"Um... this..." Ziyu didn't know what to say for a moment, and after a long pause, finally said, "Alright, let's go check out Earth."
Ziyu piloted the mech and dove into the atmosphere. Ziyu didn't slow down, but the high temperatures couldn't affect Ziyu's Battle Armor at all.
"In this remote place, you, as a princess, need to learn to adapt," Ziyu joked. "Our culture is different from yours, so please understand."
What Ziyu feared most was that expressing friendliness on Earth could be seen as a provocation on Xia Yun's planet, which would lead to misunderstandings.
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do," Xia Yun replied succinctly, smiling at Ziyu.
"Alright then..." Ziyu arrived at the stratosphere, where the organization's spaceship was hidden.
"Ziyu requests entry," Ziyu sent a signal to the spaceship.
Soon, a door opened on the spaceship, revealing its interior structure.
A normal sky suddenly had a door appear; Xia Yun's eyes lit up as she quickly checked her Intelligence and realized that there was indeed a big fellow hidden here.
"Ziyu? Where have you been hiding for two weeks? We were almost going crazy, did you know..." Number 47 saw Ziyu and started scolding, but upon seeing Xia Yun beside her, immediately became alert.
"Who are you? Ziyu, didn't we say that no one can know about this place?"
"Um... strictly speaking, she doesn't count as a person on Earth..." Ziyu chuckled, but when he caught sight of Xia Yun's murderous glare, he quickly stopped joking. "Let me introduce you."
Ziyu addressed everyone present: "This is my achievement over the past two weeks, Qutian Star Princess, our external aid, Miss Xia Yun."
Xia Yun politely performed a bow, which is a gesture from Earth.
After all, before the reinforcements arrived, Xia Yun represented the face of Qutian Star, and she was able to maintain proper etiquette.
"Hey..." Ziyu nudged Xia Yun with her arm. "How about coming to my house..."
"Ah? Why?" Xia Yun was confused; she had just arrived here.
"Uh... it's nothing, let's go." Ziyu chuckled and pulled Xia Yun back to the mech, turning back to say, "I'm leaving with her; you all take your time chatting. The problem will be resolved."
The reason Ziyu took Xia Yun away was simple: so far, Xia Yun was the first alien who could communicate with Earth Humans and resembled them in appearance. The crew on the spaceship found her fascinating. In fact, just a moment ago, the people on the ship looked at Xia Yun not with friendly or kind expressions but rather with the gaze one would have when observing a rare animal.
Ziyu would not allow this, not only because Xia Yun was a princess but also because Xia Yun was Xia Yun.
Ziyu dove down, getting closer to the Starry Ocean.
"It actually should look good..." Ziyu pouted. "But this thing really can't exist on Earth."
Ziyu was referring to the Starry Ocean.
"It is indeed nice... leaving it might create a scenic view..." Xia Yun said with interest as she looked below. "How about we leave this scene underwater? Once everything is over and this wormhole closes, we can simulate a starry sky underwater."
"Good suggestion." Ziyu nodded. "Think of a name."
"Starry Ocean; let's call it Starlit Sea." Xia Yun smiled.
~~~~~~~~~~~
A Certain City, Ziyu's Residence.
Ziyu has been missing for two weeks, and Ye Ling has been very worried every day, unable to contact Ziyu.
Usually, even when Ziyu goes out, there is frequent communication, but this time, two weeks have passed without a word.
“Ye Ling, I'm back~~~~~” The small speaker placed in the room shared by Ziyu and Ye Ling suddenly sounded.
Ye Ling snapped to attention, staring blankly at the speaker.
“You're not mistaken, it's me, Ziyu... Sorry for not contacting you for two weeks, but I really couldn't. I'll explain everything in detail when I get back~” Ziyu's voice was cheerful.
“Okay... okay... I'll be waiting for you.” Ye Ling patted the pillow beside her, a smile creeping onto her face.
Five minutes later.
“I’m back.” The sound of Ziyu's mech landing was controlled to be very quiet; only after getting out did Ziyu call out.
“I’m back.” As soon as Ziyu entered the door, Ye Ling rushed over.
“Hey... hey... don’t do that, we have a guest.” Ziyu said with a smile.
Ye Ling turned her head to look behind Ziyu, and a beautiful girl came into view, causing the smile on Ye Ling's face to instantly fade.
"Um... let's go inside and have a good talk," Ziyu said with a chuckle.
"Well, Xia Yun, you can rest here for a bit, just... just relax. I need to sort out some things with Ye Ling..." After settling Xia Yun in the living room, Ziyu pushed Ye Ling back into the bedroom.
"Let me put it this way..." Ziyu explained the whole situation, then added, "That's how it is. What can I do about it?"
Ye Ling looked at Ziyu with a "who believes that?" expression.
"Alright, soon the alien reinforcements will arrive, and then you'll know the truth..." Ziyu felt helpless.
Xia Yun had always been a sensitive topic between Ziyu and Ye Ling.
Ye Ling didn't actually reject the past version of Xia Yun, but since Xia Yun had been involved with her man, it was hard to completely ignore that she was a woman.
However, fortunately, this Xia Yun was not the same as that Xia Yun.
"Okay, I understand," Ye Ling smiled again and walked out of the room.
"Welcome to Earth!" Ye Ling said with a smile as she walked into the living room and sat down next to Xia Yun.
Fortunately, the women did not feel any barriers due to their different backgrounds... The two girls quickly hit it off, and Ziyu was glad to have less to worry about as she began studying the Battle Armor.
"Sir, Nuclear Molecular Technology is now available for free use." When they were outside, Zero had not mentioned this matter at all.
Zero had been simulating and analyzing Nuclear Molecular Technology, and it had finally completed its improvements and could be used directly.
"Alright, how many can we make if the mecha is designed as Battle Armor?" Ziyu asked. In fact, the mecha was not particularly useful to Ziyu; it was not as flexible or convenient as Battle Armor...
"An estimated 15 sets," Zero replied.
"Then let's proceed... By the way, unify the technology of the new Battle Armor with the technology of the Battle Armor I have already completed, using all the latest advancements."
The Missile system, Nuclear Propulsion system, and other components installed on Ziyu's mecha were not present on Ziyu's previous Battle Armor. Ziyu hoped to upgrade this Battle Armor.
"Understood. The previous Battle Armor only needs improvements. Considering that you might need it soon, we will prioritize this."
Ziyu had equipped Zero with comprehensive hardware, allowing for fully automated production.
~~~~~~~~~·
Two hours later.
"Alright, our people from the planet have arrived," Xia Yun said as she approached Ziyu. Ye Ling followed her.
"I want to go take a look too," Ye Ling said.
