117 A short break

◎Yu Li: Let me explain! ◎

Yu Li stared at the Void Gate in front of her for a long time. She turned to look at Yun Xiuzhu, who was smiling gently, and then turned back to look at the Void Gate. Finally, Yun Xiuzhu smiled and leaned over, smoothing down the girl's messy hair while explaining to her:

"I remember Xuanye told Ah Li before that he could travel back and forth between the Yuyunchen Federation and the Black Jade Empire thanks to this magical item. As long as he sets the coordinates, he can open the Void Gate at any time and travel back and forth."

After hearing his explanation, Yu Li looked up at the silver-haired man with picturesque features and said, "So it was Xuanye who gave this rare item to you?" Would Xuanye actually give it to her?

As if understanding the hidden meaning in her words, Yun Xiuzhu chuckled and shook his head: "Have you forgotten my identity, Ah Li? I can also make such a rare item, but it does require a lot of materials."

When Yu Li heard his words, she was stunned for a moment before she realized that the identity Yun Xiuzhu was talking about was his identity as a top-grade blacksmith. This guy is really a weirdo with a pseudonym!

Yun Xiuzhu led Yu Li across the void gate and retrieved the starship. As if he had ears, he spoke while Yu Li was silently complaining, "Are you saying I have too many fake identities?"

Isn’t this true?

"No! Absolutely not!" Although she thought so in her heart, Yu Li still gave a firm negative answer on the surface.

Yun Xiuzhu looked down at the girl who had a serious expression but whose eyes were unconsciously wandering and found it a little funny, but he didn't intend to keep talking about this topic.

As the two of them walked through the small garden full of flowers and arrived at the small villa, Yu Li looked at the warmly decorated house and relaxed completely. She pounced into the soft sofa. Yun Xiuzhu didn't have time to stop her. Mo Yan, on the other hand, was already accustomed to the girl's appearance. He directly became the size of a pillow, and the fine black mist dispersed to help the girl relieve the impact of the pounce. Finally, he snuggled in the girl's arms, and his soft tentacles wrapped around her slender waist.

Yu Li hugged Mo Yan as usual, and even rubbed him, just like petting a cat, very skillfully.

Looking at the intimate relationship between the original body and Ah Li, Yun Xiuzhu said:...Hehe, no matter how close they are, they are still not pets.

Mo Yan: Haha, the incarnation of someone who can’t eat grapes and says they’re sour.

Yu Li seemed to be a little embarrassed after noticing the man's gaze, and added softly, "Well...it's just that I haven't been home for too long, so I acted a little exaggerated."

The girl also stretched out her hand, put her thumb and index finger together, and kept a little distance between them, and gestured to Yun Xiuzhu.

"Yeah, I know. After all, Ah Li had just returned and was doing an internship, and the Star Competition had already been over for half a year." Yun Xiuzhu continued her words. His eyes fell on the girl, who was completely slumped in the soft beige sofa. She looked like a beautiful kitten lying in her nest, watching you. She was a little too cute, making him want to hold her in his arms and kiss her. But unfortunately...

"Hmm?" Yu Li tilted her head, noticing the inexplicable longing in Yun Xiuzhu's eyes. After a moment's thought, she asked tentatively, "Yun Xiuzhu, come sit over here too?"

"Okay." Yun Xiuzhu chuckled and walked forward to sit next to Yu Li. Only then did Yu Li realize that Dan's presence was very strong. The light-colored suit of excellent material outlined the man's tall and oppressive figure. The white gloves and the joints of the sleeves revealed a clearly defined wrist bone, which looked very eye-catching.

Yu Li's eyes fell on his strong wrist bones. Yun Xiuzhu felt helpless as he looked at the girl who was distracted again. However, after being together for so long, he was very familiar with the girl's various behaviors. He knew that the girl would be distracted when she was nervous. He didn't mind, or rather, it was better this way. His slender hands in white gloves hooked a strand of hair by her neck, lowered his head and approached the girl and said:

"Ali, did you take off my vest during the game? Coach Guan and your teammates looked at me very strangely before. Ali, have you figured out how to explain it?"

The man's low and gentle voice was like velvet, making people unconsciously immersed in it.

But Yu Li heard the meaning clearly:!!!

Yu Li said weakly, "They probably didn't say anything to you."

Yun Xiuzhu smiled, looking at everyone's bright smile, and said, "No, no one said anything weird to me."

Really? I don't believe it!

Yu Li blinked and said softly, "The situation was a bit urgent at that time, so..."

And if he wants to come down, it should be Xu Qinghuai who has taken off Yun Xiuzhu's vest!

After realizing this, the girl immediately became confident and recounted their situation at that time, emphasizing that Xu Qinghuai had known about Yun Xiuzhu's pseudonym for a long time! So it couldn't be said that she had taken off Yun Xiuzhu's pseudonym.

"Is that so..." This was the first time Yun Xiuzhu heard Yu Li talk about the encounter with the Zerg during the competition. After all, everyone was very busy before. They finally left the natural planet and arrived at the Xingyu Tree Territory, but the Xingyu Tree Territory was in a mess. Later, they had meetings with various forces and groups. It was only now that Yun Xiuzhu had time to slowly ask Yu Li about the various situations she encountered during the competition.

He looked at the girl with tender eyes and asked, "Will Ah Li be scared at that time?"

"Well...it's actually okay. Mo Yan was always by my side at that time." Yu Li thought about the previous competition when she held Mo Yan up and said, "I felt at ease!"

Yun Xiuzhu was caught off guard and faced Mo Yan's eyes that were as dark as the abyss. It was obvious that Mo Yan was very disgusted with his three clones. He directly reached out to the clone in front of him who was smiling very fakely!

".......!" Yun Xiuzhu quickly reached out and grabbed the tentacle that was about to hit his face, and he couldn't hold back the expression on his face.

"Huh? Yun Xiuzhu, why are you holding Mo Yan's tentacle?" Yu Li saw this scene when she sent Mo Yan back, and was a little confused. Obviously, Mo Yan's superficial efforts had made Yu Li forget that Mo Yan had pulled Yun Xiuzhu's tentacle at the beginning.

"It's nothing. Ah Li, don't pick him up suddenly next time." Yun Xiuzhu pinched his brows and said, after all, they were in a good mood, but once the real body came out, everything would be gone!

"Okay." Although she didn't know why, Yu Li had always known that the relationship between Mo Yan, Yun Xiuzhu and the other two was very delicate, so she nodded in agreement. Thinking about the previous topic, she looked at Yun Xiuzhu and said, "Now that your vest has been taken off, do you have to go to the main planet?"

"That's not necessary. The Yun family will claim that this identity of mine is a cover-up for my breakthrough to the SSS level. And now that I have made the breakthrough, I basically won't have to worry about those things." Yun Xiuzhu shook his head and said, after all, the status of an SSS-level psychic is extremely transcendent in the interstellar space. In addition, all countries may face the Zerg in the future, so naturally they will not cause trouble for Yun Xiuzhu.

"That's good." Yu Li heaved a sigh of relief after hearing his words. However, when she thought about the Zerg she had encountered, the way he looked at her was like looking at delicious food, which was disgusting. Yu Li frowned and asked:

"Those Zerg will come later..."

Yun Xiuzhu stroked the girl's soft hair in a soothing manner and said, "Of course they will. After all, our star field is a newly discovered and extremely delicious piece of cake for these Zerg. Of course, they won't give it up."

"Then Yun Xiuzhu, don't you need to go back to the Sun Empire?" Yu Li asked, thinking of his other alias. Yun Xiuzhu pretended to be disappointed when he heard her words and said, "Are you trying to get me to leave, Ah Li?"

"No, I'm just a little curious. After all, Fei Yuxin and Xuanye followed the team and looked very busy." Yu Li explained quickly.

Well, although the two of them would send her a lot of messages and various pictures on the messenger every day, they were probably very busy... Yu Li felt a little uncertain when she thought of this.

"I will indeed return to the Sun Empire later, but has Ah Li forgotten that card? It's very convenient to travel back and forth between the two places. I won't leave." Yun Xiuzhu looked at the girl with gentle eyes.

"Yeah." Yu Li met his gaze, then shyly looked away and responded in a low voice.

.......

In the following month, the popularity of this explosive news about the Zerg on the Star Network gradually decreased as time passed. After all, to people who were not familiar with the habits of the Zerg, this departure seemed like they would not be back in the short term. However, the top leaders of various forces did not think so. They began to prepare for war, constantly preparing various potions and strange items, etc., to prepare for the upcoming war.

Yu Li also returned to her daily campus life this month, and by the way, got familiar with the rewards given by the system - the two sets of dazzling suits!

Of course, Yu Li and the others also told Coach Guan that if there was anything they needed, they would not postpone it, but judging from what Coach Guan said, it seemed that the time had not come yet.

On the other side, countless light years away from the Academy Star, on a planet as bright as the sun, the White Ghost Cicada, the Phantom Cicada and the Golden Spider were all half-kneeling with respect in an extremely luxurious golden palace. The White Ghost Cicada began to report on their mission this time, as well as the various situations they had found out.

Queen Freya, leaning lazily on her gilded throne, listened to their reports and smiled tenderly, "Everyone has gained a lot. You've done a great job."

Following her affirmation, the expressions on the three people's faces became very excited. Finally, the Golden Spider took out the heart of the Star Tree from the storage bracelet. As the heart, which was sealed into the size of a fist, was taken out, a burst of vital energy spread out.

Freya stood up curiously, pushed aside the layers of veil in front of her eyes, and walked over to them. She looked at the emerald-green heart of the tree and said, "Is this the heart of the Starry Universe Tree? It's very rich in energy. If it were used as nutrients..."

When the Golden Spider heard the Queen's words, it raised its head and said softly, "This is a gift for you, Her Majesty."

Freya was stunned and noticed that the golden spider couldn't help but look behind her. It was obvious that the tree heart was used to repair her wings.

Freya smiled softly, and her dreamy, perfect face became even more beautiful and charming.

Huanguang Cricket lowered his head as he made his final conclusion: "The resources in that star region are very rich. Please allow us to continue our attack, Your Majesty. We will bring you victory!"
