Because she hadn’t planned to bring Yu Guo along, she hadn’t booked a ticket in advance. Consequently, it was challenging for her to purchase a child’s spaceship ticket for Yu Guo at present.
“See you on the capital planet.”
Not long after seeing off Yu Ni and Yu Guo, Zhou Ling informed her that the spaceship meant to pick them up had arrived. Therefore, Liao Ning followed him and boarded the flying car they had previously rented. Ten minutes later, the three of them reached the location where the spaceship was parked.
Liao Ning glanced at the words “Planet Mu Military Division” above the entrance and skeptically asked Zhou Ling, “Could it be a warship that came to collect us?
Zhou Ling nodded and directed his face towards the facial recognition system positioned outside the military district. Soon, the system verified his identity, and a robotic voice echoed, “Honorable Colonel Zhou Ling, welcome to the military division of Planet Mu.”
The door opened, allowing Zhou Ling to drive the flying car directly towards the military starship field.
As a tourist planet situated far from the battlefront, Planet Mu’s military division was comparatively smaller than those of other planets. Nevertheless, even with that in mind, it took Zhou Ling six minutes to reach the starship field within the military division after driving the flying car inside.
Hundreds of battleships of different sizes were parked on the starship field, but the most striking one was a silver-white battleship. Liao Ning was uncertain of the material from which it was constructed, but she perceived a cold, brilliant sheen emanating from it, giving it a commanding presence.
Noticing Liao Ning’s gaze, Zhou Ling introduced her, saying, “This is The Silver. Three years ago, my brother and I led our troops in defeating the Zergs, who invaded the Alliance’s territory using a black hole. The military rewarded us with a battleshiD.”
At the mention of his brother, Zhou Ling’s eyes dimmed. “It was after that battle that my brother and his wife vanished. I’ve been searching for their whereabouts, but unfortunately…”
Liao Ning gently patted his arm. “You have me now. I’ll help you find them.”
“Colonel Zhou!”
Zhou Ling helped Liao Nai out of the flying car, and a young officer immediately saluted him.
Zhou Ling returned the gesture. “Thank you for your hard work.”
“Not at all. I consider myself lucky to have the renowned Colonel Zhou here. The other comrades are so envious!” The young officer smiled, revealing his pristine white teeth.
Liao Ning couldn’t help but glance sideways and inwardly admire the young man’s dental hygiene.
“Please follow me. I’ll take you to meet your subordinates.”
Zhou Ling nodded. “Thank you.”
After a few steps, Liao Ning noticed several figures rushing toward them. As they approached, she recognized them as a group of young individuals dressed in military uniforms. The tall guy she had seen at the pet shop was among them.
“Boss!” The boy with black hair, black eyes, and a youthful face was the first to speak. He looked at Zhou Ling with teary eyes. “Boss, I was really worried when you went missing. Thank goodness you’re alive!”
Liao Ning suppressed her laughter. She knew he was genuinely concerned about Zhou Ling, but was it really appropriate to wish death upon him right away?
When Zhou Ling noticed Liao Ning holding back her laughter, he felt slightly embarrassed to have such a subordinate. He put on a serious expression and said, “Do you think you resemble a soldier? You’re already in your twenties, yet you behave so unruly all the time. Someone who doesn’t know might mistake you for a fresh recruit. Mind your manners!”
The boy restrained himself a bit upon seeing his boss’s stern expression, but Liao Ning felt that he hadn’t fully taken the message to heart.
Gao Dian approached. “Miss Liao Ning, it’s been a while. I should address you as sister-in-law now.”
A playful tone laced Gao Dian’s voice, successfully redirecting the boy’s attention to Liao Ning. The boy scrutinized Liao Ning in astonishment, making her feel like some kind of unfamiliar creature.
Sensing his boss’s icy glare, Gao Dian swiftly nudged the mentally unstable boy. “Address her as sister-in-law.”
“Hello, Sister-in-law. My name is Zhang Shuai. I’m a soldier under Boss!” Zhang Shuai saluted Liao Ning with a solemn expression.
Liao Ning appreciated Zhang Shuai’s character and returned his greeting with a smile. “Hello!”
At that moment, Zhang Shuai noticed the wolf cub in Liao Ning’s arms. His eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the cub. He exclaimed, surprised, “This… Isn’t this Boss and Sister-in-law’s…”
Gao Dian swiftly covered Zhang Shuai’s mouth, preventing him from saying anything further.
Zhang Shuai didn’t understand why Gao Dian had covered his mouth. He hadn’t uttered anything seditious. What was going on?
Struggling free from Gao Dian’s grip, Zhang Shuai turned to Zhou Ling, seeking help with his innocent gaze..
