Chapter 718: Chapter 720 Aunt Mei Causes Trouble
Aunt Mei appeared.
However, her entrance made Nian Shutong inside the Shadowless purse her lips and cringe.
Within the surrounding circle, there was the latest model of Flying Device, its exterior specially spray-painted and studded in a way that caught everyone’s eye—though not in a vulgar manner, showing a certain level of craftsmanship.
The door of the Flying Device opened, and out came several dozen small Flying Machines.
Above each device unfolded a panel about one meter square, seamlessly connecting in the void to form a flat surface.
But that wasn’t all. Immediately after, everyone saw a piece of priceless white silk thrown from the doorway, rolling out and flatly laid on this piece of aerial land in front of the Flying Device.
"Make do with it."
Aunt Mei’s distinctive voice sounded as a jade foot stepped onto the white silk, and for a moment, it was hard to discern which was silkier.
"I had to rush out, didn’t have time to prepare a carpet."
Aunt Mei uttered words that almost made Nian Shutong stick out her tongue, finally stepping out of the Flying Device.
Nian Shutong thought to herself: She could have finished a fight in this amount of time!
Exiting the Flying Device, Aunt Mei was in a loose silk gown, unadorned but full of charm, paired with her flowing long hair that lent her an enchanting aura, causing many around her to blush.
But no one dared to make a move, for the woman before them was an SSS-class big shot, rumored to be of the highest peak level and seemingly possessed some kind of superpower.
In short, she was not to be trifled with.
"Sorry for the intrusion, I have a bit of business with this young lady."
Having finished speaking, Aunt Mei looked at the unresponsive crowd, as if unclear on something, and asked, "Does everyone want to listen in on a private conversation between two ladies?"
One sentence, along with Aunt Mei’s non-threatening gaze—so calm, yet many still backed away, leaving only a few who were undeterred.
Could Aunt Mei really stay with her always?
"Girl, I would like to go back home with you. Do you welcome me or not?"
Nian Shutong showed no reaction, but the few remaining people behind her lost their composure, suppressing their emotions, frowning as they looked at Aunt Mei.
Impressive! You’re really something! You actually can follow her!
The sound of metaphorical face-slapping came swiftly.
A few more of those standing behind retreated, for they had realized something: Aunt Mei might not go with her, but the intent to protect was quite clear.
Only three people remained in the encirclement.
However, these three had all backed off several steps, their intention not to fight clear—they were merely curious.
"Girl, what do you think?"
Aunt Mei asked again, her interest piqued by Nian Shutong’s teardrop-shaped mole, and her appearance, although not like her sister’s, resembled her brother-in-law’s to some extent.
If she didn’t figure out what was going on, Aunt Mei would not be able to eat or sleep well.
Inside the Shadowless, Nian Shutong pressed a button, and through the external loudspeakers came a voice low in pitch, but resolute and commanding in a way that brooked no refusal.
"Not very well, not welcome, out of the way."
Aunt Mei, faced with the Shadowless’, wasn’t angry; in fact, she was secretly delighted.
This little temper is so much like her sister!
Absolutely adorable!
"Alright, alright, I’ll get out of the way, but the road is so wide, you can’t control where I go, can you?"
Aunt Mei said she would get out of the way and indeed did so, but her words implied she was determined to follow.
"Fine, let’s try that."
Nian Shutong piloted the Shadowless, climbing straight up, the technique she had used during her first flight of the Shadowless reemerging. As she zigzagged and maneuvered, she had already put a great distance between herself and those behind her.
In the Flying Machine behind, it was Ye Zi who was piloting all along, and her skills were definitely impressive, as she had not lost track of them.
The few who had been left behind, as well as those who had not truly retreated, watched the two Flying Devices disappear with a sense of helplessness, giving up the pursuit.
Aunt Mei had indeed followed, so they, too, had no choice but to abandon the chase.
Having traveled far, Nian Shutong constantly kept an eye on Aunt Mei who was trailing her. She probably knew what this person was here for, but she did not like her attitude.
In the next second, Shadowless abruptly stopped in its tracks, and Nian Shutong walked out from the Shadowless, levitating in the air without relying on any machinery.
In the Flying Device behind, Aunt Mei had just prepared to go down to talk with Nian Shutong, but the Shadowless before their eyes disappeared in a blink of an eye, tucked away by Nian Shutong.
"Foolishness!" Aunt Mei, anxious, was about to rush out, but as soon as she opened the hatch of the Flying Device, she only managed to catch a glimpse of Nian Shutong’s provocative smile before she disappeared on the spot.
Like a bubble, glistening in the sunlight one second, and bursting out of existence the next.
"Little brat!"
Aunt Mei looked around hurriedly, a bit of sweat appearing on her forehead with anxiety. If it turned out that Shutong truly was her sister’s daughter, what then?
Sadly, no matter how much Aunt Mei called out or tried to reason, there was no response in the void.
"Aunt Mei, it seems she really has left," Ye Zi stopped the Flying Machine and walked to the hatch, standing beside Aunt Mei.
"But how did she leave?"
Indeed, how did she leave?
No one could travel through the void with their bodies alone; the off-the-charts radiation was unbearable for most, not to mention the issue of not being able to fly.
Could it be?
Aunt Mei, thinking of her own superpower, wondered if the little brat had a superpower too?
But even with a superpower, one should not act like this; the dangers in the void were completely unpredictable.
Still worried, Aunt Mei retreated back into the Flying Device but turned to Ye Zi and asked, "Which Transfer Station did you encounter them?"
"Third District."
"The area of the Third District is too vast; she could have gone anywhere." Aunt Mei could not break her own rules and pursue the guests of the Floating Star.
"We’ll go to the Third District, and I refuse to believe that I won’t be able to wait for her."
Aunt Mei looked out the window into the nothingness, seeing nothing at all.
The temperament of this brat was really similar to that of her sister.
As Aunt Mei’s Flying Device departed, about five minutes later, a ripple flickered in a spot of space, and Nian Shutong’s figure appeared.
Those who practice Cultivation have a plethora of means at their disposal.
"An old acquaintance? Could it be related to the original owner’s background?"
Nian Shutong was uncertain, but for the moment, she did not want to catch up. She knew where she could find Aunt Mei; she had the initiative.
For now, she decided to return to the Blue Star first.
Nian Shutong took out her Shadowless again, reached the Transfer Station in the Seventh District, changed her appearance to avoid being found by Aunt Mei, boarded a Super Starship, and headed back to the Blue Star.
At this time, Blue Star was not at peace either. Lian Qing had returned to the Blue Star ahead of her, but soon after his arrival, an unexpected group of people also arrived.
