694 – Mom Is Fine
TL : GoldenLung
The lady with the scorpion braid smiled. “It’s alright, don’t worry. Mom is fine.”
The girl with long pinkish-blue hair didn’t seem to be at ease. “Mom, why do you keep coughing? Didn’t you recover from your illness? I’m so worried about you! We gods shouldn’t be able to get sick! Dad said that if a god becomes sick, it will be very, very troublesome. It’s a pity that Auntie Lu isn’t around anymore… Otherwise, she would have definitely cured you. Dad said that none of us are suitable to inherit Auntie Lu’s legacy. Otherwise, a new God of Life would definitely have been born to treat you.”
“Shhh.” The girl with the scorpion braid made a shushing gesture and whispered, “Don’t say anymore. Don’t tell your dad, okay? Otherwise, Mom will get angry. Anyway, there isn’t any good solution right now, so don’t let him worry anymore. It’s already very tough for him to mobilize the Divine Realm to find our home. I can’t let him worry about me anymore, alright?”
“En.” The girl with pinkish blue hair pouted her red lips and leaned against the girl with the scorpion braid. She hugged her arm and her eyes were filled with worry and intimacy.
The girl with the scorpion braid stroked her long hair gently but her eyes were filled with satisfaction.
Right at this moment, her eyes moved slightly and there was another person by the bed. It was the blue-haired man from the palace.
Seeing how close the mother and daughter were, the blue-haired man’s eyes were filled with warmth.
“Dad.” The girl with long, pinkish-blue hair had also noticed the blue-haired man’s arrival. She immediately leaped up and pounced into his embrace as she called out affectionately.
“Haha, baby girl is really becoming a good girl. I’ve been seeing you accompanying Mom every time I come back recently.” The blue-haired man laughed.
“Of course, I’ve always been a good girl to begin with.” The young girl smiled sweetly.
The blue-haired man laughed. “I heard from Yuhao that you’re going to be a mother?”
The young lady blushed and scoffed. “It’s all his fault.”
“That’s right, it’s all his fault.” The blue-haired youth laughed. “Dad will help you beat him up, alright?” With that said, he turned to leave.
“Aiya.” The girl with pinkish blue hair quickly grabbed her father’s hand and rebuked, “Haven’t you beaten him enough in the past? Don’t bully him all the time.”
The blue-haired man laughed. “A grown woman really cannot be kept in the family ! Father-in-law beating up his son-in-law is not enough no matter how many times I beat him up. Who asked him to swindle my favorite baby away?”
“Alright, stop teasing Wutong. Shouldn’t you be on duty now? Why are you back all of a sudden?” The woman with the scorpion braid sat up.
The blue-haired man looked at her gently and said, “I’m here to tell all of you a piece of good news. Just now, my Divine Sense sensed a bloodline aura in the distance. This not only allowed me to locate the coordinates, but more importantly, it means that our precious son is still alive.”
“Really?” The eyes of the girl with the scorpion braid turned extremely bright. She suddenly jumped off the bed and grabbed her husband’s hand, her delicate body trembling with excitement.
The blue-haired man pulled her into his embrace. “Of course, it’s true. When have I ever lied to you? Also, that long distance bloodline resonance feeling was somewhat special. It doesn’t seem to belong to our son, but…”
“Not our son?” The scorpion braid girl immediately became nervous.
“En, it seems to be a generation apart. In other words, the bloodline aura I sensed seems to be our grandson.”
“Ah…”
…
When Lan Xuanyu and his team left the Tang Sect, the sky outside was already dark. They had unknowingly stayed in the Tang Sect headquarters’ Hall of Heroes for a few hours.
Everyone had a different feeling. Some felt that their spiritual power had increased, while others felt that they had gained enlightenment regarding soul skills. They were all different, but they were undoubtedly helpful. This also allowed the seven of them to have a deeper impression of the Tang Sect.
Meng Fei officially granted them the right to cultivate the Tang Sect’s techniques. The Tang Sect’s techniques were available in Shrek Academy and they were allowed to cultivate them freely when they returned. They didn’t need to exchange their emblems anymore.
The Tang Sect’s techniques that Lan Xuanyu had learned were mainly the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and the Purple Demon Eyes, but he was also very interested in other techniques. Whether it was the Mysterious Jade Hands, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, or the Hidden Weapon Hundred Separation, he wanted to learn them all. With the Mysterious Heaven Skill as the foundation, learning these techniques wasn’t too difficult.
Deng Bo became the intermediary between their team and the Tang Sect. Lan Xuanyu had already asked him about their pirate identity.
Deng Bo told them that this was a very simple matter and that the Tang Sect would rent a larger warship for them to complete the mission. The rental would only charge them a symbolic yellow emblem as the rental fee. This was almost equivalent to giving them free access to it.
Everything was ready. Lan Xuanyu went back and informed his team to gather for a meeting before confirming the mission.
Sky Fighter team mission, level three, Planet Scouting. Departure time, two days later.
After confirming the mission, everyone got busy and began preparing for the upcoming journey.
There was another reason why Lan Xuanyu chose this mission. Relatively speaking, the duration of the voyage was shorter. He had been to Sin Planet before and with that super wormhole jump, he could save a lot of time.
He had already checked the route navigation and it would take about six days for them to reach their destination. It was much shorter than the previous mission. This allowed them to have more time to move around on that planet.
Considering that it was a planet for pirates to trade, Lan Xuanyu went to an auction with his partners and bought some items, preparing to trade with that planet. This way, they would look more like pirates. At the same time, he wanted to see if there was anything suitable for them in this place.
After that, their most important task was to forge their Two-Word Battle Armor. The manufacturing of Two-Word Battle Armors undoubtedly required a large amount of resources. It was naturally necessary to take advantage of the mandatory mission period to accumulate some resources.
Just like the Proto Dragon Ore they brought back from their first mission, Lan Xuanyu kept a portion and sold the rest to Shrek Academy.
The academy wasn’t very interested in Proto Dragon Ore, but they told him that the Tang Sect was very interested in researching Proto Dragon Ore, so it was equivalent to selling it to the Tang Sect. It also brought them quite a lot of benefits. This portion of benefits, together with the earnings from the points exchange previously, meant that the average earnings of every member of the 33 Sky Wings exceeded two purple emblems.
This was an entire class! Everyone was grinning from ear to ear.
They needed about 10 purple emblems to exchange for a Sky Wing mecha. Of course, they still had to pay back the rare metals that Lan Xuanyu’s One-Word Battle Armor had forged for them in the future. But according to their speed of accomplishing missions and their speed of earning money, it didn’t seem to be too difficult.
Hence, although their second mission was about to begin, no one had any complaints. Earning resources, becoming stronger, and gaining experience in battle. There was no doubt that carrying out missions was beneficial to all of them. Especially when they saw Lan Xuanyu piloting his Sky Wing mecha and displaying his heroic bearing, it made everyone have even greater expectations for the Sky Wing mecha. Putting everything else aside, transforming was so cool!
All preparations stopped and all sorts of things were stored in the storage space. Departure !
A dark blue warship was quietly docked at Shrek Space Center’s exclusive hangar.
The warship’s coating had changed in the past few days. There were 33 white wings on it, representing the 33 Sky Wings.
After Lan Xuanyu communicated with Deng Bo, he decided to really register as a pirate crew on Sin Planet. This way, everything would look more real. In the future, when they would be carrying out missions, they might need a pirate identity. Now that it was ready, wouldn’t it save them trouble in the future? They just had to be careful and not expose their identities like last time.
