Chapter 479 A Seventy-Year-Old Silver-Haired Beauty (Seeking monthly votes! Seeking further subscriptions!)

"Owner."

Just then, ASH's voice rang out in the control room, and a slender figure walked in.

Clearly, having broken free from the entanglement of Mana's initial consciousness, she also reconnected with the artificial human body in the outside world. After being reassembled, she began to take full control of the operation of the Lighthouse.

ASH paused, his eyes gleaming with the light of data, then looked up at Wu Xian, who was suspended in mid-air, and said softly:

"Yuekui is piloting the Swift and is expected to arrive at the lighthouse's route in 3 minutes and 16 seconds. Do you wish to continue?"

"Oh, they've already arrived?"

Wu Xian raised an eyebrow, then dispersed a portion of his spiritual power, which instantly spread throughout the entire Eurasian continent.

Ignoring the dense horde of Devouring Beasts that resembled a black torrent, Wu Xian quickly locked onto his target: a sleek, silver-white aircraft hurtling towards him at an exaggerated speed of ten times Mach.

Swift-ΩP
This is Bai Jingyu, Bai Yuekui's father, who modified the Swift, a new type of fighter jet made by the ASH FOR YOU Aviation Research Institute. Its surface uses a multi-layered composite protective layer made of reflective metal ceramics and fuller composite materials, making its defensive capabilities astonishing.

Meanwhile, the aircraft integrates a high-energy propulsion system and is equipped with state-of-the-art electronic countermeasures and network jamming equipment, as well as a multi-spectral stealth coating and active electromagnetic shielding system, which can effectively evade radar, infrared and space surveillance and achieve efficient stealth penetration.

Unfortunately, both ASH and Wu Xian had ways to easily detect the existence of the Swift, rendering all their stealth techniques useless.

Thinking of this, Wu Xian's mental energy penetrated the protective layer of the silver-white fighter jet. Looking at the silver-haired girl in the pilot's seat, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if he had thought of something interesting.

Comparing Charles and Mark's current ages, and considering that the story will officially begin in about twenty years, Mr. White must be around seventy years old by now.

Tsk tsk! It's truly an old woman suddenly feeling young again. I wonder what those transmigrators in their twenties who want to woo her are thinking. Are they trying to pull a big cart with a small horse?
Wow! That's so weird!

"ASH, stop the lighthouse from moving, then tell Bai Yuekui that the lighthouse welcomes her."

"Yes."

ASH nodded and said that the worry that had been in her heart had faded somewhat.

Immediately, the data stream in her eyes flashed rapidly, and in less than a nanosecond, she successfully hacked into the Swift system thousands of miles away and activated the automatic answering mode.

Don't be surprised at how easy it was; that's the value of super artificial intelligence.

Moreover, since the Swift was modified using ASH, it's only natural to leave one or two backdoor programs in the system.

"Hello, Yue Kui."

Inside the Swift's cockpit, Bai Yuekui, who had just felt like she was being spied on, was frowning. But upon hearing this somewhat unfamiliar voice, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, her tone unusually surprised.

"ASH? It really is you! You've woken up!"

"Yes, it's me."

ASH's voice softened: "You must have had a hard time these past few years... I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you needed help the most."

"...It's okay, I'm used to it, and I'm doing very well now."

Hearing ASH's caring words, which sounded like those of an elder, Bai Yuekui's expression became slightly dazed.

For many years, she had become accustomed to being the backbone and leader of the entire Dragonbone Village. Apart from Master Lai, with whom she would occasionally exchange information, no one had spoken to her in this tone for a long time.

The thought flashed through her mind, but Bai Yuekui forcibly suppressed it. Then she said with a serious expression, "ASH, now that you have awakened, you must have defeated the consciousness of the Mana Primordial Body. So now, do you want to obtain her memories and knowledge and find a way to destroy the Mana ecosystem?"

"I regret to inform you, Moon King, that I was able to awaken this time not because I defeated Mana's original form, but because of the help of another great being."

"Another...great being, is it the same as the higher-dimensional life behind the Mana ecosystem?" Bai Yuekui frowned deeply, a look of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"No, he is a human being, at least on the surface."

ASH hesitated slightly, but did not reveal Wu Xian's information. Instead, he changed the subject, saying, "In addition, that being is now my new master. He asked me to extend an invitation to you to come to the Lighthouse for a chat."

New owner...

Bai Yuekui's doubts and vigilance grew stronger, and he had an urge to turn around and leave immediately. However, when he thought of Dragon Bone Village and the rampaging Devouring Beasts on the ground, his hand holding the joystick tightened slightly, and he finally sighed.

"it is good."

……

Meanwhile, the lighthouse.

Since the city's defense forces resumed normal operations, they began organizing residents with repair skills to weld and repair the damaged parts of the lighthouse. They also spread the news that Lord Morgan had died and the Three Laws had been abolished, which finally calmed down the mortals who were trying to rebel.

Suddenly, a sharp whooshing sound rang out. Those on the outer edge of the lighthouse looked in the direction of the sound and saw a silvery-white light flying towards the lighthouse like lightning from afar.

Upon seeing this, the city defense soldiers on patrol raised their weapons, ready to attack at any moment.

But the next second, the voice of the acting city lord, their beloved commander-in-chief, Lord Red Heron, came through their communication headsets.

"Don't fire. They're guests of the lighthouse. Stay alert and let them in."

Guests at the lighthouse?
The city defense soldiers were puzzled, but they obeyed the order and laid down their weapons.

A moment later, a silvery-white light shot over and stopped abruptly about thirty meters from the lighthouse. The airflow exploded and blew in all directions, causing the city defense soldiers who were nearby to involuntarily take a slight step back.

The Swift hovered in mid-air, then slowly turned around, opened the rear cabin door, revealing the figure of a white-haired beauty with a large chest and long legs, holding a Tang sword.

"is her!"

When the veterans of the city defense army saw Bai Yuekui's appearance clearly, they were extremely surprised. They clearly recognized her as the white-haired woman who had returned to the Lighthouse with Lord Morgan years ago, and then suddenly had a conflict with him, almost wiping out the entire elite of the Hunters.

Bai Yuekui ignored the strange looks and instead glanced around at the huge floating lighthouse.

Ten years ago, she came here once, intending to reclaim her brother's body and discuss cooperating with Gray to deal with the Mana Ecosystem.

But the result was terrible; she fell into that guy's trap once again, and even the Abyss Armor was forcibly left on the lighthouse.

This matter had always bothered Bai Yuekui. He had been thinking of settling this score with the Lighthouse one day, but he never expected that day would come so much sooner than anticipated.

With a self-deprecating smile, Bai Yuekui pushed off with his feet and, to the astonishment of the city defense soldiers, leaped more than thirty meters and landed steadily on the deck of the lighthouse.

Just then, footsteps sounded ahead.

Then a woman with a beautiful face, but whose entire body seemed to be made of mechanical prosthetics, strolled towards them, and just like in the old days, smiled and said:
"Yue Kui, it's been a long time."

"Yes, it's been a long time. I have a lot to say to you."

Bai Yuekui also curled her lips, but then she looked at a certain spot in the lighthouse and said meaningfully, "However, before that, I have some grudges to settle."
