Still want to chat?!
What's the point of talking?
If all five of them meet and bring this up, wouldn't it practically turn into a meeting with the parents and an engagement ceremony?!
"Your Highness, with all your cunning schemes, doesn't your conscience bother you?"
"We spiritual beings have no conscience."
Seeing that Tong Su was speechless after his retort, Xuan Ting's lips curled up slightly, and a smile flashed across his eyes.
He was capable of commanding an expeditionary force, so of course he wouldn't be so naive as to argue with her over something like this.
In reality, he was deliberately acting frank and innocent to tease her.
She was young and had to mature quickly to survive, so she never got to enjoy the carefree days of childhood.
He couldn't stand seeing her so engrossed in the lab, working day and night, leaving herself with no personal time, so he deliberately threw a tantrum to let her relax.
—Well, it's also a bit like taking the opportunity to establish a formal relationship, so that he can take his girl into his nest as soon as possible and claim her as his own.
That would save those shady characters from constantly acting all adoring and shamelessly coveting her.
Tongsu continued, "Can you swear you didn't intend to take this opportunity to do something bad?"
Of course he wants to! He dreams about it!
Xuan Ting thought to himself, but his face remained serious: "Of course not. I'm a very upright person. I can swear that I only see you as a scholar I must win over, and as a heartless woman I need to seek justice for. If I have any other feelings, I'll disappear right now—"
Bang!
The starship seemed to have crashed into some enormous barrier, shaking the entire ship. A red alarm started beeping urgently, and people rushed around shouting in the corridors and rooms.
Tong Su watched helplessly as Xuan Ting's already semi-transparent spiritual body began to turn into wisps of smoke and was about to disappear!
"Xuan Ting! Xuan Ting—"
Xuan Ting was on the verge of a breakdown.
Seriously? He just made that vow offhand, and now he's really going to disappear?
Sensing something faintly calling to him from the depths of the Imperial Star System, he realized that this was not disappearance, but a return.
"Xuanting! How are you? Don't scare me, what happened to you—"
Ah, this is the first time she's ever been so nervous about herself!
How wonderful!
"I'm fine, don't worry, there's no danger!"
He immediately returned, but as his body dissipated, his voice became increasingly indistinct. Seeing the anxiety and worry on Tong Su's face, he opened his mouth to explain, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly paused, his eyes flashing.
"...I'm about to disappear," he whispered weakly, "Promise me...if I come back alive...we'll go to the expeditionary force together, okay..."
Tong Su was initially terrified by his disappearance, but upon seeing his now faint voice and his barely breathing appearance, the fear and unease in her heart vanished instantly.
If he were really in danger, he wouldn't be putting on such an exaggerated act!
He still has the leisure to add drama to his life, so there's probably nothing wrong with him. He's probably just back in the Imperial Star System, and his spiritual body has automatically returned to his physical body.
Tong Su looked at Xuan Ting, who was acting like a drama queen, with a cold expression.
Xuan Ting was unaware that Tong Su had seen through him, and was still groaning and making up stories for himself: "...If I don't come back, you must remember me...As long as you remember me in your heart, I will always be here..."
"San San, I think the expeditionary force won't be bored anymore."
Um?
Xuan Ting looked puzzled.
"You have more drama in your performance than those actors!"
