Chapter 111 Ah Chen, Forced to Be a Third Wheel
Meteorite belts may look beautiful, but they hide enormous dangers.
From a distance, they really do look like a jewel necklace quietly floating around the Heron Island Star.
In fact, each of them is rotating at a high speed, and they are all moving at different speeds. They can only barely maintain a balance by relying on the attraction and repulsion between each other.
If an object attempts to pass through the gap between meteorites, it will disrupt the balance, causing one or even several meteorites to deviate from their trajectory and most likely be smashed into dust.
If warships want to take a detour, their safety cannot be guaranteed either.
Because this huge necklace lies across the entire Heron Island Star, no matter how you try to get around it, you'll end up near it.
Any object that gets close will exert a gravitational pull on all meteorites. Since these meteorites vary in size, density, and weight, the gravitational pull they generate will also vary, thus disrupting their balance.
Looking at the meteorite necklace, Xiaobai couldn't help but exclaim, "How did they all come together and form this shape? It's like a miracle!"
“A miracle? You’re right. I don’t believe it was formed naturally at all. There must have been a skilled array master who set up an array here.”
His aim was to prevent outsiders from entering, and to protect or hide some kind of treasure.
The explorer who entered it back then must have just stumbled upon the key point of the formation and entered by accident.
"And this formation's offensive capabilities are likely only aimed at outsiders. It would probably be relatively easy for the people of Lushan Star to leave," Yu Shan analyzed.
"Mrs. Bai is right. When that explorer came back, he said that he went in confused and came out confused."
Later, an expedition team followed the star coordinates he marked and found this asteroid belt, but they couldn't find a way to get in. It is said that they lost many people and ultimately returned empty-handed. "Omar interjected.
He's been feeling really down these past few days. The Star Lord has been scorned by Madam Xuan, so he's been holed up in his room all day. As a dutiful butler, Omar can't just leave his master and wander around on his own.
Having finally arrived at their destination, the Star Lord took the opportunity to leave his room. Even if Madam Xuan disliked him, she couldn't chase him away at this time.
Furthermore, Lady Xuan herself could not hide, because this meteorite belt was the most dangerous place on this trip, and she had to protect the safety of Yu Shan and the fetus in her womb.
"Mom, let me pilot the Silver Wings to scout ahead!" Ah Chen was eager to try, and Yu Shan was very pleased with her son's courage.
"What are you kids doing getting involved in this? If anyone should be scouting, it should be your dad, me!" Xiaobai glared at him.
His son was brave enough, and as a father, he was secretly overjoyed. But as happy as he was, he could never allow his son to take such a risk.
"I'll go. Although I've never been to this place before, I've traversed more than one asteroid belt. In terms of experience, none of you can compare to me."
"Besides, as an SSS-level, my resilience is stronger than all of yours combined," Xiao Ran said.
"Heh! Is SSS-level so great? You talk like you're the only one who matters in the world. If you're so powerful, can you bring your daughter back to life?" Madam Xuan sneered.
Xiao Ran's face turned pale instantly, and she covered her chest with trembling hands, her pain evident.
Seeing that she had successfully provoked him, Madam Xuan felt the frustration in her chest dissipate somewhat.
She suddenly felt a pang of regret, realizing that for the past two hundred years, she had been bearing the pain of losing her child all by herself.
She could have relieved her pain by hurting him; if she had known this earlier, she should have let him live by her side forever so she could enjoy the pleasure of tormenting him.
Seeing that her godmother and Mr. Xiao were arguing as soon as they met, Ah Chen quickly went over and took her hand, saying:
"Godmother, believe me, with Silver Wings by my side, I will definitely be able to cross the asteroid belt successfully."
Moreover, even when I was still in my mother's womb, I could foresee danger, and I was certain I would forge a path unscathed.
Yu Shan was almost persuaded by her son, but her worries about him ultimately prevailed.
Before she could refuse, Madam Xuan said, "Little Achen, if you want to go on a journey, no problem, but the condition is that your godmother will accompany you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately followed up, saying, "Mr. Bai, since A-Chen has such courage and ability, I am willing to go with him."
One SSS-class satellite might not be able to withstand the risks of an asteroid belt, but with two SSS-class satellites protecting him, his safety is definitely not an issue.
When Madam Xuan heard his words, her first reaction was to refute them, but considering A-Chen's safety, she swallowed back the words she was about to say.
Seeing this, Xiaobai quickly winked at Yu Shan and said, "Shanzi, I think with Mr. Xiao and Sister Qingxuan accompanying him, Achen's adventure this time should be safe."
"Yes, I agree." Feather Fan nodded.
She knew that Xiao Ran rarely had the chance to meet Qingxuan face to face. Although it would be a little inconvenient with Achen, such a huge third wheel, in between, it was precisely because he was a child that he could play a role in easing the tension.
At least Qingxuan wouldn't yell at Xiaoran in front of him, and even if Xiaoran lost face, it wouldn't be too embarrassing.
"Chen, let's go. Remember to take good care of your godmother. If you encounter any danger, follow Mr. Xiao's instructions and don't act on your own," Xiaobai said decisively.
He looked at Xiao Ran, as if to say, "Brother, this is all I can do for you. Good luck to you!"
Xiao Ran returned his grateful look, suppressed her elation, and said to A Chen in a serious tone, "Activate your Silver Wings. Let's all get into the cockpit and take off."
"Why are you riding in a mecha? Don't you have a mecha?" Madam Xuan glared at him.
“One mech has a relatively small impact on the asteroid belt. With an additional mech, not only will the firepower be dispersed and it will be difficult for each other to support each other, but the probability of colliding with a meteorite if it derails will also double,” Xiao Ran explained.
Madam Xuan knew he had a point, but the thought of being in the same small, enclosed space as him made her feel inexplicably angry.
She was genuinely afraid that she wouldn't be able to control herself and would directly attack him; that's what she thought, and she couldn't help but say it aloud.
Xiao Ran quickly said, "Please rest assured! I promise I won't fight back or talk back, and the scene you're worried about won't happen."
Madam Xuan was both angry and ashamed by his shameless words. This man has really lost all sense of shame now, saying such sour things in front of the children.
Is he really the Lord of a Star? He seems more like a street thug.
Xiao Ran: Thick-skinned, the future is bright! Thin-skinned, the rest of your life will be spent alone.
Ah Chen: Ahhhhh! He doesn't want to be a third wheel!
