The opponentâs heart suddenly sank, decisively retreating to create distance, then smiled and said.
"I knew I wasnât wrong, you really are an expert. Who exactly are you? State your name."
Su Ming looked at the An Ruoxue before him, let out a small sigh, then reached up to slowly remove the hood and the cover from his face, revealing his hidden appearance.
"Su Ming!"
At the instant An Ruoxue saw Su Mingâs appearance, her sapphire eyes instantly lit up. Delight surged like a tidal wave in her heart, her face breaking into a radiant smile as she threw herself at him, arms tightly wrapping around Su Ming.
Immediately, a faint fragrance and the sensation of softness startled Su Ming, sending ripples through his mind.
He didnât expect the reaction to be so intense, awkwardly speaking to An Ruoxue.
"Quick, let go!"
"No way! Chuyu is here anyway, what are you afraid of?"
An Ruoxue replied playfully, holding on tighter.
Su Ming said in exasperation.
"Come on, stop fooling around. If someone sees, Iâm finished."
"Alright."
Upon hearing Su Mingâs words, An Ruoxue reluctantly released her grip.
"Whew~"
Su Ming breathed a small sigh of relief.
"Su Ming, this isnât the place to talk. Come back to the room with me!"
An Ruoxue looked at Su Ming happily and said.
"Not going."
As soon as Su Ming heard An Ruoxueâs suggestion to go to the room, he refused immediately without thinking.
"Then to your room."
An Ruoxue wasnât angry but instead countered with a laugh and said.
"Forget it, letâs go to your place."
Su Ming replied with a face full of black lines.
"Thatâs more like it, come with me!"
An Ruoxue said, chuckling.
Su Ming donned the cover again and followed An Ruoxue.
A short while later, An Ruoxue brought Su Ming through layers of guards to the door of her room.
She reached out to open the door, smiling as she said.
"Come in."
Su Ming didnât stand on ceremony, walking straight inside.
An Ruoxueâs room was not very large, but it was decorated in a very elegant manner, within a pure white series, and the furniture in the room was also very tasteful, presenting a very warm atmosphere.
"Oh my, didnât expect us to meet here."
An Ruoxue said with a smile while closing the door and locking it.
"How can you say that? A princess running off to the Federation as an JD, arenât you ashamed?"
Su Ming interjected without good humor, teasing.
"Donât accuse me, Iâm not an JD. I wouldnât do such things, I was just seeking refuge, and taking the opportunity to study and learn over there."
An Ruoxue quickly explained to Su Ming.
Hearing An Ruoxueâs words, Su Ming immediately understood. She hadnât stolen the Federationâs secrets, but was studying and learning, just as he had suspected. An Ruoxue wasnât that kind of person, so he said.
"Then when trouble came, why didnât you let me know?"
"How could I dare to tell you? Youâre a Federation Admiral, a candidate for General, the future General. Youâre way out of my league."
An Ruoxue retorted playfully.
"Speak properly."
Su Mingâs mouth twitched as he said.
"How am I not speaking properly? But you, a Federation Admiral mingling with a bunch of primitives, posing as a rebel, if it gets out, I bet itâll be hilarious."
An Ruoxue was laughing too hard to close her mouth.
"Donât talk nonsense, I had no other choice."
Su Ming said with a dark face.
"No other choice? Didnât you come especially to find me?"
An Ruoxue asked curiously.
"No, I was in the Tidal Star Sea being chased by VI Type Chilami, fell into a black hole, and ended up here."
Su Ming explained helplessly.
"Wow, very typical of you! Being chased by VI Type Chilami, falling into a black hole, and surviving, thatâs really impressive!"
"Impressive nothing, almost lost my life."
"No way, Iâve been keeping tabs on you. Didnât the Federation say they found you and sent you back to recuperate? Turns out it was all a smoke bomb."
An Ruoxue suddenly remarked.
"Is that what the Federation announced?"
Su Ming was also very surprised.
"Would I lie to you? It seems your importance is growing; the Federation even stepped in personally to cover it up for you."
An Ruoxue said with a smile.
"Letâs not talk about that now. Ruoxue, can you do me a favor?"
"Sure, go ahead!"
"Can you send me back to the Federation?"
Su Ming looked at An Ruoxue full of hope.
An Ruoxueâs smile instantly froze, somewhat embarrassed she replied.
"Sorry, I canât send you back to the Federation right now. All the high-grade ships are in my fatherâs hands, and we can only operate in the rear of the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country. Once we leave this area, weâll be targeted by the Fanluo God Emperor."
"Itâs okay."
Su Ming shook his head as he replied.
"But just wait patiently, once our matter here is settled, Iâll think of a way to send you back."
An Ruoxue said to Su Ming.
Hearing An Ruoxueâs words, Su Ming asked curiously.
"Why did you suddenly ally with the Divine Word Legion? You must be plotting something, right?"
"Nothing escapes you, we are indeed plotting a big operation."
An Ruoxue said with a chuckle.
"What is the big operation?"
Su Ming grew increasingly interested.
"You should know about the Heavenly Revelation Divine Countryâs new weapons, the Silver Executor and the Red Spear, right?"
"Yes, these two types of weapons have caused the Federation quite a bit of trouble."
"Actually, the reason the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country can mass-produce these two types of weapons is because they discovered a special planet, from which they extracted large quantities of materials. Besides that, they also extracted a Divine Artifact from that planet, which was also sent to a secret lab for production."
"I see."
"Now we have control of their material reserves, production lines, and the location of the secret lab. We plan to go all out, hit their material reserves, destroy their production lines, and stop the production of the Divine Artifact weapon. Once these things fall into the hands of the Fanluo God Emperor, we wonât have any chance to turn the tide. But our current military strength isnât enough, and we have no choice but to cooperate with the Divine Word Legion."
An Ruoxue explained to Su Ming.
"I understand."
Su Ming nodded as he listened.
