The introduction is weak, let’s move on to the main text.

Chapter 25: Attacked upon Arrival

Inside the Starship cabin, Zhou Yuan looked at the gradually distorted starry sky outside the porthole, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the armrests of the seat.

This was his first time experiencing interstellar jump, and even his breathing became lighter with the hum of the engine.

"Envoy, please be prepared~"

Tingyun's voice carried the unique melodiousness of the fox people. She tapped the control panel with her fingertips, and the golden bells on the tips of her ears made crisp sounds with her movements.

"We are about to cross the star track rift."

Zhou Yuan withdrew his gaze from the starry sky and smiled at the fox girl who was looking at him curiously:

"Thank you, Miss Tingyun."

Before he finished speaking, the stars outside the porthole suddenly stretched into brilliant bands of light.

The entire cabin began to tremble slightly, and Tingyun's braids floated gently in the state of weightlessness, and the golden threads at the ends of her hair flowed like a galaxy in the blue light.

"The first jump may be a little uncomfortable~"

She handed over a crystal amber candy,

"It will be better if you hold this in your mouth."

When Zhou Yuan took the candy, he noticed a sly glint in her eyes.

It's like a scholar observing an experimental subject, or like an audience waiting for the show to begin.

"Please forgive me for being so talkative~"

The fox girl gently waved her folding fan, and the golden bells on the tips of her ears made tiny sounds with her movements.

Her amber fox eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a cunning gleam.

"The relationship between the envoy and the Grand Astrologer...seems unusual."

"Oh, huh?"

The luggage in Zhou Yuan's hands almost slipped.

He looked up in surprise, and met Tingyun's half-smiley eyes.

The gold-painted folding fan half-covered the corners of her upturned lips, but it could not hide the mischievous light in her eyes.

"Master Taibu gave me many instructions before he left~"

She deliberately dragged out the ending tone, and lightly touched the fan bone with her fingertips.

"I'll take good care of you. You're so considerate..."

The fan suddenly closed with a "swish".

"This is the first time I've seen this~"

"I think..."

Zhou Yuan's ears felt hot unconsciously, and his fingers unconsciously stroked the luggage straps.

"You might have made a mistake..."

"Yes yes yes~"

Tingyun nodded repeatedly, the gold ornaments in her hair jingling.

"It's all my fault for being so suspicious~"

But the cunning glint in her eyes clearly said:

I don't believe a word of it.

"Ugh..."

Zhou Yuan sighed helplessly.

..............................

The starship traveled smoothly through the vast sea of ​​stars, and the glittering nebulae outside the porthole flowed like silk.

Zhou Yuan had gradually adapted to the subtle dizziness brought about by the jump, and was now looking at the figure by the window that had suddenly become quiet.

The fox girl leaned against the viewing window, her folding fan resting quietly on her knees.

The golden bells on the tips of her ears stopped ringing, and she just stared blankly at the endless galaxy, with the starlight from billions of light years away reflected in her eyes.

The pair of fox ears that were always lively now drooped listlessly, making her look completely different from her previous charming and sweet appearance.

"It seems like everyone has their own story..."

After hesitating for a moment, he decided not to disturb his travel companion who was immersed in the past.

He withdrew his gaze and tapped his fingertips lightly in the air.

The translucent system interface immediately unfolded, and the long-lost chat box of the Mutual Aid Association of All Worlds flickered with light.

But it didn't take long.

The corners of Zhou Yuan's mouth began to twitch constantly, and the messages that kept popping up on the system interface made the veins on his forehead throb.

"Greedy Witch Echidna: You said, ever since the administrator went to Fu Xuan's world, these two have been lurking for so long, as if they've disappeared..."

"Echidna, the Greedy Witch: Are you doing something inappropriate for children? (￣▽￣*)ゞ"

"Ordinary schoolgirl Madoka Kaname: Um... it's not nice to talk about others like that... (whispering)"

"Gray Witch Irena: Don't worry, newbies, this guy's bad mouth is a daily routine (drinking tea.jpg)"

Zhou Yuan's fingertips fiercely stabbed into the air——

"Recorded by Zhou Yuan/Taibu Fuxuan: @Greedy Witch Echidna, shut up!"

Two identical messages popped up at the same time, even the punctuation was correct.

The group chat interface suddenly fell into a strange stillness, and even the witch who was refreshing the screen forgot to send emoticons.

Three seconds later.

"Echidna, the Greedy Witch: Look! What was I saying! This synchronization rate (smirk.jpg)"

"Ding! Group member 'Echidna, the Greedy Witch' has been muted by the administrator for 24 hours!"

Zhou Yuan held his forehead and sighed, but he didn't notice the suspicious blush on his ears reflected in the porthole.

At this moment, in a corner far away on Luofu, a certain fortune teller was burying his burning face in the star map.

"Your Excellency, we have arrived at the Black Tower Space Station!"

Tingyun's sweet voice called Zhou Yuan back from the group chat.

The fox girl had regained her sweet smile at some point, and the golden bells on her ears jingled as she stood up.

The two of them looked out the porthole together—

In the vast sea of ​​stars, a huge silver-white structure is slowly rotating.

The streamlined cabin reflected the light of the stars, and countless drones shuttled around it like a swarm of bees.

The most eye-catching thing is the huge circular structure in the center, inlaid with the iconic gear emblem of Lady Black Tower.

“It’s always shocking every time I see it~”

The tail of the ship swung gently, casting a swaying shadow on the porthole.

"It's said that the floor of the main control room is paved with antimatter."

Zhou Yuan unconsciously took half a step forward, his forehead almost touching the cold porthole.

This famous miracle in the sea of ​​​​stars is now flashing a welcome navigation signal, like a carefully crafted space gem.

--------

"Click——"

With a slight sound, the specially made star raft was steadily docked in the exclusive docking cabin.

The airtight door slowly opened, and Zhou Yuan followed Tingyun into this world-famous scientific research holy land.

The metal floor reflected the blue navigation lights on the ceiling, making the two figures look slender.

"The control room just sent a message, and the receptionist is on the way~"

Tingyun's fox ears trembled slightly, and the tip of its tail elegantly drew an arc.

“Although it will take a while…”

She shrugged helplessly and said,

"But this is already a feature of the Black Tower Space Station. All forces in the galaxy have become accustomed to it. Next, we..."

Just when Tingyun was about to continue speaking.

"boom--!!!"

A deafening explosion suddenly tore the silence apart!

The blinding red light instantly engulfed the corridor, and the alarm wailed so sharply it nearly pierced the eardrums:

"Warning! Antimatter Corps Invasion! All Personnel Evacuate Immediately!"

For a moment, Zhou Yuan and Ting Yun looked at each other, and the fox girl's smile froze on her face.

The golden bells on the tips of her ears were still trembling slightly due to the shock wave of the explosion, making a faint mournful sound.

"It seems..."

Tingyun smiled bitterly and unfolded his folding fan, covering half of his pale face.

"We have chosen a very exciting day for your visit, Your Excellency~"

At the end of the corridor, dark purple energy fluctuations can be vaguely seen.

That was a sign that the antimatter army was tearing space apart.

Chapter 26 Can I call you my benefactor now?

"Your Excellency..."

The folding fan in Tingyun's hand snapped shut, and his fox ears trembled uneasily.

"Forgive me for asking, but are you good at fighting?"

Her golden eyes sparkled with worry, and the tassels on her cuffs swayed slightly with her trembling fingers.

Zhou Yuan subconsciously pressed his chest——

The power of destiny that has never been used is surging there.

"It should be... okay, right?"

Before he finished speaking, Tingyun's tail had exploded into a fluffy ball of fur.

The girl half-hid her face with her folding fan, revealing a wry smile that said, "This is the end."

"Then... please do what you can..."

A sharp sound of metal tearing could be heard in the distance, and a dark purple energy torrent was approaching.

Tingyun took a deep breath and slipped out a few talismans from his sleeves:

"Although I am not good at attacking, I can still assist..."
