"I noticed something was wrong near the warship, so I took a few people out to investigate." Han Chen checked Yu Nian's body and confirmed that she was not injured before holding her in his arms. "Where is Admiral Pei? Why didn't he come in with you?"
Yu Nian told Han Chen what happened at that time.
Han Chen nodded and said, "I asked General Pei to find you. If it's just a Zerg, there's no need to worry at all, but..." He pondered.
"Just in case, let others go to help General Pei." Han Chen immediately dispatched a team.
"There are quite a few Zerg around the warship, and we can't alert them now," Han Chen explained to Yu Nian.
Their purpose this time was only to explore, not to fight. Moreover, they were accompanied by two noble princes, so they could not act rashly.
The warship has now entered stealth mode, and the Zerg that accidentally broke into Yu Nian's room did so by accident.
But what if it wasn’t an accident?
A hint of darkness flashed in Han Chen's eyes, as if there had been an invisible person pushing all of this...
The huge cockpit was so quiet that you could almost hear every breathing. Yu Nian glanced around and finally found Yu Zhaozhao in the middle.
Yu Nian waved at her, and seeing that she was fine, Yu Zhaozhao nodded in response.
Every minute and every second seemed to pass by extremely long.
The dense red dots surrounding the warship can be clearly seen on the light blue fluorescent screen in the air.
Yu Nian stared at the screen so hard that she almost developed intensive phobia.
Until a large hand blocked her view.
"Don't look, don't worry." Han Chen's voice sounded in her ears.
Yu Nian blinked her dry eyes and said, "Okay."
"Admiral! The admiral is back!" A low voice sounded from the crowd.
The door of the emergency passage opened, revealing Pei Ling's tall figure.
The light in the room slowly illuminated the man's face, his handsome features shrouded in a faint shadow. His calm eyes made people feel awe, and the dried black blood remaining on his cheeks added a bit of solemnity to his look.
Yu Nian secretly looked at Pei Ling through Han Chen's fingers.
Until those sharp eyes looked over, Yu Nian even thought he noticed that he was looking at him.
"Admiral, what should we do next?"
Pei Ling unnoticeably withdrew his gaze and looked at the virtual screen in the air, quickly analyzing the current situation: "The Zerg are very likely hiding near the M system. The Zerg surrounding the warship are probably their scouts. They are not very intelligent, but they are extremely formidable. The warship should maintain stability and slow down its speed. Wait until the surrounding Zerg have left before continuing at full speed."
He was like a commander with a clear plan in mind, assigning tasks to various departments in an orderly manner.
Yu Nian had already pulled Han Chen's hand down. From her current angle, she could only see Pei Ling's profile.
The man's eyebrows were raised sharply, and his eyes were sharp and calm.
Yu Nian almost inevitably recalled the time when Pei Ling saved her. He had the same calm expression, and his calmness and self-control were accompanied by extremely rational judgment.
Han Chen lowered his eyes slightly and easily discovered that the little prince in his arms was staring at another male orc in a daze.
The inexplicable emotion was like a thorny vine, tightly wrapped around his heart, and the pain was so severe that he almost forgot to breathe.
Han Chen forced himself to look away.
He was afraid that Nian Nian would discover that his vision was so bad.
Jealous and selfish.
It's simply despicable.
After a long wait, everyone in the cockpit was on edge.
Surveillance showed that several Zerg had entered the living cabin to investigate.
A few more hours of agony continued until all the red dots disappeared around the warship.
"Repair the warship immediately, maintain concealment, and ensure that the warship functions correctly before moving forward." Pei Ling gave the order immediately.
The technicians immediately operated the robots to start the maintenance task. With the assistance of high-end technology, the maintenance work was completed very smoothly. After the warship lifted the stealth mode, it began to move towards the M galaxy at full speed.
Most of the people who had originally gathered in the cockpit left and returned to their own lounges.
Yu Nian was about to leave with Han Chen, but saw Pei Ling's adjutant running towards her.
"Your Highness, please stay!"
"What's wrong?" Yu Nian asked.
The adjutant glanced at Yu Nian, then at Han Chen, "The general asked Your Highness to come over. He may need a favor."
Yu Nian was a little confused, so she asked Han Chen to wait for her here for a while.
"General Pei, is there anything I can help you with?" Yu Nian walked up to Pei Ling and asked.
The man's face seemed a little pale. Could it be that he was injured in the previous fight with the Zerg?
"Your Highness, is it convenient for you to come to my lounge?" Pei Ling's voice was slightly hoarse, and his pair of dark gray eyes looked at Yu Nian.
"That's...good."
Pei Ling had saved him after all, so Yu Nian would definitely help him to the best of his ability.
Pei Ling's lounge was very simple, with dark interiors. Yu Nian felt that the temperature seemed to drop a lot as soon as she stepped into the room.
As soon as Yu Nian entered the room, he saw Pei Ling turn around and approach him.
"General Pei..." Yu Nian subconsciously stepped back.
Until there was a "click".
She looked up along the man's raised arm and saw that his hand was resting on the back of the door, and she was leaning against it as well.
The close-fitting cheek almost fills the entire field of vision.
"Your Highness..."
The man's low and hoarse voice sounded in Yu Nian's ear, bringing with it a tingling sensation.
"What, what happened?" Yu Nian leaned back with a burning cheek.
Pei Ling lowered his eyes slightly, looked at her with his dark grey eyes, took in her blushing and uneasy look, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.
"I just need your Highness to do me a small favor."
"Help me to comfort my mind. My mental strength was uncontrollable during the fight with the Zerg just now. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to hold on until we reach the M system."
"I'll help you." Yu Nian turned his head slightly and agreed.
The man looked at her exposed profile quietly, then stood up and left.
The two sat at opposite ends of the table. Yu Nian saw Pei Ling looking at her, so she said, "Close your eyes first. Don't resist when I put my spiritual tentacles in."
Seeing the man close his eyes as he was told, Yu Nian also closed his eyes and entered his own spiritual sea of consciousness.
The ice-blue spiritual tentacles seemed to be thicker than when Yu Nian first saw them. When they saw Yu Nian, they happily came forward to greet him.
Yu Nian touched the spiritual tentacles that were moving towards her one by one, and then controlled them to move towards Pei Ling's forehead.
The moment he entered Pei Ling's spiritual sea of consciousness, Yu Nian could feel the man's whole body tense up, as if he was subconsciously resisting anyone who broke into his spiritual sea of consciousness.
An indestructible spiritual barrier was erected high, and Yu Nian looked around but couldn't find a way in.
"General Pei, relax. Can you try to remove the mental barrier?"
