After confirming that Lu Mingming was alright, Cheng Shiqin returned to his original position to fulfill his role as a guardian.
After Xingyuan bestowed that unknown gift, all the fluorescent fragments floated and shimmered around Lu Mingming, and the tiny particles returned to the interior of the light source, turning this starry space back into a pitch-black void.
After absorbing the star source, the light visibly grew stronger and brighter.

Like a child learning, he slowly limped towards Lu Mingming.
During the journey, Xingyuan gradually grew to the size of a sesame seed until it disappeared between Lu Mingming's eyebrows.
She still had a gluttonous streak in her head; how could she dare to go straight in!
Lu Mingming quickly looked inward into his spiritual sea—the Star Source was exploring around in the fresh illusion, preparing to find a suitable place to make its nest.
That domineering silver sphere, which had been quietly obeying orders and playing dead, hanging in the sky as the "sun," suddenly became unruly when others came to take its house.
Xingyuan finally found a comfortable spot, but before he could even sit down properly, a large, silvery-white ball of fluff came flying straight down from the sky, swallowed him whole, and even let out a playful burp.
In an instant, Lu Mingming could feel the energy belonging to the Star Source rapidly descending within the space.
With his back to Cheng Shiqin, Lu Mingming's expression changed drastically.
My mind went blank, screaming, "Baby, are you trying to kill me?!"
At this moment, even Cheng Shiqin felt the energy tide around him weaken considerably. He reminded her, "Mingming, are you alright? It's so dark where you are, can you even see the road? Do you want me to come pick you up?"
"Alright, alright, I'll be right back!"
Lu Mingming, fearing he'd be caught out of something amiss, quickly answered, his mind racing:
"My little ancestor, quickly return the Star Source to me! This concerns the fate of an entire planet! How can I possibly compensate you?!"
However, the small ball of light remained unmoved.
Despite being reprimanded by its "mother," the little ball of light ignored her and listlessly patrolled its territory to look for any "unwanted people." After confirming that there were no troublemakers, it dejectedly returned to its original position.
The sphere, which had just been shining with a silvery-white light, gradually turned grayish-white and transformed into a simple, unadorned hard bead.
It's so cheap that even if you sell it on the StarNet for two Star Coins, nobody wants it.
"No way, you're the one who got caught up in this mess."
The deer cried out softly.
She composed herself, found her way back to the passageway, and feigned pitifulness in the dim light:

"We did it! Let's get out of here quickly, I'm a little afraid of the dark..."
Fortunately, Cheng Shiqin was honest with acquaintances.
Without a shred of doubt, he escorted Lu Mingming quickly out of the tunnel.
After reporting to Mrs. Salche, Lu Mingming guiltily pulled Cheng Shiqin to search for Class A, which he had taught.
The little ones were much better behaved than before, sitting upright and listening attentively to the teacher's lecture.
Lu Mingming peeked out. A completely unfamiliar teacher stood on the platform, poking Cheng Shiqin beside him with his finger.
"Do you know which class Mr. Morian usually teaches at school? I saw him during the competition."
Cheng Shiqin's mind went blank: "As far as I know, there is no teacher named Morian in the school."
"ah?"
Lu Mingming was startled.

Cheng Shiqin immediately realized that Lu Mingming had misunderstood, and added:
“There is no certified faculty member with that name, but… if it’s that person from the research institute, they can become an honorary professor without a certificate.”
He found something amiss and racked his brains to find the answer:
"But as far as I know, Morian is usually in the lab, and he would give advance notice if he needed to substitute for someone."
That should be right.
This is another strange thing happening. It couldn't possibly have been done specifically for her, could it?
Lu Mingming lowered her eyes, her mind wandering.
After seeing the children in Class A, she felt relieved, said goodbye to Cheng Shiqin, and left on the fiber optic cable.
Cheng Shiqin's words, along with what the little light sphere in his mental sea did, did not make Lu Mingming return to the hotel.
She chose to take the fiber optic cable to the beach to enjoy the sea breeze.

The wind blew across the sea, raising wave after wave that crashed against the shore, creating sprays several meters high.
Several seagull-like humanoids were sitting on seats in the fountain square, munching on bread, which reminded Lu Mingming of the seagulls being fed in TV dramas.
She smiled and gazed at the sea.
A deafening sound came from afar. Lu Mingming looked in the direction of the sound and saw a giant ship sailing back from afar. The heavy clouds pressed down, and the ship seemed to want to reach the shore as well.
Before they even reached the shore, a group of burly men leaped off the giant ship. Each of them was strong and muscular, with fierce glints in their eyes, and some of them had unusual scars on their exposed skin.
They walked at the front, their imposing presence deterring a group of homeless people who wanted to take advantage of the chaos.
"Get out of my way, all of you! Master Singh is here on business in Xingfu Star today, don't block his way!"
The burly man in the vest leading the group roared.
His scars were clearly visible, especially the huge centipede scar, which drew the attention of everyone around him.
After waiting for a while, Lu Mingming finally saw a tall, silent beastman disembark from the giant ship.
