Chapter 1028: Spaceship

“…”

Loulan Lin was lost for words, but then she found it understandable, as she recalled that the young man was a Celestial’s disciple, and the champion of the Universe Geniuses’ Contest.

However, was it really the best time to discuss that?

“Let’s go to that planet and ask around. We must inform my family, or my brother may really end up in danger…” Loulan Lin seemed worried.

Su Ping stopped her from leaving the protection of the divine power shield that the bloody phoenix had set for them. “Don’t panic. Your brother will be safe for now; it’s very hard for an Ascendant to kill a peer. Your brother can keep himself safe if he’s in danger. Besides, it’s very unlikely for two Ascendants to have shown up to ambush him.”

Loulan Lin asked suspiciously, “Why are you so sure?”

“I’ve seen plenty of Ascendant cultivators.” Su Ping let go of her hand and stared at the planet before them. It was then that, while still protected by the golden shield, they penetrated the planet’s atmosphere and landed with ease.

Su Ping’s senses probed all over, soon covering a continent. There weren’t many seas on the planet and most lands were desolate; however, there were some primitive buildings. The planet seemed to have no connections to the Federation, just like the Blue Planet in the past; that explained why they couldn’t be located.

“We’ll be in trouble if this is a barbaric planet.”

Su Ping frowned. He had in fact traveled back and forth with the Prime Sky Mirror in order to bewilder his enemy. Although the assassins couldn’t catch up with them for the moment, the young pair would still be in danger if they stayed for too long.

Soon, the two of them landed in an enormous city.

That megalopolis was humongous and primitive. Some obsolete cannons had been set in the city; however, several carefully-structured cannons which carried devastating auras could be found in the corners of the city. Su Ping scanned them with his watch and immediately found their information.

They were popular Star State hot weapons found in the Federation.

A mix of primitive and modern… Has this planet just been accepted by the Federation??Su Ping’s eyes glittered. The Federation had thus far been expanding every year. Had they escaped to the border of the Golden Star Zone?

Su Ping scanned the desolate lands outside the city; there were plenty of beasts over there, but the strongest among them barely reached the Void State.

The strongest human being in the city was in the Fate State. Su Ping immediately flashed to meet him.

Enshrouded in golden divine power, Loulan Lin and Su Ping landed in front of a building made of hideous bones. Su Ping released some of his aura, shocking the nearby warriors. An old man was at the moment cultivating inside the building; he opened his eyes in shock and went outside.

The old man’s pupils shrank the moment he saw the handsome pair in golden light. He then asked in a shivering voice, “W-Who are you?”

Su Ping felt relieved upon hearing that the elder was speaking in the Common Tongue. He then asked, “What’s the name of your planet? Where is the strongest person in the city and what is their cultivation?”

The old man was stunned by the sudden burst of questions. He asked suspiciously, “Are you from the Federation? This planet is called Wuqi. Our sovereign is the Continental King; he’s far stronger than me, but I’m unaware of his cultivation.”

“Where is he right now? Do you have a spaceship?” asked Su Ping again.

“The Continental King is in the kingdom up north. I’ve never seen a spaceship before.”

The old man hesitated. He felt an even greater pressure from those strangers—when comparing how he felt when interacting with the Continental King—so he didn’t dare lie. Still, he was also panicking, wondering why experts of the Federation would pay them a visit.

“The north?”

Su Ping raised his head and looked, vaguely detecting a powerful aura somewhere up north. He nodded, then immediately took Loulan Lin to the northern region.

The pressure abated as Su Ping and Loulan Lin vanished. The old man felt utterly exhausted, as if having just crawled out of mud.

“Will there be a disaster?” the old man mumbled.

“The Wuqi Planet…” Su Ping searched for it in the map on his watch. Soon, he located the planet, finding that it wasn’t at the border of the Golden Star Zone, but in a remote planetary system; they would need to travel for half a day to reach the nearest tier-4 galaxy using the Prime Sky Mirror.

Since this planet is connected to the Federation, it’s bound to have spaceships. It seems that the place is too underdeveloped and barren, probably just a lousy tier-5 planet,?Su Ping thought.

Loulan Lin stood next to Su Ping without uttering a single word. She had planned to deal with the situation, but then felt safe and reassured after seeing how skillfully Su Ping had handled the whole situation.

Soon, after space jumping with the Prime Sky Mirror, Su Ping appeared on the other side of the planet, immediately detecting a powerful aura somewhere.

He spread out his senses and saw a prosperous planet. The aura was right at the center of the kingdom; there were countless cities and towns around said energy signature. None of the beasts dared to step into the range covered by the aura; they merely stayed in the wilderness further away.

“He’s in the advanced phase of the Star State. Not too bad,” Su Ping mumbled and moved towards him.

Inside a prosperous city located in the very center of the kingdom—Su Ping and Loulan Lin suddenly appeared inside a building made of dragon bones. The barriers set on the place didn’t hinder them in the slightest; after all, the Prime Sky Mirror was an Ascendant treasure which enabled traveling through the void. It couldn’t be stopped by those minor barriers.

“Who’s there?!”

In front of them was a spacious bedroom, in which three girls and a brawny man were engaged in heated physical communication.

Su Ping and Loulan Lin’s sudden arrival shocked the brawny man; the aura he released had almost killed the beautiful women around him.

Near Su Ping—Loulan Lin was stunned for a moment when she saw the live po**. She blushed, then spat and looked away. “Let them put on their clothes!”

Su Ping pulled the curtain with his power and covered the brawny man, leaving only his head exposed. He asked, “Are you the Continental King of this planet?”

The man tried to break free, but the feeble curtain had somehow become extremely tensile, seemingly containing some sort of laws which prevented his escape. He asked in shock, “Are you from the Federation?”

“Yes. Our spaceship is broken and we need a new one. We’re heading to the Blue Castle Planetary System which is not too far,” said Su Ping.

The brawny man struggled but to no avail. Feeling frustrated, he said, “We’re under the protection of federal laws. This is robbery!”

“So, do you want to die?”

Su Ping had no time to explain, as he was in a hurry. If the Ascendant pet tracked them all the way there, it could destroy the entire planet with one breath.

The brawny man realized that the strangers were most likely robbers. Still, if he got killed, who else on the planet could find the murderers to exact justice on his behalf? And what about law enforcers of the Federation? When would they ever come?

He calmed down and immediately said, “I can give you a spaceship for free.”

“We have the money. Don’t worry, we’ll pay for it,” said Su Ping, “Take us to the spaceship right now.”

“Okay,” said the brawny man, secretly relieved to hear that they were willing to pay for the spaceship. He didn’t think that the two strangers were the ferocious kind, or else they would have killed him and kept all the loot for themselves.

They might have even had the ability to destroy the planet.

Having suppressed him that easily, they were undoubtedly Star Lords, and there might even be experts who could reign over the Blue Castle’s Solar System!

“This way, please.”

The brawny man rose and put on a robe, which helped in covering the curtain tying him up; he led the way at the front, while Su Ping and Loulan Lin followed right behind him.

Loulan Lin glanced at the room, only to find that the women on the bed were still shivering in their birthday suits. She looked at Su Ping angrily. “Didn’t I ask you to put some clothes on them? Why is he the only person with clothes on?”

“I’m fine with them being naked; I only offered to dress him up for your sake,” replied Su Ping.

Loulan Lin was almost infuriated to death, but there was nothing else she could say.

Soon after, the pair was led by the brawny man and headed toward an enclosed port. Su Ping immediately detected a spaceship in the port. Right after entering, Su Ping scanned it and found both model and information related to the spaceship. It was a truly old model, but it was still spaceworthy, as it could still perform space jumps.

The distance is so short, yet the journey will take half an hour. What super-short jumps.?Su Ping shook his head and sighed, but he could only deal with it for the moment.

“Is this your most advanced spaceship?”

“It is our only spaceship. Our backup spaceship is still under maintenance,” said the brawny man in all honesty.

“Fine. My lady, go on and pay for it.” Su Ping could only accept the situation.

Loulan Lin glanced at him, but she didn’t really mind paying. Besides, the spaceship was so cheap her daily allowance could already cover it.

Once paid, the brawny man was completely relieved. He then said, “You’re free to sack the workers on the vessel if you don’t need them.”

“Okay.” Su Ping boarded the spaceship; all the staff running the ship were in the Fate State; he glanced and saw five of them in total. He asked, “Which one of them is the pilot?”

“Me.”

A seemingly dutiful and innocent young man stood up.

“Okay. You’ll stay; the rest of you may leave.” Su Ping fired the rest of the workers.

All the others were stunned. They could only leave in frustration and slowly walk to the door.

“My lord, I’m the spaceship’s maintenance engineer. I’ve worked here for years,” said a short old man who was unwilling to leave.

Su Ping stared at him for a while and said, “Okay, you can stay. You’ll repair the spaceship if anything goes wrong.”

The old man was delighted, so he was quick to express his gratitude.”Thank you, my lord.”
