75: Chapter 75 Interstellar Spaceship

"Sss—" As Su Wu approached, a hatch on the side of the shuttle slid open seamlessly.

Su Wu stepped inside the spaceship.

Although it didn't look large from the outside, the interior of the spaceship appeared extremely spacious. The pure white interior was filled with a minimalist sense of futuristic technology.

"Beep—"

"High-energy life signs detected. System activating..."

"Scan complete. Authorization confirmed. I am very happy to serve you, my future master!"

An extremely gentle, magnetic, and emotional female AI voice echoed throughout the spaceship in surround sound. Immediately after, beams of soft blue light emanated from the seamless walls all around, instantly illuminating the entire command cabin.

Su Wu looked around, observing the holographic star map floating in mid-air and the various precision instruments, unable to help but secretly marvel at this masterful craftsmanship.

He walked to the console made of unknown soft Materials and lightly traced his fingers over the glowing virtual control panels.

An unprecedented, wonderful feeling, as if the entire Universe were within his grasp, welled up inside him.

"Please perform biological gene imprint binding, Master." The AI's soft voice prompted again.

Su Wu forced out a drop of blood from his fingertip and let it drip onto the blue verification screen.

"Ding! Binding successful. Recognition of master complete. 'star dome' is ready to await your instructions at any time."

After finishing all this, Su Wu took a deep breath and attempted to give the spaceship its first command.

"Destination: Earth, Jiangnan Base City!"

"Command received..."

Boom!

Su Wu only felt the interior of the spaceship tremble very slightly.

From the outside, that dark golden shuttle docked at the Magic City port only emitted a very soft hum.

Immediately after, profound lines of spatial energy flowed wildly across the surface of the hull, and the spaceship slowly rose a few meters into the air.

"Swish!"

Without any process of acceleration, the spaceship was as if wiped away from the canvas by an invisible brush, instantly vanishing from its spot!

...

Three seconds. Only three seconds had passed!

"Swish!"

Above the ten-thousand-meter altitude of the Jiangnan Great Base, the Void Realm rippled like water, and the dark golden "star dome" appeared out of thin air like a ghost, hovering steadily among the clouds.

"This speed... it's simply monstrous!"

He did not land this conspicuous spaceship, but instead directly activated the spaceship's optical stealth mode, letting it park high in the sky.

Afterward, Su Wu opened the hatch, stepped out, and his figure turned into a meteor, fleeing toward the City Lord's Mansion of Jiangnan Base.

...

Half an hour later.

In the early morning of Jiangnan, the air was filled with a faint, moist water vapor.

At Jiangnan Second Martial Arts University, on a quiet patch of grass behind the mountain.

Crystal-clear morning dew still hung on the tips of the grass.

A stunningly beautiful young girl wearing a tight-fitting white training suit with her hair tied in a high ponytail was shedding sweat in the morning mist.

It was none other than Xu Lele.

During the days since Su Yu left Jiangnan for Magic City, she had not slacked off for a single day.

Su Yu's strength, which was like a Heavenly God descending to earth, not only gave her a sense of security but also provided her with endless motivation.

She knew her talent was ordinary, but she swore that even if she had to exhaust every last drop of sweat, she would strive to shorten that unreachable chasm.

"Hoo... ha..."

Xu Lele thrust her sword out, and the wind from the sword stirred up the fallen leaves on the ground.

Her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, which slid down her fair cheeks.

Meanwhile, under a huge paulownia tree not far from her.

A round, snowy-white "little milk cat" was lying sprawled on its back on the soft lawn, its belly rising and falling with its breath, with a trace of crystalline drool hanging from the corner of its mouth.

Just at this moment.

"Hum..."

A very slight sound of something breaking through the air, which only a high-level expert could detect, suddenly came from the air.

Xiao Bai, who had been sleeping soundly, instantly had its two furry ears stand up like radar!

Its tightly closed eyes snapped open, and its initially lazy gaze became incomparably vigilant in an instant.

It jumped up from the ground almost like a catapult, suddenly looking up at the sky.

When it clearly saw that familiar figure in the sky, the instinctive killing intent in Xiao Bai's eyes instantly dissipated, turning into an extremely human-like surprise.

"Whoosh!"

Su Wu was seen landing silently on the grass, standing right in front of Xiao Bai.

At this moment, Xu Lele, who was not far away, also noticed the commotion here.

When she turned her head and saw Su Wu who had appeared suddenly, she was stunned for a moment, then a look of both surprise and joy appeared on her face, and she hurriedly put away her wooden sword and trotted over.

"Uncle Su!"

Xu Lele bowed obediently, her voice crisp and pleasant.

"Little Xu, you're up so early for morning training, not bad, very diligent."

Su Wu looked at the girl in front of him with slightly flushed cheeks and clear, tenacious eyes, a trace of the kind of affection an old father feels when looking at his daughter-in-law flashing in his eyes.

He smiled and replied, then without much further ado, he reached into his pocket, took out a space ring, and handed it to Xu Lele.

"Uncle came in a rush this time and didn't prepare any gifts. Take this little trinket, consider it pocket money from me."

Xu Lele looked at the space ring, scared, and hurriedly waved her hands, stepping back: "No, no! Uncle Su, this is too expensive, I can't accept it!"

Although she didn't know what was inside, how could something taken out by Su Yu's father be ordinary?

"Squeak! Boss! You finally remembered me!"

Just as the two were declining, Xiao Bai had already rolled over like a white meatball, extremely skillfully rubbing against Su Wu's pant leg frantically.

Su Wu smiled, crouched down, stretched out his hands, scooped Xiao Bai up from the ground, and placed it steadily on his left shoulder.

Then, he stood up and, with a gentle but firm attitude that brooked no refusal, grabbed Xu Lele's hand and forcibly pressed the space ring into her palm.

"I am here to pick up Xiao Bai."

"Just now, Su Yu... has already left Earth."

Hearing this news, Xu Lele's body stiffened imperceptibly.

Although she had been mentally prepared, the moment she truly heard that the young man had already left this planet, an indescribable, immense sense of loss and emptiness surged into her heart like a tide.

But she was an extremely sensible and strong girl.

She bit her lip tightly, forcing herself to hold back the tears in her eyes.

She took a deep breath, raised her head, and flashed a smile at Su Wu—one that was a bit forced, yet incredibly strong—and nodded heavily: "Mm. I know."

Watching the girl force a smile, Su Wu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This young couple was destined to endure the test of long time and distance.

But Su Wu did not intend to interfere too much.

"You are a good child." Su Wu said gently, "In this ring, I have left you some Medicinal Pill for cleansing the marrow and strengthening the bones, as well as a few Martial Skills suitable for you. Additionally, there is an anonymous black card with ten million federal credits stored in it."

Su Wu turned around, and the Void Realm behind him began to ripple faintly.

With his back to Xu Lele, he left behind one sentence: "I have already greeted the City Lord of Jiangnan Base. If you encounter any difficulties you cannot solve, just go find him."

As his words fell.

A breeze blew by.

Su Wu and Xiao Bai on his shoulder dissipated into the air like foam.

Xu Lele held the space ring blankly, gazing at the azure sky.

The tears at the corners of her eyes finally could not help but fall, but her eyes became brighter than ever before.

High above at ten thousand meters.

Inside the dark golden "star dome" shuttle, Su Wu sat upright in the pilot's seat.

"Master, please issue the next navigation command." The AI's soft voice sounded.

"Holy Spirit Star Domain!"
