Lu Yuanhong looked at the unconscious Lu Yulan. The red marks on her neck were delicate finger marks, not Lu Yulan's fingers. Lu Yulan's fingers were a little fleshy.

He gently wiped the sweat from her forehead.

The aura emanating from him was mottled and chaotic, carrying an unfathomable sense of disorder and unease.

It seemed to carry Lu Yulan's scent, but it wasn't. Lu Yuanhong frowned.

nightmare?

He made a mental note of this, took out the ointment, and carefully applied it to Lu Yulan's neck.

Her fair neck, without a single ounce of fat or wrinkles, was as graceful as a swan, but now it was marked with deep red marks and bruises.

Moreover, just a short while after he left, the door to this house was opened from the outside by him. According to the skeleton, no one came in. There's no reason for the pirates to harm Lu Yulan. What exactly happened?

The ointment was extremely effective; it was absorbed instantly upon application.

Lu Yuanhong moved a stool from the side, held Lu Yulan's hand, and stayed by her side.

The quiet time passed by, second by second.

Soon, night fell.

Lu Yulan woke up, feeling a little dizzy and her throat was hoarse.

I couldn't help but cough, but it brought pain.

"You're awake. Want some water?"

"General? What happened to me?"

A look of confusion flashed in Lu Yulan's eyes; she clearly had no recollection of what had happened during the day.

"It's nothing, just a cold. Drinking some sugar water will make me feel better."

"Um."

Lu Yulan sat up in bed, took the sugar water handed to her by Lu Yuanhong, and drank it in small sips, her eyelids drooping, concealing many thoughts.

After finishing his drink, he looked at Lu Yuanhong.

"Where did you just go? Where is the spaceship headed?"

Lu Yuanhong patted Lu Yulan's head and said, "Go out and see if anyone is chasing us. Don't worry about these things. If you get bored, play chess with Green."

"The spaceship is heading towards my secret base; we'll be there soon."

When the time comes, we'll give Lu Yulan a thorough physical examination, and she won't need to be chased and beaten by Bai Shan anymore.

Lu Yulan's eyes showed doubt, "A secret base?"

"kindness."

No one would have imagined that Lu Yuanhong would fly his spaceship into the Empire's territory, let alone that he would go to the criminal planet.

That gravitational speed is the highest on the list of planets in the Empire, a planet populated entirely by villains.

The skeleton stared at the pale gray sphere, its face unconsciously turning into a bitter gourd.

"I never thought I'd end up back in this place?"

Is this considered karma and reincarnation?

Did Lu Yuanhong really choose this place not to get revenge on him?

He was very skeptical.

The middle-aged man chuckled softly, "This place is very interesting; you can try it out."

He then stepped off the spaceship first.

The spaceship bypassed the defenses of Criminal Star and entered by using stealth technology. Moreover, Criminal Star had undergone overall modification, resulting in uneven gravity across the entire planet.

In these undeveloped, desolate areas, the gravity is only 0.3 coefficient points higher than that of the capital city.

The skeleton raised an eyebrow. Well, he's the younger brother now, what's there to say?

He looked behind him at the mutated human who had just recovered and the little radish head.

"Come out, this is where we'll be staying for a while."

Lu Yuanhong held Lu Yulan at the back, his eyes scanning everyone, but he didn't notice anything unusual.

Did he trust them too much?

"What's wrong?"

With her brows furrowed so deeply, Lu Yulan looked rather listless. She poked Lu Yuanhong's face and yawned lazily.

"It's nothing, just take a nap if you're tired."
