Chapter 168 Go to the universe to find the stars and wait for you at night
Tong Wanwan originally thought that Elvis's "secret base" was just somewhere on the Federation Planet.
Unexpectedly, what he took her to see was a small planet that no one had visited.
This planet is beautiful and peaceful.
The nightscape is like silk, with countless glittering flocks of flying creatures drifting slowly through the air. Their translucent forms resemble birds or fish, their thin wings permeating the starlight, while their splayed tails sway up and down in the air, weaving back and forth like shuttles, creating a scene of undulating waves, grandeur, and beauty.
It seemed like an epic fantasy scene that could only be seen in holographic games.
Each of them is emitting star-like light, some are on the wings, some are on the tail fins, and some have beautiful patterns on their bodies that reflect the fragmented moonlight.
Is this... Mr. Marshal's secret base?
As she looked, Tong Wanwan's eyes seemed to be shining.
"What a nice view……"
After a whole day, her vocabulary was so limited that she could only say simple words such as "delicious", "good-looking", "pretty", and "beautiful".
"Yeah." Elvis responded cooperatively.
only……
He did not even glance at the flock of flying creatures floating in the night sky.
From beginning to end, his gaze remained on his side.
"It's really beautiful. How did Mr. Marshal find this place?" Tong Wanwan murmured softly.
She still tilted her head back, immersed in the quiet and picturesque visual enjoyment.
"I happened to pass by here on my way to a mission," Elvis said without elaborating. "After returning, I applied to the federal government for ownership of this planet."
Tong Wanwan's eyes widened, frightened by his words.
Although the governments of the more than one hundred planets that agreed to form a federation had signed a stipulation that private individuals could long-term own uninhabited outer space bodies, the Federation's "Space Treaty" was extremely strict, and the financial resources required to purchase a body were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Owning a private celestial body means becoming its sole owner and taking on the corresponding responsibility for its maintenance.
Therefore, only a few people can meet the application requirements to "buy a planet".
And what Mr. Marshal meant... was obviously that he had already bought this stunningly beautiful planet.
Facing the black-haired girl's undisguised gaze of admiration, Elvis felt satisfied with the gift he had chosen for the first time.
The excuse of "just passing by" is just because I don't want to put pressure on the other party.
This small planet is the most satisfactory "star" he found during his spare time while traveling alone in a spaceship through the vast space.
In the approved application, he added an additional permission holder.
If he dies unexpectedly within the signed time limit, the inheritance right of the planet named "AT" by him will be transferred from the first priority to the second priority, that is, to the hands of the authority heir Tong Wanwan.
If Wanwan doesn't want to keep it, or if something happens to her, this small planet worth 10 billion can be resold at a higher price and become her strongest backing.
only……
What Elvis hoped to wait for was two people's names side by side on the planet contract.
Instead of removing one person and filling in the name of another.
Coming to her senses, Tong Wanwan once again looked up at the night sky.
It turns out that Mr. Marshal was talking about looking at the stars.
It’s really like looking at the “stars”.
This entire planet belongs to Mr. Marshal. When you think about it, it’s really... incredible.
Elvis took a few steps forward, then suddenly turned sideways and reached out to her.
"Come with me."
The man's voice was cold.
Besides being cool, it also overflows with a subtle tenderness.
Being a few steps away allowed Tong Wanwan to see him more clearly from beginning to end.
It is no longer an angle that requires you to raise your eyes slightly.
Tong Wanwan unconsciously licked her lips which were inexplicably pursed.
I always feel...
Mr. Marshal, very solemnly.
And this time, she could clearly see the other person's slightly trembling fingers that could not be hidden.
Would he be sad if I refused?
【Wanwan.】
System 1551, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly appeared: [Don't think too much, do what you really want to do.]
Tong Wanwan froze in place.
Elvis's hand never dropped, his palm spread out, stubbornly frozen in front of him.
She took a deep breath, held it, and calmed down for several seconds before slowly letting it out.
He took one step forward, two steps... walking faster and faster, and finally rushed in front of the silver-haired man and placed his hand on his slightly cold palm.
"Let's go." Tong Wanwan's face was filled with a bright smile that Elvis had never seen before.
Palms touching, skin touching, temperatures blending.
It made Elvis' heart tremble violently.
He took her to a hillside that was closer to the flying tribe in the sky. The spaceship was not far from the hillside and could be reached in just over ten minutes on foot.
"So amazing!" Tong Wanwan could no longer speak.
The hillside is very high. Standing here, the creatures that slowly float across the sky, like flying birds or swimming fish, are really within reach and can be touched with just a stretch of the hand.
"Want to touch it?"
“……?!”
Ives explained, "They are mild-tempered and insensitive."
"Besides, they are not afraid of people and will not hurt anyone."
After he finished speaking, he raised his arm and gently touched the transparent wings of one of the big guys with his fingertips.
The big guy was flying very slowly and didn't react at all when his wings were touched.
It wasn't until two seconds had passed that it retracted its wings as if it had sensed something, slowly turned its body in one direction, head down, and slowly floated towards the two of them.
"Mr. Marshal, it's coming down!" Tong Wanwan exclaimed softly, but she was not afraid.
It was because - the closer the flying giant got, the more clearly one could see the gorgeous and delicate light patterns on its body, which were like works of art.
And its body is translucent.
Against the backdrop of the night sky and stars, it reflects a light blue, extraordinary light.
"Because I touched it just now and was discovered." Elvis's expression was gentle, "So, it wanted to come over and say hello."
The translucent giant swam very slowly, first flying around the two of them, and then slowly stopped in mid-air.
It happened to stop in front of Tong Wanwan, and its pair of clear baby blue eyes stared at her quietly and blankly.
After a long time, it seemed to have "finished the test" and swung its tail fin, moving closer to the human girl. It also put aside the sharp corners on its head and rubbed her black hair with its soft side face.
The big guy paused for a moment, confused, as if thinking about something.
As she watched, Tong Wanwan unconsciously breathed lighter.
Does it... want to get close to her?
