The Little Skull was docked in a shipyard.
As a result, the T3-class interstellar warships originally scheduled to be in this dock were specially moved to other locations.
After all, a starship as large as the Little Skull has never appeared in the Star Shark Guild before.
Looking at the docked 'Little Skull' through the shuttle's porthole, Uncle Dog suspected it was a T4-class interstellar warship.
But since it was someone else's starship, he couldn't ask too many questions.
"Miss, why didn't you give us a heads-up before you came back?" Uncle Dog looked at Xue Xiaoxiao inside the shuttle, glancing at the man and woman behind her out of the corner of his eye.
The man in question was the boss the young lady had mentioned.
"You didn't tell me beforehand that Xiaoxiao was getting married."
She married that freak from the Qian family.
Don't you all know what kind of person that guy from the Qian family is?
"And they're going to push Xiaoxiao into the fire!" Xue Xiaoxiao's expression showed that she was very angry about this.
"This...this...we also have our own difficulties," Uncle Dog said awkwardly.
"Hmph. If my mother doesn't give me an explanation, I'm not done with her!" Xue Xiaoxiao said, crossing her arms.
Uncle Dog sighed helplessly.
He didn't want to talk about that topic any further, so he turned the conversation to the man.
“Our young lady must have received a lot of care from you, and on behalf of Star Shark, I would like to express my gratitude.”
"May I ask which faction you belong to?" Uncle Dog greeted Zhao Chen with the traditional greeting of an interstellar adventurer.
Zhao Chen returned the salute.
"The Starry Empire is just a lord of a small territory, not worth mentioning," Zhao Chen said.
Xue Xiaoxiao's lips twitched, but she didn't expose Zhao Chen's true colors.
My boss is pretending to be a pig again.
“Starry Empire...” Uncle Dog nodded. He had heard before that the young lady had gone to the Starry Empire, but her whereabouts had been kept secret for the past few years.
I guess only the president knows.

The shuttle came to a stop.
The hatch opened.
"We've arrived, please." Uncle Dog invited Zhao Chen and the others to leave.
Zhao Chen and the others stepped off the shuttle. The surrounding environment was a hangar, but the architectural style was rather simple and old.
A group of people were standing not far away, seemingly waiting for Zhao Chen and his companions.
One of the beautiful women stood at the very front.
Zhao Chen noticed that Xue Xiaoxiao paused noticeably, completely losing the accusatory attitude she had displayed on the shuttle.
The beautiful woman strode towards Zhao Chen with her long, fair legs.
The beautiful woman was about 1.8 meters tall. If Zhao Chen hadn't undergone physical enhancements that increased his height, he probably wouldn't have been as tall as her.
The beautiful woman's attire was somewhat similar to the cheongsam Zhao Chen wore in his previous life.
The cheongsam is predominantly black and red, with some gold thread patterns. It also has a high slit that goes up to the upper thigh, revealing the black stockings worn underneath.
Every gesture of this beautiful woman exudes a variety of charms.
Sometimes she is as alluring as a stunning beauty, and sometimes as shy as a delicate woman.
Her delicate eyebrows were like clear water, and her jade-like skin was accompanied by a gentle breeze.
This is a woman with a story.
The beautiful woman ignored the stiff Xue Xiaoxiao and walked directly to Zhao Chen. With a slight smile, she extended her jade-like hand, clad in a black lace glove: "Lord Xiaolong has come in person. I am so sorry for not welcoming you properly."
Let me introduce myself first. I am Ghost Princess, the guild leader of the Star Shark Interstellar Adventurers Guild of the Star Alliance.
This woman knew her own background.
Zhao Chen remained expressionless, extended his hand, and shook hands with the other person.
Feeling those soft, jade-like hands, Zhao Chen could hardly believe that such a seemingly delicate woman was like this.
He was actually the guild leader of the largest interstellar adventurers' guild in the Star Alliance.
And she's Xue Xiaoxiao's mother...
Zhao Chen had no doubt that she was Xue Xiaoxiao's older sister.
"I've long admired Sister Ghost Princess," Zhao Chen said politely.
elder sister?
Xue Xiaoxiao's expression froze for a moment.
What are you doing?
You call me Mother Sister, so what should I call you?
You're taking advantage of me!
"I am extremely grateful for the care that Lord has given me during this time," Guiji Guild Master said again.
It seems that Xue Xiaoxiao has actually been under her mother's surveillance all along.
From graduating from the Starship Military Academy of the North Star to joining the Xiaolong System, although they were far apart, President Guild Master Guild Master kept track of her daughter's whereabouts.
“We are classmates, and I should be grateful that she came to help me.”
We're here in the Star Alliance on business, so we thought we'd take this opportunity to pay a visit.
As for me... you don't really need to worry about me.
"You and your daughter haven't seen each other in a long time, let's talk about your relationship first." Zhao Chen pointed to Xue Xiaoxiao, who was practically invisible beside him.
Xue Xiaoxiao looked dead; our commander really knows how to bring up the most sensitive topics.
Guild Master Oni also looked at her daughter who had been away for many years. Her gaze was cold, but there were more emotions hidden deep within that coldness.
"So you still know to come back?" Gui Ji Guild Leader looked at Xue Xiaoxiao's tone of voice, which was completely different from when she was talking to Zhao Chen earlier.
"Mother...Mother..." Xue Xiaoxiao clutched the hem of her clothes, her expression timid like a cat that had made a mistake.
He doesn't look like a captain who once commanded T4 starships in holy war duels at all!
“If it were before, I would have locked you in a dark room for a year.”
But this time, it seems I'll spare you the punishment for Lord Dragon Lord's sake.
Since you like being outside, I'll grant your wish.
From this day forward, the Starshark Interstellar Adventurers Guild will no longer have you, Xue Xiaoxiao. You can go back to the Dragon Slayer Legion and be your captain.
"Ah Gou, see the guest out."
After saying that, President Oni turned around and prepared to leave.
Xue Xiaoxiao clearly didn't expect her mother to pull such a stunt on her.
She had considered their meeting; she imagined they might hit her, fly into a rage, scold her, severely punish her, or even imprison her.
But she never expected that her mother would sever her ties with the Star Shark Guild.
At this moment, Xue Xiaoxiao was devastated. She asked herself if she had really made a mistake by leaving alone back then.
Her body swayed, as if she were about to collapse.
At that moment, a large hand pressed down on her back.
"If you don't understand something, figure it out yourself."
Even if you're wrong, you can't be wrong in a muddled way.
All you need to remember is that you are now the captain of the JF-17 Legion. No matter what mistakes you make, the JF-17 Legion will be there to support you.
If anyone should be punished, it's the Falcon Legion that has the right to deal with you!
So, now you'd better show me the spirit of the Falcon Legion.
The commander's words were like a wake-up call.
Xue Xiaoxiao rushed out and ran straight to Gui Ji, the guild leader. She opened her arms and said righteously, "Mother, I know that something must have happened to our Star Shark Guild."
Otherwise, you would never have let Xiaoxiao marry that bastard from the Qian family.
You can hide it from me now, you can kick me out.
But you know my temperament; I'll find the answer myself, and no one can stop me!
