incredible, being a teleportation between two distant star systems, it still took at least two to three hours. She could only calm her mind, empty her thoughts, so she wouldn’t feel the wait was too hard.
In the Xilena Star System, on Qiming Star, Changxi and Su Mo struggled hard to lull two buns to sleep. Even though they were robots with infinite energy, they still found it tough to handle two energetic little rascals.
"Young masters..." Changxi sighed helplessly at the closed door. When he last contacted Su Jiameng, she promised she’d be back in time for the graduation ceremony, but now the time had almost passed... He understood his master very well; he was punctual and kept promises. If she was absent now, could she have encountered some tricky problem?
Changxi sent Su Mo to do a routine cleaning in Su Jiameng’s room while he went downstairs for cleaning. He came across Gu Ningxuan sitting alone on the swing in the courtyard, with quite a few empty bottles beside him... hehe, it seemed someone’s mood wasn’t great either.
Changxi approached, frowning, and asked, "Mr. Gu, why aren’t you resting at such a late hour? Be careful of catching a cold in the night wind."
"Am I that frail?" Gu Ningxuan gave a bitter smile and continued to drink in silence.
He wasn’t a drinker, nor was he a "Thousand Cups of Alcohol" kind of person, but his strong physique made getting drunk on a few bottles of beer quite difficult. However, he usually drank in moderation, only to warm himself up a little, never intending to get drunk like today.
"Although you say so, Mr. Gu, you’re departing tomorrow. If your alcohol level exceeds the limit, you might fail the security check." Changxi said calmly, "You know how strict the security is for interplanetary travel."
Gu Ningxuan’s hand stiffened, then he reluctantly put down the bottle, "Changxi Housekeeper has quite... a unique way of persuasion."
Changxi rolled his eyes secretly. Without being "unique," how could he keep up with Su Mo’s thinking?
Years of companionship had led them to acquire each other’s habits. However, for Su Mo, who considered Gu Ningxuan as her supreme idol for five years straight... hehe, for Changxi, that was reason enough not to be fond of Gu Ningxuan.
"Go back... there’s no one to wait for." The day-night temperature difference on Qiming Star was quite significant, and the night’s temperatures were generally quite low. Standing in the howling night wind... Changxi, being a robot, was fine, but it wasn’t good for Gu Ningxuan after drinking.
Gu Ningxuan’s hand paused, looking slightly shocked, "How did you... guess I was here to..."
"Your intentions... in this house, other than the master, is there anyone who doesn’t understand?" Changxi gave him a contemptuous look as if saying not to insult his intelligence, "She was supposed to be back today, but she probably ran into some unexpected event, delaying her. Waiting here until dawn won’t help..."
Gu Ningxuan scratched his head in embarrassment, wondering if his thoughts were really that obvious? Since Changxi put it that way, he couldn’t just continue waiting outside. He tidied up the messy bottles and was about to head back.
Meanwhile, Su Mo was cleaning Su Jiameng’s room. Although it had been unoccupied for long, cleaning was still necessary. Halfway through, a circular light shone on the floor. As the light dispersed, it revealed the person in the center.
Su Mo nearly exclaimed, managing to suppress it, and spoke in a lowered voice, "The well-behaved... loli master?"
Seeing the unchanged room, Su Jiameng handed her coat to Su Mo and let down her hair, "Su Mo, I’m back. Has anything happened at home while I was away?"
Su Mo held the coat tight, "Everything as usual, the young masters are very well too."
"I’ll go check on the kids first; continue cleaning." Su Jiameng pushed the door open and entered the room where her two buns were. (To be continued.
