Chapter 144: Far Away from the Galaxy (Part 2)

On Apocalypse Three Star, in a simple and unadorned small courtyard, Fuweili and Lin Xin were sitting in lounge chairs on the lawn, enjoying a rare leisurely afternoon.

Lin Xin had been on Apocalypse Three Star for many years. The excellence of her genes was reflected not only in her physical condition but also in her lifespan, which made the Earthlings, who had pursued immortal ity for thousands of years, extremely envious.

Calculated, she was already one hundred and thirty-four years old, but she still possessed the tender skin of a young girl and a youthful figure. Sitting next to Fuweili now, they still looked like a mother and daughter.

The age difference of more than twenty years between the two had not shortened because of the increase in their base age; instead, it seemed to have widened. Now it seemed that as a hybrid of Apocalypse and Earthling, Lin Xin would definitely live longer than both.

Fuweili looked at her incomparably beautiful daughter, feeling both proud and slightly jealous. She found such contradictory thoughts amusing even to herself. She didn’t mind it and just treated it as a seasoning of life.

“Xin’er, actually you don’t need to keep me company all the time. You should go out into the outside world more often, and it would be best if you could find a partner. Then someone will take care of you, and I can be at ease.”

Lin Xin looked at the blue-white sun in the sky, which was no bigger than a baby’s fist, and naturally narrowed her eyes, letting her thick eyelashes block most of the light shooting into her eyes.

Hearing Fuweili’s nagging, she pouted and sighed: “Mom, there you go again. Recently you’re always nagging about this. I have no interest in Apocalypse men; they are all like pretty boys, without any manliness.”

Fuweili just smiled when she heard this. Neither the mother nor the daughter really took this conversation to heart; they were just enjoying the warmth of family affection.

Fuweili leaned back on the lawn chair, sighed silently, and said somewhat lonely: “Earth has already upgraded to a Fifth-grade Civilization. Your father must surely know this. Recently he has been very busy, and even daily calls have become much less. Calculated, it has been half a month since he last contacted us.”

Her mother’s consistent affection for her father was what Lin Xin envied most. She comforted Fuweili: “Earth has achieved victory, which is truly a happy thing. You know, this is father’s life’s work.”

Hearing Lin Xin’s words, Fuweili was a little absent-minded. Life’s work?

Regarding this point, Fuweili was not sure. In fact, she had never known what Lin Lei was pursuing? She could be considered the person who understood Lin Lei the most, but precisely because she understood, she doubted. The revival of humanity indeed occupied a large place in Lin Lei’s heart, but it was not enough to occupy his everything.

She murmured: “Your father is a man like a mystery; I have never seen through him. Once on Blue Rain Star, we shared hardships, clearly in danger all the time, but he was always calm and unhurried. After so many years, I can be considered to understand Earthlings, but I find it incredible that Earth could produce a person like your father.”

Lin Xin turned her head in surprise to look at her mother; this was the first time she heard Fuweili mention this: “Mom, since you don’t understand father, why have you been willing to wait for him for so many years? In this case, you can’t even be sure if he really loves you!”

Fuweili was now over one hundred and fifty years old, considered to have reached the middle-aged stage of Apocalypse People. Her youth had passed, and her charm was gradually fading, but at this moment, between her eyebrows and eyes, there was a gentleness that made people feel peaceful, beautiful, and happy when they saw it.

“I don’t know about others, but he loves me, of this I am firmly convinced! I am willing to do this because your father, even with his incomparably powerful abilities, has never used them on me. He respects any choice I make.”

Lin Xin listened to her mother’s gentle words, and unknowingly her heart felt sour. She couldn’t help but call out: “Mother!”

Her voice was filled with emotion and envy.

At this time, outside the simple fence of the lawn, a person walked over, wearing decent clothes, just standing there silently, staring blankly at Fuweili on the lawn, with obsession in his eyes.

Lin Xin had sharp eyes and immediately spotted him. She whispered to Fuweili: “Mom, that guy named David is here again. Look, he’s standing there.”

Fuweili didn’t move at all, still leaning on the chair, and replied softly: “Ignore him. He has been looking like this for almost a century. I have told him clearly I don’t know how many times; I don’t know what evil he has fallen into.”

Alright, David’s century-marathon love was completely denied by Fuweili’s single sentence. Perhaps he was really bewitched, at that one time, on the Galaxy public network, when he saw that blooming Black Rose.

What he looked at every day was not Fuweili herself, but a dreamy rose with Fuweili’s appearance, cold and incomparably beautiful. If Fuweili really agreed to him, after the two lived together for a while, David would instead feel disillusioned due to the large gap with his ideal.

However, today was completely different. On this day, a man dressed in black, who popped up from nowhere, also stood outside the lawn fence, right next to David.

This man also looked at the two women on the lawn, but unlike David’s obsessed gaze, what shot out from his pure black eyes was endless tenderness.

The two stood side by side for a while before David noticed the anomaly beside him. He turned his head wanting to speak to Lin Lei, but when he saw the other’s face clearly, he involuntarily screamed out: “It’s you! You aren’t… aren’t…”

David pointed at Lin Lei with a trembling finger, too shocked to speak.

Lin Lei smiled slightly. He didn’t feel much repulsion toward this man who coveted his wife. Anyone had the freedom of thought, as long as he didn’t make any transgressive actions.

“Not seen for a hundred years, it seems you are still very well.” Lin Lei joked. At least he had the leisure to guard this infatuation. Not bad, purely from having too much to eat and being idle.

David looked like he had seen a ghost, his mouth trembling and unable to speak. After a long while, he suddenly flung his hand and ran away stumbling. One didn’t know if he was scared or shocked.

On this side of the lawn, Lin Xin also noticed the movement opposite. She just looked with the corner of her eye and didn’t see the other’s face clearly for a moment. After seeing David run away in a loss of composure, she turned around in surprise and carefully examined this visitor.

The other party was also examining her with a gaze similar to kindness. Lin Xin felt that this person was very familiar, extremely familiar!

She had only seen this kind of benevolent gaze on her mother before. Appearing in a man’s eyes now made her feel a serious sense of dissonance.

Fuweili felt the anomaly of her daughter beside her. She turned her head, and then saw Lin Lei following Lin Xin’s gaze!

Like a bolt from the blue, the expression on her face immediately froze, blankly maintaining the motion of turning her head.

Since he was discovered, Lin Lei naturally pushed open the fence gate of the small courtyard and walked in.

At this moment, sunlight seemed to follow his figure, walking into the small courtyard at the same time, shining on the lawn, flickering with blue-golden light. It was like a god descending.

He was still so young, while she had already aged; he was still so strong, while her figure had started to lose shape. Fuweili’s mood, after the initial shock, began to produce a sense of inferiority.

This made no joy appear on her face; instead, there was a look of sadness.

Even being a member of a Level 8 Civilization, her degree of evolution couldn’t make her ignore the passage of more than one hundred and thirty years.

Just when Fuweili’s thoughts were complex and difficult to understand, Lin Lei had already walked in front of her. He bent down to look at this Apocalypse woman and said gently: “What’s wrong, Wei? Not welcoming me back?”

The tone unchanged for a hundred years made all of Fuweili’s worries vanish. She suddenly stretched out her arms, hugged Lin Lei’s face and kissed him. Contained within was emotion suppressed for a century.

Lin Lei simply picked Fuweili up from the lawn chair, ignoring the dumbfounded Lin Xin nearby, and responded enthusiastically to Fuweili.

After a long while, Fuweili let go of Lin Lei with a face full of blush, then turned to lean happily in Lin Lei’s arms, saying in a dreamlike tone: “I didn’t expect you to come, Lei. I am very happy, very blissful!”

Lin Lei didn’t have much time. He came here to take Fuweili and Lin Xin away. With the massive Will Fluctuation emanating from him now, the Star Alliance would probably send someone soon.

At a time like this, he didn’t want to entangle with the Star Alliance, so he said directly: “I came this time to take you away! Wei, this time, you should agree to leave with me, right?”

“Leave? Go where? Father!” The one answering was the nearby Lin Xin. Since Lin Lei started communicating with them, she had imagined the scene of meeting her father thousands of times in her mind, but she didn’t expect this scene to come so suddenly.

At this moment, with the real Lin Lei in front of her, Lin Xin felt he was even more shocking than all the images she had seen before!

Lin Xin’s eyesight was also very excellent. She could even vaguely see the strands of energy threads appearing and disappearing around Lin Lei, and could feel the slight distortion of light around Lin Lei!

Even on a spiritual level, she felt an oppression as heavy as a mountain and as deep as an abyss. This oppression was not deliberately targeted but naturally produced, just like an ordinary person feeling small in front of a towering mountain.

Her father was indeed as unfathomable as her mother had said before! What kind of existence was he exactly?

Fuweili didn’t answer Lin Lei’s question but just nodded gently in his arms to show agreement. She now had no burden. She also had no attachments to Apocalypse.

Where one’s heart is at peace is home. Her heart was on Lin Lei. As long as he was there, it didn’t matter where they went!

Lin Lei still underestimated the efficiency of the Star Alliance. Just at this moment, a conventional Watcher Warrior of the Star Alliance had already arrived at Apocalypse Three Star.

Outside the lawn, an outstanding Aostarian, exuding a noble aura, suddenly appeared there.

This was actually Yan Qingming, Yan Siyu’s brother, the young Aostarian man who had been working hard to enter the Star Alliance more than a hundred years ago. Now he had fulfilled his wish.

When he saw Lin Lei’s appearance, he was obviously shocked as well. He immediately equipped the black Crystallized Mecha.

A fierce battle was inevitable!
