"If you promise, you can't go back on your word!"
The bald man quickly helped Lu Mingming move her luggage into the flying vehicle, carrying it inside as if afraid she would hesitate again and decide not to go. He had nowhere to turn to for comfort if that happened.
"It's too much trouble for you to do all this..."
Lu Mingming felt genuinely embarrassed by the bald man's helpfulness, silently noting this kindness in her heart.
The flying vehicle sped to the docking port, where a massive luxury starship was docked – the same one she had met him on for the first time.

On the luxurious cruise ship, shirtless strongmen were slowly moving wooden crates from land, stacking them several meters high, crate after crate.
"Are those the goods you intend to sell or trade?"
Lu Mingming asked curiously, as this was her first encounter with a Star Sea fleet.
"Yes, haha."
Upon hearing this, the bald man quickly turned away, unwilling to delve deeper into the topic. He called out to the crew on the starship, "Quick, get a few people to help streamer Mingming with her luggage, and find some bright ones to tidy up the VIP room!"
The crew stopped their work and exchanged glances. After a second of silence, they erupted in a thunderous cheer, drawing the attention of other merchant teams.
They scrambled down from the ship, burly men hoisting bags of luggage and the remaining three boxes of tea, effortlessly bringing them onto the magnificent giant vessel. They even reached out to take Lu Mingming's backpack.
"No, no, I can manage this one. There's a little cub inside."
Lu Mingming declined and then said to the bald man,
"You've been too hospitable, and I don't quite know how to repay you. For the remaining time, let's just interact as usual."

"You are our honored guest, this is how we should treat you."
The bald man didn't see anything wrong with his crew's actions. His brothers in the pirate crew were all straightforward; they helped directly without any pretense.
As they were talking, Lu Yan disembarked from the flying vehicle from another direction.
The little cub displayed a mature and steady demeanor unbefitting his age, like a small adult. The soft flesh on the sides of his cheeks made one’s maternal instincts surge, wanting to reach out and tease him.
Lu Mingming's fingers twitched slightly, then she quietly rested them by her legs, abandoning the impulse.
It was a shame the cub had an adult soul within his body. If she acted on it, wouldn't that be considered improper?
Lu Yan turned his head.
Lu Yan: ?
Once aboard the ship, the bald man invited Lu Mingming to tour the interior of the giant vessel, his pride evident in his words: "Our fleet is the most powerful in the Star Sea trade. Streamer Mingming, you can tell from our materials..."
He pointed to the floor. "The floor tiles are all made of marble, with pure gold inlaid around each piece. Those paintings over there are by the master Misha from 500 years ago..."

"In the next few days, I'll have the scouts go look for any noble ships we can plunder~"
Inside the room.
Finally having her own private space, Lu Mingming happily rolled around on the five-meter-wide soft bed, burying her face in the thick bedding to relax her mind.
This was too blissful, it felt like a dream come true!
Ever since she woke up in the interstellar world, she had been constantly occupied by the little cubs and various matters. It was rare to get any complete rest, and now she didn't have to worry about any of that.
Lu Mingming got up and brewed herself a cup of tea. The fragrant aroma of the hot tea wafted towards her, dispelling her heavy thoughts and bringing a sense of calm.
She buried herself in the covers and opened the star network.
Everyone who had replied before had messaged back. Lu Mingming scrolled through them one by one, and after some hesitation, she couldn't resist clicking on Orlanar's dialogue box.
A small green light was lit next to the other party's nickname, indicating they were online.
Orlanar had only sent a greeting in the afternoon.

【Orlanar: Where are you now? I'll come pick you up immediately.】
After the dialogue box showed "read," Lu Mingming put her hand to her forehead, contemplating how to reply.
The nickname at the top of the screen instantly changed to "typing," and the vibration sound kept ringing.
【Orlanar: Did you really find out...】
【Orlanar: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to deceive you. I did leave the alliance because of a hereditary genetic disease. Strangely, as long as I stay by your side, my mental power stabilizes significantly, and over a long period, it slowly evolves into a sense of happiness.】
【Orlanar: This sense of happiness has made me conflicted about how to confess to you. I wondered if you would be afraid of the rumored dark and irritable heir of the alliance, and thus our relationship could not continue.
Therefore, I deliberately hid my secret all along... I'm very sorry. If you are still willing to know me, I want to tell you everything about me, both my strengths and my flaws, and my thoughts that remain in my heart.】
