Luna: I Just Took a Nap! / The Parents Are Here?

"Wow..."

In mid-air, within the golden light, Yuexia, her bangs swaying gently in the night breeze, held Gwen's arm with Valkyrie Quicksilver hands, her eyes shining as she looked down at the moonlit forest below.

Although Gwen had taken her through one world, she was protected by many layers of security.

Standing here flying beside Gwen, able to see the scenery under the moonlight and even feel the evening breeze, Valkyrie Quicksilver couldn't help but show excitement.

On the other side, Seele was in slightly better shape than Valkyrie Quicksilver, but her eyes were equally filled with surprise—

This kind of flight, almost like riding the wind, was something Seele had never imagined.

Beside Valkyrie Quicksilver, Stargazer, though his expression was more reserved, Gwen could tell that the young crown prince was also somewhat excited.

Some people in this world can indeed wield certain powers, but their potential is quite limited.

Even for Stargazer, the crown prince who had been exposed to the highest levels of knowledge and power since birth, the ability to ride the wind was still a legendary thing.

After being physically carried by Gwen, Stargazer quickly arrived at the location where the formation would normally take a full day to reach.

Although the thrill of flying was irresistible even to the precocious Stargazer, the matter involved the future of the entire country and even the world, so Stargazer quickly calmed down and began to make arrangements.

While Gwen was Stargazer the formation by stargazing, he also watched without any hesitation.

Although Gwen didn't understand the Stargazer was chanting, Gwen did have some understanding of the underlying principles and essence of them, and could comprehend a portion of it.

Stargazer completely ignored Gwen's act of directly spying on the core secrets of the Huang Kingdom.

And so, the Stargazer, carried by Gwen, covered the distance in one night that would normally take several days of day and night travel.

However, as a result, after setting up the third formation, visible dark circles appeared under Stargazer's eyes.

"Alright, the formation is ready. Let's get some rest..."

A voice tinged with pity rang out, lulling the weary Stargazer into a dream.

Chapter 382 Under the Valkyrie Quicksilver: I just took a nap!

"Hmm..."

As consciousness slowly returned from the beautiful dream, Stargazer felt that he had slept very well and his body was warm, as if all the fatigue from traveling all night had disappeared.

That comforting warmth made Stargazer feel like returning to childhood, nestled in a thick quilt, unwilling to wake up.

Just as Stargazer somewhat groggy, was about to turn over and go back to sleep, a quiet voice beside him jolted him awake.

"Woke up?"

The unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar voice instantly brought Stargazer back to his senses. The scenes of Gwen's "cloud-riding" last night, traveling back and forth between three places and setting up formations, flashed through his mind, making Stargazer realize the current situation.

Stargazer opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound, and sure enough, he saw Gwen's smiling face.

Although being seen acting like a child made Stargazer a little embarrassed, the important matter was at hand, and Stargazer quickly put on the serious expression familiar to Gwen—

How long have we been asleep?

She didn't reprimand Gwen for putting her to sleep. Stargazer knew very well her condition at the time and knew she needed to rest.

Stargazer even wanted to ask Gwen how he managed to sleep so soundly after everything was over.

"One night."

Gwen raised his finger and pointed to the bright moon in the sky.

"It was my oversight; I should have slowed down—"

Although you are precocious and possess some power, you are still just a child Stargazer body hasn't fully developed, and your power isn't geared towards strengthening your body.

Setting up three layers of formations in one night must have taken a huge toll on you.

As he spoke, Gwen also took a lunchbox from the side and handed it to Stargazer.

"Have something to eat first, I hope it suits your taste."

"Um, thank you..."

After taking the lunchbox, Stargazer thanked him in a low voice, glanced at the metal lunchbox in his hand which was clearly not made in the Huang Kingdom, and then opened it.

The next moment, the aroma that wafted towards her made Stargazer's eyes light up, and her empty stomach immediately urged the girl to eat.

However, although she was already very hungry, Stargazer maintained proper manners while eating and did not wolf down her food.

Even so, the dinner in the lunchbox was quickly devoured.

"How?

Are you satisfied?

Gwen smiled and asked as he watched Stargazer wipe the grease from the corner of his mouth with a napkin, seemingly without any instruction.

"It is extremely delicious, even better than that of the imperial chefs in the palace."

In response, Stargazer gave it extremely high praise without mincing words, and looked at Gwen with curiosity—

"Mr. Assassin, you're also skilled in cooking?"

As they spent more time together, Stargazer discovered that Gwen seemed to really enjoy being called "Mr. Assassin," so he simply kept that title and used it as appropriate.

The idea that a powerful being like Gwen, capable of flying through the clouds, would be skilled in cooking... seems rather fantastical to Stargazer.

Like her grandfather, although he always seemed to be very good at cooking, the things he made... were always a little unsatisfactory.

"My cooking skills... I'd say they're just okay. I can't make anything truly delicious; they're just average home-style dishes."

Gwen immediately understood what Stargazer meant and explained with a smile.

"As for the dinner you just ate, it was prepared by my maid and stored in a lunchbox."

"Can food stay warm for this long when it's in a lunchbox?"

Upon hearing this, Stargazer's eyes widened slightly as he looked at the lunchbox in his hand with surprise.

Stargazer did not detect any special power on it.

"Isn't the power of technology amazing?"

Gwen smiled, without explaining that Rita had sent it to him through the Chat System that evening.

"Science and technology?"

"In short, it is what one learns through the study of investigating things and extending knowledge."

"I see. It seems Mr. Assassin's hometown is a very advanced world..."

"Not bad, although we haven't been able to leave the planet yet, at least humanity has basically solved the problem of food and clothing."

"Could it be that the assassin comes from a utopian world?"

"Obviously impossible—"

This only satisfies some of the conditions; as development progresses, more problems will arise, and some of them will even drift further away from the ideal of a utopian world.

"Sir Assassin, could you tell us about this?"

"Nature."

Under the soft moonlight, two figures, one tall and one short, gradually sat down side by side.

Meanwhile, in the other tent, Yuexia Liumei, who had been sleeping soundly after a day of playing, Valkyrie Quicksilver her eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she had a not-so-pleasant dream.

The next morning, as the chirping of birds reached their ears, Valkyrie Quicksilver and Seele, who had just woken up, stepped out of their tent and found Gwen and Stargazer casually sitting together, arguing about something.

"..."

Valkyrie Quicksilver blinked blankly, exchanged a glance with Seele beside her, completely unaware of what had happened.

Why is it that I just took a nap, and before that I was still asleep and not very familiar with Gwen, Stargazer was already chatting so amiably with Gwen?

Upon seeing Valkyrie Quicksilver and Seele emerge from the tent, Gwen ceased his argument with Stargazer, smiling and waving goodbye.

Good morning, Valkyrie Quicksilver, Seele.

Seeing Gwen greet them, Valkyrie Quicksilver and Seele quickly snapped out of their confusion and greeted Gwen in return.

After a quick wash, Gwen set out a steaming breakfast on a stone table he had hastily carved out.

There are Western meals that Seele and Valkyrie Quicksilver are familiar with, as well as Chinese breakfasts that Gwen and Stargazer are familiar with.

"Um?

"Where did you get that, Mr. Assassin?"

Upon seeing this, Stargazer's eyes widened slightly—

Flying through the clouds was somewhat understandable, but conjuring up objects out of thin air, especially steaming hot food, was truly beyond her comprehension.

"It was made and delivered to me directly by my maid."

—Just like what you ate after you woke up last night.

Gwen said with a smile.

"But didn't you say it was food kept warm?"

Stargazer suddenly felt cheated, her lips slightly pouting as she stared at Gwen.

"It is indeed heat-insulating."

Gwen remained unchanged as he watched Stargazer, who was unusually showing such a childlike side, and his mood brightened considerably.

"We brought it over last night while we were having dinner, and kept it warm in the lunchbox until you woke up—"

Of course, it's not that the lunchbox couldn't keep food warm for longer; it's just that food doesn't taste good if left out for too long, so I ate the food from earlier.

"..."

Seeing Gwen's delighted smile, Stargazer immediately realized that he had acted impulsively. He turned his head away from Gwen, grabbed a jelly and stuffed it into his mouth, not even caring about manners.

This scene was also witnessed by those observing the area.

Chapter 383 Parents Come to the Door?

"General You Lan, what did you see?"

In the nearby jungle, Prime Minister Rita of the Huang Kingdom looked at General You Lan, who had put down the telescope, and asked with a frown.

Last night, after receiving reports of unusual phenomena from their Stargazer, Rita and You Lan, who were both busy searching for the yet-to-be-crowned Imperial Grandson, each led a light cavalry unit, traveling day and night, and found this place.

After their chance encounter in the forest, these two pillars of the empire exchanged a few words before parting ways to continue their individual search for the missing crown prince.

With the late emperor's death imminent and the new emperor having fled the palace before even ascending the throne, the people of the Huang Kingdom were in turmoil. Prime Minister Rita and General You Lan, who were the heads of the civil and military affairs respectively and had little interaction, were worried that the other might do something detrimental to the country. Therefore, they did not join forces, but instead planned to find the Imperial Grandson Stargazer first before making any further plans.

However, just as Rita and You Lan were about to leave after talking away from the main group and testing each other's thoughts, they unexpectedly heard voices from the stream outside the forest.

Following the sound, the two saw the familiar figure of the Stargazer.

The sudden appearance of Stargazer forced the two to stop in their tracks.

You Lan wanted to go up and ask Stargazer why he had irresponsibly left the palace, but Rita stopped the illustrious general and took out her telescope to observe him.

"Judging from Your Highness's expression... he seems to be quite amicable with those strangers of unknown origin..."

Youlan returned the telescope to Rita with a hint of hesitation on You Lan face.

Although Stargazer looks a bit angry now, You Lan has lived in the military camp for many years, can tell that it is the kind of emotion that comes from friends playing around.

"But His Highness seems quite angry, and has even forgotten the most basic etiquette..."

Rita, looking through the telescope again, saw the Stargazer's rude actions and began to question You Lan's conclusion.

However, before the two could reach a conclusion, an unfamiliar male voice rang in their ears—

"Since you're here, come on over."

"!"

Instantly, Rita tensed up and leaped away from her spot.

You Lan, on the other hand, drew the sword from her waist and looked around warily.

However, looking around, there was only a lush forest, and not a single person in sight.
