Chapter 180: Chapter 181: Going Home
Nian Shutong and Fu Yunhe observed the crowd on the Starship as they traveled.
At this moment, the Starship housed a total of three hundred sixty-nine people, besides the two of them, including a mother and son who had taken the wrong path and boarded the wrong Starship. There were about a hundred families, and of course, some were traveling alone.
The journey involved several jumps and would take about nine hours. Everyone on the Starship drank nutrient liquid, even Fu Yunhe had a bottle.
Little Douding grimaced as he watched Fu Yunhe finish his drink. It seemed as though he had drunk the bottle himself, finding it extremely distasteful.
Already finding the drink unpalatable, Fu Yunhe now found it even more so.
“Uncle, it’s not tasty.”
Fu Yunhe merely smiled kindly and didn’t respond.
Little Douding didn’t fuss but turned his head, lay back on his chair, snuggled up to his mother’s arm, and fell asleep.
Fu Yunhe then took out another bottle of nutrient liquid and offered it to Nian Shutong.
Nian Shutong shook her head indicating she didn’t want it.
She truly wasn’t hungry. Being at the level of Golden Core, she could practice Fasting, but in this life, she simply chose not to.
Fu Yunhe looked worryingly at her a couple of times but felt that Nian Shutong wasn’t the type to wrong herself and eventually he put away the nutrient liquid.
Nian Shutong turned her head to look at Fu Yunhe but did not comply by opening her mouth.
Fu Yunhe, unfazed, opened his palm to reveal an amber-colored piece of maltose sitting there.
“Thank you,” Nian Shutong softly expressed her gratitude, picking up the maltose while slightly lifting her bowed head.
“I’ll eat it myself.”
Fu Yunhe figured that Nian Shutong didn’t like being fed by others but trusted him enough to eat it immediately.
What he didn’t know was that Nian Shutong was completely unafraid of poison.
To her, what mattered was the taste.
It must be said, this was a beautiful misunderstanding.
Yet, more foolishly, Fu Yunhe continued on the path to becoming soulmates, pressing forward continuously.
Nine hours later, the Starship reached the closest Transfer Station to the Blue Star, and everyone disembarked to make their own way to the Blue Star.
The first piece of recruitment information required everyone to reach the Blue Star on their own.
It served as a simple screening process.
Nian Shutong and Fu Yunhe also descended from the Starship; they still had their Flying Device stored here.
As they were about to leave, the very same Little Douding, holding his mother’s hand, came over again.
“Uncle, Auntie, my mom has a Flying Device.”
Was this an invitation to join them?
“No need, no need, thank you.”
Nian Shutong kept declining and pulled Fu Yunhe toward a different direction.
Left behind, Little Douding looked vexed at his mother.
“Mom, Doudou isn’t cute anymore.”
“That’s not true, Doudou, how could you not be cute when you’re so plump?”
Little Douding blinked, feeling unconsoled.
The woman, however, happily held Little Douding’s hand, and with a wave, a Shadowless model Flying Device appeared before them.
“Doudou, let’s hurry! We’re going to the Blue Star.”
“Mom, what does the Blue Star look like?”
“The Blue Star should be all blue.”
“Ah… then Doudou doesn’t want to turn blue.”
“No! We’ll both turn blue together; it’ll be perfect.”
The mother and son boarded the Shadowless series, which Nian Shutong couldn’t afford, and swiftly disappeared.
On the other side, Nian Shutong and Fu Yunhe found their Flying Device and leisurely headed towards the Blue Star.
The two people inside the flying device had changed back into their own appearances, and also changed into better clothes.
Of course, by better clothes, it meant clothes without holes, clean clothes.
“We’ll be busy once we get back.”
Nian Shutong thought about arranging things for over three hundred people and harvesting crops; indeed, there was a lot to do.
“Indeed, but you’ll be able to farm more.”
Nian Shutong looked at Fu Yunhe with a deep sense of relief and said, “Little River Beauty, I find that your speech is becoming more and more pleasing to my heart.”
“Ha Ha … there always has to be progress.”
The atmosphere between them had improved much more than before they had left.
Nian Shutong: We are friends now.
Fu Yunhe: It feels like we are best friends now.
When the two were still flying, or rather just as they had boarded the flying device, the first wave of people had already arrived at the small wooden house.
A beautiful mother and son were piloting Shadowless and reached Blue Star in a few minutes.
Their landing spot was right beside the stream near the small wooden house, and they did not damage any crops or vegetables.
The people at the small wooden house immediately went on alert, Zhang Hui holding Xiaoxiao, standing in front of the house, Rubble with two robots, shielding themselves, also came forward.
Ha Ha ran from the wasteland, sprinting toward them.
At that moment, Ha Ha, with a stern face, stood in front of everyone.
Nian Shutong had said, he was responsible for keeping the house secure.
“Mom, aren’t they blue?”
“How strange, then why is it called Blue Star?” the woman wondered, unable to comprehend.
Seeing that no one paid attention to his previous question, Ha Ha asked again, “Who are you? What are you here for?”
“My name is Ji Sisi, and this is my son Ji Doudou.”
“We are here to work.”
Ji Sisi uttered the last sentence with little confidence, her face flushed, eyes darting around.
Little Douding was also extremely worried.
Mom, we can’t lie, so let’s not even try. Anyone with eyes could see you are lying.
Just as Little Douding was trying to act cute to slip through, Ha Ha from across spoke up.
“People who want to work need to wait for Nian Shutong, the great kind soul, to come back. You guys wait.”
That was also why he insisted on staying with his mother; she was too laid-back.
Just as everyone was waiting, Nian Shutong returned.
