Chapter 171: Marital Tenderness
The active areas on the Conqueror are extremely large, and dormitory complexes capable of accommodating the daily living needs of 100,000 people have been built in the Living Area.
However, in terms of size, they are definitely different from the Captain’s Quarters where Fan Ren is now.
After a brief rest, even if Fan Ren tried to stop her, Zeng Yingying still forced herself to get up, walking with a gait different from usual, and tidied up the mess in the Room.
Looking at the wreckage all over the floor, Fan Ren’s old face flushed slightly.
Today was indeed a bit too ‘enthusiastic’, but even right after the intense battle, that wonderful sensation lingered in his mind, hard to forget.
“Wife.”
“Hm?” Zeng Yingying smoothed her messy bangs and looked at Fan Ren on the bed with confusion.
“Thank you.”
Zeng Yingying smiled charmingly, her brows and eyes captivating, like a flower blooming.
Fan Ren often thanked her like this; she knew what he meant but never minded.
The two of them had never discussed children; Zeng Yingying knew why.
In Fan Ren’s words, they weren’t ready yet.
She didn’t mind; this was already good enough.
Moreover, after nearly 14 years together, Zeng Yingying knew that Fan Ren had devoted all his energy to the development of Xinghai.
Now, he even shouldered the grand plan for Great Xia’s future development, as well as the crisis that might arrive in 200 years.
She couldn’t help much with work; all she could do was support all of Fan Ren’s decisions and stay by his side, sharing joys and sorrows, never leaving or abandoning him.
After picking up the scattered clothes from the floor, Zeng Yingying returned to the bed again, her delicate body slipping into Fan Ren’s arms like a cat, lifting a pair of alluring eyes to gaze at his chin.
“Husband, let me tell you something; you can’t scold me.”
Hearing this, Fan Ren turned over, shrugged his body, buried his head in her chest, narrowed his eyes, and nodded, enjoying this moment of tranquility.
Feeling the warm breath on her chest, Zeng Yingying’s cheeks flushed slightly, but she reached out and held the back of Fan Ren’s head.
She knew Fan Ren liked this.
Coincidentally, she liked it too.
“I transferred Xu Min and Liu Xinyue to the Xinghai Logistics Department.”
Fan Ren showed no reaction, as if he had fallen asleep.
“Boss, I used my authority; don’t blame Sister Zeng.”
“Shut up.”
“Oh.”
Zeng Yingying playfully stuck out her pink tongue, offered no explanation, and gently closed her alluring eyes; the Room immediately fell silent.
Conqueror Hibernation Pod Area.
This was already the third day the couple had spent on the Spaceship.
Fan Ren rarely devoted all his thoughts to Zeng Yingying; over these three days, he had taken her to visit most of the areas inside this Spaceship.
This was the last area to visit.
“This is the therapy area. The pre-human civilization could undergo therapy in these equipment, which can very effectively delay aging. According to my guess, the pre-human civilization’s average lifespan was probably 500-1000 years.”
“That’s amazing!”
Zeng Yingying hugged Fan Ren’s arm, glanced at the Hibernation Pod in front of her that resembled anti-aging treatment equipment, then looked at Fan Ren again with stars in her eyes.
She just loved the way Fan Ren looked when he spoke confidently; she could never get enough.
Fan Ren stopped in front of a piece of equipment, and his introduction trailed off.
“What’s wrong?” Zeng Yingying looked at him curiously and asked puzzledly.
“Try going in.”
Fan Ren pointed to the equipment with its slowly opening door in front of him, a smile on his face.
In Zeng Yingying’s mind, she immediately thought of the somewhat crazy scene with Fan Ren in the Captain’s Quarters three days ago, and her cheeks instantly flushed red with shyness.
“Husband, you’ve gotten naughty.”
Hearing her say this, Fan Ren immediately realized, his old face turning beet red; he wanted to explain but didn’t know how to bring it up.
The feeling from that day was indeed unforgettable for life.
But Zeng Yingying didn’t hesitate; she stepped into the slanted cabin that could accommodate one person.
In her view, Fan Ren wanted to play tricks again.
Fan Ren watched her lie down in a comfortable position, a trace of reluctance flashing in his eyes.
Then, as if worried about being discovered, he closed his eyes, lowered his head, and kissed Zeng Yingying’s red lips.
A long time later, Fan Ren lifted his head again.
At this moment, Zeng Yingying’s cheeks were flushed, her eyes alluring as silk; she seemed forever unable to resist Fan Ren’s passion.
“Husband, wait for me; I’ll be quick.”
Fan Ren smiled, nodded gently, and softly uttered a few words he had never had the nerve to say before.
“I love you, wife.”
“I love you too, husband.”
Unlike his shyness, Zeng Yingying said these words without any embarrassment, boldly.
Fan Ren stood up, and the pod door closed.
“Boss, how about…”
“Start it; no need to persuade.”
Fan Ren still smiled as he looked at Zeng Yingying under the transparent panel, as if he could never get enough.
Her smile was truly enchanting.
A burst of white mist suddenly filled the pod. Soon, Zeng Yingying’s expression froze, and layers of white frost appeared on her delicate face.
The Hibernation Pod began to operate.
In the Barycenter Region of the Alpha Centauri star system, 4.37 light years from the Solar System.
A super-large structure resembling a door, over 100 kilometers long and wide, stood quietly in deep space as if it had existed since ancient times.
This star system was an extremely rare one composed of three stars, with an ultra-stable structure.
Perhaps because of these three stars, there were no habitable planets here.
But it provided an extremely stable barycenter point.
Perhaps because of this, a ‘gate’ was built here.
This star system seemed devoid of any life, quiet in a terrifying way.
But at this moment, ripples began to appear in the central area of this Star Gate.
Soon, the silhouette of a streamlined Spaceship 20 meters long, 10 meters wide, with two Engine Nozzles mounted at the Tail, flashed into view.
This Spaceship had a rust-like deep red coating; after appearing, it hovered in deep space for about 30 seconds, then agilely turned its bow toward the Solar System.
The next moment, the Spaceship disappeared.
About 10 seconds later, the deep red-coated Spaceship appeared at the edge of this star system, now only 4.2 light years from the Solar System.
Warp Drive system!
However, just as recorded in the Conqueror Operation Manual, the Warp Engine could not be used continuously in Interstellar Space.
So, this Spaceship seemed to sulk, pausing in place for a long time.
Then, the two Engines at the Tail erupted with blue light rings, and it turned into a streak of light, speeding toward the Solar System like a meteor.
1000 km/s.
2000 km/s.
5000 km/s.
Its acceleration showed no sign of stopping.
Soon, the Speed reached 10,000 km/s.
Yet the acceleration didn’t stop; this ‘streak of light’ continued to accelerate in deep space.
At this moment, the concept of stress seemed to vanish from its body.
Ultimately, this Spaceship’s Speed stabilized at 30,000 kilometers per second, or 10% of the Speed of Light.
This was a super high Speed that current Humanity didn’t even dare to dream of!
