Chapter 440: Coming Together Again

It was a lively sight inside the Papatte base, as it was the prelude of war. The Sangs were fearless against their upcoming challenge however. They looked extremely excited. It was the time where they felt their existence, as they had gotten used to war. War had already become the part and parcel of their life.

Ever since they got to Planet Yi Ju, it had been always one training course to another. There was not a time where the Sangs could actually jump into action. They had obeyed the orders without questions but inside them, there was a thirst to express their passion thoroughly in battle.

Even though they were unaware of the exact occurrence, it was blatantly obvious that something would be happening soon, and it would be big. Feeling pumped, they worked hard, like a bunch of hungry tigers loitering in the woods.

The one interesting "occurrence" in the base was about Rui Bing. "She's Teacher's wife?!" The screaming line had determined Rui Bing's fate being forever high-profiled among the Sangs, as curious they were of her, since no ordinary woman could have been the great teacher's wife after all.

And as they had expected, Rui Bing was no ordinary woman, as she demonstrated her strength and earned the Sangs' approval with her fist. It was still a place where fists would speak louder than words. You could not be teacher's wife if you were not as strong. Thought the Sangs, the simple thumb of rule of life.

Rui Bing liked the place a lot, since she would never have the time without a foe to fight. She was more of a true martial arts practitioner compared to Ye Chong who was the teacher. She held an entirely different prospect on martial arts mastery. That was probably why Ye Chong's style was more towards efficiency and experience while Rui Bing gave more attention on self-discovery and breakthrough.

And... Mu/Shang had arrived!

That was one exciting news to Ye Chong, since it had been his ultimate goal of finding them ever since they lost each other. Ye Chong could not help but to reminisce the old days with Mu/Shang on Trash Planet.

Those were the good days...

Thought Ye Chong, his heart felt warm, as the corners of his lips raised.

He missed Mu/Shang, especially when they were the problem-solver upon encounter. The capability of Mu/Shang had been long imprinted in Ye Chong's mind, even when he was no longer that wimpy, incapable boy who lived with the trashes.

The meeting room went silent however, when the visual of the outside got transmitted. People were shocked upon the sight of a gigantic fleet sluggishly traveling towards them in the space.

There was an unspeakable tension when the Coxcomb was taking the lead.

It was a fleet made out of 1000 spaceships of different sizes. None of them was a warship, still the enormous fleet was a grand sight to behold.

Imagine this. In the dark boundless spaces, thousands of spaceships were traveling together in a dense formation across the milky way, in which one would have a length of 10 kilometers and the other having 5 kilometers at average. How impactful it was! They were like a school of sharks, swimming soundlessly in the space.

"Holy...," muttered Guo the old chief upon the sight.

The others' expression was priceless too.

"T-teacher...," Sang Pu gulped, as he mumbled his inquiry, "I-is this that friend you've mentioned before...?"

"Mhm." Ye Chong nodded, "Yes it is." If it was not the Coxcomb that took the lead, probably Ye Chong would need a moment or two to confirm the identity. He was too familiar with the ship. Back on those days, Ye Chong gave in so much to finish the entire modification process of the ship. So no doubt he could identify it at first sight.

But Ye Chong got to admit, he was particularly curious of how Mu/Shang escaped the Red Sea. The fleet was so grand he could already imagine the commotion it caused when it appeared above Terry City.

Back when it happened, the sky of Terry City darkened completely. Torres nearly dropped his jaw when he saw it. Such force, thought he, which force exactly were they from? The fleet was a colorful mess with all different models of spaceship, obviously they were not from the aristocrats.

Torres did not have the time to figure that out however. The visit of the massive fleet was one problem demanded to be resolved immediately, since of where in Terry City could he find a parking space for their landing? The government of the city was almost non-existent and Torres was assigned to be the government itself, as he would supervise on all administration works being the supreme administration leader on Planet Yi Ju.

...(In the Meeting Room)...

"Ye, I hereby present you the digitalized wedding registration certification for both you and your wife. There are 36 styles and a large palette of colors to be chosen upon preferences. Legitimacy: 100%. Difficulty of execution: 0.03. Service would be provided without any charges. Furthermore, based on the trend of the climate changes on Planet Yi Ju since the last 30 years, it has been predicted that within the next 60 and 120 days, the biological reproductivity would be highly feasible, thus the best period of offspring formation." Stated Mu. That was the first thing he said upon seeing Ye Chong. The mechanical voice was ringing a jaw-dropping fact.

Rui Bing's face reddened rapidly and Ye Chong was stupefied, "Mu..."

"It would be plausible to- JUST GET HER! Take out your vertical stick and start the ride, Ye! Ride on the horse, lady! Intimacy is the best policy!" Screamed the mechanical voice expressively, "Certainly. When it comes to the actual technique itself, mhm, Ye, I trust your ability, I have a grand library of information here." The change of tone was uncalled for...

"Shang..." Cold sweats were streaming on Ye Chong's face.

Luckily there were not many people in the room, or the embarrassment was unimaginable. Other than the group on the Coxcomb, there was only Ye Chong and Rui Bing. The Sangs were already sent to the outside before this, since... Mu/Shang was a little... too advanced for the primitives... It would also be better the lesser the number of people knew.

Mu/Shang did not change much physically. The wound from the left shoulder across the body to the waist remained as shocking as before. Ye Chong might have encountered all kinds of advanced models before, including the legendary trio of He Yue themselves, still, somehow something on Mu/Shang caught him. It was the grace and simplicity that no other advanced model could compete, even with that visible scar over the body. Ye Chong believed, if Mu/Shang was unblemished, he would look as good as the legendary trio.

Well, of course, not anybody could simply harass Ye Chong like that, not even Lian Yue the flamboyant genius.

"What had actually happened? Where did you guys get the spaceships? Did you guys seize a fleet?" asked Ye Chong. That was the only sound reason he could think of, though the chances were slim. The Coxcomb was the only warship in the entire fleet. It was nearly impossible for one single warship to take control of the whole fleet. But then, there was Mu/Shang, both of them were the key to unlock the impossible. Who knows what trickery both of them had pulled off.

"This is our own spaceships. A total 902 of them. Most of them contained specific apparatuses and facilities for production," explained Qiu Man.

"Our own spaceships?" Ye Chong did not hold grudge against Qiu Man but her way of saying it was simply odd.

"Both Shang and I made a plan after losing you." Beeped Mu, "By utilizing the techniques in the database, we triggered a mass production under collaboration with other forces. These spaceships are most of the outcomes of the production. We had performed a transfer."

Ye Chong finally got a grip of the situation.

"Unfortunately, due to time constraint, we could only transfer a majority of them, which the remaining... had benefited Shi family," stated Qiu Man spitefully. Although she did not agree to the operation at first, she accepted her destiny and had invested a lot of her efforts. Nevertheless, the masterpiece had been given away, definitely she would be dissatisfied.

"Shi family? Which Shi?" asked Ye Chong.

"Shi family of the Tian Xing Cove."

"Oh, Shi Xin seemed to be there too," said Ye Chong as he thought back his past with Shi Xin and the Jin Gui tribe. Both Shi Xin and eldest son of the Jin Gui tribe had become his apprentice and... well they did pay a large sum of money for the apprenticeship. Thanks to that "tuition fee", Ye Chong could remember them well.

"Did you rob her?" Qiu Man looked shocked, like how Ye Chong thought of the same thing upon seeing Mu/Shang's fleet. The others did not seem surprised as robbing her seemed like what Ye Chong would do.

"I did not. She came for me herself. Mhm, she did give some money," said Ye Chong.

"No way. Shi Xin seemed like a rational person from what I've heard. How would she make such a foolish mistake? Well, if she was on our side, then I do have some workaround to do. Heh, I'll make Shi Tianhu that old fox to spit out everything rightfully ours," said Qiu Man, looking charged as she pondered of her master plan on maximizing this new chess piece on the table.

"So Mu... how did all of you get out of the Red Sea?" asked Ye Chong.
