"What are you spacing out for... can't bear to part with him?"
Watching Kafka still gaze at Lin Feng's handsome face, Silver Wolf frowned slightly and couldn't help grumbling inwardly.
Sure, that vessel named Lin Feng is pretty handsome, but come on, lady, read the room. The Antimatter Legion's invasion is in full swing, and the Astral Express crew will be here soon.
"Yes. We've always taken Stellarons from other people. This is our first time giving one away."
Kafka's rosy lips parted, a faint trace of sadness appearing on her exquisite face.
"You need this long to think it over? Didn't you make up your mind before we left?"
"Don't rush me, Silver Wolf. This is a very important decision!"
Pursing her lips, Kafka looked at Lin Feng with a hint of resolve in her eyes.
"Time to wake up!"
She extended her slender, jade-like left hand and gently supported Lin Feng's back, then pressed the brilliantly glowing Stellaron in her other hand hard against his chest.
Holy fucking shit... that hurts like hell!
Lin Feng, whose consciousness had not fully fallen asleep, was inwardly losing his mind.
Although he had already experienced six cycles of reincarnation along the Paths, the intense pain of the Stellaron taking root inside him was still more than he could bear.
But the excruciating pain lasted only an instant before that violent energy became a gentle stream, quietly flowing through his limbs and body, tempering and cleansing his originally frail human physique.
"Huh? Why isn't he reacting? Silver Wolf, are you sure there's nothing wrong with this body?"
Looking at Lin Feng, whose eyes remained tightly shut, Kafka questioned Silver Wolf beside her.
"There's nothing wrong with the vessel I prepared. Maybe it's because of the Stellaron, or he simply hasn't fully awakened yet."
The silver-haired girl's expression darkened. Her hands tapped rapidly across her terminal's panel as she tried to find the cause.
"Hmm... asleep? That's fine, too."
"Listen to me. I'm leaving now, and I'm going to leave you here alone."
"Next, you'll encounter all kinds of danger and find yourself in terrifying predicaments."
"You'll have companions who are like family, and embark on adventures you never could have dreamed of..."
Kafka continued speaking, a complicated look in her wine-red eyes that left even Lin Feng momentarily dazed.
The alluring beauty before him was only a few centimeters away. As she spoke, her warm breath mingled with the faint scent of perfume, and together with her exquisite face, it made his feelings difficult to restrain.
"This is what Elio foresaw, and the future you'll reach. So, do you like it?"
Pressed close to Lin Feng, Kafka seemed to be drawn by some unknown force. Her breathing grew quick, her heartbeat gradually accelerated, and a faint blush quietly bloomed across her fair face.
As a cold, ruthless Stellaron Hunter, Kafka had never experienced anything like this before, and she couldn't help freezing for a moment.
"I like it..."
Lin Feng, who had long been ready to act, slowly spoke.
The passive effect of his purple talent, Distance Makes the Heart Grow Fonder, had already activated. He had remained unresponsive to stall for as long as possible. Now, the timing should be about right. If he didn't act, Kafka really would leave.
With almost no hesitation, Lin Feng wrapped both arms around Kafka's slender, supple waist and kissed her hard.
"Mmph... you..."
Kafka's pupils contracted sharply, her wine-red eyes filled with utter shock.
That vessel named Lin Feng had actually made such a dangerous move. This was far beyond the scope of the original plan.
Instinctively, Kafka reached down with her right hand, intending to draw the gun beside her thigh strap. Yet her arm seemed to have lost all strength, and she couldn't even grip the weapon.
"Damn it... no..."
Meanwhile, Lin Feng's assault continued unabated, and he seized the chance to slip past her teeth.
Suddenly, her heart raced like a startled deer through the woods, and her snow-white skin flushed crimson. The notorious Stellaron Hunter Kafka actually grew dazed and flustered, abandoning resistance and beginning to respond to the handsome man's brazen advances.
Feeling the warmth and softness of her rosy lips, along with the marshmallow-like fullness pressed against him, Lin Feng's heart reeled as well.
Having been an inexperienced bachelor before transmigrating, he could hardly handle it either. After all, Kafka's seductive appeal was practically maxed out.
"This... this..."
Silver Wolf, who had been watching from the sidelines, instantly turned to stone.
What on earth is Kafka doing? She's only supposed to wake up the sleeping Stellaron vessel. Does she really need to go this far?
Sure, Lin Feng is handsome, but come on, lady, look where we are! This is way too reckless!
"Damn it... look away, look away..."
Silver Wolf covered her face with both hands, only to sneak peeks through the gaps between her fingers...
Before she knew it, even Silver Wolf, the normally composed genius hacker, felt her ears turning red and hot.
A moment later, Kafka clenched her teeth and used every ounce of strength to push the rather brazen, handsome man away. Her hands moved like lightning as she drew the two guns hanging from her thigh straps and aimed them at the target before her.
"You bastard... how dare you?"
"You stole my first kiss! Die!"
Her once-fair face was now covered in a deep blush. There was a vicious edge in Kafka's eyes, yet her slender fingers trembled on the triggers, showing none of her earlier decisiveness.
"Mom... what are you doing?"
"Ah! My head hurts so much! What just happened?"
As though possessed by a born actor, Lin Feng clutched his head with both hands, his face contorted in pain.
After gaining the talent called Love Master, Lin Feng's ability to think on his feet had leaped several levels.
Sure enough, although his acting was a little overdone, it left Kafka thoroughly bewildered.
"Kafka... don't do anything rash..."
"As the Stellaron vessel, Lin Feng is crucial to our plan..."
Meanwhile, Silver Wolf, who had been secretly watching from the sidelines all along, slowly walked over to Kafka and spoke with a solemn expression.
"Hmph... since you didn't mean it, I'll spare you this time!"
"Um... Lin Feng, are you all right?"
Putting away her two guns, Kafka took a few steps forward. As she watched Lin Feng hopping about in place with pain written all over his face, a hint of sympathy appeared on her fair features.
She had heard what Lin Feng had just called her. Had he lost all his memories because of the Stellaron and then mistaken the person who woke him for his mother? On further thought, that seemed perfectly reasonable.
According to the Astral Encyclopedia, primates would regard the first living creature they saw upon opening their eyes as their mother.
And everything happening before her matched the phenomenon described in the book perfectly.
