Capítulo 1095: Chapter 861: That’s All You’ve Got?
Walk with sincerity, come with respect.
The City Defense Army Captain, who almost raised his gun earlier, stood beside Captain Libby holding a bottle of alcohol and a stack of fine deer hide.
“Captain.”
Libby took these items, looking at the other with a displeased expression, “Get lost.”
The captain hurriedly retreated to the side.
He clearly knew Captain Libby’s character, and this was probably to protect him.
Libby looked at Mu Fan, dipped the silver card into the alcohol bottle for a moment, then used tweezers to take it out and wiped it clean with the deer hide until it was shiny and new.
After he finished, Libby carefully wrapped the card in another piece of deer hide, then walked respectfully towards Lu Qingxue.
“I implore your forgiveness!”
A ninety-degree bow, the four words resounding clearly.
Witnessing this scene, many of the veteran mercenaries around were in an uproar.
In their minds, they had never seen Captain Libby in such a humble posture, yet now he was bowing reverently to a woman.
In a place like Sky Bear Star, which is full of desperate men, women are often merely appendages.
Lu Qingxue looked at the deer hide held high before her, then glanced at Mu Fan, her cold gaze revealing emotions that were complex and difficult to describe.
Back then, what she did casually for Mu Fan was receiving such a ceremonious treatment, but this wasn’t what Lu Qingxue was concerned about; she was surprised that Mu Fan regarded this matter so highly, something she hadn’t anticipated from the beginning.
“Alright.”
With a gentle sound, Lu Qingxue extended her fair, slender hand to take the card wrapped in deer hide.
Captain Libby heaved a long sigh of relief, feeling the weight lift off his shoulders.
Accepting it meant that the grievances between the two parties had finally ended.
“Your magnanimity is as unforgettable as your beauty.” Libby uttered another compliment, but Lu Qingxue didn’t respond. Instead, she quietly returned to stand beside Mu Fan, like a Snow Lotus accompanying a boulder, serene and fragrant.
Now all eyes returned to Mu Fan.
“Goodbye.”
Mu Fan looked straight ahead, his voice falling, he strode forward.
The crowd automatically parted to form a path. They watched the young man, whose aura was terrifying yet face remained calm, with complex expressions.
Lu Qingxue and Sinya, the two girls followed quietly behind him.
The three of them thus walked out of this bunker-like sanctuary in an unprecedented manner since the sanctuary’s establishment…
Outside, dust rolled, chaos and unrest continued.
Entering the armored off-road vehicle, Mu Fan turned to Sinya.
“We’ll send you back first.”
…
Beside the ship Mu Fan and Lu Qingxue arrived in, there was now another ship with a mottled hull covered in green vines, but much larger.
Sinya’s eyes, with a hint of wild beauty, looked complicatedly at this ship.
The purgatory-like days here will never be forgotten in her life.
Of course, she won’t forget the figure that pulled her back from the brink of despair.
Clad in armor, tall and imposing, he was as reassuring as her father, the king.
Lu Qingxue had already entered the Blood Teeth Ship.
At this moment, Sinya followed Mu Fan into his travel ship.
Mu Fan activated the ship from the control panel casually, Black had already plotted the route to Babon.
He turned to look at the lone figure standing behind, her features strikingly similar to Yuexi’s, but the long brown hair and healthy wheat complexion set Sinya apart.
Yuexi was ethereal as water with elegance and nobility, while Sinya carried a bit of youthful and natural wildness.
“This ship will safely take you back to Babon, I’m sure Yuexi will be delighted.”
Sinya hesitated to speak, but eventually just nodded obediently.
This girl, who was stubborn at heart and preferred to drift outside for nearly a year, was known within the Wood God Palace for her obstinate nature.
Yet she was so obedient in front of Mu Fan; if the maids saw this scene, they would be shocked.
“Where are you heading next?”
“To the Capital Star, the academy is waiting for me.”
“Be sure to come to Babon again, I’ll treat you to Snow Jade Wine.”
After thinking for a moment, Sinya’s pointed ears trembled slightly, “Not counting my sister’s share, it’s my personal treat to you!”
Even now, Mu Fan had no idea what significance Snow Jade Wine held within the Babon Royal Family. It’s a unique wine brewed by the royal family following the birth of each descendant of the Wood God, meant for the most trusted ones, irreplaceable… a rarity.
Once Yuexi blushed as she offered Snow Jade Wine to Mu Fan, and now Sinya was doing the same, though she concealed it well.
“Sure!”
Mu Fan was completely unaware of the girl’s thoughts and nodded with a smile.
As Sinya watched him leave with reluctant eyes and a wave, Mu Fan exited the ship, and the closing cabin door completely separated the two.
“The ship is about to take off. The destination for this journey: Babon Duchy. There will be turbulence during the ascent phase, please be seated promptly.”
Sinya still gazed at the closed cabin door for a long time, unwilling to turn away.
…
“Everything set?”
“Freshly brewed tea.”
In the lower hall of the ship’s bridge, when the white-clad figure by the long table turned around, having just brewed a cup of delicately fragrant Snow Lotus Tea, that flawless, stunning profile gazed quietly at him. Mu Fan felt as if he saw a gentle, kind woman waiting for him at home.
Mu Fan was momentarily dazed, scratched his head, “Uh-huh.”
Then took the cup of tea, and despite its heat, he poured it directly down his throat.
“Ah… a bit too hot.”
Mu Fan smacked his lips, luckily his body was exceptional.
Lu Qingxue looked surprised, then smiled gently.
“Now we’ll take this ship… to Capital Star?”
“Yes, as per the week’s agreement, we’ll take this Blood Teeth Ship there.”
“Such delightful events, how could we not share with everyone?”
Mu Fan took out the Sky Communication, fingers caressing the screen, his voice cold.
…
At the center of the entire Galaxy Federation, on the highly unified planet, in the giant gymnasium of the Galaxy Federation’s Dawn Academy, the atmosphere had reached a fever pitch.
Several academy competitions were underway in this massive venue, with cheers and screams echoing throughout.
Because numerous elite students were competing here, those star students rarely seen outside of these events were all gathered here in these days.
Over these four days, countless top-tier fighting duels have been showcased.
Moreover, for the cheer squads from academies outside of Capital Star, it was the first time witnessing a mecha team battle held within a super-sized stadium.
The students shouted loudly, each wave of sound rising higher than the last.
For some lower-tier academies, even if their own team was eliminated, they still excitedly watched the other matches.
For example, the areas where the formations of Dawn Academy and Bonar College were located were the most lively.
But compared to the other four great colleges, the atmosphere on Dingchuan Academy’s side was somewhat strange.
“Is this really from one of the Five Great Colleges? How can they struggle so much in the first round?”
“Lose one out of three matches, is this the level?”
