Jiujiu felt that this beautiful older sister was truly… cool. She envied her so much and wanted to be like her in the future, appearing and disappearing like the wind, her whereabouts a mystery!

Wei Lanshan said to Long Xingxue's retreating back, "I, Wei Lanshan, will remember this favor from Snow Dragon." Wei Lanshan made a promise in the direction Long Xingxue had left after she turned around.

Wei Lanshan knew that Long Xingxue had decided to go easy on her. She didn't know why she made this decision, but she would definitely remember this favor.

Long Xingxue's lips curved upward slightly upon hearing her words. Just as Master had said, she was so restrained yet so contradictory, her senior sister.

Although she didn't know she had such a junior sister.

Long Xingxue deduced her lineage from her martial skill. Only five people in the entire Alliance knew this skill, and Wei Lanshan could perform it with ease, with three times the destructive power she could muster.

Back then, Master had told her and her junior brother that they had a senior sister on Gaia Star in the Alliance. This senior sister was extremely talented in martial skills; she could comprehend realms that even Master had never reached. Her talent was immense.

She and her junior brother had long wanted to witness her skills. They never expected to meet her under such circumstances, and to find out their senior sister was the Alliance Chief of Biology, it truly astonished her.

The spar just now had been exhilarating for Long Xingxue, and she finally believed what Master had said. In terms of martial skill comprehension, she was indeed inferior to Wei Lanshan.

She was also inferior to her senior sister in terms of luck. The child observing from the side had already been taken under her wing. With clear eyes and a firm will, the child's exceptional talent was unlike anything she had ever seen.

Jiujiu walked to Wei Lanshan's side and helped her apply a medical patch to the skin cut by mental power. The superficial wound would heal in about ten minutes.

Wei Lanshan: "Jiujiu, did you understand the fight just now? Did you remember the techniques, the timing of the attacks, and the directions?"

"Aunt Lan, I've already memorized it and practiced it many times in my mind."

Jiujiu knew that Wei Lanshan had been teaching by example, wanting her to have a more direct experience of how to execute martial skills, how to find an opponent's weakness, and then win with a single decisive blow.

She had watched with rapt attention. Wei Lanshan's agile and graceful movements, her composure under pressure, and the room she had to spare—this was the level she aspired to reach!

Wei Lanshan knew she was quick to learn. "We'll encounter such life-or-death battles all the way. Are you afraid, Jiujiu?"

Jiujiu paused for a breath, then looked up at Wei Lanshan with determination and shook her head. "Aunt Lan, Jiujiu isn't afraid. To survive, even if it means enduring all the hardships and dangers in this world, it's worth it."

This world was so beautiful, and she wanted to travel everywhere to see the magnificent scenery in the depths of the Xinghai. It would be a waste of this incredible encounter if she didn't live to see it.

Wei Lanshan smiled with relief.

In time, this little girl would surely grow into a towering tree, capable of sheltering others from the wind and rain.

"Alright, we'll overcome all these challenges together," Wei Lanshan said softly, stroking her soft hair and making a promise.

On their way to board the Star Shuttle bound for Anweier Star System, Wei Lanshan and Jiujiu encountered no further danger.

After Wei Lanshan and Jiujiu departed, Long Xingxue reappeared. She opened her terminal, brought up a holographic screen, and called her junior brother Ming Weiman: "A'man, guess who I met?"

It was still early morning in Ming Weiman's star system. He was buried under his covers and grumbled impatiently, "Long Xuexing, can you stop calling in the middle of the night? What if my girlfriends and I were having a harmonious moment? You'd scare me into impotence."

Long Xingxue looked at him with disappointment. "Ming Weiman, if you continue to be promiscuous, I'll go to Mingzhao right now, catch you, and send you back to Shangyue Star to guard the mausoleum. Then I'll inject you with an inhibitor, and you'll never touch a woman again in this life! And I mean it!"

Ming Weiman knew Long Xingxue kept her word. Hearing her erupt in such anger, he knew she might be serious.

He quickly put on a fawning expression. "Senior Sister, my beautiful, generous, noble, and peerless Senior Sister Xingxue, your junior brother spoke carelessly. Please overlook my transgression, won't you?"

Ming Weiman, adaptable and yielding—well done!

Long Xingxue's delicate face in the video call contorted slightly. She couldn't understand why this person was her junior brother!

"Ming Weiman, be careful when you walk too much at night. If you run into a tough opponent, you might capsize."

They were past the age where the Central Brain would forcibly assign them partners. Ming Weiman was wealthy and always found ways to meet various women, so his private life wasn't exactly clean. This was Long Xingxue's biggest complaint about him.

Long Xingxue's anger had not yet subsided. She decided she must find time to properly discipline her junior brother, or he would truly disgrace their ancestors.

"I've noted it, I'll definitely remember. Besides, I was just sleeping. There's really no one else around me. I spoke out of turn! Senior Sister, please forgive your little brother. I don't want to go back to Shangyue Star!"

He would rather die than go back. Guarding a mausoleum, how terrifying! He hadn't had enough fun yet; how could he go back to live out his twilight years prematurely?

Long Xingxue replied to Ming Weiman with a blank expression: "We'll discuss it later."

Damn it. Hearing her words, Ming Weiman, who thought he knew her well, cried out internally. Long Xingxue was serious this time!

He decided to flee immediately.

"Don't even think about escaping. Don't forget what I do," Long Xingxue's words immediately made Ming Weiman shed tears of sorrow.

Ming Weiman deflated, got up, and sat properly, preparing to have a sincere and friendly chat with his senior sister.

"Senior Sister, if you have something to say, please just command me. Your junior brother will do his utmost," Ming Weiman's tone finally became a little more serious.

"I met the senior sister Master mentioned. She's very powerful. I sparred with her for over an hour and couldn't defeat her."

"Oh, and then? Where is Senior Sister? How did you end up fighting her? Is she your mission target this time?" Ming Weiman became agitated. Who dared to lay hands on someone from Shangyue Star?

"Tang Family of Jinghui Star." This was what she later discovered through clues. The mission was anonymous at first, and out of curiosity, she used some means to find out the client.

Ming Weiman took note. The people of Shangyue Star were extremely protective of their own. Anyone who dared to issue a pursuit order to kill them would have to be shown some consequences.

"Where is Senior Sister?"

"They are heading in your direction. Have your people clear a path for them. Remember, Senior Sister has a junior disciple with her, the inheritor of our sect." Long Xingxue hung up after giving the instructions.

This junior brother truly infuriated her. She had suppressed her temper to say all that just now. If she suppressed it any further, she would lose control of her primal power.

Long Xingxue silently transmitted basic data on Wei Lanshan and Jiujiu to Ming Weiman, adding, "If you can't even protect your own people, remember to arrange for your lover to collect your corpse in advance."

Ming Weiman was so shaken by Long Xingxue's video call that he couldn't sleep. Reluctantly, he got out of bed and sat at his desk to review the information she had sent.

The more he read, the more he gasped. He hadn't expected to have two mountains pressing down on him from above, leaving him no hope of advancement!

One senior sister was the leader of a mercenary group, and the other was an Alliance Chief.

An Alliance Chief! The entire Jingsu Alliance probably had less than 500,000 people! Keep in mind that the population of the Jingsu Alliance, in a single star system alone, exceeded tens of billions. Was there any hope for him, Ming Weiman?

Master, when you took disciples, why didn't you take someone gentler? He hadn't met Wei Lanshan, but Long Xingxue was a walking machine of violence. Ming Weiman shed tears like a waterfall!
