She looked at Ye Lingfeng with a sense of grievance and accusation.

"I...no...Ye Xiaoxi, you've misunderstood."

Ye Lingfeng suddenly felt guilty and regretful, realizing that he had gone too far.

Although his original intention was to grab the control stick and he never intended to hit Xiaoxi, there was still a red finger mark on Xiaoxi's face.

He suddenly felt guilty for his impulsiveness and regretted not controlling his emotions.

Ye Lingfeng wanted to apologize to Xiaoxi, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

"Then I'll kick you too, and then say you misunderstood," Xiaoxi shouted angrily.

Feeling guilty, Ye Lingfeng stretched his leg out in front of Xiaoxi, "Then kick me!"

"Hmph!" Xiaoxi suddenly changed her mind.

"I can't be bothered to kick you. You just mocked me for only controlling the mech once and asking why I didn't fly away? Well then, I'll fly away and show you."

Ye Lingfeng didn't dare to touch the control lever this time. He just stood there like a fool, watching Xiao Xi do her thing.

Xiaoxi has a very strong learning ability. The last time she operated the mecha alone, she memorized all the mecha's performance and other details.

She was completely focused at the moment, her hands moving between pressing switches and clicking buttons, her small hands appearing only as afterimages. Her gaze was focused and determined, as if she had become one with the mecha.

The mech's engine roared loudly, and the powerful thrust gradually lifted the mech off the ground.

The sounds of mechanical parts turning mingled together, like a stirring battle melody.

The silver mecha soared into the sky.

Next, Xiaoxi carefully controlled the mecha's flight attitude, fine-tuning the engine's thrust and direction. She felt every sway and adjustment of the mecha in the air, as if she were performing a tacit dance with the mecha.

Under Xiaoxi's precise control, the mecha flew steadily in the sky.

Ye Lingfeng looked down at the land below in surprise and doubt. He could even see the crater. It turned out that the alien base was on the back of the volcano, among the mountains. No wonder Chen Jianan had not discovered this auspicious place.

Ye Lingfeng had never flown in the air like this before, and he didn't think about enjoying the freedom and power of flying. He gripped the mecha tightly with his toes, afraid that it would suddenly explode or fall down due to Xiao Xi's improper operation.

At this moment, Xiaoxi had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery in the sky. She was constantly aware of the surrounding airspace to avoid colliding with birds flying high in the sky.

In the air, Xiaoxi demonstrated exceptional control skills.

She skillfully maneuvered the mecha, performing various maneuvers—spinning, diving, and ascending—as if putting on a magnificent aerial performance, completely forgetting that Ye Lingfeng, who was sitting next to her and making her unhappy, was sitting beside her.

If it weren't for the worry that their whereabouts would be discovered by the remaining Chen Jianan forces, Xiao Xi could have flown over a larger area and to a higher altitude.

However, she was already content.

Ye Lingfeng snapped out of his daze, afraid that he would be distracted for even a moment. Ye Xiaoxi was too amazing. This was an ability that an eight or nine-year-old girl could achieve.

But then he remembered that she had saved him, so of course she was capable, but he hadn't witnessed it firsthand. This time, however, he had truly seen it for himself.

While he was still in shock, Xiaoxi had already skillfully landed the mecha smoothly in the center of the training field.

When Ye Lingfeng stepped out of the mecha cockpit, his legs were weak and he was still in a daze.

"Wow, Xiaoxi, your group is amazing! You did everything that Teacher Xiaonai hasn't even taught you yet!"

"I always said Xiaoxi is the most capable among us."

Everyone applauded and praised them. They had just come down from the mech cabin and had only learned how to start walking, running, and jumping in the mech.

Xiao Nai also came up to praise Xiao Xi and Ye Lingfeng's group.

Ye Aotian's expression suddenly changed because his focus shifted; he saw the finger marks on Xiaoxi's face.
