Gu Qingqing asked, "Then why did this shock you so much, and why did you look so troubled?"
Fu Xiaoya continued, "What shocked us wasn't that, but their defense system. Although they are isolated from the world, anyone who wants to attack them should be wary of their curses."
Chen Zhe asked curiously, "A curse? What curse?"
Ye Qi continued, “I heard that all their residents have a curse. Their curse is a virus hidden in flowers. Once an outsider invades and attacks them, they will release flowers to attack the outsider. If the outsider inhales the virus inside, they will start to itch all over their body, become red and swollen, feel hot and painful, and die in no time.”
"Isn't this just a kind of poison? How can it be a curse?"
"The strange thing is that when they release the flowers, they chant incantations in a language that is incomprehensible. These flowers can control people's minds, kill outsiders immediately, or even allow them to live for a few days, torturing them to a slow death."
"Is there no antidote for this poison?"
"No, other alchemists can't make an antidote either. However, someone who doesn't have malicious intent wouldn't poison you like this."
Fu Heng looked at Ye Yunxi. "Xixi, don't worry, we'll be fine."
“I know, I’ve always wanted to know what my relationship with Qingwu is, and why her things are here with me.”
"Once we find Qingwu, we'll know the whole story."
Gu Qingqing comforted Ye Yunxi. "Sister Yunxi, if there's any problem, you'll only know after meeting her in person. When are you and Brother Heng leaving?"
Fu Heng replied, "Tianlang Star is quite far; it would take about a week to get there by spaceship. We're leaving the day after tomorrow; there are some things I need to explain."
"Sister Yunxi, Brother Heng, please be careful on your journey. We'll be waiting for you here," Chen Zhe said immediately.
Ye Yunxi nodded; the fewer people they send, the better.
"Then I'll trouble you to look after the house. I'll leave you plenty of food and daily necessities."
Ye Qi said directly, "Sister-in-law, let Xuan Yu and Min Yu go with you. Xiao Ya and I will stay here. Don't worry."
"Okay, then I'll give you the things. The cooked food will be in your space. You can eat it whenever you want. There are also some fresh vegetables and meat."
"Okay, we'll see how it goes when the time comes."
Then they contacted Ye Jinxuan and told him the news.
Ye Jinxuan immediately entrusted all matters to his trusted confidants and the acting clan leader.
The next morning, Ye Yunxi told the Lu family that she was going on a long journey and would return in a while.
Fu Heng then found Base Chief Wu and told him that he, Ye Yunxi, and Xuan Yu had to go out to take care of some business and their return time was uncertain. He suggested that they could tell his friends if they needed anything.
After everything was settled, some things were given to Ye Qi, and Chen Zhe and Zhang Haiyi also received some daily necessities and instant food.
The vegetables and meat are all in Ye Qi's space. Just ask Ye Qi for whatever you want to eat.
On the morning of the third day, Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng had a simple breakfast and then said goodbye to Gu Qingqing and the others, not letting them see them off.
Fu Heng, Ye Yunxi, Xuan Yu, and Min Yu arrived at the beach, where Ye Jinxuan was already waiting.
Without saying a word, Minyu directly moved out of the spacecraft.
The hatch opened, and the group boarded the aircraft. The space inside wasn't very large, but it had everything they needed.
Minyu went directly to the pilot's seat, started the aircraft, and slowly ascended. Once it reached a certain altitude, it quickly flew into the sky.
Fu Heng was worried that Ye Yunxi wouldn't be able to adapt to this rapid pace of advancement, so he told her.
"Xixi, this speed is quite fast. You might feel a little uncomfortable when you get to the atmosphere, but just hang in there."
Ye Yunxi nodded. "Okay, I'm just worried about the lack of oxygen in space."
"Don't worry, I have medicine here. Once you take it, you'll feel like you're breathing freely on Earth. But that won't alleviate the discomfort caused by the atmosphere."
As Fu Heng spoke, he took out a bottle of medicine from his spatial storage, opened the cap, poured out three pills, and gave one each to Ye Yunxi, Xuan Yu, and Ye Jinxuan.
Ye Yunxi picked up the pill, put it in her mouth, and it melted instantly.
Soon, they arrived at the atmospheric level. Ye Yunxi covered her head, feeling unwell, while Minyu and Ye Jinxuan also felt a little uncomfortable.
As the spacecraft ascended, Ye Yunxi felt like her head was about to explode.
Fu Heng watched her with concern, wanting to do something for her, but he could only bear it all by himself.
"Xixi, hang in there, we'll be over soon after we pass through the atmosphere."
Ye Yunxi was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. She just clutched her head in agony, then suddenly felt dizzy, her vision went black, and she fell into a coma.
Until a woman's voice appeared in Ye Yunxi's mind.
“You’ve come, my child. I’ve been looking for you for so many years, and I’m finally able to see you again.”
When Ye Yunxi woke up again, she was already in outer space.
When Fu Heng saw that Ye Yunxi had woken up, he immediately asked her what was wrong.
"Xixi, how are you? Is anything bothering you?"
Ye Yunxi was stunned for a moment before she reacted and said.
“I’m fine now, but when I passed out just now, I heard a woman’s voice in my head. She said, ‘You’ve come, my child. Your mother has been looking for you for so many years, and I’m finally able to see you.’”
Fu Heng frowned. "What does this mean? Have you seen what that woman looks like?"
Ye Yunxi shook her head. "No, her face was blurry, I couldn't see it clearly."
Fu Heng thought for a moment and said, "It might be related to the mist. Once we arrive, we'll know the answer."
Ye Yunxi didn't say anything, she just nodded. She looked out the window at the scenery, which was pitch black with some light.
"Those are what you Blue Star people often call stars, but they are not. They are asteroids. They emit light, some brighter, some dimmer, and some even have no light at all."
Every tens of thousands of years, one or a few asteroids reach the end of their lifespan, break into millions of pieces, and fall somewhere on Earth. These are what humans commonly call meteors.
From this perspective, they appear relatively small and not far apart. But in reality, each one is quite far apart, and their size is comparable to that of an airplane.
Ye Yunxi was amazed. So this was the star they saw on Earth, which would become a shooting star tens of thousands of years later. If only she could see it up close.
Fu Heng guessed Ye Yunxi's thoughts. "We can't get too close to them, and we definitely can't go up to them. It's very hot around them; even we aliens don't dare to get close to them easily, let alone humans."
If you encounter them, you must change direction and never go near them.
For the next week or so, Ye Yunxi and the others ate their meals in the space, and when they were bored, they would read introductions and legends about other planets.
