Qilin: There's a cow! Azhui: Such familiar words

Chapter 18: Qilin: There's a Cow! Azhui: That Sounds Familiar

"So... shall we set off now?" Azhui looked at Su Bai tentatively.

Su Bai nodded firmly:

"Mm! The sooner we finish, the sooner we come back. If Qilin gets off work and finds I'm not home, what if she gets mad?"

"What if she thinks I didn't behave and won't take me to Snack Street? Then I'm doomed!"

Watching him act like a "child" whose only concern was food, Azhui finally couldn't help but laugh.

Really, what had she even been arguing with a "child" about just now...

Inside the livestream, the comments started rolling again:

[The One Who Exploded Morgana's Head: Hehe, you're going to get revenge for me, I won't blame you~]

[Seeking Sponsorship: Clearly Qilin is the one supporting Su Bai, but it feels like Qilin's the one being tamed instead?]

[Seeking Sponsorship: Feels like in less than a day, Qilin's already becoming Su Bai's shape]

[Thirty-Thousand-Year-Old Aunt: Mm, agreed.]

[The Fox Yan Who Knows How to Flirt: +1]

[Silly White Sweet: +1]

[Silly White Sweet: Eh... accidentally clicked that.]

[Silly White Sweet: Also, why is my name so weird!]

[The Fox Yan Who Knows How to Flirt: Seeing your reaction, I think the livestream gave you that name... pretty accurately.]

[Silly White Sweet: Sister Yan! That's too much!]

[The Fox Yan Who Knows How to Flirt: Hm? Are you... Zhixin?]

[Silly White Sweet: Mmhm! It's me, Sister Yan~]

[Thirty-Thousand-Year-Old Aunt: Alright, little Zhixin, chat later. The little one and Azhui are about to set off.]

[Silly White Sweet: Yes, Teacher!]

Azhui spread her wings, ready to take off, but suddenly paused mid-motion.

She looked back at Su Bai, whose eyes were clear and face full of "I'm ready," and let out a soft sigh.

Then, she turned around and very naturally—

Took his hand.

Watching Azhui take his hand, Su Bai was a little puzzled but didn't ask, obediently following her to the balcony.

Inside the livestream, the comments exploded:

[The One Who Exploded Morgana's Head: !!!]

[The One Who Exploded Morgana's Head: What do you think you're doing, Miss Angel?!]

[The One Who Exploded Morgana's Head: He's just a child!!!]

[The Fox Yan Who Knows How to Flirt: Pfft, didn't expect this, little Azhui. Not bad talent in NTR~]

Seeing Angel Yan's comment, Qilin was even more devastated.

Qilin (inner thoughts): There's a cow! There's a cow!!!

Azhui: ...I feel like I've heard that somewhere before.

[Silly White Sweet: !!!]

[Silly White Sweet: A-Azhui, what is she doing?!]

[Seeking Sponsorship: What else? Can't you see the "cuckold" up there already wailing~]

[Seeking Sponsorship: Miss Qilin is clearly a police officer, but right now she's like a powerless husband~]

[Silly White Sweet: A powerless husband!!!]

[The One Who Exploded Morgana's Head: Ahhh! Yamete--!]

[The Fox Yan Who Knows How to Flirt: Mm~ I never thought you were this kind of little Azhui~]

[Little Milk Sha (helpless): Alright, Yan, stop teasing Miss Qilin.]

[The One Who Exploded Morgana's Head: Huh?]

[Little Milk Sha: Azhui was just considering that Su Bai has no wings and can't move easily, so she reached out to hold his hand, planning to fly with him.]

[The One Who Exploded Morgana's Head: So... that's how it is...]

[Thirty-Thousand-Year-Old Aunt: But, doesn't Su Bai have Space Ability? As long as Azhui gives directions, Su Bai could just take her along with consecutive space jumps to get there, right?]

[The One Who Exploded Morgana's Head: !!!]

[Little Milk Sha: ...]

Hexi's single sentence blew up Qilin's mind, which had just barely calmed down, all over again.

And Keisha was equally helpless.

This good friend of hers really never misses a chance for fun...

Azhui gently tightened her grip on Su Bai's hand.

"Hold tight."

As she spoke, her pure white wings suddenly unfurled—

A rush of air hit them, and Su Bai's hair was blown backward. He instinctively closed his eyes for a moment, then quickly opened them again, gazing curiously at the city shrinking below.

"Wow—we're flying!"

There was no fear in his voice, only pure novelty and excitement, like a child riding a roller coaster for the first time.

Azhui glanced sideways at him, the corners of her lips unconsciously curving upward.

To possess such incredible power, yet get so thrilled over something as trivial as "flying"...

He really was... adorably contradictory.

She slowed down slightly, making the ascent smoother.

Su Bai quickly adapted to the high-altitude air currents and even started looking around, trying to identify the neighborhood where Qilin's house was.

Above the clouds, sunlight poured down without obstruction, coating her wings in a faint golden halo.

Azhui carried Su Bai as they flew toward the cosmos.

In the livestream, the bullet comments kept scrolling:

['Seeking Sponsorship': This flying perspective... so envious!]

['The Fox Yan Who Knows How to Flirt': Little Azhui is pretty gentle, flying so steadily~]

['Thirty-Thousand-Year-Old Aunt': After all, she's taking a "kid" out, can't exactly sprint like on a mission.]

['The One Who Exploded Morgana's Head': So magnificent... so beautiful...]

After breaking out of Earth's atmosphere, Azhui began to accelerate.

Of course, this was because Xiao Xue had promptly reminded Su Bai to cover his body with a layer of spatial membrane to counteract the air resistance and pressure changes during flight.

This way, Azhui didn't need to deliberately slow down to accommodate him.

In just a few minutes, the two had arrived at Pluto's orbit, quietly hiding behind a massive meteorite.

Not far ahead, in the meteorite belt, the Taotie vanguard fleet was floating silently.

Three menacing warships, their hulls gleaming with a cold metallic luster under the starlight.

Azhui turned to look at Su Bai, her tone light but with a hint of seriousness:

"Ahead is the Taotie vanguard fleet sent to scout. What do you plan to do?"

She paused, then added:

"Do you need my help?"

Su Bai carefully observed the three warships and the occasional patrolling soldiers walking on the decks, then shook his head:

"No need, I can handle it."

He turned to Azhui and gave her a clean smile:

"Thank you, Azhui."

Hearing this thanks, the corners of Azhui's mouth lifted slightly as she returned the smile.

She said nothing more, just quietly watched Su Bai, waiting for his next move.

Not just her—everyone in the livestream was also holding their breath in anticipation.

At that moment, on the deck of one of the Taotie vanguard fleet's warships.

"Duhe, how long do you think it'll take us to take down this pre-nuclear civilization this time?" a Taotie soldier holding an energy gun asked in a hoarse voice.

The companion he called "Duhe" thought for a moment, then grinned, revealing a mouth full of metallic fangs:

"Based on past experience... no more than a month."

"Hahaha! When the mission's done, I wonder what rewards our god Cal will bestow upon us!"

Their laughter rang out starkly in the cold void of space, yet carried a fervent anticipation.

Suddenly, Morse stopped in his tracks.

"Huh, strange, why does it suddenly feel so much colder?"

"Now that you mention it, I feel it too..."
