The beautiful place that Firefly mentioned was a small area of ancient-style buildings and a grove of trees with leaves and flowers that looked like they were in a highly saturated shade of red.

The two together make for a great location for taking photos.

Many people can be seen taking photos with professional equipment along the roadside.

Lin Shuang, who hadn't originally planned to take pictures, couldn't help but turn on her phone's camera because of the moment she was moved.

Against the backdrop of architecture and autumn leaves, many beautiful moments of Firefly were captured.

After taking pictures for a while, Firefly turned around and took a few Photos of Lin Shuang as well.

This event was like a switch being flipped.

It wasn't until the two had finished dinner and were about to part ways that they continued.

The two of them now have a huge number of Photos on their phones.

Some photos show the scenery, while others depict the silly expressions of people eating.

We returned to the original outpost.

Having just returned, the two hadn't rested on the sofa for long when Lin Shuang took out the box of cake rolls along with the box from her small portable spatial device.

Portable Space devices are quite common in this universe, and many factions possess similar technologies.

A typical example is the Cave-Heaven Technology of the Xianzhou.

This Space Folding technology will lead to a significant increase in cost and energy consumption as the scale of the space expands.

The Cavern of the Xianzhou are extremely high in terms of both maintenance costs and technical level.

The small space equipment used by Lin Shuang was relatively much cheaper.

Of course, even so, Space Folding technology has not yet become widespread enough for personal items.

After all, carrying it around requires constant worry about energy availability, and once the volume exceeds a certain limit, it becomes difficult to make the power supply device small and portable.

Space Folding designs are mostly used for storage and travel, but they're relatively impractical for portable devices.

Lin Shuang was willing to use it because she could directly draw power from the Herrscher Core.

So they asked Sky-Faring Commission for help to get a niche product.

"Here, this is the rest of the Oak Cake Roll. It should last you for a while."

Lin Shuang placed the cardboard box on the table, while Firefly blinked in surprise.

"So much?"

One Swiss roll alone would keep her occupied for a long time; this box must contain at least a hundred of them.

"Is it alright?"

Lin Shuang subconsciously still regarded the cake roll as a snack, so she simply replied with that.

But then I suddenly realized that this cake roll is like a miracle cure for Firefly right now, one lasts a long time, so the quantity is indeed quite generous.

So he changed his tune again:

"Well, wouldn't it be better to have more?"

Firefly looked away from the cardboard box. She wanted to thank Lin Shuang, but then she remembered her previous reaction and figured Lin Shuang probably wouldn't like to hear it today.

I will cherish it.

Lin Shuang nodded; as long as it's useful, that's fine.

"Well, I should head back now. I had a lot of fun today, thank you, Firefly."

"Hey, don't we need to wait for Silver Wolf? I've already called her, she'll be here soon."

Firefly chuckled at first, then realized what was happening and looked at Lin Shuang curiously. Azur Star was quite far from the Xianzhou, so how were they going to get back so suddenly?

"No need to trouble her, I have the ability to teleport back too."

Just then, the Silver Wolf happened to project its image here.

Lin Shuang's words reached Silver Wolf's ears without a single mistake.

When did you acquire the teleportation ability?

Silver Wolf raised his head suspiciously and looked at Lin Shuang, who was about to leave.

The handle that Silver Wolf had been holding was also put down.

According to Elio, Lin Shuang's strength will also be enhanced after she forms a contract with Lin Shuang.

However, the specifics are unknown.

Could this be it?

Lin Shuang didn't intend to hide it; the teleportation function of the Aether Editing was simply too distinctive in its style.

Anyone who has seen it will recognize it; hiding it won't help.

"Just recently, I was able to go directly back to places I had been before."

As she spoke, Lin Shuang opened her phone's keypad, activated the skill, and pressed the 'B' key.

Volume 1: Chapter 122 White-Haired Form Acheron: Sister Lin Shuang, please help me!

As the skill was triggered, a familiar pixelated teleportation wormhole unfolded before our eyes.

Firefly felt that it was very similar to Silver Wolf's skills, while Silver Wolf's eyes widened and he sat up straight in an instant:

"No... wait a minute, this is Aether Editing, right? How do you know how to use Aether Editing?!"

Faced with Silver Wolf's doubts, Lin Shuang blinked, thought for a moment, and hesitantly said:

"Hmm... I guess I learned it from you?"

"??"

Silver Wolf was completely confused. What did he mean by "learned from her"?

When did she teach this?

But Silver Wolf quickly realized what was happening.

"This is your power? After making a contract with me, you can gain a portion of my power?"

Lin Shuang nodded, then shook her head:

"To be precise, it's random, but it will be related to you. For example, my only ability is teleportation."

Silver Wolf, intrigued by Lin Shuang's words, threw down the controller and rushed to Lin Shuang, pressing her for an answer:

"Can you understand the principles behind Aether Editing?"

"I'm sorry, no, I don't understand at all."

"..."

Silver Wolf frowned and pondered for a moment, considering many possibilities.

But he quickly put it down again.

Aether Editing is complex; it is essentially the ability to infiltrate and manipulate information in this world.

Judging from Lin Shuang's statement, what she received was more like a pre-packaged skill set.

No need to understand it; just input the specific value when you want it, and it will automatically calculate the result.

Boring.

Theoretically speaking, it is possible to unpack the data when the transmission is initiated, thereby gaining insight into the nature of Aether Editing.

But whatever, whether Lin Shuang can use Aether Editing is none of her business.

Besides, she didn't have the time to teach Lin Shuang.

Unless this person comes to her and begs her, she might consider it.

"Forget it, let's go. I can't be bothered with you anymore."

Silver Wolf, who had sat back down, waved his hand and ignored her.

Lin Shuang smiled and didn't mind. She greeted the two of them and went back.

I haven't even been lying down for long since I got home.

Lin Shuang picked up her phone and opened Acheron's account:

[Lin Shuang: Are you coming back tonight?]

Fortunately, Acheron was still within signal coverage, so he received a reply quickly.

[Acheron: I want to take a bath.]

Lin Shuang pursed her lips when she saw the reply; this person wasn't even willing to say a word about it being because of her.

[Lin Shuang: Then call me "sister," and I'll teleport you.]

[Acheron:?]

A question mark was answered almost instantly, which made Lin Shuang laugh.

But before I could enjoy it for long, another voice message popped up:

[Acheron: [Voice]]

Lin Shuang clicked on it, and Acheron's voice, accompanied by static, rang in her ears:

"Sister Lin Shuang."

The calm and shameless "sister" sent a shiver down Lin Shuang's spine.

I'm completely awake now.

I never expected Acheron would actually call me "sister".

Lin Shuang didn't know what to think for a moment, but her fingers honestly chose to collect and save it.

I immediately felt psychologically at peace.

We've won back a point!

Lin Shuang thought this through, then spoke frankly:

"Please help me, Sister Acheron."

Then, the next second, Acheron, covered in blood and carrying a knife, with his hair still white, appeared in front of Lin Shuang.

A strong, pungent smell of blood instantly filled the air, startling Lin Shuang. She instinctively asked:

Are you alright?!

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Shuang suddenly realized that she had no need to worry about a powerful expert at the Emanator level.

Without waiting for Acheron to speak, he took Acheron's hand and walked towards the bathroom, saying immediately:

"What happened to you? Why are you all dirty?"

Acheron looked at Lin Shuang's small hand, which was stained with blood, after she grabbed him.

All the White-Haired Form faded, turning back into deep blue.

The long sword, unstained with blood, was sheathed with a clang.

Acheron didn't resist being dragged by Lin Shuang, and just went into the bathroom with the knife in his hand.

Watching Lin Shuang frantically help him undress and wipe away the foul-smelling bloodstains with a clean towel, he felt a pang of guilt.

He opened his mouth and said:

"I ran into a small Swarm, and a fight broke out."

Lin Shuang was taken aback and looked up:

"Are you really alright? How many Swarm are there?"
