152: Chapter 152 Encounter with a Level 4 Civilization Spaceship

Prince Tangping's Android was lying comfortably on a super large bed on the spaceship, being meticulously cared for by over a hundred beautiful human women, each with their own unique charm.

This Android of his was a specially customized collector's edition, extremely sensitive to physical stimulation.

Using this Android to engage in certain unspeakable activities was even more pleasurable than experiencing them in person.

Most importantly, the Android never tired, always remaining as vigorous as the first time.

"Lord Prince Tangping, shall we continue the warp, or take a tour of the surroundings before warping?" a beautiful woman dressed sexily, exuding an aura of extreme temptation and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, asked with a solemn expression.

"There's nothing worth seeing. The Fifth Ring is too remote; there isn't even a decent place here. Just warp directly. We'll go investigate near the Silver Horn Clan first." Prince Tangping opened his mouth, and a serving beauty nearby immediately fed him a piece of fresh fruit.

"As you command!" The beauty immediately went to handle the task. She was Prince Tangping's most favored housekeeper, and most matters of the Prince's Mansion were managed by her.

"Come, come, let's continue..." Seeing the beautiful housekeeper leave, Prince Tangping reached out with a smile...

Prince Tangping was the third younger brother of the current Emperor of the Canglan Empire. Since childhood, he had been indifferent to ambition, preferring to 'lie flat' and enjoy fine food and beautiful women, possessing no desire for power.

He was the closest to the current Emperor among all the princes!

...

In the Three-Body Star System, Su Fan and the other two were excitedly watching chunks of Lava Stone being excavated when a piercing alarm suddenly rang out!

"Warning! Large spaceship approaching via warp! Warning! Large spaceship approaching via warp!"

The three of them were startled and reacted immediately. Ignoring the engineering machinery on the ground, they leaped up in their mechas and entered the kongming mothership.

"Red Queen! Quick! Activate all defensive shields, lock weapons on the target, and move away from this planet immediately!" Su Fan commanded urgently.

A ship capable of warping was at least a Level 4 civilization class-c spaceship. Su Fan didn't dare to have the ship activate its Warp Drive to escape immediately.

Because under the enemy's watchful eyes, a ship in the process of warping was a sitting duck. The time it took to initiate would be enough for the opponent to launch several attacks, causing them to lose the chance to escape or counterattack for nothing!

The kongming mothership soared into the sky, quickly distancing itself from the ship that was not far from them.

"Red Queen, what is the size of that ship?" During the escape, Su Fan didn't forget to ask for information about the enemy vessel.

"Please look at the main screen. Due to the close proximity, the optical sensors have captured the appearance of the enemy ship."

"Its volume is slightly smaller than our kongming, but Warp Drive fluctuations can be detected from it. It should be a Level 4 civilization ship," the Red Queen said in a serious tone.

The kongming quickly broke through the planet's atmosphere into space, then flew rapidly away from the enemy ship.

When not using the Warp Drive for spatial jumps, the kongming's maximum speed could reach sub-light speed.

"Red Queen, how far is the enemy from us?" Su Fan asked.

"The opponent seems to have warped in suddenly. They were originally only 3 light-days away from us, but now they are also rapidly moving away from us."

Su Fan was stunned for a moment, then smiled. It seemed the other party was also afraid of a direct confrontation.

At the same time, Prince Tangping was drenched in sweat as he commanded his ship to flee quickly.

"Sally, our luck is truly insane. We actually encountered a ship from the Black Dragon Empire!"

"The Black Dragon Empire's spaceship technology has always been superior to ours, especially in direct combat; we are no match for them," Sally, the beautiful housekeeper, said with a serious expression.

"May the ancestors protect us. I hope the enemy commander is a cautious person, otherwise this ship is as good as scrap!"

Prince Tangping now understood that those two planets of the Silver Horn Race were likely destroyed by this Black Dragon Empire ship.

"That old bastard King Xuan—to be old and not die is to be a thief. I feel like this was his conspiracy!"

"And to think I still called him Uncle. To support the prince he favors to become the Crown Prince, he really stops at nothing!"

Prince Tangping was of the 'lying flat' faction in the Canglan Empire and didn't care about anything, but King Xuan had always been of the ambitious faction. Although he was enfeoffed in the Second Ring, his reach always extended toward the empire's core.

King Xuan favored the Third Prince and poured massive resources into him, hoping he would be named Crown Prince.

Meanwhile, other princes in the Second Ring, aside from a few in the 'lying flat' faction, were mostly ambitious and had invested in different princes.

Therefore, the first thing Prince Tangping thought of was that King Xuan was using this method to weaken the strength of the other princes.

After all, a prince's most important and valuable asset was the class-c spaceship in his hands!

"My Lord, the enemy is also rapidly moving away from us. It seems their commander is very cautious. Our ship might be saved," Sally said with some excitement as she looked at the data on the screen.

"Let me see!" Prince Tangping was also somewhat excited.

"Excellent! Thank the ancestors for their protection!"

Whether it was Su Fan's ship or Prince Tangping's ship, the distance between the two grew further and further apart.

"Su Fan, should we turn around and attack? I feel like they're afraid of us," Xia Feifei said, eager to try.

"Forget it. Our immediate goal isn't to fight a war, but to gather resources."

"War consumes resources. If our kongming mothership gets destroyed by them, how will we gather resources quickly?" Su Fan said with a smile.

"War is not for the sake of fighting; it's for the sake of competing for resources."

"When the odds of winning a battle are fifty-fifty, unless the potential gain reaches a certain level, starting a war could lead to massive losses!"

"Alright," Xia Feifei nodded thoughtfully.

"Let's distance ourselves from the Canglan Empire ship first. Once they warp away, we'll go back. Those Lava Stones are much more worth it than fighting them. Isn't getting them for free better?" the Grand Elder contacted them with a smile.

"Haha! Makes sense. As expected, the Grand Elder is thorough," Su Fan said with a laugh, raising an eyebrow.

...

Far away on the other side, on Prince Tangping's ship.

Watching the Black Dragon Empire ship get further and further away, Prince Tangping's heart finally began to settle.

Of course, he wasn't completely relaxed yet, because this distance was still within the enemy's attack range.

"My Lord, should we tell the other princes about this?" Sally said softly.

"No rush, no rush. Let's wait until we escape their attack range first. Otherwise, if they get desperate and take us out, that would be a tragedy," Prince Tangping said calmly.

"Once we fly a bit further, we'll warp immediately. Then we'll sell this information to King Xuan. Note that the price must not be low!"

"As for the other princes, they can do whatever they want. I'm not their father; why should I give them this information for free!"

Time slowly passed.

Finally, Prince Tangping's ship had traveled far enough. Under the cover of a massive meteorite, it activated its Warp Drive and escaped via warp!
