Lin Fu was startled, not because a sphere had scared her but afraid someone had silently tampered with her things. What if the person who placed the object there wanted her dead? Wouldn’t that put her life in jeopardy?
"What are you? Why are you in my bag?"
The blue Little Round Ball looked down at her with disdain.
"Say that again." Lin Fu pretended to be fierce, raising her fist to strike the Little Round Ball, which scared it into immediately flying up and darting around the room in an attempt to evade her, turning the already small room into chaos.
"You can’t catch me, you can’t catch me..." it taunted gleefully as it flew.
Lin Fu was so angry her face turned green.
"Alright, so you say I can’t catch you?" Her expression sobered up, and her Essence Power surged wildly, filling the room in an instant and making escape impossible for the Little Round Ball. The weight of her spiritual power, like a mountain, pressed down on it, crushing it to the floor with a smack.
Lin Fu stepped forward and pinned it down with her foot, and the Little Round Ball showed a painfully humiliated human-like expression.
"Dare to be arrogant now?"
"I dare not, I will never dare again! You tyrant woman, you’re even more brutal than Fu Xing. At most, he would use spiritual power to cage me, but you’ve pressed me to the ground and stepped on me. You’re a villain, a big villain."
Lin Fu, annoyed by the noise, massaged her temples. "So, was it Fu Xing who put you in my bag?"
"Who else could it be?" Blue Star retorted irritably.
"Then you are..." Lin Fu took another close look at the Little Round Ball, and to her amazement, she recognized the patterns and lines on its surface, especially when her gaze fixed on a rooster pattern, her eyes welling up with tears.
"This is... this is Ancient Earth." She could hardly believe what she was seeing.
The geographical landscape of Earth during the interstellar era had long since changed, and satellite images were different from those three thousand years ago. Lin Fu had seen many photographs and videos of the current Earth, but she could no longer find a trace of familiarity in them.
Their utter strangeness even caused her to doubt her memories, wondering if they were wrong or illusory.
It made her feel incredibly lonely during quiet nights when she was alone.
"You’ve got a good eye." Blue Star was somewhat satisfied. "There aren’t many in the interstellar era who can recognize Ancient Earth at a glance. You’re not bad."
"Of course, I recognize it." Lin Fu said, her voice distant, as she gently touched the rooster pattern with a tender look in her eyes.
Being touched by Lin Fu gave Blue Star goosebumps, and it displayed a human-like expression of disgust. "Don’t touch me like that; do you know it’s quite perverted?"
Lin Fu immediately withdrew her hand, suddenly feeling a bit embarrassed.
Seeing her reaction, Blue Star couldn’t bring itself to keep on pretending to be upset, mainly because it had been frightened by Lin Fu’s spiritual power a moment ago. It knew before coming that Fu Xing had not lied to it; the Lady truly possessed strong spiritual power and was qualified to use it.
"Cough cough... I am Blue Star, Fu Xing sent me to you."
Fu Xing had given her Blue Star, and a faint smile played at the corners of Lin Fu’s mouth. He would never understand how much Blue Star meant to her.
For that, she would do anything for Fu Xing.
"I understand now, Fu Xing introduced you to me before. He said you’ve been in a deep slumber."
"Lady Meili was too troublesome, always bothering me. Oh! By the way, the previous Lady was also annoying, and the one before her wasn’t troublesome but was a weakling; she couldn’t harness my power with her insufficient spiritual power."
Speaking of the successive matrons of the Fu Family, Blue Star had plenty to say, with a never-ending stream of complaints, leaving Lin Fu utterly agape.
