Capítulo 737: Chapter 739: Leave Together
“I will become beautiful.”
Fu Yunhe knew that Nian Shutong was talking about something else; she would be fine, wouldn’t hurt, and wouldn’t let him worry.
“Actually, you look pretty good this way too.”
Fu Yunhe looked at Nian Shutong and continued, “I’m about to go to the battlefield, leaving a wife at home who is both powerful and beautiful. I worry a lot.”
“This is much better.”
Nian Shutong turned around, pointing a finger at Fu Yunhe, “Are you implying that I’m so ugly it’s safer?”
“Um? Who said that? Did someone say that?”
Fu Yunhe pretended to look around left and right, searching the surroundings.
Nian Shutong slapped his head and pointed to the bed, “Sit down and we’ll talk.”
Fu Yunhe looked at the bed and sighed, “I guess I can only sit on the bed.”
Nian Shutong asked cheerfully, “What else did you have in mind?”
“Nothing, don’t overthink it.”
The two of them sat on the bed, talking about the recent events.
“You’ve already seen what happened to me, leveled up, left with some sequelae, but I’ll recover. What about you? You just came back directly?”
Fu Yunhe turned to look at Nian Shutong, speaking with a bit of affection, “I couldn’t contact you, so I came back.”
“No matter where I am, you’re always my priority.”
“I believe.”
Nian Shutong placed her hand on Fu Yunhe’s cheek and pushed him back, continuing to ask, “When are you going back? When are you heading to the battlefield?”
“I’ll slack off for one day, leave tomorrow morning.”
“I’ll go back, finish all the exams and then leave, probably a week.”
“Oh, I see, then I’ll go with you. Are you happy about that?”
Fu Yunhe turned his head back, beaming, and seriously said, “Happy.”
The two continued to chat, discussing their affairs and jointly planned the future development of Blue Star.
“Knock knock knock,” the sound of knocking on the door.
“Boss, dinner is ready.”
Usually, Master Fan wouldn’t disturb the two of them, but since the Boss said she was hungry, Master Fan worried.
“Got it, Master Fan, we’ll come out now.”
Nian Shutong held Fu Yunhe’s hand, opened the door together, and walked out of the small wooden house towards the dining room.
As soon as they arrived at the dining room, she looked at the neatly seated people and asked humorously, “What, are all of you hungry?”
“Ha Ha always hungry.”
“Rubble’s brain overworks frequently, causing bodily hunger.”
“Mr. Nian, since Master Wali is resting, I’m resting too.”
“Aunt!”
Dou Dou held back her little tears, pursed her lips, and with a stubborn expression, looked at Nian Shutong enduringly.
“Be good, Aunt is fine, just drew a little, it will slowly get better.”
“Okay.”
Dou Dou nodded vigorously, obediently not asking, not crying.
Beside them, the Empress indifferently glanced at Nian Shutong and said, “You two standing together look like a handsome man and…”
“A beast.”
“No, a wild beast is much better looking than this.”
The Empress disagreed with the Emperor’s view beside her, unable to find the right words immediately.
“My goodness! Be careful.”
Xia Tian, who was nearby, nudged the Empress and looked at her disapprovingly, saying, “Don’t bully Sister Nian.”
The Empress, looked at Xia Tian accusing her and then at Dou Dou retracting her little hand. Both big and small were looking at her discontentedly, and she instantly felt wronged.
“Are you being too cautious? Would Shutong really care about such things?”
“And, could I really bully her? She could overturn me with just one finger, alright?”
The Empress had the most direct perception; she could previously see some of the girl’s strength, but now she couldn’t see any at all.
If someone said that Shutong’s strength had completely disappeared, the Empress would be the first to disbelieve it—there was only one reason, she had surpassed the SSS level.
Thinking of this, the Empress could only sigh, “I really am old.”
She had been stuck at the SSS level for a long time; she knew that beyond the SSS level, there were other levels or higher echelons, but for now, they were beyond her reach.
However, the Empress was very rational. The more advanced the cultivation, the clearer she understood that the only one who could help herself was herself.
The road of cultivation was never about journeying together but about advancing alone, relentlessly.
Hearing the words of the Empress, Shutong laughed heartily, “Mrs. Huang is right, I don’t mind at all, and it will indeed be fine. It just takes a bit long. You don’t have to be so careful, being so pitying but afraid to speak.”
“You all make me feel a bit uncomfortable. Just behave as you usually do.”
“Exactly, the magnanimity of the Boss is beyond our imagination; everybody stop holding yourselves back.”
Elder Hua also started talking, but he took a sip of water from the glass in front of him and said in the direction of Shutong, “Boss, this old man thanks you.”
Elder Hua knew that Shutong was finding medicine for him, although he did not know the connection, but there must be one.
“Elder Hua, it has nothing to do with you. This was bound to happen sooner or later, and if it really relates to you, I can only call it my fate.”
Shutong picked up her glass and said to everyone, “Come on, let’s toast. I’ve advanced, signifying our Blue Star is even more secure.”
“Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
Everyone raised their glasses and clinked with Shutong.
Though it was water, they all drank with the boldness and carefreeness of wine.
“Let’s eat. I haven’t had food prepared by Mr. Fan in days, I’ve really been craving it.”
After Shutong picked up her first chopstick, everyone started eating.
This time, no one was treating Shutong with particular care; the group was lively, passing dishes and chatting.
Shutong picked up a rib and put it in Fu Yunhe’s bowl.
“Eat more, it will be a long time before you can have these again.”
Shutong, eating from her own bowl, said, “Later, I’ll ask Master Fan to make you some more easy-to-eat items like buns to store.”
“Eat the same as everyone else usually. In special circumstances, use what’s in your own Space Ring.”
Fu Yunhe nodded; he understood what Shutong meant, as their Space Rings were unrestricted on the Insect Clan Battlefield.
Thinking of this, Shutong felt she should be more cautious.
“After dinner, we’ll go around to each factory to pack some items for you before you leave.”
“Alright, I’ll follow your lead.”
Fu Yunhe’s gaze was tender; she was taking care of him, preparing everything for his departure.
“That’s not enough, you have another week before you leave. I’ll also make some protective items for you.”
Shutong didn’t need a response from Fu Yunhe; she was already planning in her mind what else to make for him.
An SSS-ranked soldier couldn’t just be stuck in the back lines fighting minor members of the Insect Race.
