After taking a nap, Xu Nian faced herself with a normal mindset and stared blankly at the ceiling for a long time.
In conclusion, she was just an ordinary person.
When Fu Yue noticed Xu Nian coming out of the room, he was prepared for her to throw a tantrum, but to his surprise, she didn't say anything.
Her mood was indifferent, just like before.
Fu Yue leaned his face closer, she gave him a disgusted look, and then pushed him away.
"Honey, are you alright?" Things hadn't gone as he'd expected, and Fu Yue felt a little uneasy.
"I'm fine. I'm going out for a bit." Xu Nian went into the armory, put on her combat uniform, grabbed her short sword and battle axe, and went out.
"Hey! Wife, wait for me." Fu Yue put on his combat uniform, grabbed his short knife, and chased after her.
Once inside the hovercar, Fu Yue noticed Xu Nian staring out the window with her chin resting on her hand, so he followed her gaze.
The base has now returned to a prosperous and stable state, and the Star Beast tide of a year ago is now a thing of the past.
But everyone harbored a hidden worry: when would the next Star Beast Tide arrive?
"Wife, are you going out to kill star beasts all by yourself this time, without the team?" Fu Yue felt a pang of anxiety when he saw that Xu Nian hadn't informed the other team members; she was about to do something dangerous.
"I'm not taking them with me; the place I'm going to this time is quite dangerous," Xu Nian said bluntly.
She was going to find the ninth-tier star beast that killed her parents, so it was clearly inappropriate for her to bring her teammates along.
"Niannian, what are you trying to do?" Fu Yue's eyelids twitched, and he quickly turned off the hovercar.
Seeing Fu Yue's obstruction, Xu Nian immediately frowned in displeasure. Her cold eyes fell on him, and even without saying a word, Fu Yue knew she was angry.
“Niannian, we can discuss what you want to do. I will help you. Don’t act impulsively.” Fu Yue placed his hands on Xu Nian’s shoulders, his eyes full of earnest affection.
“Fu Yue, I need to learn to grow on my own. I can’t rely on you forever.” Xu Nian sighed. Although she didn’t want to admit it, Fu Yue had been helping her all along.
It's not that she couldn't see it; it's that his actions from the very beginning made her unable to accept everything he did.
"Niannian, you can rely on me. I will always be your strong support," Fu Yue said anxiously, his expression visibly panicked.
If she doesn't rely on him, then he's useless.
She already had no attachment to him, and if he becomes useless, she'll completely abandon him!
No, he can't let that happen.
The darkness in Fu Yue's heart continued to fester; he longed to break her wings and stop her from flying any further.
But if she can no longer lift a knife, she will hate him to death.
Given her stubborn nature, the last thing he wanted to see might happen.
The light in Fu Yue's eyes flickered uncertainly, and his face was so gloomy it seemed to drip water.
Seeing that this person would act up at the drop of a hat, Xu Nian didn't tolerate him and grabbed his combat uniform by the chest, demanding, "Fu Yue, what are you trying to do to me now?"
"Niannian, don't abandon me, I'm useful." Fu Yue was lost in his thoughts, his mind filled with images of Xu Nian leaving him.
Xu Nian took a deep breath, slapped him across the face, and seeing that he had finally snapped out of his daze, she snorted coldly. "Are you awake yet?"
"Niannian, can you hit me again?" Fu Yue was still a little dazed, and brought the other half of his face, which hadn't been hit, close to Xu Nian's face.
With a crisp "snap," Fu Yue slowly smiled. He grabbed Xu Nian's hand and kissed it repeatedly, his expression so strange that Xu Nian wanted to stay away from him.
A year later, he seemed to have gone even crazier.
Xu Nian didn't understand. In the past year, although she hadn't always obeyed him, she had always given him his requests. How did he become like this now?
He changes his expression at the slightest provocation, and his sinister look clearly indicates ill intentions.
What did she do to him?
"Fu Yue, if you have any complaints, you can say so directly." Xu Nian decided to communicate with him again, hoping that there might still be a chance to salvage the situation.
"Niannian, will you abandon me if you think I'm useless?" Fu Yue anxiously grabbed Xu Nian's hand, insisting that Xu Nian interlock her fingers with his to give himself some sense of security.
"..." How was she supposed to answer that?
How could a nine-star warrior like him have the illusion that he is useless?
Besides, if she says she'll abandon him, will he just comply?
He estimated he would go so crazy that she would regret it.
Don't ask her why she thinks that way; just go with your gut feeling.
That's how Fu Yue is perceived by her.
Seeing that Xu Nian remained silent for a long time, staring at him with an indescribable look, Fu Yue's heart began to pound.
"Niannian, why won't you answer me? Did I hit the nail on the head? Have you been planning to get rid of me all along?" Fu Yue's face became more and more distorted as he spoke, and the star power on his body began to vibrate.
Xu Nian's expression changed slightly. She hated madmen. She hated madmen with power even more.
Don't you know where you are before you go crazy?
With so many hovercars coming and going above the base, if one of them were caught in Fu Yue's stellar energy and fell from mid-air, it would be a truly unjust death.
Thinking of this, Xu Nian slammed Fu Yue against the car wall with her knee, grabbed his chin, and angrily said, "Fu Yue, that's enough! I haven't even settled accounts with you for what happened last night, and you're already causing trouble here. What? Just because I'm not going to hold it against you, you think you can act arrogantly and ride roughshod over me?"
"Niannian, I didn't mean that," Fu Yue instinctively defended himself.
"You didn't? Then what do you mean by this?" Xu Nian pointed to the starlight emanating from his body, reminding him of what he had just done.
"Niannian, I was wrong," Fu Yue apologized with a fawning smile.
Xu Nian shook her head, refusing to accept Fu Yue's apology, and said to him with disappointment, "Fu Yue, you're not just letting me down, you're letting down the entire base."
"As a galactic warrior, the worst thing you can do is lose control of yourself. Do you know how much damage your loss of control will cause to the base?"
Upon hearing Xu Nian's words, Fu Yue's face turned pale, and he completely panicked under her disappointed gaze.
He was also a Galactic Warrior, and in the early days of becoming a Galactic Warrior, he knew the Galactic Warrior Code by heart.
Now he is losing himself.
The darkness he felt towards Xu Nian almost drove him to lose his mind.
"Fu Yue, what exactly is wrong with you?" Xu Nian's gaze was deep. If Fu Yue, this ticking time bomb, wasn't dealt with, he could explode at any moment.
Fu Yue lowered his head in frustration, looking dejected, and said, "Niannian, I've actually always been afraid."
Xu Nian's lips twitched upon hearing this. He never seemed scared at all, and he had a whole repertoire of threats against her.
After mentally ranting, I still had to ask the question: "What are you afraid of?"
Fu Yue's eyes were lifeless, and he said bitterly, "I've always been afraid that you'll leave me."
He knew very well that what was forced was ultimately forced, and her desire to leave had always remained.
Every night when he held her in his arms, he was filled with anxiety and uncertainty.
