Chapter 1109: Chapter 1108: Complaints
In such circumstances, they wouldn’t rashly land if the place they chose was an ice-covered surface. Even if nothing happened to them, once the ice couldn’t withstand the spaceship’s weight, that would be no joke.
After a good while, they finally saw a patch of brown land behind a mountain, where the wind and snow were blocked by the mountain, leaving the land uncovered.
Yanran and the "Ba Lv" spaceship landed steadily on that patch of land.
Yanran opened the main door, but as soon as she stuck her head out, she immediately pulled back: "It’s so cold outside, it’ll freeze you to death."
"That exaggerated? Let me see." Ba Lv said as she squeezed past Yanran.
Yanran wasn’t wrong; this ice-covered planet indeed felt extremely cold.
"Wanna go down for a stroll?" Yanran asked Ba Lv.
"Since we’re here, let’s go and have some fun, or else it’ll be several days before we can stop again." Ba Lvluo thought for a moment and replied to Yanran.
Although this isn’t a great place to rest, it’s better than staying on the spaceship. Since they left Erma Planet, they’ve been flying almost continuously for a month.
Apart from briefly stopping for a few hours on two planets along the way, they spent nearly all their time on the ship.
Although the spaceship was comfortable, it didn’t feel quite right. Ba Lv sometimes even felt like they were prisoners, and the ship was their cage depriving them of freedom.
Jiang Cheng was someone who could handle loneliness. During his solo travels in space, he spent most of his time alone. However, he was indifferent to it all and, in fact, enjoyed it.
Yanran was a reserved person who could also handle loneliness, likely because of her past on the Nameless Planet during her youth.
Think about it; in that desolate and dangerous barren land, without any peers, only a few old folks accompanied her for several years. If she could endure such days, what loneliness was there to fear?
But Ba Lv was different; although she was a killer, there was never a shortage of people her age around her.
Even though those people didn’t know her true identity, it didn’t stop them from talking to her and each other.
Moreover, the Black Exhaust Organization was large enough that the higher-ups recruited many young people for development.
So, while Ba Lvluo didn’t form deep bonds with them, she wasn’t short on playmates or people to talk to.
Yanran and Ba Lv had been training for several days straight; continuous training like this isn’t good, "more haste, less speed."
So, when their spaceship passed by a planet, Jiang Cheng suggested they take a break here, letting the two of them relax and unwind.
This planet was covered in ice and snow, with hardly anything but white in the view.
Moreover, the temperature here was extremely cold. Although they could withstand the cold, it was very uncomfortable, making Yanran almost not want to go down.
However, Ba Lv didn’t think the same way.
Even though she felt it was cold outside, she preferred spending some time in the icy world rather than being cooped up on the spaceship.
"Let’s go, since we’re here, let’s stroll a bit," Ba Lv suggested to Yanran.
Seeing Ba Lv’s eager appearance, Yanran didn’t want to dampen her spirits and went down with her.
Ever since Ba Lv received guidance from Jiang Cheng, she seemed to open up her mind as if awakened.
During this time, she was noticeably more diligent than before.
As a good friend, Yanran was happy to see her working so hard, but she also knew that constantly training wasn’t good.
After all, people aren’t machines, and constant tension isn’t good; it might even cause various issues.
That’s why she wanted to help Ba Lvluo relax a bit.
Initially, the two of them didn’t walk far. They had already seen that aside from snow and ice, there wasn’t much else to see on this planet.
The two of them didn’t talk, just walked casually, listening to the snow crunching beneath their feet.
Ba Lv took advantage of Yanran not paying attention and mischievously grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it down Yanran’s neck before running away triumphantly.
How could Yanran let Ba Lv get away with it so easily? She grabbed a handful of snow, formed a snowball, and threw it at Ba Lv.
Ba Lv dodged and promptly grabbed another snowball to fight back.
So, the two of them started a snowball fight on this desolate planet.
Their bell-like laughter echoed over the silent planet, bringing a bit of life to it.
Ba Lv used to be an assassin, and a very skilled one at that, so she knew how to use the terrain to her advantage. While being chased by Yanran, she kept hiding and then ambushed Yanran.
Such ambushes were always effective; just like now, Yanran got hit with another snowball.
After a successful ambush, she sped off, happily hiding behind a large rock.
She remained silent, holding two snowballs, waiting for Ruoran to approach.
"Ba Lv! Ba Lv! "Yanran shouted, unable to see Ba Lvluo, her voice tinged with urgency.
Here the temperature was extremely cold, and Yanran had a hard time enduring it.
Who could blame her? The Nameless Planet she was from had a pleasant climate all year round.
She grew up there, living in the perpetually spring-like climate for a long time, having adapted to it.
This cold planet was truly hard for her to bear.
"If you don’t come out, I’m going back." Yanran threatened when Ba Lv still didn’t appear.
"I’m serious, did you hear me?" Yanran called out, "It’s too cold here, I can’t take it."
Ba Lv still didn’t emerge.
"I’m leaving, if you don’t come out, I’ll leave you here alone." Yanran’s voice now carried a hint of anxiety. She knew Ba Lvluo liked to mess around, but she wasn’t someone who’d ignore others’ feelings.
Since Yanran said she was cold, if Ba Lvluo heard it, she’d surely come out of hiding, at most complaining a bit, saying it wasn’t fun, or the game was dull.
She wouldn’t just stay silent, not even showing her face.
"Ba Lv!" Yanran called out loudly, "Are you here?" Her voice already expressed much anxiety.
After waiting a bit longer and still not seeing Ba Lv, Yanran realized something must have happened to Ba Lvluo.
Xuran’s mind raced swiftly, and as she decided to return to find Jiang Cheng, the previously thin snowflakes suddenly intensified.
At the same time, a strong wind started to howl.
In moments, the tracks they left on their way were completely covered by the snow.
In Yanran’s eyes, all she could see was a vast expanse of white.
The wind was so fierce, it made it hard for Yanran to open her eyes, so she had to take shelter behind a rock.
