At the Immortal Inn, Lu Yan glanced cautiously at Hu Jiu, waiting for Hu Jiu's anger to erupt.
After An Ge left, he hurried back to the inn, told everyone the news, and prepared himself for Hu Jiu's wrath.
To his surprise, Hu Jiu's attitude remained unchanged after hearing what had happened, which only made him more anxious.
"I understand. Everyone should work normally while the store manager is away. Once the teleportation array is set up, there will be even more customers, so we should stock up on more goods."
Hu Jiu quickly made arrangements, dismissed everyone, and then lowered his head to work on the documents.
Seeing that Hu Jiu hadn't gotten angry, Lu Yan couldn't help but ask, "Old Hu, why are you so calm this time?"
He was worried the whole way, afraid that Hu Jiu would become depressed again like last time, making the atmosphere in the whole inn strange.
Hu Jiu glanced at Lu Yan with annoyance, "Since the store manager left voluntarily, she naturally has her own things to do. I respect her and trust her."
Lu Yan pursed his lips, speaking with conviction, only remaining calm because he knew the store manager would be alright.
Ever since An Ge suddenly disappeared last time, and Old Hu shared his inner core with An Ge, if An Ge is in danger, he will be the first to get hurt.
Ancient demons were forbidden from forming contracts with humans, but Hu Jiu was willing to share his inner core with An Ge, which was almost equivalent to forming a contract.
Lu Yan couldn't understand. Was love really that powerful? It actually made the usually arrogant Lao Hu willingly hand over his possession to the other person.
That's terrifying! He must never touch this stuff again.
Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly heard someone behind me say, "It's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles. I'll be waiting for you at the arena later."
Lu Yan's eyes widened. "Old Hu, you clearly said you weren't angry, so why did you hit me?"
Hu Jiu gave a friendly smile. "How can you call it beating you up? We were just having a friendly spar. Besides, you haven't had a chance to make a move since we went to the capital. You must have been feeling really frustrated. I'm just keeping you company, even at the risk of my life."
"Ha!" Lu Yan laughed in anger, "Sacrifice your life? Whose life? You two have gone too far."
Lu Yan felt wronged; how could he have two such unscrupulous friends?
Hu Jiu smiled, particularly pleased with the word "husband and wife," and decided to go easy on him.
Unbeknownst to An Ge, during the time she was away, Lu Yan was once again living a life of misery.
Having been in interstellar space for so long, she hadn't actually gone outside except for browsing the StarNet. So, she told Meng Xia that she wanted to go outside for some fresh air.
Meng Xia glanced at the world outside, a vast expanse of yellow sand, and pointed speechlessly, "Are you sure this is for breathing?"
In the past, An Ge wouldn't have been able to leave the protective shield easily. But now she's a level three array master, able to carry an isolation array with her to ensure she's not contaminated by radiation.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Meng Xia blindly trusted An Ge, "Okay then, remember to come back." She also wanted to go out with An Ge, but if they went out, she would definitely have to stay in the flying car, and if they encountered star beasts, she would only be a hindrance to An Ge.
"Of course, I will definitely tell you if I leave."
As An Ge left, Xiao Zhi suddenly appeared and said, "Master, it seems that Master An wants to go back."
"I know I was too greedy and selfish. She must have a lot to do. How could I keep her staying with me indefinitely?"
“Master, I feel like you are an abandoned woman right now.”
"Pah, pah, Xiaoge'er is not the kind of person who starts something and then abandons it."
Xiao Zhi: "..." Why did its owner automatically put himself into the role? Also, is this the point?
It's hopeless!
An Ge set up the teleportation array and drove the flying car through the swirling sandstorm.
Despite the array, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable. The spiritual energy here was cut off, and as far as the eye could see, there was nothing but yellow sand and no sign of life, which made her feel depressed.
The flying car has automatic flight and positioning functions, so Ange doesn't have to worry about driving or getting lost.
After driving for almost an hour, An Ge saw nothing but the occasional barren mountains.
"I thought I would see some new and interesting sights." An Ge was a little disappointed. No wonder Meng Tian stayed at home every day and had no desire to go out at all.
"Let's go back."
"Yes, my respected master's friend."
An Ge was preparing to return when she suddenly heard a roar, followed by what seemed like her car being hit by something.
"Warning! Warning! Encountering a Star Beast, strength unknown. Please return immediately." As the vehicle's alarm sounded, the autopilot system quickly activated acceleration mode.
An Ge then remembered that Meng Xia had told her that there were star beasts on this desolate planet.
Unlike the beastmen, the star beasts have no intelligence, only know how to kill, and are extremely powerful.
Besides fighting the Zerg, the Federation and Empire's greatest enemy is these powerful Star Beasts.
An Ge looked at the star beasts that blotted out the sky and felt a little sad.
In the interstellar age, all kinds of species began to mutate, and even plants could become deadly killers, not to mention star beasts.
According to interstellar scientists, radiation causes plants and animals to mutate and unleash their inner power, transforming them into powerful star beasts.
Therefore, compared to barren planets, those planets with lush vegetation are the real death stars.
Meng Xia had told her that this planet had been assessed and was not considered dangerous. Although there were star beasts, their numbers were small, and she had never seen one in all the time she had been on the planet.
I never expected to run into him just by going out.
"What kind of luck is this?" An Ge couldn't help but complain. She was definitely not a lucky person.
As the star beasts drew closer, An Ge rolled her eyes. Not only had she encountered star beasts, but she had also run into the Gugu Beast, known for its speed.
"Bang!" Just as he was thinking this, the Gugu Beast caught up with the flying car.
An Ge stumbled, barely managing to steady herself and avoid falling.
There were no attack devices on the flying car. She originally wanted to contact Xiaozhi to get the devices, but it was too late.
"Don't tell Xiaozhi." Since we can't ask for help, we shouldn't let Mengxia worry.
"clear!"
Despite her discomfort, An Ge channeled her spiritual power, gripped her longsword, opened the flying car door, and stepped onto the vehicle.
The Gugu Beast was agile and launched attacks continuously. However, Ange was no pushover either, using her standing technique to nimbly dodge the beast's rampages.
Enraged by its failed attack, the Gugu Beast intensified its assault.
"Damn it, if anyone tells me again that star beasts have no mind, I'll fight God!" An Ge dodged with difficulty.
In other places, she could attack the star beasts simply by using her spiritual power, but this was a place where spiritual energy was cut off, and even just dodging was making her somewhat overwhelmed.
Seeing that she was finding it increasingly difficult to circulate her spiritual energy, An Ge gritted her teeth. She knew that simply dodging wouldn't work, so she had to find a way to attack.
