Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ever since receiving the new mission notification from the system, Liao Ning had been plagued by worries.

Despite her return to the capital planet, Liao Ning knew that, while the Liao family might not openly attack her and Liao Nai, the whereabouts of Liao Xi remained unknown. Furthermore, the lurking presence of Liao Chen, with covetous intentions, added to her apprehension. Safety seemed elusive, and inheriting Liao Nai’s father’s legacy felt like an unattainable dream.

Under this constant state of unease, Liao Ning and her companions finally reached the first destination of their journey back: the transit space station.

In the midst of the chaos that had engulfed Planet Dynasty, interstellar space pirates had begun to exploit the situation. Even though the rebel army had taken control of Planet Dynasty, many royal families and nobles clung to resistance. The repercussions extended to the surrounding planets, as the people sought refuge within the Interstellar Alliance. Refugees could now be found on numerous neighboring small planets.

While Li Xian had refrained from attacking civilians directly, the ravages of war had left no citizen of the Empire untouched. Even the transit space station had become a refuge for many.

Zhou Ling led her group to the heart of the space station, where the welcoming party awaited their arrival.

“It’s been a while! Are you all having a grand adventure?” Su MO greeted them warmly, moving in for a big hug when he saw Zhou Ling.

Zhou Ling, however, swiftly evaded the hug, and Zhou Ye stood her ground, preventing Su MO from getting too close.

An unimpressed Su MO remarked, “I risked my life to come and fetch you. Do you have any idea how perilous it is out here, with refugees and interstellar space pirates running amok? Only a true friend like me would dare to pick you up. Hmph!”

Zhou Ling retorted with a hint of disdain, “It’s no surprise the Su family showed up when there’s a chance to show off. Besides, with this large entourage, your life isn’t in any danger. Even interstellar space pirates would think twice before crossing your path.”

Observing their playful banter, Liao Nings spirits lifted. Although the capital planet still lay ahead, having someone to receive them had brought her a much-needed sense of reassurance.

The airship required refueling, leading to them being accommodated in the guest rooms of the space station.

Just as Liao Ning was about to retire for some rest, Su MO hesitated for a moment before turning to her with a slightly embarrassed look. “Liao Ning, the military has assigned me a mission that requires your assistance.”

“What kind of mission?” Zhou Ling asked cautiously.

After contemplating it for a moment, Su MO explained, “The relationship between the Interstellar Alliance and the Empire is rather delicate right now. The influx of refugees, especially from exceptional races like the elves and mermaids, is becoming prominent. Our military has an interest in them.”

“Considering your previous involvement with them, the higher-ups hope that you can continue to live-stream on behalf of the Interstellar Alliance,” Su MO scratched his head. “Additionally, it’s a way to showcase how highly the military regards you and to demonstrate our purpose in coming to pick you up.

Could you also express your support for the Interstellar Alliance?”

Liao Ning responded with a hint of exasperation, “I served as a consultant for the rebel army and represented the royal family on Planet Empire. Are you certain you want me to now represent the Interstellar Alliance?”

Su MO could only offer a dry laugh in response, understanding that he was leveraging Liao Ning’s popularity to garner support. Nevertheless, he was following orders, as the Su family had been directly instructed to retrieve her.

As the atmosphere grew a bit awkward, Zhou Ling chimed in, “Is your primary reason for being here because you’re my friend?”

Su MO shrugged, his actions having already answered that question. Liao Ning also recognized that the Su family had additional motives for their support.

Acknowledging the situation and Su Mo ts constraints, she conceded, “A friend of Zhou Ling is a friend of mine. I’ll prepare for the live-stream tonight. Do we have the necessary ingredients here?”

“Yes, indeed!” Su Mo’s enthusiasm returned. “The space station has a well-stocked storage center. Ever since I discovered the therapeutic properties of your ancient recipes for mental well-being, every space station has been keeping a supply of raw ingredients. Just let me know your requirements!”

“Alright, I’ll consider what to prepare. Please arrange for the live-stream, and make sure we have the necessary kitchen utensils.”

Liao Ning pondered for a moment and suggested, “Would you like to change into something more official? After all, you’re representing the military as my assistant, and it seems like you’ve fulfilled your mission already.”

“Absolutely not! I’ll go get dressed right away. Well, actually, I’ll start preparing for the live-stream now.”

With those words, Su MO departed, clearly excited about the task ahead.

Suddenly, Liao Ning sensed a lingering gaze at her back. She swiftly turned around but found no one in sight.

In a dimly lit corner, a pair of yellow eyes fixated upon her. “Liao Ning, it appears fate has a way of bringing us together!”
