Chapter 136: Void Beast
Xiu’s expression was extremely grave. Seeing this black hole, he couldn’t help but recall the information he had seen in the royal secret archives as a child.
It mentioned that among various star beast races, a void beast had once appeared. It could appear in the human world without any warning and leave just as suddenly.
Humans were unable to track its whereabouts, and it never appeared again afterward, so humans gradually forgot about this void beast.
Seeing this black hole again, Xiu’s first instinct was that it was related to that void beast.
Xiu noted down the position and quickly left, returning to the camp.
On the way, Xiu recalled the signs of each star beast tide. Humans had always been puzzled by every star beast tide that appeared; they had clearly checked many times.
Yet those star beasts appeared out of thin air on Edge Star, launching fierce attacks without any warning.
If it was related to this black hole, then the appearance of these star beasts made sense.
At this time, Shi An’an already knew that Xiu had found the black hole they had come out of. She had tidied up and was sitting there waiting for Xiu to return.
At the same time, she continued explaining the current situation to Father.
After telling the position, she stopped talking, because she knew Eldest Brother had already contacted Father, and they were now discussing how to get back.
Shi An’an logged onto Star Net and saw many fans leaving messages, asking why she had stopped the live stream.
She also saw the announcement issued by the First Legion a month ago, which said that due to Eldest Brother’s dereliction of duty, all the soldiers of the First Legion garrisoned on Edge Star had sacrificed…
The internet was full of people cursing and blaming Eldest Brother, and even after it was said that Eldest Brother had also sacrificed, the online scolding continued unabated.
Seeing this kind of announcement from the First Legion, which was clearly framing and slandering, Shi An’an felt very angry.
At the same time, she felt regret for those innocent lives.
Xiu returned. He walked to Shi An’an’s lounge, and before he could knock, Shi An’an opened the door.
“An’an…” Xiu lowered his head to look at Shi An’an’s face, smiling silently.
Shi An’an opened the door. “Come in and talk?”
“Okay.” Xiu walked in and closed the door, blocking the group of gossiping eyes behind him.
“Who is that? Your Highness actually smiled!!!”
“Oh my god, this is the first time I’ve seen Your Highness smile!”
“Who is that?”
“Don’t know, never seen before!”
“After all these years, I’ve never seen any woman get close to Your Highness…”
At this time, Lake and the others were behind a group of soldiers, watching the heated discussion in front. Libo scratched his head in confusion. “Who is that?”
Sail whispered, “Nov said it’s that girl from H11 Star!”
“Ah? No way? How did she get here? Chasing after our Your Highness?”
“Don’t know, anyway, they appeared here.”
“Stop discussing! Those who need healing, go get healed! Those who need rest, go rest! Those who need to clean up the battlefield, clean up the battlefield…”
Lake walked over and scolded them, and everyone dispersed in a hurry.
Lake turned back to look at Sail and the others. “Everyone okay?”
“Cough, we have things to do! Things to do!” Sail and the others immediately turned and left.
Lake frowned as he looked at the closed lounge, his heart filled with worry.
Xiu looked at Shi An’an and said seriously, “I saw that black hole. That’s where you came out from.”
Shi An’an nodded. “Yes, we came out from the black hole, but we don’t know where it leads.”
“You mean, there are more of these black holes in other places!” Xiu frowned.
“Mm.”
“What happened? Weren’t you on H11 Star all this time?” Xiu looked at Shi An’an with worry.
“Uh… didn’t you see the announcement on Star Net?”
Upon hearing this, Xiu opened his optical computer and searched, but most were Empire news and messages. Only in an inconspicuous spot did he find the announcement from the Federation’s First Legion.
After reading the content, Xiu frowned. He didn’t believe it. He had dealt with Shi Anfeng and didn’t believe he was the kind of irresponsible person.
Shi An’an explained the whole story from the side.
After hearing it, Xiu felt only heartache.
He hadn’t expected that when family was in trouble, An’an had gone to rescue alone. Fortunately, she was safe now; if something had happened…
“You’ve had it tough.” Xiu looked at Shi An’an and said.
Shi An’an looked up, puzzled at Xiu. When she saw the disapproval and heartache in his eyes, her heart warmed.
“Not tough at all! That’s my Eldest Brother!”
Xiu looked at Shi An’an, his gaze locked. He knew that if any person from H11 Star was in danger, this girl would rush to rescue without hesitation…
This was her, the silly girl who was wholeheartedly sincere to everyone!
The green plants were so precious and special, yet she could give them away casually. At first, he didn’t understand.
Later, he realized that what An’an did was to repay sincerity with sincerity. To those who were good to her, she would be doubly good to them.
To those who were bad to her, she would ignore them completely.
Such a pure girl with clear loves and hates dared to charge into the star beast nest alone to save her brother. Sigh…
Xiu didn’t know why, but his heart felt a bit sour and swollen.
“How has your body been lately?” Shi An’an asked.
Xiu came back to his senses. “Very good. I also have to thank you for healing me back then. I’m completely recovered.”
Shi An’an smiled and nodded. “Good that you’re recovered, but fortunately there was that lightning bolt back then…”
At this point, Shi An’an stopped and didn’t continue. She changed the topic and asked about other things.
Xiu didn’t find it strange and answered An’an’s questions one by one.
“So you really are Empire royalty…” Shi An’an exclaimed. No wonder those people had risked their lives to save him back then.
“Mm.”
“Can you lend us a starship to go home?” Shi An’an finally got to the point.
Upon hearing this, Xiu’s first reaction was to refuse. He had finally seen her again, and he was a bit reluctant to let her leave.
“Sure, I’ll arrange it now.” Xiu hid his emotions and sent a message to Lake.
“By the way, about the black hole, you absolutely must not jump in yourself. That’s very dangerous. If you’re transmitted to an unfamiliar place with no signal and no supplies…”
Shi An’an was afraid Xiu would rashly jump into the black hole.
“Moreover, in the star beast nest, there’s also a very powerful star beast hiding. Back then, with just one roar, it made me spit blood.”
Hearing that Shi An’an had spit blood, Xiu immediately looked at her.
“I’ll call someone to check your body.”
“Huh? No need, I’m already fine!” Shi An’an stopped him, amused.
Seeing Xiu’s skeptical gaze, she nodded vigorously. “Really, I’m really fine!”
“If anywhere feels uncomfortable, tell me.”
“Okay, definitely!”
Only then did Xiu relax. He knew An’an’s cultivation was different from others; she had her own way of recovery.
