Battle Armor, Travel Destination: Star Luo!

Battle Armor, Travel Destination—Star Luo!

"Is this humanity's battle armor?"

She walked over to the mirror and looked at herself in it. The silver metal gleamed with a cold light under the illumination, while the battle armor's surface was engraved with intricate runes and patterns. These markings were not merely beautiful; they could also enhance control over the elements. Stimulated by Gu Yuena's Soul Power, they glowed faintly, as though they possessed life.

The helmet of the battle armor covered only her forehead like an ornament, revealing her bright eyes and straight nose, adding a touch of nobility and mystery to her appearance. Gu Yuena's body was snugly encased in the armor's breastplate, which was carved with intricate runes and patterns and exuded a mysterious aura.

The pauldrons were broad and sturdy, engraved with dragon patterns, as if two lifelike Silver Dragons were coiled upon her shoulders. Every scale of the dragon patterns was exquisitely detailed and shone with a cold gleam, making the pauldrons appear solemn and majestic.

Gu Yuena's arms and legs were tightly protected by the battle armor's plating. The armor had smooth lines and delicate openwork, reducing its weight while ensuring sufficient protection. Her fingers were shielded by soft yet resilient metal gloves, whose fingertips were exposed to make delicate movements easier. The gloves were also engraved with elemental formations, allowing her to manipulate the elements more conveniently and amplify the power of her elemental skills.

The battle armor's waist was cinched tightly by a slender metal belt, from which hung a small Soul Tool—the battle armor's control core. Its design was simple yet elegant, unadorned yet grand, while also displaying an inviolable majesty.

She quietly watched herself in the mirror. Accentuated by the battle armor, Gu Yuena's figure appeared even more slender and graceful.

A smile quietly appeared on her face. She turned and walked to the bookshelf, picking up a book about love.

She did not know whether her feelings for Chen Yan went beyond friendship, but for now, they were most likely still friendship!

It was just that this friendship was a little too possessive.

Woooo—

The ship's horn echoed through the empty harbor, startling a flock of seagulls into the air. They circled overhead with piercing cries, as if seeing off the ship that was about to set sail.

The massive Star Luo was constructed from a reflective metal that gleamed brilliantly beneath the sun, making it appear highly advanced. The patterns on its hull were intricate and refined—the emblem of the Star Luo Empire, signifying the ship's allegiance.

Gu Yuena and Chen Yan stood at the bow of the great ship, gazing out at the glittering sea. The sea breeze lifted Gu Yuena's long silver hair, gently brushing it across her cheeks and carrying with it the salty tang of the ocean.

Chen Yan stood beside her. After more than a month of hard work, he had successfully risen another level and become a level 34 Soul Elder. As he felt the dampness rising from the sea, his dark T-shirt fluttered gently in the wind, giving him an air of youthful vitality.

Neither of them spoke. They simply admired the scenery of the ocean in silence, feeling the sea breeze caress them.

The waves crashed against the hull with a rushing sound. The vast ocean stretched as far as the eye could see, while the soul beasts beneath its surface scattered one after another under the great ship's simulated aura.

The great ship pressed forward without pause, braving starlight and moonlight as it sailed straight for Star Luo!

"Ugh..."

Chen Yan leaned weakly against the wall, dry-heaving.

Damn it, I was raised by the river in my previous life, yet I got seasick in this one!

"Ugh..." Just as he thought that, another bout of dry-heaving hit him.

Knock, knock, knock—

Someone knocked on the door. Chen Yan staggered over and opened it.

Seeing Chen Yan's paper-white face, Gu Yuena's expression filled with concern. She quickly walked to his side and gently patted his back, trying to ease his discomfort.

"Chen Yan, are you all right?" Gu Yuena's voice was full of worry as her fingers lightly touched his forehead to check for signs of fever.

Chen Yan shook his head and forced out a weak smile. "I'm fine. I'm just a little seasick." His voice was slightly hoarse and feeble.

Gu Yuena frowned slightly. She knew Chen Yan had always been in excellent physical condition, and she had not expected him to get seasick. She swiftly took a small bottle from her Space Ring, opened it, and gently waved it beneath Chen Yan's nose, allowing the fragrance inside to disperse.

It was a specially made balm used to relieve seasickness. The scent was fresh and invigorating. Chen Yan took a deep breath and felt his mind clear a little, while the discomfort in his stomach eased considerably.

"Do you feel better?" Gu Yuena asked with concern. Her eyes were full of worry, though there was also a trace of tenderness that was difficult to notice.

Chen Yan nodded and gave Gu Yuena a grateful look. "Thank you, Gu Yuena." His voice was still somewhat weak, but he was clearly much better than before.

Gu Yuena smiled faintly. She knew Chen Yan did not need much comforting; what he needed was simply time and space to adjust to the feeling of seasickness. "I'll get you some water and crackers. Rest here for a while."

As Chen Yan watched Gu Yuena leave, warmth welled up in his heart. Having such a thoughtful friend was truly nice. She made him feel incredibly at ease—this was a kind of care he had never experienced before.

Late at night, Chen Yan lay in bed, tossing and turning as he adjusted his sleeping position. It was not until the middle of the night that he gradually fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Gu Yuena knocked on Chen Yan's door again.

"Morning." When he opened the door, Chen Yan's voice still carried a hint of sleepiness and hoarseness. He tried to make himself sound more energetic.

"Morning."

"How is it? Is your head still spinning?" Seeing Chen Yan's haggard face, Gu Yuena asked warmly.

"Much better."

"Then do you need me to bring you some food?" Gu Yuena's eyes were full of concern. Though she had never been seasick herself, she imagined it could not be pleasant. Moreover, she understood Chen Yan's personality—he did not like relying on others, even when he felt his worst.

Chen Yan shook his head slightly. Though his face was still pale, his voice was much stronger than it had been the night before. "No need. I'm already feeling much better. Thank you, Gu Yuena."

Gu Yuena puffed out her cheeks. She knew how stubborn Chen Yan was, but how could he recover without taking in any nutrition?

"You have to eat. Go back to your room and wait for me."

Gu Yuena's words were filled with determination and concern, her tone leaving no room for refusal. She knew Chen Yan was stubborn, but there was no negotiating this matter!

Chen Yan looked at Gu Yuena and felt her sincerity and worry. He knew she was right, and besides, Gu Yuena did not even give him a chance to refuse before walking straight toward the hall.

Chen Yan shook his head with a bitter smile. Watching her receding figure, he sighed. He truly had no way to deal with her.

He then returned to his room, sat in a chair, and quietly waited for Gu Yuena to return.

Guys, it looks like there's probably no hope of getting a contract. (ω)
