How Have You Been?
Meanwhile, while the group on one side was having a great time, Bai Luoming on the other side was in a terrible situation.
The Stellaron Hunters, carrying the infant-like Bai Luoming, flew past planet after planet in their spaceship, heading into the distance.
Kafka kept groping around Bai Luoming, eventually finding some trinkets on his body. She placed them one by one into a specially made little box in her hand. After hesitating for a moment, she finally put Bai Luoming's Jade Abacus into his pocket.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this genius's possessiveness is really high. So many things, most of them have locators."
Kafka put away the box in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally handed Bai Luoming over to Firefly who was standing to the side.
Seeing this, Firefly took Bai Luoming in her arms and hugged him tightly. She looked at Bai Luoming and reached out to press the back of his neck, gently pressing the spot she had struck to knock Bai Luoming unconscious.
Seeing Firefly's behavior, Kafka felt a sudden surge of irritation, but she quickly suppressed it and said to Blade, who was piloting the spaceship, "Alright, Blade, let's turn back and head home now."
Blade glanced at Kafka, said nothing, and simply turned the ship around, heading towards the location of the Stellaron Hunters' base.
For some reason, when Ren looked at Bai Luoming, he felt a sense of familiarity, a feeling that lingered in his heart like a leech.
Kafka, observing Blade's reaction, leaned against the spaceship wall, a smirk playing on her lips, and asked, "What's wrong Blade?"
Blade shook his head and simply addressed the people inside the spaceship, saying, "It's nothing. We're preparing for the jump. Stand still."
Upon hearing this, Kafka nodded slightly in response to Blade, then looked at Firefly with elegant manners.
"Baby, aren't you going to put him down? We're about to jump."
Upon hearing Kafka's words, Firefly's gaze lingered on Bai Luoming's handsome face. After a moment of silence, she nodded, picked up Bai Luoming, and found a place to sit down, still holding him tightly without letting go.
"Sigh, you really are..."
Kafka sighed softly, feeling somewhat helpless towards Firefly, and could only find a seat and sit down by herself.
Seeing that the two were ready, Blade did not hesitate any longer and immediately pressed the jump button.
With the movement of the blade, the spaceship vanished from the spot like a streak of light with a "whoosh".
Not long after the group left, an aircraft appeared at an extremely fast speed. Herta frowned, looking at the empty surroundings with a gloomy expression.
"His location is right here, he can't have gone far!"
Having said that, Herta piloted his aircraft and began a thorough search.
Blade piloted the spaceship and soon arrived at a tourist star system under the company's jurisdiction. Their base was located on a planet in this star system.
The environment here is beautiful, prices are not high, and the produce is relatively abundant. As long as you keep your identity hidden, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Even when you occasionally run out of funds, it's convenient to earn them here. As for how you earn them, that's none of your business.
Blade piloted the spaceship to the airspace above a large villa. He circled the spaceship for a moment before landing directly on the helipad below.
This rather luxuriously decorated villa is the Stellaron Hunters' base here.
After Ren brought the spaceship to a stop, the hatch slowly opened as plumes of steam billowed out. Without even glancing at the others, he jumped straight off the spaceship.
"Oh dear, Blade, he's so careless."
As she spoke, Kafka opened the auxiliary staircase of the spaceship and gracefully stepped down from it.
For a moment, only Firefly, who was holding Bai Luoming, remained inside the spaceship.
She looked down at Bai Luoming in her arms, feeling the atmosphere of just the two of them, and her heart surged with emotion.
Firefly pursed her lips, her body moving somewhat uncontrollably. She subconsciously moved closer to Bai Luoming's lips, but before Firefly could touch them, Kafka's voice came through.
"Alright, baby, hurry up and come out. Elio and the others are waiting."
Upon hearing Kafka's voice, Firefly trembled violently, like a startled rabbit or someone caught doing something wrong by their parents, a blush spreading from her neck to her cheeks.
Seeing that Firefly hadn't answered yet, Kafka asked again, "Is it inconvenient? Do you want me to help you?"
"Ah! No... it's nothing, I... I, I'm coming right now!"
Firefly startled voice came from inside the spaceship, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she carried Bai Luoming out of the spaceship.
Kafka, seeing the blush on Firefly's face, immediately understood what had happened. She chuckled softly and teased Firefly, "Looks like our little firefly's been up to no good in there."
"No, that's not true! I just... I just..."
The Firefly's voice grew fainter and fainter, clearly unsure how to explain its actions.
"Alright, hurry inside. It's quite windy outside; don't let your little lover catch a cold."
Kafka not only didn't back down, but her teasing expression became even more pronounced.
"Waaah..."
The Firefly let out a mournful cry, like a frightened little animal, and quickly fled from Kafka's sight, clutching Bai Luoming.
Kafka looked at Firefly and found it somewhat amusing. Sam, who was once so decisive and ruthless in the face of enemies, was now showing such a girlish demeanor.
Firefly carried Bai Luoming and tiptoed to the sofa in the living room, then carefully placed him on the sofa.
As soon as Bai Luoming touched the sofa, his brows began to furrow.
Seeing this, Firefly perhaps felt that the sofa was not comfortable enough, so she also sat on the sofa, crossed her soft legs, and carefully lifted Bai Luoming's head and placed him on her lap.
Then she gently raised her hand and stroked Bai Luoming's furrowed brows, slowly smoothing them out.
Kafka walked in and saw this scene, feeling both amused and exasperated. She said helplessly to Firefly, "Baby, he can't escape. You don't need to do this."
"It's okay, I'm fine like this."
"Okay, but please take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."
"I know..."
As Firefly responded to Kafka, she raised her hand and gently stroked Bai Luoming's cheek, her eyes and brows showing a clear smile.
"Sigh, I just can't do anything with you. I'll go call Elio first."
But before Kafka could make a move, a black cat emerged from the next room, gracefully stepping to stand beside Kafka.
Its tail was held high, and it raised its head to look at Kafka, saying, "Have you completed the mission?"
"It's done. I've also brought that guest back for you."
"Knew."
Having said that, it ignored Kafka and walked towards Bai Luoming, leaping lightly onto the sofa.
It looked at the unconscious Bai Luoming, tilted its head, and whispered to Bai Luoming, "Bai Luoming, how have you been?"
