The servo skull will report everything that happens in the underground tunnel to Liu Qi to prove that Xiao Yi has indeed completed his mission.

The soldiers who were temporarily conscripted will return to where they belong; the nobles of Shangchao will never allow anyone to appear on their territory with a squad of fully armed soldiers.

After politely declining the invitation extended by the local nobles, Xiao Yi and his entourage boarded a train connecting the different capital cities.

It took ten days from leaving Starport to wiping out the Greenskins, with most of the time was wasted on traveling and scouting enemy positions.

If Liu Qi hadn't been wrong about the initial direction, Xiao Yi and his team could have solved the problem even faster.

The mission itself was not difficult, so none of the guards who came with Xiao Yi were injured or killed.

Compared to the intense warfare in Starport, this trip was no different from a vacation.

There was even a group of guys who genuinely thought so. They loudly discussed how the noble lady they had met before was even more beautiful, and where they should go to relax after they got back, showing absolutely no caution that a soldier should have.

"These guys have completely forgotten what military discipline is!" Charles slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and prepared to go to the back of the train to teach those yelling bastards what punishment was.

"A simple punishment will suffice; don't go too far. After being on edge for so long, it's easy for them to let loose when they suddenly relax."

Xiao Yi gave a brief reminder, then turned to look at the scenery rushing past outside.

The tunnel is built in mid-air, so you can clearly see everything in the wilderness through the train's windows.

The harmonious scenery outside brought him a rare moment of peace.

From the moment I transmigrated to the present, I've either been fighting or on my way to fight; there's hardly been a moment of rest.

Machines need maintenance too, let alone a human like Xiao Yi.

Unfortunately, there were still many things to deal with, otherwise he really wanted to stop and lie on the grass for two days.

This train is direct, with no stops in between, so it's very fast.

It only took half a day for Xiao Yi and his group to reach the final destination.

The governor's heir, who looked round and balloon-like, had been waiting at the station for a long time.

As Liu Yi's eldest son and the future ruler of Aurora, Liu Dan gives people a positive and peaceful feeling, and you won't feel any pressure standing in front of him.

But only those who have met him know that this carefully groomed heir is far more terrifying than he appears on the surface, and any servant who offends him will never have a second chance to make the same mistake.

"To be able to take care of those troublesome aliens in such a short time, no wonder he's someone Father values." Liu Dan looked at Xiao Yi through the car window and said to his younger brother beside him.

"Being able to fight proves nothing. Father is getting senile. He actually married his granddaughter to a usurper who appeared out of nowhere."

Liu Dan glanced at his younger brother and scolded him in a slightly angry tone: "Hmph, if we don't win this battle, you and I will both become the Xenomorph's minions, what a load of rubbish about noble blood."

"Only those bloodlines that can be preserved are truly noble; those that cannot, who cares?"

The aura emanating from Liu Dan caused everyone around him to subconsciously remain silent.

What lies beneath the rough skin is not fat, but highly refined muscle—the kind of muscle that could punch a hole in a person.

If someone with a problem opens their mouth now and offends him, things might not look good from here on out.

Perhaps we can live a little longer if there are guests here?

The train doors slowly opened, and Xiao Yi stepped out with Charles. Upon seeing the young man praised by his father, Liu Dan's gloomy expression instantly vanished, replaced by a happy one.

Two short legs, each less than a meter long, moved quickly.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed to Xiao Yi's side and grasped the other's hand.

"As expected of the hero who took down the green-skinned warlords, he completed the mission so quickly."

"I have already arranged a banquet in the main hall of the Governor's Mansion. All the nobles of Aurora will be attending. I'll take you to meet them."

As he spoke, Liu Dan, in a very familiar manner, grabbed Xiao Yi's arm and led him into the station.

Upon seeing this, the servants and guards blocking the way immediately and voluntarily made way for them.

The other party was so enthusiastic that Xiao Yi felt embarrassed to refuse, so he could only let him pull him onto an extremely retro-style carriage.

"Yingying happens to be here too, so you can take this opportunity to get to know her better. She is the smartest and most lovable of all my daughters."

"Many young noblemen remain unmarried to this day, waiting for her."

"Unfortunately, they have no chance left."

Faced with the extremely enthusiastic Liu Dan, Xiao Yi was momentarily at a loss for words and could only nod and say yes repeatedly.

This gave him the illusion of being in front of his own elders.

Xiao Yi knew very well that everything in front of him was an act put on by the other party.

Everything is for profit.

When dealing with these nobles, if you take it personally, you've already lost.

Xiao Yi used the arm that Liu Dan was tightly gripping to test the credibility of what he was saying. As expected, the test results were mostly false.

The real part, and the vast majority of it, is just meaningless nonsense.

The two chatted about everyday matters and then moved on to the situation in the nearby star system. As the future governor of Zhen Dan, Liu Dan also had some thoughts on the matter.

However, it was not easy to say this outright, so he could only test Xiao Yi's opinion indirectly.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yi, who was about to lose his temper, had no intention of paying attention to him. Apart from mechanically nodding in agreement, he pretended to be stupid.

This made the scene inside the carriage somewhat awkward.

Fortunately, the specially genetically modified draft horse was extremely fast and quickly brought the two of them to the gate of the governor's mansion.

The pre-arranged band immediately began to play music, and the red carpet stretched from inside the governor's mansion all the way to the carriage door. Even the most powerful generals returning victorious received only this kind of entourage.

It's clear that Liu Dan has given Xiao Yi plenty of face.

Under the watchful eyes of the nobles, the two walked side by side into the governor's mansion.

"Yingying is already waiting for you there."

As soon as he stepped across the threshold, Xiao Yi saw a figure that was extremely eye-catching.

Her simple attire seemed somewhat monotonous compared to the elaborate robes of the other nobles around her, but her perfect appearance presented a unique kind of beauty.

Xiao Yi's fiancée stood there quietly, waiting for him.

Why does it look somewhat familiar?

Have I seen her somewhere before?

Xiao Yi felt no joy at winning the prize. He frowned and carefully examined the other person.

If his memory serves him right, he must have seen that face somewhere before.

Wait, I remember now!
