Jiang Wan and his group stayed in Flower Star for eleven days and had a great time. During the Hundred Flowers Festival, they saw the most beautiful flowers in the entire galaxy.
The two females were very satisfied and spent a lot of money to buy all the flowers they liked and send them back to the Imperial Star.
On the third day after the Flower Star Hundred Flower Festival, the four of them boarded the starship and continued their journey.
"Our next destination is Crystal Star."
Crystal Star, the largest crystal planet in the Mingxi Empire, has countless beautiful crystals and various things made of them. It is also one of the tourist attractions in the Mingxi Empire.
However, Crystal Star is a bit far from Flower Star. If you fly by an ordinary starship, it will probably take two days and two nights to get there.
So this time they chose a starship that can perform interstellar space jumps.
Starting from Flower Star, and passing through two space jump points along the way, it will take about three hours to reach Crystal Star.
"During a space jump, the starship will vibrate slightly. You must fasten your seat belts to prevent any accidents."
Yin Yi and Bai Li gave their respective females serious instructions.
"Uh-huh."
The two bumpkins who had never ridden a star-hopping ship were now filled with excitement about experiencing something new.
Yin Yi and Bai Li could only look at each other helplessly, then each sat next to their females, holding their hands tightly and fixing them manually.
......
The starship had just completed its first space jump, and the originally excited Jiang Wan and Yu Rou were now slumped in their seats with pale faces.
No one expected that the two of them would get dizzy from space jumping!
When the starship just entered the space jump point, the two of them were looking at the scenery outside the window with excitement on their faces.
After entering the jump, the two men's expressions gradually became abnormal. When the starship came out of the first space jump point, the two men had already vomited profusely and their faces were as pale as paper.
Seeing Jiang Wan, who was always cheerful and lively, looking so weak at this moment, Yin Yi felt both distressed and guilty.
He had clearly given Jiang Wan anti-sickness medicine before the interstellar jump, but he didn't expect the medicine to be completely ineffective.
Seeing Jiang Wan in such pain, Yin Yi prepared to go directly to the cockpit to identify himself and order the starship to stop the second jump and change to flight mode to fly to Crystal Star.
But Jiang Wan stopped her, saying that she could bear it, and that she didn't want to be treated specially when she went out to play, and she didn't want to waste the time of other people on the starship because of herself.
After all, the ticket price for a star-hopping starship is several times higher than that of an ordinary starship. Those who want to take a star-hopping starship are definitely people who are in a hurry. How can they let others accompany them and spend two more days on the road just because they are dizzy from space jumps?
"But Wanwan, your condition is very bad now."
Yin Yi looked at Jiang Wan worriedly, but still wanted to persevere.
Jiang Wan smiled weakly: "I'm fine, I'll just drink some water and rest for a while."
Yin Yi still wanted to struggle, but after being with Jiang Wan for so long, he understood Jiang Wan's character. Once he made a decision, he would not change it easily.
With a change of mind, Yin Yi decided to drag his cousin and his wife into the water.
"But Wanwan, it's not just you. Your cousin's wife is also in a very bad condition. Even if I don't go, my cousin will go and stop the starship from jumping a second time because he feels sorry for her."
Bai Li nodded in agreement. Indeed, he was terrified when he saw Yu Rou vomiting just now. If Yu Rou hadn't stopped him and said that she was just a little dizzy and everything else was fine, he would have rushed to the cockpit to order the starship to stop space jumping and switch to flight mode.
Unexpectedly, Yu Rou agreed with Jiang Wan's point of view: "I'm fine too, just a little dizzy, I'll be fine after a rest. Since we are traveling in disguise this time, we should not reveal our identities because of such a small matter.
Besides, we had to work hard to convince the Women's Protection Association to let us travel freely this time, and the military personnel who were protecting us didn't have to follow us closely. I don't want the Women's Protection Association to use a little seasickness as an excuse to stop us from continuing our trip."
“Ding-ling-ling——”
Suddenly, the warning bells on the starship rang frantically, interrupting the four people's argument.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Jiang Wan rubbed his temples and frowned.
She was already feeling unwell due to the dizziness from the interstellar jump, and now the piercing ringtone gave her an even worse headache.
Seeing her like this, Yin Yi immediately stood up and walked towards the door in displeasure, intending to go outside to see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was opened, an orc dressed in starship security uniform fell in.
"ah!"
When Yu Rou saw the person lying on the ground covered in blood, she screamed in fright.
Bai Li immediately pressed her head against his chest, blocked her gaze with his body, and whispered soothing words in her ear.
"It's okay, it's okay. Don't be afraid, Xiaorou. I'm here. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid."
Yin Yi looked at Jiang Wan the moment the person fell in, worried that she was frightened, but he was stunned for a moment when he saw Jiang Wan looking at the bloody man on the ground with a serious expression.
Then he remembered the first time he met Jiang Wan, and he felt relieved and squatted down to check on the security orc.
“Help…Help…”
There was a big hole in the orc's chest, and blood was gushing out. It was obvious that he was dying.
"What happened out there?"
"There are... there are... star pirates..."
Before he could finish his words, the man's head tilted and he died.
Star pirate?
Yin Yi frowned. When he was making the strategy, he had clearly chosen the safest routes. How could there be space pirates?
Bai Li had also comforted Yu Rou and walked over at this time. The orc's keen hearing allowed him to hear what the orc had just said.
"Platanists? This is the central region of the empire, how could there be pirates?"
Star pirate.
As the name suggests, interstellar bandits.
They are usually active in the chaotic border areas of various empires, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of atrocities.
It is the second most disgusting existence in the interstellar world after the Zerg.
Some empires had thought about sending troops to annihilate them, but the border situation was chaotic and there were many abandoned interstellar jump points. Every time the pirates looted something, they would run in, making it impossible for the imperial army to find them.
Abandoned interstellar jump points are not regularly maintained, so they are very unstable. The location of each jump is different, but they never leave the border area and are randomly teleported between various empires.
The place where they are now is the central part of the Mingxi Empire, far away from the border. No matter how many times these pirates jump, it is impossible for them to jump from the border to here.
Yin Yi frowned, feeling that something was amiss this time.
"Regardless of why these pirates are here, the most urgent thing is to protect Wanwan and my cousin's wife. If the pirates knew there were females on this starship, the consequences would be disastrous."
