Fang Er, carrying a bag, pushed open the cabin door of the lounge.
"You refused to disembark with us, and now I'm telling you, the Nuosu King is incredibly hospitable. These days, they've offered all sorts of delicious food and fun things!"
Xi Tong, with her head down, was studying the route while lying on the table.
She hadn't accompanied everyone when they went to the Nuosu Star.
It wasn't that she needed to stay behind on the White Emperor, but the thought of seeing everyone running around naked made her feel a bit awkward.
Upon hearing Fang Er's words, she turned her head and shot him a glare.
"What, you're so eager for me to see those Nuosu people wearing the Emperor's new clothes?"
"Aren't you afraid I'll dump you after seeing them?"
Fang Er's smug expression froze. He awkwardly pushed the bag in his hand towards Xi Tong.
"Fine if you don't want to go, why bring it up!"
"When your master was wrapped around three times at the waist back in the day, you weren't not there to see it..."
Xi Tong shot him another glare.
"Don't mention the past to me! It makes me angry when you do!"
"I've never seen a man who dislikes being a monkey with a long tail!"
Fang Er: .........
"Ahem! Enough of that, quick, look at the good stuff I brought back for you!"
Xi Tong then reached out and opened the bag, only to find it empty, with nothing inside.
"Did you bring me a bag of Nuosu Star air?"
"Use your brainwaves to look!"
Fang Er mysteriously closed the cabin door and locked it.
Seeing this, Xi Tong's face finally showed a hint of a smile.
Her brainwaves extended, looking into the bag.
A faint, almost imperceptible garment lay quietly within.
"Is this what Nuosu people wear?"
"No! My eyes can't see it, but my brainwaves can sense it?"
She picked up the garment from the bag in surprise and examined it closely.
Fang Er pulled up a chair, sat down, and recounted the details of his trip.
"You're saying we can't see this Crystal Silkworm, but the Nuosu people can, and this clothing is the same?"
"That's right, perhaps it's due to differences in physiological structures, or perhaps the Nuosu people's eyesight is superior to ours."
"Wait, I'm going to test it!"
Xi Tong took the garment and left.
The mother ship was equipped with all sorts of testing instruments, lacking neither Earth products nor Atari Star technology.
In less than half an hour, she returned with the garment.
"You guessed right!"
"This crystal silk is unique. It reflects a color that our naked eyes cannot see!"
"If you filter out this color, it's a transparent material!"
Fang Er nodded again. Perhaps this was the reason the Nuosu people could face everyone so calmly.
Because they had no idea that, in others' eyes, they were naked...
Hearing a rustling sound behind him, he turned to see Xi Tong already wearing the garment.
Even though they were an old couple, the Xi Tong before him gave him a different feeling.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it looks so good!"
"Is the clothing good-looking, or is the person good-looking?"
"Nonsense, can I see this clothing? Of course, the person is good-looking!"
"Oh, Master Er's mouth is sweet today?"
"You don't understand this. Do you know what it means to be a couple and live a life together?"
Xi Tong smiled at this. Without a word, she walked to the table, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote down the six characters: "couple, live a life."
Then, she casually crossed out four of them.
"Master Er, is this what it means?"
"Hahahaha, as expected, you are my confidante, deeply understanding my heart!"
"No, no, no, you need to understand my heart!"
...............
The spacecraft traveled through the vast expanse of space, terrifying energy spewing from the front of the ship, carving a wormhole in the void. Then, it plunged in, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared in an unfamiliar area of space.
The operator glanced at the position on the star chart and then repeated the same action.
Carve a wormhole, plunge in...
Carve a wormhole, plunge in...
Space travel, day and night are indistinguishable, relying solely on the ship's systems to confirm the time.
Until one day, just as the White Emperor completed a jump, a series of alarm sounds blared from the control panel.
"Warning! Warning! Incoming attack from an unknown source!"
"Defense system activated!"
"All crew members, prepare for collision!"
As the voice faded, shrill alarms rang out throughout the cabin.
At this moment, whether it was Li Shimin playing mahjong or Li Xiaogong practicing fire-starting, everyone returned to their seats and secured themselves with seatbelts.
Fang Er's brows furrowed into a knot. But before he could ask, he saw a dazzling ball of light collide with the hull of the White Emperor from the right.
"Boom!~"
As the explosion sounded, the hull vibrated violently.
"Warning! Defensive shield energy loss 43%, please replenish immediately!"
"Warning! Right flank docking bay damaged!"
"Warning! Energy line No. 2358 damaged, please repair immediately!"
"Warning! ............."
The continuous impact feedback made Fang Er's face turn pale with shock.
After the White Emperor was modified by Xi Tong, it hadn't suffered such severe damage when it withstood the attack of the planet-destroying cannon.
What was this mysterious attack from outside?
"Conduct rapid inspection, adjust route!"
"Activate all detection methods, and find out where this attack is coming from!"
Being hit without retaliating was not Fang Er's style. Without hesitation, he issued a series of orders.
Wang Xuance, Ge Luoyang, Xue Rengui, and others immediately got busy.
Wei Zhien Tian and Jin Wu Tu An, along with a group of researchers selected from the research institute, rushed to the damaged parts of the spacecraft to carry out repairs as much as possible.
Xi Tong sat at the control console, her hands flying across the control screen, moving so fast they were a blur.
Detection waves spread out from the White Emperor in all directions.
In just a few dozen seconds, the results were astonishing.
