Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality

Chapter 439 Getting Lost

get lost.

Before the news is announced by the intelligent brain program, many intelligent people come to this pessimistic conclusion after they see the star chart through the open skylight of the starship.

Of course, the more tragic is—

The moment they confirm that they have gotten lost, the female earth cultivator officially takes over the starship. Upon this, Gaut Sutherland clenches his fists.

The starship’s defection is evident. That artificial intelligence has gained an independent consciousness makes the “antivirus” technicians feel ashamed to death. But unlike these naive technicians, Gaut Sutherland is a cold-blooded alliance soldier. He knows clearly that the earthlings will kill them once everything is laid bare.

For only the dead can keep the secret.

This saying is applicable to the whole universe.

He has been thinking about when the female earth cultivator will dispose of them. Because he has the idea in his heart, Gaut Sutherland becomes silent.

Only when he glimpses Colin Weir, who is calm at the moment, does Gaut Sutherland become furious. He is sure that such a good-for-nothing of the Weir family must have defected like the artificial intelligence program that has an independent consciousness. Coward! Traitor!

Bah, traitor! A disgrace to his family!

Gaut Sutherland spits at Colin’s back.

Colin Weir turns a blind eye and adjusts the position of the family badge attached to the lower left of his collar. Similar to the hibiscus on the earth, it’s an alien flower which blooms near the water on the Caesar Star every December.

The gorgeous flowers are not dignified, though beautiful, so they are not appreciated by such a time-honored noble family as the Sutherland’s who become famous due to their military merit. In contrast, the history of the Weir family is just like those beautiful but not graceful flowers. Therefore, the Weir’s are looked down upon by the Sutherland’s.

Colin Weir used to hate his ancestors when he was a child. However, when he grows up, he realizes that unlike the military family of Sutherland, the Weir family with the “Waterside Attraction” as their family badge has their unique way of survival.

You can’t choose what family you are born into, but you can choose to make your life better.

Colin Weir believes that his choice this time is definitely the riskiest one in his life but with the highest possible return on investment. Just imagine the feat of the “Waterside Attraction” which multiplies all over the Caesar Star and even throughout the Alpha Alliance as a whole in the cold winter!

Colin Weir claps his hands. When everyone looks at him, he smiles gracefully.

“It’s time for dinner.”

Synthetic nutrients are served whose ingredients are hard to make out. The soldiers of the Alpha Alliance used to have this kind of food, since its formula allowed their bodies to absorb nutrients and calories as much as possible.

However, Gaut Sutherland is not enjoying the food at the moment.

This is because he is accustomed to a gastronomical culture which the Alpha Alliance has imported from the earth after they invaded it. In particular, Huaxia cuisine has become popular all over the Alpha Alliance due to its complicated processing of food and the use of various ingredients.

The cuisine has prevailed for three hundred years. Gaut Sutherland has had Huaxia dishes from time to time since he was born. Even when stationed on the earth, he has never eaten these synthetic nutrients, which he subconsciously regards as the food for the inferior.

Colin Weir takes a glance at everyone’s expressions. He knows too well how they feel.

These well-fed people!

Since they are close to the space station of the earth, the Rank One member star will of course court them. It is said that personnel of the Alliance working in the space station of the earth can enjoy gourmet foods, including hairy crabs growing in the Dongting Lake, Yinhao tea planted on Mount Jun, mellow wine stored in the cellar before the war and precious fruits and vegetables that are naturally ripened. These foods are cooked or prepared by eminent chefs.

It’s a pity that the one in charge of the starship now shows no mercy on the vampires who once crushed the earth.

The alliance soldiers curse, but have to gulp down the nutrients because of hunger. As Colin Weir watches the scene, he suddenly feels that the blow dealt on Gaut Sutherland is meaningless.

In contrast, in the central control area separated by aisles, some people are having a warm meal at this time, aren’t they?

Colin Weir is somehow envious.

What he envies is not the delicate food… he doesn’t want to confess his tender feelings.

…

Colin Weir is right. In the room full of precision instruments that nobody could enter without admission, a warm dinner is underway. Though the starship floats among the stars, which means they are living in the shimmering rays amid the dark universe, Lin Luoran still insists on having dinner between 18:00 and 19:00 Earth Time.

Today she cooks by herself again, obviously in a good mood.

Due to the cyan little fox’s messing around, Lin Luoran doesn’t have much time to make complicated dishes. She just takes out the monster meat stored in space and makes a fried steak for everyone. It is unknown whether beef is used, but the meat is mellow and the broccoli dotted on the white porcelain plate looks pleasing. The meal is perfect with the fruit wine which warms everyone’s body.

The cyan little fox occupies a seat and finishes two servings of steak. It also finds fault with the spirit wine brewed by Lin Luoran.

Lin Luoran is convinced that this imp hasn’t drunk much for years, but why is it so picky? In its opinion, the mango-flavored spirit wine is too sweet, peach-flavored sour, grape-flavored too showy. Well, she wishes she could seal up its mouth!

She loves the little fox which couldn’t talk!

Han Weiya cuts the steak into small pieces and nibbles with her face shrouded in a gauze cap. She looks awkward. The cyan fox tries to speak up several times but is stopped by Lin Luoran with a look.

It will probably take a long time before everyone gets along. For Lin Luoran, she’s not at ease staying with someone obsessed with herself.

But after all, Han Weiya is merely a teenage girl. When Lin Luoran was her age, she was studying in high school, wasn’t she? Han Weiya is in the years when she will get anxious about a pimple on her face. She must have a hard time living with so many people.

The problem is compounded by the space jump, because of which Han Weiya has to spend a long time on this starship.

“Sorry, but you will be separated from your parents for some time.”

Han Weiya is taken aback before she realizes that Lin Luoran is talking to her.

No matter how willful she is, she has come to understand that her original thought was too naive once she saw by herself how Lin Luoran fought the entire starship.

She knows sincerity is very important to interpersonal relationships. It’s an idea instilled in her by her father as an interstellar businessman.

However, her father also said that the principle works only when the difference between the two parties is not too great. Since she’s not on a par with the powerful Lin Luoran, why should Lin appreciate her sincerity?

Only when she hears the cyan fox coughing does she realize that Lin Luoran is waiting for her reply. “No… I chose it myself.” Han Weiya has come to herself.

Lin Luoran nods. “Don’t worry. After disposing of these alliance soldiers, we will find our way to the normal orbit as soon as possible.”

The Galaxy is like a flat plate with a diameter of about 100,000 light-years, and the solar system is about 26,000 light-years from the galactic center. After several consecutive jumps, the “Alpha-Edward” starship can no longer remain on the normal orbit. Its precise positioning hasn’t been figured out by Xiaozhi. It’s estimated that the starship isn’t heading to the galactic center but is leaping to another section of the “plate” beyond the reach of the Alpha Alliance. It’s no surprise, for the Galaxy is vast and the Alpha Alliance occupies only a part of it.

Knowing that Lin Luoran will deal with the alliance soldiers on the starship, the siblings of the Ma family have confidence in her, but Han Weiya is a bit curious about what is to come.

The innocent girl doesn’t think of killing the people to keep the secret, but she still intuitively believes that just letting them go will cause a lot of trouble.

On the faraway earth, a guest has travelled a long distance to meet Mr. Pang after the latter sent a message to the former nearly two weeks ago.

How old is the person in front of him? Mr. Pang can’t tell. He only remembers what the person used to look like when he himself received sponsorship from the person as a teenager. The person hasn’t changed at all.

“Where is she?”

Mr. Pang’s vest is soaked with sweat.

“Two days ago, the starship intercepted by Lin… Mortal Heart Fairy, together with the reinforcements and the investigation team sent by the Alliance, was missing.”
