Chapter 97 Future Interstellar Dragon Aotian
It took Mu Lingnan a long time to finally digest the series of interstellar events that happened in less than a day.
This series of events made her wonder if she had woken up in the wrong world.
She thought about it and decided to try to call Cecil via video. After just a few seconds, the call was connected and a familiar figure appeared in front of her.
Cecil softened his expression and asked, "Did you have a good rest, dear?"
Mu Lingnan replied gloomily, "Very well." This was true. She woke up feeling refreshed and felt that her body and mind had not been so relaxed in a long time.
Could it be the effect of that bottle of holy water?
She listened to the faint sounds of the wind and voices coming from the other side, and listened to Cecil's long chatter. Finally, she caught a gap in Cecil's speech and asked, "Cecil, where are you now?"
Cecil paused for a second, and then the subtle noises from the other side disappeared. He smiled impeccably and replied, "Acacia, I'm on the starship."
Liar.
Mu Lingnan didn't believe it: "Really, Cecil? But I heard the sound of the wind." It was impossible for there to be such a clear sound of wind on the enclosed starship.
Cecil remained calm and composed: "Just now, the starship was testing the new reality simulation program."
Mu Lingnan stopped talking. Cecil was trying to coax her. He knew very well that she would not believe him, but he would rather make up a lie to fool her than tell her the truth.
She lowered her eyes and turned in a different direction. Her expression showed a rare hint of vulnerability as she softly said, "Cecil, when will you come back? I miss you."
Cecil was startled, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, but he still hardened his heart. He had to get the key of the elves, and for this, he would not hesitate even to flatten the elves' star field.
So, he softened his voice and comforted his sister: "Akassia, I will be back soon, very soon. Stay home and wait for your brother to come back. I will bring you your favorite gift."
Mu Lingnan was not very happy.
Even this method doesn't work. Cecil is determined to go to war with the elves, but why?
Mu Lingnan clenched his hands tightly behind his back. It was obvious that going to war with the elves at this time was a thankless task. Even if the Celestial Clan could win, the sacrifice would be too great compared to the losses incurred during this period.
She couldn't find any reason why the Celestials were so stubborn, and the reaction of the Elves was also intriguing. There must be some reason that she didn't know about.
Since Cecil couldn't possibly come back, Mu Lingnan tried another plan with a lower chance of success. She blinked, staring at Cecil with misty eyes like she did when she was a child, and said aggrievedly:
"Cecil, I want to go back to McKayla. My black cat is still there."
Hearing the keyword "black cat", Cecil's mind instantly flashed with the ugly cat that was pretentious, annoying and always pestering his sister. Veins popped up on his hands and he couldn't suppress the urge to kill a cat.
There was no way he was going to let Acacia bring that damn cat back!
Cecil's smile concealed murderous intent: "Akassia, it's okay. I'll help you raise the black cat for a while and bring it back to you when I come back."
He wanted to let the black cat know the consequences of provoking him.
Mu Lingnan stammered, "No, no need, brother. I've already asked a friend to help me raise the baby. No need to trouble you."
Although it hasn't happened yet, she still wants to avoid harming the innocent little kitten. She really can't understand why Cecil and the black cat dislike each other so much.
Not to mention Cecil's reaction, even the black cat would grit its teeth and snap its claws, arch its back and pant fiercely when it saw anything related to Cecil. This forced her to put away all the things related to Cecil, and only then did the difficult little ancestor calm down.
Headache.
Mu Lingnan was really troubled.
Cecil finally advised: "Akassia, stay home, I have arranged everything, be good, okay?"
Mu Lingnan agreed obediently. When the video ended, her long eyelashes fluttered and her eyes were full of a sly smile: She has legs, so of course she has to run, and she won't sit and wait for death.
However, the next afternoon, Mu Lingnan sat on the bed, feeling hopeless and sent a message to the reliable Xie Xiangchen to thank him for taking care of Mimi. Then, she closed her eyes in sorrow.
This time, Cecil is really serious.
After she came back, the defense strength of the villa increased several times. Coupled with the omnipresent Gaia, the defense was impenetrable. She was like a bird in a cage, unable to escape at all.
Even when she went out, there would be no less than ten people following her, staring at her every move. She really felt uncomfortable all over.
The previous successful case of running away from home was impossible to replicate. Cecil, this ruthless man, patched up all possible loopholes and even sent a ninth-level great magician to watch her, under the pretext of protecting her safety.
Should she be thankful that Cecil wasn't so cruel as to have a Saint guard her?
Mu Lingnan couldn't laugh anymore. She felt that Cecil had gone too far.
"Why is it you?"
Mu Lingnan walked in front and asked weakly. The Star Network was in a mess, and the friends who played with him in "Star Ocean" were not online. Mu Lingnan could only go out for a walk. No matter what, the air outside was much fresher than in the villa. It would be even better if there was no group of people following behind.
Draven gritted his teeth and said: "Why can't it be me? With my strength, I can still join the guard team, okay?"
"No, I mean," Mu Lingnan glanced at him faintly, "Why did you stay in the Imperial Star instead of going to the front line?"
Given Draven's temper, she didn't believe his target wasn't the Royal Guards.
Draven paused, his face sullen, but he still answered honestly, "His Highness was worried that it would be boring for you to stay alone in the Royal City, so he transferred me back to the Imperial Star."
Mu Lingnan:
There were so many complaints that she didn't know where to start. She couldn't believe it: "No, why does Cecil think we have a good relationship? And you just accepted it. Don't you think Cecil is too much?"
Draven's face darkened, he took off his sunglasses, and looked at her seriously: "Even if you are His Highness's sister, you cannot address His Highness by his name."
Mu Lingnan: ...
She was so shocked that she forgot for a moment the blind worship of Cecil by the Celestials. She seriously suspected that if Cecil said one day that he created the whole world, the Celestials would believe it without hesitation.
Experience taught Mu Lingnan that she must not get entangled with the people of the Celestial Clan on this matter. So, she apologized directly, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so disrespectful to my elder brother."
Draven was satisfied, and he finally answered Mu Lingnan's question: "Is it possible that His Highness knew our relationship wasn't good, and that's why he let me come back? Besides, this is His Highness's order, and He can't be wrong. His sights are on the direction of the Celestial Tribe's advance."
Therefore, as long as it is His Highness's order, no matter what it is, Draven will complete it meticulously.
Seeing this, Mu Lingnan had to regretfully give up the idea of getting along well with Draven to get him to let go. These stubborn people of the Celestial Clan would not do anything to disobey Cecil's orders even if a knife was put to their necks.
She stared at Draven's face, took a look, and couldn't help but look at him again, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with your eyes?"
What big dark circles!
Draven then realized that he had just taken off his sunglasses, and quickly put them on to cover up the dark circles under his eyes that seriously damaged his appearance, revealing half of his handsome lower face.
He gritted his teeth, his voice becoming even darker: "Don't tell me you've forgotten everything you did a few days ago."
Mu Lingnan's eyes widened. This was impossible. She probably didn't hit him that hard.
She fell into deep thought. Facing Draven's gaze, which was still so hot that it seemed to burn a hole in her even through the sunglasses, Mu Lingnan smiled awkwardly and kept silent.
It's hard for Draven. He has to obey Cecil's orders and guard her when they are having such a conflict. Mu Lingnan even feels a little sympathetic towards him.
She'd better not poke Draven in the sore spot, her conscience was pangs.
Mu Lingnan didn't say anything, and Draven was even less likely to bring up the topic, so the atmosphere on the road became quiet again.
Mu Lingnan wandered around aimlessly, wasting time. She wanted to go back as late as possible. After all, she might still have a chance if she was outside, but it would be impossible for her to stay in the villa.
Her eyes casually fell on a cartoon-decorated house on the side of the street, which seemed to be a kindergarten.
In the interstellar age, busy working parents often send their children of a few years old to kindergartens for care and primary education. At this time, the children's mental strength is unstable and they cannot meet the minimum requirements to enter "Star Ocean". They are also prone to elemental riots and cannot do without the care of adults.
The man at the door who looked like a teacher had a gentle smile on his face. He looked at the child next to him with tenderness in his eyes. He gently pressed his fingers on the child's shoulders and handed the child to the arms of the parents who came in to pick him up, and explained something in a soft voice.
Mu Lingnan stopped and stared at the man for a long time without realizing it. For some reason, she always felt that he looked very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
Where is it?
Mu Lingnan frowned and thought hard.
After saying goodbye to the parents, the man looked up to meet Mu Lingnan's eyes, smiled slightly, and walked towards this side.
Mu Lingnan thought: What does he want to do? But if he comes over like this, he will definitely be stopped. This face looks so familiar.
But to Mu Lingnan's surprise, the man actually walked right up to her without any obstruction. He looked at her for a long time before he sighed and said with a smile, "Ah, I didn't expect that little pudding has grown so big."
Mu Lingnan raised her head and looked at him in confusion: Who are you? Who is Little Pudding? You must have recognized the wrong person.
She was about to ask when she saw Draven beside her, clenching his right fist against his left chest, bowing his head and saying, "Respected Lord Anderson, good day."
Anderson, isn't this her father's name?
Mu Lingnan opened her eyes wide, her pupils trembling violently. She stared at her father, who was dressed in casual clothes and had a gentle face and whom she had not seen for many years. Her lips trembled and she could not utter a word.
This is impossible. In her impression, her father is clearly a serious and stern man. How could he become a gentle kindergarten teacher? Has he really been possessed by someone?
Mu Lingnan was the first one who didn't believe it.
【Author’s words】
Mu Lingnan: This is impossible, this must be a fake father, she doesn’t believe it!!!
Thank you very much for your support. I will continue to work hard!
