Chapter 455: Chapter 454 A Family of Three
Nian Shutong had been communicating with the little white mouse through Divine Sense the whole ti.
“Are you actually aware of where you are? This is a Flying Device; there are places it can’t get through.”
“I only rember the general direction.”
“Don’t you have anything like coordinates? I have plans of my own.”
“No.”
Nian Shutong was at a loss for words. Was this akin to searching for a needle in a haystack?
But no matter what, now that they were out, they couldn’t just return empty-handed.
“Daodao, ti to get to work.”
Nian Shutong passed on the issue of communicating with the little white mouse to Daodao and the two, with an interstellar map in hand, tried to find the nearest location.
Because she would soon be unable to fly.
With the help of the panoramic map and the Star Network, Daodao gave Nian Shutong the first set of coordinates.
“Master, it’s roughly over there.”
“Alright, close enough.”
Nian Shutong finally piloted the Shadowless to the Transfer Station, stowed away the Flying Device, and, together with Fu Yunhe, prepared to board the Starship with Dou Dou and the Little Pink Pig.
At this mont, Dou Dou was squeezed between the two, holding hands with Nian Shutong on one side and with Fu Yunhe on the other, while the Little Pink Pig had already been embraced in Fu Yunhe’s arms.
The Little Pink Pig squird restlessly, clearly uncomfortable, but Fu Yunhe ignored it and just held it with one hand.
Finally, the Little Pink Pig gave up and lay obediently on Fu Yunhe’s arm.
A hint of amusent flashed in Fu Yunhe’s eyes. How many unruly soldiers had he handled in the past—how could he not manage a small pink pig?
Although he couldn’t beat it, what was there to fear with Nian Shutong beside him?
His righteousness had nothing to do with whether or not he was a man.
At this ti, the three of them appeared in their true forms, their striking appearances attracting quite a bit of attention.
“What a beautiful family of three.”
“That child is really cute.”
“The woman’s deanor is so appealing, I’m not even the slightest bit envious, and I’m a woman.”
“Her tear mole is so unique.”
“Mmm, very charming.”
“That little pink pig’s color is so pretty.”
“Yeah, Xiaoxiao is just too adorable.”
Fu Yunhe, upon hearing the praise for the family of three, suddenly felt the sorrow of having their two-person world shattered by the addition of one person and one pig, dissipate.
A family of three is not so bad.
Those praising Dou Dou, the Little Pink Pig, or Nian Shutong; wouldn’t it be his turn to be praised next?
It wasn’t that he was narcissistic, but he felt that the whole family should be praised equally.
“That man is also too handso!”
Right, it had finally co to him.
The smile that was about to form on his face suddenly froze.
“What’s so special about that? It’s obviously the result of costic surgery; no real person looks like that.”
“Mmm, you’re right; it’s too much perfection pursued. Probably nothing on his face is real.”
“But it does look quite natural.”
“It’s nothing, if you went, you’d look just as good.”
Fu Yunhe glanced at the person who had made the ‘if you went, you’d look just as good’ comnt. Bushy eyebrows, large nostrils—were they serious?
Could he and this person even compare?
“Uncle Xiao He, they are praising you.”
The teasing voice of Nian Shutong rang out, making Fu Yunhe shift his gaze to her, unable to look away.
“It’s really a complint; you’ve just got to find sugar amidst the shards of glass.”
“Think about it, a perfectly done-up face from plastic surgery can’t possibly look as pretty as an actual person, right? This is all just their way of saying you look unbelievably gorgeous.”
“Which just ans you’re so beautiful that you’ve surpassed human limits.”
Hearing Nian Shutong’s explanation, Fu Yunhe actually thought it made sense. With no other choice, he pointed to the ticket counter and said, “I’ll go buy the tickets, you guys wait for .”
“Okay.”
“Go, Uncle Xiao He!”
Fu Yunhe left amidst an inexplicable cheer, purchasing tickets for the destination Nian Shutong had ntioned.
Three humans and a pig boarded the starship together. This ti, settling into their seats went without incident, and nothing happened.
The starship began its journey, and all three passengers plus the pig were seated nicely in their own spots.
Fu Yunhe looked over at Nian Shutong, who was separated from him by Little Pink Pig and Dou Dou. It seed that ever since the two of them left the house, they hadn’t spoken much to each other.
And the instigator of all this was none other than the pig, which had insisted on getting its own seat.
Fu Yunhe withdrew his gaze and sat back comfortably; getting anxious wouldn’t help as there was still ti.
After about five hours, Fu Yunhe woke Nian Shutong.
“What’s up?”
By the clock, they still had a ten-hour journey ahead of them.
By then, Fu Yunhe had switched places with Dou Dou, with Little Pink Pig lying on the edge, alert.
Nian Shutong promptly scanned the area with her Divine Sense but detected nothing amiss. She looked at Fu Yunhe trustingly, waiting for him to speak.
“There’s no imdiate danger, but the region ahead is a gathering area for Star Thieves. There are nurous wormholes, which are convenient for their escape yet it’s also a traffic hub, unavoidable.”
Nian Shutong sat up straight, looking out the window. Fu Yunhe was pointing at sothing outside on the window.
“Those blinking rings of light, at any second, a Star Thief ship might erge from one. No one can be certain.”
“Got it.”
Nian Shutong felt that staying awake was the greatest respect she could show these Star Thieves.
“Dou Dou, hold onto Little Pink Pig.”
“Silver, co down.”
Silver, who had been perched on Nian Shutong’s head, slid down and curled up in her palm.
She grabbed one of Fu Yunhe’s hands without looking up and said, “Even if you don’t like it, you’ll have to endure.”
“I understand, it’s an honor.”
After having seen Silver’s true form, Fu Yunhe wouldn’t dare to express dislike.
Silver gave Fu Yunhe a look that seed to say “you know your place,” then obediently lay on Fu Yunhe’s wrist, pretending to be a bracelet.
Fu Yunhe’s wrist hovered aimlessly above the armrest, never daring to rest it down.
Nian Shutong saw this and didn’t comnt; it could stay like that for the ti being.
She then took a little white mouse from her pocket and handed it to Dou Dou.
“Dou Dou, let Xiao Bai stay in your pocket.”
“Oh, okay, Auntie.”
Dou Dou had no clue about the situation and simply thought about guarding the little white mouse for her aunt.
Caught in the middle, Fu Yunhe couldn’t even bring himself to look at the little white mouse directly anymore. Moreover, he wondered, when had another one appeared?
After making all the necessary arrangents, Nian Shutong felt nothing else to worry about. As long as the people beside her were safe, nothing else mattered.
She continued to rest with her eyes closed, and in her Divine Sense, she issued a strict order to the three zodiac animals to protect the two humans.
Just as the starship was about to leave the region, a ship decorated with a bovine skull suddenly appeared through a wormhole.
“Ah… they’ve finally co.”
For a mont, Fu Yunhe felt so sympathy for these Star Thieves; they were just unlucky.
As soon as the Star Thieves ship erged, the manned starship imdiately opened fire, launching explosives and firing laser guns incessantly at the thieves. But the Star Thieves were experienced too. The first ship that appeared was rely a decoy.
Then, another starship appeared behind the manned starship, and a stream of small flying devices ca pouring out, nimbly dodging until eventually, one reached the starship’s door.
“Boom—”
The door opened.
