Chapter 1393: It Really Is You Two

Xia Yingluo suddenly awoke. She opened the battleship control room in front of the control panel and pressed on a few buttons.

On the screen, the gleaming reflection of waves in sunlight drifted past, arranging into a mysterious flickering stream of light.

Li Rui looked at the screen. Although he couldn’t understand what it was, he was instinctively attracted by the strange rhythm. The ripple was so mysterious and beautiful, different from any figure and text he had ever seen. “What is this?” he asked.

Xia Yingluo said, “The text of the Skatana Planet shows that the stealth mode is turned on, and the anti-tracking device is also turned on.” Turning on the stealth mode was to prevent being watched by humans, and at the same time, turning on the anti-tracking device was to let Wei Lingnan unaware of their whereabouts. She believed that with the strength of the Wei family’s base, tracking down this warship was an easy feat.

After doing all this, she pulled her hands from the console and leaned on the control chair in the central area. Her human body was slender and petite. She looked like a goblin in a petal on the huge control chair, with her long hair flowing like a stream of water, like a fragrant flower core.

Li Rui played the spirit of a curious baby again, pointing to the chair and asking, “Are the people on the Skatana Planet so big?”

That chair loaded more than her whole body and could almost become a bed.

Xia Yingluo said absently, “That was designed to adapt to the size of our animal transformation.”

The Skatana tribe had two forms, one was the human form, and the original one was the beast itself. Of course, for a variety of needs, they were often half-human, half-beast, or the localized form of a beast. Their seats could be adjusted to the appropriate size according to the different shapes of the tribe, but for the time being, Xia Yingluo was too lazy to use unnecessary energy of the battleship.

She glanced at the control data on the screen. The ship was running out of energy, and the red light started flashing.

This ship was very energy-consuming and needed to use a precious ore in the universe to be energized. Once the energy was depleted, the Skatana tribe could take advantage of the energy stored in their bodies to complement the warship’s, but this loss was too large and Xia Yingluo had no intention of doing that.

Soon, Li Rui also noticed the red alert. “Why, is it out of order? It won’t crash, will it? Will we die?”

“Shut up.” Xia Yingluo forced back the urge to roll her eyes. This brother didn’t make her feel peaceful from the moment they flew, but she dutifully explained to him, “The energy is not enough. I remember dad has a villa in the suburbs, so we’ll land there.”

The villa was the villa where Li Lei had first met Xia Ling. There were all private villas nearby, so it was secretive and safe.

Li Rui was relieved. Wei Lingnan suddenly appeared when he entered the battleship earlier, and then Yingluo’s mood became strange. He only cared to appease his sister and didn’t have time to look at this alien battleship. Now, he could finally be at ease. He walked around excitedly and asked a hundred questions. Xia Yingluo almost threw him off the ship.

She vowed never to bring her second brother onto the warship ever again.

She vowed.

The warship successfully landed in the villa. No one was in the vicinity, so there were no onlookers. Xia Yingluo kept the warship immediately and the large ship folded up in layers. Finally, it turned into a little thing in the shape of a cuboid on her hands, which she directly put in her pocket. Li Rui stared with wide eyes. “That’s true portability.”

“High tech,” Xia Yingluo casually said. “Otherwise, why did you think Earth was willing to form an alliance with me? The Skatana Planet can conquer the universe.”

“Really?” Li Rui was skeptical.

Xia Yingluo gave him a cold look.

Li Rui touched his nose and followed her towards the mountainside villa. “Yingluo, even if what you said is true, wouldn’t it become just a scrap of metal when it has no energy? What are you going to do next? You went to all the trouble to get it from the Wei family’s base, just to get this scrap metal out? You want to fly it back to space?” He suddenly stopped here. “You… you really want to go back?”

Xia Yingluo didn’t expect Li Rui to have guessed her intentions so early, and she calmly said, “I will stay here with our parents till the end of their retirement.” As for after the end of their retirement, it was another matter.

Li Rui didn’t know her plans and just stared at her. “Are you really not going?”

Xia Yingluo also looked at him seriously. “Skatana is my hometown, and so is here. I have you, my loved ones, and half of the Earth’s blood flowing in me. It’s impossible to abandon you all. Second Brother, you may rest assured, the Skatana people’s lifespan is very long. I have many years to deal with my responsibility as the queen and accompany you all…”

She smiled somewhat sadly. “It’s just a hundred years.”

The sorrow in her voice made his heart ache slightly, but he keenly captured the meaning of her words. “Once we die, you’ll leave?”

This time, she nodded.

Li Rui was quiet for a moment, then he suddenly smiled and reached out to touch her head. “Silly, why are you upset? Even if you are thoroughly human, you won’t have a hundred years to accompany us. When I die, and see that you’re well and alive and about to board the warship into the magnificent universe… I’ll be very happy. I’ll be proud of you, Yingluo.”

Her heart ached as she nodded forcefully.

The topic of life and death parting made the atmosphere a little heavy, and the two walked forward for a while. The forest was lush, and the insects and birds were creeping about.

Li Rui suddenly asked, “Even if you have to leave, it will be a long time later, so why did you snatch the warship from Wei Lingnan now? He will have countless opportunities to snatch it back. Aren’t you just finding trouble for yourself? Wouldn’t it be nicer to get it on the day you leave?”

Xia Yingluo said, “It was unexpected.”

She originally planned to wait a hundred years for her parents before snatching the battleship. Actually, she didn’t even need to snatch it from him, she only needed to ask Wei Lingnan. But recently, those things Wei Lingnan did made her change her mind—wasn’t he forcing her to forgive him? Then she would tell him, she could leave Earth whenever she wanted! Nobody could threaten her like that! If she was angry, she was able to leave immediately.

Of course, she wouldn’t set sail immediately, but Wei Lingnan didn’t know that.

When he saw the warship at the Wei family’s base, his horrified expression showed that he thought she was going to fly away.

This was a lesson she had given him.

The man was so arrogant that she wanted to make him understand that not everything was in his hands.

After a long walk, the two came near the Li family’s villa area, but before they approached it, the butler guarding it had brought someone to welcome them and said with a smile, “Ah Si told me just now that it was the Second Master arriving with Miss. I didn’t believe him, but it really is you two!”
