The Starship's interior was quiet.
Warm jade paved the floor, and a couch stood beside the window. Outside, the stars streaked backward, stretched into streams of light.
With soft fabric beneath him, Si Chen felt comfortable all over.
Sure enough, lying down was the most comfortable.
He had been fighting and playing chess earlier. Neither had taken much effort, but neither felt as relaxing as lying down.
Gray Gray, meanwhile, was like a curious baby, wandering around the spacious cabin, looking left and right, lightly tapping the floor with its hooves before moving up to the window to look outside.
"Mm-ah..."
What a fine thing. So grand.
Si Chen let it romp around while he closed his eyes and began sensing the marks he had left on his companions.
They were scattered in different directions, some near, some far.
With a thought, Si Chen transmitted the approximate bearing of the closest one to the Starship's control core.
Hum.
The Starship shuddered slightly, adjusted its course, and accelerated in that direction.
It really was fast.
Far faster than Gray Gray flying for all it was worth, and smooth, with almost no jolting.
Si Chen was very satisfied.
He just wondered who he would find next.
Black Mountain? Red Wind? Red Bean? Or Xie Changsheng?
He felt a little anticipation.
Gray Gray watched from the window for quite a while before finally growing bored.
It turned around, trotted over to the couch, and nudged Si Chen's hand with its head.
"Mm-ah?"
"What is it?"
Si Chen opened his eyes.
Gray Gray looked at him pleadingly, then turned toward the other end of the cabin. There was a little cabinet there, and it had just smelled the fragrance of Spirit Fruit inside.
Si Chen smiled and rubbed its head. "Help yourself."
