Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 279 Meeting
After passing through the giant complex, Ning Xuan was overwhelmed by the variety of buildings that kept appearing in front of her.

Even though she was in space, it felt like she had entered a bustling city.

"Ahead is our base, Miss Ning. Look, that tall furnace standing in the very center is the energy reactor that provides energy for the entire base. All the buildings and our defensive shields in the base are powered by that furnace."

"How was this smooth surface on the ground formed? It doesn't seem like a solid object to me."

"Well, I'm not quite sure either." Leng Yue was stumped by the question.

Fortunately, Ning Xuan didn't insist on asking further questions. Afterwards, Leng Yue took Ning Xuan on a tour of the base.

"This is the area where the soldiers rest after battle. They play games to pass the time when they're bored and release some stress."

"This is the hospital. The building behind the hospital is the Black Tower, which is specifically for housing warriors whose mental energy has surged or whose mutation has gone out of control and who have lost their minds."

"This is a plantation, managed by dozens of plant-type spirit controllers. The main plant they grow is Jade Green Grass, which is the primary source of plant nutrients when making energy bars."

“This is…” Leng Yue introduced the locations of some of the main areas within the base to Ning Xuan one by one.

Finally, they stopped in front of a magnificent complex of tall buildings not far from the energy reactor. After the starship came to a stop, Leng Yue got out first and reached out to help Ning Xuan.

Ning Xuan, supported by Leng Yue, stepped off the starship. Outside, two rows of soldiers in combat uniforms stood up straight, turned around, saluted Ning Xuan, and shouted in unison, "Welcome, Miss Ning, to the battlefield of the Myriad Meteor Starfield."

Ning Xuan looked up at the tall building complex. On the outermost gate, there were two large characters: "Military Headquarters." Next to it was a sign with four large characters: "No Entry."

Ning Xuan had been cooped up in the cramped starship the whole way and was already feeling suffocated. Arriving at this technologically advanced space base, everything seemed new and exciting to her.

Leng Yue wanted to invite Ning Xuan to the military headquarters to rest and wait for Ying Shuai to return. Once Ying Shuai returned, he would hand Ning Xuan over to him, and his mission would be complete.

However, Ning Xuan had been holding back her frustration for so long that her patience had long since run out. Now that she was at the base, how could she possibly listen to Leng Yue's orders?

Ning Xuan didn't even enter the military headquarters; she slipped away to the trading market closest to it.

Ning Xuan arrived at the trading market with great interest. As soon as she appeared, she immediately attracted many prying eyes, both openly and secretly.

In this space base, 99.99% of the people are male, and the one in ten thousand women are either plant-type spirit controllers in the planting base or healing-type spirit controllers in the hospital.

Regardless of the type, they are all very prestigious.

Ning Xuan noticed someone spying on her and immediately looked over. The person hurriedly lowered their head, looking panicked.

“Miss Ning, whatever you want, the Marshal can find it for you. There’s really nothing in this market, it’s all…” Leng Yue followed Ning Xuan, trying to persuade her to leave.

"What is this?" Ning Xuan asked, picking up a black object as she approached the stall of the person who had been spying on her.

"The skull of the wormhole monster Cerberus," the stall owner said somewhat timidly. "How much? Is it for star gold or barter? I see your mental energy is agitated; I'll trade you a mental energy calming potion, okay?" Ning Xuan asked.

"Change it." The stall owner nodded vigorously, never expecting such a good thing to happen.

He had picked up the Cerberus skull on the battlefield to play with; it wasn't worth much in this base. Unexpectedly, this woman was willing to exchange it for a calming potion.

Leng Yue was about to speak when Ning Xuan stopped her with a wave of her hand. She took out a bottle of blue potion from her spatial storage, handed it to the stall owner, and put the black, semi-circular three-headed dog skull into her spatial storage.

Afterwards, Ning Xuan continued to browse. She carried many potions with her, especially mental calming potions and mutation value removal potions.

In the time that followed, Leng Yue watched numbly as Ning Xuan used bottle after bottle of potions to exchange for a bunch of things that he considered useless, including bones and teeth of various strange beasts, skin, wings, feathers and other things from star beasts.

Ning Xuan's actions in the trading market quickly spread throughout the entire base. The soldiers on rest at the base rushed over after hearing the news. Everyone had one or two pieces of alien beast materials they had picked up from the battlefield. If they couldn't exchange them for potions, they would give the materials to that young lady.

Just as more and more people were gathering in the trading market, Leng Yue finally received news that Ying Shuai had returned.

Leng Yue sent the message about Ning Xuan's location in the trading market to Ying Shuai. As a result, Ying Yaoshi, who had just returned from the battlefield and hadn't even had time to change out of his battle robes, met Ning Xuan at the trading market.

As soon as Ying Yaoshi appeared, the officers and soldiers who were not originally around Ning Xuan scattered in all directions.

Looking at the young girl in front of him, who had grown taller and more beautiful, and was even more dazzling, Ying Yaoshi felt an indescribable excitement.

Although we've met many times in video calls, the feeling of facing the real person is still different.

Ying Yaoshi raised his hand and gently stroked his chest, then bent down slightly towards Ning Xuan. He then strode over to Ning Xuan and picked her up in his arms.

Ying Yaoshi wanted to hide Ning Xuan and didn't want anyone else to see her.

"What are you doing? Put me down." Ning Xuan was hugged by Ying Yaoshi, and her soft body pressed against his hard armor, a feeling that made Ning Xuan very uncomfortable.

Wearing armor, Ying Yaoshi was like a child who had finally obtained a treasure. He stubbornly refused to let go and carried Ning Xuan forward. The silver eagle emblem on the hem of his cloak brushed against the back of Ning Xuan's hand, and her hand immediately turned red.

"I said let go, let me down." Ning Xuan angrily grabbed Ying Yaoshi's hair.

"Be good, there are so many people watching, give me some face." Ying Yaoshi took Ning Xuan's mischievous hand and whispered in her ear.

Ning Xuan turned her head angrily and snorted coldly.

Ying Yaoshi carried Ning Xuan away very quickly. Ning Xuan didn't even have time to see what route he was taking before they entered Ying Yaoshi's private area.

Ying Yaoshi took Ning Xuan directly to his residence. "Xuanxuan, I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes. Wait for me here for a while."

Ying Yaoshi secretly wished he could take Ning Xuan to bathe and change clothes with her, but he could tell that Ning Xuan had a lot of resentment towards him at the moment. If he made this request, it would only increase Ning Xuan's dislike for him. If he completely angered Ning Xuan, he would definitely not have a good life in the future.
