Lan Xue, awaking from her coma, was groggy and dazed. She opened her pretty big eyes and was shocked to find herself inside a "coffin."
"Hey, hey, is anyone there? I'm not dead, why have you buried ?"
She flailed about inside the "coffin," and in just two or three seconds, it opened up, revealing a face above her.
Lan Xue, without thinking, threw a punch, but mid-way she saw that the person reached out a finger and gently blocked her small fist.
"Are you trying to ruin my looks?" Bai Zhongqi complained.
Seeing it was Bai Zhongqi, Lan Xue relaxed and said, "Ah, it's Uncle."
Ling behind her snickered and said, "How did you end up being called Uncle? Your face still looks so tender."
At that mont, Lan Xue noticed behind Bai Zhongqi stood a ravishingly beautiful woman, so stunning it felt almost unreal. Lan Xue thought her mother and aunt were unparalleled beauties (why hadn't she inherited her mother's looks), but this woman was every bit their equal.
Lan Xue sized up her figure, noting the woman's voluptuous curves, radiantly sexy in a way different from her mother and aunt's style.
"Eh, Uncle, so this is your type," Lan Xue patted her own modest chest and felt sowhat relieved.
Bai Zhongqi knew it was useless to fuss with this young girl, so he simply said, "We were ambushed by that guy Yuan before, and you passed out."
Lan Xue rembered she and Bai Zhongqi were participating in a treasure hunt and anxiously asked, "Did Yuan get the Golden Great Sail Ship?"
Bai Zhongqi smiled and gestured around, saying, "You're in the Golden Great Sail Ship right now."
Lan Xue jumped out of the dical pod, thrilled. She looked around, but her excitent quickly dampened a little, "It seems pretty ordinary, not as upmarket as my aunt's spaceship."
She looked up to Bai Zhongqi with admiration and said, "Uncle, you're truly the most aweso, even without my help, you managed to snatch the Golden Great Sail Ship from so many powerful guys, we're going to strike it rich now."
She might have looked like a sycophantic young girl, but her eyes were rolling around, clearly scheming sothing.
"Even though this big ship was nabbed by this Uncle, he seems kind of clueless, so he should be easy to order around, but that busty woman looks sharp, making it a bit hard to boss Uncle around. Hey, but with the Golden Great Sail Ship, I can at least beco one of the notable powers in the Universe, even my aunt's Champion rcenary Corps can't compare to now."
But, Lan Xue was more concerned about sothing else; she timidly asked, "Uncle, I heard that this ship can grant wishes, take one to see the person they want to see, is that true?"
Bai Zhongqi nodded and said, "It seems to be the case, but it's not 100% foolproof. The Golden Great Sail Ship can travel along the threads of causality, so if the person you want to et has a deep connection with you, then you should be able to et them."
This ability, unfortunately, was not sothing that Bai Zhongqi's Iridium Star Ship possessed. Since the Golden Great Sail Ship traveled according to causality, one couldn't et those with whom they hadn't had any direct interaction. However, those bound by deep ties could indeed be found.
Bai Zhongqi missed Han Jiaxue terribly, and upon learning of the Golden Great Sail Ship's capabilities, he couldn't help but yearn to see her directly. However, the drive for his revenge overca his longing; he needed to manipulate the Virtual Universe in the Void to expand his power. Directly eting Han Jiaxue could complicate matters or even alert the enemy prematurely.
He wasn't ready for Xiao Yu to know that he was not only alive but had also grown stronger.
At the sa ti, he felt a sense of timidity as he neared his holand. He didn't know what Han Jiaxue's current situation was, whether she was living well. He feared that by commanding the Golden Great Sail Ship to sail, he might arrive at a graveyard, afraid to see that she had forgotten him and started a new life. After all, eighteen years had passed.
At that mont, Lan Xue proposed sowhat sheepishly, "Uncle, I would like to use this ship to try and find my father."
Bai Zhongqi was quite surprised as he responded, "Didn't you say your father died in the Star Alliance rebellion eighteen years ago?"
"Uh, that's what my mom said, but my aunt has always insisted that my dad isn't dead. I don't know whom to believe, but if there's even a sliver of hope, I still want to see him."
Lan Xue was not lying; her intense fixation on the Golden Great Sail Ship wasn't solely because she had a teacher who was a Tomb Raiding General of the Universe, but also because the ship possessed this ability. She'd asked her mother more than once what her father was like. Neither her mother nor her aunt was willing to reveal much to her.
But every ti her father was ntioned, she could see endless longing and joy in her mother's expression, coupled with a complex sorrow and pain. When it ca to her aunt, there was an inexplicable yearning, and when her aunt looked at her mother while talking about her father, Lan Xue sensed envy in her gaze.
All this aroused considerable curiosity in Lan Xue about her father – what kind of a man he was, why both her father and aunt refused to even reveal his na to her, and what charisma he possessed that made two beauties who stood out in the Wilds of the Galaxy so devoted to him.
Bai Zhongqi, observing Lan Xue's anxious yet hopeful deanor, hesitated. He had wanted to have the Great Sail Ship take him to Han Jiaxue, and being a little cowardly now didn't an he would remain so forever. However, sailing by causality within a universe could only be used once a year.
Zero watched Bai Zhongqi, knowing what he was hesitating about. At that mont, Zero felt sowhat selfish, not wanting Bai Zhongqi to find Han Jiaxue, wishing she could stay as his only companion forever. But she also knew that not finding Han Jiaxue would leave Bai Zhongqi with greater regrets, so she began to hesitate as well.
Bai Zhongqi sighed and nodded to Lan Xue, saying, "Alright."
Lan Xue cheered and even hugged Bai Zhongqi. She did not know what Bai Zhongqi had given up for her sake, but she was thrilled, for she might now be able to et her father.
With sparkling eyes, Lan Xue gazed at Bai Zhongqi: "Uncle, you're the best, no wonder you have such a beautiful sister for a girlfriend."
This clever spirit also prepared to ingratiate herself with Zero, knowing that to thrive in this ruthless universe, leveraging the power of formidable individuals was essential. Lan Xue might not have had much talent, but she knew how to act cute.
